Is breakfast in the Balkans only coffee?

Is breakfast in the Balkans only coffee? - Woman Reading Book at Breakfast

I went through Albania, Macedonia, and Bulgaria recently, and noticed that in the morning, the local cafe are full of people but everyone only orders a cup espresso or a bottle of water. Is that the norm (ie. not eating any solid food for breakfast) or am I missing something?



Best Answer

Often it's common to have a coffee before breakfast in the Balkans, apparently. However, there are a lot of breakfasts there too, eg just look at a recipe website:

and see items like kaymak, ceshket, popara and more.
