    Omggg the tiramisu iced latte was heavenly. The mascarpone cold foam is thick and rich, literally tastes like dessert on its own. The latte underneath is rich and not too sweet, which balances everything out perfectly once you mix it together. It would've leaned a bit bitter on its own, but with the foam it's spot on. 9.3/10 The space is aesthetic but definitely on the louder side, still a solid chill breakfast spot. They have a huge menu too with baked goods, breakfast, sandwiches, and even drinks like beer and wine, so it's easy to find something for any time of day.

    Third Goddess place we trying in the city. Maybe just because of the time, we didn't need to fight for the seats - a big plus! Wanted some thing. A bit warm so landed on the protein bow which was decent for my taste. Egg, port, avocado are all really good. Was not sure what is the red sauce which didn't offset the bitterness with quinoa. Fruit tart was delicious. My kid swallowed the egg croissant so assuming it was really good. Nice leisure place for a late lunch.

    Came before noon on a Saturday and it was busy, as it's right next to a Hilton hotel. The line moved relatively quick. I ordered for dine in and waited to be seated by a server. If you're a small group, expect to share a table! Since I was solo, I shared a long table with several other parties. What I got: - Impossible Breakfast Sandwich (4/5): This was pretty decent! I added some Cholula hot sauce to give it additional flavor and that really topped it off, yum! I wish they provided a knife if I chose to cut it in half, but the sandwich is manageable regardless. - Iced Oat Milk Latte (3/5): The ratio of milk was more, which lightened the taste. It was ok, but have had better on another occasion. Still enjoyed the muffin treat! I wish it came with a straw for dine in. I was alone and had to ask a stranger to watch my stuff while I went to grab one. Staff came around to promptly clean tables and seat other parties. Overall, a good, reliable quick bite with a large variety!

    Ham and Swiss croissant was freshly baked but could have used more insides. Turkish delight iced coffee wasn't sweet and tasted amazing.

    Gem of a spot. If I lived in Chicago I'd be a regular here. Solidly affordable. Cheap but QUALITY specialty lattes, I've never seen a Chaya (mushroom) one at a cafe before so of course I got it. Not too sweet or earthy, exactly what I was looking for. The food is also delicious. I got the chicken BLT? nothing frivolous or greasy or heavy. The staff is friendly and brings you your order to your table.

    Nice laid back spot to grab coffee, a pastry or a sandwich. We were mainly there for coffee. It was about 70 degrees so I got the iced shaken espresso and my wife got the goddess sweet cream cold brew. My main observation on the drinks is that they weren't overly sweet which was welcomed! Usually, I'm requesting sugar free syrup and/or oat or almond milk vs whole milk to cut down on sugar and carbs and I want to taste the coffee. We both remarked that the drinks were just sweet enough. My espresso was served in a glass that made me think of an alcoholic drink (see photo). We also grabbed a croissant and coffee cake. The lightly sweetened drinks balanced out the sweetness from the pastries which were fresh and tasty. Service was great and the vibes were chill. Of the numerous places you can get coffee downtown, this is a really good one.

    Sooo Goddess and the Baker was a great morning stop before heading out to spectate my sisters' run. The location was super convenient, and the line moved pretty quickly, which I appreciated. I grabbed a seat outside and enjoyed a coffee paired with a breakfast sandwich. Both were pretty good and hit the spot. Overall, no complaints, seems like a solid go-to coffee spot.

    Service and food was amazing and coffee was wonderful! I had the Turkish coffee and my husband had the banana latte, we also had breakfast sandwiches and shared a pistachio croissant. The filling in the croissant was very pudding like which I didn't care for much but everything else was wonderful. Both drinks were coffee-forward and perfectly balanced. Busy, but fast and organized service made it pleasant and manageable.

    Great stop for lunch or an afternoon snack! The space is beautiful and bright, I loved the atmosphere. I got a Yuzu Lemonade and a Caprese Sandwhich and everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly. My only complaint is that it was super expensive especially for a quick bite - we got two sandwhiches, a bottled Soda, and Lemonade, along with with a souvenir water bottle but our total was around $100, and even with the bottle that seems like a lot and was not what we were expecting, so just keep that in mind.

    My friends and I grabbed a quick brunch here before we left Chicago to head home. They have a wide selection on their menu which was perfect since a few wanted breakfast items, someone else wanted a sandwich, and I was looking for a good salad. I ordered the Kale Crunch Salad. It had such a variety of ingredients in this salad. It included grilled chicken, apples, brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, & blue cheese with honey mustard dressing and Parm crackers. I ordered the blue cheese & dressing on the side. It was excellent and hit the spot. Everyone enjoyed their meals. A couple of my friends ordered drinks, which were very tasty. I would definitely go back.

    Had such a lovely date w my boy here. Very crowded! After placing an order, an employee seats you. We were led to the patio which was wonderful granted the weather. Place is gorgeous. They even sell merch - this forest green zip-up hoodie was gorgeous. I had the oatmeal, which had strawberries, blueberries, brown sugar, granola, & oats. Very filling. My non-vegan boy had some type of breakfast sandwich. I inquired how he would "rate" it 1 to 5. He said maybe a 3, bc if he lived nearby he'd come occasionally but not often. I wish they had more vegan options! Still, the seating is very cute & almost romantic. Thanks Goddess and the Baker!

    "Matcha" latte. It's even more grey in person

The space itself is stunning with multiple floors, beautiful design, and so much to explore. Even with how busy it was, everything felt well organized and the staff was friendly and helpful.

The atmosphere was lively and fun, making it a great spot to take a break while exploring the city.

It used to be one of my favorite places, but this visit completely changed my impression. I wanted to try one of their new items Crispy Hash egg. However, the cashier added something we didn't ask for, and also I was charged for extra. When we received the order, we noticed it had an Prosciutto we didn't want, so we asked if it could be removed. The staff handled it poorly--they just took it off the top instead of remaking it properly, and it didn't work for us at all. It felt careless and honestly a bit rude. I also ordered a cappuccino, but it didn't taste right--too much milk and not the balanced flavor I expected. It used to be much better before. Another issue was the waiting time. We were told it would take about 15 minutes, but we ended up waiting around 30 minutes. That was the second big disappointment. Overall, I didn't enjoy this visit. It's sad because this place used to be one of my favorites, but now the quality and service feel like they've gone down.

Since everything in the store is pretty expensive, I don't really purchase much. I have other family members gift a meal or two for me which was eggplant parmesean and I have to say that it was pretty tasty. The portion size i think is generous as well though it did make me really sleepy and nearly almost put me in a coma Nonetheless, it was pretty delicious. They have a wide variety of other goods to choose from as well downstairs. When you take the escalator or elevator to the upper floors, there are dry goods such as breads, tomato sauces, cheeses, bread, and much much more. The wine wall was pretty spectacular as well amd they divided the wines by region. The other part of the store has a stand alone restaurant towards the back which was packed. They also had these stations woth an open concept kitchen so you can see the chefs cooking as well as the bartenders preparing drinks. That was fun to witness as I walked by. It was very hustle bustle and they had one lounge style sit down eatery with waiters and another casual restaurant in the back with waiters. I highly recommend it if you have not gone.

After a short wait, half of our party went elsewhere, and the remaining four of us were quickly seated. The front area is mainly a café, with maybe 10 seats at tables for two. Farther back is a hallway and a larger room with seating in booths and at high-tops for maybe 40, and maybe 6 more at a small bar. The staff is quick and friendly.
