歐博思 Posted August 16, 2019 at 01:40 PM Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 at 01:40 PM It's probably like 889 said, but there's also a chance it's a jab at a place with recent food scandals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
李爱 Posted August 16, 2019 at 02:19 PM Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 at 02:19 PM The thing is that it's actually talking about a coffee shop for dead people, so could it a translated to They say the coffee is very delicious it's even prefered by the dead Something like that?

Still not that literal despite your context I'd say, it's just an extra play on words. I'd go with, "The coffee here is to die for." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
