Final-day luggage break: cafe near hotel or cafe near airport train?

A practical travel question about choosing the safest cafe break between hotel checkout and the final airport transfer.

The awkward part of many short trips is the time between checkout and the airport train. A famous cafe across town sounds nice until luggage, rain, and the final transfer make it risky. I usually think the cafe should be near the hotel, luggage locker, or airport train station. It does not need to be special. It needs restrooms, bag space, charging if needed, and a clear latest-leave time. Do you choose final-day cafes by atmosphere, or by how safely they connect to the airport route?
