McCafe is starting to appear on some Autobahn reststops. I ended up at one on the way to Holland a few weeks ago and it was surprisingly good (the only other one I have been to is near the McDonald's campus in the US) And it was served in a china cup with a Bahlsen cookie on the site.

How much has the concept of charging more for 'to go' caught on in the US (if at all?) It is common in western Europe, and the Bean Around the World microchain in St Hellier and Canada also charges this way.
