Fun story set in oregon reminding me a lot of how I grew up. It has a magical way about it that keeps you interested and engaging characters

Florence is a barista who has just lost her job in Portland and as it’s approaching the holidays, she returns to her family who live in the small Oregon coastal town of Windia.

She finds out that a rival has made an offer for her family’s coffee shop, The Yurt. Her grandmother and sister-in-law have turned down the handsome Samson’s offer. It’s all hands on deck as Florence plans a series of events to drum up business and gain support from the locals.

But both Florence and Samson have been drinking the magical Serendipity coffee blend that seems to have affected the townspeople. Suddenly love is all around.

Is the attraction between Florence and Samson just because of the magical beans or is it for real.

This is a cute, somewhat magical read set in the charming Pacific North West. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it 🧚‍♀️🪄📖

What a lovely little read! Beautifully paced with just the right about of subtle witchy goodness and romance. I got through this fairly quickly and honestly love how sweet this story is! I was getting hallmark movie vibes throughout (if you know, you know) Just the perfect book to cozy up to with a mug of coffee 😋

Florence is back in Windia, the small town she grew up in. After losing her job she is back to help out in her family's coffee shop. There is a new rival in town, and despite her attraction to him, Florence has to stand up for her family.

Loved the characters, especially Pearl.

A short, fun read.

4 *stars*

When I read the first chapter I fell in love with this book. I have found my passion for coffee and after reading this book I will be researching more about coffee.

My thoughts: Really cute, I would say autumn read (it's not but it felt like it was) or better winter read with some hot beverage. I really like the family relationship through out the whole book. The witchy part gave the book some sort of spark or spice. I wished there was more romance between the two characters, it felt that the love came too fast. Other thing that was bothering me: if they have business for so long why do they buy coffee from the local shop instead of buying it in bulks and for a lot cheaper than the store provides….
Brief synopsis: enemies to lovers story. Cute witchy romance between barista, Florence Mackenzie, from Portland and stranger who comes into the town and make a buzz. Florence and her family are trying to protect family home and beloved coffee shop. Espresso Off challenge, sabotage and magic is involved in this story.

Grab some coffee and read this story. :)

Thank you for this book!
#WitchyCoffee #NetGalley

A fanciful coffee shop run by magical women. A barista that’s still trying to figure herself out. And a small town named Windia where the residents drink coffee and get into everyone’s business.

When a stranger shows up in town and puts her family’s coffee shop in jeopardy, Florence Mackenzie has to step in and do something to protect them, whether that’s an Espresso Off challenge, sabotage, or a good old fashioned banishment spell. But after the Mackenize women try to create a buzz by experimenting with a new blend of coffee beans, the residents of Windia suddenly start falling in love with each other. Florence chalks it up to the spirit of the holiday season, but when she starts falling in love (with the competition, no less) Florence starts to wonder if there’s something more bewitching in the air - or in the coffee?
Lovely story, a great storyline, interesting cast of characters and all capped off by skilful writing

Witchy Coffee was a kitschy comfy read with some great homey descriptions, cute characters and coffee-inspired contrivances that I could easily overlook in the name of a cheesy romance book. The touch of magic was very cute.

Florence Mackenzie was fired from her job just in time for Christmas. She returned to Win for Christmas and helped out in her family's coffee place. Samson Richards was in Windia to scout the area for his own coffee shop. He wanted to buy off the Mackenzie's coffee shop, but the Mackenzie women were determined to keep their shop and chase Samson away from Windia. Everything started to change when Florence used a new coffee blend - one with magic in every bean, making everyone falling in love. Business started booming, making the Mackenzies even more eager to get rid of Samson. But both Florence and Samson drank the coffee at the same time and was under the spell of the coffee bean.

Erin Ritch has one kind of an imagination to think and write this book. It is a romantic book, but with a witchy twist to it, which I find is very refreshing. It doesn't fully follow the cliche I usually find in romantic books. But I did find myself waiting for when the magic coffee bean would make an appearance. Ritch wrote it in such a subtle way. It puts the readers on the same page as the characters - they didn't realise it was happening until they started seeing something different. I would probably have preferred more magic (like fireworks or some sort) but the way Ritch wrote it works perfectly fine too. Loved reading this book!

Pour a hot cuppa and start reading this delightful para-witch story. I consider it a contemporary cozy mystery (without a murder).

The first paragraph made a great impression on me, and it was smooth sippin’ until the last word. The rugged, rainy Pacific Northwest winter setting of Portland, Oregon makes a cozy setting for The Yurt coffee shop customers to gaze out the windows at the ocean.

