✦ -Personality- ✦
Likes:
Coffee Meringue is a mare of few interests, but unlike many ponies in Equestria, she loves her job and has a great passion of pleasing other ponies with her brew because she is extremely confident in what she does.
Living in a city, she found it really fitting to own pigeons as pets, and likes to tend to them when she coffee shop is closed. Due to not having many friends due to being busy with her work, she finds comfort taking care of her birds to distract herself from her somewhat "city"-loneliness. The city is harsh on the everyday, uninteresting pony.
Obviously her parents are on her top priority of likes as they were the reason why Coffee Meringue is the mare today, teaching her how to brew and how to serve, making other ponies satisfied with what she had to offer.
She also has a weird obsession with old antique clay figurines with empty sockets to place small candles in that she decorated her home with, often making it uneasy on her guests who come up to visit her privately. It's beyond anypony why she even likes them, asking her about it and she will reply by being unsure herself. If there's one pony who likes them the most it'd her mother.

Dislikes:
Coffee has been in the coffee industry her entire life, including being a waitress which makes her one of the best ponies that knows how to deal with customers of all personality traits. Her forced friendliness has made her more and more tired, so if comparing her to how she was ten years ago you would see an easy difference between her energy then and now, but she still loves to serve people. However, due to this, she has slowly grown a slight dislike towards most ponies and refrains from being active in social interactions outside of work, which is why she tends to her pigeons instead.
Growing up with bitter drinks like coffee and tea, she hates any beverage that's sweet, and though she remains silent about it she gets easily offended when customers and especially house guests waits for the served drink to get cooler or ask for sugar or cream.
As much as she hates it and is completely aware of having to do it, she dreads the thought of having to hire people as the coffee shop was a family, and family only tradition. But she knows for a fact she would have to find a mentee to one day mentor to keep the 150 year old business going.
Motivation:
She has one and one only motivation which is to keep her coffee shop running until she can find a perfect mentee to take over once she retired, but she personally dreads for that to happen.

Strengths:
Due to her growing up in an independent family business, she herself as a mare has grown to have that trait herself, especially after the passing of her father and retirement of her elderly mother.
Also due to her being in the coffee/serving/bar industry she is good with ponies, having no problem remembering the usual orders to regulars.
She's generally a calm and reserved making which is a good trait for a pony in her occupation, making ponies that she serves easily comfortable in her shop/café environment.

Weaknesses/Flaws:
Her strengths could easily be considered weaknesses and flaws, and we'll elaborate on why.
Firstly: Due to her claimed independence she's a refusal mare when it comes for asking for help or hiring, making her job much more harder than what is had to be.
Due to her calm and reserved personality, ponies can sometimes consider is rude, making her to have more and more anti-social behaviors outside her job after being tired of the exact misconception of how she is.
Those factors makes it also hard for her to relate to ponies, especially ones at her age, making finding for example, a romantic partner difficult.

Fears:
She doesn't have much to lose except her coffee shop which is her bread and butter, and not to mention lifestyle. She hates the thought of having to be a disappointment to her family, because if the coffee shop shuts down, then she's has all the blame in the world for ruining a 150 year old business and family tradition.

Overall Persona:
Coffee Merengue is a mare who works in her coffee shop “The black stallion’s coffee bar” which has been owned by her family for many generations before, located in the center of Manehatten.
She is a quiet, reserved and calm, making it easy for other ponies to mistake her for having anti-social behavior, though she personally finds that to be a misconception of her character, as she has just become tired due to how many years she has been working (since childhood) and how many cups she drinks on a daily basis, making her eyes appear baggy, tired and restless.
She loves spending her private time taking care of her three pet pigeons which keeps her company since being a single mare in a large city filled with equally as bitter ponies as her if not more gets her lonely, though she refuses this idea, claiming her lack of friends is just because of her job being her priority.
Though this is partly true, it is mostly because she finds it difficult to engage with other ponies since she has a hard time relating to ponies outside her family. This has been harder especially after she was left alone to tend the shop.
Despite her personality growing bleaker and bleaker she still tries her best to follow her family’s standards of making her costumers pleased with the service. Growing up, she was for the most part isolated from other fillies except for school because she was helping out with the shop a long with her parents.
Today she is determined to keep the business up, willing to do anything to achieve that.
