Color Scheme
A mix of white and brown (barista uniform), olive green (pants), and yellow (undershirt/hands), reflecting a modern service-worker aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back. The apron design includes fine lines for the shirt collar and the smiling mug logo. The back torso contains continuing apron strap details.
Variants
The torso appears in several variations; one with dark brown hair (cty0744) and another version in a different set context. The figure in the image is missing its hairpiece (dark brown wavy hair).
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck stud and hand joints. The white torso is susceptible to discoloration if exposed to UV light over time. Check for 'play wear' scratches on the apron print.

Compatible Sets
Set 60153 (People Pack: Fun at the Beach) and Set 60233 (Donut Shop Opening - similar components).
Character Background
A standard civilian barista or coffee shop worker in the LEGO City environment. She represents the expansion of 'everyday hero' roles in the City theme during the late 2010s.
Design Notes
The apron print uses a 'smiling mug' which is a meta-reference to the standard LEGO smiley head. This torso was a popular 'civilian' part for MOC builders creating modern urban landscapes.
Similar Minifigures
Larry the Barista from The LEGO Movie (tlm006), various City Town figures with aprons, and CMF Series 24 Newspaper Kid for similar earth-tone leg colors.
Collectibility
Low to moderate collectibility. While not an investment piece, it is highly desired for builders making custom coffee shop scenes or 'Starbucks' style MOCs.
History
Released during the peak of the LEGO City 'People Pack' era, which focused on providing many varied minifigures in a single affordable set to populate dioramas.
Interesting Facts
The 'smiley mug' logo on her apron became a recurring brand icon for LEGO City coffee shops in subsequent years, appearing on tiles and signage.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for placement in a Modular Building display (like Assembly Square) or a beach-themed boardwalk diorama alongside other beach-goers.
Modification Potential
Huge potential; swapping the head and hair can turn her into any civilian worker. The olive green legs are useful for military or forest-themed custom figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed City worker. While not rare, it is a quintessential modern-era LEGO City figure that adds great realism to any town setup. Rating: 7/10 for utility, 3/10 for rarity.
