Before the coffee gets cold

What would you change if you could travel back in time? In a small alley in Tokyo, there is a cafe that has been serving well-brewed coffee for over a hundred years. But this shop offers a unique experience to its customers – the opportunity to travel back in time. Four people visit the cafe, each hoping to take advantage of time travel to chat with the long-gone lover, receive the letter from the amnesiac husband, see the sister one last time, and meet the daughter he never had the chance to meet. But traveling to the past comes with risks: Customers have to sit in a specific chair, it doesn't make them leave the cafe, and finally, most importantly, they have to return to the present before the coffee gets cold... The sweet, heartwarming story of Toshikazu Kawaguchi explores the eternal question: What would you change if you could travel back in time? And most of all, who would you like to meet, maybe one last time? "Motivating, whimsical and nostalgic." –Huffpost “This story is a treasure. Before the coffee gets cold is ideal for anyone who wants to feel closeness and understanding." –BookReporter “A moving, deeply moving journey into the desire to hold on to the past. This amazing story will touch readers." –Publishers Weekly
