There’s lots of options to choose from (more on the sweeter side). Heads up, this is a grab and go bakery, therefore, there is no indoor seating (only a bar to stand at outside). They will also not heat up the pastries :/
The hot fudge babka $6⭐️4/5 It did not really taste like it had chocolate… it was still delicious, but it tasted more like an apples strudel and banana bread mix—yummy but not chocolate babka lol
The smoked ham brown grainy mustard + Gruyère croissant ($7.50) ⭐️2/5 This didn’t hit it for me :/ If you know you love gruyère cheese, then I say give it a go, if you’re unsure, probably try something else?
Update: Hot fudge croissant ⭐️3.5/5 A bit on the drier side and I felt that they skimped on the chocolate a bit. But it was a delicious pastry
Blackberry cheesecake danish ⭐️3/5 This was yummy and an easy to-go eat. I wish there was a bit more cheese tho
Banana bread cold brew ⭐️4/5 Idk how they do it, but this legit tastes like banana bread in a drink. Perfect for the fall season.

I had the pleasure of visiting Mindy's twice in July when visiting my best friend. Both times, I got the banana bread iced latte. No kidding- I think about this coffee at least once a week!!! I hope to return again in the future and will definitely keep an eye out for if they ever offer syrups for sale!!!

One of the best gluten free bakery selections in the city (and of course, plenty of regular baked goods). I've been multiple times and tried the GF bagels, muffins, cookies and other pastries. Line can be long but moves fast.
I really appreciate how Mindy's varies the flavors and puts as much effort and creativity into the 2-3 gluten free items as the rest of the baked goods. There's always something new to try and get excited about. The strawberry danish is truly the only time I've had something resembling good, flaky pastry in 8 years of being gluten free. Bravo!

Bagels were rock hard and not cut, creme cheese sold separately. The spot in itself is overrated and very rushed. Coffee had no flavor and very bitter.

always busy but usually worth it. unfortunately their uber-popular breakfast sandwich is definitely worth the easy rise to get it. it was wonderful. they have some interesting pastries - I really liked their s’mores cake (super moist and the marshmallow was unique). their bolognese flaky pastry was good too, but just a little too sweet for me. we also had the little hot fudge scone thing? it had a really fun breakable texture. however, i got the raspberry one a few weeks later, and it was wayyy too sweet.
their cold brew was super unique though! no expresso, but the cold brew came with a foam on top that gave the drink overall the perfect amount of acidity
I got a hot fudge croissant, a baklava croissant, and a vodka pesto sauce bialy. Pastries were full of flavor! Really enjoyed the bialy. Looking forward to returning and trying their bagels.

Easily my favorite bakery in Chicago. I'm pretty picky about baked goods but we found this place when another bagel spot nearby was closed and it was the best find of our lives We had a laminated brioche that blew our minds! We've been hooked ever since. The chocolate chip cookies are unreal. I love it when she tries new things but those breakfast sandwiches are a staple that I need every day I can get my hands on them Also, the folks behind the counter are so warm and wonderful and welcoming. They're as sweet as the baked goods and keep us coming back for more

I drove from Dayton to Chicago to visit family. I learned that Mindys was within long walking distance from their apartment. It was definitely worth the trek. There was a good gluten free selection for my aunt. She eat the chocolate muffin and couldn't tell it was gluten free. Same for the strawberry danish and gf bagel . My wife likes croissants. She was amazed how beautiful her croissant was. The taste was also great buttery flavor. I rounded out with 2 bialy. A good onion smell and a great taste. 5 of us shared a great breakfast this morning. C.M. recommended this place for me.
