Makes you want another shot of expresso!
This was a very cute series. I love how they applied coffee metaphors about different relationship troubles. The only problem for me is this series was too short and had a very abrupt ending. The acting from Boy Nattapon and Todd Techit was good. As for the rest of the cast, the acting was decent. It had some trouble with the sound quality in some areas.Random Note:
I enjoyed this series and would love to see them expand the mystic coffee shop aspect of the script into a longer series.
It was great to see various LBTQ+ representation in the series.

What a cute series! Warm, cuddly, charming, just what the doctor ordered!Coffee Shop is ran by a man with seemingly magical powers: you choose a glass and he will tell your fortune in love! And he is never wrong! Every episode deals with a different love story: straight, gay, trans...human ! And every story is represented by a different coffee drink!
A series like this can go on forever because every episode is standalone with the barista owner the fixture while the clients change! I personally love these omnibus stories: they are easy to watch and can be very varied!
The acting here is hit and miss: the barista is OK while some others probably need additional acting lessons! The production is on the cheap side: a single very empty and not very convincing set! Music is there, I think!
Coffee Shop is a nice filler drama without the beginning or the end it is just there! Lovely!

short and sweet
Overall: this is short but I'll take anything with Boy and Tod. Each of the first three episodes was its own story (f/f, m/f and m/m) with the barista being the common thread. However, episode 4 has built upon episode 3 and then episode 5 had Boy andTod's characters as well. Aired on YouTube, 8 episodes each under 13 minutes.
What I Liked
- f/f relationship in episode 1
- cute moments
- plot tie ins with the type of coffee drink
- ep 3: those white short shorts and the cats
- ep 4: supportive friends and a decent plan
- it's really rare to see exes like this, so that was nice to see
Room For Improvement
- audio isn't the best for dialogue, seemed the worst in ep 1
- comedy sound effects
- the final episode didn't do anything to indicate it was the last episode
- it's obviously a plug for the Vibie app (with listing the actors' Vibie usernames), but I don't really care because it's a cute series
