A fifth employee Chihiro, is newly hired as another part-time waiter, and told on his first day to "Please fall in love."

Based on a PC title, this boys love game includes six male characters, including a new character called Shouta Takayama. You select one of the characters to start off your adventure, then converse, converse, converse your way into the hearts of the other characters, eventually pairing up with one of them. Over 50 endings await.
GAMEPLAY:
Like Birdie, the first game in Ein's Bokura no Ren'ai Shinrigaku series, Cafe Lindbergh is an ADV that uses a multiple character viewpoint system. For every day of the game, you select a character to watch the story from their perspective, and after each scene may have the option to select a different character and watch the previous scene from their perspective as well. Because of this multi-viewpoint system, there is no one "main character" of the game. You can follow the story through the eyes of any of the five main characters, and pair any two of the five main characters together.
The game is played by selecting different character perspectives and text options in the dialogue to lead to a variety of different endings.
CHARACTERS:
- Shinohara Chihiro: Chihiro is a 20-year-old who has just started working as a part-time waiter at Cafe Lindbergh after being recruited by Touno. He is an artist and the son of the owner of a food company, and has just returned to Japan from studying in the United States. Though the youngest he is very adult mentally, and fits into his job well because he always has a smile, is a gentle person, and likes to help others. Because of this he does not let others see his own troubles, unless he finds someone he feels he can open up to.
- Ichinose Shinya: Shinya is a 23-year-old part-time waiter at Cafe Lindbergh. He had just graduated from university the previous spring and found employment with a company, but they shortly went out of business, leaving him unemployed and without a place to stay. He spent some time traveling on his motorcycle, and by chance ended up at Cafe Lindbergh, where he was offered a part-time job and a room in Itsuki's apartment. He is a very quiet and shy person who doesn't speak much, and is also very serious and single-minded.
- Mihara Takumi: Takumi is the 28-year-old cook for Cafe Lindbergh. Because he had an interest in cake making, after high school he went into a special culinary arts school where he studied to become a patissier. After this he worked in a workshop producing pastries that are distributed to a number of restuarants, but left to take the job as the chef of Cafe Lindbergh. He has a powerful personality and expresses his feelings straight. He has an older-brother disposition to take care of others.
- Takamizawa Tsukasa: Tsukasa is 32 years old and a full-time waiter at Cafe Lindbergh. He is exceptional at serving customers and acts as Itsuki's right-hand man with running the shop. He has a calm personality and appearance, always wearing a reserved smile. He is a strong person within, though he is not very strong with self-assertiveness and distances himself from others because he has trouble becoming emotionally close. He is also basically a lacto-vegetarian for mental reasons (though he doesn't like to, he will still eat fish).
- Touno Itsuki: Itsuki is 43 years old and the manager (referred to as the "Master") of Cafe Lindbergh. He is long-term friends with Ryuuji Watanabe, the owner, and was asked by him to manage the shop. He always wears a faint smile, never allowing the true feelings beneath his skin to be seen. He always speaks with honorifics and in a calm, curteous manner, no matter how much younger the person he is speaking to may be.
- Watanabe Ryuuji: Ryuuji is 45 years old and the owner of Cafe Lindbergh. He is the second-generation leader of the Watanabe Group which runs a chain of Italian bistros. He has been friends with Itsuki since school days and having high trust in Itsuki's abilities and thinking of him as a personal advisor, he asked him to manage Cafe Lindbergh. He occassionally stops by to check on the shop.
- Shounen A: Shounen A is thought to be about 20 years old (though no one knows for certain), and is a frequent customer of Cafe Lindbergh, so much so that he is considered their shop "mascot" and has a special reserved table where he reads and writes. Even though he is familiar with the staff, he has never told them his name, using instead the psuedonym "Shounen A" for unknown reasons.
The Sweet Box release features an original drama CD.
