Vaca’s Creamery

4.9

Vaca’s Creamery was created out of Mariana and Dylan’s love for vegan ice cream, and a desire to make it outstanding. Though Mariana is from Brazil and Dylan is from the suburbs of Chicago, they met in Austin, Texas, working at one of the first vegan ice cream shops in the country. Years later, after starting a vegan, gluten-free waffle cone business in ATX, a vegan home bakery, and moving to Chicago during the pandemic, Vaca’s finally became a reality in May 2021!

Spinning J Bakery and Soda Fountain

Spinning J was built using almost entirely reclaimed and recycled materials, from the back bar made from donated church pews and framer’s trim to the light fixtures built from reclaimed materials, and the mix-matched vintage restaurant china and soda glasses. We hope you enjoy seeing so many old things made new again.
