The Full Moon Coffee Shop
The Full Moon Coffee Shop: A Novel | Mai Mochizuki
14 posts | 16 read | 18 to read
Translated from the Japanese bestseller, a charming and magical novel that reminds us its never too late to follow our stars. In Japan, cats are a symbol of good luck. As the myth goes, if you are kind to them, theyll one day return the favor. And if you are kind to the right cat, you might just find yourself invited to a mysterious coffee shop under a glittering Kyoto moon. This particular coffee shop is like no other. It has no fixed location, no fixed hours, and it seemingly appears at random. Its also run by talking cats. While customers at the Full Moon Coffee Shop partake in cakes and coffees and teas, the cats also consult their star charts, offering cryptic wisdom, and letting them know where their lives veered off course. Every person who visits the shop has been feeling more than a little lost. For a down-on-her-luck screenwriter, a romantically stuck movie director, a hopeful hairstylist, and a technologically challenged website designer, the coffee shops feline guides will set them back on their fated paths. For there is a very special reason the shop appeared to each of them . . .

Texreader Ok with that description I have to read it!! 2w
JanuarieTimewalker13 @Texreader it‘s cute, but not great. I wasn‘t thrilled in the beginning, but I gave it a “pick” bc I liked how all the people (and cats) tied into one another. It‘s quick, so not a great investment of time. Hope you like it! 1w

⭐️⭐️💫

This was a very quick read and a pleasant enough way to pass the time on a train ride. I liked the vibes - astrology and cats. I definitely preferred “Before the Coffee Gets Cold” and “What You Are Looking For Is In The Library”, though.

4/5 🌟

Another cozy, heartwarming Japanese novel with talking cats and a mystical pop-up café. Astrology plays a significant role throughout the book, and while it isn‘t usually my thing, it didn‘t detract from my enjoyment of the book. You really can‘t go wrong with warm, comforting reads like this. 📚

A cozy book about knowing yourself and rebuilding from rock bottom. The astrology was a little heavy-handed for me, but I still found it fun. Plus, I loved the cats. 4 stars.

A quick read that was hand sold to me in the local bookstore. Generally uplifting in that slightly twee way that seems to be a hallmark of this genre of a Japanese fiction. Talking animals and life lessons and all that. The translation was better than others out there with dialogue that flowed a bit better. I think if you love this genre of book, you will enjoy this for sure.

This was so good! I‘m glad i picked this one up. If you like astrology then this one is for you. If you like taking cats then this one is for you. I don‘t want to give anything away but the character connections and flow of the story line was really good. It‘s a light read. A good palate cleanser. Everyone should read this one!

Five people, all struggling with different aspects of their lives, find their way to a mysterious coffee shop pop up where they are given delectable treats and life advice based on their astrology by giant talking cats.

The astrology stuff went over my head but the self-help stuff was actually lovely and light-handed with both a touch of fate and free will. The reveal at the end brought me to tears.

If you need help on a full moon, The Full Moon Cafe may appear to you, & the staff of cats will give you advice & food.

I am obsessed w/ these Japanese fabulist stories. The foods made me hungry, & the cats were insightful providing astrological insight/advice.

The stories are sweet & charming. I loved the characters that are dealing w/ difficult times in their lives, & they come to the cafe to get the push they need to move forward.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

A Coffee Shop run by cats pops up on the full moon and helps a loosely associated group of characters. It's adorable. Definitely a palette cleanse book.

Somehow got an inadvertent selfie into my photo. 😂 oops
