Story4.5 out of 5 stars 28
Years ago, Flora fled the quiet Scottish island where she grew up - and she hasn't looked back. What would have done on Mure? It's a place where everyone has known her all her life, where no one will let her forget the past. In bright, bustling London, she can be anonymous, ambitious...and hopelessly in love with her boss. But when fate brings Flora back to the island, she's suddenly swept once more into life with her brothers - all strapping, loud, and seemingly incapable of basic housework - and her father.

A feel good romcom
This story was so charming. A young woman gets fired from her corporate job and decides to open her own bakery/ cafe using her grandfather's recipes. There are real recipes featured in the beginning of the chapters that are later relevant to the story. The descriptions were so mouth watering. I also loved the characters. They were lovable with realistic motivations. I felt like this was something that could have happened to my friends. Cupcake cafe also managed to to ugh on serious issues will still managing to be lighthearted. But I think that why I found this story so relatable. They dealt with their problems as a family.
Although it is in the romance category, I would describe this more as "slice of life" with a romance on the side. The story did not revolve around the heroine finding love, but more about finding herself and rebuilding her life.
Michelle Ford was wonderful. I adored her charming British accent.

a fun bit of fluff
Sometimes you just want to listen to something young and fun, that isn't annoyingly written. This is that kind of book. i'd give it 3-4 stars.

Lovely story
Definitely not a romance, but a fantastic story.
The bulk of the book is about Izzy, a sweet, sometimes frustrating, truly kind woman trying trying to find happiness in life. Sounds boring, right? Well it’s not. The writing is incredibly engaging, and the characters are so very relatable you can’t help but care for them.
This isn’t just about Izzy, though. Pearl, Helena, Austin and even selfish Graham each have their own stories to tell, woven through the main theme of life, choices, and change.
Michelle Ford is a great reader. Each character was recognizable, and that’s got to be tough for a large cast. My favorite part was Caroline’s recipe; I knew who it was instantly, even before all the odd ingredients were read, and it made me laugh. Kudos!

Cute story, fun read, delicious recipes
Where does Meet Me at the Cupcake Cafe rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I liked it a lot, but it isn't one of my very favorites of all of the Audible books I have listened to. I liked this the best of all of this author's books. I find her books get a little overdrawn by the end, after good characters and good story and development, but somehow they lose their way a little. I listen as I drive and I drive a lot, so her books are fun for the most part but this is the only one I have kept in my library.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I liked this lead character a lot because she actually cares about her Grandfather and isn't just angry at the world and judging everyone for half the book...I find this author's female leads a little whiny and strident and nit-picking for the first few chapters. Just as I am about to say "I quit! I can't stand this character for one more chapter!" the lead character gets more developed and likable and starts to show some gumption and I stick it out for a good story till she starts to wrap it up and they all get a little off track again. But I like her books enough to keep trying them!
What about Michelle Ford’s performance did you like?
This has been the best narrator of all of Jenny Colgan's books. She did a good job bringing each of the characters to life.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Life can be delicious if you just start baking
Any additional comments?
If you want to try one of this author's books, this is the most well-rounded one and really an enjoyable listen.

A perfect read for hard times!
Such a lovely book! I’m usually not a romance genre fan (usually too trite and predictable,) but the characters and the triumph of a girl creating her dream of prividpiece of Sweet recipes and well developed and real characters. And the narrator’s voice was perfect for this; especially Izzy’s voice. Her voice brought out the sheer sweetness of the story: family, friends, dear children, fulfilling dreams and of course, love. Not too sickly sweet, just lovely. I truly enjoyed reading a book that was (mostly) empty of meaness, that was a feel-good book but also well written, and real and believable. And then there are the cupcakes... I truly enjoyed every minute of it!

I wish the Cupcake Cafe was near me!
I have to love that the women in the story are of all shapes and sizes, and are all described as beautiful. This story is sweet and suspenseful and lovely. Sometimes, it’s even laugh out loud funny! The characters are rich and varied and intriguing. No one is perfect; they are human and delightful. Except the baddie. He is not delightful! I also have to say that the narration is spot-on. I love it when they get kids’ voices right.
