Cafes

About the Cafés heading in Yellow Pages®

Cafés refer to small restaurants, also known as coffee shops. Cafés serve both dine-in and takeaway hot and cold beverages, cakes and pastries and light meals. Less formal than restaurants, cafés operate via table service or customers order at the register before sitting.

Breakfast and lunch are available at cafés, serving hot cooked meals and takeaway sandwiches, salads, pies and more. Some cafés are open for dinner and are licensed to serve alcohol. Menu items are lighter than restaurant fare and special children’s meals are offered. Providing takeaway coffee is part of a café’s business, such as serving coffee in the morning to people on their way to work.

Some cafés offer takeaway food and drink only, while others provide seating inside and outside. Outdoor café seating can be on the pavement outside the business, or on adjacent terraces or balconies. Cafés are utilised for a variety of functions, including Christmas, engagement or other parties, corporate events, wine tastings or exhibitions. To cater for a booked function, a café can be closed to the general public.

Cafés are numerous in Australia and can differ regionally. A café in Melbourne, for instance, might have indoor seating and an open fire, while a café in Sydney might have an abundance of outdoor seating to take advantage of warmer temperatures. Search with Yellow Pages® to find a number of cafés in all states in Australia.
