"Spinning J is a little bakery and soda shop on a quiet Humboldt Park corner with hand-stenciled walls, a rehabbed 1920s counter, and a display case of freshly made, seasonal pies. Diners have traveled far and wide for these bad boys, made by owner Dinah Grossman and her team, but neighbors are just as likely to swing through for a slice of thick, cloud-like quiche or steaming pot pie. And like any soda fountain worth its fizz, Spinning J makes all of its syrups in-house." - Nicole Schnitzler
