Let’s discuss “Before the Coffee Gets Cold” by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

“Before the Coffee Gets Cold” is a bestselling Japanese novel about a café where you can time travel—if you follow the rules and finish your coffee before it gets cold. Four visitors take the leap, hoping for second chances in love, loss, and life. It’s quirky, tender, and full of heart. Based on an award-winning play, it’s become a global book club favorite.

“Heartwarming, whimsical… offering comfort at a time when the world seems off‑kilter and chaotic.”
—NY Times
