coffee shops

Where baristas work

Coffee shops are establishments serving coffee and other beverages, typically with light food like pastries or sandwiches.

They function as casual social spaces for conversation, work, or solitary reading: I'll meet you at the coffee shop on Main Street.

In the Netherlands, coffee shop specifically denotes a licensed cannabis retailer, distinct from a café serving actual coffee.
