I would call that a night shot, but ti's really a matter of semantics. I've shot commercials where we rolled film in daylight and made it look like night. I've also shot at night and made it look pretty close to daylight. Both without sky of course. it's all about how you manipulate the exposure in respect to the light you have.
The cafe scene may be a bit oversharpened. I'll have to take another look. I seem to recall that I sharpened it very little, but the 12-24 produces very crisp results on its own. And again, the light was unusual. Some huge highlights from direct sun and the resulting spread from the diffusion.
