Goddess and the Baker, 33 S Wabash-Millennium Park

A wonderful Tourist trap. Not a great as people say it is. The location is too small and they waiters clearing the tables literally act as though you’re not welcome to sit and eat. The muffins were great. The cashier was not. I think she was honestly overworked or pushed to her limit by the manager/boss. In general it’s an overpriced location. Been to better places for breakfast for less. Please dont reply for me to contact you to making it right. Lower your prices to match your standard.

Came here with my wife, two children, and in-laws, and with only a short wait, we found enough seating during a busy time. The person at the till was very helpful with offering suggestions for my kids. The food was good. Atmosphere was busy but not chaotic. Loved catching the train through the window every once in a while. Wait time for the food was a little longer than expected but worth it. I wish I lived closer so I could try the other menu items next time.

🚨KEEP UR BAGS/PERSONAL ITEMS ON YOU AT ALL TIMES🚨 service was nice and no complaints about their food but my purse did get stolen at this location. It does get pretty busy especially weekend mornings possibly bc it is close to Millennium Park which is a hot spot for tourists which my friend and I are not however just a warning for people visiting this location. My bag was draped on the chair I was seated on, totally understand that I should have been paying closer attention I just don’t want this to happen to anyone else. Filed a police report but highly unlikely I’ll get my belongings back. Would come back for the food though but probably will be doing takeout for the time being:)

The Turkish Delight latte was inedible. It had chunks of tea or roses in it which kept hitting the back of my throat and choking me. I paid for extra syrup and it tasted like a plain latte with a watered down rose flavor. The Banana Latte was good. The croissant sandwich was good with a little spice in the sauce. My husband liked the everything bagel sandwich. But I ended up throwing the Turkish Delight out. We ordered for pickup and it was ready when we arrived which was nice.

Absolutely loved this place! The pastries were nothing short of perfect—fresh, flaky, and full of flavor. The real highlight, though, was the cinnamon date drink the cashier recommended. It was out of this world—warm, rich, and unlike anything I’ve ever had. Huge thanks to the staff for the great suggestion and friendly service. Can’t wait to come back!

Great little brunch spot for a quick bite to eat before exploring the city, as you walk in the have reserve signs for those clients would like to eat inside, so if you plan to dine in they will assign you a table or you can take you bread or breakfast to go! The atmosphere was fresh with a lot of natural light very clean and despite being busy, staff was attentive and kind! Def try it out

We had a great experience for breakfast here. We’d seen how crowded it was at lunch so opted to do an order ahead for takeout. They are very organized with getting takeout orders out the door, and just really nice about it too (honestly unexpected just how nice given how busy they were!) The Bagel Mashup was the best iteration of a smoked salmon bagel I’ve ever had. I wish we lived here so I could be a regular!

We decided to try out this cafe for brunch, there was a long line that moved fast however we did wait about 20-30 minutes for our complete order. The seating was very limited but the staff was doing everything they could to assist. The matcha latte was heavenly here! We also tried the Nutella latte and that was very rich, not too sweet. I ordered the bacon avocado omelette and that was so delicious with the fluffy egg and chihuahua cheese. (I love that they specify that it’s chihuahua cheese) We also tried the sunrise burrito that was amazingly good! I would love to come back again!

Love their strawberry matcha and I get it frequently. Place is small so if it is busy, you won't find a place to sit. Otherwise, cute location, good drinks, and good pastries. HOWEVER, not all locations are the same. This one is my favorite. The same drink at other locations has been terrible. I only recommend this location.

G&TB lives up to the hype! Timing is everything, particularly if you care to dine-in. But don't let the line out the door or around the counter deceive you, a lot of folks are going to grab and go. Staking out a spot to sit can be a little challenging, but your order is often brought right to your seat, which is a nice touch. Loved the Candied Orange Mocha, the Mayan Mocha, and the Gringo Horchata. The Dubai Croissant was decadent but messy. Everything is on the pricey side, but the service is really great and the employees appear to enjoy their work!

