Helmut’s Strudel

Helmut’s Strudel is featured this year at Chicago’s Christkindlmarket in Daley Plaza. Its originally from Fredericksburg, VA so unless you are going to VA soon, I would recommend coming straight to the Christkindlmarket instead to try their baked goods. I had their apple strudel which had come straight out of the oven so it was steaming hot and full of yummie goodness! You can see and smell the food going in and out of the oven. Definitely served fresh! And when its below zero outside, the pastries fresh out of the oven will warm you right up! They also serve hot chocolate here and in my opinion was a large cup portion than all the other vendors at this event. PLUS, they take all sorts of credit cards which the other vendors do not do. My apple strudel was covered in a light dusting of powdered sugar and every bite was extremely flaky. These people know how to do strudel!!! They also have savory pastries here as well. At $ 4 (half) to $ 8 (full) a serving, its definitely affordable.
