* OutOfContextEavesdropping: Drama ensues in Lucien's second season when Lucien overhears the heroine telling Vallia that she doesn't have any romantic interest in him, not realizing that she only said it because Vallia is a {{Clingy Jealous|Girl}} LoonyFan who has been harassing her about her relationship with Lucien for days.

* LoonyFan: Vallia the cat-mantis girl is the foremost of Lucien's fangirls. She's a little too enthusiastic in her admiration from the beginning, and after Cyril's review goes out in season two she becomes outright insufferable about it, acting as though she's part of the cafe's staff herself because of her efforts in helping to promote the cafe. She goes so far as to track the heroine down in the cafe storage room to interrogate her about her relationship with Lucien and warn her off by suggesting that a romantic relationship with the heroine would ruin Lucien's career.

''Sweet Enchantments'' is a RomanceGame VisualNovel by [[Creator/VoltageInc Voltage Entertainment USA]], released through their ''Creator/{{Lovestruck}}'' app for [=iOS=] and Android devices.

The protagonist, a Seattle-based food blogger, happens upon a whimsically-designed cafe she's never heard about before and makes more of a discovery than she'd bargained for: the cafe, Sweet Enchantments, serves a hidden community of magicians and magical creatures which humans are not meant to know about.

When she's found out by the cafe's staff, she has no choice but to stay on at the cafe until the government can decide how to handle the situation - whenever that might be. In the meantime, there's a whole world of magic to learn about, a cafe full of extremely attractive magicians to get closer to, and a lot of secrets to uncover.

----
!!This game provides examples of:

* BarFullOfAliens: The majority of the action takes place in the eponymous cafe, which serves the magical community. While all of the main cast are humanoid, the clientele are much more widely varied, from pixies to plant-people, giant sapient snails, and a creature that can only be described as a human-sized praying mantis with the head of a cat.
* BazaarOfTheBizarre: The cast members shop for supplies at the Goblin Market, depicted here as an expansive multi-level shopping mall with shops marketing a nigh-unlimited variety of goods both mundane and magical. The cafe staff go there because the Goblin Market offers the freshest produce, but other items mentioned for sale include jeweled golden birds popular for their unique song and the ever-popular lamps that grant wishes.
* CharmPerson: Runa's specialty is charm magic. The ethical implications of using such a power on other people are touched upon in her route, as her misuse of charm magic in the past creates most of the conflict of her first season.
* ColorCodedCharacters: Each of the main cast members has a signature color dominant in their design: pink for Runa, teal for Lucien, red for Roman, and different shades of purple for Zain (dark), Liora (medium), and Emeril (lavender).
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Helping to maintain the color-coding of the cast, every character's eye color matches their hair color (except for Zain, whose black hair and dark purple eyes are close enough to count on a technicality).
* DrinkOrder: A scene in Lucien's first season helps to establish the cast's personalities via the coffee Zain serves them: Lucien's is "black as midnight," Roman's is loaded with whipped cream and chocolate syrup, and Runa's is spiked with liqueur.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: A magician's eyes reflect their unique magical sigil, such as Lucien's pentagram.
* FoodPorn: Especially on Lucien's route, the lovingly detailed descriptions and illustrations of the treats he makes for the cafe are almost guaranteed to leave readers feeling hungry.
* GroupieBrigade: Lucien has a group of overly-enthusiastic fangirls. While he appreciates that they contribute business to the cafe, he mostly finds them tiresome, especially when he and the heroine have to hide from them while out shopping at the Goblin Market.
* TheMasquerade: Humans are not supposed to know about the existence of magic or the magical community at all, which provides the initial excuse for the plot when the heroine accidentally stumbles upon the cafe and its staff has to keep tabs on her until the government can decide how to handle the situation.
* MegaTwintails: Emeril wears her hair in a set of huge spiral-curled GirlishPigtails, either one of which is about the width of her face.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: Lucien specializes in luck magic. He gives the heroine a minor demonstration in his first season by casting a luck-boosting enchantment on her and then challenging her to a game of cards: each of them draws one card, high card wins. When she pulls the higher card on their first draw, he adds the additional rule that her points will double each time she pulls a card that's in sequence with her last draw. Despite the heroine shuffling the deck twice, every card she draws after that is exactly one higher than her last card.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Vivid hair colors seem to be the norm for magicians, and most of the magical cast have hair that humans would only be able to achieve with dye.
