> My dream kitchen for having people over is located right by the front door and has a big table, big windows, great lighting, and a coffee/tea/minibar near the entrance. It should have a mix of plush seating and stools/wooden chairs. People should not have to walk through the chef part of the kitchen in order to access the rest of the house, but they should have to at least go by it. And I will of course unlock the door so all my friends will come by for coffee every day

Sounds like what you want is open a café!
