Your Guide to Cafe Tables
Cafe tables — sometimes called bistro tables — are compact dining tables designed for two, making them ideal for small kitchens, breakfast nooks, studio flats, and balconies where a full dining table won't fit. They bring the charm of a Parisian sidewalk cafe into your home: a small table, two chairs, a coffee and a croissant.
Round, square, and occasionally oval tops in sizes from 60cm to 80cm across suit everything from a quick morning coffee to an intimate dinner. Materials range from marble and solid wood to powder-coated metal and weather-resistant aluminium for outdoor use. Many designs fold flat against the wall when not in use, reclaiming valuable floor space in compact homes.
Style & Trends
Round marble-topped cafe tables with a single pedestal base are a timeless choice — they suit Parisian-inspired, modern, and traditional interiors equally well. For outdoor balconies and small patios, a metal bistro set in matte black or sage green creates a charming continental feel. In kitchens, a wooden cafe table pushed against a wall with two stools creates a casual breakfast bar. Pair a slim cafe table with lightweight chairs or stools that tuck completely underneath to maximise floor space when the table isn't in use.
What to Look For
Simple cafe tables start from £50–£100 for metal or basic wood designs. Marble and solid hardwood tops cost £120–£300. Folding wall-mounted cafe tables run £40–£120 and are ideal for very tight spaces. For comfortable dining, standard height should be 73–76cm to match most chairs (43–47cm seat height). Round tables with a pedestal base give more legroom than four-legged designs in small spaces. If using outdoors, ensure the materials are weather-resistant — powder-coated aluminium and treated teak handle British weather best.
Quick Checklist
