Come on now being in southern Europe you should be well aware of cafes and corner bakeries and the culture around it. It's pretty much the same concept as the US (or Canadian) doughnut shop except not as nice. I worked with a guy from Poland who worked for a company in Austria which was based in Monaco. He just got back from Spain after being in France for a while. When he came here to Canada he was shocked at the lack of corner bakeries. It's so common to pop into a corner bakery for a croissant or sandwich made fresh that morning or afternoon. In Canada the Tim Horton's coffee and doughnut shop is a giant. It has four times as many store per capita than Starbucks in the US.
