Summary
The million-copy bestselling series
Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s heartwarming Tales from the Cafe, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last 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...
From the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold comes a story of four new customers each of whom is hoping to take advantage of Cafe Funiculi Funicula's time-travelling offer. Among some faces that will be familiar to readers, we will be introduced to:
The man who goes back to see his best friend who died 22 years ago
The son who was unable to attend his own mother’s funeral
The man who travelled to see the girl who he could not marry
The old detective who never gave his wife that gift...
This beautiful tale tells the story of people who must face up to their past, in order to move on with their lives.

First book was better
I didnt love this as much as the first book. But i still really enjoyed it. We get to know the cafe owner and workers a bit more in this one :) But I didnt feel as invested in these stories.

Another stunning chapter of this saga
Excellent storytelling and characters that seem plucked from reality. Another beautiful bounce back and forwards in time whilst telling very human stories.

Beautiful book but Prefer Arina Ii's Narration
It's a beautiful story but I wish it had been narrated by Arina Ii who narrated the audiobook of the first novel
