What readers say
Readers who love coffee adore this long-running series set in a historic Greenwich Village coffeehouse, with brewing lore, recipes, a lively New York atmosphere and a quirky cast led by the shop's elegant owner, Madame. Many call it a comfort read and say the series improves after the first book. Common criticisms are frequent coffee lectures that slow the story, a heroine some find hard to like, romance subplots that take up a lot of space and some contrived plot turns.
Best for: Coffee lovers who want atmospheric New York cozies with romance and recipes.
