В этом кафе можно заказать что угодно, от супа до десерта.

Because в этом кафе means in this café as a location, not motion toward it.

Russian uses в with two different cases:

• Prepositional for location: в кафе = in the café
• Accusative for motion: в кафе / в это кафе = into this café / to this café

So here:

• в этом кафе = in this café
• в это кафе would suggest movement: into this café

The sentence is describing what is possible there, so location is needed.

Кафе is one of those Russian nouns that is usually indeclinable, meaning its form does not change across cases.

So:

• nominative: кафе
• prepositional: в кафе
• accusative: в кафе

But the demonstrative этот still declines normally to show the case:

• nominative neuter: это
• prepositional neuter: этом

That is why you get:

• в этом кафе

Even though кафе itself stays the same.

Можно means something like:

• it is possible
• one can
• you can
• it’s allowed / available to

In this sentence, можно заказать means you can order or it is possible to order.

This is a very common Russian impersonal construction. Russian often does not need an explicit subject like you or one.

So:

• В этом кафе можно заказать...
  = In this café, you can order...

After можно, Russian normally uses the infinitive.

So the pattern is:

• можно + infinitive

Examples:

• можно войти = you may enter / it is possible to enter
• можно купить = you can buy
• можно заказать = you can order

So заказать is not conjugated because можно already creates the meaning can / it is possible to.

This is about aspect.

• заказать = perfective
• заказывать = imperfective

In this sentence, заказать is used because it refers to the action as a complete, single act: to place an order for something.

So:

• можно заказать = you can order
  • focus on the completed act of ordering something

If you used заказывать, it would sound more like repeated/habitual ordering or the process in a broader sense.

For a menu/café context, можно заказать is the most natural choice.

Что угодно means anything at all, whatever you want, or whatever you like.

It is a very common expression built from:

• что = what
• угодно = literally something like is pleasing / is desired

But as a fixed expression, you should understand it as:

• что угодно = anything
• кто угодно = anyone
• где угодно = anywhere
• когда угодно = anytime

So:

• можно заказать что угодно
  = you can order anything

Here что угодно is the direct object of заказать.

The verb заказать usually takes the accusative case for the thing being ordered.

For что, the accusative form is the same as the nominative:

• nominative: что
• accusative: что
• genitive: чего

So in this sentence:

• заказать что угодно = to order anything

You would see чего угодно in places where genitive is required.

Literally, it means:

• from soup to dessert

It describes the full range of things available. In natural English, this might mean:

• from soup to dessert
• everything from soup to dessert
• anything from soup to dessert

It is a common Russian way to show a range:

• от X до Y = from X to Y

Because the prepositions от and до both require the genitive case.

So:

• суп → супа
• десерт → десерта

Pattern:

• от + genitive
• до + genitive

Examples:

• от дома до школы = from the house to the school
• от утра до вечера = from morning till evening
• от супа до десерта = from soup to dessert

The comma separates an explanatory phrase that adds detail to что угодно.

The sentence first says:

• можно заказать что угодно = you can order anything

Then it clarifies what that means:

• от супа до десерта = from soup to dessert

So the comma works a bit like an added explanation or specification.

It is similar to English punctuation in something like:

• You can order anything, from soup to dessert.

Yes. That would also be correct, but the tone is a little different.

Compare:

• В этом кафе можно заказать что угодно...

  • impersonal
  • neutral
  • general statement about what is available

• В этом кафе вы можете заказать что угодно...

  • directly addresses you
  • can sound a bit more personal or promotional

The version with можно is very natural for general descriptions.

Yes, Russian word order is flexible, though different orders change emphasis.

The given sentence:

• В этом кафе можно заказать что угодно, от супа до десерта.

This is natural and neutral: first the place, then the possibility, then the object.

Other possible orders:

• Можно заказать что угодно в этом кафе, от супа до десерта.
• Что угодно можно заказать в этом кафе, от супа до десерта.

These are grammatically possible, but the emphasis shifts.

The original order is probably the most standard if the sentence is introducing the café.

The main stresses are:

• в э́том кафе́
• мо́жно
• заказа́ть
• что уго́дно
• от су́па до десе́рта

A rough pronunciation guide:

• V EH-tam ka-FE MOZH-na za-ka-ZAT shto u-GOD-na, ot SU-pa da de-SER-ta

The word кафе is stressed on the last syllable, which is important because many English speakers want to stress the first syllable.

Yes. The best English translation depends on context.

In this sentence, что угодно could be translated as:

• anything
• whatever you want
• whatever you like

So:

• можно заказать что угодно
  = you can order anything = you can order whatever you want

All of these capture the sense well.
