There's a hand-written chalk sign among the old school advertisements and newspaper clippings on this bakery's walls: "Have you had your Lulu's cupcake today?" Well, have you? This three-year-old ice cream and cupcake shop counts Oprah among its fans, according to baker Billy Quigley.

Price: $2 - $2.60 (depending on filling)

Our take: The marshmallow filled Lulu's signature cupcake is tasty, adorable, and clearly modeled after the classic Hostess after school snack.
