Bottom line
Atom is cheapest for 3 years ($92.60); over 5 years Dotology is ($174.95).
.cafe is one of the friendlier new extensions. It's short, everyone knows the word, and it works in plenty of languages, accent or no accent.
There are no eligibility restrictions. Identity Digital (formerly Donuts) runs it, along with .coffee, which covers similar ground.
Picking between the two is mostly about feel. .coffee says what you sell. .cafe says what kind of place you are, which might suit a bakery or a book cafe that does more than coffee. Online communities and chat spaces borrow it too, for the "meeting place" sense.
