☕ Run the cafe
Take orders, cook, brew coffee and keep customers fed — the job sim half is real work, and messing it up has consequences beyond bad reviews.

Anomaly Cafe Guide — spot every anomaly, survive every shift
Anomaly Cafe is the Roblox co-op horror job sim where you run Emma's Cafe with up to 24 players — cook, serve, keep the place standing — while anomalies slip in among your customersand on your CCTV feeds. Miss one and your shift pays for it. This site documents every verified anomaly tell, the kitchen threats, and the game's fast-moving alpha updates — the developers themselves cite Papa Louie and Animal Hospital as the game's inspirations, and it plays exactly like that mix sounds.

How a shift works
👁️ Check everything
Anomalies hide among normal customers in person and on the CCTV feeds. The camera prompt is available from Day 1 — cycle it often; three documented anomalies only show on camera.
🧯 Handle the kitchen threats
Named anomalies like Spore Fly and Coffee Monster Buno attack the kitchen itself — each has a specific trigger and a specific counter, documented on the anomalies page.

What's coming on this site
This guide is young on purpose — we publish only what we've verified, then grow. In progress: a shift-by-shift survival guide, the character roster (Aza, Bonny, Chipper and friends), and per-anomaly detail pages as footage confirms each tell. If the game ships a code system, the codes page flips from “honest zero” to a verified list the same day we can test it.
