Morphology
The meaning 'a space for eating breakfast' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'breakfast' (the morning meal) with 'area' (a space or part of a place). This straightforward noun+noun composition is common cross-linguistically and follows regular English compounding patterns, so a B1 learner knowing both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Breakfast area comes from the simple idea of a small area next to the kitchen where people eat breakfast, so it means a cozy spot for 'light meals' or morning coffee.
