A world without Starbucks

We have been having nice leisurely breakfast on the long weekends, but until today it had not occurred to us that we had not had a Starbucks like  experience.  So we set out to find a place that would give us the tea and pastry like Saturday morning feeling, where we could spend 20 bucks for tea.  We had to try several to find the sweet pastry like product, but we had potatoes, spinach and cheese pastries that were very good.  However, not the same idea.  The walk around the university continued with many pasta shops (that is pastry to you). Shop after shop, nice but no cigar so to speak.  Then we turned toward home and on a side street there it was -- Starbucks in Turkish.  Apple turnovers, scone like things and walnut pastries only two miles away so we bought them to bring home.  Then as we got to our bridge 50 yards from home and we looked in the window of our on cookie shop and there they were, We also discovered that they have an upstairs for serving tea, etc. We no longer will suffer the great human tragedy on being Starbuckless.
