This was the sweetest book that I've read in ages! I found myself smiling at little things in almost every chapter. If you need something cozy, relaxing and happy, this is your book.

Come right in to Legends and Lattes! Learn what coffee is, have a tasty treat baked by the best baker in town, and settle in for a while. Who knows what friends you might make or interesting things you might see?

Delightfully peaceful without ever being boring. Wonderfully full characters that will have you wishing for more time with them by the time the book is through.

A charming, lighthearted story of an orc settling in to life after adventure. Perfect if you’re looking for something calm and cozy to enjoy, especially if you’re a fan of coffee shop AUs and found family.

This is by far the best book in the cosy fantasy genre. I flew through this in a day. I really loved the characters and worldbuilding. I wouldn’t have expected a low stakes fantasy book to have worldbuilding but it’s clear that a fair amount attention was paid to that aspect. I think the pacing was great as well. This is such a great debut and I can’t wait to see what Baldree writes next.

This wonderfully unique slice of life story set in a high fantasy world is a quick and perfectly cosy read. If you’ve been eyeing it and haven’t picked it up yet I couldn’t recommend it more for this time of year. The story follows an orc who sets out to run a coffee shop upon retiring from years of adventuring and bounty hunting and there has never been anything that has made me want to drink coffee so bad! Travis Baldree has truly worked some magic with this book as I’m someone who hates coffee 😅

The writing and pacing has a calmness to it that immediately immerses you in. The primary plot does have its moments of tension but is mostly low stakes and with a group of heart-warming characters at its core, a fascinatingly expansive wider world to discover and lots of mouth-watering baked treats to crave this book is nothing short of wholesome!
Final Rating – 4/5 Stars
