A cafe is an establishment designed for catering and recreation, which resembles a small restaurant. However, compared to the latter, the cafe features a more limited range of products along with a partial self-service option.
Cafes in working-class areas where you can eat at lunchtime are often called eateries. In organizations of this kind, institutions are called canteens, but after the collapse of the USSR, this term is used much less frequently.
Depending on the range of products sold, cafes are divided into coffee shops, bakery cafes (pastry shops), cafe bars, ice cream parlors, grill cafes and Internet cafes. In addition, by location, cafes are stationary and street - such establishments are located in separate buildings or extensions to them.
Another type of cafes are roadside cafes, which are mainly located in separate buildings along the roads. Seasonal cafes are also widespread - near the sea coast, on the banks of rivers and lakes. They work mainly in certain months (as a rule, during the warm period, but in winter, for example, in ski resorts).
Depending on the contingent, the cafe can be youth, children's, art cafe, gay friendly and others. Cafeshantan is a kind of cafe, which provides a variety entertainment program.
