More like "has coffee?" / "yes" / "the sugar?" / "nah".

I'm not proficient in the language, but it sounds like it could be interpreted as either sentence fragments (what she assumed) or lack of proficiency (reality).

That would be the literal translation of the broken french in the comic, which I assumed was likely due to the artist unfamiliarity with French since the barista is supposed to be french or at least know french well enough to compliment his attempt, and hence I offered a more structurally sound version (well, I hope)
