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 Tales from the Cafe, 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 of Toshikazu Kawaguchi's previous novel, 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, simple tale tells the story of people who must face up to their past, in order to move on with their lives. Kawaguchi once again invites the reader to ask themselves: what would you change if you could travel back in time?

Simple book.. consist of 4 different storyline in it but all 4 is someway connected.. nothing extraordinary.. however, good for people who feels guilt over someone’s death

Tales from the Cafe : Before the Coffee Gets Cold

Different kinds of story about going back to the past/future. Here, instead of going back to the past/future to change their faith, people only doing it just to meet someone they love. There's a lot of message the author wants to deliver through this novel. One of it is, to value times we have with the people we have.

Simple but relatable

Simple tales but I cried reading this book. Felt the sadness of each story told. Worth to read.
