What is Cafake?
1.
An establishment which poses as a typical 'neighborhood' cafe/bistro but is actually the impliment and extention of a vast corporate entity, the creation of which paradoxically threatens the actual independant cafes they were modeled on.
Usually found in bookstores, malls, and natual supermarkets.
