What is the etiquette for a breakfast interview or coffee-chat final round?

More relaxed than an office interview, but still evaluative.

• Choose something simple, clean, and easy to eat.
• Coffee, water, or juice are fine.
• Let the banker set the level if unsure.
• Avoid messy food or anything that dominates attention.

• Start with natural small talk.
• Be ready for behavioral and market questions.
• Keep answers slightly more conversational but still structured.
• Do not become too casual because the setting feels informal.

Arrive early, dress professionally, keep phone away, thank the banker, and follow up if appropriate.

You can represent the bank in semi-social client settings without awkwardness.
