Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

2.5

This is a unique and whimsical tale centered around a quaint café where time travel is possible, but only for the brief duration of a cup of coffee. Many readers describe it as "healing fiction," offering gentle soul-searching and heartwarming narratives about love, loss, and reconciliation. While the concept was undeniably cute and the stories were crafted with care, I found it didn't quite resonate with me personally. If you’re someone who enjoys introspective and comforting reads, you might find a warm solace here. For me, it just didn’t hit the exact emotional note I was hoping for, but it certainly holds potential for those looking for a gentle, reflective escape.
