Known for their delicious treats, Dinkel's has become an institution in the Lakeview neighborhood. If you're looking for a savory, way to start the morning, I highly recommend a Dinkel's Burglaur; eggs, bacon and spinach all baked in a warm focaccia-like bread. The Veggie Burglaur is made with Asiago, cheddar, egg and broccoli.These things fly off the shelves so make sure to get in early!

A pie from Hoosier Mama Pie Company will bring you back to Sunday at grandma's house. This is homemade, old fashioned pie at its best. Fresh ingredients, warm crust and delicious filling. Need I say more? Order online for your next party or stop in and try a slice. As Hoosier Mama says, "Keep your fork, there's pie!"

While it's hard to say any one donut here is the best, I'd have to vote for the old fashioned. This greasy, cakey indulgence is almost as big as your head. The smell alone will make it hard to only order one. The sheer size however, will quickly deter you from ordering multiple. When I say this is a big donut, I mean its entirety fits in a styrofoam takeout container.

Mindy's Hot Chocolate is known for just about every sweet out there. If you're going in with intentions to just have a bite of this or that, beware you'll be eating a lot more than intended.
