Coffeeshop Stories

Free to read! 19-year-old Jane, newly-single, moves to London to work for her friend, Kitty.

She gets a room above a bookstore and a job as a barista, thanks to her childhood friend Kitty. Struggling with feelings of loneliness among the happy staff, Jane feels further ostracized when Kitty refuses to discuss Matt, who used to live in the bedroom Jane took over and who left under mysterious circumstances. As Jane struggles to find herself, and get the attention of the cute bartender, Harper, she discovers that the Brew Books café is brewing with dark secrets. [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

On a cold Edinburgh morning, she expected nothing more than a coffee, a quiet table, and the courage to start writing again. What she didn't expect was him. He's Dr. Alexander Fraser-brilliant, calm, devastatingly handsome in that quiet-university-professor way. She's a plus-size writer with a warm heart, a messy life, and a talent for turning simple mornings into public disasters. A spilled latte. A humiliating fall. A pair of strong hands that lift her back up. And a moment she absolutely wasn't prepared for. Neither of them knows what this is yet- a coincidence, a spark, or just a very embarrassing Tuesday. But at Nicholson Square, even small moments have a way of changing everything. A cosy, funny, slow-burn British romance about unexpected connections, shy glances, winter mornings, and a woman who's far more extraordinary than she realises.

They meet through simple circumstances, a small joke sparking the love that grows between them. And it all starts in a coffee shop. --- Cover by: @annashappy

It began softly - a fleeting moment, a quiet smile, a warmth neither of them expected. Mikaela never meant to fall for Rion, and Rion never thought love could still find him after everything he'd lost. Yet in the stillness between them, something fragile starts to bloom. But the past has a cruel way of finding its way back. And when buried truths surface, love will become the very thing that breaks them. "Fantasize for Tragedy" is a story of gentle beginnings and painful revelations - where love and ruin share the same heartbeat.

𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 . . . It's normal when things aren't handed to you on a silver platter. That was the life of Darcy Thompson. She never expects more, never receives less.

And sadly, not all dreams come true. But to Sawyer Kline, life couldn't have been easier. Wealthy family, college soccer teams already reaching out, and every girl pining after him. But it won't last, especially with his failing grades. Two unlikely worlds come crashing together, seething through the cracks, its not likely to end well.

A job at a coffeeshop for fun? For Wukong, a great idea! The job came to him quickly - a cutesy, loft coffeeshop with people working, reading or just enjoying a nice cup of hope on the plushy leather seats that warm their butts after a looong day.. While his apprentice MK is out with his friends doin' whatevs on his skateboard, Wukong serves coffee like he needs to win a contest; he starts loving his new job. And even more when an interesting monkey comes regularly to drink something and work with that focused furrowed brow; admittedly, incredibly handsome. The monkey with black fur always orders the same type of coffee, and Wukong somehow never gets tired of making it - "Black, with cream, and one spoon of sugar, please."

Your co-worker: "Why does he always stare at you then leave?" You: "I dont know..." He always does it. He comes in, orders his coffee, then sits in the corner and stares at me before leaving just before closing time. It should bother me. It should scare me. Instead, it makes me clumsy and flustered. Who is he? AND What does he want?...

We All Consciously Fall, Every Single Time. Everyone tries so hard to sail through their memories once in a while, to remember the good ones forgotten, find the love once lost and relive those little treasured moments. That's a No No Land for Ian. Doing so unearths all the hurts buried deep and meant to be forgotten. One thing does stay. The fact that they would always leave. ALWAYS? Thats the question Koffee never thought she'll be an answer to anyway......IF THERE IS LIFE , THERE IS HOPE. She was always taught to hope, to dream and to live. Opening a coffee shop was a dream she had always hoped to live in. Seeing it come to reality was more than she could ask for. Who knew opening a coffee shop wouldn't be the only phase in her dream come true?

[multishippers, get your asses in here. this one's for you 💖] Roman Trente has a few things. A roommate that he's gotten fond of. Well, as fond as you can be of a short, emo nightmare. Fond nonetheless. They're as close as he'd like them to be. Which is very, very close. A job, where he gets to see that one cute coworker every day, and they can trade snarky comments about whatever sparks their interest that day. Nothing like handing someone a hot coffee while a hot guy whispers hot takes in your ear. A secret, double life, fighting the supervillain Illusion. Who, it just so happens, has the most adorable smile and laugh and eyes and - superheroes were not supposed to be attracted to the very people trying to hurt their city, right? Nor were they supposed to help them defend it against an even worse, more deadly one. Roman Trente has, in summary, the perfect life. Too bad soulmates are a thing. ~ a few things: 1) read the a/n! 2) this is not just 'who gets the guy' there's a story here as well. also starting with chapter 14 there's some 'glitches' in the text! those are purposeful. i did hide some code in there (not much most of it is number spam) so study those if you want!! scroll past them too and you won't miss much, they're basically an easter egg :) that's all! thanks for your interest yall :)))

"Mom, why do all your tenants have the weirdest quirks?" In the heart of Osaka, nestled between restless streets and neon-lit alleyways, stands a small café-a quiet haven for those carrying burdens too heavy to name. Saori never set out to be a savior, but somehow, the second-floor rooms above her shop have become home to the lost, the aimless, and the quietly broken. Her tenants arrive like unfinished stories, each weighed down by something unspoken. Each of them chasing something-an ambition, a purpose, a dream long since worn thin by the weight of reality. Saori does not try to fix them. Instead, she offers warmth-a cup of coffee, a quiet space, the patience to let them mend at their own pace. Because in the end, they are not truly lost. They are only waiting. (A unique take of the Gozyuger cast in a coffeeshop! AU)

New York was supposed to be Ivy Pierce' fresh start-her escape from a life controlled by her mother and a chance to finally build the dream she's kept tucked away for years: a warm little corner coffee shop where she can breathe freely for the first time. But the city has a mind of its own. On her first morning, Ivy crosses paths with Luca Hunt-sharp-jawed, intense, unavailable. A man who shouldn't matter. A man with a girlfriend. A man who somehow keeps showing up exactly where she is... and looking at her like she's the only person in the room. Then there's Jake Harrison-charming, golden, and everything Ivy would want. He's kind, steady, helpful, and effortlessly drawn to her. With him, Ivy feels safe. Wanted. Seen. Caught between two very different men, Ivy quickly learns that New York's greatest dangers aren't the crowded streets or the late-night shadows... they're the sparks she can't control. As Ivy pours her heart into renovating her dusty café, old wounds resurface, unexpected passions ignite, and her quiet new beginning becomes a storm of stolen glances, forbidden tension, and choices that could shatter more than just hearts. In a city full of noise, Ivy must decide which voice she'll follow- the one that calms her... or the one that sets her soul on fire.
