Before the Coffee Gets Cold reads like a series of interconnected Japanese fables about a time traveling cafe.
They are lessons on love, regret and grief but with an ultimately hopeful outlook - though the writing style is so simple and often repeats itself that It kept me at arms length from truly connecting with the characters.
