Description

What would you change if you could travel back in time?

In a small alley in Tokyo, there is a café that has been serving well-brewed coffee for over a hundred years. However, this establishment offers a unique experience to its customers – the opportunity to travel back in time.

Four people visit the café, each hoping to make the most of their time travel to talk with a distant lover, to receive a letter from a husband who has lost his memory, to see a sister for the last time, and to meet a daughter they never had the chance to know. But traveling to the past carries risks: customers must sit in a specific chair, they cannot leave the café, and, most importantly, they must return to the present before their coffee gets cold...

The sweet, touching story by Toshikazu Kawaguchi explores the eternal question: What would you change if you could travel to the past? And most importantly, who would you like to meet, perhaps for one last time?

“Moving, eccentric, and nostalgic.” –Huffpost

“This story is a treasure. Before the Coffee Gets Cold is perfect for anyone who wants to feel closeness and understanding.” –BookReporter

“A touching, deeply captivating journey into the desire to hold on to the past. This stunning story will resonate with readers.” –Publishers Weekly

Reviews by our members

  • In all the reviews of his book, a psychological dimension is attributed to it that I did not find in its pages. The psychographic analysis is minimal and explicitly stated without subtlety. The writing is very simplistic, it does not stand out for anything, it does not captivate to the point of even making you single out some of its lines. It is true that it is read easily and quickly. Average.

  • Nice book, easy to read, it touches emotion and the human psyche on a primal level.
    The writing style is very simple, it gives meaning without being exciting.

    It is pleasantly readable, interesting, conveys beautiful messages, but in my opinion, it is not as exciting as it appears in the reviews.
