Can anyone give some light on this term? It's in a list so I cannot give more context; however it seems to be part of the listings of a supermarket or the like.
Thanks

pequeño cafetería
Only a guess in the absence of proper context, but...
'half-pint' is often used in English to suggest a dimunitive, in rather the same way as Spanish adds '...ito/a' to a noun (rincón/rinconcito, etc.).
So, 'half-pint café' could refer to a small cafetería. Here's a couple of examples:

café de una cuarto de litro
Claro que según el contexto podría ser una taza de café, una taza grande de café o la traducción que anoto arriba. ¡Que difícil sin el contexto!

medio kilo de café
Ya sé que pint es para medir líquidos pero es algo que está en una lista para el super.
Yo nunca que se vendiese café ya hecho en un super.

café de un cuarto litro
ya que la pinta (pint) = 0,568 lt ó 0,473 lt. (Br. and Am) una half-pint correspondería más a un cuarto de litro.
