Join the much-beloved BookTok sensation with Travis Baldree’s captivating novel of high fantasy and low stakes. After a lifetime of bounty hunting and bloodshed, Viv is ready to retire her sword once and for all. This battle-weary orc has set her sights on a fresh start, opening Thune’s very first coffee shop. But obstacles, both old and new, threaten her success—especially since nobody has a clue what coffee actually is.
If Viv wants to leave her warrior days behind and turn her dreams into reality, she will need some help. However, the true treasures found on the unexplored path are the fellow travelers she encounters. Whether brought together by ancient magic, flaky pastries, or a freshly brewed cup of joe, these companions may become more than just allies—they could become her chosen family and something more profound than she ever imagined.

Legends & Lattes is a low-stakes fantasy that delivers exactly what’s promised: a heartwarming and cozy novel that feels like a comforting embrace. This is the kind of book you’ll want to curl up with and enjoy again and again.”—Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch’s Heart
Legends and Lattes Book Review: A Delightful Fantasy Slice of Life with a Dollop of Romance
I just finished reading Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldry, and it was a delightful experience. This book, a self-proclaimed “hot cup of fantasy slice of life with a dollop of romantic froth,” definitely lived up to its promises. It offered a unique reading experience that I had never encountered before.
While the story wasn’t completely free of conflict and moments of strife, it primarily focused on providing a stress-free and relaxing read. It revolved around an orc who, rather than embarking on adventures and quests, simply wants to serve delicious coffee. No longer interested in vanquishing enemies, this character becomes a barista and serves up hot shots of espresso.
The heartwarming aspect of the story lies in the loving community that springs up around this new coffee shop, called Legends and Lattes. It’s a place where people gather to enjoy great coffee and create connections.
If you’re looking for a refreshing and unique reading experience, I highly recommend checking out Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldry!
