Work culture to work through lunch break?

I just started a job which is fine but kind of sucks because my trainer left after only one week of training me so I hit the ground running. It’s temp, well anyways I get an hour lunch.
It’s a big company but tiny office of just us 3…was 4 but now 3. These people tend to eat and work while answering phone calls and taking orders throughout break.
I need my break. I don’t want to work through it. I’m allowed to leave but if I stay I feel the need to work while eating because everyone else does it and I don’t want to be seen as lazy. There’s no break room so it’s either sit at my desk and work while eating, eat in my car, or eat and hang out in the coffee shop next door which is what ok doing right now.
I feel bad when I take my breaks even though I’m allowed to. I guess what the people told me is they split their breaks sometimes and leave. Me? I want a straight hour lunch with no breaks. I literally have my brain on fire lol.
Should I just conform to the rest and just work through break?
