Really cute and unique concept! Definitely some flaws though...
For starters, don't be scared by the amount of milligrams they put in the drinks- I have gotten the 60mg drink three times now, and there is absolutely no way it's 60mg.
Since this isn't technically federally legal (delta 8 is legal but a grey area), there's no regulation to see what you're actually getting in each drink.
I go in to Wake N Bakery knowing this- so I'm cool with that. But any tourists or people trying delta or cannabis for the first time here might feel a bit ripped off .
Until cannabis is federally legal and regulated, you're going to run into a ton of shops that claim they have the strongest products, certain mg levels, etc, but in reality none of this is actually tested and regulated. I'm aware $20+ for a chai tea is insane, but I at least know what I'm getting, and I accept it.
I actually like Wake N Bakery for a quick grab and go drink. I'm not couch-ridden from a 60mg chai tea like I would be from a 60mg edible from a dispensary. But the prices make you think otherwise.
We've also tried the edibles before too, I got the fruity pebble rice crispy and the monster cookie. The monster cookie, really didn't taste like anything, we didn't finish it. The fruity pebble rice crispy treat was outstanding! But again, don't go in believing the milligrams and amounts are exact, you're going to be disappointed.
not going to get the same effect.
One recommendation is mixing the delta8 in the drinks instead of just pouring it on top. The first sip is supppper bitter, and you realize it's none of your drink.
I realize it sounds like I don't like this place... but honestly I really love it and can't stop walking all the way up from Lincoln Park to go here. I'm just aware that what I'm getting is not going to give me the same effect as a dispensary or even if you smoke delta8 itself/make your own edibles. As long as you're aware too.. I really do recommend stopping in for a drink! If thc/delta8 is not your thing, they offer CBD too. Haven't tried that one yet though, and I'll report back if I do! :)
