Before the Coffee Gets Cold: A Heartfelt Novel Exploring Regret, Redemption and Closure From a Magical Café

Enjoying this book. Easy read for a bit of down time. Would follow this author for more stories. Enjoy the lite humor.

I ordered this book after reading several reviews of how popular it was. It is a nice book with heart warming stories. It made me cry several times. Despite this, I couldn’t understand the hype about this book. It is OK and a good read, but not exceptional. The author is skillful in slowly developing the characters, but the fact that all is set within the confines of a small cafe takes away from the story for me. It is also culturally specific, which made it difficult for me to relate to it at times. The characters seem very restrained in their interactions. The reader is expected to understand a lot from the subtle cultural intricacies of the interactions between the characters, however, those cultural intricacies are from Japanese culture. Due to this, from a Western perspective some parts of the story appear odd.

I DNFed this book because I felt like the first half was enough of a story in and of itself. Once I got the gist, I didn't feel engaged enough to keep reading. However, if you're looking for a cute, lift and wholesome read with tear-jerker potential, this is the book for you.

A good book! Everyone has at least one moment where they would like a second chance at a conversation with someone. In "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" the characters can have that opportunity for a few minutes under certain conditions. The future can't be changed but understanding, catharsis or a different perspective can be the result. The "what if" quality of the plot is very appealing. This book is quietly thoughtful and can be read in one sitting. It contains 4 stories with overlapping characters. It's still on my mind a month later and I am reading the rest of the books in this series. I highly recommend this bittersweet novel.

This book has an interesting premise, the writing style is different, while still being very reader friendly, but I assume that is because it is a Japanese translation. I like the stories and how the each one relates to the other as the book progresses. All information is not presented at once and I enjoyed the gradual revealing of the characters and their lives. I like the novel and will be looking for others in the series to read.

The first couple pages of the book started off slow, but as I read on I definitely got more hooked! It was an easy read book, and the characters are beautifully written. They are simple, complex, and realistic all at once. Without spoiling much, the storyline of the husband and wife has to be my favorite and the way their story unfolded genuinely made me tear up. I did not expect that from such a short book with a cute and cozy cover. I will definitely be getting the other books related to this novel!

I guess the premise of this book well, I don't know what I want to give it away.But it's meh it doesn't draw you in

Four intertwined stories in this book. Each story involves 2 people who interact with each other in the setting of time travel. The concept of time travel is well-structured by certain rules that are repeated frequently throughout the book. The experiences revolve around regret, love, or redemption. Not my usual style of book to read, but I did enjoy it. Quick read, probably 4 hours or less, but one that I will be ponder for awhile.

Amazing!!!! I loved the book so much

Llegó precintado, la historia esta guay aunque yo lo compré por recomendación para mejorar mi inglés a la hora de leer que andaba algo lenta.

It’s a wonderful refreshing novel. I’m planning to read the other books in the series. If I had known it’s a great book, I would’ve gotten the set.

Very boring. I regret the purchase.

​I am officially OBSESSED! 😍 This book was a birthday gift to myself, and I can honestly say it’s the best present I’ve received. Before the Coffee Gets Cold has been my favorite series for a long time, but seeing it in this Sprayed Edge Edition? It’s a total game-changer. My first ever sprayed edge book and I am never going back! 😭🙌 ​If you haven’t read this series yet, you are missing out on a warm hug in book form. ☕ It’s set in a tiny, underground cafe in Tokyo where you can travel back in time—but only for as long as it takes for your coffee to get cold. 🕰️ It sounds simple, but the stories are so deeply moving, quiet, and filled with a gentle kind of wisdom that stays with you long after you close the cover. Why this edition is a MUST-HAVE: ​The Visuals: The sprayed edges are chef’s kiss! 🤌 It makes the book look like a piece of art on my shelf. I can’t stop staring at it! 📖✨ ​The Vibes: There is something so magical about reading these cozy, bittersweet stories from such a gorgeous physical book. It elevates the whole experience. 🕯️🌿 ​The Stories: Every time I revisit this cafe, I cry, I smile, and I feel a little more at peace. It’s the perfect "soul-healing" read. 🩹❤️ Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series like me or a newcomer, treat yourself to this edition! It’s whimsical, melancholic, and breathtakingly beautiful. ☕🍂 I’ll be treasuring this one forever. ​My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (I’d give it 10 stars if I could!)
