Casey Butterfield Jan 12, 2005:
There is an exact equivalent, but it's archaic: "milk bar". As it is archaic, though, I wouldn't recommend using it.

Thanks, Ailish
Lia Fail (X) Jan 12, 2005:
Bernadette, there isn't an exact equivalent in English, what you should do is post the Q to ES speakers, and they can explain the origins and history of this kind of bar. Been to many, don't seem much different from caf�s, you need ES input....

Selected

dairy bar

This is what I'd call it, and I don't think it's archaic at all (or maybe I'm just older than I think...!). There are over 30,000 hits on Google for it.

Gracias Andy
agree Casey Butterfield : Granja is often translated as "milk bar" throughout Catalunya and though this gets the meaning across, it sounds terribly antiquated to native English ears and I would go with lazuluna's answer.

Farm-restaurant

seeing as 99% of Spanish cafeterias serve food to some extent I think "farm-restaurant" works as a stronger collocation than "farm-cafe"

agree Margarita Ezquerra (Smart Translators, S.L.) : suena bastante razonable.

Thanks Irina, I could do with going there!
disagree Andy Watkinson : I'm afraid it's got absolutely nothing to do with "farms" - a "granja" is a coffee shop/café.

According to Oxford, only in Catalunya apparently, although no reference to this meaning if you google, in Catalunya or anywhere else
disagree Casey Butterfield : Sorry, but that's not the meaning here. A granja is a cafe which traditionally served products of a (far-off) dairy farm

Info

Perhaps "granja" is only used to refer to a café in Catalunya; it's obviously not the case in Madrid.

agree Casey Butterfield : I lived in Catalunya for two years; a granja is like a cafe but more likely to serve dairy sweets such as custard and creamy desserts from the granja, i.e. dairy farm.

I used to live the THE street of granjas, which I why I chose to google for "·C/Petritxol". And that was a couple of decades ago.. Thanks Casey
