Bakery
GREAT BUNS
3270 E. Tropicana Ave.
The unusual name likely intrigues pun-loving people more than the literal-minded but, either way, the majority of voters agreed this versatile and fresh-stocked bakery deserved a Best of Las Vegas banner. Albertson's supermarkets leaped into the bridesmaid's spot.
Our Pick:
BAGEL CAFE
301 N. Buffalo Drive
Easy access from U.S. 95 makes this often-bustling establishment a valid lunch-hour choice for workers as far away as downtown. Seating is usually quick and customers must pass the enticing array of baked goods. Actually, all the homemade bagels, breads and pastries, including such hard-to-find Jewish staples as challah, get the taste buds misting for other items on the menu. And yes, you must walk past the takeout displays as you leave. Good luck.
