In America, there’s some issue with tea. There are places where it’s not even on the menu. For example, right now at Tropicana Bakery & Cafe, there’s no tea; there was a similar instance before somewhere else. But where tea is available, it’s always in tea bags. You can’t find green tea in cafes at all, and tea is never served in teapots – only by the cup.
The coffee at Starbucks, by the way, is different from the one in Russia. The sugar in packets resembles powdered sugar and is less sweet.
Plain bread is not served anywhere. Instead of bread, they always give toast. Toasted and sometimes with butter.
Water is served for free. Usually, if not specified, it comes with ice and lemon.
The coffee is often so-so as well. It’s made better in Europe.
