Each of the 150+ cards is sketched, inked, and colored by hand. Every character, every detail is crafted with care by artists who love what they do.
Small Team, Big Heart
Our artists are a tight-knit crew who pour the same passion into every card as our baristas pour into every cup. Quality over quantity, always.
Inspired by Real Life
Every card character is based on real people and real moments from Coffee N' Comics. The art captures the soul of the shop and the community around it.

HOW TO PLAY
Easy to learn, impossible to master. Here's how a round of Barista Brawl goes down.
Assemble Your Crew
Each player picks a Barista card and builds a 36-card deck with equipment, inventory, and action cards. Choose your strategy: Hustle, Sass, or raw Grit.
Customers Arrive
The companion app sends waves of increasingly difficult customers to your shop. Each one has unique demands and a patience timer, so serve them or suffer the consequences.
Brew & Battle
Play cards from your hand to combine coffee, food, and merch. Coordinate with teammates to serve customers before they cause chaos. Use action cards for clutch saves.
Survive the Rush
Make it through all the customer waves without your shop crashing. Win together or lose together. That's the Barista Brawl way.

GOT QUESTIONS?
Everything you need to know about Barista Brawl.
Barista Brawl is a 2-player cooperative trading card game set in the world of coffee shops. You and a teammate work together as baristas, surviving waves of difficult customers run by a free companion app that acts as your game master. You win together or lose together.
No, and that's the point. Barista Brawl is fully cooperative: you and your teammate survive waves of customers together, and you win or lose together. If you love card games but hate turning your friends into enemies, this is the one for you.
Two. Barista Brawl is a 2-player co-op: each player runs their own 36-card Starter Deck, and together you survive the shift. The Combo Pack includes both Starter Decks plus 6 booster packs, everything you need to play night one.
The app runs the customers and the store, and yes, it's required, but you've got options. Download it free on your phone, or just pull it up in any web browser with nothing to install. It also has a full offline mode: once it's on your device, no internet connection is needed. Your game night doesn't depend on the coffee shop wifi.
Boosters are randomized, 13 cards per pack from the 150-card first set, and every Booster Box (36 packs) guarantees at least one Hyper-Foil. Chasing the full set? A Booster Box is the fastest way there.
Yes. Beyond the base cards, the set includes Legendary cards, Foil cards, and ultra-rare Hyper-Foil cards to chase. Many feature real Coffee N' Comics staff as playable characters.
We ship worldwide. Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your country, so you pay the real cost for your region, not a global average. Any customs or VAT charges on delivery are set by your country and aren't included in your order total.
That's the plan. As Barista Brawl grows, you'll nominate baristas from your favorite local shops, the community votes, and winners are immortalized as cards in future sets. Head to the Nominate page to put a name forward.
Yes. We work directly with coffee shops and game stores on wholesale orders, and retailers get the right to nominate one of their baristas for a future set. Your barista, immortalized. Message us on Instagram to get started.
Barista Brawl is rated 14+. The mechanics are learnable younger, but the humor is written for people who've survived a real shift.
No. Every illustration in Barista Brawl was hand-drawn by our artists, starting from sketches and built up through linework, color, and shading. None of the card art was generated from prompts or AI image generators. We've shared sketch-to-final progressions showing exactly how the artwork was made, which you can see on our Art Process page.
