They're kana characters which represent syllables. So ら is "ra" when romanized, ロ is "ro" and so on.
Actually took me quite a while to figure out it's supposed to say "Soul of coffee", but it's probably easier to read the less you know about Japanese characters.
Yeah as someone who just started reading Japanese, reading "soul of coffee" was easy. But I don't even know all of these characters yet, I'm most of the way through hiragana, but haven't started any other character sets
I've been learning Japanese for 20 years or something and cannot see these characters as English. This is what they gave to The Borg to force them to cut their shit no?

These fonts have always been an affront to god. Same as the ones that use cyrilic letters.

I don't know a lick of japanese. I assume you translated the symbols they abused for english letters?

Took me far too long to realize what it's supposed to say.

stop using our writing willy nilly because it looks cool, it's physically painful to read it

Seems like a safe bet
I don't know enough about coffee to know what espresso on top of cream would be. I just assume it's some kind of iced latte
