It is known as a confectionery to the place where customers can sit at tables and consume different types of drinks (usually hot) and accompany them with various types of sweets, pastry products and candies. The confectionery is currently understood as a relatively elegant place, unlike what a bar, canteen or cafeteria can represent.
The name confectionery probably has to do with the idea that in these places, along with the drinks and infusions that were sold, different types of candies were sold to be consumed on the spot or to take away. Over time, confectionery changed, integrating numerous confectionery elements into its products such as cakes, thin doughs, bills, croissants and many others, also salty. The confectionery is then a place where one attends to consume, in most cases, the sweets that are served on the spot.
Each confectionery is a world apart since each store can specialize in different products. While some offer the best chocolate, others offer a variety of teas or coffees, others specialize in some type of cake or perhaps sandwiches. This distinctive element is what serves to differentiate each confectionery and to achieve a loyal clientele.
Normally, the space of a confectionery can vary significantly in terms of design, size, even service. While the older confectioneries, typical of the early 20th century, used to be large spaces decorated in beautiful and very luxurious Art Nouveau styles, today’s confectioneries tend to be rather sober in terms of decoration and have simple and comfortable furniture. At the same time, the service has changed as some confectioneries now allow the customer to serve their own products and take them to the table to be consumed there. Many others have included home delivery services, which also collaborates with the home consumption of products made on the spot.
