Rosé had dreams of being a writer in New York City, but when faced with constant rejection and a limited income, she starts to lose all hope. When she embarrassingly reconnects with Joshua, her one sided love from high school, who also happens to work at the coffee shop down the street, life starts to take a caffeinated turn. Through overcoming her past, making her dreams a reality, and learning to accept love, Rosé looks through the life of a broke barista. As her manager always says, "life can be bitter like espresso or sweet like hot cocoa."
