breakfast bar

Kitchen eating ledge

A breakfast bar is a counter or narrow table, typically at standing or stool height, used for quick informal meals.

In home kitchens, it often extends from a countertop or island, separating the cooking area from living space: We grabbed coffee at the breakfast bar before heading out.

The term also refers to a packaged snack—a granola bar or similar portable food marketed as a light morning meal.
