There’s drama brewing at the city’s strangest café. Coffee Talk: Episode 1 puts you behind the counter of an all-night coffee shop in a fantastical version of Seattle, crafting drinks for hipster elves, chain-smoking demons, and anyone else in need of caffeine and company. Listen to their tales as you whip up cozy beverages—your customers may not be human, but their stories definitely are.

What we love: Figuring out what customers need, not just what they want. When a sleep-deprived Freya comes in for her usual triple espresso, make her a Bedchamber instead (a soothing mixture of milk, cinnamon, and honey). She’ll curl up for a much-needed nap.

Quick tip: The order of ingredients changes the flavor profile. Tea, honey, and lemon make a simple honey lemon tea—but tea followed by lemon and then honey creates a slightly more bitter Midsummer Night’s Dream, a favorite of Hyde the vampire.

Meet the creator: The Coffee Talk series comes from Indonesian indie studio Toge Productions. Its creator, Mohammad Fahmi, passed away in 2022 at just 32 years old. Toge is carrying the Coffee Talk franchise forward with sequels that honor Fahmi’s work.
