One question: Can the upper level columns be supported by a beam of lower level? Or do they have to be supported by either a bearing wall or column below? Thanks!

No.

Missing lower beam at north prep.
Structural grid isn't necessary.

Thanks Coach! More questions:
1. I guess the lower beam at north prep you mentioned is for supporting the upper wall of cafe, right? If so, do I need to provide another lower beam for the north wall of cafe?
2. Once I add the lower beam at north prep, should the joist for prep still go all the way to north wall of prep? In that way the northmost joist will be overlapped with the beam.

Yes.

No. That wall is not interrupted by a low roof.

Always draw to centerlines.
