Jaffa Bagel Chicago, IL

For a quick affordable breakfast in the Loop, you can't get any better than Jaffa Bakery. A bagel and cream cheese costs about $2, and the staff at Jaffa Bakery makes several varieties of both from scratch. The lunch options are limited: one type of sandwich, chicken kebab, or falafel. But the roasted turkey sandwich, which can be served with healthy condiments such as hummus and cucumbers, is popular enough that Jaffa Bakery doesn't need to expand their menu. For something fresh and fruity, try one of their many juices or smoothies. The smoothies are made with French vanilla yogurt and can be blended with milk, honey, peanut putter, or fruit. -Betsy Mikel
