    Great bakery with a nice selection. I took home a Danish and a loaf of Cinnamon Bread. We loved both!

    Soviet-style line and service await you at Kirchbaum's!

    Updating a previous review of mine. I thought I'd give Kirchbaum's another try. As mentioned previously, the ONLY thing worth getting are their chocolate frosted donuts. Well, now that is even a strike against Kirchbaum's. Rather than simply adjusting the price of the donuts to reflect inflationary pressure, they have kept the donuts price the same, but made them about half the size. Customers now get a 3 inch donut for the same price of the previous larger donut. This smaller size has also affected the quality... The donut is crisp beer, and significantly drier than the larger donuts that Kirchbaum's used to make. In fact, this drier and sandier texture makes it taste like a two day old doughnut rather than something that was supposedly baked fresh today.

    Got my order completely wrong, no apology or acknowledgment of the error or even try to make it right. Bad business for a small business.

Service was super friendly and they had my coffee poured even before I finished paying. They seemed to have regular customers that they greeted by name. I had a cold brew which is offered in two sizes. It was smooth and not bitter at all. Great spot, but tiny.

    I was in Hinsdale with my daughter at My Sister Kate and thought we'd get a hot chocolate before…read moreleaving. This is a very tiny coffee shop and for those of you not terribly familiar with Hinsdale (myself amongst them) the place looks like it's in an alley but it's not; you're turning down the right street. There are a few parking spots down here so that makes it convenient. The shop has a good drink menu and also has donuts/muffins/sandwiches. I had a breakfast panini and I liked it. I wasn't sure what I'd think since I am always a bit on the fence about avocado, but wanted to try it without modifications. I liked the black beans on it more than I expected to. Overall it's an ok spot but the drinks are better than the food options. The owner has a great handle on her regulars; she was greeting folks as they came in and remembered the coffee order of a woman who hasn't been in for a while because she remarked on how surprised she was that she remembered her usual. There's no seating in the cafe, it's strictly a grab-and-go place. But they have an app of their own that you can use to order, and based upon what the owner was telling a customer, it generally works better than using the Toast app.

    Just ok. They do have a good selection of ice cream and it…read moretasted good. I felt $7.49 for a single scoop hot fudge sundae was a little much but maybe it's inline with other ice cream places. My daughter did not like the strawberry banana smoothie she ordered. The young lady who helped us was cordial but not particularly friendly. The other girl behind the counter spent almost the entire time we were there (we ate our ice cream at a table inside) chatting with a female customer who she obviously knew. I also accidentally tipped my cup over at the register and about half of my whipped cream fell out onto the counter. I told the young lady who served us what happened, apologized and tried to clean it up a bit with some napkins. She only mentioned she could clean it - in hindsight it would have been nice if she had offered to give me a bit more to replace what I lost but that never happened. When she was done charging us, she then came out from behind the counter and sat and chatted with another third young lady who was there (possibly another worker?). It just gave an unprofessional vibe and I do wish more adults in businesses would provide the young adults with some guidance and lessons in good customer service within the hospitality industry.

    Good going Hinsdale! For years there was no ice cream shop downtown and after a lot of residents…read morerequests, Every Day's a Sundae opened here (last year I think?). And this shop is awesome!! They have a lot of flavors that can be eaten in cups, waffle/sugar/or plain cones, or in the form of shakes/malts. They also have banana splits, traditional sundaes, and floats/sodas. Plus other treats like gourmet popcorn and chocolate dipped bananas. The inside is decorated so cute! It's painted vintage lavender-pink and white. There are cute photos and a mural on the wall depicting the Sherman's ice cream they serve which provides a modernly executed old-fashioned charm. I liked the vintage ice cream wrapper puzzle framed on the wall (pictured.) We loved the ice cream. What they do right with their product is the wide selection of flavors. Lately Oberweiss has severely limited their selection (a lot of places have....category management was the necessity of the past decade). But it's ICE CREAM! When you go out, into downtown Hinsdale no less, you have come to expect greatness, gourmet, top-of-the-game kind of food situations. This assortment of flavors, cones, toppings, etc. brings that essence to the going out for ice cream experience but doesn't toss out the folksy soda-shop charm that goes so well with it (and doesn't make it feel forced, either.) This business so gets all of that. Nice job!

They've got groceries, meats, even liquor. All in one spot. Super convenient, honestly. I ordered a hot chocolate and a pastry. No name on the pastry, which somehow made it more tempting. It didn't look like anything i had before, so I went for it. Sat outside on their little patio and enjoyed the weather. The hot chocolate was creamy, sweet, with just a slight bitterness at the end and top of that some marshmallows, Really good. The pastry was flaky, light, and dipping it into the hot chocolate made it even better. Staff was friendly and helpful while I stood there deciding. Felt easy, not rushed. I'll be back for sure. Probably to try another unnamed pastry. Or two.
