A large portion of the player-base has been using the empty stand next to the pawn shop as a "cafe", in role-play. I'm suggesting we add something over there as a bit of flavor, a barista, maybe some flavorful drinks one could buy, with things like the following.
Red-eye
A standard cup of medium roast coffee with a shot of espresso put in, a particular favorite of the working Free Man.
Cappuccino
A drink involving a shot of espresso, one part frothed milk and two parts frothed milk foam. Such a drink is decedent, and is considered rude to order after the early morning.
Latte
A drink developed outside of the Free Three, this is two shots of espresso with three parts of frothed milk and one part of frothed milk foam. Comes with an assortment of flavors. Were someone to order this at a cafe in any of the Free Cities, they would likely get a cup of hot milk.
Breve
Much like a Latte, this is two shots of espresso and frothed dairy - however, the milk is replaced with cream, making for a smooth, heavy texture. Some claim it tastes like coffee with a stick of butter melted into it.
Tersonicano
A drink developed by the Tersonans, this is a shot of espresso with hot water mixed in. Other cities joke that the Tersonans cannot handle just a shot because of this drink's popularity.
Cafe Au Lait
An Elian invention, this drink is similar to a cappuccino, but lacking any foam. Persnickety coffee vendors of the other two Free Cities refuse to sell this drink, despising it even more than the standard latte. Order at your own peril.
Espresso Corretto
A Matagan specialty, Espresso Correto is a shot of espresso, 'corrected' with a shot of grappa. Only Matagan order this in their city, as it takes a special brand of alcoholism only present in Matagan to require alcohol in their coffee.
And then you can add seasonal variety!
