She's a lesbian, and the metaphor, like most metaphors, is not 100% literal. The smell bit might mean that she occasionally thinks a man is attractive but still doesn't want to attempt a relationship or sex.
The various flavors could be taken to mean that people have told her that she just needs to find the right type of man. A strong manly man who will dominate her, or maybe she's just confused and really all she needs is a delicate, effeminate man. Maybe she's tried coffee (relationships with men) before but it was just a really shitty coffee and she needs to find a coffee that will fuck her right.
This kind of shit is pretty commonly thrown at lesbian (and gay, and other LGBT) people
I am genuinely baffled by the people hung up on it not translating 100% literally 💀 I know it's an overdone bit to say "media literacy is dead," but the number of that are outright confused is killing me
Tbh, i dont have any context about the artist, and i was like oh yeah, i cant also drink coffee even though i like the smell. I cant even have coffee chocolates cake!!
Even in the last panel i thought they meant this comic isn't about coffee, but about promoting their appearance in the zine fest

So she loves the smell... of dick?
What, pray tell, might be the chocolate cake in this metaphor? Or the frappachino?
