I prefer to go to the overpass end point, to show how easy is to extract
OpenStreetMap data. It is faster than installing a plugin.

For a talk, use the overpass Wizard to build the query.

1) Go to http://overpass-turbo.eu/
2) Search for Zurich
3) Open the Wizard
4) Just type: bakery
5) Build and run query
6) Export as GeoJson
7) Add layer to QGIS (eventually points and polygons; calculate the
centroids for the polygons in QGIS)

Good luck for your presentation.

Regards,

Jorge Gustavo
