First coffee date tips?
There's a cute girl that works at a store next to my work and have seen her a few times and asked her out on a coffee date and she said yes. There's a starbucks right next to it so we're gonna go there right after her shift at 7:30 so what I'm wondering is if we should just start off with coffee and if things go well should I ask her if she wants to grab dinner? Or should I ask if her if she wants some of the pastries or sandwiches they offer at starbucks then possibly making her not hungry and ruining the opportunity to grab dinner? Or she would just have like a coffee/dinner date at starbucks since I'm assuming she'll be hungry at that time. I could play it by ear but me with my social anxiety will find a way to make it awkward so I sort of want a plan figured out beforehand.

Unless the coffee date goes really well I wouldn't go for dinner. A coffee date is more relaxed and laid back. If I were you I would pay for her coffee (go first in line, tell them what you want then ask her what she wants), sit down have a conversation and enjoy it. If it goes well then when you guys are about to leave say something like "Hey this was fun, we should do it again soon" If she agrees then be like "Great, well can I get your number?" Or something like that, just ease into it. You got this dude, be confident, be funny and smile a lot.

Keep it simple. At Starbucks, ask her if there is anything else she'd like. If she declines, and if the conversation goes nicely, it's fine to ask if she'd like to go from there to something else. I had a nice date where we went for a walk in the nearby park after the coffee date, and then for a drive to a planetarium. In other words, part 2 doesn't need to be food, but yes, it would be easier to offer dinner after you're finishing your lattes if she doesn't eat at Starbucks.
If your anxiety is very high and you absolutely need a plan, you could decide beforehand that you'll just have the coffee date for date 1. If you both get on well, at the end let her know you enjoyed being with her you'd like to see her again soon. Then call her and ask her out to dinner next week. Remember, the point of a coffee date is to be able to have a short time together. If either one of you is not enjoying each other, then there is little investment of time and money.

Ask her if she's hungry, if she says no, order your coffee and after a little chatting ask if she would like a pastry, You'll make a great impression whether you take my advise or play it by ear!

I'd say keep it simple. Coffee and sandwiches.
Good luck!
