Apply a thick stroke to the path in the Stroke panel. Using the Pencil Tool (N) I drew a swooping line from the letter “T” that moves to the left and stops below the “R”. I think the word “Roast” needs a flourish. Expand your text to outlines under Object, and then Ungroup your text. I chose “Italian Roast”, as it’s the name of a type of coffee, and I find this text effect goes well with all things coffee, packaging, and cafe related. Write out your text or title with the Type Tool (T).

In this case, I chose Lobster 2, but also recommend Lobster, ChunkFive, or Birra.
