Spinning J is a café, soda shop, and pie shop in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. The heart of Spinning J is a 1928 soda fountain bar, saved from demolition and reassembled in their shop. Take a seat on a bar stool, and enjoy a handmade seasonal-fruit soda, a Thai tea milkshake, or a great cup of coffee. Our roots are vintage, but our menu isn’t frozen in time. Stop by for a morning coffee and fresh pastry on the go, homemade soup and sandwich for lunch, an afternoon treat or post-dinner dessert. We’ve got something for everyone, anytime of day.
