Summary
America runs on coffee; that includes Gotham.
Triple shot for Batman, Matcha Latte for Poison Ivy, who knows what the Riddler will order today. Regardless, it's up to you and your one coworker to keep the streets of Gotham caffeinated.
You just finished your Masters of Music at Gotham University, hoping your sub job with the Gotham Opera and a couple of gigs will help pay off your student debt. No dice. Even with how cheap Gotham rent is, you still have to pick up a job at a coffee shop in the Upper West Side. Online training never prepared you for the kind of patrons you'd see though, and nothing could have prepared you for the interest of a billionaire family in the locally owned shop you worked in.
