Ordering a coffee: The style of coffee, such as espresso, latte, cappuccino, Americano, mocha, etc.

💬 [こんにちは] is written with [は] at the end, but here that [は] is said (wa), not (ha). You'll see the same thing in other set phrases where [は] marks the topic.

🇯🇵 [いらっしゃいませ] is a standard shop-staff welcome. Customers normally don't say it back; a small nod or just continuing your order is fine.

🇯🇵 In cafés and stores, [いらっしゃいませ] is the normal staff greeting to customers. You usually don't need to answer with a full greeting back unless you want to.

💬 [何にしますか？] literally works like "What will you make it?" and is a very common way to ask someone's choice. The same pattern works for other decisions too, like [サイズは何にしますか？] for "What size would you like?".

💬 Use [を一つください] after an item to ask for one of it: [ラテを一つください] or [カプチーノを一つください]. [一つ] is a handy general "one" when you're ordering.

💬 [それとも] means "or" when choosing between two alternatives in a question: [ホットですか、それともアイスですか？]. For linking noun choices more casually, you'll also often hear [AかB].

💬 [それとも] is used for "or" when the speaker offers two choices in a question. You can reuse this pattern easily: [Sですか、それともMですか？]

💬 [でお願いします] is a very useful ordering pattern meaning "that, please" or "I'll go with that." Swap in other choices the same way: [ホットでお願いします] or [Mサイズでお願いします]
