Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
5.0
Before the Coffee Gets Cold is one of those books I knew I was going to love instantly. It’s been on my radar for a hot minute so really excited I finally got around to reading this!!
I don’t know if this would count as a “cozy fantasy” book but that’s exactly the vibe for me. Just a very delightful book to read. Very simple yet captivating premise. Each of the chapters is episodic, centering on one relationship/one regular in this cafe, and I feel this is the best way to read this: one chapter at a time with your special beverage of choice. As you learn more about the people and baristas in this cafe with each chapter, I did figure out how this was going to end and it was both so emotional and so satisfying seeing everything come together 🤧
Can’t wait to visit Funiculi Funicula again in the sequels (and to see if they’ll also make me cry 😅)
