Cafe World Joe and Lisa Proposal Part 3: Everything you need to know

About a week ago, Part 2 of the extended Joe and Lisa Proposal Event launched in Cafe World, which threw a large snag in the works for Joe, who had to deal with Lisa's parents before getting back to the task at hand. Now that they're out of the way, we can move on to Part 3 of the Joe and Lisa Proposal goal series, which leaves us with the question: Will Joe finally be able to pop the question!?

Before we get to the guide itself, a disclaimer: Yet again, this goal series will likely ask you to cook and serve different dishes than those presented in the guide here. While the quantities will remain the same, there's no way we can personally guarantee which dishes you'll need to serve, so we apologize for that.

Setting the Table

    Place a Romantic Table in your Cafe
    Serve 10 Belgian Waffles
    Serve 10 Fish n Chips


For this portion of the event, we're all about upping the ante for Joe, by setting a scene so romantic that Lisa can't possibly say no. This starts with placing the Romantic Table in our cafes, which is a new building project (guide coming soon check out our guide right here). Again, these dishes may vary from the ones you're told to serve, so just plow through the two you're given and you'll finish this first goal in style.

A Cup of Joe

    Ask for 6 Fine China
    Serve 18 Gourmet Blend
    Serve 10 Tony's Classic Pizza



Unlike the cooking tasks, these item collection tasks should remain the same across all accounts, so just ask your friends to send you the Bags of Almonds and you'll eventually finish this one off. For finishing this goal, you'll receive the Almond-Crusted Mahi Mahi dish.
The Countdown

    Collect 6 Mahi Mahi Filets
    Collect 7 Bags of Almonds
    Serve 12 Mini Crab Cakes


Honestly, these goals seem out of order. Shouldn't we be asked to collect these Mahi Mahi Filets and Almonds before being given the dish they're used in? As it stands, this is the order that Zynga seems to have released the goals in, but if they fix it (to one that makes more sense), we'll make sure to let you know. Did you receive this goal as your second one, rather than third? Let us know that too.

A Hearty Meal

    Collect 8 Cups of Mocha Cream Filling
    Spice 5 Neighbors' Stoves
    Serve 20 Oyster Shooters


You'll receive another new recipe for finishing this goal: The Mocha Hawaiian Malasada, which you'll need to put to use in the next goal.

Oh My Hawaii

    Collect 6 Dessert Boxes
    Serve 10 Mocha Hawaiian Malasada
    Complete level 1 Mastery of Almond-Crusted Mahi Mahi


Yet again, this goal series introduces the concept of dish mastery to the mix, which I suppose is better than endless gift requests, although we're given those here too. Either way, you'll be able to finish the final task on your own time, which is better than relying on others who might not respond - right?

After Dinner

    Collect 8 Dark Chocolate Bark
    Serve Ginger Ale 18 Times
    Collect 8 Dessert Serving Trays


As you can see, we've now moved onto the dessert portion of what is hopefully the "big meal," with the next goal being the big question of whether or not Lisa will say yes to Joe's proposal. You see, you'll be able to hide the ring inside your new recipe: The Dark Chocolate Truffles, and then hope for the best in your final goal:

The Big Question

    Collect 9 Cups of Dark Chocolate Powder
    Finish Building the Romantic Table
    Complete Level 2 Mastery of Dark Chocolate Truffles



The final step of making this question perfect is completing the Romantic Table, which will then trigger all of your cafe's guests to be dressed in formal dinner attire to match Joe and Lisa. If all of this work doesn't get her to say yes, I don't know what will, but unfortunately, we'll have to finish these goals to find out exactly how the story plays out.

As one final note, these goals are extremely limited, and will only be available for the next week. If you don't complete them in time, and unlock the recipes within, it's likely that you may never be given the opportunity again, so please keep that in mind before you decide how quickly to tackle them! Good luck!

Do you think Lisa will say yes to Joe's proposal? What do you think of this (final?) set of Proposal goals? Were you able to finish Parts 1 and 2 in time

Building the Cafe World Romantic Table: Everything you need to know

To go along with what should turn out to be the last set of goals in Cafe World's Joe and Lisa Proposal event, Zynga has released the Romantic Table for Two for building in your cafe. This Table doesn't have a truly game-changing purpose like an appliance would, but it does go along with Joe and Lisa's perfect evening. Of course, you'll first need to build the Table to get anything out of it, so here's how to do just that.

You'll be given the base for free just by pulling it out of the store and placing it in your cafe proper. From there, you'll need to collect nine Crystal Stemware glasses, seven sets of Silverware, five Rose Petals and nine Candles. Wait... isn't this a table for two? Why do we need to collect nine glasses and seven sets of silverware? I suppose I was taking it too literally...

Either way, all four of these items are earned through individual requests to your friends, so at least you won't have to worry about news feed posts getting buried in a sea of other games' requests.

Once the Romantic Table is completely built, it will have a passive effect on your Cafe, similar to the Jack-o-Lantern released in October of 2010. Here though, you'll simply receive guests that are dressed in formal dinner attire, rather than those dressed in Halloween costumes. Since the effect really doesn't do much at the end of the day, I wish I could tell you that you didn't have to build the table, but while you technically don't have to, if you want to finish Part 3 of this Joe and Lisa Proposal event, you must. Why? Finishing the table is required for you to finish the final goal, allowing Joe to actually propose. What's more - those goals must be finished in under a week or they'll expire. Yikes!

For a complete guide on finishing those goals, make sure to check out our guide; just remember that your dishes may be different, so we're all going in a bit blind.

Will you try to build the Romantic Table before the week is up in Cafe World? Are you happy to see this chapter of the Joe and Lisa saga come to an end, or would you prefer it to go on forever?
