Publisher's summary

"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.

A great first book!

I already enjoyed Travis Baldree for his reading on the Cradle series.
That's why I bought a book that was 6 hours shorter than I will typically spend a credit on.
I'm so glad I did. The story was sweet and uplifting while not shirking away from darkness. this is a great story about building a new life and choosing to live in a new way.

Delightful!

If you want a fantasy full of swashbuckling and epic battles, this book is NOT for you. But if you want a fantasy with interesting characters, a lot of heart, and even more coffee, you will love this one! It’s a classic example of “cozy fantasy”, and will leave you with a warm feeling. I really loved it!

delightfully cozy

I found this while looking for a new story at work. This has to be the most delightful fantasy setting I've had in awhile. I could feel the atmosphere and taste the pastries basically. To the author a thank you for this story and to others please listen it's not a waste.

Excellent short story by Travis Baldree

Travis Baldree is already an accomplished audible presenter and this original story of his own is creative and well done. Imagine, what do adventures do when they retire? It could spark a whole new genre.

Just Great

Always been a great narrator this first book by Baldree does not disappoint. A fun light hearted story which is a great break from the traditional hard hitting fantasy/litrpg genre. Highly recommended

amazing D&D Cozy Read

I saw this as a recommendation on a D&D discord and thought I'd give it a go. It reminds me a bit of a Hallmark movie with TTRPG flare. I loved it.

I love his voice and how he reads his characters! And I can't forget the phrase buttery light. This guy is an ambiance wizard.
