coffee date
Casual caffeinated encounter
A coffee date is a casual meeting, typically romantic or potentially romantic, where two people get together at a café to talk and gauge compatibility.
It's the low-stakes default for first dates—public, brief, inexpensive, and easy to exit: We matched on Hinge and set up a coffee date for Saturday.
The term also applies to friendly catch-ups: I have a coffee date with my old college roommate.
