Here’s Hoping Coffeeshops Never Get Security Guards
Coffee shops should be chill places
Where you can relax. Let your guard down a bit. Let that creative energy flow or, if you’re on a cliché first date, let those tried and true stories from your time saving baby seals just flow. Coffee shops should NOT be places where Big Brother hangs out, where we feel the watchful eye of Authority scrutinizing our every move.
WITH ONE EXCEPTION.
If there was a coffee shop that ever hired Travis (Jean Robert “Splack” Toussaint) from Black Coffee Cafe, I could definitely get on board with that. This guy has style. He as moves. And he was the complete lack of experience that’s exactly what we look for when it comes to hiring staff dedicated to public safety.
Travis’s attempts to run security at Black Coffee, and to impress his friend — the coffee shop co-owner who carries his juices — Beachum (Joshua Triplett) all backfire spectacularly. Whether he’s insulting guests, trapping them in the shop, or running an unlicensed club, Travis gives the rest of the staff — Anthony (Reggie Couz), Malcolm (Iman Crosson), Crystal (Jennah Brittany), and Black (Zack Kozlow) — one giant headache, all for a simple tip jar.
In Black Coffee, the staff of a Black-owned coffee shop in D.C. try to turn their fledgling little coffeehouse into a hot bean water powerhouse — if they could just get on the same page about how to do that. Can these newbie entrepreneurs grow up fast enough to keep pace with their dreams.
