WOULD LIKE AND LIKE
When you like something it means you always like it. Or usually.
When you would like something it means you want it (now).

Examples:

1 I like dancing.
2 I’d like to go dancing tonight.
3 Lenny likes chocolates.
4 He wouldn’t like chocolate for lunch.

Sentence 3 expresses that Lenny likes chocolate in general. He loves it. It’s his favourite
sweets.
But it doesn’t mean that he wants to eat chocolate for lunch (sentence 4).

WOULD LIKE AND LIKE
We use would like or ’d like to say politely what we want, especially when making
offers and requests:

Would you like a biscuit with your coffee?


Can you order for Ellie? She’d like the Margarita pizza, please.

Verbs that follow would like are in the to-infinitive form:

Would you like to listen to that again?


I’d like to get a return ticket for tomorrow.

We use Do you like …? to ask about preferences in general. We don’t use Do you
like …? to make offers or requests

WOULD LIKE
 
The verb “would like” requires an object, a gerund, or an infinitive after it:

I would like a bagel. (The word “bagel” is an object.)


He’d like a new job. (The word “job” is an object. Notice that the subject and
“would” are contracted to form “He’d.” This is very common.)
They’d like a new dog. (The word “dog” is an object.)
They’d like to get a new dog. (“To get” is an infinitive.) 
Most people make a contraction with the subject and “would.

I would like a burrito = I’d like a burrito.
She would like to make a call. = She’d like to make a call.
