You know what else sucks? Not just that sea of cars ruining your view, but all that extra pavement causing everything to get hotter than normal (or see pic below)
I have cafes near me that all have outdoor seating right next to the parking lot too, but it’s always empty because it’s too damn hot because of the parking lot and noise. Not to mention nobody wants to deal with smelling exhaust fumes while they are eating…

For a moment I thought this is in my neighbourhood. These plazas are all the same throughout North America.
haha, I had the same reaction
It’s a little sad. Feels like a coffee jail.
Replacing that parking space with trees and it would the perfect outdoor cafe.
Look at all that wasted space, it could well be at least 3-4 more parking spots! /jk
They could at least put up some umbrellas, I’d be oven baked so fast. And who doesn’t love exhaust fumes while you’re eating?
So romantic.
The perfect spot to take in a spongy croissant and $12 coffee that somehow tastes like battery acid and piss that came from a broken home.
typical suburban garbage. so much effort spent making things no one wants.
It has a nice view of a suburban strip mall and a parking lot. Who doesn’t love NOx in the air
