Spinning J Bakery and Soda Fountain

Cafe · Humboldt Park

"With its antique soda fountain imported from Milwaukee to Humboldt Park, Spinning J capitalizes on nostalgia, and visitors may feel like they've stepped through a time warp — except that the bakers like to experiment with unusual flavor combinations, like gin and tonic and Key lime hibiscus." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
