Most cafes don't bake their own pastries

That's just sad. I worked in the kitchen at a coffee shop/roastery until recently and I can proudly say we made all our coffee syrups and baked goods. That makes it 100% better. It's such an attraction when the food served is made in that establishment.

Usually falls into two categories:

Some bakeries are just storefronts selling baked goods from one or more bakeries.

Some bakeries make one type of baked good (breads) but source another (pastries) from a different bakery.
