"At the Cafe" is an oil painting by the German-born American artist Robert Koehler (1850–1917), created in 1886. The painting is a notable example of Koehler's work, which often explored social themes and everyday life through the lens of realism. "At the Cafe" depicts a scene inside a European-style café, where patrons engage in leisurely activities typical of café culture during the late 19th century. The artwork captures the ambiance of the period, with figures shown in conversation, reading, or lost in thought, surrounded by the architectural and interior design elements of the time.

Robert Koehler, trained in Munich and a prominent figure in the Minneapolis art scene, was known for his genre paintings, portraits, and landscapes. His works often reflected the influence of the Munich School, characterized by dark hues, detailed realism, and a focus on the human condition. "At the Cafe" is exemplary of Koehler's skill in composition and his ability to convey mood and narrative through his paintings.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural representation of the café as a social space, which was an important aspect of European urban life in the late 19th century. Cafés served as hubs for intellectual discussion, artistic exchange, and relaxation, and Koehler's work provides a window into this world.

"At the Cafe" is part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, an institution with which Koehler had a longstanding relationship, including serving as an instructor and director at the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts, which is associated with the museum. The painting is often highlighted for its contribution to the understanding of social dynamics and the role of public spaces in the cultural life of the era.
