bakery counter

Bread shop showcase

A bakery counter is the display case and service area in a bakery or grocery store where baked goods are sold.

Customers view items through glass, point to what they want, and a worker retrieves it: I grabbed a number and waited at the bakery counter.

The term also refers to the department itself: She works the bakery counter on weekends.
