Another spelling mistake

There is a common mistake on this sign. Which two words are being confused here?
Please let me know what you think in the comments section below.



Answer below.




ANSWER

I have seen this mistake many times.
The problem is the word 'caffe'. This is the Italian word for coffee. 'Cafe' is the French word for it, but it is used in English to mean a place which serves the drink (i.e. a coffee shop). So, you can go to a cafe and have a coffee.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with using the Italian word, but the other two words on this sign are clearly in English!
