New $14 Coffee Shop Requires Resume, Headshot, and Soul for Entry

Coffee, but they make it competitive.

LOS ANGELES — A new Silver Lake coffee shop named “Brewmé” is causing a stir with its unique entry requirements: a curated resume, two recent headshots, and one fragment of your eternal soul.

The menu features items like “Imposter Syndrome Espresso,” “Oat Milk Trauma Latte,” and “Cold Brew with Attachment Issues.”

Owner and creative director Huxley Z. Pillowman says the goal is to “curate a sacred caffeinated space for self-actualized micro-celebrities who meditate ironically.”

To even be considered for a cappuccino, patrons must pass a vibe check administered by a retired child star turned Reiki barista. The latte art? Your zodiac chart in foam.

What the Funny People Are Saying:

  • “Their loyalty card is just a mirror that says ‘Earn it.’” — Ron White
  • “I waited 40 minutes for coffee and left with a gluten-free breakdown.” — Jerry Seinfeld
  • “There’s a therapist booth in the bathroom. It costs more than the espresso.” — Amy Schumer

Brewmé has no chairs — just reclaimed tree stumps and silent judgment. Wi-Fi is only available in exchange for a haiku and proof of chakra alignment.

Mona Eltahawy was born in Seguin, Texas, a town where storytelling rides shotgun with barbecue smoke and politics is as local as the county fair. After graduating from a Texas private college, she carried her sharp voice to Washington, D.C., where she has become an unflinching satirist and cultural critic. Eltahawy’s writing dismantles power structures with biting wit and unapologetic candor, from the contradictions of U.S. politics to the hypocrisies of global leadership. Her essays have been featured in international media forums on democracy, and her commentary is studied in university courses on political satire and free expression. Known for pairing fierce critique with humor that disarms, she keeps her audience laughing while holding the powerful to account. From Seguin to the nation’s capital, Eltahawy proves satire is both a weapon and a balm in turbulent times.
