New Coffee Shop Concept: 'Judgmental Barista' Who Comments On Your Life Choices
The 'Honest Brew' cafe employs baristas trained to say things like 'That's a lot of sugar for a person with your health history.'
The Honest Brew coffee shop has opened with a unique concept: baristas who openly comment on your life choices while making your coffee. Baristas are trained to say things like 'That's a lot of sugar for someone who told me they were trying to be healthier' and 'You look tired, are you sleeping enough, or just making poor life choices?' One customer said, 'I ordered a large latte and the barista said -That's your third one today, we're keeping a chart. I felt so seen.' The shop also offers a 'Tough Love Latte' that comes with a 5-minute lecture about your daily habits. Regular customers report feeling 'simultaneously judged and supported.' The shop has a 5-star rating with the review 'It's like therapy but meaner and with caffeine.'
