Radical Joy Bakery (Rad Joy) is a cottage bakery operated by V Nguyễn in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood. We specialize in celebration cakes (for any occasion!) and small-batch pastries made with local flours and produce. Here, you’ll find a space for creative, edible art that evokes joy, rebellion, and pleasure.

From New Orleans to Brooklyn, Oakland to Houston, pastry lovers and haters alike have delighted in unique offerings like our cà phê carrot cake, dark chocolate mochi brownies, and pandan strawberry shortcake. It’s nice to have you here!
