Before The Coffee Gets Cold – Toshikazu Kawaguchi

About The Book

What would you change if you could go back in 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. – Goodreads

My Review: Interesting Read

DIsclaimer: I hate time-travelling books. I resisted reading this for a long time mainly because of that, but it was a quick and easy read. There are four protagonists, but the story I loved the most was the wife whose husband was suffering from Alzheimer’s – tragic and touching :’)

Favourite Quotes

At the end of the day, whether one returns to the past or travels to the future, the present doesn’t change.

Why You Should Read It

It’s an okay novel to pass time with, but I feel like this book would work much better as a theatre play.
