cafe area

Seating for patrons

A cafe area is a designated space within a larger building—an office, library, hospital, or store—where people can get coffee, snacks, or light meals and sit to eat or socialize.

Unlike a full cafe, which is a standalone business, a cafe area is typically a small amenity zone: The office building has a cafe area on the ground floor.
