About this product

Product Information

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 early onset Alzheimer's, to see their sister one last time, and to 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 ... Toshikazu Kawaguchi's beautiful, moving story explores the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?

  • Before the coffee gets cold is sublime

    The author draws you in , then gives an interesting back story of each character, which supports the reason for wanting to time hop. Beautifully written - I devoured it in an afternoon and evening- I could not put it down - housework and food had to wait until I had finished it and then I felt sad I had finished it because it was soooo great

  • Worth a read.

    Content is interesting. Book not the promised ‘very good’ condition because it has coffee stains and pages with corners folded back.
