As a general trend, traditional breakfasts are less substantial in the warmer, more southern countries bordering the Mediterranean, while breakfasts are traditionally larger, with a greater variety of dishes and greater prevalence of hot dishes in the cooler northern- and central-European countries. Such breakfast is known as a European "Continental breakfast". It is a light snack meant to tide one over until lunch. It consists mainly of coffee and milk (often mixed as Cappuccino or latte) with a variety of sweet cakes such as brioche and pastries such as croissant, often with a sweet jam, cream, or chocolate filling. It is often served with juice.

The typical German breakfast consists of bread rolls or toast with butter, honey, jam, ham or sausage, a soft-boiled egg, and coffee. However, cereals have become popular and regional variation is significant. A typical breakfast in Denmark, similar to its southern neighbor Germany, consists of bread rolls or toast with butter and Danish slicing cheese, a buttery creamy white cheese, fruit jam, and a lot of coffee. A traditional Dutch breakfast consists of a combination of poached eggs, bacon, sausage, breakfast cake, and cold sliced meat such as smoked horse or smoked beef.

In Eastern European countries with cold climates, such as Russia, breakfasts tend to be substantial.