Protagonist, Florence Mackenzie is a barista who’s fired from Sam’s ‘Spresso coffee cart business prompting her to return home to Windia, Oregon and re-join the family’s coffee shop business, The Yurt. The business has had it’s ups and downs over the years, and is suddenly approached by a handsome man offering to buy them out. They refuse. Then, Pearl, Florence’s grandmother, tells her a secret that could destroy all they’ve worked for.

The fun begins when Flo unknowingly purchases some ‘magical’ coffee beans! Author Erin Ritch has several surprises up her sleeves that bring chuckles, mixed emotions, and healing vibes to Florence and her family members. The supporting cast is very appealing. The story would make a wonderful Hallmark Movie. The earth shattering ending is spectacular and a happy ending for all.

I honestly reviewed an un-edited digital arc provided by NetGalley, Books Go Social, and No Wyvern Publishing. All opinions are my own.

This was super lovely! It was a nice, quick read but didn't feel under-developed or under-written. This book is charming and cozy, and was exactly what I was hoping for based on the title and description.

This was so fun and wholesome and CUTE. I got major Gilmore Girls vibes - the story follows a family composed of a grandma, granddaughter, sister in law and niece - so we've got all the female bonding of Gilmore Girls. It also centers entirely around coffee in a small town.

The romance is pretty obvious and to be honest the book in general was very predictable, but in such a lovely calming way. I would love to read more stories like this!

In the small town of Windia where all of the residents drink coffee and become involved in the lives of each other, there is a coffee shop fun by magical women. Florence has recently come home for the holidays and immediately gets involved in the coffee shop that is owned by the family. A stranger shows up in town to bring competition that will put their coffee shop in je0pardy. Florence and her grandmother tried a banishment spell to run him off. In addition, Florence created a challenge between the two. The woman also started using a new blend of coffee beans which has made the residents start falling in love with each other. This is a fun story that I highly recommend.

Absolutely loved this. I love a story with witches and love at it's heart. Lots of examples of love friends family and new relationships.
Deals in grief and family loss.
A very quick easy read left me feeling cozy and warm.

This book was so cozy!!! It takes place around the Holiday time, but I promise you it could be read year-round! The relationship between our main character and her grandmother gives me Hocus Pocus vibes! If you love coffee and Hallmark cozy movies you will love this book!

This was such a cute read! Even though the majority of this book happens around Christmas and New Year's, it was still helping me to get into a Fall mood with all of its coziness and witchy vibes. Florence loses her job as a barista the day before she was due to travel back to her family home for the holidays. When she gets there she finds out someone (a quite handsome man named Samson) wants to buy out her family's coffee shop but there's more at stake than just their family business. Florence's grandmother, sister-in-law, niece and best friend all join Florence in doing everything they can to show that their coffee shop is the one that the residents of Windia want. Along the way, Florence may have introduced a new coffee blend that cast a love spell over the whole town, but who has time to worry about that! I *loved* all of their kooky events and magical interventions and the intense family love between these strong women. There were some really sweet and touching moments between Florence and Samson that contributed to the overall feel-good nature of this story. This is great for fans of magic, strong women, family and small town charm!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read a copy of this story!

Witchy Coffee by Erin Ritch is cozy and cuddly read, that can lift your festive spirit high! I really enjoyed reading it. It was a simple read with a sweet story.

Witchy Coffee follows Florence Mackenzie as she returns to her home town Windia, Oregon to help at the family coffee shop after being fired from her job. Shortly after arriving, she discovers that another coffee shop is trying to take over... none other than the son of the company that fired her. As Florence try to fight her competition and send him on his way out of town, she also needs to fight her connection towards him. If only fighting your feelings were that simple.

This snuggly holiday romance is perfect to cuddle up with on a cold day with your favorite cup of coffee. The rivalry between the MacKenzie ladies and Sam is laugh-out-loud funny at times and great fun. The mood and scenery settings of Windia is wonderful. I have loved all the characters through out the story and it involves perfect amount of magic in it. This was such a cute story and would make an adorable holiday rom-com film.

The romance was a little flat for me, the characters stated their feelings towards the end but I felt that they weren’t shown or explored throughout the book before then. The romance felt like it just needed more scenes with the love interests interacting and showing the reader the tension or the feelings they were feeling. For a supposed rivals to lovers story it was pretty sudden and flat to me.


The supporting characters shine with bright eccentric warmth, especially Pearl, the wise matriarch with a few magic tricks up her sleeves. More magic would have been welcome as it sometimes felt like an afterthought, but Pearl does her best to interject her unique quirks and rituals when necessary.


