¿Te viene bien quedar en la cafetería después de la reunión?

Te viene bien is a very common Spanish way to ask whether something is convenient or suits someone.

In this sentence, ¿Te viene bien quedar...? means something like:

• Would meeting up... work for you?
• Would it be convenient for you to meet...?
• Does it suit you to meet...?

The literal idea is closer to Does it come well to you?, but that is not natural English. So it is best learned as a fixed expression meaning to suit someone / to be convenient for someone.

Te means to you and shows who the arrangement is convenient for.

So:

• te viene bien = it suits you / it works for you

The sentence is asking about your availability or convenience, not someone else’s.

If you changed the person, the pronoun would change too:

• ¿Le viene bien...? = Would it suit you...? (formal) / Would it suit him/her...?
• ¿Os viene bien...? = Would it suit you all...? (informal plural in Spain)
• ¿Les viene bien...? = Would it suit you all / them...?

Because the verb is not conjugated for you. It is conjugated for the thing that suits you.

In expressions like te viene bien, the subject is often an action, plan, or time. Here, the subject is:

• quedar en la cafetería después de la reunión

That whole idea is treated as a singular thing, so Spanish uses viene:

• [Quedar en la cafetería después de la reunión] te viene bien.

So it is not you come, but rather meeting in the cafeteria after the meeting suits you.

Here quedar means to arrange to meet, to meet up, or to get together.

In different contexts, quedar can mean different things, such as:

• to remain / be left
• to agree
• to arrange to meet
• to fit / look on someone in expressions like te queda bien

But in this sentence, quedar en la cafetería clearly means to meet at the cafeteria.

Examples:

• Hemos quedado a las seis. = We’ve arranged to meet at six.
• ¿Quedamos mañana? = Shall we meet tomorrow?

Because te viene bien is followed by an action: to meet.

So the structure is:

• ¿Te viene bien + infinitive...?

Examples:

• ¿Te viene bien hablar mañana? = Would it suit you to talk tomorrow?
• ¿Te viene bien salir más tarde? = Would it work for you to leave later?

In English, this is similar to saying Would it work for you to... ?

Because quedar en is the normal pattern when you mean to meet at/in a place.

• quedar en la cafetería = to meet at the cafeteria
• quedar en mi casa = to meet at my house
• quedar en la plaza = to meet in the square

If you said ir a la cafetería, that would mean to go to the cafeteria, which is a different idea.

So:

• quedar en... = the meeting location
• ir a... = movement toward a place

Because después normally needs de before a noun.

So:

• después de la reunión = after the meeting
• después de clase = after class
• después de comer = after eating

You can use después on its own when the rest is understood:

• Nos vemos después. = See you later.

But if a noun follows, Spanish normally uses de.

Spanish often uses the definite article more than English does.

Here, la reunión means the meeting, referring to a meeting both speakers already know about or can identify from context.

Spanish commonly says:

• después de la reunión
• antes de la clase
• durante la cena

Even where English might sometimes be slightly looser, Spanish usually keeps the article if it is a specific event.

No — this is a very important false friend.

In Spanish, reunión usually means:

• meeting
• gathering

It does not usually mean a family reunion or school reunion in the English sense, unless context makes that clear.

So in this sentence, la reunión almost certainly means the meeting.

It is informal, because it uses te.

• ¿Te viene bien...? = informal you
• ¿Le viene bien...? = formal you

So if you were speaking to someone you address as usted, you would say:

• ¿Le viene bien quedar en la cafetería después de la reunión?

In Spain, with a group of people informally, you could say:

• ¿Os viene bien quedar en la cafetería después de la reunión?

Yes. Te va bien and te viene bien can both mean does it work for you? or is it convenient for you?

In many situations, they are very close:

• ¿Te va bien quedar...?
• ¿Te viene bien quedar...?

Both are natural.
Te viene bien can sound slightly more like is this convenient/suitable for you?, while te va bien can sound slightly broader, like does this work for you? But in everyday use, the difference is often small.

Yes, but the meaning changes slightly.

• en la cafetería suggests a specific cafeteria, probably one both people know
• en una cafetería means in a cafeteria / at some cafeteria, not a specific one

So the original sentence sounds like there is a known place in mind:

• the cafeteria connected to the office, building, or usual meeting place

It is a question, but functionally it is also a suggestion or invitation.

The speaker is not just asking for information. They are proposing a plan in a polite, natural way:

• Would it work for you to meet in the cafeteria after the meeting?

This is a very common way to make plans in Spanish because it sounds considerate. Instead of simply saying Let’s meet..., the speaker asks whether the plan suits the other person.

Some common answers are:

If it works:

• Sí, me viene bien. = Yes, that works for me.
• Sí, perfecto.
• Sí, quedamos allí. = Yes, let’s meet there.

If it does not work:

• No, no me viene bien. = No, that doesn’t work for me.
• Después de la reunión no puedo. = I can’t after the meeting.
• ¿Te va bien más tarde? = Would later work for you?

These kinds of replies are very natural in conversation.

Spanish often leaves the subject idea as an infinitive, which is already very natural:

• ¿Te viene bien quedar en la cafetería después de la reunión?

But you could also rephrase it in other ways, for example:

• ¿Te viene bien que quedemos en la cafetería después de la reunión?
• ¿Te parece bien quedar en la cafetería después de la reunión?

The original version is concise and very idiomatic. It is exactly the kind of sentence native speakers often use when arranging something.
