A cafe scene is the social atmosphere and culture surrounding coffeehouses in a particular area, especially one known for artists, writers, or intellectuals gathering in such establishments.

Paris was famous for its cafe scene in the 1920s.

The term can also refer to a depicted moment set in a cafe—a painting, photograph, or film sequence showing people in such a setting.