Overall, Witchy Coffee was enjoyable, and readers looking for a quick romantic escape with wholesome fun and a twist of magic should give it a try!

Witchy Coffee is one of those fun Coffee shop AU's that you day dream about. I'm here for it, I adored the authors writing the description of coffee. The town where Witchy Coffee the shop sits at sound's like a writers dream with enough gossip to keep the mind flowing. Overall this was a fund read. 4/5 stars.

Loved this romance and how fast paced it is. The characters were great and I loved where the story was located

Florence McKenzie is preparing to go home for the holidays but gets blindsided by her boss at the coffee shop she works at in Portland. Her boss fires her the day before she's supposed to leave for Windia. This book takes place in Oregon. Florence goes home every year to help at the family owned generational coffee shop called, "The Yurt". This time it's different. A new guy comes to town trying to buy out, " The Yurt" and let's just say the McKenzie woman give him a run for his money or so they believed. Florence and her grandmother,Pearl try to banish him with a banishment spell but it doesn't work. They try to. Banish him after they realize that Samson is not only their competition but he is also Florence's old boss' son. If you want to know how it ends, because I thought I had it figured out but, I was so wrong; READ IT for yourself.

My advice is to get yourself a big old cup of coffee (or tea if preferred) and somewhere cosy to give this book a read.

I really enjoyed the story throughout the book and I found it a cute comfort read. It is definitely a book I would pick up between epic fantasy’s as a sweet little reminder that contemporary books especially contemporary romance are actually amazing!


Thank you to netgalley and the publisher!

This book is good and easy to read. The thing is, I found Mackenzie clan to be quite childish. Wanting to protect your business, memory of the deceased is not wrong, but their way is just.. immature? Their family bond is admirable which made up to it 💖

Samson is very patience and understanding with them, yet they treat him badly. As for Florence, the one who makes her quit her job is Samson's dad, so I find the grudge is misplaced. Samson didn't have anything to do with her job. Samson is reasonable, caring and understanding; my favourite character in this book.

Also, I'm expecting a full romance book since the description did mention romance, but it's more female fiction with a little romance, which the romance feels flat and rushed. Apart from that, the magic is too little to my liking even though it was hinted that the Mackenzie especially Pearl is a witch. The ending is adorable and quite unexpected 😂

Anyway, this is such a cozy and cute read which other people will surely love and I do enjoy reading it but it wasn't really for me. Would recommend this book to someone who's in need of light and fun read.

Cute and very enjoyable. Light read. Kept me enthralled. I will admit to giggling a few times. Definitely something I'd do a reread on.

This book delivers what it promises! It is wholesome and warm with a sprinkle of magic! I love how the witch line is not overused, but it is a well developed but subtle aspect all along the story.
I found Samson not that interesting, but I so enjoyed all the other characters! I love that we have a full cast of strong female characters who work together and not against each other.
I don't really care for coffee, but the descriptions of the cakes had me drooling.

Great book! Cozy seasonal read! It was very fun and comforting! This book was excellently written. It’s a great autumn read.

I really loved this romance and how fast paced it is. The characters were fantastic and the family drama had me interested to find out what would happen next.

This charming "witchy" romance was a quick and uncomplicated read.

A typical enemies-to-lovers story, the plot was much lighter on magic than I was expecting. In fact, there wasn't much blatant "witchiness" until the concluding moments of the novel.

Think more "Simply Irresistible" than "Charmed."

But the quirky small-town vibes were pleasant enough, and made the novel read like the most enchanting of Hallmark movies.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Lacey Chabert starring in the film version of the book, in a new Hallmark film series called "Spellbinding Summer Nights."

A fun and cozy read. It's more a contemporary romance than a paranormal romance. The paranormal twists were subtle and not overly present. On the whole a good and enjoyable read. The plot , characters especially florrence were all so good. The author's style was so clear and precise.Weekends would be a best time to read this book !

This was a sweet book. The characters were quirky and interesting, and the small town well described. I liked the fantasy aspects, it was quick read.

I recommend this book to those that enjoy witchy romances and are looking for a new series to start. I’ll be on the lookout for the next book in the series. 4 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

I've always wanted to go to Portland and after reading this book...I MUST. I was looking for a book to kick off my spooky season and I'm so happy I found this book. Caffeine, witchy and romance. The perfect combination for a spellbinding book. It screams rom com. I loved it. If you're looking for a quick simple read that gives you Hallmark feels this is it.

