Looking for stylish and durable cafe tables that reflect the identity of your coffee shop or bistro? At Tablemaker, we craft premium-quality, solid oak cafe tables and table tops designed specifically for commercial spaces. Whether you’re fitting out a high-street café or a boutique coffee shop, our tables offer the ideal blend of elegance, endurance, and customisability.
Built to order in our London workshop, our solid oak cafe tables are trusted by coffee shops and fit-out contractors across the UK. Now available with exclusive trade pricing and quick lead times.
The ATO 55 is a smart choice for cafés looking to make the most of smaller spaces. With its clean, compact shape and square tapered legs, it suits everything from cosy brunch corners to laptop-friendly seating. The table is made in solid oak with a slimline top, finished in clear hardwax oil to highlight the grain. Sizes range from intimate two-seaters to larger options for shared café tables. Also available in 30mm oak or clear knot-free pine on request.
Designed with a sharp, modern look, the Element 57 works beautifully in contemporary coffee shops or cafés with minimalist interiors. The angular shape and clean edges complement open-plan layouts, and its flexible sizing supports between four and six customers comfortably. Ideal for café booths, communal tables, or window seating areas.
The Stadium 300 is perfect for cafés that want a softer, more inviting shape. Its curved ends create a welcoming feel and help encourage longer visits, whether it’s for lunch or a catch-up over coffee. With seating for six to eight, it’s a solid choice for larger café tables in open-plan spaces or private dining zones.
If you’re after café furniture that feels sturdy and dependable, the Box 85 delivers. Its block legs and square lines make it ideal for everyday café use, while the inset legs give customers plenty of legroom. This table is popular in family-friendly cafés and busy high-street coffee spots that need both style and durability.
This round café table creates a natural flow of conversation and works especially well in tight spaces. The Record 65 is available in a range of diameters and is ideal for cafés that want flexible seating options. A great pick for coffee corners, breakfast nooks, or any area that benefits from a central, social setup.
With soft corners and balanced proportions, the Radius 70 is suited to cafés that double up as coworking spots or relaxed lunch venues. Its curved edges make it especially practical for busy café environments with lots of foot traffic or families with young children. The overall design feels approachable and calm.
The Wing 200 offers a more refined look for modern cafés and coffee lounges. The inward-slanting legs create more space beneath the table, making it easy for customers and staff to move around. It has a light, elegant presence that works well in both casual and upscale café interiors.
We’re proud to have built furniture for many cafes across the UK. Here’s what some of them had to say:

Alongside our range of dining tables, we also offer matching solid oak benches and cafe side tables—ideal for coffee shop interiors that require compact, functional, and coordinated furniture solutions. These items are available in a variety of sizes and finishes, helping you make the most of tight layouts or flexible seating arrangements. Benches are a smart choice in tight spaces, providing communal seating without the visual bulk of chairs. They’re perfect for narrow café layouts, window seating areas, or shared tables in co-working cafes. Our oak benches can be ordered in custom lengths and finishes to seamlessly match your chosen table or aesthetic
Our side tables for cafes are available in three key models, each designed to bring function and elegance into lounge areas, sofa corners, or compact service zones:
Canopy 12 Coffee/Side Table – A clean, minimal side table with angled legs and a clear oak top, ideal for modern or Nordic interiors.
Dowel 50 Side Table – Rounded edges and turned beech legs lend warmth and softness to traditional or cosy settings.
Surface 25 Coffee Table – Bold, geometric lines and a versatile footprint make it perfect for boutique and high-design cafes.
These pieces are not only aesthetically flexible but also practical—serving as stations for light refreshments, extra seating accessories, or as visual accents in brand storytelling.
The Canopy 12 is a circular café side table with three gently rounded legs and a smooth oak top. It’s a great fit for quiet corners, window seats, or next to lounge chairs in a relaxed coffee shop setting. Its small footprint makes it easy to move around, perfect for holding a plant, a speaker, or a customer’s laptop. With its warm natural finish and clean look, this table blends seamlessly into cafés with a calm, modern style. Standard height is 38cm, but custom sizing is available.
The Dowel 50 is a square café coffee table with soft, rounded corners and turned beech legs positioned at the edges for maximum stability. Its lower profile and generous tabletop make it ideal for informal café seating, breakout spots, or lounge areas. Whether it’s for shared drinks, magazines, or tabletop menus, this design adds character and function to communal café spaces. Available in a range of custom sizes, with a standard height of 38cm.
Designed to be subtle but useful, the Surface 25 is a low rectangular café table that works well in lounge-style coffee shops or compact seating zones. With rounded corners and widely spaced legs, it stays stable even in busy areas. Use it as a shared table for drinks and snacks, or as a display stand for books, records, or plant pots. The clean design complements modern interiors without drawing too much attention. Standard height is 38cm, with bespoke dimensions available on request.

Bench seating and side tables bring powerful versatility to hospitality environments. Bench-style seating increases capacity, streamlines layouts, and fosters communal interactions—perfect for window nooks, co-working spaces, or family-friendly zones. Likewise, side tables offer subtle utility in lounge areas or transitional cafe zones, enhancing both service efficiency and customer experience without taking up excess room.

