As far at atmosphere is concerned.
The cafe part of the place should have lots of comfy chairs, a sofa or two, and coffee tables with magazines. The cafe part should look like a coffee house, someplace that students want to hang out. Not dimly lit, but not bright. Bright rooms don't make people stay for too long. A soda and candy vending machine are a must, have a tv above the coffee area (assuming you're gonna have one) like bars have.
The gaming room should be well lit, but make sure there is no glare! gamers hate glare! Also you should have some sort of soundproofing either in the walls, or on the walls. Gamers = noise! In the gaming room a large marker/greaseboard is a must so that the gamers can mark down their tournament charts and high scores. Also you might want to get one of those little ATM machines. Kids have bank cards, but seldom have cash on them.
Good luck!
