cafés
Places serving espresso
Cafés is the plural of café, a small restaurant serving coffee, light meals, and often alcoholic drinks.
The accent marks the word as French, though many English writers drop it: The neighborhood has several new cafes.
Cafés range from casual coffeehouses to European-style establishments with sidewalk seating.
