This place is a hidden Gem in NWI (Ridge Road Munster across from Stracks ) , but the food is amazing menu changes daily , weekly everything is fresh - We've gone numerous times carryout We have never been Disappointed! Tried the Gouda bacon Cheese burger this weekend was ridiculously Good would have paid 15+ for it - sorry the pics don't do Justice to the Taste , since everything is carryout right now Chris packs the meat separate from bun veggies !! Don't have to worry about a sloppy bun , wilted veggies - Check Them out oh and his Bacon is some of best I've had

First of all, they do contactless carry out and we really appreciated that. Second, the food is unreal. The variety, quality and unique options make it worth the visit. We wanted a break from cooking breakfast and couldn't have chosen a more perfect place to order from. We got a pretty wide variety and there wasn't a single thing that disappointed us. I'm more of a sweet gal but would lean towards ordering more of the savory options because they really stood out to me. Empanadas and quiches are very good and the croissants are so pillowy soft. As far as the sweets go: the cigars stood out to us as a clear winner. If you're looking for a place that makes unique, flavorful breakfast eats that would be hard to make yourself, this is it.

Really glad we drove the extra mile for this. The owner will become your fast friend. Menu changes daily but is guaranteed delicious. The donuts are soft, the croissants are flaky and amazing. Vegetarian and carnivore friendly. If we weren't just passing through, this would be a regular spot!

Horrible service, way over price, my wife even got sick. Saw rodent traps and even seen bugs. beware stay away. Who said when I visited the location. This owner has been reported to authorities for threatening legitimate reviews. Also warned by Yelp. Edited after owner response. also it was take out as well. Sad you can't leave a legitimate review without the business owner threatening you. Take responsibility and clean up your act or close it down. Very disappointing!!!! read more

I was skeptical at first, given the hole in the wall nature and also the diverse array of menu items. I feel that people should stick to what they know and not branch out. Donuts AND empanadas??? Sounded too good to be true. Having ordered both, I am AMAZED at the taste and flavors! I ordered everything on the breakfast menu that day and they were all amazing! I will be coming back next Saturday to check out their lunch!!! read more
This is not your typical sit down service breakfast place. More of the all in one homemade: sandwich, croissant, quiche and breakfast pastry items. The quality is incredible, on par with what a five star restaurant would serve. We had: kielbasa empanada, bacon and egg quiche, bacon, ham, egg and cheese croissant. We took the sweets to go, almond cigar, and chocolate croissant. You could not ask for more reasonable prices either. This will most definitely be the breakfast stop for Road trips passing through Indiana. It is only six minutes off the highway. The owner is very nice and patient, I had to hear everything twice. We will be back, I am looking forward to trying something new. You won't regret your visit here.. Enjoy #AlfieEats read more

Upon my arrival the guy ran out and grabbed the sandwich board, ran back inside, and locked the door behind him. It was 2:00 and they advertise as 7:00 close. Also it's phone order only per the sign he grabbed. Wow I feel unwelcome and my business unappreciated. read more

I'm writing this review because I want this business to be around for forever. Dear Mr. Timbrook, I want to thank you for your yelp deals. For selling the most amazing pastries I've ever eaten at a fraction of what I would pay for it in Chicago (and not nearly as good as yours is either). I tried a pineapple coconut custard pie today and it was life changing. Your lemon donut sticks are part of the reason I make the 35 minute trip once a week. Please don't increase your prices. Please keep making the best sweets in the Midwest. Please keep offering me end of the day deals. And please always stay incredible! Oh, and there are sandwiches there too, but I'll have put down this pie and order that another time. See you soon! read more

Great food! You must give them a try if you're in the area! Love the cruffins. The lunch menu is also very tasty
For those looking for a place to have a good meal without breaking your budget, this will more than likely fit the bill. I had heard about this place over a year ago at the Chesterton European Market.and had been past here several times since then. Finally last week I went into the little strip mall where this is located and found it (only to find it was closed for the holiday). I then went a few days later after searching for a different place for a bite to eat. I ended up getting a mushroom/cheese quiche (on a bed of hash browns), raspberry danish, and coffee...all under $10.00. That was a pleasant surprise. The food itself was great and a decent portion. I like the vibe of the place too....cozy and small (not many tables). The owner was there too and he was very friendly to talk to. Will definitely be back here to sample more of their great food. read more

Just finished our lunch from Timbrook and it was very good. That would be our third trip here since our first visit a week ago! Today we had Crab Nixon Pie, turkey meatloaf panini, spinach and Kerry gold cheddar croissant (with ham), chicken artichoke pie, and corn chowder. We have also tried the bacon cheddar hash brown pie, salmon dill havarti pie, mushroom feta pie, croissant-wrapped kielbasa, spinach feta pie, potato soup, strawberry cream cheese pie, and key lime pie. Everything has tasted incredible. Savory and sweet, there are no misses so far on the menu -- all hits. If we were to nitpick, we like our soup thicker, but the flavors were bold and tasty. And we have at least half the menu to try yet, with new items to look forward to. Customer service is outstanding. Pay by credit or debit card and get your receipt via email. Fill up your loyalty card and get free items! It won't take long if you are like us! read more

