Publisher's Summary

"Even nonfantasy listeners will enjoy hanging out at the intersection of coffeehouse culture and Dungeons & Dragons, and hope that Baldree fails to shake his new writing habit." - The Seattle Times

This program is read by the author.

The much-beloved BookTok sensation, Travis Baldree's
Legends & Lattes, is novel of high fantasy and low stakes.

Come take a load off at Viv's cafe, the first & only coffee shop in Thune. Grand opening!


Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen.

However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To finally build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

A hot cup of fantasy, slice-of-life with a dollop of romantic froth.

What the critics say

"This is a story about following your dreams, even when they take you away from who you thought you had to be. It's sweet, beautiful and, most of all, kind. I hugely recommend this book."—Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of Every Heart A Doorway

Legends & Lattes is a uniquely beautiful book. Its cast of endearing characters have no interest at all in killing one another. There is no Great Evil, no bloody battles, and yet the pillars of great fantasy—resilience, fellowship, and a desire to make the world a better place—are all here. It’s wonderfully wholesome, and I hope heralds the rise of a 'slice-of-life' sub-genre in modern fantasy.”—Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

“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

I really enjoyed this slice of life. I'm going to listen to this several more times, for sure.

Sweet masterpiece

Wished there was more. No grand adventure to slay the demon lord or uncover some big mystery. Just following one's dream and enjoying a nice cup of Joe. Great story with a great narrator.

Enjoyed it enough for a second Listen

I normally don’t like when the writer does the reading but this guy was good. This book is a feel good story, the kind of book that leaves you feeling warm and content. Rather like a hot cup of coffee on a cold winters day.

A must read and welcome addition to any library

This book is an absolute must have :) Not only is it comfortable and comforting, it's beautifully self contained and genuine. A masterclass of an example that fantasy doesn't have to be long or epic to be magnificent.

Fantasy Setting Slice of Life

It's a lovely, feel-good story. It beckons for a good cuppa, a cinnamon roll and a comfy couch. And of course, it's amazing when you get the author to narrate his book, especially when the author is a talented narrator!

Cozy and full of surprises

It somehow manages to avoid the tires cliches of the genre, and always bring the story back to the optimistic lean we sometimes need to hear.
