An important genre question: Does Legends & Lattes count as a Coffee Shop AU of bog-standard high fantasy?
On the one hand, it has a bog-standard high fantasy setting, one that just happens to have a coffee shop (it’s an exotic drink imported from gnomish sources), which means it’s not actually an Alternate Universe. On the other hand, the story leans on several tropes of Coffee Shop AUs.
Please discuss.
It is, btw, a nice, cozy story. Recommended if you want one of those right now. I did.
