Coffee Letters Novels & Stories

Geoff said, grinning ear to ear. They walked on, passing a coffee shop where people sat tapping away at laptops. Geoff nudged him inside, steering him toward the counter. “Choose whatever you like,” Geoff said. Keenan scanned the glowing menu board, his lips moving as he tried to piece together the names. “Caramel… macchiato… latte. These are spells.” “They’re just coffee drinks,” Geoff said, amused. The barista looked up expectantly. Keenan straightened, gripping his pride like a sword. “I will have… your strongest potion.”

His tone grew small, "You used to love the coffee I made you every day." I quirked my eyebrow. "I'm pretty sure coffee is only discovered by the fifteenth century after christ was born," I said confidently, "And you said the cycles have started even before christ was allegedly born. It doesn't add up, demon." I crossed my leg just to prove a point. "True," he answered calmly, "When I said 'you', I didn't mean Renee. From Crishella to Anastasia, all of you always loved the coffee I made."

“Vanderford, do you drink coffee?” “Do you have tea?” “You don’t even know what she drinks?” Reef asked in a whisper. “Why are you whispering?” Linden asked him, making another omelet. He put in a good amount of grated cheese. Once he was done, he garnished it with chopped herbs. “I don’t wanna offend our guy here,” Reef replied. “I drink coffee.” “See? She drinks coffee,” Linden chuckled a little. “Strike, she’s here,” Reef announced. “Let her come in here.”

“Coffee. Black. I didn’t know how you took it, so black was the safest option.” The coffee was still hot, and it tasted like it had been brewed hours ago and reheated. It was the worst coffee Julian had ever had. It was also the first gift anyone had given him in the past seventy-two hours that wasn’t medical or mercenary in nature. “Thank you,” he said. She made a small noise not quite a laugh, not quite dismissal. “Don’t thank me yet. You haven’t actually done anything. Coffee is cheap. Results are expensive.”

and “Let me know if you need support on this.” And I appreciated it. I did. **** It started with coffee. Again. I came in that morning to find a cup already on my desk. Not the machine-brewed stuff in the break room, this was the good kind. Artisan. With a tiny caramel swirl in the foam and my name, Camilla, scribbled on the cup in handwriting that looked suspiciously deliberate. I blinked down at it like it might explode. I hadn’t even taken off my coat yet. Alex’s office door was slightly ajar. I poked my head in.

“The man at the stall… he said it was a 'special batch.' I thought it smelled nice. Did I get ripped off? My mother always said I was too trusting with street vendors.” Zosia looked at the coffee, then back at me. A small, knowing smile played on her lips. She didn't believe me—not for a second—but she wasn't going to call me on it. Not yet. “Thank you, Nick. It’s… it’s perfect. Sasha was just complaining that our coffee tastes like battery acid.” “Vindicated!” a voice boomed from inside the apartment. Sasha appeared behind Zosia, her red hair a wild halo, her eyes gleaming with delight. “Nick! The Silver Fox! Come in, come in! We were just discussing your bone structure.”

The attachment was titled: Alpha Jeremiah’s Preference Manual. I clicked it open, expecting a brief list of allergies or meeting styles. Instead, a massive spreadsheet filled my screen. I saw words like ‘vanilla’ and ‘cinnamon’ and ‘dark roast’ scattered across the cells. I realized I was looking at a technical manual for a cup of coffee. The instructions were intense. It wasn't just about the beans. It was about the temperature of the water, the exact ratio of cream to sugar, and the fact that it had to be hand-brewed. No machines.

I got my books out and started studying while enjoying the coffee. I will wait till they close, so I can speak to the owner. After a couple of coffees, it was midnight. I had been studying in the café for hours without realizing it, Charles called me a couple of times and I shut my phone to focus on studying. I also saw Dustin and this girl from my Maths class working here. I covered my head with the hood of my jacket, so they couldn’t see me. “Do you want anything, Lavi?” Dustin asked as he stood next to the door.
