To broaden the perspective a bit: All arabic countries that I have travelled to so far have the following kinds of shop: - shops that sell bread, often made on premises, and in a few cases also cookies and very simple kinds of pastry (basically sweet bread). If signs in english are used, these shops are signed as bakery - shops that sell sweets but no cake, cookies or pastry - small restaurants that offer (sweet) pastry, to eat in or take out, but nothing else (they never offer coffee or tea, so I wouldn't call them cafe) - places that sell cakes and cookies (mostly takeout, no coffee etc.) - places that sell coffee and tea, but usually no food. If there are signs in english, they usually read cafe or coffee shop So, my conclusion here is that in the arabic world I would expect a bakery to be a place selling mostly or only bread.
