You can grab a quick bite in Europe without feeding McDonald's or Starbucks. Prague has Bageterie Boulevard, Spain has Rodilla and 100 Montaditos, France has Brioche Doree and Class'croute, and bakery chains from Germany's backwerk to Greggs in the UK cover the fast end with regional flavours and fresher ingredients.

Readers on [r/BuyFromEU](https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU) helped shape this list, and many prefer skipping chains for an independent local spot. To find one, the [European Coffee Trip](https://europeancoffeetrip.com/) guide maps thousands of specialty coffee shops across the continent.
