Remake of my TD coffee shop orders post with ALL the characters bc I am bugging rn

GEN ONE:

Ezekiel: He drinks plain coffee, possibly with cream and sugar, just bc it’s how he grew up

Eva: If a protein shake is available, I mean obviously she’s taking that, but under regular coffee shop constraints I think she’d do a black coffee, MAYBE a coffee with milk on special occasions. I don’t think she cares about the taste she just wants the energy boost

Noah: I’m kinda conflicted. Bc I think he’d make fun of high-sugar and froofy drinks, but also I think he’d be too self aware to drink black coffee to look cool and he needs the adhd sugar serotonin boost. Maybe I’d go middle ground, have him drink a latte or a mocha. I think he tries to narrowly avoid coffee discourse but just narrowly

Justin: He loves stupid fancy high-detail drinks. He is the fucking joke about the guy who asks you to heat his milk to a certain degree Celsius. He drinks Virgin Irish coffee with nonfat gelato and splenda. Whipped cream towers and wafer straws. I fucking hate this guy

Katie: She likes PSLs and owns it. Go girlboss. And Frappuccinos, if it’s full of sugar she loves it.

Tyler: He doesn’t like coffee, tries to drink skinny lattes or hot espresso and hates them both. He also hates protein shakes. Medicine teas? So bad but he tries. You know what he likes? He likes fruit smoothies and juices. It’s his secret jam. He’s bisexual

Izzy: Redbull, she will not drink any normal liquid, it’s this or monster or like a cosmopolitan at 9am. You take her to a coffee shop? “Yeah can I get a cup of syrup?” They have a primal urge to just, destroy their body. She’s playing chicken with God. Also, hot dog water

Cody: He likes chocolate milk, I feel like this ones obvious, he would cry and shit his pants if he had to drink real coffee

Beth: Also not a big coffee girl, I think even a frappe would be much for her. She’s a juice drinker. Maybe a smoothie drinker? But I think she’d be happiest with like an orange or apple juice box

Sadie: Obviously a Frappuccino or fancy latte like Katie, twinsies, etc. but I do think she’d be insecure about ordering one without Katie

Courtney: Soy milk macchiato, or like an espresso or red eye with a dash of soy milk. Whatever, lots of coffee and a little soy milk so she can technically claim she’s not a neurotic coffee addict. She would just do crack if she was a little more deranged

Harold: He likes those fucking anime sodas those piss me off for no reason. But fr do I think he’d be a coffee snob and order like a “piccolo latte” at a Dutch Bros. Leshawna almost kills him for it. Duncan does kill him for it

Trent: Hot take: Trent’s a tea guy. He likes white or green, maybe with some nut or oat milk. I would say matcha but honestly i feel like it would be too heavy for him. He’s not a drink girlie he just likes water usually but if he sees a good tea shop, he’s like “ah what the hell”

Bridgette: She would be a refresher or iced fruit tea enjoyer. Especially like cistrusy drinks. Maybe, on like holidays, every other leap year, she would get oat milk or soy milk with like a half shot of espresso

Lindsay: Nonfat caramel macchiato, maybe blended with ice. She likes basic sweet coffee drinks and you know what? She deserves it

DJ: I think he’d be a big juice guy, especially like green juices. I could see him getting a latte or cappuccino with, say it with me everyone, plant milk, but idk. I don’t think he’s super picky

Geoff: Once again I don’t think he’s picky, but I do think he’d be a day drinker, like he’d order a Long Island iced tea in the morning with a fake ID or he’d pour vodka into a latte. I could also see him ordering a frappe or maybe even an egg coffee.

Leshawna: HOT TAKE: I think she’d really like an affogato. It’s creamy, it’s sweet, and she deserves a treat with a bit of a kick

Duncan: This will be a theme in here: he pretends to like black coffee but doesn’t. At least, it’s not his favorite. He’s actually more fond of sweet cold brews.

Heather: I know Duncan had his “double caramel macchiato” line but I personally think Heather would like French Vanilla coffee, AND she’s a bean snob. She needs a rich ass ristretto made from good beans, she can taste bean quality. Like honestly she owns a French press and probably a cezve too. She also likes Turkish coffee most.

