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.

There is this café, nothing fancy nor otherwise exceptional, where it is possible to travel in the past or the future. There are some rules though: you can meet only someone who has already been to the Café, you cannot change the present and you must drink that specially brewed cup of coffe before it gets cold. But if you cannot change things why would you go back in time? For these four characters the trip has been beneficial nevertheless. Touching, romantic but never to be taken for granted, this novel is a must read (or listen) while sipping on your coffee, just don't let it go cold!

Very nice idea, at times a bit slow and predictable to me. Heartbreaking and very sad, but at the same time makes sense and overall, I enjoyed passing time in this extraordinary caffe:)
