The Macha Maker Cafe – ARC Book Review

Quick Review:- would have been better if this book was written as a first person POV rather than using third person, then the readers could really connect with the main character, Sasha.

Rating:- 3.5/5

The only person harder to match than her clients . . . is the matchmaker herself.

The Matcha Maker Café is a sweet, small-town slow-burn romance set in a charming matcha cafe, perfect for readers who love Laurie Gilmore, B.K. Borison and the gentle magic of Before the Coffee Gets Cold.

At Matcha Moments, owner Sasha Lee is a star matchmaker, helping customers find love over a smooth cup of matcha. You’d think that as the master she’d be living her fairytale ending, but Sasha is allergic to commitment.

With a growing reputation, her successes are challenged when the ‘unmatchable’ Ben walks in – a man who believes he’s too boring for love. As Sasha tries to match him, she slowly finds herself drawn to his quiet charm.

As their daily banter becomes the highlight of her day, Sasha must confront the possibility that her own love story might be brewing. Will she embrace the unexpected romance, or let her past fears keep her from true love?

This is a cute, cozy small town romance which I did enjoy reading.

Sasha owns a matcha cafe and her cafe specializing in something unique–using matcha bubbles, she could predict and do matchmaking to her clients. Her matchmaking cases had been successful as she helped clients to find their true love. But Ben, walks in and when Ben wants her to do a matcha matchmaking service, Sasha couldn’t really intrude his thoughts. In fact, Sasha couldn’t help but has feelings towards this new handsome customer. Meanwhile Sasha despite having a huge customer base and community support, she has to extend her lease but if her lease isn’t extended then she would have to stop this matchmaking business and then close down the cafe.

This was actually cute and lovely story in my opinion. I think I like how the whole community is supporting Sasha even though she is being threatened about the lease and forced to give up on her cafe. There were not too much drama and might be a perfect read for someone who likes reading romance in cozy setting. My issue is if this book was written in the first person POV, maybe we could have gotten more feelings and shared Sasha’s thoughts and feelings.

Overall this is worth 3.5 stars.

Many thanks to Netgalley and PanMacmillan. The review is based on my honest opinion only.