Pre-fitted solid oak straightening bars to reduce warping
Lightly rounded or bevelled edges for comfort and durability

Many clients choose our cafe tops for DIY projects, refurbishments, or chain fit-outs. Custom dimensions and mount-ready fitting make integration seamless.
What sets Tablemaker apart is the level of personalisation we offer. You can customise nearly every detail of your table:
Size in 1cm increments (length, width, height)
Shape: rectangular, square, round, oval, curved edges
Top Thickness: 24mm (sleek) or 30mm (substantial)
Edge Profiles: square, bevelled, rounded, waney/live edge
Leg Colour: choose from 20+ paint options or natural wood stain
Table Height: from 30cm coffee table to 100cm standing height
We even offer CAD visualisations for custom jobs and colour samples to ensure the perfect match to your interior.
In addition to cafe tables and table tops, many of our trade clients choose our Solid Oak Desk Tops for use in barista stations, coffee shop counters, and POS areas. These tops feature rounded front edges for comfort and an optional cable notch—making them perfect for tech integration and back-of-house usage. The versatility and custom sizing make them a popular choice for both customer-facing counters and internal service zones.
We also recognise that some venues may consider materials like ceramic, laminate, or MDF. While those options can offer affordability or a specific look, they fall short in high-use environments. Ceramic table tops are prone to chipping and cracking, especially in busy settings. Laminate and MDF are susceptible to swelling, delamination, or heat damage over time.
By contrast, solid oak offers unmatched durability and longevity:
It can be refinished or repaired—a sustainable advantage
It ages beautifully with use, adding character
It’s naturally resistant to daily wear, stains, and heat when treated with hardwax oil
When you invest in solid oak, you’re choosing furniture that can last for decades in commercial spaces and still be revived or repurposed.
While solid oak is our signature material, we also offer a selection of alternative hardwoods to suit different aesthetic preferences and interior styles. These include:
Walnut – A rich, chocolate-toned hardwood with elegant grain, ideal for premium cafes or darker, more atmospheric interiors.
Ash – Light in tone with a striking straight grain, ash is a contemporary favourite that works well in minimalist and Scandinavian-style cafés.
Beech – A durable, pale-toned wood that offers a clean, uniform appearance and works especially well with painted or lacquered finishes.
Robinia (on request for outdoor use) – A durable alternative to oak for external applications due to its rot resistance.
We offer a curated range of wood finishes to complement your café’s interior theme. Whether you’re designing a light, airy coffee shop or a warm, moody espresso bar, there’s a tone to match:
Clear Hardwax Oil (Natural Oak) – Showcases the natural grain with minimal colour shift; great for Scandinavian and modern looks
Dark Oak Oil – Adds depth and richness, perfect for rustic or industrial spaces
White Tinted Oil – A soft, bright finish ideal for coastal cafés or minimal interiors (available on request)
Custom Colour Matching – If you have a specific stain or tone in mind, we can colour-match your preferred reference sample
All finishes use low-VOC, food-safe hardwax oil—enhancing the oak’s grain while providing excellent protection against moisture, heat, and stains. This combination of aesthetic and performance makes our tables a standout choice for cafes looking for both form and function.
Solid wood isn’t just a design choice—it’s a long-term investment. Our tables are:
Easy to clean using mild detergent or water
Refinishable: scratched tops can be sanded and re-oiled
Resilient: straightening bars and joinery reduce long-term warping
Every piece is assembled with care and arrives flat-packed for easy installation—with tips provided to avoid damage during setup.
All Tablemaker products are carefully packaged and shipped flat-packed for safe transport and easy on-site assembly. Every table includes straightforward instructions, and all necessary fittings are pre-drilled or supplied. For clients requiring additional assistance, installation support is available upon request.
We aim to make the process as seamless as possible, whether you’re furnishing a single café or managing a nationwide rollout.
We take pride in the craftsmanship of every piece we produce. That’s why all Tablemaker products are covered by a 12-month craftsmanship guarantee. Should any structural or workmanship issues arise within this period, we’ll make it right. Our commitment to quality continues well beyond delivery.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do. All oak used by Tablemaker is responsibly sourced from trusted suppliers, and FSC certification is available on request. We use low-VOC, food-safe finishes and prioritise longevity and reusability in all our designs—helping your café reduce waste and environmental impact.

Cafe tables are compact, functional tables typically used in cafés, coffee shops, and casual restaurants. They are designed to accommodate 1–4 people and come in a range of shapes like round, square, or rectangular. Our cafe tables are crafted from solid oak and custom-built for durability in commercial settings.
Standard cafe tables are typically 60x60cm or 70x70cm for two-person seating. We offer fully customisable dimensions from 40cm up to 190cm, including round cafe tables from 40cm to 110cm in diameter.
Typical cafe table height is around 74cm, which is compatible with standard cafe chairs. We also offer custom heights ranging from low coffee tables (30cm) to bar-height tables (100cm).
Our handcrafted solid oak cafe tables start from approximately £297 for table tops and £709 for full tables. Bulk discounts are available for trade orders or multi-unit purchases.
