The much-beloved BookTok sensation, Travis Baldree's novel of high fantasy and low stakes.
After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed, Viv is hanging up her sword for the last time.
The battle-weary orc aims to start fresh, opening the first ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success — not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is.
If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her plans a reality, she won't be able to go it alone.
But the true rewards of the uncharted path are the travelers you meet along the way. And whether drawn together by ancient magic, flaky pastry, or a freshly brewed cup, they may become partners, family, and something deeper than she ever could have dreamed.
“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

The epitome of “cozy fantasy,” Legends & Lattes is a book that will make you want to curl up with a cup of coffee and a Cinnabon.
Legends & Lattes is an absolute delight; from beginning to end, this novel is worth reading.
Storytelling
If you haven’t already gotten that, I absolutely loved this novel. This novel is hands down one of my favorites, marking Travis Baldree as one of my new favorite authors.
The story follows Viv, a retired orc/bounty hunter who just wants to do one thing: open a coffee shop.
In her pursuit to make her dream come true, she meets Cal, a hobgoblin and master carpenter; Tandri, an artistic succubus; and Thimble, a soft-spoken ratkin and genius baker.
These are only some of the brilliant characters that Baldree has crafted, giving them such outstanding personalities and building up that perfect #foundfamily trope. They fit together, coming together to make this coffee shop successful and believing in Viv and her dream.
But it’s not just the characters that make the story great; it’s also the atmosphere.
A Love Letter to DnD
As an avid Dungeons and Dragons fan (I literally have the Dragonlance logo tattooed on my arm), I loved the world that Baldree created here. In this coffee shop, these characters are some that would fit into any DnD campaign. Because that’s how it feels. The town, the coffee shop, feels genuine and like home.
While reading this novel, I just wanted to fall into the book, grab one of her cups of coffee, and sit down and play chess with these characters. It feels warm and cozy just reading this novel. And that is due to Baldree’s brilliant style of writing and world-building.
Final Thoughts
Legends & Lattes is simply brilliant and a must-read for all.
