habitués

Devoted repeat customers

Habitués is the plural of habitué, a person who frequents a particular place: the habitués of the café, habitués of the jazz club.

The word carries a French flavor and suggests regular, familiar presence—someone who belongs to the scene rather than merely visiting.

It implies comfort and familiarity with a venue's culture.
