Next is Platt Park's Tokyo Premium Bakery, situated at 1540 S. Pearl St. With five stars out of 222 reviews on Yelp, the bakery, which offers coffee and tea, sandwiches and more, has proven to be a local favorite for those looking for an affordable option.

Yelper Dez J., who reviewed the business on Feb. 12, shared, "I could eat here every day! ... Flaky croissants, smoky bacony bread twists, sweet but not cloying fruit and custard combos, fluffy egg salad on a buttery pastry. All day. And I dare you to find anything with a slightly burned edge or catch them having an off day. You just won't. This is real deal bakery magic happening!"

3. Voodoo Doughnut