First thing I notice was how Very clean omit was . Nice environment not too loud. Customer service was good. Not too crowded today which was good being it's the Holidays and the weekend (Saturday 3:45 pm). People still inside even though closing time is at 4 p.m. So my brother just ordered it to go for us. I know how it is when it's closing time and one wants to home. He's in love with the Mayan Latte (kinda reminds me of mine bc I always add cayenne to my homemade cafecito. I ordered a Honey Wildflower Latte with Oatmilk and had them add Cayenne pepper to it. I was sad they didn't have the Glitter Latte but I didn't realized it was seasonal so I'll just have to wait until next season. To be continued as we are still waiting on our lattes.

I came here a few years ago and remember liking it. It was a close walk from our hotel and is a great location and close to a lot of things. We ordered the breakfast burrito which came out slightly toasted and had a great and fresh flavor to it along with the verde salsa. The coffees we ordered very tasty. The cinnamon mocha had a perfect froth on top and a perfect mocha/cinnamon/coffee flavor. The apple butter oat latte was great too. The ambiance is lively and I enjoy all their decor. The baked goods look wonderful too. The cashier was friendly, but we would've liked our coffee before we finished our food. I would recommend checking this spot out!

It was probably 5 or 6 years ago that I first wandered in here and ordered their maple sage latte. Just had another one this week, and it is still the single best coffee beverage I have ever had. I'm only in here a few times a year, but the baristas are always friendly and very good at their job. The space is always clean and bright. The baked goods are always fine. And the atmosphere is always total, abject chaos. That's the trade off. After 5 minutes in here, I feel like I need to burrow under a weighted blanket in total silence. But if you can handle the high stimulus environment, they make a very, very nice cup of coffee. Five stars because the maple sage latte is that good.

My go to spot for glitter lattes!!! I haven't tried their other items but I've been here twice and their lattes are good and just pretty. They have plenty of seating, lots of items to choose from, they even sell pastries and other party things. I don't have much else to say but if your looking for an insta worthy drink the glitter latte is so good.

Delicious lattes, clean interior, service can be a little slow but only because everything is made fresh. Their biscuit is ridiculously good.

Honestly nothing crazy special about this breakfast/lunch spot. It is order at the counter and seat yourself style. Very busy and tables are a bit close together.

You know those rectangular chocolate croissants than have a golf pencil worth of chocolate? Maybe two if you're lucky? Yeah... that drives me up the wall. I want some chocolate, dagnabbit! Then, I ordered a chocolate croissant here. It was crescent shaped, so I was especially curious. Then, I got it in-hand... and my goodness was this thing heavy. How much chocolate did they put in here?! Yeah, turns out it was completely stuffed with Nutella! I appreciate a little Nutella on occasion, but this was over the top. It would also have been nice to know, as nowhere was this posted or mentioned. I also had a chance to try a plain croissant (toasted/warmed). Regretfully, I was not impressed. It had a little bit of flakiness in the top layer, and was an above supermarket and Dunkin. It did taste like it was made same-day, and the dough had bounce-back, instead of turning into silly-putty! However, I've had croissants with uncountable flaky layers, incredible airiness, a subtle butter flavor, and a hint of sweetness. This wasn't it; the croissant felt more like a good bread! Before trying a croissant on its own, I had it as part of the morning sandwich. Perhaps it was my mistake doing this instead of going for the default semolina. Bacon, egg, cheese, avocado, and sauce are a trusty and time-tested combination, and hard to go wrong with. Yet, perhaps due to smaller amounts, they don't shine. They were more just there instead of a symphony of salt, fat, acid (tomatillo), and umami. Coffee is the one thing that somewhat impressed. Their drip coffee is high quality, and is the kind I'd happily enjoy black (a rarity). For the Pumpkin Apple Butter Latte, while the coffee notes were muted (which is the nature of drinks like this) the apple and pumpkin flavors were great! Something I wouldn't mind ordering again. But, then there is the matter of prices. Yes, Chicago and downtown especially is going to be expensive, but this is still on the higher end. If they had amazing food, I may be a little more forgiving. While I give them points for the coffee, it wasn't enough to lift them out of the hole. Then there is the question of service. It's very friendly, but not all that speedy. When Starbucks has 20 mobile orders waiting for someone to pick up, I am more understanding. With Goddess and the Baker, there're a few people in line - no orders piling up as far as I can tell. Given this, when I need to wait 10-ish for a heated croissant and latte, a little more efficiency would be appreciated. Though I came with time to spare, checking my watch worried I'd be late to work is not a fun time. Thus, we have a place where the coffee is enjoyable, but the food is forgettable. Even if stopping for a coffee, unless going for drip the wait may turn me away. All this is good and true, but the final nail in the coffin is prices that bring the value down a few notches.

