Welcome to the Cafe
We’re so glad you’re here.
The Literary Cafe is a humble consortium of writers and friends and generations who love travel, books, food and have a natural curiosity about the world. Our content is meant to share at gatherings, books clubs or over coffee with a friend or inspire you to discover something new.
