Cafe World: New promo surveys offer 5 Cafe Cash, but one's a faker

Cafe World promotional survey for free Cafe Cash
If you've been waiting for some free Cafe Cash and haven't checked the Earn Café Cash tab of Cafe World recently, now's the time to log in. Right now, clicking on that tab should lead players to three new promo surveys, but there's a catch -- only two of the three will be earning you any premium game currency.
Cafe World TheTruth.com Spheres survey
The one disguised as "Answer the question: In what year were you born?" is actually a public service announcement from TheTruth.com, a famous anti-smoking campaign! We're not sure why they wanted to deceive players by pretending their survey is something else. But at least they were honest about not choosing to advertise their survey as giving out any Cafe Cash. (Edit: Even though this gives out Cafe Cash, it doesn't say it will. But I got 3 Cafe Cash when I was done, and another person who commented on this post received 4. We're not sure about why there's a discrepancy. Either one of us can't count or the survey has a way to dole out the freebies depending on one's answers.)
Cafe World Tom's of Maine free Cafe Cash
For the ones here to deliver the goods, we've got Tom's of Maine, an all-natural personal care products company that's offering 3 Cafe Cash for clicking through their poll and watching their promo video.
Cafe World Toyota free Cafe Cash
And Toyota is offering 2 Cafe Cash for some casual questions about how you got your first car, and then they want to know which of their three clips about car ownership you liked the most.

Remember, as always, there's no obligation to do anything but answer the poll questions in order to get your free monies. You don't have to 'like' a page or even respond to the questions truthfully. But it's best to be honest since companies do desire this data, and it certainly wouldn't hurt you to answer.

Thanksgiving Guide: FarmVille, FrontierVille, Mafia Wars & more

thanksgiving facebook
Thanksgiving is next in the 2010 holiday line up, and we couldn't be more excited for the big turkey day. Halloween just came to a spectacular conclusion with over 160 festive game updates spanning across a ton of different Facebook games. But there's no time to catch your breath, we have to start preparing for Thanksgiving day and a brand new batch of holiday game content.

We expect Thanksgiving updates from FarmVille, FrontierVille, Restaurant City, Mafia Wars, Pet Society, Cafe World, and all the other big games. But Halloween set the bar high; will Thanksgiving deliver the same caliber of Facebook game updates? I think we can count on our favorite Facebook games to give us something to be thankful for.

So put the turkey in the oven, call the relatives, and dive into all the Thanksgiving 2010 Facebook game updates below. Check back in here for all the latest Thanksgiving updates and items.

Note: The newest posts are at the bottom of each game list. Posts in BOLD are the biggest Thanksgiving updates.

Cafe World: Earn 50 Cafe Cash for Harry & David purchase

If you've been waiting for another shopping promotion in Cafe World, Zynga has launched a new one this weekend that you might be interested in. This newest promotion is from Harry & David, a gourmet gifts retailer.

Via this promotion, you'll be able to receive 30% off gourmet gifts, and get free standard delivery on all purchases. You'll need to activate this offer by clicking on the link (as seen at right) which appears below the Cafe World gameplay area. From there, place a legitimate order between now and December 18 and you'll receive 50 free Cafe Cash a reward for taking part.

While this offer will, of course, require you to put out some real money before you receive your Cafe Cash, if you had been planning on making such a purchase anyway, why not take a few extra seconds to activate the Cafe World deal and earn something for yourself in the process?

Cafe World Toaster Oven Goals: Everything you need to know

Along with the release of the Toaster Oven in Cafe World comes a series of six missions, that will introduce you to the appliance, as well as a series of new recipes that are only able to cook in the Toaster Oven. These missions are appropriately named Toaster Oven I, II and so on, and are actually some of the most complex goals we've seen in the game to date. This isn't due to the fact that any one particular mission is incredibly difficult, but due to the fact that during these six goals, you will actually unlock two branching trios of missions, that must be completed before you can head back to the Toaster Oven goals.

I know it sounds confusing, but the best way to explain it would be to simply jump in. That being the case, Toaster Oven I asks you to simply place the Toaster Oven in your cafe, which is as good of a place as any to start.

Place your Toaster Oven
Cook 3 Home Style Pot Roast
Earn 1000 coins

This is luckily a case where all you have to do is cook the Home Style Pot Roast, rather than actually waiting for it to cook, which would take a full two days. Once you complete this mission, you'll receive 3,000 coins, 300 Cafe Points, and a Fresh Fruits and Veggies decorative item, which can be found on the 3rd page of Decor in the store.


Toaster Oven II has you completing your Toaster Oven, along with cooking even more Pot Roasts (yes, just cooking - not serving).

Complete your Toaster Oven
Place Bread Rack in Cafe
Cook 5 Home Style Pot Roast

For complete details on how to finish the Toaster Oven in your Cafe, check out our guide. Meanwhile, the Bread Rack is available to purchase by simply clicking on the "Buy It" button which opens the appropriate page in the store. You can purchase the decorative item for 25,000 coins. Finishing this second quest unlocks a new recipe in your cookbook - the Toaster Pastries. You can cook the Toaster Pastries for 1,000 coins, and they will be ready in 30 minutes. You'll have 25 servings to sell for 55 coins each, for a return of 1375 coins in total.

