Midnight Café Novels & Stories

CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE Katelyn found the Cafe easily. The neighbourhood being so closely knitted allowed her to navigate her way to what truly seemed like the only place where one could get a simple breakfast and coffee. The traffic in the cafe was low since it was already well past 6 PM. Katelyn sat at one of the tables pushed to the far corner of the moderate cafe space. All she asked for was a glass of water that she had chugged down at once the moment the waitress served her.

IT'S RARE... The morning sun was bright but gentle, casting soft rays through the tall glass windows of the city café. The faint smell of roasted coffee and baked pastries filled the air, mixing with the quiet hum of people talking and typing away on laptops. Maya sat at a corner table, sipping her caramel latte while checking her messages. She had come to the café to wait for a client, but the person had just texted to cancel. She sighed lightly and leaned back in her chair, deciding to enjoy her coffee before heading home.

Ava Our usual coffee spot was technically called Espresso Yourself, but everyone on campus called it The Morgue. The lighting was corpse-level blue, the playlist rotated through every sad indie band from 2005, and the baristas looked like they’d just lost a bet with life. It was my favorite place in the world.

She was facing him now, they were standing outside of Kaze's and she was holding a small paper bag with her brother favorite band CDs and Saga's hand was on his jeans pocket. "It can wait." He play along. "You're not giving up, are you?" Kira narrow her eyes at him, she couldn't help but smile. "No, not really." "One coffee." "That's all I asked." * The thing about living in a town that for some reason went to sleep after nine p.m is that they couldn't find an open coffee shop at this time, since it was almost midnight and the town coffee shops usually closed at ten. So they ended up at coffee 24, the only coffee place that open twenty four hours –It was on their name for God's sake and they

Gibbous Flat White for Levine, Short Macchiato Lune for Huxley, Cappuccino Pink Moon for Krysyle, Mocha New Moon for Michane, Red Blood Salted Caramel for me, and Crescent Americano for Clint. “The usual coffee?” Clint asked, popping out of the blue. I smiled at him and answered, “Yeah, it’d be a cold night for us. So I made these.” “Mari, remember 2 movies tonight. But if you can’t manage, it’s okay to close the cafe by 8 pm. We have to go now.” I said and left the cafe with Clint. He’s been driving for a while now and it’s already lunch. We went to a drive-thru and decided to park and eat for a little while and he started driving again.

"What is your usual?" "Chocolate muffins and extra creamy cappuccino," "Aren't you supposed to get that at a café?" "When I said Mama's, I meant Mama K's Morning Delight," he corrected. I knew that café, their things were usually expensive. "Kayla owns that place too?" "Not really, Mordecai does but she takes care of it for him and insists she name the café. When you get there, tell Margaret your name, I already told her your name so she'll know what to give to you."

This year, Keelin's parents are away, so she celebrates the new year at the palace like Ramos, along with Lars, Sera, the Russell brothers, and the maids. The first month of the year passed peacefully, happily, and smoothly. In early February, Keelin opened Bat Wing's Coffee. The cafe is located next to a large shopping mall and quite close to the center of Osmund. After Keelin shared the opening photo on Pitalk, knowing that this is a cafe opened by the lover of the most attractive man in the city, many curious people came to see it. There were even reporters and journalists, but all of these people were blocked by security outside the door.

The cafe was tucked away on a quiet street in Mayfair, a place Amara had always loved for its discretion. Its muted tones, the clinking of fine china, and the soft hum of conversation created the illusion of safety, a bubble where the chaos of the outside world couldn’t intrude. But that morning, safety was an illusion that shattered with a single overheard sentence.

The café smelled like toasted almonds and vanilla syrup when Elena slid into the booth across from Avonlea. The café was an artsy little place with neon signs and too many vintage posters that made it feel like it was constantly stuck in 1995. It was late evening, just after six, and the warm glow of pendant lights made the space feel cozy, even with the chatter of tired office-goers buzzing in the background. Avonlea looked up from her matcha latte with a bright smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

This place, so full of treats and laughers in his childhood, seemed to him today to be loaded with the most precious memories of his life. But tonight, this place of rest would take on its primary role: where all creatures can gather to discuss around a table without being threatened. The Crossroad Café stood before him, simply lit by a few rays of moonlight. It was an impressive three-story wooden cottage with pristine white walls. On the other hand, the vast windows were dressed with engravings of wolves, stars, ivy, and moons. On a large panel, a black wolf howling at the moon stood under the name of the Café written in neon yellow.
