A cute read that was interesting enough, it didn’t grip me but itwas good enough that I wanted to know what was going to happen, a pleasant read
I love a good witchy magical romance. Add in coffee and I am your gal. This was a fun and sweet romance read. The characters were endearing and the story was a cozy fuzzy feely book.
Not a lot of substance, but if you are just looking for a fun, quick, fantasy romance then this book might just be for you.
I didn’t enjoy this the way I hoped I would. I don’t feel like Florence and Samson really developed a believable romance, so the end just felt kind of rushed and fell flat. I also think it made it hard to read because I just couldn’t connect with the way Florence was written.
‘So we’ve infected our town with magic love beans?’ You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy coffee and that’s kind of the same thing especially when you throw in a laugh out loud book centered around a coffee yurt like this one.
What a great family, I loved all the characters in the family and the story was fun.
Although I have no idea how old the youngest was, sometimes I thought she was around 5 and at other times a teenager.
It is predictable, but feel-good with a hint of magic.
I have such mixed feelings about this one!
This book gave me such Hallmark movie vibes - would love to see it come to life on a screen someday!
The author’s writing style felt organic, an easy read, that had me laughing out loud at some of the dialogue. I loved the multi-generational family dynamic with a cast of quirky characters.
But there were also a few major things I didn’t love:
The pacing of the romance between Florence and Samson felt pretty natural until the end when it became too emotional too quickly. It almost felt like their connection was rushed. This was disappointing because I feel that it made their romance unbelievable and took me out of the story.
Where was the magic we were promised? For a book called “Witchy Coffee” I wanted WAY more magic! It is hinted at that the Mackenzie family are witches but we don’t see much magic other than from Pearl, the grandmother, but it’s very light.
Overall, worth a read if you’re looking for a breezy, super cute romance to get you into the winter/holiday spirit.
I didn't believe in the romance of this one which is kind of the point of a romance novel. There just wasn't enough interaction between our couple for me to see the enemies to lovers trajectory and that made the book not as enjoyable as I had hoped.
Pour a nice hot cup of coffee and cosy up with this fall romance set in a little town. This book was just cute and cosy and that’s all there was too it. I love a cosy mystery and this book had that mixed with an adorable romance. Also, if the Yurt Coffee Shop existed in real life my bank account would be crying.
Florence Mackenzie and her family own the local coffee shop in a small town on the coast. When they create a new blend of coffee people all over the town begin to fall in love with each other. When Florence’s life is put in jeopardy by a man trying to buy the shop, she begins to question how well the beans work when she begins to fall for the same man.
I can see this being the next Hallmark movie. It gives off those cosy, easy vibes that made me just feel all warm inside.
The family aspect of this book was my favourite part. I love family relationships in books and this one was no exception. The Mackenzie women are adorable, and the grandma is the best. They are so supportive of each other, and it was so sweet to read about them in the coffee shop whilst they're working.
This book is definitely giving me Gilmore Girl vibes with the fall setting and the small town not to mention the coffee. Books like this are perfect to pick up in the cold weather. I love picking easy calming reads like this one in between bigger books especially if they have as good of a atmosphere as this one. The crazy events and the cute vibes made for a perfect easy read.
The only issue I had was that the romance felt a little too predictable and the writing was simple and basic. It was definitely an easy read which at the end of the day is what I was looking for in this one. Florence and Samson had some really sweet moments which made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Especially with the rivalry between the Mackenzie women and Samson.
This was an easy three star read for me. It was just a fun, light-hearted and easy read which would be perfect for the winter months. The romance was fluffy, and the atmosphere was fun. If you like Gilmore Girls then this is definitely the book for you. I will be picking up the next book in the series.
I have given Witchy Coffee by Erin Ritch three out of five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
A cute, fun and cosy story filled with family relationships, love and magic. I really enjoyed reading this book and meeting all of the characters introduced to us. Our main character, Florence, was likeable from the beginning and I enjoyed learning about her and her family. Samson, our love interest, was sweet and I wish this book had been a little longer so the author could build more on the romantic side to this book, as it felt like the romance was lacking. Although, it was brief I enjoyed the enemies to lovers trope in this book but again, I would’ve loved for this story to be longer.
I have to mention how incredibly hungry this story made me. The descriptive sweet delicacies that Pearl, Florence’s grandmother, kept making throughout the book had me salivating at the pages.
I don't typically pick up books without knowing anything about them, but this sounded like a fun read, so I decided to take a chance on it. Overall, I had a good time, as this was a quick read with a cozy, fun setting. I wasn't blown away by it though, especially because I found the writing to be lacking, and I didn't really feel invested in the romance. A bonus was the setting of the holiday season though!
hooked and hooked some more. Loved all of this and couldn't put it down. I was like oh my. I need to know more. Read it.
Super cute! Very witchy and Hallmark movie-esque which I certainly don’t mind. Fun to read a book set right near me, too.
Two of my favorite things in the title and there's instant love. This book gave me all the feels: small town romance, small town busy bodies, coffee (you can never have enough IMO), and magic. I enjoyed this book.
4 stars
Thank you Netgalley for this arc!
I really liked the tropes and overall aesthetic of this book! Very cute.
When the most unlikely people begin to “fall in love” with each other in Florence’s small home town who would have suspected a special coffee blend as the culprit? Well, maybe Florence would since she’s a witch who should be able to spot a spell. But why would someone do that? Time to find out in Witchy Coffee.
I had fun with this adorable paranormal romance that might have added to my coffee obsession. Florence has been fired from her barista job and has returned to her hometown and her family’s coffee shop. Life just keeps happening to her when the son of the man who fired her shows up wanting to purchase the coffee shop and turn it into a chain. That is so not happening on her watch.
Witchy Coffee is light-hearted, charming with lots of coffee, tons of giggles, and those unlikely couples just might include Florence. Sit back, grab your own coffee refill and enjoy.

Witchy Coffee takes place during the holiday season, it's light read you can enjoy over the weekend. I thought the book was cute and fun to read.
This book is perfect for those looking for an enemies to lover witchy romance. This story starts with Florence losing her job for a competitor coffee shop of her families. Then she has to move back home and help with the family business. It was great to see the women in her family and the relationships they had with one another. I also enjoyed the fantasy aspect of the story. Although I felt like the romance fell short. I did believe the two main characters disliked each other but I was not invested in the romance part. Overall a quick fun read.
Thank you to NetGalley and the No Wyverns Publishing for allowing me to obtain early access to Witchy Coffee.
Unfortunately, this wasn't my cup of brew. (pun intended)
I am a supernatural lover and enjoy a enemies to lovers romance but this one just didn't do it for me.
It felt a little too cheesy and forced. To be fair, I DNF'd this book so I will not rate this on Goodreads in hopes that it will not deter others who may enjoy it.
Again, thank you for the opportunity.
I would like to thank netgalley and BooksGoSocial for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Just didn't enjoy it.
Sometimes you run into books that just don't click with you for whatever reason.
This was one of those books.
The premise caught my attention, but the book didn't hold it.
This book had all the catnip elements, but was instead instantly forgettable.
Thank you to NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are my own.
