I recently finished reading Before the Coffee Gets Cold, and I can honestly say it left a deep impression on me. I really enjoyed the book, not just for its unique concept, but for how beautifully it explores love, loss, regret, and hope.
Set in a small Tokyo café where customers can travel back in time, the story intertwines the lives of people dealing with their own emotional struggles. Each character’s story tugged at my heartstrings in different ways, but what moved me most was the gentle reminder that while we cannot change the past, we can still find peace in understanding it.
I found myself teary-eyed more than once. The emotions felt so real, and the simplicity of the writing made it even more powerful. This book doesn’t rely on drama or twists—instead, it quietly invites you to reflect on your own relationships and the moments you may have taken for granted.
A beautiful, bittersweet read that stays with you long after you’ve closed the last page. Highly recommended for anyone who believes in the quiet magic of human connection.
What an emotional ride. I really enjoyed it from start to finish. The story was simple yet powerful, and the idea of a café that lets you travel back in time (with a few rules!) was so unique and heartwarming.
Each chapter made me reflect on love, loss, and the things we sometimes leave unsaid. I found myself teary-eyed more than once. It’s one of those quiet, moving reads that stays with you long after the last page.
Highly recommended if you want a book that touches your heart in the most unexpected ways.
