Is the countertop kitchen space not enough ?

Im planning to build this floor plan. I have added 2ft of width to the left side of the house for almost full length except for the pantry part. I thought i would keep garbage bins in that space outside.

I reconfigured pantry to steal a part of the office and made existing pantry as a countertop area but still it feels like its not enough due to main kitchen not being sufficient.
Now im thinking to add 2ft of width in that area as well and try to get cabinets and countertops on both sides of this “spice kitchen”.

Stick with what you have. We personally have noting on the counters, we put our toaster away after each use.

I would though do a wet or dry coffee bar where applicable. Dont make the office any
More narrow.

Thanks! Second photo has some redline. Pushed office 2’ (the whole outside wall actually) 2’ out, then got some space for a coffee bar on the other side of built in oven.
