A coffee shop is a casual establishment that primarily serves coffee and other beverages, such as tea and smoothies. These shops often offer a variety of pastries, snacks, and light meals. Customers can enjoy their drinks on-site or take them to go. Many coffee shops provide a cozy atmosphere with seating areas for socializing, studying, or working. In addition to beverages and food, coffee shops frequently feature free Wi-Fi and may host events like open mic nights or art displays. Popular chains include Starbucks and Dunkin', but many local shops offer unique blends and a personalized experience.
