coffee dates
Romantic caffeine rendezvous
Coffee dates are casual meetings, typically romantic or potentially romantic, held at a coffee shop.
The format signals low commitment—shorter than dinner, cheaper, easier to exit if things go poorly.
We matched online and scheduled a coffee date for Saturday.
The term extends to any informal one-on-one meeting over coffee: I have a coffee date with my sister this afternoon.
