Every now and then, you come across a new restaurant or bakery that completely exceeds all of your wildest expectations. You go into the experience with assumptions and predictions, and all of them are wrong in the best possible way. This was Mindy's Bakery for me.
I am a huge sucker for pastries,
Fabulous! Great bakery with sweet and savory. Line moves quickly. Coffees and teas available. Bagels, cookies , savory sandwich-type offerings. Not so much donuts. More other stuff. Ice cream in pints available, don’t think cones are offered.
Worth a visit both for hot chocolate and bakery part. There might be some queue though. Get ready for the Minimum 10minutes waiting time at weekends.
Almond croissant and their bagel(especially Black Russian) are my favs. Only cold version is available in the summer time. If the weather is sunny, e
5 stars all the way. I’ve had Mindy’s on my list for a long time but because I don’t live in the neighborhood it just hasn’t happened. Today was the day and it did not disappoint. We came Thursday morning about 8:30am and we were the only ones there, no line out the door or any madness I’ve read abo
There were very interesting flavor options for the savory viennoiserie and the execution was great. The dough base was solid but the flavor is where it shined. The item I had included very thick bacon, Gruyère, and Thai basil.
September 2022 we learned about the existence of Mindy's Bakery. We live near the Wisconsin border and don't go to Chicago often. Plus their usual Thursday thru Sunday, 6am to 3pm schedule never seemed to afford my fam the opportunity to visit. June 2023 was my birthday month and someone was blessin
Our new favorite bakery - love this spot. Lines out the door so be prepared to wait. Wait is worth it. The pastries are divine. Homemade good ingredients. Pastries a little sweet for me to have daily but once in a while definitely worth it.
Got the lemon blueberry danish and the almond croissant for my partner. Both delish. Fair prices given the portions and appreciate that there wasn’t some dumb service fee or intense pressure to tip that is becoming so pervasive anywhere that serves food around here. Will be back.
The line was out the door and there is a good reason for it. There is no a very limited space to stand indoor and max out at about 8 people to eat by the window. There was so much good bakes in front of us that it was hard to control ourselves. Everything was so fresh and the smell of beautiful warm
One of my favorite Chicago bakeries with the best staff in town. The bagels and banana yum yum cake keep me coming back way too often. The line moves quick if there is one so don't let it put you off.
The bakes are quite good, but a little overpriced compared to other similar or higher quality bakeries in Chicago.
It can be very busy specially during the weekends so come prepared to wait!
The twice baked almond croissant tastes like a kiss from a holy cherub - baked to perfection with the perfect soft to crunch ratio. The chive and sausage danish was also a hit to my speechless tastebuds.
Expect a long line out the door that, upon first bite, you’d expect to be longer.
Recommend: enjoyed a hot chocolate and their take on twix bar. Both tasted amazing and all their bakery looked great. I will certainly stop by to try any of their other bakery items.
I wish the space had more table seating. As said above the hot chocolate with giant marshmallow on top was amazing,
Don't be disheartened by the wait, it's SO worth it once you get inside those doors. It's warm inside and the ambiance makes you feel comfortable and cozy. The service was also fantastic.
The duck confit and apple butter croissant was definitely the winner. Flakey, buttery, and the duck confit is d
The BEST bakery in Chicago! Mindy and her team bake every savory and sweet pastry fresh daily. They have two bakes - one in the morning and one right around noon - and lines are always out the door. Everything is first come first served and until the pastries run out. It's all well worth the wait, e
My favorite Chicago bakery!! Everything is so delicious! The vegan banana bread is a must!
Found my new favourite bakery in Chicago! There is a line out the door and now we know why.
We had a bialy with onion and cream cheese, which was really nice and hit the spot. The Danish with caramelised apples and creme brûlée could have done with a bit more creme filling and the streusel are almos
Hot chocolate here is absolutely amazing. Very rich. You can probably share a cup of with a friend or two. I had the hash for breakfast and it’s everything you’d expect and then some from a pot roast and potato hash, down to the perfectly cooked egg. Loved the entire experience here. Just visiting f
