How to Read The Little Duck Pond Cafe Series

Rosie Green’s heartwarming series centered around the bustling, friendly Little Duck Pond Cafe has captured the hearts of cozy romance readers since its debut in 2018. Set in the fictional, picture-perfect village of Sunnybrook, the series is known for its sweet romance, tight-knit community, and characters who are always ready for a second chance at life. Because the series is incredibly prolific—with 48 books published as of 2026—getting started can feel a bit daunting. Here is our complete, practical guide to navigating the series.

Where to Start: The Recommended Reading Path

While many of the books in the series feature standalone romances focusing on different members of the community, they are highly interconnected. The best way to read The Little Duck Pond Cafe series is in publication order. Reading the books as they were released allows you to watch the village of Sunnybrook grow, follow the overarching development of recurring side characters, and avoid minor spoilers regarding who ends up with whom.

Your absolute best starting point is the book that launched the series: Spring at The Little Duck Pond Cafe. In this debut novella, we meet Ellie Farmer as she flees a disastrous relationship breakdown and finds herself starting over in Sunnybrook, eventually helping to revive the local cafe.
