Carver Cafe Novels & Stories

Ethan took notes furiously, highlighting passages that felt personal. Mornings often began at Bean There, the campus coffee shop where he landed a barista job within weeks. The owner, a gruff but fair woman named Carla, trained him on the espresso machine. "Smile at the customers, but don't let them walk over you," she advised. Ethan mastered latte art quickly: hearts, leaves, even simple tulips on busy days. Tips piled up in the jar, funding late night snacks and the occasional new book.

In front of the café, a signage with the drawing of a smiling cauldron was carved on a golden plate adorned with cobwebs. Matilda swallowed the cupcake in one go; her face which almost lost its flesh showed how her still-intact teeth munched down the velvet pastry down to her bony throat. “I miss having you here, girlie. I wanted to show you this place, but the next thing I knew, you went into vacation with your d-i-l-f.”

“Today’s the day you show them all.” I rush down the stairs, grabbing the go-bag that I prepared last night and heading out to the cafe down my street for a quick pick-me-up before the day begins. The bell jingles over my head as I step inside, and I’m greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods. The barista, a sweet lady named Carol, is behind the counter. “Morning, Abby! The usual?” she asks. “Morning, Carol. Yes, please—black coffee, one sugar, and a croissant.”

It's getting harder for her to carry. After two minutes, The café’s wooden door creaks open as Carol steps in, the familiar scent of fresh coffee and baked pastries wrapping around her like a comforting blanket. It’s been weeks since she last felt anything close to comfort, but this place is her refuge from the empty house, from the memories, from the ache that gnaws at her insides. She keeps her eyes low, avoiding the friendly wave from the barista, who always tries to talk to her. It’s pointless. The world’s noise has long since been muted for her.

' he thought, mouth watering at the idea. The cafe wasn't anything special on the outside. The car park had a few cars in it with lorries parked further away so as not to clog up the exit. The benefit was the cafe was warm and had a menu so big that it ran over five pages. Cream walls with nondescript landscape paintings and a couple of newspaper clippings in thin wood frames littered the wall. The smell of hot oil and salty bacon hit them like a hot wall the moment they stepped in. The driver, who appeared to be the leader of the group, led the way to a booth that could handle all five men including the prisoner.

She knew she had no one else who still supported her, other than Caroline. It was eight a.m. So, she didn’t have enough time to meet with her uncle. Amy finally ordered a taxi and headed to the 21 Cafe. According to Caroline, the cafe was named ‘21 Cafe’ because the owner was twenty-one when he had an idea to open a cafe. Yes, the owner’s parents were billionaires, but he wanted to have his own company. So, he started the cafe with his money, and it worked well until he opened several cafes with the same name.

"Just... unbelievable." Hearing their conversation behind him, a grin spread across Carver's face as he interacted with the hotel staff at the door. He soon emerged with a sizable tray loaded with breakfast food. He strolled over to where Ava and Peyton were still nestled in bed, and with boyish enthusiasm, he placed the tray between them, declaring, "Dig in!"

The cafe was located at a street close to her precint. As Detective Sophia entered the cafe, she noticed the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. The sound of a soft jazz tune playing in the background created a cozy ambiance. The cafe was dimly lit, with small, circular tables scattered throughout the room. The walls were decorated with rustic wooden panels, giving the cafe a vintage feel. A large chalkboard hung behind the counter, displaying the different types of coffee and snacks available. A few people were sitting at the tables, chatting and sipping their drinks, while others were typing away on their laptops.

I didn’t know where to turn. A small cafe caught my eye… "Coffee Cove," the sign read, with a wooden carving of a coffee cup hanging above the door. The windows were slightly steamed up, and I could see a few early customers inside, huddled over their drinks and snacks. The smell of coffee drifted toward us as someone walked out… the scent was warm and deliciously inviting. I needed a break. Just to sit down and sort through the mess in my head before I made a decision I couldn't take back or even have the gall to face Kira.
