Home to roughly 100,000 proud Chicagoans, Lakeview is a mix of energy. The neighborhood is unofficially divided into smaller enclaves: Lakeview East, West Lakeview, Southport Corridor, Boystown & Wrigleyville. It's a mix of the bustling, the peaceful and everything in between. Here you'll find tourists and residents alike vying for space at popular restaurants, cafes, biergartens, boutiques, parks & the lakefront. It's also home to many of the city's "bests" in several categories.
Dinkel's is the kind of place that your mom might've taken you to as a kid. And you no doubt would've remembered it. With it's distinct neon and pink interior, the Lincoln Avenue bakery in West Lakeview is hard to miss. Since 1922, they've been churning out donuts, pastries, cakes and any number of other baked goods to grinning clientele. They also offer breakfast sandwiches and coffee if sweets aren't your thing. This kind of shop is a dying breed, but there's little worry that Dinkel's is going anywhere soon.
