It was my first time at this bakery and let me say it is truly amazing! So many options! When I was there , there were over 10 GF options , 7 were GF and vegan. I ordered the Twix cupcake and it was literally amazing! I love that they have basically the same flavors as the nonGF ones and they were all the same price ($3.95 for a pretty big cupcake!) The staff was so kind and knowledgable and I even got to talk to the owner alittle about the flours she uses and she was so kind! Definitely recommend!!!

Wide range of GF options. Dedicated GF baking days to limit cross contamination. The Key Lime is my favorite! I have also ordered a cake and mini cupcakes (all GF) for a family party, and everyone raved!

Such good cupcakes, and so many options! I had a gluten free chocolate cookie dough and a gluten free and vegan toffee one. Both were very tasty, my only complaint is that the frosting was a bit overly sweet. I will definitely be going back! And they give a 10% student discount too!

Delicious cupcakes, quite a few different options. Great for ordering for birthday parties and such, when I was younger we would order boxes of them before I discovered I love to bake. Definitely a place to frequent!

the best cupcakes! I live in D.C. Coming from the home of Georgetown Cupcakes. Swirlz beats their GF hands down. I stop by everytime I'm in Chicago.

Every single time I eat a baked good from here that's gluten-free, I get sick. Which is a shame because vegan and gluten-free is what I need.

I've loved all the cupcakes I've tried from here. I can even get the "regular" flavors at my local Whole Foods.

I'm a new celiac- got the vanilla and chocolate cupcake and couldn't tell the difference between this and a "normal" cupcake. I gave it a 4/5 because the cupcake was very light in flavor (Italian buttercream frosting is virtually just whipped cream) and I prefer a stronger taste. The price was also pretty expensive. BUT my gluten-eating best friend ate the gluten free vegan cupcake and loved it, so props to Swirlz for appeasing her tastebuds.

Amazing! Vegan icing is sweeter, GF cupcakes have Italian buttercream icing and it's not as sweet.

Awesome variety and they are SO good! Swirlz is only a short walk from DePaul's Lincoln Park campus. The texture of the cupcakes is perfect and the icing is even better. I had one with preserves in it and I can't wait to have it again!

This is my go-to cupcake spot! And just about about the only place I can get a gluten/dairy free cupcake. Still, everything I've eaten has been great. Favorite is the double chocolate. They have a gf of the day, gf surprise, and gf vegan of the day. More options than you'll get most places.

Really good GF cupcakes. I would eat them more often, but they use a fair amount of potato starch in their blend. If I eat too much of that, it bothers me.

The gluten free cupcakes are fabulous! The cake is moist and the frosting is light as air. Can't go wrong with the chocolate peanut butter.
