Before the Euro, they used to separate guilders and centen with an apostrophe in the same way we place a period between dollars and cents.  Looks like they are writing their prices the same way as in pre-euro days.

Here in the US we use the decimal point as the radix (integer to fraction) separator. Europe uses the comma.

 

I was referring to the "Tosti's" and "Panini's". Using an apostrophe incorrectly in the plural/possessive/contraction categories is my pet grammar peeve.

ETA: The pastries are gorgeous. I'll take two each of the macarons.
