How to say this sentence:
I am going to the cafeteria to eat food
I have: Idę do stołówka jeść jedzenie.
Is that right or is something different? I know polish has all these hard rules/exceptions I don't know about since I'm pretty self taught.
Also, is stołówka or kawiarnia the word for cafeteria?
Polish is so hard it's disheartening. I could ask a billion questions.

Idę do stołówki coś zjeść.
You don't need to write 'jeść jedzenie', because it is obvious. It is better to say 'zjeść coś' (eat something), it sounds more natural.
'Stołówka' is a place, where you can eat lunch, dinner etc. It is usually in schools.
'Kawiarnia' is a place, where you can drink coffee or tea and eat something sweet. Sturbucks is an example of 'kawiarnia'

The difference between stołówka and kawiarnia is perfectly described however, the construction of the sentence needs a bit explanation.
The correct sentenses should be as follows:
1 Idę na stołówkę, żeby coś zjeść (I'm going to the canteen to eat something)
2 Idę do kawiarni.(I'm going to the cafe.)
The point is that you have to use different prepositions
