Querying tags with multiple values via Overpass

Question

This example Overpass query for node["cuisine"="coffee_shop"] will not return nodes tagged "cuisine"="coffee_shop;sandwiches", i.e. with multiple values.

Shouldn't it?
Any workarounds?

You can use a regular expression

node["cuisine"~"coffee_shop"]

I would also suggest looking for ways (and relations)

nwr["cuisine"~"coffee_shop"]

Amazing @andrewblack, thanks! I didn't know of the nwr shortcut either, it's saving my query two lines 👍

nwr is fairly new. It makes it easier/safer to edit. How many times have I edited node and not way.

FYI there are 41732 coffee_shops in the world. Next step is dealing with this kind of data
