Morphology

cozy + vibe

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'cozy' (pleasantly warm, comfortable) with 'vibe' (a sensed mood or atmosphere); the phrase simply labels the atmosphere of a place. Although 'vibe' is somewhat informal, its semantics map onto 'atmosphere' cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the expression.

Etymology

The phrase cozy vibe brings to mind a small, warm room (cozy) and a soft feeling around you (vibe). That's why it means 'a warm, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere'.
