I was so sad to hear this bakery closed. I loved their bear claws and their huge selection of baked goods. It always smelled heavenly when you enter.

I was saddened to see Dinkel's bakery closing. My mother used to go there when she was little with her cousins. It was my first time going. The wait was totally worth it. I got to meet Mr. Dinkel. He was super nice. The pastries were awesome. Unfortunately there isn't another place like this one.

Just learned that this 100 year old Chicago bakery - an excellent, old world Windy City emporium - closes its doors for the last time on April 30. Do you like strudel? Are you finding ginger cookies? Are jelly-filled Bismarck's your favorite donuts? MAKE A TRIP TO DINKEL'S WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Shame this place must go but all good things must come to an end I guess. Came in an hour early before they open to beat the lines and was glad I did it. Doughnuts were great they were flavorful and the pastries were amazing but scarce since everyone is buying a lot at once. Spent a little over $54 for 2 dozen donuts and 2 pastries and is probably worth it since they'll be closing down soon forever. Wish I knew more about this place beforehand.

Closes permanently 30APR2022, got my last box of goodies. The donuts are not overly sweet but has that old world recipe for light, cakey donuts. But I was most impressed by the chocolate croissant. They did not skimp on the chocolate. Cheese danish was flaky and substantial. This place will be missed.
