The million-copy bestselling series about a small Japanese cafe that offers its visitors the chance to travel back in time.
Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s moving Before the Coffee Gets Cold, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?
In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a cafe which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time.
In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the cafe’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by Alzheimer's, see their sister one last time, and meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.
But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the cafe, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .
Continue the beautiful storytelling with Tales from the Cafe, Before Your Memory Fades, and Before We Say Goodbye.

I loved the concept of this book but for some reason, despite it being rather short, it felt repetitive and like it just dragged on and on. I wanted to like it more than I did.

4/5! it was such a nice book to read as the last of 2022! this was a 4 star read for me. the stories were gripping me on every page, i certainly enjoyed it and think the messages behind them are impactful to me. sometimes the writing threw me off guard and made it hard to follow the lines, but that would later be compensated with so many beautiful quotes. i really felt like i was a visitor of this time- travelling cafe and the lives they lived in. i recommend picking up this book, but please do check the trigger warnings as it contains heavy subjects. wishing your happy, safe reading and lots of happiness in 2023! ❤️

Mooi concept. Ik kreeg wel een beetje het idee dat de schrijver een wat conservatieve kijk op vrouwen & ‘het gezin’ heeft, hierdoor kon ik me minder goed in het verhaal verplaatsen

Yup dit is echt een origineel boek! Ik vond het wel moeilijk om de namen van de personages te onthouden 😅
