Summary/Abstract: The present paper is devoted to issues related to creating a universal concept of café in the mentality of Russian and Polish speakers. In this paper, it is descriptively presented as ‘a coffee-drinking place’. The results of the analysis do not allow for clearly establishing the name of this concept in the consciousness of Russian-language speakers. By contrast, in the mentality of Polish speakers, the discussed concept is included in the notion of “kawiarnia“ (i.e. ‘café’) and it is verbalised by the same word kawiarnia.
