Summary

Before the Coffee Gets Cold: A Time-Traveling Tale

In a hidden Tokyo alleyway, a century-old café offers more than just carefully brewed coffee—it offers a chance to travel back in time.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold introduces us to four individuals, each drawn to the café by the promise of revisiting the past:

  • One seeks closure with a departed lover.
  • Another longs to receive a letter from her husband, lost in the fog of early Alzheimer’s.
