The Baby Dragon Cafe

Thanks to Avon books and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ahead of release. Due to be published 16/01/2025

Absolutely love the idea of owning a baby dragon 🤩 and can imagine the chaos that would follow from taking it out and about. I did go to a cat cafe once and was mobbed by a gang of tabbies. Nobody was scorched though!! If dragons were real then a dragon cafe would be great fun!!

I liked the idea that Saphira had had a dream that she worked hard to build for herself no matter the hardship. She's a great character who you can't help but like. Her love for baby dragons, particularly Sparky, takes her on a great journey of self discovery and live. Her love for her grandmother and the need to keep her memory alive is sweet and endearing. Family is so important and despite her losses, Saphira does her absolute best to celebrate family.

The story is a slow burn that's filled with detail that keeps you interested throughout.

Aiden is initially an odd character and I was worried we'd have turbulence as a result of his initial reluctance to engage. However, things progress nicely and it ends up as a real feel good story.

Definitely looking forward to more in the baby dragon series....

I love Aamna and everything she writes, i had so much fun reading it, the plot was beautiful, the writing gorgeous and flowy like always and characters absolutely adorable. I genuinely can't thank Aamna enough for writing and making predominantly white concepts for brown girlies, Her books are truly what every single 12 year old desi girl needs.
Starshine Valley is a place i wanna live in, the dragons, the incredible people and the stories already have my heart. This is one of those romantasies where you are happy and giggling through out the book and even though it's all fluff the characters are really well written, their personal arcs so beautifully put together that i wanted to keep on reading forever.

Thank you Avon and Aamna Qureshi ( for the proof copy lmao ) for the Arc and for making me a part of the baby dragon club.

The Baby Dragon Cafe is the cutest cosy fantasy.
I loved Saphira's bond with Sparky and Aiden. I was originally drawn to this book because of it's name and the blurb had me intrigued. It follows Saphira who own's The Baby Dragon Cafe as she helps Aiden train his new baby dragon Sparky. As you can guess, sparks do fly between Saphira and Aiden but it is so well done. I didn't want to put it down.
I'm so glad that I got to read it as it was just as cosy as I suspected.
100% recommend this brilliantly cosy read. Definitely looking forward to both The Baby Dragon Bakery and The Baby Dragon Bookshop.

First the cover how stunning so pretty
Second baby dragons adorable baby dragons
This was such a cute read
I read it in one sitting it was so adorable I really enjoyed it
I would definitely be spending all my time at the drags cafe
Lovely characters a unique fun story a beautiful setting
A fun filled sweet story

This book is the perfect combination of ‘The Pumpkin Spice Café’ and ‘Fourth Wing’ !!! Seriously, a café for baby dragons? TOO CUTE!!! 🥰🥰

I loved the main characters, the typical Grumpy x Sunshine! I enjoyed watching their romance and the characters develop. I loved Sparky, the grumpiest and cutest baby dragon ever. This story is set in spring and is perfect for the beginning of the year! 💙
I loved the ending and the epilogue was even more perfect!

The only thing I didn't like was the fact that they were interrupted about 5 times when they were about to have their first kiss haha

I think this was a very cute pleasant read, its a slow burn romance, there isn't any spice for people that prefer there stories spice-free then is the book for you. Its a small town setting with mentions of other mythical creatures too.
Its about Saphira who owns a Dragon Cafe (which i would love to be able to do by the way), she is unable to have a dragon of her own, so this is her way to be closer to them, until she gets a great offer from the local heart throb Aiden, who is abit of a grump, to train his dragon.

Binged this book in two nights, it was such a cute read!

I loved the two main characters and their chemistry developing between them was *chefs kiss* I adored Sparky, he was so adorable and cute, I loved how he brought the couple together, he was the real mvp, I hope we get to see them again in the next book as well!

Wonderfully written and a fantastic book to read to get me out of my reading slump, I'm looking forwards to The Baby Dragon Bakery next year!

I would very much like to visit the baby dragon cafe. I don't think I would leave ahaha. 🍂☕️🐉

some of the menu items made me jealous of a fictional cafe!

Saphira was such a sweet character, you could see her dreams and feel how much she wanted to accomplish them and she was so easy to root for! Aiden was such a sweetheart too. he was a shy, anxious little thing ahah and I really liked seeing him gain more confidence throughout the book. I thought their chemistry was fab and I was relived to see them communicate rather than hold it in and it cause problems at the end. they supported and helped each other thought out and it built a really nice foundation for them. I just loved how drama free it was!

the baby dragons, aww so cute! such a cool concept too. sparky was filled with such attitude, he was hilarious.

it's a perfect cute, quick little cozy read. its not too heavy, its the perfect combination of fluffy and meaningful.

thank you netgalley and Avon books UK for the arc! all opinions are my own 🫶🏼

The *perfect* cosy romantasy book to curl up with and read! Think rom-com friendship, with a sprinkle of magical fantasy infused into the story, we follow a duel-POV following a cafe owner, who’s dream has always been to open a Baby Dragon Cafe, and a baby dragon owner, from a distinguished dragon owning family - with no clue how to train it!
We see a slow burn friends to lovers romance, with some adorable fantasy additions, the baby dragons really bring the cosy town feels to life, and I’d love to visit! Perfect for fans of the Pumpkin Spice Cafe, think romance small town vibes with a magical backdrop and storyline, I can’t wait to see how this series develops! I didn’t want to put this down & wished there was more!

if you loved how to train a dragon and you wanted more in fourh wing from andarna this is your book.
it's the perfect book for a rainy day with a cup of tea.

i loved everything about this book.
You have a small dragon that needs to be trained
a coffeeshop owner
the grumpy owner of the dragon

Aiden was such a grumpy unless he was with her... and seeing Sparky being jealous and protective of Saphira like his owner was just so funny.

the slow burn was chef kiss and Sparky just being this cute small dragon acting like a kid/teenager

LOVED LOVED THIS
