A cozy shop story puts the heroine behind a counter. A teashop, a coffee house, a bookshop. The shop is home base. Customers come in with problems, the regulars become friends, and the plot never strays far from the kettle.
Most of these books start with someone starting over. She inherits the shop, or takes it on after her life falls apart, and has to make it work. Expect witches, a lot of tea, and at least one cat with opinions about how the place is run.
