Bookseller recommendation
“This low stakes fantasy is a perfect read for cozy season or just anytime plans are canceled so you can stay in and read. Come for the exploration of starting a new business (when no one knows what your product is, no one's heard of a latte!?) and stay for the heartwarming characters who become family by the end.”

“This is the cozy and heartwarming fantasy novel you didn't know you needed! It's a tender story with delightful characters in a snug setting. The kind of tale that Dungeon Masters will feel inspired to have for their next laid-back D&D campaign. So if you are a fan of wholesome, found-family stories do yourself a favor and listen to this book!”
— Courtney • Auburn Oil Co. Booksellers

“Cozy mysteries are a huge subgenre, but have you heard of cozy sci-fi/fantasy? If you’re new to the trend and could use something rich and sweet to warm you up, this story of a warrior orc named Viv who decides to pursue her dream of opening a cafe in a city that’s never heard of coffee is a gentle, affirming read. I especially enjoyed the community that gathers around the coffee shop - oddball customers included - the intrigue, and the romance. ”
— Megan • Underground Books
Bookseller recommendation
“This book is an absolute gem. It's like a cozy blanket for the soul—a light, fluffy read that doesn't take itself too seriously. And that's precisely why I adore it! The perfect blend of fantasy and everyday coffee shop charm makes it a truly enchanting experience. The author's creativity in expressing the world of coffee and pastries adds a whimsical touch that I can't get enough of. Overall, a fantastic read with just the right amount of fluff to brighten your day!”

"Even nonfantasy listeners will enjoy hanging out at the intersection of coffeehouse culture and Dungeons & Dragons, and hope that Baldree fails to shake his new writing habit." - The Seattle Times

The much-beloved BookTok sensation, Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes is novel of high fantasy and low stakes.
Come take a load off at Viv's cafe, the first & only coffee shop in Thune. Grand opening!
Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen.
However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To finally build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.
A hot cup of fantasy, slice-of-life with a dollop of romantic froth.

Reviews
"This is a story about following your dreams, even when they take you away from who you thought you had to be. It's sweet, beautiful and, most of all, kind. I hugely recommend this book."—Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of Every Heart A Doorway
“Legends & Lattes is a uniquely beautiful book. Its cast of endearing characters have no interest at all in killing one another. There is no Great Evil, no bloody battles, and yet the pillars of great fantasy—resilience, fellowship, and a desire to make the world a better place—are all here. It’s wonderfully wholesome, and I hope heralds the rise of a 'slice-of-life' sub-genre in modern fantasy.”—Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld
“Take a break from epic battles and saving the world. Legends & Lattes is a low-stakes fantasy that delivers exactly what's advertised: a wholesome, cozy novel that feels like a warm hug. This is my new comfort read.”—Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart
“Legends & Lattes is a big-hearted story about the small things in life. A lovingly written ode to the genre, it is a must-read for every D&D player who has ever wondered what happens after 'happily ever after.'”—Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author
