Está is the third person singular form of estar in the present tense.
Full present-tense conjugation of estar:
Here, la cafetería is singular, so Spanish uses está.
The accent mark shows where the stress goes: ca-fe-te-RÍ-a.
Without the accent, Spanish pronunciation rules would stress the word differently. The written accent tells you the stressed syllable clearly.
This accent mark is part of the correct spelling, so it should always be written:

Think of cerca de as a fixed expression meaning near.
Not very naturally. It is better to learn it as a unit:
Word-for-word, cerca is related to near/close, and de often means of/from, but in this expression the natural English translation is simply near or close to.
Spanish just uses a different structure. Instead of close to, it says cerca de.
Languages often package prepositions differently, so it is best not to force a one-to-one translation. Just remember:

Spanish word order is often similar to English in simple sentences like this. You could change the order for emphasis in some contexts, but this version is the standard one.
Biblioteca means library, not bookshop.
This is important because English speakers sometimes confuse it with words related to books.
So:
The article would change from la to el, but the rest of the structure would stay the same.
Also notice that de + el usually contracts to del:
But de + la does not contract:
Yes. It has everything needed for a full sentence:
It is a complete, natural statement in Spanish.
Yes. It sounds natural and standard in Spain Spanish. It is a simple, everyday way to describe location.
A speaker in Spain would easily understand and use this sentence.
