What happened on the show
The takeover reached Café Treats, a café in Sherman Oaks, California, for this season five episode, one more of the show's non salon subjects. The takeover method carried over to the café setting: Coffey embeds in the business, delivers her blunt assessments, restructures the staff, and stages a renovation reveal. Because no synopsis survives for this installment, we do not reconstruct the specific incidents. The documented facts are the format, the season's reach beyond salons, and the setting, a café on Riverside Drive in Sherman Oaks taken through the overnight process. Coffey's premise held off the salon floor, that a struggling business reflects its leadership, and that an honest reset was the goal of the visit. The show's argument held behind a counter too, that a business mirrors whoever happens to be running it.
After the cameras left
Café Treats has been renamed. A business called Café de Mexico now operates at the same Riverside Drive address in Sherman Oaks, listed on delivery platforms and a review site with a strong rating across scores of reviews, matching the note that Café Treats was renamed Café de Mexico during or after the episode. The delivery listings are a reasonable liveness signal but were not independently re confirmed, so we hold the rename at moderate confidence.
