pavement cafe

Outdoor streetside eatery

A pavement cafe is a restaurant or coffee shop with outdoor seating on the sidewalk, typically with small tables and chairs arranged along the street.

The term is primarily British; Americans would say sidewalk cafe.

We sat at a pavement cafe watching the crowds go by.
