Say, a book store with a café. Or a place that is a café by day and a wine bar by night.

Always check wiki for the particular case. E.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dbooks#Cafes_inside_bookshops

Hmm, I can't find any guidance for my particular use case.

There's a whole section on the Canadian page in the OSM wiki for how to map Tim Horton's depending on if they're inside of other places or not, haha.
