These books about magical cafes/coffee shops/etc ALWAYS have identical plots, to the point where I could probably write one:

A character (usually a young woman) is upset/unhappy with her life, generally after the death of a family member, a breakup, or similar large life event gone wrong. Character then happens to stumble upon a store that wasn’t there last time they looked-magical! Also always set in Japan
