German immigrant Joseph Dinkel opened this Chicago institution in 1922, and it’s remained in the family ever since. It’s changed very little in the past 90 years, and their non-donut baked goods are legendary in their own right. But you haven’t truly experienced Dinkel’s until you’ve tasted their handmade donuts. While they’ve jumped on the maple-bacon bandwagon, you’re best off sticking with the classics: try the chocolate cake donut and try to not to weep. — Dan Myers, 12/14/2012

Tips
- Most Saturdays Dinkel's offers a maple bacon donut. You want this.
- The ham on Ziggy's Ham Sandwich is thickly cut, salty, still juicymiles away from the usual thin and slimy cold cuts. All it needs is a smear of some potent mustard, and it's good to go.
- Probably the best red velvet cupcake I've ever had, and I know red velvet cupcakes :)
- Strudel. Chocolate anything...
- Tuesday. Cupcakes are buy 1,get 1 free. Consider yourself warned. :)
- Buy 1 Get 1 free cupcakes every Tuesday!
- Baking in Lakeview since 1922, this popular German bakery turns out sour-cream doughnuts, German chocolate cookies and its signature sipn whisky cake, a Bundt cake made with sour mash whiskey.
- I recommend the custard Bismark
- BEWARE: bread loaves are charged by the pound, not each. Just bought a $5 challah.
- Their brownies are to die for!
- First timer-donuts, rye bread and rustic dinner rolls, all delicious. Lots of pastries, donuts, breads, cookies, decoratived cakes, German specialties, along with sandwiches, salads, coffee and more.
- Dinkels is known for its doughnuts, but we think the cookies deserve some love. Specifically, the oatmeal raisin, which strikes the perfect balance between soft and chewy.
- Every day there is a different special. Wednesday is donuts. Their cake donuts with choc icing are the best in town!
- Baker's sunrise sandwich
- really classic bakery and donut shop. can't go wrong with their sweet and heavy maple walnut cake.
- What's good here? Everything. Seriously. Sandwiches are great for breakfast or lunch. Donuts/Pastries great.
- The chocolate donuts are the best! They also have a 6lb pretzel that you can order and make sandwiches. Never a bad experience!
- Breakfast sandwiches, although not made very quickly, are worth the wait...so good!
- Yes, there are plenty of cakes and pastries, but don't overlook the boxes of tasty cookies.
- Beat cookies ever
