Coffee shop owner Risotto Nero 🗣
The way I just love coffee shop owner Risotto. IMMACULATE???
He’d have Metallica themed latte art. It’s one of the most popular things in his shop, other than his Metallica shaped pastries uwu. Everyone just eats it all up, loving how cute Risotto’s food & beverages are despite the minimalistic heavy metal theme his cafe sports.
The visual gap just makes everyone go crazy, especially on social media sites 😭👌🏼
But the main attraction of the cafe? Many would agree is the owner himself — Risotto Nero. The epitome of tall & thick muscled goth. He, like his cafe, also has that visual gap. At least, to those who aren’t too pissed scared to talk to him because while he might look like he can strangle you to death in 5 seconds, he’s really just a hard working man who’s actually softer than he (outwardly) seems.
Older folks (like old people I mean) love him, if not for his ethics, then for his kindness when he gives them a free pastry to go with their coffee they ordered (the latter is why ppl who are sad/having a bad day or have a tight budget love him too). Kids find his eyes either creepy or cool, but all of them think it’s super fascinating.
He basically attracts a variety of customers, lots of them love him and he appreciates them all too, but he says he doesn’t have a favourite. What a liar tho lol because he so does have one.
It’s the one who’s eyes shine when they enter his cafe, the one who’s smile quirks up even more when they take a bite into his cousin’s pastry recipe, the one who admires his latte art before softly humming in content when they taste his coffee, the one who asks how he’s doing every time when he’s getting their change ready, the one who buys him a cup of coffee after askin him what’s his favourite on the menu after noticing he was having an off day, the one who compliments his eyes and compares it to the rich dark chocolate and bright raspberry jam pastry the cafe had as specials for one of the days... it’s you.
His favourite customer is you, and he finally expresses that when he asks you for your number so he could take you out on a dinner date after his shift is done. His favourite customer is you and the fact is cemented when you agree with a smile so dazzling that it was all he could think of until your date later on.
