This research aims to determine and describe the use of coffee shops as public spaces for students of Halu Oleo University. This research employs an ethnographic research method. With the informant selection technique using snowball sampling, data collection was conducted through ordinary observation, participant observation, and in-depth interviews. The obtained data were then analyzed using Jurgen Habermas's Theory of Public Space. The research findings indicate that students, in this case the students of Halu Oleo University, are among the most frequent visitors to coffee shops, especially to those located not far from campus. When visiting coffee shops, students engage in various activities as a form of utilizing these spaces. This includes using coffee shops as a place to complete academic assignments, as a venue for certain groups and communities to have discussions and dialogues, as a means of entertainment and recreation, as part of a modern lifestyle, and to satisfy their needs for food and beverages.
