Return to the quiet, mysterious café where time travel is possible—but only under strict conditions—in Tales from the Café, a deeply emotional continuation of the Before the Coffee Gets Cold Series by Toshikazu Kawaguchi.

In this beautifully written sequel, new visitors once again enter the café where they can travel back in time. The rules remain unchanged: they must sit in a specific seat, cannot alter the present, and must return before their coffee gets cold.

Through a series of touching and interconnected stories, the book explores love, regret, second chances, and the emotional weight of unfinished goodbyes. Each journey into the past offers not the power to change time, but the chance to understand it more deeply.

With its gentle storytelling and emotional depth, Tales from the Café continues the series’ signature blend of magical realism and heartfelt human experience.