Gwen: I do not care what base coffee she gets I do not care what flavor, I do not care what proportion she gets milk to coffee; but I know, with all my heart, she likes OAT MILK. And her coffee is ICED. She thinks the oat milk makes her special. She takes her Prozac with it. But she is not special, she’s just gay.

Owen: Owen likes many things but I do not think coffee is one of them. He likes starbucks vanilla frappuccinos.

GEN TWO:

Staci: She’s definitely a boba girl, but honestly i think she’d be fine with most teas. She likes them with milk and fruit because it makes them look special and makes her look cultured

Dakota: I still hold true to the idea that she’s a seasonal drink enjoyer, but also she loves anything iced coffee. Especially white mochas, sweet = good

B: I still think they’d like plain teas because they’re calming and not too sweet, but I don’t think they’d turn down a plain coffee. I just don’t think they’d get super hyped on it

Dawn: Definitely a matcha liker. Also only drinks plant based milks and creamers, if she uses any at all. I don’t think she’d turn down any other tea though, they might like floral or fruity ones. He and B have tea enjoyer solidarity

Sam: Of course he’d prefer G-Fuel and just general energy drinks over everything, but if he was at a proper drink shop I think he’d take his coffee with milk and sugar. It’s not a big deal if he can’t get them, caffeine’s the priority, but he’d prefer them

Brick: He tries to drink espresso to contend with Jo and his military bros, but I think he’d really like fruit smoothies or fruity teas (maybe one with orange peel or vanilla) if he was allowed to have them

Anne Maria: Caramel Macchiato, easily, she likes it extra and she likes it sweet. I however retract my statement about her liking frappuccinos, I think she’d call them a pussy drink

Mike: He likes a generic vanilla iced coffee because he’s, you know, Mike, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he put a little shot of whiskey in his morning cup for a little audacity

Chester: Black tea with lemon. He’s a tea guy, said what I said. Bitter, sour, easy. Also he probably couldn’t afford milk and sugar as a kid

Svetlana: Honestly I don’t think she’s a real drink girlie either, considering how she likes to stay in shape and also I don’t think she’d like the taste of coffee/tea. Maybe she’d like juices? Like with strawberries and mangos and greens.

Vito: Ristretto buddy, this guy can take down the nastiest bitterest tasting coffee and not even blink. It does make him bounce off the walls tho

Manitoba: I think he’d like an espresso/doppio, maybe a flat white? He just downs it, doesn’t care about the taste much. He’s eaten worse probably he’s like “hey it’s not dirt! woop woop!” and drinks a whole pot and runs around and picks up a squirrel with his teeth and dies

Mal: Normally I’d say black because “ooo he so edgy” but honestly I think he’d like a brown sugar latte or a cup of chai. He likes the flavors, strong flavors. That or Monster because he’s insane

Jo: Black coffee, but not for any like status reasons. It just tastes good to her

Scott: He only drinks shitty instant coffee, usually without sweetener or cream bc he didn’t have them growing up. It’s always boiling hot. And he hates every other drink.

Zoey: She does like a good iced coffee but I think she much prefers milk teas (esp with boba). Also I think she likes the Starbucks pink drink and Mal bullies her for it

Lightning: He would like a protein shake if it’s available, not a fan of coffee or tea. Maybe he’d drink a juice or smoothie but it would have to be heavily vegetable and/or spice based.

Cameron: The taste of coffee would kill him, and he’s grown up scared of milks and sweet drinks and nuts bc his mom only let him drink water out of fear of him developing diabetes or something. I think maybe Zoey and Mike would slowly warm him up to something lighter like green tea.

GEN THREE:

Beardo: He likes lavender tea with lemon and honey, it soothes his voice

Leonard: I think he’d like herbal teas and fruit juices, they’re like potions

Amy: I don’t know, maybe a white chocolate mocha or frappe? But I do know she screams at the baristas!

Rodney: I hold true to the fact that he memorizes everyone’s orders, rehearses his own order, and will drink whatever to be included— BUT I think his preference is fruit smoothies. He’s just too afraid to order them.

