Q:

Is きっさてん one or two words in romaji?

I realize I should not be spending too much time with romaji but I would like to try and understand more about how to translate hiragana to romaji. I used a translation web page and I noticed it sometimes adds spaces.
With the revised Hepburn system is this word translated like this:  kisaten or kisa ten? If the later then can someone explain why. 
Similar question:  そうじ
Should this appear as Sō ji or  Sōji 
Thanks

A:

きっさてん is commonly referred to as kissaten, see Kissaten. Please note that there are two S because of the small つ, which creates an extended /s/ sound.
For そうじ, I am assuming you mean the suru verb. I would write "sōji" since it is all one word, not separate words.
