From the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and Tales from the Cafe comes another story of four new customers, each of whom is hoping to take advantage of the cafe’s time-travelling offer. Among some familiar faces from Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s previous novels, readers will also be introduced to: I didn’t even know there was a third book in this until I chanced on it at my favorite bookstore. Sadly, the series is getting a bit repetitive. There were too many characters, and the stories weren’t as poignant as in the earlier books. The writing appeared a bit hasty, maybe the translation. And overall, it didn’t really hit the right notes. Another sweet addition to the series featuring two cafes in Japan where a person can visit the past or the future to talk to someone for just the time it takes until their cup of coffee gets cold, then they must return to the present. They cannot change the present with this trip, but the various people who choose to undertake the journey are themselves changed.

But I am still here,' she reminded him gently. 'I'll always be by your side,' she said without hesitation. 'Even though I die, as long as you don't forget me, I'll always be in your heart.” These two quotes reaffirmed my thinking that our heart is the eyes of the soul, and if we truly want to know the person, we should never disregard this ability of another way to see.

It will be bitter and painful, and they will have to weigh up their dreams and reality to make a choice.

You could say that hope is the power to believe in the future." There are parts of the book that are a bit repetitive (the repetition of the rules multiple times) but overall I always come out of my reading of these novels feeling uplifted and satisfied. These aren't deep books, they are short and to the point, so they don't reach me as fully as they could as a more in-depth character study would.

Even though I liked this book the least out of the three I have read so far, it made me feel emotional and I enjoyed it :) The first two books takes place in Café Funiculi Funicula in Tokyo, whereas in this book, the stories are in Café Donna Donna on the hillside of mount Hakodate. We meet some characters we already know, Nagare and Kazu, along with Kazu's seven year old daughter Sachi. Nagare's mother, Yukari, who owns the café is travelling, so the the café is run by Nagare and Kazu in her absence. The rules of the café are the same, 1) nothing can change the past or the present, 2) customers need to drink the coffee before it gets cold, and it's only possible to use the time-travelling chair when it's occupant - here an elderly ghost gentleman - leaves his seat.
