IIRC, U296 was the registry number of the German submarine that exploded, taking Monica’s original island retreat with it.
With some comedy of errors, Jin and Monica found a new island (and though a sea mine blew up on that one, we presume the explosion was smaller and did not obliterate the whole island… mainly on account of both mostly-human Monica and Jin surviving it.)
“Café U296” seems like a reference to the wrong island.