Toaster Oven III sees you putting this new recipe to work, along with actually serving another dish.

Serve 10 Breakfast Sandwiches
Serve 5 Toaster Pastries
Get 5 Jars of Jam

You'll earn the Jars of Jam by clicking on the "Ask" button and sending out requests to your friends to help you. While you're waiting you can cook not only the Toaster Pastries, but also the Breakfast Sandwiches, which take just 3 minutes to cook, but can also only be prepared in the Toaster Oven. They cost 150 coins to cook, and will offer you 10 servings which can be sold for 25 coins each, giving you a return of 250 coins in total. Finishing this quest rewards you with 4,000 coins and 400 Cafe Points.

Toaster Oven IV is the last mission before things become a bit complicated. To finish this mission, you'll need to complete three fairly simple steps.

Cook 6 Toaster Pastries
Place a Lucky Tangerine Tree in your Cafe
Spice 3 Neighbors' Stoves

The Lucky Tangerine Tree is available to purchase for 8,000 coins. You'll need to scroll past all of the new items, into the older decorations to find this one, as they are listed by price. Finishing this quest rewards you with 5,000 coins, 500 Cafe Points, and a "Busy City Setting Window," which is a decorative item that can be found in the Windows section of the store, not the decorative tab.

Here's where things become complicated (you can't say I didn't warn you), but Di's Mingle Network has the info to help clear up any confusion. To complete Toaster Oven V, you'll need to complete three steps:

Serve 8 Bruschettas
Serve 10 Caramel Apples
Get 8 Loaves of Bread

While asking your friends for the bread and serving 10 Caramel Apples (a two hour dish) is fairly self-explanatory, if you try to cook Bruschettas, you'll realize that the dish has yet to be unlocked on your account. This triggers the first of two side-quests that you'll need to complete. Here are the details for unlocking Bruschetta. We've indented them on the page to keep them separate, and you must complete all three tasks to unlock Bruschetta, and then head back to the Toaster Oven quests proper.

    Bruschetta I:

    Get 5 Tomatoes (ask friends)
    Get 5 Cloves of Garlic (ask friends)
    Place your Toaster Oven

    Rewards: 5,000 coins & 1000 Cafe Points

    Bruschetta II:

    Get 8 Pieces of Mozzarella (ask friends)
    Get 6 Loaves of Bread (ask friends)
    Serve 6 Belgian Waffles (a two hour dish)

    Rewards: 5,000 coins & 1000 Cafe Points

    Bruschetta III:

    Serve 10 Breakfast Sandwiches
    Serve 10 Pumpkin Pie (a 12-hour dish)
    Get 15 Pieces of Mozzarella

    Reward: Bruschetta recipe


Once you've unlocked Bruschetta, you'll be able to cook the dish for just 240 coins. It is ready to serve in 5 minutes, and you'll have 10 servings to sell for 35 coins each. This gives you a return of 350 coins total. Once you've unlocked Bruschetta and have completed Toaster Oven V, you'll receive 3,000 coins, 300 Cafe Points, and the Kitchy Tableware decorative item, which is found in the Windows section of the store.

For Toaster Oven VI, the final mission in the current lineup of Toaster Oven quests, you'll need to cook another locked dish, unlocking another trio of side-quests.

Serve 12 Eggplant Sandwiches
Get 15 Eggplants
Get 10 Tomatoes

You'll be able to ask your friends to send you both the Eggplants and Tomatoes, but as the Eggplant Sandwich recipe is locked to you, you'll need to unlock it by completing the following three quests:

    Eggplant Sandwich I:

    Get 5 Eggplants (ask friends)
    Earn 10,000 coins
    Get 8 Iceburg Lettuces (ask friends)

    Reward: Kitchy Cutting Countertop (decorative item)

    Eggplant Sandwich II:

    Get 8 Loaves of Bread (ask friends)
    Serve 10 Clubhouse Sandwich (an 18-hour dish)
    Get 6 Cucumbers (ask friends)

    Reward: 5,000 coins & 1000 Cafe Points

    Eggplant Sandwich III:

    Get 12 Baby Spinach (ask friends)
    Get 6 Tomatoes (ask friends)
    Spice 5 Neighbors' Stoves

    Reward: Eggplant Sandwich recipe


Once you've completed these three quests, you will have unlocked the Eggplant Sandwich recipe proper, which can be cooked for progress back in Toaster Oven VI. Once you can collect the Eggplants and Tomatoes in that job, along with cooking the Eggplant Sandwiches, you'll receive your final reward for this quest set - a Red Rush Lightning Stove. Remember, these Lightning Stoves not only cook food in one-click, but they also cook food faster, so it's great to have more than one on hand at once.

Like I said, these quests are complicated, and definitely won't be easy to complete (unless you have a never-ending supply of Cafe Cash with which to skip steps by unlocking them). However, with a bit of determination and patience, you should be able to receive the awesome prize at the end, and will have unlocked a series of new recipes that you can't find anywhere else. Whether or not you tackle these quests now or later, however, will be up to you.

What do you think of these Toaster Oven goals? Are they too complicated to be enjoyable, or do you like a good challenge?
