Coffee and cake

Last weekend, I met a couple of friends from my former work. They invited me to have coffee with them (accompanied by cake, of course) today.

It was fun to be together with them once more. We talked a lot, ate cake, drank coffee and time passed by unnoticed.

Here in Flanders it's custom to have coffee (or tea) plus cake when meeting friends - especialy when they're women.

What's the custom in your country?