Sorry but I have to drop a star. There is no reliability in their business hours. Lately every time I've tried to stop in they have been closed. I do understand it's a small business and they may need to close occassionally for big catering gigs. That being said, it's still disappointing. read more

I wish I could give this place a higher rating because the food is outstanding, however I cannot. They are never open. They post on their Facebook page (when it hasn't been taken down because that's how they handle telling their customers they're closed) the menu the day of. There have been a few times where they will post the day before the menu, and then you try to go the next day and they are "closed for catering". Why bother posting a menu for that day if you are closed for supposed catering? The food is amazing, but they don't know how to run a business. You need to be more reliable and transparent about what is going on with your business instead of hiding everything and not answering to any one of your customers. I would be giving this place a 5 star review hands down for the food. They just need to figure out a way to let the customers know what is going on with the hours more than a day in advance. read more

I have been to this place several times. I can honestly say that their sweets were delicious. The place is a great hidden away spot. If you're ever in the neighborhood stop in and treat yourself. Get the loyalty card because I assure you that you'll be back. Place like this is why we need small businesses. read more

WOW is all I can say.... WHY didn't I know about this, and WHERE has this been all my life????? Thats what we figured out when I walked through the day on a Saturday am! I said in Spanish to my friend as we walked in...."small and cute" then I heard in Spanish "but its delicious" from 2 regulars! Boy were they right... everything was fresh made, gorgeous, well priced and so yummy! Coffee was fantastic!!! It was a solo deal with The owner who was so friendly, sweet taking care of everything!! Now I am pretty sure a Jenny Craig Angel loses its wings every time someone walks in through the door.....and I am SOOO happy for small places like this. YUMMY! 5 Stars! read more

If you're traveling through the south Chicago/northwest Indiana area, this is a great place to stop for some very tasty savory breakfast items, including delicious quiches and egg croissant sandwiches and yummy pastry like scones and flaky, flavorful "cigars" filled with cinnamon and various fruit fillings. The service is graciously provided by the proprietor, Chris, who is the self-described, baker, waiter, accountant and janitor. My 11-year old daughter had the cheese and bacon quiche and said the bacon was perfect. I had a piece of the mushroom quiche and it was quite good. What we really loved most, though, was the cinnamon "cigar!" What a great find! read more

Recently went to a concert in Chicago and to cut cost stayed overnight near Timbrook Kitchens. So glad I found this place on Yelp! The owner baker has a dry personality but is pleasant and happy to explain all o led his tasty creations. NOTE: the cafe front is in a U - shape plaza with no vodka or signage from the road. It's directly across the street from a grocery store called Sharps (I think that was the of anyway). We stopped in for a quick breakfast before hitting the road back to Indy. My only regret is that I didn't bring home more goodies! I had a personalized sized quiche. I think it had a potato crust. It was very good. I probably could have eaten two but would have been too stuffed for a long car ride. I also grabbed a croissant muffin for the road. It was buttery, flakey with a sweet carmel glaze topping. So good! My travel companion mirrored my order and I picked up that tab totaling $12!!! I can't get breakfast out in Indy for $12. He had breakfast sandwiches, pies and much more. I am planning to make a trip back to Chicago just so I can stop here! read more

I have loved every single thing I have eaten here. The owner makes everything in small batches, so it is all fresh and you can tell contains immense attention to detail and quality. The food also has a certain lightness to it,never too heavy or rich. My personal favorites include the mozzarella and chorizo with eggs on a pretzel bun, the quiches, and the raspberry muffins. But seriously, try everything..it's all amazing. read more

I was a little apprehensive when I walked in due to the decor and overall appearance of the place. It's a little out dated. However l was pleasantly surprised. The owner was so kind and generally interested in us. They have a small but generous enough selection of sweet and savory dishes. We chose to eat a broccoli and mozzarella quiche, a bacon and cheddar quiche, and a sausage filled croissant. All three were outstanding. The owner had some chocolate croissants and pecan pie that looked great but we were so full. I would definitely recommend coming in here if you have the chance. Nice quiet environment, great food, and amazing prices. read more

I'm sorry I didn't take a picture, because the food was so delicious that my family devoured it before having a chance. We had veggie quiche, salmon dill pastry, egg sandwiches, cinnamon and lemon cigars, and the rhubarb crumble. Everything was incredible, fresh, baked to perfection. It's rare that you have such a variety and no complaints. We're from NY and we have high expectations when it comes to our food! Do not miss this stop about 5 minutes off the highway! The owner was also very nice to chat with. read more

