EP.02 ONE STOP ONE CAFE : The Optimist Coffee

我们猜这大概是每个通勤族的日常缩写：在拥挤的人潮中穿梭，感受着早晚高峰的紧凑节奏，在一声声的“哔”声中进出闸机……而在这样的奔波中，你最需要的，或许只是一杯能让你松口气、提提神的咖啡。

这时候，你就可以到 @optimistcoffee 买杯咖啡啦。在这里，你得到的不仅是支撑你度过打工人清晨、或是抚平下班后一身疲惫的咖啡因，更有一份额外的温暖。

因为自 2014 年以来，他们便坚持在每一个杯盖上亲手写下一句充满正能量的暖心鼓励。

他们的最新分店就开在 Bangsar LRT 站内。下次进站前，顺手带上一杯，给接下来的路提提神、打打气吧！

“It was possible to be hanging out and having a good time without feeling the pressure to become something more. It’s the company and how we feel towards each other. Friendship could be as simple as this.”

“等一个人的咖啡” by @giddens9 was one of the novels, along with Taiwanese ballads and pop music, that helped me learn Mandarin back in the 2000s. So imagine those days when amazing C-pop and C-dramas were everywhere.

Fast forward to 2026, the novel has been translated into English by @2eightytwo, and I just had to grab a copy to relive that memorable first experience I had reading the original.

Si-ying works at Café. Waiting. Love., where she falls in love at first sight with the handsome Tse-yu, aka Mr Kenyan Coffee. She befriends the quirky and earnest Ah Tuo, who takes her on adventures and introduces her to an interesting mix of people. Throughout her final year of high school and early university years, Si-ying learns more about herself as her feelings towards Tse-yu and Ah Tuo become increasingly complicated.

I vividly remembered some of the scenes as they came back to life in the English version. Shanna’s translation keeps Giddens Ko’s lyrical writing style, particularly in how the characters express their thoughts about life and love. First published in 2004 and set in the early 2000s, the novel carries that classic “puppy love” crush, friendship, cheesy lines, cute love gestures and feel-good slice-of-life moments, especially as Si-ying juggles her studies, exams and part-time work at the cafe.

I chuckled along with the quirky side characters, like Abusi being gung-ho about making weird drink orders while having such a nonchalant personality, Si-ying’s boss with her chilled-out attitude and longing to be with someone after a past relationship, and triad boss Bao Ge being completely obsessed with films. Their personalities add to the charm of the story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Anything related to coffee is described through the senses, with details about where the beans come from and how certain personalities are reflected in their coffee orders.
