The Chunky Scone

A vegan pastry cafe known for its tres leches cakes

From an interview with The Chunky Scone’s founder and owner, Oscar Narvaez: “The Chunky Scone started as a passion for food and baking. My first appearance was at a holiday market at St. Paul Church in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, in 2015, where the only thing I had for sale was scones and all of them sold out! Since then, I have been doing festivals & pop-up events throughout Chicagoland, Indiana, and Wisconsin. What has gotten me to where I am today is my passion for food which I am fortunate enough to be able to share with others.”

“My company focuses on delightfully vegan food and baked goods. We make cakes, churros, pizza rolls, scones, biscuits, croissants, conchas, donuts, naturally leavened bread, cookies, and many other vegan foods that I love to experiment with and create. One of the things The Chunky Scone is most known for and do best is the vegan tres leches cake, vegan churros, and vegan scones. What sets The Chunky Scone apart from the competition is the variety of foods I can make as well as the focus on high-quality ingredients as opposed to quantity.”
