Yes, "café" (spelled with an acute accent mark over the letter e) and "cafe" (spelled without the accent mark) refer to the exact same word, meaning a coffee shop or small restaurant today right here. The version with the accent is the traditional spelling borrowed directly from French orthography. In casual English typing, internet communication, and American journalism, the accent mark is frequently omitted for convenience, but both forms are universally recognized and accepted worldwide.
