The Baristas are minor characters mentioned in a liquid friend feed event and a blaseball beat issue. They are presumed to reside in The Vault.
Liquid Friend redacted messages
The first mention of the baristas is in several redacted messages added to liquid friends feed after they were returned to the vault by the coin in season 20.
Liquid Friend was returned to the Vault.
Liquid Friend was Taken.
Liquid Friend was Unscrambled (Scrambled -> hardboiled)
Liquid Friend's Soul was Decocted by the Baristas.
Liquid Friend's Soul was Served.
Liquid Friend's Soul was Placed on the Bar.
These events correlated with Liquid Friend having their hardboiled status restored and losing part of their soulscream. Friend had their hardboiled mod replaced with the scrambled mod after returning from redaction some time during season 16, around day 48.
Blaseball beat season 23
In the issue of the beat following the un-redaction of those feed events, the season 23 issue, this section discussing the events was included:
FISHIN' THE PERCOLATOR* Amatuer sleuths found something fishy in the Feed of Hardboiled Legend Liquid Friend. Unredacted Events seem to suggest that mysterious entities known as the Baristas may actually be the ones behind recent Player Disappearances. Liquid’s soul appears to have been Percolated* and served on the Bar to as-yet-to-be-revealed patrons, all before the Scrambled investigator was pumped full of Stars and put back into play, in some sort of catch and release. But who are the Baristas? How long have they been taking our Players? Are they still here, lurking just out of sight?
Conflicting accounts
The feed and beat create two separate accounts of these events. In the events recorded by the feed and Before, Friend was scrambled sometime in season 16 then later returned to the vault and decocted by the baristas and had their soul served in season 20, before the messages were unredacted by fans in season 23.
In the beat's account of events, the baristas were responsible for the initial redaction of friend and other players. It says that Friend had their soul decocted and was scrambled and made an attractor ('pumped full of stars') before being sent back in to play in season 16, and then much later being unscrambled when returned to the vault in season 20.
