About this listen

"Even nonfantasy listeners will enjoy hanging out at the intersection of coffeehouse culture and Dungeons & Dragons, and hope that Baldree fails to shake his new writing habit." - The Seattle Times

This program is read by the author.

The much-beloved BookTok sensation, Travis Baldree's
Legends & Lattes, is novel of high fantasy and low stakes.

Come take a load off at Viv's cafe, the first & only coffee shop in Thune. Grand opening!


Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv, the orc barbarian, cashes out of the warrior’s life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen.

However, her dreams of a fresh start filling mugs instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune’s shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To finally build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners, and a different kind of resolve.

A hot cup of fantasy, slice-of-life with a dollop of romantic froth.

Critic reviews

"This is a story about following your dreams, even when they take you away from who you thought you had to be. It's sweet, beautiful and, most of all, kind. I hugely recommend this book."—Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of Every Heart A Doorway

Legends & Lattes is a uniquely beautiful book. Its cast of endearing characters have no interest at all in killing one another. There is no Great Evil, no bloody battles, and yet the pillars of great fantasy—resilience, fellowship, and a desire to make the world a better place—are all here. It’s wonderfully wholesome, and I hope heralds the rise of a 'slice-of-life' sub-genre in modern fantasy.”—Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

“Take a break from epic battles and saving the world. Legends & Lattes is a low-stakes fantasy that delivers exactly what's advertised: a wholesome, cozy novel that feels like a warm hug. This is my new comfort read.”—Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart

Featured Article: Best of the Year—The 12 Best Fantasy Listens of 2022


Between film, television, literature, and audio—2022 could easily be proclaimed the Year of the Fantasy, much to the delight of fans among us. But when it came to picking the best of the best, the glut of fantastic content also significantly increased the CR (challenge rating). This year’s winner edged ahead of the rest thanks to its atmospheric, suck-you-in (pun intended) audio experience, but every performance on this list transported us.

We need more cozy Fantasy books like this

I’ve loved Travis Baldree’s narration since discovering the Cradle series, and this book piqued my interest, not knowing he was also an author. I’m so glad I gave this a try, as the story is like a warm hug - or maybe mug (of coffee) - on a cold night.

The stakes are low, the characters are wonderful, and the story is sweet. The narration is great of course, though I’ll admit I somewhat expected the narrator to have written the story so as to give himself some over-the-top characters to voice. Kind of like a narrators vanity project. But that wasn’t the case at all. Not that there weren’t characters with charming voices, but the author “understood the assignment”. I’m incredibly impressed with his talent, and am excited to know he working on a sequel following a different character from this story. Count me in!

Also, writers & publishers, if you’re listening: more low stakes cozy Fantasy books like this please!

I don't give many '5's

I was genuinely surprised at how much I liked this story. Always enjoyed Travis Baldree's narration, but had no idea he could write. Fun story, likeable characters, and (hopefully) a great start to a series?

New beginnings, fresh coffee, good luck!

A cozy comfort read that's going to make your mouth water!

Narrator Travis Baldree debuts as an author with this lovely story featuring an ex-warrior who's ready for a new calling.

This hits the sweet spot for everyday adventure in a high fantasy setting. Perfect for fans of DIY renovation, friendship-centric stories, and, of course, coffee!

such a great listen!

So much respect for Travis Baldree. This was a super sweet and cozy lit RPG. I felt like I wanted to live in this world where everyone gets to discover love and friendship and coffee and pastries together.

Good, straightforward, and simple.

Lady wants a coffee shop, so she makes herself a damn coffee shop. Pretty good, all in all. Although a little bit Disney in its approach to conflict.
