This place is super good! Everything on the menu is vegan (definitely tastes as good as non-vegan ice cream)! I always get the s'mores sundae with a vanilla/chocolate swirl base, and substituted the chocolate sauce for a chocolate shell. Honestly the best soft serve I have ever had and I will crave this time and time again. The service here is also really friendly. The workers were really friendly and patient, and will happily give you suggestions or help with your order in general. Highly recommend if you're ever in the area!

This is my favorite soft serve 🌱 place! Was recently featured on NBC by Steve dolinsky and well deserved as one of the top 5 soft serve places in Chicago. Their flavors are amazing and I like their shakes and croissants too. The Brazilian cheeze bread is delish! Have to try the new location as there's more items available there but I'm happy with the wicker park location!

Best vegan ice cream!! Such diversity of flavor and great ingredients. Not icy the way other vegan ice cream can be - excited to try it again!!

This is by far my favorite dairy free soft served ice-cream place in Illinois. I am so happy to have found this Gem. My kids love it soo much- we drive three hours just to stock up on icecream pints. Favorite flavors so far are the Matcha and the Passion Fruit. The strawberry syrup topping is superb. The waffle cone is mouthwatering delicious too, surprisingly its gluten-free, soy free, vegan. They have two locations make sure to visit both. The GPS will take to a dead end- Just set it to Lincoln Square-Giddings Plaza- Vacas Creamery is located next to Jerry’s Sandwiches. The other location is in Wicker Park. Check out hours before visiting.

I never write reviews for food spots but this is the best ice cream I have ever had!! I've had to be dairy free for 6 years due to food intolerances and eating the handshake was like being a kid again. I will absolutely go back. The whole menu looks delicious. It's the same price if not cheaper than Jeni's and so much better. I can't say enough good things. I wish I had ordered more!!

Probably my favorite ice cream I’ve ever had. So smooth and flavorful. A little pricey but worth it!

Absolutely love this place! The best vegan ice cream around Chicago. The flavor and texture is smooth and creamy, and the toppings complement the ice cream perfectly. It’s amazing how they make almost all their toppings in-house! There isn’t any seating or dine in, but it’s no big deal. The staff are very friendly, and they have changing seasonal flavors to try :) I’ve been a repeat customer and they never disappoint!

Their vanilla and chocolate ice creams are good but haven't had any good fruit flavors here (lemon & guava were pretty bad, actually). I recommend sticking to the basic flavors and just customizing with toppings. I also think it's a bit pricey, though it definitely is as creamy as a dairy soft serve.
