I'm addicted to this show because it is so bad! It plays on a Christian channel 'Wonderful' here in the UK and I only looked it up because of the title. This show reminds me of a real-life version of "Acorn Antiques" - the hilarious spoof soap opera sketch written by Victoria Wood - ironically based on UK soap "Crossroads" which was famed for it's bad acting/ scripts & sets.
The acting, scripts & plots in "Crossroads Cafe" are so weak & the humour so tame it's unbelievable this programme made it to transmission - and is far far worse than the much maligned "Crossroads".
And the fact that anyone can compare it to "Friends" is far funnier than the programme itself.
