Pretzel Time, Minneapolis

For a flaky croissant or old-fashioned chocolate chip cookie, Pretzel Time in Minneapolis' Summer-Glenwood neighborhood is the best bakery around. Foods low in fat are not on hand here, though, so get ready to loosen your belt buckle.

Parking can be a pain in the neck, but it's as available as ever near the bakery.

For a night out with great food that won't break the budget, head to Pretzel Time.
