All language subtitles for Would You Like a Cup of Coffee E03

I'm not that picky of a person.
The same goes for cafes.

First, places that are too big
are excluded.

There may be big crowds,
and they're highly likely to be noisy.

The friendliness of the employees
increases a café's desirability.

Welcome! Are you sitting in?

Too friendly makes it uncomfortable.

The music should be
just loud enough to be heard

when you lean in,
but not loud enough to disrupt work.

Isn't it a bit too loud?

Pardon?

I can't concentrate because I can hear
the conversation next to me.

Can you make the music a bit louder?

Pardon?

Ma'am.

He's quite famous. The Café Villain.

-That's him?
-Just do what he asks.

The room temperature
should not feel hot or cold

five minutes
after you take off your outerwear.

Why is it so cold?

It's oddly hot.

The bathroom should be inside the café
and separated by gender.

There must be a window
you can just stare blankly out of,

but it's an issue if it's west-facing.

It tires out the eyes during sunsets
and makes laptop work difficult.

Enjoy.

A paper cup when I'm staying? Illogical.

It might as well be pretty.
I prefer ceramic cups over mugs.

The taste of the coffee?
It must be good, it's a café.

Sir.

Why avoid the comfy,
pleasant co-working space?

A good point made by the new developer.

Free tasty coffee.

A pleasant work environment.
A relaxed atmosphere.

And even various social
networking opportunities.

This place is the best.

If only I wasn't surprisingly
an introvert.

I, of course, also don't have any money.

"The perfect café that can be used
as a personal office doesn't exist."

I beg to differ.

The only thing is…

CLOSING NOTICE:
THANK YOU TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS

…it never lasts long.

HAPPY REAL ESTATE

You're incredibly picky.

I wouldn't say that
I'm particularly picky.

Yes, you are.

Now, let's take a look.

A startup, you say…

Yes, a startup is--

I know what it is.
You don't need to explain.

-Start.
-Yes, start.

My company is still in its early stages.

You'll succeed.

Right here. Perfect for four people.

Oh, really?

It's all set up. You just need to move in.

But it's a bit pricey.

Pardon?

But, sir, I'm not looking for an office.

You said you were looking.

For a space that
could be used as an office…

Right.

An office that feels like a café.

-Isn't that it?
-No, no, no, no, no.

Just a café.
I'm just looking for a quiet café.

Then why did you come here?

I was just hoping to gather some info.

Some info.

Welcome.

Hello.

Yes. Hello, Mr. Kim.

Yes. Yes, I'm at the office.

Yes, I can talk on the phone.

Oh, I see.

Yes, that's fine. What can I do?

But still, you took the time
to look over that shabby proposal

and even made the effort
to provide feedback.

I'm really grateful.

Yes. I'll be in touch. Yes, take care.

Goodbye.

Was our café an office?

Not sure.

EDAE COFFEE

EPISODE 3: VOLDEMORT

Welcome. Hello.

Oh, hello, sir.

Did you get a chance
to look over my proposal?

Oh, not yet. I see.

Oh, you know, I can…
Yes, it's fine. I can wait.

And this is from one of our regulars
that's learning how to bake.

Try it. It's pretty good.

I already feel bad taking up this space
for a long time and now this? Thank you.

We're not selling them
or anything, so no pressure.

Take your time.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

TODAY'S COFFEE
ETHIOPIA YIRGACHEFFE

Baker Kim's cookies aren't selling today
for some odd reason.

If you take a look at the bottom
of page 63 in the doc I sent over,

you'll find
a detailed explanation of that.

Yes, yes, yes.

Yes, yes.

Sir, I just have to get back
to the office now.

I'll call you back right away.

Okay. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Of course, I'm so thankful.

It's good.

-What about that?
-This is tasty, too.

There are 1,500,007,000 cows.

Enough for New Zealand
to impose a fart tax.

They were discussing that.
That needs to be included.

We need to push
the cow fart issue to be included.

Excuse me.

I'm really sorry but I'm going
to run out and eat something.

Pardon?

I'm going to order another
cup of coffee when I get back.

I'm really sorry,
but can you keep an eye on my table?

-Okay.
-Thank you.

Yes, sir. Did you arrive?
Yes, I'm on my way.

Welcome.

Oh, over here.

-Hello. Have you eaten?
-Yes, we have.

Let's order drinks later.

I think we need to wrap up
what we were talking about earlier.

-Okay.
-I took a look at what you sent over.

I think we need to share the values
before we continue this discussion.

The focus of the base
can't just be the sales.

I believe the focus should be
on the environment.

Welcome.

-Mr. Park Sung-min?
-Pardon?

You asked me to be here
as soon as possible.

Why do you keep complaining
to my company about driving safely?

-I never put in a complaint.
-Sir.

Over here.

I apologize.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Mr. Park, no tables?

There are bar seats
if you're okay with that.

I've always wanted to sit at one of these.

But still, it's a bit uncomfortable
to sit with a guest.

I'll come back next time.

We'll be back next time.

-I apologize.
-Come back next time!

Okay.

I mean, isn't that customer
taking it a bit too far?

What do you mean?

He just orders two measly cups of coffee
while occupying that table all day.

Two cups is a lot.

We should be thankful
for one cup at this point.

That's fine for a day or two,
but it's been a week.

That's how great our café must be.

His company's name might have to go
on our signage at this rate.

I didn't think that far.

Does he think
we're running a charity here?

I mean, why doesn't he just work at home?

Were you able to study at home?

I'm sorry, but could you move your feet?

Oh, sure.

Go-bi.

Let's clean here first.

Okay.

I didn't realize how late it was.
I apologize.

We're not closing yet. Take your time.