Sammy: Frappucinos, fruit teas, juices, milk teas, anything cold and sweet basically. She doesn’t really like coffee though

Ella: Similar to Sammy, likes strawberry-flavored drinks especially. They make her feel like a princess.

Topher: Latte macchiato. On a technical level he’s a bean snob also and specifies the beans he wants every time he orders, but he can’t taste the difference and honestly likes the cream better than the coffee.

Dave: Makes fun of “basic girl” coffee orders. He gets black coffee and hates it. He truthfully doesn’t like any drinks. Maybe a seltzer water.

Scarlett: A plain tea enjoyer. Peppermint, ginger, black; not a fan of fruity ones though.

Max: Plain milk, and it’s fucking gross

Jasmine: She likes savory or bitter drinks, mostly black coffee with cream but no sugar. I think she’d also like chai.

Sugar: An anti-tea advocate. But she does like instant coffee with sugar, a similar situation to Scott. And maybe she’ll drink straight half-and-half.

Sky: Likes green juices and ginger tea, she needs that health boost but isn’t a fan of protein powder or black coffee.

Shawn: He likes black coffee, but is trying to cut back on it because it makes him neurotic. I don’t think he’d really like any other drinks much.

GEN 4:

Tammy: Same as Leonard, but I also think she’d like boba and even some of the fruity Monsters

Pete: He’s way too proud of drinking pure black coffee because he’s an old man

Gerry: He one-ups Pete by drinking pure vodka because he’s petty

Ellody: She likes kombucha and will tell you all the gut benefits

Mary: Green tea, 100%. She likes how calming it is

Laurie: Chai tea, she thinks it’s like spiritual or some bs, and gets mad when people question her tastes

Miles: Matcha, she says a lot of bs about “extracting the earthy notes”. Has it really together here

Tom: Iced coffee as hell. You know him, pretentious

Jen: Smoothies, so many smoothies, and they taste so strong

Taylor: Has the most detailed coffee order. She tells you the temp, the order to pour it in, the five different syrups she wants, what milks to mix together, and she doesn’t tip you when you make it.

Kelly: Wine. She says wine every time you ask her what she wants to drink. She thinks it’s funny. It’s not

Jay: Has to drink water because he’s allergic to everything else

Mickey: Drinks that gross thick water stuff bc Jay doesn’t want him to aspirate and die or something

Chet: Muscle Milk

Lorenzo: Also Muscle Milk

Rock: Monster, and it makes him nuts

Spud: Monster, and he feels totally normal, and just drinks it for the taste

Dwayne: Says he likes straight black coffee, actually drinks coffee with cream and sugar in a closed cup

Junior: He’s not allowed to drink coffee or tea he just gets apple juice (he pretends it’s beer)

Ennui: Drinks cranberry juice and says it’s blood

Crimson: Drinks cranberry juice also and, get this, says it’s blood

Stephanie: Won’t go to drink shops bc she’s certain she can make her own drinks better than the shops can (she can’t)

Ryan: Protein shake again, if you fuck up his order he won’t say anything he will deal with it himself and drink the whole thing to avoid hurting your feelings

Devin: Tries Red Bull to impress people and throws up; he really likes mint tea

Carrie: Tries to drink tea and coffee for the aesthetic but the only drink she really likes is lemonade

Kitty: She doesn’t even go for frappucinos it’s just milk shakes and Virgin strawberry daiquiris, and she deserves it

Emma: A cortado. Tries not to go overboard and doesn’t like the taste of coffee too much. But she’s definitely had days where shes shoots like ten espressos and disassociates

Josee: French-press ristretto, she takes one cup every morning to remind herself that god is dead and give herself that angry passion for ice dancing

Jacques: Tries to drink a different tea every morning to see if they can calm him down; they do not work

Brody: He tries a new drink every day and usually only likes the fruity ones. Has definitely gotten food poisoning this way. Did drink bath water once

Sanders: Normal iced coffee. She’s…normal. Kind of.

