Crystal City Bakers

CORNING. Set in a simple, rectilinear, white-brick building, this awesome bakery doesn't readily give away its appeal from the outside. Once inside, though, you'll be struck by the range of goodies available. Large trays of pastries, doughnuts, and cookies sit alongside pies, cakes, and breads of all varieties, and the aroma of just-baked temptations is enough to make your mouth water. If you can withstand their allure in favor of lunchtime fare, opt for a sub sandwich or pizza, which are made fresh on the premises and taste just as good in-house as for take-out.
