Dangerous windows & doors (from the Kafe Dostoyevsky guide)

Mining window — the top angle

Moderate

Second-floor Mining window leads the board at A grade. It's a classic Kafe peek: early vision onto the attacker approach, quick to take, quick to abandon. Hall door on the same floor backs it up at A-, giving the second level two proven openers.

The Piano floor

The third floor is Kafe's watchtower — Bathroom hallway window grades A-, with three separate Piano-area windows in the B range. Height makes these angles hard to trade and gives defenders a fallback: even when one Piano window is pre-aimed, the next one over sees nearly the same lane.

Ground floor: Bakery and Garage doors

Bakery door (B+) and the bottom white Garage door (A-) cover the street level. These are the close-range options — faster fights, bigger risk, and the angles attackers physically walk into when they rush their entry. Reception and Dining fill out the list at B.
