After a rough break up, and being ditched by her friend who invited her out, Elizabeth finds herself  in the new mysterious coffee shop that has been rather popular lately in her small town. Once inside, the strange barista boy gives her a rather strange espresso shot prepared how it would have been in 1961. After drinking the espresso shot, she has a strange feeling and goes to leave the building only to find herself in the middle of her bustling town. Only, instead of 2023, it is 1961! 

Will Elizabeth get back home unscathed or will she intervene with her own future?

SEQUEL TO - ESPRESSOLY FOR YOU; a one shot. Daisy, twenty-two and a culinary graduate was set to crack her first interview and impress the head chef but when asked to meet the restaurant manager for a final word, things took a turn into the surprise lane. Unaware of his identity, her world stopped spinning on its axis when she discovered it to be her crush since past four years. Philip's face was the reminder of her affection and obsession with the veteran who came to her café and stole her heart when she was barely eighteen. Although young Daisy couldn't pacify the intricate ridges of her heart from yearning for the man, the confident girl of today knew well, not to succumb. She may have let Philip go long ago, her determination to make him stay this time was chiseled in rock. But the only problem, Philip was unaware of Daisy's emotional rollercoaster and sadly, visually impaired to see what her aching heart put to display every time he even looked at her. Follow Daisy's journey and the life path she choose, acknowledging her fears and accepting her rogue feelings. ~ ✨Featured- Stories Undiscovered ✨ FoodKart TRIGGER - The story is a slow burner romance, with lots of cooking and food references.

Fall in Love in a Coffee Shop by twistedmetalalliance
20 parts Complete Mature
18+ warning What's not to love about a coffee shop? Fresh roasted beans, fluffy pastries, and a girl looking for the love of her life. Not just her, but her two best friends get thrown into a loop when 3 stunning cops decide this will be their new daily ritual...Let's begin with Serenity.... To my readers: This is the first story I have written in many years. This will also be the first time I have also written a story with multiple character romances. The series is inspired by the song by Landon Pigg and a dream I had. In addition I am creating this while in nursing school...so it's a little rough. *I should be studying* This story is purely fictional, characters and names of characters, any relation to real life people is purely coincidental. This entire story is based off a dream and inspired by a song. These characters are of my own creation, and I am entitled to their likeness and copyright. This story is property of VOA productions. Enjoy! ~*VOA Productions 2019.*~ Ranking: #1 in cops 8/20/19

[Watty Awards 2019 Winner - New Adult!] Damian Ryker is something of a nomad. In his 22 years of life he's moved a grand total of 14 times. But he's here to stay this time, honest. He's already got himself a cushy new job in town and he's exploring the popular local shops, like that coffee shop down the road. It seems nice enough, perhaps a little too hipster for his taste and the barista is awkward, if not the slightest bit weird. But there's something strange about the innocuous café, like-oh I don't know-earthquakes that seem to destroy it every morning before miraculously repairing themselves and leaving him with the only memory of it. And just when that sounded a tad off, things start to get...a little out of this world. ------------ This was my 2017 Nanowrimo story that I couldn't quite fall out of love with. Inspired by the fun and fascinating world of fan fiction AUs, I hope you'll have as much fun with this as I had writing it!

This is a short story about a band-obsessed outcasted teen and the handsome barista of the new café. (Cliché, i know. But pfff) Gabe is around his two best and only friends almost all of the time. The people in school make fun of him because they don't think he's 'cool enough'. But Gabe ignores them as good as he can. When the three of them go to the new café down the road, the hot barista immediately catches Gabes eyes. The barista seems pretty interested but Gabe is too scared he will only make fun of him like the others. What will happen when Gabes best friend pressures him into inviting the barista to her party? __________ Lol this sounds shitty but the book actually isn't THAT bad hahaha. Check it out if you like. It would mean a lot to me. Please let me know what you think about it in the comments. I love and need feedback. Love you 💋 🚫🚫🚫 quick side note, this is a transgender story. One of the characters is transgender. Female to male = FTM, AS stated in the title.🚫🚫🚫 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋 LOTS OF LOVE GUYS.

AHHH SOMEONE TELL ME TO STOP WRITING ESPRESSOLINE FANFICS 😭 --- Y'all js to let you know I have no idea if this is gonna be continued! No promises!!!