Goddess and the baker is such a cute and friendly establishment to catch breakfast at while downtown. Its location on Wabash st is super picturesque and just makes you feel like you're fully emerged (out of towner perspective). There's absolutely a wait and limited seating for the demand however worth it. I would definitely return and order their iced latte again . Their breakfast and pesto sandwiches were tasty.

I got a breakfast burrito, I don't remember the exact name. It was good but could have benefited from some salt pepper/seasoning. I ordered online and it was ready by the time I walked the short distance there. That was definitely a plus. I requested hot sauce on the app, but received none; that may have helped with the lack of seasoning as well. Overall, the burrito was good, ingredients fresh , but lacked flavor. Also, the baked goods looked amazing, though I didn't try any.

My first visit to Goddess and the Baker. I opted for a Nutella oat milk latte and a ham and cheddar biscuit. The latte was tasty, served hot, with nice art on top. The biscuit was generously sized, with a good portion of Ham and cheese, topped with an over easy fried egg. The apricot Dijon gave it some bite that was just right. It was lunchtime and relatively busy but I was able to order right away and the food came out quickly. It was easy enough to find a solo seat. The decor is cute and the outdoor seating looked lovely as well.

Goddess and the Baker was a great start to the day on multiple mornings during my recent trip to Chicago. This location is surrounded by great attractions such as the iconic bean and the art institute and offers such fresh and unique treats to take with you wherever you end up adventuring. The choices they offer is almost overwhelming, but it doesn't look like you could go wrong no matter what you end up choosing. The pineapple ginger tonic was refreshing and the avocado toast was filling enough to last me through multiple museums.

Coffee shop kind of tucked away on a less busy side of the street. Great drink options and large variety of pastries and sandwiches. Only feedback is the seating can be a bit compact and process to order could use improvement. The drink sign is located literally at the entrance pretty removed from the cashier so not the most intuitive design. Had a negative experience with a pretty condescending cashier accusing me of cutting the line after I had been waiting for 5 mins and had to walk back to double check the name of my drink before ordering. Besides the staff being more friendly, good coffee option in the loop.

Walked past this place and it looked really cute inside so decided to stop in. I'm glad I did because the coffee and breakfast were wonderful! My iced Nutella oat latte was delicious and not too sweet, which is my preference. The pastries looked awesome so I had to try one, ended up with the cinnamon roll cruffin which was as tasty as it sounds. We ordered at the counter and they bring the food/drinks out to you. Overall a cute and casual breakfast spot, I would go again next time I'm in the area!

We went on a quest to find great pastries near our hotel. We landed in Goddess and the Baker. It was a little crowded and busy so we figured the pastries would be amazing. We were finally able to place our order after about a 10 minute wait. We decided to get our items to go. Once the order was placed we were instructed to wait outside and listen out for our names, which we did. We received our bag (which was stapled closed) and drinks and trekked back to our hotel. Once we were settled back in our room, I realized one item was missing from my bag. I called the restaurant to address the issue and the person on the other end never apologized, she simply asked me why didn't grab the item at the counter. Wouldn't that instruction come from someone that worked there? I was originally told to wait outside for my items. Per whomever I spoke to, my account will be credited...which is fine but the lack of accountability ruined everything. Aside from the missing item, the pastries were just ok, nothing to write home about. Picture included as a point of reference...all items are enclosed in a glass case so what exactly would I have been grabbing at the counter? Go figure.

