I'm sure I posted this before, but I don't know anyone who calls them cybercafés in English, only Internet cafés. Of course I am familiar with the term cybercafé, but I only ever hear it or use it in French.
Alison Jenner Sep 22, 2006:
Internet cafe is also used in the UK.
RHELLER Sep 22, 2006:
For your information, in the U.S. we call them internet cafes. Most people just learn to pronounce the word as if it had an accent at the end, just like they learn that through has a silent g.

It depends on the country where the cybercafe is located and...

Not every keyboard has the é key to put the accent on the e, so either spelling could be considered correct, and the pronunciation remains cybercafé.
Nobody ever said cyber coffee (shop)
