Ordering a coffee: Choice of bean which can vary by origin, roast type, or blend.

💬 The ending in [voudrais] is the form French often uses to make requests softer and more polite than a blunt [je veux]. You can reuse the pattern with other things you want: [Je prendrais un café] for "I'd take a coffee."

💬 [Je voudrais] is a standard polite way to ask for something, softer than [je veux]. You can swap in almost anything after it: [Je voudrais un expresso].

💬 Before a vowel sound, [un] links into the next word, so [un café] sounds joined up as (uhn-ka-fay), not like two separate blocks.

🇫🇷 In a French café, asking for just [un café] usually means a small espresso by default, not a large filter coffee. If you want something else, you normally need to say so.

💬 [S'] only appears joined to the next word here: [s'il]. It is not a standalone word.
