This magnificent family-owned bakery and cake shop has enlivened a corner of Cermak Avenue in West Pilsen for 35 years.

Choosing from such a tempting selection is a hard task, but there’s no need—with Central’s unbelievably low prices, a sack of more pastries than you can possibly eat will set you back fewer than five dollars.
