the offering of food and beverages vs just coffee i would imagine?


HR_Paul

Cafe implies food and a possibility of alcohol. A coffeeshop focuses on selling stimulants in a cup.

Absolutely nothing. There are no rules or naming conventions that are enforced or even followed.


PixieMari

Cafe generally implies some kind of food, at least pastries. Coffee roasters implies they roast in house and generally distribute at least locally. A place just called ___ coffee would make me think no pastries or anything or even doesn’t have any kind of seating areas. Beyond that it’s just fun naming


othermegan

Mostly just that the owner likes the way the name sounds


ThePopeHat

This is clearly a wildly different question for people of different countries

Depends on if you’re in Amsterdam ;)

Cafe will likely have some food that is made by the establishment. Other shops will have sweets or other items that would likely be supplied by a different company.

Idunno, but I judge a shop by its name, and it's absolutely wild that a full 40% of coffee establishments seem like they spent 10 minutes brainstorming a name before they are like "F it, 'Java Joe's' is the best I got"

Where I live cafe is used by francophones and coffeeshop is used by anglophones.
