Breakfast Surprise!

There are those who wait all their lives for a pleasant surprise, and others who wish to give them but don't know when, what nor how. Here is a rather novel idea. For love, anniversary, birthday, let's-make-up, saying sorry or, why not, for no reason at all except a nice surprise, send a special 'surprise breakfast' to be delivered to someone's door?

'Matias Buenos Días' is a Catalan company that offers special surprise breakfast and breakfast baskets, which will be delivered to your door daily, or only at weekends, or on prearranged dates, to companies, business establishments and private homes, before 8 O'clock in the morning to your front door, together with your favourite newspapers. Freshly squeezed orange juice, steaming hot coffee, variety of fresh from the oven hot bread and rolls, croissants; jam, cheese, etc. This service is, for the moment, only available in the centre of Barcelona.

There's also the breakfast basket if you prefer, more of the so-called Continental style breakfast, which could be made up to your specification. This, yes, can be delivered to any area in Barcelona, including the surrounding suburbs. This basket with ample and good variety of food for 3 people costs €76. The Surprise Breakfast is €35, including a personal card with your own message and signature.

According to the proprietor, many people living in Barcelona have to make a little journey each morning to get their bread, as bakeries are usually located in secondary streets to avoid the higher city centre rent. In recent years, many big companies have adopted the American custom of 'work breakfast' or 'breakfast meetings' in the office for executives, their own staff, board meetings or for meetings with clients. They have 300 fixed clientele and deliver an average of 250 breakfasts daily.

The company is planning to expand his service to all areas in Barcelona, but has added that to have all breakfasts hot and arriving at everybody's door before 8 a.m. is quite a challenge.

Pity I live a whole 2 hours' away from the big city. Plus the fact that, with €35 I could have all my 3 meals of the day quite adequately and satisfactorily covered. Besides, 8 a.m. is far too early for me, almost cruel !
