Molly's Cupcakes

Super GemLincoln Park · Bakery/Cupcakes Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2536 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60614

Founder John Nicolaides named Molly's Cupcakes after his third-grade teacher, Miss Molly, who used to bake cupcakes for her students' birthdays — the shop was profitable within its first four months and went on to win the first-ever season of Cupcake Wars in 2009 with a peach cobbler flavor.

The red velvet cupcake is the classic order, and the fully customizable frosting means no two visits have to look the same.

The Naperville location has since closed, but Chicago itself has grown beyond just this original Lincoln Park shop to River East, South Loop, and West Loop locations -- this Clark Street original is still the one regulars point to first, complete with porch swings at the counter.
