After seven years in the Old Town neighborhood, The Twisted Spoke moved to Lincoln Park, where it's been equally if not more popular than before. Everything's made from scratch in this bakery, including the cookies, specialty sandwiches, smoothies and custom cakes. There's also fresh-brewed local coffee. Some of their most popular menu items are their creamy cheesecakes, and their breakfast sandwich, which is served on a chipotle cheddar biscuit with eggs, Canadian bacon and cheese. If the weather's nice, you can enjoy your sweets on the patio. If you overload on sugar, not to worry. The co-owner, Lisa Alexander, is a former intensive care unit nurse.
