A restaurant exists explicitly to serve food first. If you're still there an hour after paying your bill, they'll start asking polite questions.
A café, in most places, is a place for hanging out that makes money on the assumption that people will like refreshments, snacks or even small meals while doing so. They're typically not going to ask you to leave just because you haven't gotten anything in an hour or two (unless they're full). The exception appears to be some places where coffeehouses think they're a theme park ride.
