Before the Coffee Gets Cold: A Heartwarming Fantasy Novel ❣️
“In a quiet Tokyo café, time bends—if you dare to face the past before your coffee cools. A global bestseller that wraps your heart in warmth, one page at a time.”
🌟 Why This Book Is More Than Just a Novel—It’s a Comfort
Nestled in the back alleys of Tokyo, there’s a café like no other. Its wooden tables wear the patina of years, the air smells of roasted beans and memory, and in the corner, a single seat holds a secret: whoever sits there can travel back in time. But there are rules—strict, unforgiving ones. You can only meet someone who has visited the café before. You cannot change the present. And above all, you must return to the now before your coffee turns cold.
This is the world of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s Before the Coffee Gets Cold—a masterful blend of gentle fantasy and raw human emotion that has captivated 5+ million readers worldwide, been translated into 35 languages, and spawned a hit Japanese film adaptation. It’s not just a story about time travel; it’s a love letter to the regrets we carry, the words left unsaid, and the courage to cherish what we have before it’s gone.
📖 Dive Into Four Soul-Stirring Stories
Kawaguchi weaves four interconnected tales, each centered on the café’s magical seat—and the ordinary people who dare to use it:
- The Lover Who Waited
- The Wife’s Last Wish
- The Sister’s Apology
- The Café’s Guardian
Each story is a delicate balance of sorrow and hope, written with Kawaguchi’s signature softness—no dramatic twists, no flashy magic, just the quiet power of human connection. You’ll laugh through tears, ache with empathy, and finish each chapter feeling a little more alive.

FAQS
Is this the first book in a series, or a standalone novel?
Is this the first book in a series, or a standalone novel?
It’s the first book in Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s “Coffee” series! While it tells a complete, satisfying story on its own (with four self-contained tales tied to the café), there are follow-up books (e.g., Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Tales from the Café) that expand on the café’s world. You don’t need to read the sequels to enjoy this one—but you’ll likely want to after finishing!
Is the hardcover edition suitable for younger readers (e.g., teens)?
Is the hardcover edition suitable for younger readers (e.g., teens)?
The book is best suited for readers 16+. It deals with mature, emotional themes like grief, dementia, and lost love—topics that resonate more with older teens and adults. The tone is gentle (no graphic content), but the emotional depth may be too subtle for younger readers.
Does the time-travel element make the story confusing?
Does the time-travel element make the story confusing?
Not at all! The time-travel rules are simple and clearly explained (e.g., “You can only meet someone who visited the café before,” “You must return before your coffee cools”). Kawaguchi focuses on characters, not complex sci-fi logic—so the magic feels cozy, not confusing. Even readers who don’t love fantasy will enjoy it!
How long is the book? Can I finish it in a few days?
How long is the book? Can I finish it in a few days?
It’s 256 pages long, with short, engaging chapters. Most readers finish it in 2–3 days (even busy ones!). Each of the four stories takes about an hour to read, making it perfect for commutes, bedtime, or weekend cozy sessions.
