I recently started working back downtown, so I’ve had the chance to try a few spots near my office. I’ve passed Goddess and the Baker so many times and finally decided to stop in. Luckily, I signed up for the app and received $10 off my first order. I tried the tiramisu latte, which was amazing, along with a breakfast croissant sandwich that was really tasty. I also loved the jelly they served with it. The café was pretty busy, so next time I’ll definitely order ahead. The space itself was spacious and cute, with a really nice atmosphere. It’s a little pricey, but worth it as an occasional treat. They also had a great variety of pastries that looked delicious.

Awesome atmosphere. First time here. The staff are lovely and nice and generous with their time. Tried the chocolate croissant and coffee. Yummmmmm. The dark chocolate outside and the creamy chocolate inside was incredible and plentiful…. Plenty of chocolate for those who really love as much chocolate as possible!!

Honestly we liked this place so much we went back there again before we left Chicago. Food and drinks were both delicious. Nothing else to say other than if you need a light lunch or coffee stop in.

I love bringing my girls to Goddess and the Baker when we visit Chicago. It is always a delicious breakfast or afternoon treat. This time we ordered the Tiramisu & Matcha lattes. They were good. The bagel and schmear was very good. Service was good and the food and drinks were ready quickly.