There are a number of these restaurants scatter around the city and surrounding areas. The food and drinks were good, I enjoyed my oatmeal with berries and granola. I will say that it is a popular chain and there was a big crowd. We ordered ahead of time so that our food was ready for pickup. There were no seats available when we stopped in, and I would not have wanted to wait around. Overall this is a good spot to stop in quickly as your start your morning and head out into the chilly winter air.

Stopped by for a quick pastry and croissant. Ordered at the counter and our food was brought over to us. Nice and cozy inside to beat the cold windy morning!

Stopped in this morning around 9 am for a quick breakfast - it was relatively busy inside but there were seats here and there Ambiance: Very spacious and beautiful space! Lots of tables, a cute easy to read menu, and very full and aesthetic display case of pastries A lot of people were working and there is also outside seating available - they also had water cups, condiments, and a bin to place ur plates after ur done Service: Cashier was quick, took my order, and gave me a little table number. My items came out within 10 minutes Food: Matcha Latte w/ Oat Milk: 5/10 - it does come sweetened , as you can see by the color it's a very muddy green - poor matcha quality, the flavor itself isn't bad - it's not grassy at all and is a relatively mild vanilla flavor ?? - the oat milk was creamy - I can't say this is a matcha latte but as a drink, it wasn't bad Greek Naanwich - w/ a side of fruit: 8/10 - you can also get chips instead of fruit - for $13.99 this thing is HUGE but it's mostly lettuce in there - the chicken portion is alright but a little more would make it perfect - I loved the pita on this - crispy and fluffy, held together well - the dressing was light and tangy - honestly just needed a better meat to veggie ratio but this was a pretty light and filling breakfast - the fruit cup wasn't noteworthy Would come back to try some more popular offerings!

I ordered the chipotle ranch wrap with grilled chicken and a side of smoked bbq chips. It definitely hit the spot. The wrap was healthy and filling.

Such a cute spot in the mall area! My friend and I were across the street at Cafe Hollander and decided we must stop in after lunch. Again, super cute bright coffee shop with adorable decor and good jams playing (I had to dance a little!). Quite the variety on the menu for food, coffee, pastries, other drinks, and snacks. The merchandise is so cute. One of the cups reminded me of Gilmore Girls- I had to have it! I got the shaken iced espresso for the ride. It was good and I appreciated how it wasn't sweet. My friend got a tea/lemonade that looked so cool. I tried it and it was so flavorful. He also got a cruffjn and I'm sad to report it looked better than it tasted. I'm from out of town, but if I'm in the area, I'd definitely stop in for a coffee or tea.

Super cute spot for breakfast. You can raven watch the train goes by. The food is good. They have unlimited coffee and refill. I got my big cup for less than $. This spot has a New York kind of vibe. It is also close the Bean and the Chicago museum of art.

I was not very impressed with my experience at this coffee shop/ bakery. The manager was present on the day i visited & i really don't think the "high standards" that they try to keep are helping out the business. The staff out on the floor was quite rude. This was not the case with the employee at the register. I decided to order a chocolate croissant which was really dry and tasted stale. I'm not sure if you have to ask for pasteries to be toasted here but i was really disappointed. I've had better croissants from my hometown in Ohio. Final consensus; skip out on this coffee shop & try another !

I was roaming around Millennium park, when I decided to go for a tea. Strawberry matcha latte was the best thing I had from here. There was real strawberry flavor in the tea. Passionfruit lemonade had strong flavors plus looked good on pictures. Strawberry matcha cruffin was the best food Item I had from here. It was rich and flavorful. I also went for the rainbow cake, only because others recommended it. It was good as well, but didn't feel worth the hype. Cruffin tasted better for me.

Always a cute place to be productive and people watch. The food is healthy and delicious, the coffee and pastries are also worth trying. Definitely get there early if you want to snag a table because they're first come first serve. Go check it out for your next productive brunch!

