Black Coffee is a dessert Base Recipes that can be chosen in the Headquarters to start a run. Introduced in the Coffee Shop update, this is the first dessert base recipe.
Until the player acquires a Main, all customer groups will have a 100% order chance of desserts, instead from the 25% chance, and all starters & side cards are unable to appear as options to be selected.
Coffee and its variants also affects the customer's 
eating time. Depending on which dessert is given to the customers, the eating duration will increase by a certain amount. If a group is given different desserts with differen eating time modifiers, then the dessert with the largest modifier will take effect. This eating time modifier does not stack with other food sources like Cakes, but will stack multiplicatively from different non-food sources like 
Leisurely Eating or Sharp Cutlery.
