Confront new cafe (4)
I believe the answer is:
face
'confront' is the definition.
('face' can be a synonym of 'confront')
'new cafe' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cafe' anagrammed gives 'FACE'.
(Other definitions for face that I've seen before include "set of features" , "celebrity" , "well-known person" , "Come up against" , "Countenance, visage" .)