My friends and I came here because we wanted breakfast and noticed it was a popular Chicago chain. Food: Unfortunately, I was not able to try their drinks, so I ordered the pumpkin espresso bar (limited edition, I believe) and the Shakshun Danish. - Pumpkin espresso bar: (4/5) it was essentially a pumpkin/espresso-flavored brownie. I thoroughly enjoyed the texture (a little crispy on the outside, warm/chewy on the inside), though I couldn't give it a 5/5. I found this to be quite sweet, so it was hard for me to finish in one sitting. Granted, I don't have the biggest sweet tooth either. - Shakshuka Danish: (2/5) This had some type of tomato/salsa filling and runny egg yolk -- so I enjoyed it initially when it was warm! However, as a slow eater, I didn't finish my order in one sitting, and I noticed the egg yolk went from a runny consistency to a hard-boiled consistency; some people may not mind this, but I personally was not a fan of it, so this is not something I would order again in the future. The Danish is definitely something I'd recommend eating immediately rather than waiting to eat it. Ambiance: right off the bat, there was already a huge crowd, and the line stretched outside! After taking my order, I had to wait outside because there was barely any space inside; the workers would deliver our order outside. I think I'll have to order more items to see the hype of Goddess and The Baker, but overall, this establishment was just OK. I don't think it's a cafe I would be willing to wait in line for.

I've visited Goddess and Baker a couple of times, and it's become a solid spot for me. My go-to order is the avocado toast and croissant with jam and butter. The croissant is always fresh, but it can feel a little heavy. For coffee, I've tried both the hot coffee and cappuccino, and the cappuccino is definitely good!

Great location and soothing indoor/outdoor ambience. Tons of seating even upstairs by bathrooms. After placing an order you find your comfortable seating choice and they bring you your order. Bread comes with some of the meals which should not be passed up even by those that don't like bread. Would recommend.

My friend and I were visiting from out-of-town and she had a great experience here so we came back the next morning for breakfast. The place was chaotic - we stood behind some folks in a line for a while until I realized they were just waiting for their orders. By that time the actual line had grown. We each placed our orders and waited. We realized there was no way we were getting a table, so made our orders "to go". At one point I heard my name called out but could not spot where to pick up the order - I asked the person handing out the coffees but she was too busy. A guy who looked like a manager walked by and asked what was wrong. I told him I wasn't sure where to get my order, but he kept walking. Finally, my friend's name was called from the side counter labeled as Takeout Orders and a guy gave her her order, so I asked him if mine was ready. He asked my name and seemed confused and handed me a bag. We got back to our hotel and it was the WRONG order. I had to go all the way back and the woman behind that counter immediately knew and said "sorry, sorry" and handed me the right order. The manager looking guy was there too observing it all. The food was fine but I was so flustered by the whole experience that it overshadowed everything.

Goddess and the Baker Bakery (Location: Millennium Park- 33 Wabash) is a delightful upbeat bustling place to have light breakfast, quality snack, lunch or goodie. The vibe in here is fun and casual. Service is excellent. Try their signature "Cruffin" or any of their huge variety of breakfast treats! They are all top drawer baked fresh and wholesome. The warmed blueberry muffin I had was full of premium large soft berries. The batter was deliciously moist and dense. Decorated cookies, brownies, cakes, cake slices and croissants. They have a variety of it all for everyone. The coffee was brewed fresh, hot and had no bitter aftertaste. Don't settle for the mundane breakfast, cup of coffee or old treat at the other places. This place doesn't disappoint as baked goods ARE fit for a Goddess as the name implies!

Love the vibe and how cute this cafe was. Stopped by for a quick breakfast. Was a bit hard to find open seats and we had to squish into a tight table. The food came pretty quickly and service was friendly. Drinks: Iced Americano and Banana fosters latte. Iced Americano was standard. Not too acidic which was good. The latte was a bit overwhelming with the amount of caramel which really drowned out the banana fosters flavor. Food: Acai bowl and biscuit sandwich. Acai bowl was a little more watery than I prefer. Though I did enjoy the toppings especially the granola. Biscuit sandwich had ham, egg, and cheese. Was tasty but had to be eaten with a knife and fork otherwise would be quite messy and fall apart.

