/ˈkɒfi bɑː(r)//ˈkɔːfi bɑːr/

The term "coffee bar" emerged in the mid-20th century, primarily associated with European coffeehouses that were known as "cafès" or "caffe". These establishments were iconic cultural hubs where people would gather for intellectual and social engagement over a cup of coffee. The term "bar" in "coffee bar" was adopted from the Italian word "bar" which refers to a counter or a stand where food and drinks are served. This term was popularized in Italy during the early 1900s when coffeehouses began selling coffee drinks from a standing bar rather than traditional tables and chairs. The phrase "coffee bar" was adopted by American restaurants and cafes in the 1950s, inspired by the European cafe culture. Today, "coffee bars" refer to establishments specializing in coffee drinks, particularly espresso-based ones, that prioritize quality coffee beans, artisanal brewing techniques, and a relaxed ambiance for customers to enjoy their drinks and socialize.
