The Charlotte-based bakery opened in Westside last summer. Coffee options are from Magnolia and locally roasted Rev, and the menu includes French pastries, desserts, soups, salads, and sandwiches.

Bartaco opened a Westside outpost last July, and then followed with a location adjacent to Chastain Park in March. With tacos, tamales, rice bowls, and more, nothing on the menu costs more than $10.

In addition to Indian street food, Masti offers a unique take on burgers, hot dogs, tacos, and more.

The Irwin Street Market pizzeria has quickly become a big hit. It's one of Atlanta's best options for pizza by the slice.

The Inman Park bakery from the Cakes & Ale team serves breakfast and lunch items, in addition to the solid pastries and breads.
