**Big Coffee** is a major coffee café franchise of *Big City Greens*. It first appeared in "Space Chicken".

One of its locations was the former café next door to the Greens' house which served as Gloria Sato's place of work (later joined by Cricket after "Critterball Crisis") and the hangout area for the two, the Greens and other characters. It was shut down and taken over by Chip in "Chipwrecked", and later on destroyed in "Chipocalypse Now", but eventually rebuilt and put up for rent after the events of the abovementioned episode. The building it was on was the brief home of a Burger Clown ("Fast Foodie"). It was reopened as the Gloria + Green Café in Season 2 as of "Gloria's Café".

## Overview

It was a café. Everyone went there to eat any types of food or drink that they serve there, just over the fence to the Greens' house.

As mentioned above, it was next door to the Green's House, where most of the mischievous incidents would occur with Cricket Green and his family.

The only known person who worked there is the café barista Gloria, who’s mostly annoyed of the Green family, especially Cricket, who can cause some disruption to the customers. However, in "Critterball Crisis", Cricket starts working at the café due to destroying the place with the farm animals in addition to the Critterball war, and he and Gloria soon become co-workers, and friends. Tilly was known to work there on two occasions, substituting for Cricket.

Parade Day marks a rather big day for the café, as said holiday is also the busiest day of the year. This is due to multiple citygoers and tourists coming to see the parade having to stock up on refreshments.

As of "Level Up", the Green family farm has expanded onto its rooftops, under the condition that half the profits go to Ms. Cho. Following the café's destruction in "Chipocalypse Now", the roof garden was closed.

## Destruction

In "Chipwrecked", where Chip Whistler plans to get Cricket jobless by driving the next door Big Coffee out of business, and Cricket, no longer taking Chip seriously, completely doubts of it. At the same time, Cricket hosts a "Bring Your Family To Work Day" and invites his family (minus Nancy) to work with him, but in reality, this is just a hoax to get them to do his job for him, which they eventually find out. Due to Chip's Wholesome Foods expansion plan, new goons, and devious thinking to get right past Cricket and swindle Ms. Cho over to his side, his plan has worked, Cricket and Gloria are fired, and Big Coffee is shut down.

Continuing in "Chipocalypse Now", Big Coffee was demolished, along with the Elkins Apartment and the rooftop garden on top, as part of the expansion plan to build a new Mega-Store in its place over the Greens' house, with the house itself to be demolished and replaced with a parking lot. Gloria ends up getting a job at the store in an attempt to make money but betraying the Greens in the process. However, she decides against it when Cricket reminds her of how much he's done for her, and gets herself fired by attempting to fend off one of Chip's goons.

Cricket manages to find proof that the destruction petition is fake, but quickly loses it; however, all of Big City citizens stands up for the Greens and want them to stay in Big City. Mayor Hansock, who was on the scene, is touched by their words and calls off the demolition and orders Elkins Street to go back to normal, and permanently bans Chip from Big City, who after one last failed attempt to take down the Greens, is slung far away.

The battle over, Big Coffee and the apartment complex were restored, but remains closed and is put up for rent. Gloria also ends up moving in with the Greens having been evicted from her apartment due to having no more money to pay her rent and after losing her job.

## Known branches

* The main store was right next door to the Green house; following Chip's takeover, the café was destroyed, but rebuilt and left vacant. It was temporarily replaced by Burger Clown in "Fast Foodie" and is replaced permanently with the Gloria + Green Café starting from "Gloria's Café" onward.
* Another Big Coffee outlet appears somewhere else in the city, as seen in "Welcome Home".
* A third Big Coffee outlet can be seen in "Gabriella's Fella".
* A fourth Big Coffee outlet can be seen at "Times Circle".
* A fifth Big Coffee outlet can be seen at "No Service".

## Trivia

* The café was originally known as Café Urbana back when the show was known as *Country Club*.
* In "Welcome Home", there’s another location with the same name, but it’s not near or close to the one that is next door to the Greens house, rather than seen uphill where the Greens were on. A different Big Coffee also appears in "Gabriella's Fella" and "No Service" The latter means that the franchise is still operational.
* The building was used as a level for the Big City Battle! video game, as only the inside of the place. However, Gloria is absent.
* Big Coffee may be a possible reference to the popular coffee stores Starbucks, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, and Costa.
* It is revealed in "Paint Misbehavin'" that all the prices for the food brought end in 9.
	+ However, the muffins sold in "Skunked" cost $1.8**5**.
* Cricket is rarely seen working at Big Coffee in Season 2 prior to its destruction and shut-down.
* The roof is almost never seen, especially since the Greens started a rooftop garden there as of "Level Up" (especially after it was destroyed in "Chipocalypse Now").
* Contrary to Cricket's claims, the café doesn't have a Bring Your Family To Work Day.
* With Chip Whistler currently banned from Big City and Ms. Cho in retirement, it is unknown who currently owns it, or of its fate following "Chipocalypse Now".
* An unrelated coffee shop, titled "Big City café", appears in "Mama Bird".
* In a surprising case of book-ends, the first ten of Season 1 end with Cricket getting a job at Big Coffee, and the last episode before the final ten of Season 2 end with Cricket getting fired.
* Cricket, Tilly and Remy were the first characters to be seen inside Big Coffee, while Chip Whistler and the Wholesome Squad were the last.
