A lovely cozy fantasy! The characters were sweet. I loved reading the descriptions of the coffee and sweets. Found family. Note: the lesbian romance is very incidental and really only pops up in the end, so don’t read it for the romance. Read it for the friendship :)

This book is as cozy as a hot latte on a chilly autumn morning, but also just as filling. Enjoy the wish fulfillment fantasy of being able to own your own small business and creating a sense of place and community that feel impossible in today's world. I enjoyed it. A wonderful little slice of life with subtle romance and found family. If you're into D&D and had lofi chill study beats on your Spotify wrapped at some point between 2022-2024 you'll definitely like this book. Just don't expect to walk away with your world views or personality fundamentally changed. I would say this a great easy read between bigger / heavier stories. No shade.
