Pavolia Reine Opens Her Own Café in Her First Coffee Talk Tokyo Stream

The hololive Indonesia streamer, who had only watched earlier games in the series, ran the counter for more than two hours before a meeting ended the night.

Pavolia Reine of hololive Indonesia’s second generation (holoro) spent Thursday evening behind the counter of Coffee Talk Tokyo, playing the series for the first time. She told viewers she had watched gameplay of the earlier Coffee Talk games but had never actually touched one, and that she picked this newest installment because she wanted a fairly short, chill game to stream. She said she had bought the game and a patch for it.

She opened by greeting chat as the barista of a small Tokyo café, then worked through the game’s opening: choosing a name for the barista, which she entered as Rainy, and listening to the narration about Tokyo in 2026, where humans, yokai and spirits share the city. She called the soundtrack “very chill” and said that was part of why she chose it.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” — Pavolia Reine, on streaming gear the maker no longer supports

As she learned to brew, she stopped to talk through what customers raised. When a character mentioned equipment that its maker no longer supports, she said her own capture card and GoXLR audio interface, bought when she started streaming, are in the same position, and that she would rather spend money on what she needs than upgrade gear that still works. A customer’s declined payment card led her to describe her own trouble with online purchases and a card that was blocked while she tried to back a Kickstarter campaign.

Drink orders kept her busy. She served a warm hojicha, a soy hot chocolate with honey and a royal milk tea, and for a matcha mango latte she made ghost-shaped latte art, saying sorry that it was ugly. Chat called it a Halloween-themed latte. Later in the story a character asked for an Indonesian drink, and she made it, getting through the Vienna coffee recipe with the help of notes she took on the earlier orders.

She stopped around the two-hour mark, in the middle of the story, saying she wished she could play to the end of the in-game day but had a meeting to get to and wanted to eat first. She called it a fun, chill game, thanked a viewer for a Super Chat, and said she would stream again the next day around the same time or a little later, with details to come.
