[Tagging] Central European insight needed: cukrászda, cukrárna, cukiernia, ciastkarnia, cukráreň, pasticceria, konditorei, patisserie, ...

[bkil]

So just a quick idea, what do you think if we subtyped amenity=café?

What non-UK people refer to as a café:
amenity=cafe + cafe=coffeehouse

Diners/greasy spoon and whatnot:
amenity=cafe + cafe=diner

Or even this one:
amenity=cafe + cafe=teehouse

$SUBJECT:
amenity=cafe + cafe=cukrászda***
(***We're still working on the word to recommend, but many came up
already, like dessert, dessert_bakery, sweet_bakery, fancy_bakery,
patisserie and others)

For the kind of cukrászda where you can not sit in, we could also add
takeaway=only/capacity=0 to this or maybe introduce shop=*** instead.

One can arrange a date with his/her (girl)friend, or even a meeting with a business partner for a short talk in a posh coffeehouse in a calm ambience (soft chillout music, porcelain tableware). It's not about the food or the coffee :)
