"Vaca’s Creamery, Chicago’s first all-vegan ice cream shop, debuted in 2021 with a walk-up location in West Town featuring oat milk-based soft serve that’s won over locals of all dietary stripes. Co-owners Mariana Marinho and Dylan Sutcliff have since launched a second outpost in Lincoln Square with their signature vanilla, chocolate, swirl, seasonal flavors, and new varieties also available by the pint. The original location, which was temporarily closed earlier this year, is back open." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