Rainbow vanilla cake. The cake had a pretty good vanilla flavor, was a perfectly fresh delicate crumb. The frosting was a very light whipped cream/butter frosting. Very sweet and good to share. My husband and I didn't finish it. Super bright and fun for pictures. We didn't try any other food because there were fruit flies all over the other pastries. The rainbow cake was individually wrapped so it seemed safer.

Goddess is always good and always reliable for lunch or a midday pick-me-up. Don't come for coffee in the morning, the rush doesn't die down until at least 10/11AM. I think somewhere around 1PM is the perfect time for lunch there. There's a number of spots available by that time.

Great location and friendly staff. We ordered the almond croissant, a Cortada, Nutella latte, and the sunrise burrito. Everything was amazing. Place was clean too and ambience was nice.

Food is pretty good, with good food portions. The prices are a little high . Friendly , fast service. Resturaunt is clean with nice decorations.

I ordered the Apple Butter Latte hot (comes with oat but subbed with whole milk). The coffee quality was pretty good and smooth. The initial flavor is cinnamon but there is a hint of apple as the aftertaste. I wish the apple flavor was a bit stronger but otherwise a good latte. It was super busy when I went in and the ordering system seemed a bit disorganized / people standing around so it was difficult to see where the line was. Orders come out pretty fast.

So good I went twice during my trip! Loved this cute cafe and all the pastry and drink options. I tried the horchata latte and the prickly pear chai and the honey matcha. Also had a delicious tea. All the drinks were expertly crafted and tasty! The chai was so unique but not overwhelming. The staff were nice and they were great about asking if I needed anything else and clearing table quickly. To eat I had the delicious hash brown breakfast sandwich on a croissant. I loved the caramelized onions with thick slices of bacon. I also ordered a fluffy waffle which was light and buttery. The huevos rancheros tostadas were hands down phenomenal! I would order that again and again. The avocado toast was delicious and fresh. Lastly the blueberry muffin and spinach Parmesan croissant were light and buttery super savory and delectable. I'll definitely be visiting again!

Came here on a Thursday to grab some morning coffee and a pastry. They were super busy! I ordered the nutella oat latte iced and a strawberry matcha pastry (which was delicious). Our pastry's came out pretty quickly, however I waited about 15 minutes and no latte came. I assumed they were busy, but went to check on it and it was accidently served to the wrong person. The staff quickly made me another fresh latte and offered a free pastry to go for the mix up.

I stopped here after a long flight and didn't even look up any reviews, but I was very impressed with my food and coffee. The chicken club was exactly what I wanted. It was fresh and the bread was soft, but not soggy. My latte was pretty good, too. The ambiance of this place was super cute and fun! Really nice lunch spot.

We came about 20 minutes before I closing. When we placed our order the worker asked if it was okay if we had this "to go." There was one worker making the drinks and the other three were already doing dishes and packing up the bakery case. I will say the place looked very cute and had a neat vibe. I got a Nutella oat latte and my daughter got a matcha latte. Both were excellent. I just felt like we were rushed out and the service was lacking. One thing to note: they do not take cash.

If you live in Chicago downtown area, I'm pretty sure you've been to at least one of the outlets of this bakery. They are located at multiple spots within the Chicago downtown area. I usually go to this cafe to pick up my coffee on my way into work and I have always liked my coffee picks. I recently tried BLACK RASPBERRY CARDAMOM MOCHA with almond milk as it is one of their seasonal special drinks and absolutely loved it! The raspberry and cardamom mocha was a great combination! I am also a huge fan of their honey wildflower latte. I would recommend to skip savory options as I was pretty disappointed when I tried it last time. They were a bit basic and did not really justify the price.

