Spinning J Bakery

Spinning J Bakery is a quaint and charming spot located on the corner of California and Augusta Avenues, in a vintage storefront that once housed an art gallery. The cafe is housed in a beautiful early 1900s building, and the space is filled with lovely vintage furniture, creating a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere. With limited seating, it can feel intimate, but it's worth the wait. The counter service is quick, and the friendly staff adds to the welcoming vibe. The menu features a selection of delicious breakfast sandwiches, pastries, seasonal pies, and even classic gelato and soda-fountain treats. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast or just a sweet treat, Spinning J offers a little something for everyone. Their lattes are always well-crafted, and the seasonal pies are a must-try, with each slice packed with flavor. The marble bar, salvaged from an old Milwaukee drug store, adds a touch of history to the space, making this a place not just for food, but for an experience. Whether you're popping in for a quick bite or relaxing with a pastry, Spinning J Bakery is a delightful stop in the heart of Chicago.