Loved it. I have visited Portland a few times as a teenager and now have to go back! Such a good read. Enjoyed every page

Witchy Coffee might have come out in the fall, but it's the perfect holiday read. Erin Ritch makes the reader wish that they could take a vacation to the Pacific Northwest and visit this little town where magic is happening. Ritch truly brought each character to life and gave them the perfect world to live in. I can only hope that she writes a sequel to this!

When I think of romance, think of books just like this one, that gives all the feels and satisfies every romance junkies' heart. This is a perfect books to snuggle up with on any day. This one took by surprise!

This book was supplied to me by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

The characters in this book really shined through. The was not one character here I did not like. I started off disliking some characters but they were so well written that it was difficult to hold on to the distaste I had.

The Yurt would be on my bucket list to visit if it existed. The feeling of friendship community and love that comes from bit only the Yurt but from the town itself.

I loved this book and felt warm and comforted from beginning to end.

This book was so cute! A perfect mix of rom-com with a sprinkle of witchy magic that left me wanting more. Here is the summary from Goodreads:

"A fanciful coffee shop run by magical women. A barista that’s still trying to figure herself out. And a small town named Windia where the residents are into everyone’s business.

A clean witchy romance set on the enchanting Oregon coastline, Witchy Coffee is filled to the brim with magical hijinks, an authentic enemies-to-lovers romance, and the cozy atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest during the holidays. Settle in with a coffee and slip away to the little town of Windia, where the forest meets the sea and there’s a promise of magic in every corner. "

The characters were adorable and the romance was absolutely swoon-worthy. Highly recommend!

This book was so cute, it gave that romance feeling which was so uplifting. I would definitely reread this book over and over again for the happy feeling it gave.

Witchy Coffee by Erin Ritch is one of those books that you can't help but love. It has all those great things that make you swoon with just the right amount of magic to uplift your spooky tbr with something to break up all the nightmare inducing reads. It's been a while since I read an entire book in just a few hours, but I couldn't get enough of this quirky romance.

Thank you netgalley and Erin Ritch and BooksGoSocial for the gifted ARC copy.

Florence is getting ready for her Christmas vaca home when her world starts to crumble. She's fired from her beloved barista job and is pretty steamed about it (ha! See what I did there). When she returns to town only to find a stranger attempting to put her family's livelihood in jeopardy, her competitive nature comes out. Unusual circumstances in town start to really shake things up and suddenly love is in the air. The question Florence has to ask herself is can she put her family and their business in front of her own needs and will she lose her shot at true love in the process?

There were so many things to love about this story. The family bonds, the enemies to lovers trope, the coming into oneself themes, there wasn't much I didn't like. Yes the plot was a little predictable, and grandma Pearl was a little cheesy, but even the subtle hints of magic seeping it's way in was just the right touch to make this a great fall read. It was the perfect break up in my spooky tbr to break out the giggles and feel the power of love forming. Plus the story had coffee and witches, so it was great right from the start.

I gave the book a solid 4 stars. It had me laughing out loud and feeling all the feels. This is a great read for a rainy fall afternoon, and it pairs well with my fall favorite, a pecan praline latte. Oh, and right now it's free with Kindle Unlimited, so go grab it ( you can thank me later)!

I received an eARC of Witchy Coffee by Erin Ritch from Books GO Social and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!
5 stars! This was a whimsical, light read with a "Practical Magic" vibe. Love it!

As a coffeeholic, he title alone piqued my interest. A fun read with quirky characters and a paranormal vibe. From the cover I thought this book would take place around maybe Valentine's Day but the characters were celebrating the holiday season up to New Years. Overall, an enjoyable story. I'd love to read more by this author.

Florence and Samson's relationship started on a rough patch, although they tried very hard to ignore the instant chemistry between them. But with magic in the air and the family, there was no doubt cupid was in the midst. It was an enjoyable and entertaining fun package.

Witchy Coffee is a fun, quick read and perfect if you’re looking for an enemies to lovers romance! It was cute and easy to get into.

Two of my favorite things in the title and there's instant love. This book gave me all the feels: small town romance, small town busy bodies, coffee (you can never have enough IMO), and magic. I enjoyed this book.

‘So we’ve infected our town with magic love beans?’ You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy coffee and that’s kind of the same thing especially when you throw in a laugh out loud book centered around a coffee yurt like this one.

The writing in this book was phenomenal. I would never believe this was the author's debut novel. The writing style has such a perfect flow with a great combination of dialogue and internal monologues. I also loved the way the plot unfolded, Beautifully written with good characters and dialogue. It's a very detailed book with interwoven characters with good character development. The driving force behind this though is the story, it moves effortlessly and is so engaging