What a delightful little nook of deliciousness this is!! Cinnamon cigars are flaky and tender and bursting with buttery cinnamon layers. Everyone entering knew the owner and many regulars stopped in this cloudy Mothers Day at 9am. Hot coffee in real mugs, and a huge assortment of scones, mini quiche and danish, all freshly baked! I can't wait to return read more

Found this hidden gem on Facebook and glad I did. I ordered the chicken pot pie and pot roast pie for dinner and both were excellent. Have to put in order early because he makes everything fresh to order and picked up and baked it at home and everyone loved their dinners. Also, he has different soups for everyday and is always adding new goodies. read more

I'm yet one of those who just happened to find this place on Yelp and went in immediately that day for lunch to see if it was all that. Indeed, it was. Chris, the owner, is a wonderfully friendly person. He greeted each person who walked in the door. It was clear that many of the customers were regulars, as he engaged in conversation with them about work, kids, politics, etc. I love the short menu and the formula to put together a delicious meal. I chose two pieces of savory pies, a salad, a drink, and a dessert. All for $10. Plus, he gave me an extra bit of the house special salad for me to try. Artichoke/chicken pie, delicious. Spinach/feta pie delicious. Both were flavorful, right blend of moisture to hold it all together. Orzo feta salad very good (a bit dry for my taste), but the house asian salad of cabbage, peanuts, and an Asian style dressing. There was a great selection of pastries, pies, sweets and savories. The sandwich menu was brief, yet creative and impressive. I am very happy that I found this gem through Yelp. It will be a great addition to my eating repertoire in Northwest Indiana. read more

Timbrook was a delightful gem to stumble upon on route to St. Joseph MI from Chicago. My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick lunch, and decided to come here after seeing the good reviews. We walked in and had a warm greeting from the shop owner, Chris, who walked us through his entire menu. We both got the $10 lunch deal (which included a main item, a side, a dessert and a drink!)--so for both us us paying only $20 total, we ended up with two pieces of savory pie (chicken artichoke, and feta spinach!), two pieces of sweet pie (strawberry cream, and chocolate peanut butter--mmm!), one HUGE turkey panini, a cup of soup (with all kinds of yummy things in it), a hearty portion of asian slaw, and two drinks. The portions were super generous, but most importantly, DELICIOUS! We talked with Chris about about his pies and other items, and it's clear he has a passion for food--keeping up on trends and experimenting with ingredients that you'd find in big cities. My boyfriend and I are from DC, and travel to other cities often, so that sets a high bar with food! read more

We found Timbrook Kitchens on yelp and took a chance. Every thing was so delicious. It's all made in house. We had a smoked salmon hand pie, the roasted red pepper and mozzarella quiche with a potato crust, rhubarb buckle, chocolate croissant, bacon egg and cheese croissant sandwich. I tasted everything and was not disappointed in anything. It was all so good that I forgot to take pictures. read more
We found our go to place for pies in Northwest, IN!!!! We met the owner, Chris, and had a fantastic time chatting it up, drinking gourmet coffee and enjoying chocolate pecan pie!! They also have salads, sandwiches, breakfast pies and savory pies, like Crab Nixon! This place is a must visit if you are within 30 minutes of Munster! Call before hand to make sure they have what you want. When it is gone, it is gone! read more

Nice little place with great food selection that is in constant flux. I love a menu that's on a blackboard. If they have cinnamon cigars... get one or three! I need to time it to try some of their cinnamon rolls, too. The savory pies are amazing. Another visit.. a nice giardiniera-mozzarella quiche and a BEC croissant. Pot roast sandwich also works for breakfast! read more

I first tried Timbrook Kitchens at the Munster farmer's market. Now that the market is done for the year my partner and I will be making a visit to the storefront our Sunday morning tradition, because we are not willing to give up our weekly dose of delicious savory pies. Some highlights: Breakfast hand pies with hash brown crust. I especially love the bacon cheddar pie (as does everyone else, it seems, since it sells out very quickly). The sausage one is also very good. There are other varieties, all of which sound delicious, but I can't remember them because all I ever pay attention to is that bacon pie! Savory mini hand pies. Smoked salmon and dill and ham and cheddar are the two that come to mind. I believe there is one with crab. Full-sized savory pies with phyllo dough. You can get just a slice of these (but you should probably get more than one). The buffalo chicken is delicious. I'm also always eyeing the feta spinach one, although I haven't gotten it. There are also, of course, sweet pies. I'm not much of a sweets person, but I did try the Butterfinger pie and I couldn't stop eating it. There is a dark chocolate pecan pie that I'd really like to try. Their pies are always rotating. They have soup at the shop. I had rosemary tomato, and it was probably the best tomato soup I've ever had (even if I was nursing a burnt tongue the rest of the day). I don't know why savory pies aren't more popular in this country, but I do know that I'm glad to live near this place. read more
