cafe seating

Tables outside coffeehouse

Cafe seating refers to the arrangement of tables and chairs at a cafe or restaurant, typically small round or square tables with lightweight chairs positioned close together.

The term often describes outdoor seating on sidewalks or patios: We grabbed the last cafe seating before the lunch rush.

In event planning or office design, cafe seating indicates a casual, bistro-style layout rather than formal rows or conference arrangements.
