Finding a good cup cup of coffee, late at night, is difficult enough for us mammals. For this here frog, it's an epic adventure! Cappuccino Under The Leaves, a point and click puzzler from Japanese developer Karabina-7, shows how the desire for a caffeine fix will drive even the smallest of amphibians through the most devious of obstacles. Just click around to solve puzzles. Your cursor will change when you place it over an interactive area. Cappuccino Under The Leaves is kind of a bizarre experience, but its puzzles are logical and are very satisfying to plow through. As a whole, the work is an interesting spin on the "player character figuring out alien machines" theme so often found in the escape genre: here, the machines are just human enough to be recognizable, but, when seen through the eyes of a frog, seems like things those trapped in the Submachine probably have to put up with whenever they want a little java. In short, Cappuccino Under The Leaves's cuteness and challenge forms an excellent blend that's good to the last drop.

Stuck on the puzzle with the arrows and numbers -- a hint?
stuck there too! i'll let you know if i figure something out. I think it has to do with
the board on that room with capital A and B, and spirals. I though it had to do with some spiral plants growing on main island where coffee shop is. 7 to one side, 2 to the other. Can't figure the direction of the arrows though...
Oh got it!
Go up and open the umbrella. It'll give you directions of arrows. I was right about the spiral plants....
FINISHED! Cute and simple game!! Loved it!
about the umbrella:
you need to pull the lever on the pipes, on the top-left corner
I got it as well. Kicking myself for overthinking the puzzle.
That was a cute game.
It could have an escape tag except its sort of break in rather than out !
Any hints for the triangle/star puzzle by the train tracks?

Most complicated espresso... EVER!
Can someone help me find the song that plays at the thank you at the end? I'm assuming the links at the bottom are for the music (BGM). But my search is not helping me at all. Thank you.
Very entertaining way of making coffee.
@Tofuninja5489,
The BGM's been credited to MusMus, so the music they used is probably listed on this page: http://musmus.main.jp/music.html
This is a great little game. Nice touch with the realistic rotary telephone.
Great game apart from the conveyor belt puzzle.
@bandsix