No, it's fine. I'm almost done anyhow.
I should get going.

It's nice to see someone so focused
they don't realize time is passing.

I recently met an interested investor.

Go-bi.

Yes.

What time do we close?

Eight o'clock.

What does that mean?

Customers can stay without being disturbed
until eight o'clock.

Start cleaning up at eight o'clock.

Right.

See you tomorrow.

A single customer that abuses
those good intentions

could end up
ruining the mood of the entire café.

That makes me angry.

Who?

You know.

I believe we spoke at great length
about that already.

Is he Voldemort or something?
We can't even talk about him now?

Voldemort?

Voldemort. He's Voldemort.

See you tomorrow.

Wait…

What was that?

-Welcome.
-You're open early today.

I'll order later when you're open.

Oh, what…

is this?

I'm sorry, but do you mind
if I just set this down on the floor?

I don't think we can right now.

I see…

Hello.

Why don't you sit there and wait?
We'll clean it up quickly.

Oh, okay. Thank you.

-Feed made out of seaweed?
-That's right.

Cows release as much methane as a car
through belching.

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas

that causes dozens of times more warming
than carbon dioxide.

But when they fed them
feed made out of seaweed…

I read that methane emission
dropped almost 80%

in an overseas research report.

That's when I realized
that was the answer.

So, you'll produce it yourself?

Oh, no.

I'm currently networking
for a research team,

a livestock feed connection,
and a fishery connection.

Even though everyone recognizes
that this is the way to go,

due to personal interests
and industry practices,

it seems like it's difficult for anyone
to take the first step.

So, you're making a platform
that mediates and arbitrates.

That's my dream.

Although, at this point,
I'm just an online seaweed peddler.

I can sense the good intentions.

ESG management
has been a hot topic recently.

Ruthless companies and trades

that are focused
only on increasing their revenue

will cease to exist in the end, I believe.

Thank you.

You can take the seat now.

Oh, okay.

Shall I get your usual coffee order
started?

Can I actually try today's roast today?

-Are you okay with Colombian Supremo?
-I'll just take my usual, please.

I'm sorry.

He just annoys me for some reason.

That's no excuse for such behavior.

If you're stepping out to eat,
you can just leave your stuff here.

No, I just suddenly got a meeting.
I'm leaving early today.

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

He only just apologized to me, right?

I haven't seen him in a few days.

You miss him now that he's not around?

That's not it.

-I'm going to head out.
-Okay. Good job today. See you tomorrow.

Why aren't you leaving?

-Is he not coming back because of me?
-Who?

Voldemort?

You know, it's like…

Something that bothers you
for some strange reason.

So, why act cold
when you can't even be harsh?

How can a businessman be so petty?
How can he expect to do anything great?

Have you ever heard of The Elephant House?

The Elephant House? Is it a zoo?

It's a café. In Edinburgh, Scotland.

I guess their coffee is famous.

I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure.

It's famous for being the café
J. K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter in.

A single mother surviving on welfare

wanting to write a novel
is the fantasy if there ever was one.

But J. K. Rowling made that a reality.

She would go on walks with a stroller.

When her daughter fell asleep,
she would go to The Elephant House,

order a coffee,
and proceed to write endlessly.

I didn't know that.

That's amazing.

But if the owner of that café nagged her
and kicked her out

because she was there for too long,
would we have Harry Potter now?

I mean…

there are other cafés.

Just because they're the same green beans,

doesn't mean
they are the same after roasting.

The café needs to be compatible
with the customers.

Just like how certain roasting
profiles suit certain beans.

Welcome.

Hello.

It's been a while.

I got a few calls after they looked
over my business plan and proposal.

I've been so busy going around
to investors and doing presentations.

It sounds like you'll open an office soon.

I actually set up a meeting here
with the most promising investor.

Here?

I think it'd be best
to find another place.

But she really wanted to see
where I did my work.

And I think I'll be more confident
in that seat as well.

But it doesn't seem like
they'll be leaving anytime soon.

What should we do?

It's all right.

It's still a bit early,
so I'll try waiting.

-Excuse me, sir.
-Yes?

We just sampled a new roast recently,

and we were testing it out to see
how it pairs with our desserts.

So?

We were wondering if you could taste it
and give us some feedback?

-Sure, sounds good.
-Sure. Great.

-It's free, right?
-Of course.

But we were hoping
to conduct it at the bar.

Oh, that's fine.

Still quite rough around the edges.
Feasibility is unknown.

I see. I think that as well.

But it's quite tempting.

If the direction is right,
we can figure out another way.

I look forward to working with you.

Thank you. Yes, thank you so much.

-What do you think?
-It's tasty.

-They go well together.
-Right?

-Shall we end the meeting here?
-Sure.

-Thank you for the delicious coffee.
-Thank you.

You'll be losing a regular
when Mr. Park finds an office.

-You must be disappointed.
-Not at all. We're thankful.

I probably made things difficult for you.
Thank you for everything.

You made me realize that
this was another Elephant House.

-I should be thanking you.
-Elephant House?

You should stop by
when you need a break from now on.

Sounds like a plan.

-And do you have a business card?
-Yes. Here you go.

We were thinking about changing roasts
because ours isn't that great.

Someone from our general affairs team
should be in touch soon.

Thank you.

Take care.

Thank you.

Come again.

Did we just secure a supply deal?

I guess.

It's not my day today.

Every place I go, they're out of coffee.
I just keep getting useless phone calls.

SEO YEONG-HUN

Hey.

I'll take it in this today.
I'll disappear.

It's just…

What the… How could you come here?

I wasn't going to mention this.

But are you even taking care of Hye-ji

while writing that column
that makes no money?

He stopped by again?

Hye-ji.

I'm sorry.
