English term or phrase: coffee chain
He’s going to have to be crafty because right across the road is another coffee chain.

And beside them another.

And just a hundred yards away yet another coffee chain.


What’s going on in this one London street is being repeated all over the country. Britain has gone coffee mad.

Serbo-Croat translation:lanac kafea
Explanation:
Malo je teže ovo prevesti na naše jezike jer mi nemamo lance gdje se može otiæi samo na kafu, kahvu ili kavu, odnosno kod nas se za tako nešto obièno ide u kafiæe. Meðutim, "coffee chains" su upravo lanci poput Starbucksa, ili sliènih mjesta gdje u Americi možete otiæi samo na kafu, sok ili kupiti kafu, a gdje se ne prodaje alkohol. Iz tog razloga bih ja to prevela kao lanace kafea, ili možda lanac kafe lokala.

Starbucks, San Francisco Coffee Company, etc.


Explanation:
Just an explanation: We are talking about "coffee-to-go" places, a kind of fast-food chains, but for coffee.

disagree  Ljiljana Malovic: unfortunately, this is not a translation of the expression "coffe chain". It is only an explanation, and a good one, but not a translation. GRINET would be another option instead of Starbucks.

neutral  Maja Matic: mislim da chain ovde znaci pojedinacni lokal koji pripada nekom lancu, toto pro pars takoreci

  -> Moguæe je da ste u pravu. Meðutim, malo je èudno što autor nije upotrijebio rijeè "row" ili "line" ako se radi o jednom kafeu ili kafiæu iz lanca kafea ili kafiæa, veæ se odluèio baš za "chain", zar ne?

neutral  Pavle Perencevic: MajaM je u pravu. Ne radi se o nizu kafica, pa pored njega jos jedan niz kafica, vec o kafeima razlicitih firmi, tj. iz razlicitih lanaca. Prevod tog dela bi otprilike glasio: "jer se preko puta nalazi kafe iz jednog drugog lanca"
