Question

What would you say makes a coffee shop ?

What would you say makes a cafe ?

Answer 1

my stomach hurts. I shouldn't have eaten all those cheerios.

Answer 2

I consider a coffee shop a place that sells many different coffees, lattes, cap. etc. and desserts where as a cafe would sell maybe a few more items such as a light lunch of sandwiches, soups, salads, fruit, and yogurt, etc.  They also usually carry things light flavored teas and smoothies. A cafe may also sell a ligth breakfast too. Cafes sometimes do not sell as many desserts as a coffee shop does, that is a down fall.  They may also serve supper but it is usually just the lunch menu still.

A perfect mix of a place that sells coffees, a lot of dessert choices, and light lunches and breakfast would be awesome.

But overall  I prefer a cafe like Panera or St. Louis Bread Company. They are pretty  awesome!  They have a little of everything.  If you have not heard of them they have a website, just look up Panera.

I tend to see cafes as more of an independent thing rather than one in a chain of stores like Starbucks. I do like Starbucks coffee, but similarly I like the atmosphere in cosy little cafes. Depends what mood I'm in really.
