## Description

In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café 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 café’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 café, 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?

Review: A Beautiful Read! - For some it may be a slower book to grab you, but stick with it. The author spins a beautiful story with quite an array of complex characters who’s world converge in this subtle sepia colored cafe that holds the key to their heart changing once in a life time experience, as long as they can follow the rules! I really enjoyed this book and will definitely read more from this author!
Review: slow start - I had a bit of slow start getting into the book, but it turned out to be a great short read. I like a book that makes you reflect, this a great one!

If you had the chance to revisit a moment in the past, when and to whom would you travel? At Funiculi Funicula Cafe, time travel can be achieved, as long as you return before the coffee gets cold. The concept for this book is intriguing! The stories were sweet and heartwarming!
