Jade Cafe Chinese Stir Fried, 822 Central Ave, Highland Park, IL 60035, US

With its sleek, clean design and an airy, naturally lighted interior, the Corner Bakery in Highland Park is an attractive stand-out. It is conveniently located at the corner of 2nd and Central streets in the middle of the bustling downtown area. Its Pesto Cavatappi is as popular here as at the locations in Oakbrook, Willis Tower and the other 100 facilities. This one's architecture, which complements the town's classy ambiance, and its prime location draws crowds. After an early-morning jog, or before a long commute to the city, the Anaheim Scrambler breakfast is a good way to start the day.
