All of my grandparents had emigrated to the USA by 1909, and coffee came with them. My mother’s parents had a little coffee grinder and it seems that they used to roast beans on their big wood cook stove in the kitchen. Her dad always used sugarcubes and I was allowed to dip them and suck out the coffee before they fell apart. It was about 3 dunkings in that dark stuff before it fell apart. This was long before people went out for coffee with a someone, preferring to have a friend come to visit their home. Life has changed.

So bakeries offer coffee and baked goods, and coffee shops offer coffee and baked goods or other snacks. It is a natural thing for a Norwegian to consume it.
