Before the Coffee Gets Cold (Tales From the Cafe)

Description

The Million-Copy Bestselling Series

Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s Tales from the Café (translated by Geoffrey Trousselot) is a heartwarming, time-travel novel that explores the question: If you could go back in time, who would you meet one last time?

In a quiet back alley of Tokyo, Café Funiculi Funicula has served carefully brewed coffee for over a century. But this café offers something even more extraordinary—the chance to travel back in time.

From the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold comes four new emotionally charged stories:

• A man who visits his best friend, who passed away 22 years ago.
• A son who missed his mother’s funeral.
• A man who seeks the woman he never got to marry.
• A detective who regrets never giving his wife a special gift.

To take the journey, there are strict rules: you must sit in a specific seat, never leave the café, and return before your coffee gets cold.

This moving, beautifully written novel reminds us that while we can’t change the past, we can find closure and move forward.

Perfect for fans of emotional fiction, time-travel novels, and thought-provoking storytelling.
