How to play Pantry Bloom

1. Drag one pan handle onto its matching partner. Combine the resulting pan bowl with the other bowl, then merge your frying pan into its dusty twin. This assembles the first food producer and opens nearby crates.
2. Select the producer, then tap or click it again to make toast in an empty square. Each ingredient costs one energy. A producer rests briefly after using its portions, then restocks automatically.
3. Drag two identical foods together to create the next recipe. You can also select one item and tap a matching item or empty square. Dragging onto a different movable item swaps their places; dusty items need a matching merge before they can move.
4. Check the available customer cards. Each order needs the exact dishes pictured. When all required items are available on the board, choose Serve to collect coins, experience and an energy reward.
5. Open Café and spend coins on the next restoration. Each completed project visibly changes the room and returns fifteen energy. New producers add coffee and pastry orders as the café grows.
6. Use the pantry shelf to save useful dishes, scissors to split a food into two lower-level items, or Sell to free a square. Supplies contains an optional daily parcel, coin-funded energy and a reward for serving five guests.

About Pantry Bloom

Pantry Bloom is a relaxed merge game about a room, its recipes and the neighbours who bring it back to life. Juni has inherited the keys to an old café. There is dust on the furniture, a tired counter and a kitchen full of boxes, but the first breakfast orders are already waiting. Start with simple pan parts, assemble a producer and discover what two matching ingredients can become. Toast becomes egg toast, then salami toast, sandwiches and a generous brunch. Every food is drawn for this game, with colourful plates, cups, pastries and little finishing touches.

The nine-column, seven-row board is both your kitchen and your puzzle. Producers create ingredients at the cost of one energy. Matching items merge wherever you drag them, and merging beside a crate uncovers more of the board. Some ingredients are dusty and cannot move; bring their matching partner to them and the new item becomes usable. Space matters. An extra low-level toast may be the beginning of a new order, while a high-level sandwich might be best kept on the six-space pantry shelf. Up to three guests show their exact requests, and a green order button tells you when all its dishes are ready.

Coins earned from serving guests restore the café one project at a time. Clean the floor, paint the walls, repair the counter and continue until all twelve projects are complete. The coffee machine arrives after the second restoration, and the baking oven unlocks after the sixth, adding new recipe chains and order combinations. Your board, coins, recipes, restorations and supplies save automatically in this browser. Energy returns while you are away, up to its normal cap, so you can return to the same kitchen later. After opening the finished café, keep serving regulars, collecting daily rewards and filling every page of the recipe book.

A little help for your next high score

• Read an order before merging everything in sight. A higher-level dish does not replace a lower-level request, so save the exact recipe a guest wants.
• Merge beside crates when you can. Moving an item into a convenient square before merging can uncover a useful new part of the kitchen.
• Keep at least two empty squares available. A crowded board makes it difficult to create ingredients, retrieve shelf items or use scissors.
• Use the shelf for valuable food you do not need immediately. Stored dishes must return to the board before they can satisfy a customer order.
• Compare a producer upgrade with the next restoration. Upgrades increase its available portions and its chance of better ingredients; restorations unlock the wider café and new recipe families.
