The Vulgar Vegan

Super GemEast Garfield Park · Vegan Bakery/Cupcakes Community-sourced, unverified
📍 135 N Kedzie Ave Unit D-124, Chicago, IL 60612

The business traces back to a homemade chocolate-vanilla marble cake made for a kids' birthday party years before it became an actual bakery, and cupcakes served at a wedding not long after — the "vulgar" branding is a wink at how seriously it doesn't take itself while the baking itself is genuinely dialed in.

The Bullwinklers Special cupcake is the order, vegan and gluten-sensitive-friendly without sacrificing anything in the flavor.
📈 Scores in the top 78% of Budget Gems on ChicagoSpecials.com

It genuinely accommodates dairy-free and gluten-sensitive requests, and also sells at farmers markets and pop-ups. Owner Valerie Vedral opened a real storefront at The Brookfield Shops retail incubator in January 2026, giving the brand a public counter beyond this Hatchery production kitchen.

Holds a 5.0-star rating. Closed Monday, Tuesday, and Sunday.
