I surely can't say anything that hasn't been before about it, but this book was a joy from the very start. It's the type of story that makes me want to relax and enjoy life. I adored the way we got to follow Viv and meet everyone that she did along the way. All of the little details (like the individual illustrations at the start of each chapter) added up to make it so immersive and cozy — at every description I felt like I was there, enjoying the atmosphere and warmth, smelling the coffee and pastries. I loved how we got to see the additions to the menu, showing both the passage of time and growth of the cafe ♡
But along with being a feel-good read, there was still genuine development and a lot of great lines about cherishing the little things in life and the people around you ♡ I needed this book in my life and can't stop recommending it to my friends

Cozy, warm, lighthearted. Definitely a mix between LOTR and Studio Ghibli. A nice warm hug.

Cosy slice-of-life fantasy featuring a world-weary orc, a coffee shop, and found family. Really cute and fluffy with a tiny hint of romance.

I loved this so much!? It had all the fantasy but just such cozy and slow vibes and it was perfect. Would love more standalones like this when I want an easy fantasy read! (Did I almost call this a one-shot instead of standalone? Maybe. 😅)
