A café is an establishment that primarily serves coffee (of various types, e.g. espresso, latte, cappuccino).

While café may refer to a coffeehouse, the term "café" generally refers to a diner, British café (colloquially called a "caff"), "greasy spoon" (a small and inexpensive restaurant), transport café, teahouse or tea room, or other casual eating and drinking place.

A coffeehouse may share some of the same characteristics of a bar or restaurant, but it is different from a cafeteria.
