Since Brazil is considered a symbol of the world's coffee trading, we can assume that the people here are quite accustomed to the caffeine-filled beverage.
If Brazil represents coffee trading (and a lot more things) then coffee definitely represents everyones breakfast.
For example, Brazilians use the term café-da-manhã (morning coffee) to refer to breakfast. Breakfast differs in Brazil from region to region. Black coffee, cow milk, yogurt and white cheese are quite popular, and so are fruit juices (especially natural fruit juices). The coffee or juice accompanies french bread or sliced bread with jam or butter, grilled sandwiches of ham and cheese called misto-quente, slices of cake such as corn cake, orange cake and carrot cake.
An interesting fact is that in some Cuban regions, toasted buttered Cuban bread is dunk into coffee (sound tempting, and I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it).
