Hello! Learning a new language is like drinking coffee. Once done you want a refill. So here is today's refill.
Café is a universal word.
It is coffee, a beverage.
It also means a café, a small and informal establishment serving various refreshments.
Je voudrais un café.
I want/would like a coffee.
Il y a un café près d'ici.
There is a café nearby here.
This word is different from the word cafeteria in English.
Merriam-Webster. com defines it as a restaurant especially one for staff or workers, where people collect their meals themselves and carry them to their tables to eat.
