Mindy's Bakery
Mindy's Bakery is pastry chef Mindy Segal's grab-and-go bakery on Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park, known for bagels, babka, and croissants. Its daily menu, dated the day this record was checked, labels gluten free items (a gluten free muffin and coffee cake, with several bagels available gluten-free), and its catering page states that the bakery offers gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free pastries. Both pages carry the same honest limit: everything is baked in a small facility that carries nuts, cross contamination cannot be ruled out, and the catering page says the bakery may not be a suitable option for a severe allergy. The record is valuable precisely because the bakery publishes both the options and the limits.

ConfidentDiner collects allergen and preparation information from restaurants’ published materials, from restaurants themselves, and from diners. Information is dated and sourced, but menus, ingredients, suppliers, staff, and kitchen practices change without notice, and cross-contact can occur in any non-dedicated kitchen. Nothing on this site is medical advice or a guarantee that any restaurant or dish is safe for any individual. Always tell the restaurant about your allergy, confirm current practices directly before ordering, and make your own decision with your medical professional’s guidance.

Questions to ask before you order
- Is the fryer shared with breaded or battered items, and what else is cooked in that oil?
- Is there a separate prep area, boards and utensils for allergy orders?
- How is an allergy order flagged and communicated to the kitchen, so it cannot be mixed up?
- How are staff trained on food allergies, and how often is that training refreshed?
- Which parts of the kitchen, if any, are kept free of my allergen?
