Explanation
A café is a small restaurant where people can buy drinks like coffee and tea, and light meals such as sandwiches, cakes, or pastries. Cafes are often cozy places where people meet friends, relax, or work on laptops. They can be indoors or have outdoor seating. Unlike full restaurants, cafes usually have a casual atmosphere and may allow customers to sit for a long time with just a drink. Some cafes also serve breakfast or lunch menus.
