The word 咖啡馆 (kāfēi guǎn), meaning "coffee shop" or "café", is formed through a logical morphological combination: it begins with the disyllabic loanword 咖啡 (kāfēi), a phonetic borrowing from the English "coffee", to which is appended the morpheme 馆 (guǎn), meaning "establishment" or "public building". This structure follows a common Chinese compounding pattern where a specific object or substance (咖啡) is combined with a generic place indicator (馆) to create a noun denoting a venue associated with that substance, resulting in the straightforward meaning "coffee establishment".
