All-day café

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An all-day café is a dining establishment that generally serves distinct menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, switching from a casual, work-friendly atmosphere for breakfast and lunch to a more formal menu and setting in the evening.[1][2][3] The restaurants remain open between courses, offering drinks including coffee, and food including pastries and small plates. All-day cafés tend to serve health-conscious menus, with an emphasis on vegetables. Several founders of all-day establishments have expressed a desire to provide a communal "third place" where, for instance, freelancers would feel comfortable.[4]

Examples include Dimes and Gertie in New York City, Res Ipsa in Philadelphia, and Fellows Cafe in Atlanta.[5][6] This type of restaurant is said to have originated in Australian "coffee bars", which were imported to California by Australian expatriates.[1][4]
