Breakfast at the Bakery

One morning, after getting off the metro, I walked through a passage way on my way to Winslow Square. I noticed a little boy and his grandmother walking out. They must have just gotten breakfast to start their day.

Breakfast seems to take on a different form here in the Czech Republic. Many people take their time to sit down and drink their coffee rather than at home where people drive through Starbucks running late on their way to work. Breakfast seems more leisurely here. Bakery’s here also seem different. At home, I would never think to run to a bakery to grab a croissant for breakfast though I would grab a breakfast taco. That is strictly an Austin breakfast though.

At home, if I spend a long time at a coffee shop, it is to study and do my homework. I will camp out for hours somewhere with good wifi and unlimited supply of iced chai lattes but here it seems less common to work in a public space with your computer. When wanted to work on our blogs outside of our apartment, we struggled to know where it was appropriate to pull out our computers and take over a table for an hour or two. Many places at home, don’t have free WiFi if they don’t want you to stay there forever. Here most have free WiFi but it is unclear whether you can stay a while. Specifically, if a waiter comes to your table to get your drink order.
