What a cozy and warmhearted book! It's like if all the tropes of Fantasy retired and started up a coffee shop together.

Did not live up to the hype. Of which there has been a lot.
Nice cozy story, heavy on the coffee, heavy on the sweetener; loved the mouse baker.
If you can't tell be the cover, it's a romance.
I still think of latte as 'bean water with milk' now. ...more

Definitely a fun cozy read. It's probably more fun for people who like coffee (and coffee houses). I found the problems as the end a big stressor, which took away some of the cozy factor though, and I'm not sure the economics hold up. But a fun read and I'm looking forward to talking about it at our local bookstore with-a-food-court outside.

Cute, feel-good story. Made a few hours on the freeway go by faster.
Again, Laurie, stop judging the book by the cover! I finally read this because it is nominated for like every SFF book prize an many, many people who enjoy fantasy have read it. It is so good! It kind of turns epic fantasy on its head, and introduces great, diverse (in terms of species) characters. Definitely recommended.
I'm glad I finally read this book. It was adorable and sweet and the cozy book I needed. Loved it!
