The sandwich

A cafe is a casual eatery, historically a coffeehouse, serving coffee, tea, and light fare like pastries or sandwiches in a relaxed social setting for work, study, or chat, often with Wi-Fi, focusing on drinks and simple, quick foods. They offer a cozy vibe, counter service (sometimes table), and act as community hubs, differing from full restaurants by their limited menus and informal atmosphere, drawing from French "café" meaning coffee.
