Take a Walk Through Dinkel's Bakery (VIDEO)
Craving a homemade cookie or some fresh bread? You may want to stop by Dinkel's Bakery, a fourth-generation nearby business that got its start on North Side more than 90 years ago.
If you live on the North Side and you're on the prowl for fresh bakery, you'll likely consider Dinkel's.
The bakery opened its doors in 1922 at 3327 N. Lincoln Ave. in next-door Lake View. It was founded by Joseph K. Dinkel, according to its website, after he emigrated from Bavaria, Germany, where he trained as a master baker.

"Joseph worked together with his wife, Antonie Dinkel, to achieve a very successful retail bakery," the website says. "In 1932, his son, Norman J. Dinkel, joined the bakery. They worked together for many years providing wonderful baked goods to the Chicagoland area."
Now operated by third and fourth generation Dinkel's, the business is still going strong.
