Synopsis
Synopsis: Isaac is a self-proclaimed muffin-loving disaster, trying to navigate his overly dramatic life as a writer and best friend to the snarky, chaos-inciting Noah. Everything seems to be going relatively smoothly in their routine—until the mysterious, impossibly charming Micah Alvarez walks into their favorite coffee shop, Café Marigold, and completely disrupts Isaac’s already precarious world. Micah, a regular with an easy confidence and a knack for teasing, immediately catches Isaac off guard with his effortless charm and cryptic comments. As Isaac tries to make sense of his growing attraction, Noah’s relentless teasing only makes things worse. To complicate matters further, Adrian, the new owner of Café Marigold, is also figuring out how to run a business and navigate the awkward dynamic between him and his regular customers—especially the ones who leave passive-aggressive coffee critiques (looking at you, Noah). As Isaac fumbles through his growing feelings for Micah and tries to avoid the embarrassment of his own affection, he’ll have to survive not just coffee disasters and friendly banter, but the slow burn of a romance that might just change everything. With plenty of laughs, coffee-filled chaos, and moments of heart, Isaac’s journey might just be the unexpected love story he didn’t know he needed.
