Veggie staple! I love the new menu changes! I have been eating here for at least 13 years and I am thrilled to have newer options. Love all the gluten free options now too, especially that new cheesecake. So nice to see a little menu revamp while keeping the favs. Well done! - also their delivery travels/holds up a lot better than most, so that's a plus.

Order through Uber eats and there was a mix up with the order. I called and they worked with me to fix the situation and even threw in another item on the house. Great customer service! Then once we got the food it was also great! We ordered 2 pizzas gluten free due to dietary restrictions and it was excellent! A nice fluffy crust with a crispy bottom. Would definitely recommend.

I love that they have gluten free/dairy free/egg free crepes. It’s buckwheat so it tastes a bit funny and sticky but it’s ok. The savory flavor was ok for me but the sweet one: honey, walnut and strawberry was great. Amazing tea selection and nice big mugs

I live in the neighborhood and have been to Mindy’s many times. The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly and kind. Everything I’ve had from there is SO good, from their bagels to biscuits to cookies to donuts! They have gluten free bagels and some gluten free sweets too, that are delicious. I highly recommend Mindy’s Bakery!

Absolutely incredible food. No choice is a bad choice. Our server Rebecca was super sweet. Helped me navigate as a celiac needing gluten free, she was very kind and made sure my food wasn't in contact with gluten. Sauces are gluten free too! I got the burnt ends. Portion seems sort of small but it was more than enough.

Amazing food. Most of their menu is customizable so you can make it vegetarian or vegan. My spouse has Celiac’s and they were super careful and accommodating. Every time someone comes to visit me I make sure to bring them. Their Huevos Volando is a dream come true, as have been their chai, coffee, lemonades, and everything there we’ve tasted.

Always a great energy & environment. Their patio on a nice day is awesome. I’ve had dinner here multiple times and it’s always great. We recently had brunch and it was delicious. They have limited vegetarian/gluten free options but are willing to omit ingredients when needed.

Where do we begin? We went with West Town Bakery for our wedding cake because my wife has a dairy allergy, so we needed a vegan cake. We are excited to find West Town because there are very few places in Chicago with vegan wedding cake options that aren't also gluten-free. However, working with West Town was very disappointing. First off, when we went to taste test the cake options, not all of the promised vegan options were available (despite ordering these options in advanced). However, we were able to make a selection we liked based on what they had available at the time. Second, when we decided on our flavor options and wanted to learn more about their wedding cake ordering process, we had the unfortunate experience of working with the most inept employee we'd ever encountered. He didn't know half the answers to our basic questions like how far in advance should we pay and if sheet cakes were an option (despite supposedly working in the cake department) and then sent us a invoice that had our cake and payment details totally wrong. We had to send him a corrected invoice before we were comfortable paying the reservation fee. If we had any other options for a vegan wedding cake, we would have changed cake vendors at this point, trust us. Thankfully, a few days later, that employee left West Town Bakery, and we were paired with a far more competent employee. And we naively thought things would improve. Unfortunately, when we went to update our cake order based on our final guest count (before the final changes deadline in our contract with West Town) they again sent us a contract/invoice with incorrect wedding cake details (no note about the cake needing to be vegan) and wildly incorrect payment due dates. We again sent them a corrected invoice and got assurances that the cake order was updated and would be correct! Then comes the wedding day. Not only was the cake delivered one hour late, but they also delivered the wrong order. They did not update our wedding cake order for the accurate number of guests despite having confirmed that they would. This resulted in us having a much smaller display cake than we requested and paid for and much more sheet cake that we did not need! The only reason they are getting 2 stars is because the cake actually tasted good and my wife didn't have an allergic reaction, so we guess it was at least dairy free.

My friend and I came here to eat brunch, it took us a while to find the entrance because it was hidden. But it’s not that bad because it’s super easy to locate once you walk inside. When we got in, we were greeted by staff and got to our table really quickly. The service was pretty fast and nice. One of the servers was even telling us jokes, which was super sweet of them. The waiter is also knowledgeable about the menu (my friend has a gluten free diet), so he was able to help my friend find a gluten free option. The food was super good, I really loved the French toast and the portion they give is big as well. Definitely a good atmosphere to the area and loved it a lot.

Went for a dinner and a brunch. Both were very good. Their gluten free substitutions were tasty, and the rest of their food and drink were very good. The potatoes at brunch were quite unique and tasty! The roasted vegetabl dinner was the highlight of the meal. The service was very good...a bit slow during brunch, but not enough to ruin the meal!
