The inner workings of a coffee shop question

[wesleysgirl]

So, looking at Starbucks as an example... I know they sell a bunch of baked goods like scones and things, in addition to coffee. Are those baked goods baked on the premises, or delivered to the stores from elsewhere, or what? Does anyone know?

Thanks! I haven't been in all that many Starbucks so I didn't know if they even had a place "in the back" to make things like that. :-)

Nope! Even chains that *do* use local bakeries (such as Intelligentsia) still tend to get their baked goods delivered. An individual coffeeshop might have the ability to make their own - depends on the place - but a chain is very likely to order in ♥