It was busy this morning (mid Saturday morning) but the line moved quickly. My friend got the Açaí bowl, seemed to enjoy it. My Morning Sandwich, I changed to sourdough bread. It was yummy and filling - good amount of everything on it. The strawberry matcha was also quite yummy, tasted mostly the milk and strawberry, over matcha flavor. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Chicago.

This place was extremely busy on a Saturday morning so be prepared to wait in line and wait for a seat. I got the breakfast sandwich on a croissant and I enjoyed it! The bakery items looked great but just wasn't in the mood for something sweet. It's open seating, first come first serve so keep that in mind for your visit.

Smallest G&TB I've been to. Cramped in fact. Still has everything you want but I would go to the others next time. Two things, the register is too far from The bakery window. With all the options I had to go back to re think. The red velvet cookie was a nice change from my norm. Loved the frosting, the cookie was a little hard :( it tasted delish but I'd give it a 3 out of 5 because that cookie was over baked or a day old in disguise :( The gluten free brownie was nice. Will not get again. lacked pizazz. Onto the day old macrons for 50% off. Here's my take. Throw them away and save the box and restock with fresh ones. These are never worth you trying to sell to someone. They were so hard they cracked all over the floor. We threw them out :( $7.50 for 4 becuase they r trying to give you a deal. Please do not buy them. Goddess and the Baker. Please do not sell them. I will never get macrons at your bakery because of this and if we had more time I would have brought them back to you for something else. We were in a hurry and couldn't even pick up the mess we made with trying to bite into them. I told a worker this on our way out and he said I'll tell the manger. After the fact, why not say " let's get you something else to replace it so you are happy". Bummer cuz I always try to get here when I'm In the city and now I'm probably not going to go.

Stopped by Goddess and the Baker in Chicago, and it did not disappoint! I had the matcha and an avocado toast, and both were delicious--fresh and exactly what I was hoping for. The cafe was super busy, but the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel so positive. There's plenty of space for a quick bite and a coffee, and the vibe is vibrant and fun. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a quick, tasty stop in the city!

Although the lines can be long, the food is worth the wait and the service is on point. The ambiance is a small NYC vibe feel

Came here on a whim while staying a short distance away at Palmer House, we found this little gem to be a lovely spot for breakfast! The ambiance was energetic, but not so loud we couldn't have a conversation. The service was quick and friendly and the food was fresh, delicious, and unique. With the Palmer House being a regular spot for us, I'm sure we will be back! Pro tip - don't forget to check in on Yelp and get a free 12 oz coffee! (And the macadamia milk cream is just divine!)

Every time I travel, my goal is to find as many bakeries/coffee shops as time permits. This bakery has an impressive first impression with their window display and that's what drew me in. The day I went it was mid morning and it was pretty busy. We waited in line for approximately five minutes. The space inside was very comfortable and inviting. Unfortunately the staff were either too busy or just not their thing because no one was friendly. They took our order and just moved right on. No pleasant talk or even a hello. The baked goods looked amazing and it was hard to make a choice. We always try to order different things so that we can sample a few items. Everything was good but nothing stood out as a must have again. With all the choices available, I would probably try something different instead of coming back. But I will admit, their pastries are beautiful.

For sometime now, The Goddess and the Baker has been on the radar for the teacher and the banker (my wife and me). We finally visited here on Black Friday along with the environmentalist and the engineer (daughter and son). We all loved our visit! We stopped-by around 10:00 a.m. on Friday November 24th 2023. The place was packed, and there was no available seating so we ordered to-go. We enjoyed it on our short stroll to Millennium Park to view the Christmas Tree. We ordered: an Americano, a Peppermint Hot Chocolate, two Peppermint Mochas, a Chocolate Croissant, a Ham & Cheese Croissant, and one Turkey Bacon & Egg Croissant. Everything was wonderful. My wife declared the Chocolate Croissant the best she's ever had. I loved my Peppermint Mocha. Service was great, and prices were reasonable. All-in-all a very enjoyable experience.
