Coffee Shop AU is a fanfiction trope that became popular in LiveJournal fandoms, but has migrated with fans to other platforms.
The trope was originally known as Barista AU and is closely-related to the Bakery AU.
In most cases, one half of the main pairing is the barista and the other is or becomes their favorite customer; in some stories the whole cast works at a coffee shop.
