A girl scarred from love, afraid to give it a chance, meets a ‘break-up artist’ who finds pain to be the very essence of love. In Joyce’s small cafe on Wun Sha Street, we watch as daily tales of romance unfold. A ‘Coffee and Friends’ C&F membership means customers can get randomly paired with a fellow stranger, served with one of Joyce’s specialty brews catered to the occasion, a unique catalyst for sparks between the singles gathered at our local coffee shop.
