Defloured - Chicago

You always have a wide range of vegan options, including cookies, bars and cupcakes. My personal favorite is the chewing chocolate ginger cookie. I'm not gluten-free, but it doesn't make any difference, everything is really delicious.

I remember ordering my brother 's cake from this wonderful place. I let them have a choice on the wording on the cake depending on spacing 'Dorthy in the streets, Blanche in the sheets ' OR 'Happy Birthday Marty '. Whichever would be easiest. Well apparently on the day I picked up the cake, the bakers had a pool going because they couldn 't make heads or tails of the first choice. One was guessing Dorthy was an OZ ref and Blanche was from a Streetcar Named Desire and one was betting on golden girls, few had other obscure bets. To the one who set coin on the Golden Girls, congrats to you ; . My brother Claim 's to be Dorthy from Golden Girls, while I countered considering his life-style (wink wink that He 's definitely a Blanche. His main retort to this was that I 'd be a Rose, which is fine. I 'd rather be 100 Lovable Roses than 1 floozy of a Blanche. And apparently this has made me a staple of the place for some time. Really need to stop by again and see what goodies await. Never a poor choice to be had among any of the treats made with love, and since they 're gluten free that means I can have like, 8!

The lemon bars, the lemon-blueberry loaf, and the pecan bars are my favorite. And the store front is smack dab in the middle of Andersonville. Defloured is a perfect stop while roaming the neighborhood. <3

I ordered some treats from Defloured to celebrate the one year anniversary of my business. They were delicious, and the staff here is absolutely fantastic! All of our gluten-free friends and clients were delighted when I told them they could eat all of the things, and our wheat-eating folks were equally impressed by the fact that Defloured's treats are almost completely indistinguishable from wheat-based treats. Defloured is pretty much the best, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone.

Died went to heaven walking into this gluten-free haven! There is nothing like this in Chicago proper! As someone with Celiac disease, I cannot thank this bakery enough for what they do! I'm now their biggest fan!