MacArthur: A smoothie with peanut butter in it. Loves her gains, loves her nut butters

HOSTS:

Chris: I mean we all know, hot chocolate and tomato juice. I do think in terms of personality though he is a latte-drinker and bean snob

Chef: He likes himself a nice cold fruit drink. A virgin piña colada maybe. Or that shitty unicorn frappucino. But he also still likes a good shitty espresso

Blaineley: Iced tea. Hot take I think she fears most coffee drinks, which is sad, but accurate.

Josh: Idk does he have a personality? Sparkling juice in a champagne flute (carries it in his pocket everywhere; he has big pockets)

Don: A warm mocha, but tries not to make a big deal out of it (he does not succeed)

Like and follow for more epic content this took me several hours

EDIT I FORGOT ALEJANDRO AND SIERRA HOLD ON

Sierra: Anything super sugary and super caffeinated. I know she loves the pink Monster. But at a coffee shop, probably a caramel macchiato or a mocha Frappuccino

Alejandro: Usually he drinks a really pretentious brand of espresso or ristretto, maybe a chai, but once in a while he has a cheat day and has a caramel or cinnamon latte

Day 15 - Sunday

Good sleep but body clock woke me around 6. Felt too hungover to go back to sleep so I cleaned up. Kept hydrating. Mum was startled to see me washing up at around 7. She took over to finish what little was left and I went to try and rest my eyes.

Aunty and mum made a racket so I peeped out to see what was going on. They were discussing the prospect of coffee. I grumbled back to bed. The thought of the amount of packaging and and wastage over the past 2 days kept me up so I messaged the ladies and insisted that they had a sit down coffee. No paper cups. It worked. I got about 1 hour of rest.

Slowly got up to see everyone up and having breakfast. Apparently we were taking the Lam kids along. So while they discussed transport plans, I tucked into my Bun Rieu while Ted had toast with margarine and a peach.

We eventually got into a maxi taxi which seemed like a great idea at the time. Until he started swerving, driving between two lanes, beeping people, etc. I cried, it was that bad. During the drive, we agreed to go do Violet’s suggestion and do escape room. The way it was described, it sounded reasonable.

When we jumped off, mum, Ted and I went to help me wash up at the MacDonald's. This was when trouble began. People kept splitting off, rushing off or waiting around. On the way to escape room, I wanted to have a nice stroll there, with a bit of time to check out cool urban design features which was good for mum because she walks quite slowly. Everyone else raced off and it wasn't long before we lost them.

We reached Bourke Street when the calls came. We kept our pace because we originally intended for people to take their time and appreciate everything that was going on in Melbourne. When Ted, mum and I arrived we find out Aunty has gone back towards H&M with little girl cousin to buy a jumper. So we waited. Until Violet wanted to check out a K-pop store nearby. Another half hour and mum discovers that it would cost $310 to do escape room.

So we escaped for lunch. Slowly made our way to Pellingrini's. Not a great first impression for mum. Expect an Italian Nona who's forced to feed some Asian strangers not so great impression. Regardless, I managed the orders for all 11 people and all dishes came out before Aunty and little girl cousin came back.

The littlest Lang boy, Ken-shin who will now be referred to as Ken, managed to eat some carbonara. Success. Ted had a cheese ravioli in napolitana sauce with watermelon granite. I enjoyed my spaghetti bolognaise with the same drink. The buttered bread was beautiful as usual.

Next stop was the Royal Arcade and the Houpetoun tea Room. We thought we should show the niche places along the way such as the back areas of China town and the really narrow alley way you can pass through to get to China town. Aunty went a bit nuts and insisted on a posed photo. It did look good in the end but took a lot of effort on both parties (sorry unsuspecting stranger chef that just wanted a smoke break). Then mum thought it would be nice to take a photo by the China town gates. At this point we just wanted to get going. But we were willing to do it for mum who didn't ask for much during this trip. But guess who made a big fuss and decided it was all too hard? And so we finally reach the royal arcade. Guess who we were waiting for again? Yep, Aunty couldn't resist going through each shop for at least half an hour. Eventually, I organised the younger folk to do their agenda on their own which was to buy some trading cards and mum, little sis, Ted and I just left her to her own devices started to head towards the tea Room. As we got in line, mum and little sis went to look at the Dr Suess display.

