List of bakeries
Bakery cafes are a type of bakery that also provides seating and a menu of food items beyond the traditional breads and pastries. They often serve coffee, sandwiches, soups, and other items that can be enjoyed on the premises. This type of establishment has become increasingly popular in many parts of the world, offering a casual dining experience with a focus on fresh, artisanal baked goods.
History[edit | edit source]
The concept of the bakery cafe has its roots in the traditional boulangeries of France, where breads and pastries were often sold alongside simple meals and coffee. This idea was later adopted and expanded upon in other countries, particularly in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s with the rise of chains like Panera Bread and Au Bon Pain.

In addition to the food offerings, bakery cafes are also known for their casual, comfortable atmosphere. Many have seating areas where customers can enjoy their food and drink, and some also offer free Wi-Fi and other amenities.
