Nice idea, but the tables need to be under trees or parasols. Sitting directly in the sun for coffee or a meal can be quite unpleasant, not to mention unhealthy.
Used in Spanish, French, Romanian and Romanche. The Basques use it too. Romanche. The Basques use it too.
I feel the order would be reversed if it were from one of those languages - it would be cafe de shibafu (cafe of the grass). Shibafu de cafe follows a common Japanese phrasing, and as this is Japan...

で (de) is a Japanese particle referring to the location/means upon/at/by which an action takes place.
Shibafu means grass. So the name would be along the lines of 'the cafe on the grass'.