Half hr later, everyone eventually met up only to find they needed to wait another 10-20 minutes. Everyone was ok with it aside from the most difficult Lang child (Kevin) and you guessed it, the Aunty who went to the shop across. The crucial bit of info that missed out on at this point was she bought some very expensive salts and put it in Sean's bag. More on that later. Oh and Violet raced off to go meet a friend while we waited.

When we finally got in, Ted and I had a separate table which at this point Ted was happy with. I didn't mind. We both gave up on the dairy free idea at this point too. We shared a fig tart and a Yuzu citrus tart, both very delicious with Earl Grey tea and coffee. Everyone enjoyed their teas and cakes too. Ted's treat. Appreciated by all but one person who apparently had a rough time "looking after" the Lang kids during tea time. She used this as verbal arsenal later. Violet was not present for all of this, she never came back in time for the tea Room. Yes this is building up to something.

So now we were thinking a river walk. First we had to meet up with Violet, who agreed to meet at H&M. On the way we found a place to relieve ourselves and discovered how cold it got. So somebody suggested we get jumpers at H&M. Mum, Ted and I made our way there as Aunty rounded everyone else up to race towards H&M. I have to admit, H&M was quite the spectacle inside. It was like a circus. But a really nice one. We find Violet and then Aunty on the top floor, shopping for presumably jumpers for everyone. Ted and I went off to get jumpers for ourselves. At this point, little boy cousin’s gone a bit hyper from the lack of motherly attention and is running all over the place with little girl cousin and bumping into people.

When we finally got our jumpers, we come back to a separated group with the Cheethams sitting on their own. I went over to mum to find out what had happened, she said that maybe we should go home because Aunty had a fight with the kids. I suggested we should just keep on walking as we didn't really do much at all aside from wait. I go over to the Aunty to find out she just wanted to go home. I said we were going on the river walk if wanted to join. Impatiently she said we needed jumpers for everyone. This was where I was confused because I thought we spent all this time to do that very specific thing. But it clicked that all Aunty did was "shopping". So I (in hindsight stupidly) joked:

But what were you doing this entire time up there?

Things blew up. She started wagging her finger in my face - don't you dare talk to me like that!

What do you mean? I was joking? Lighten up!

In a louder tone - you don't talk to me like that I've been taking care of the kids all day

Etc. Etc. Told you she'd used that one time to justify her childish behaviour.

Ted instantly defends me - don't you talk to her like that

Aunty jumps into mental mode and we both hurried away from the lost mental case that is my Aunty. Meanwhile my mum was trying to calm the situation or at least get my brother to go with us to no avail. Poor mum. A few metres down, I called her to see if I could get everyone but the Cheethams to come for a river walk. Defeated, mum just had to take the kids home as the aunty pulled the Cheethams into a taxi without another word and left mum on her own. Turns out, earlier, little boy cousin was caught running around, with a dripping bag. Aunty discovered that little boy cousin had kept a water bottle open in the bag. The same bag she kept her expensive salts in.

Ted and I took a relaxed stroll towards the river. Came across a gay festival, a nice and weird frankenkeyboardwindpipe busker and very beautiful rosemary roasted potatoes with spicy aioli and cocktails at the Riverland bar.

Then decided to go on a Ramen hop. Got some delicious kimchi miso Ramen at Mappen Ramen which is a chain that can also be found in Sydney. This store was way better though. Better shop layout and better food.

Walked around trying to find a bar we haven't been to and isn't too noisy. Bought a mini glass terrarium for mum. Ended up at the boiler house which was funny because we've met 2 boilermakers during our time in Melbourne. I had a smoky set whereas Ted had a cistrusy breakfast one.

Made our way to the next Ramen place (Shujinko) and bumped into Ted’s uni mate, Olivier who works at Woods Baggott. His date turned out to be his mum. After a half hour wait, we discover that they didn't have many vegetarian options. Stormed out of that one. As much as I love Ted, sometimes, vegetarians are difficult to go out with.

Tired and cold, Ted hailed a cab for us and we crashed as soon as we arrived at Lang's house.

Score: 10-355
