Cafes

Cafes are eateries that serve food and drinks. Their relaxed, comfortable atmospheres and flexible operating hours make them very popular. Unlike restaurants, which often serve formal meals, cafes tend to have relaxed menu items like sandwiches and light meals. Art exhibitions and other cultural events can be scheduled to encourage community engagement. The term is distinct from the sterile "Coffee Shop" which has a more enduring meaning both in Australia and the UK.
