un dulce y cafetero final

Spanish to English Other Cooking / Culinary MENU FROM A RESTAURANT
Esta expresión aparece antes de la selección de postres en un menú de un restaurante.

Cómo se podria traducir? "something sweet and coffee to end your meal" quizás?

Alguna sugerencia?

Gracias

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@phil - Yes, I can assure you that people still say "sweet" or "pudding" when they mean dessert. That is the case in the UK anyway, I don't know about the USA.
Example sentence:

Lunch often will include a main course and a dessert and coffee

A sweet and coffee end to your meal

Podría ser otra opción a tu pregunta.

dessert and coffee

I think "final" is redundant.

A sweet, coffee-infused finish

Without seeing the entire menu, it's hard to be sure, but my sense is the writer is using somewhat poetic and enticing language to create a story around the courses. If this is the case, it would lose something from a marketing point of view to just say "dessert and a coffee".

Alternative: A sweet, coffee-infused end to your meal

neutral Rick Larg : I am afraid I agree with the explanation , but not the alternatative!tive!
