This list is a comfort-reads pantry of low-stakes fantasy where food and drink are the magic. Every pick centers a kitchen, café, tea room, coffee bar, bakery, cocktail or anything food as the heart of the story, with conflicts that stay gentle, community-minded plots, and endings that leave you soothed rather than stressed. Cozy, sensory escapes and character growth over battles!

I feel like The Heartbreak Bakery by A.R. Capetta would fit on here well
Ooo yes! Added it in đ
I'm sure it's the same for many people, but I need this list so much in my life right now. Thank you for putting it together!
