Espresso bar

An espresso bar is an object that allows Sims to buy espresso on a community lot, thereby gaining some Energy.

Espresso bars were introduced in The Sims: Unleashed, with Travelin' Joe's Espresso Bar. When placed on a community lot, it would allow Sims to buy a cup of espresso for §12, and would spawn one of three NPC baristas; Travelin' Griff, Travelin' Greg, or Travelin' Joe. When used on an Old Town lot, it would also spawn the wandering saxophone player W.C. Friendly.

In The Sims 2: University, the espresso bar was re-introduced as the Impresso Espress-o-Matic. In addition to being able to buy espresso (for §20), a Sim could make a few simoleons by working at the bar as a barista. There is also an espresso bar in The Sims 2: Apartment Life.
