Reviews for Goddess and the Baker, Wabash in Chicago, IL
I will start by stating I didn't realize this was a local chain, but I can say the pastries are not made at this location... although they are still fresh. I will highlight the orders are not taken at the same area as the pastries so you better knowthe exact name of what you want before you get up there. Otherwise you'll make a mistake like me and have to go back to orderthe actually cookie that was desired. Zarianna the cashier was wonderful and despite me having to go up twice helped me bothtimes with a smile. For food I got the: Decorative Latte Cookie, Confetti Cookie, and the Pumpkin Scone. The scone was myamazing, the icing was delicious. The other cookies were not my jam, but if you like the "fake" cake icing you'll love theconfetti cookie. If you like the hard fondant icing then you would like the latte cookie. Both cookies are made well and softand not dry. I got a simple mocha and a latte. The mocha was good, not the best, but still not terrible. The latte was similar.Overall this seems like a better place to grab a lunch than just a coffee, but still a unique experience. Read more
Absolutely loved this cafe! The aesthetics and selection were so fun! And to top it off, the food and drinks were great! I love... that this location is in front of the train tracks as I thoroughly enjoyed watching them run by at the window seat. Thebreakfast was good and it came out so quickly! You get a table tracker with your order and a waiter does bring the food out toyou even if you sit at their tables outdoors. The strawberry matcha latte was very good and so was the glitter latte which wasso sparkly and fun! Solid avocado toast as well and generous with the salmon on their omelette. Would definitely recommend thisfor a cute and high value cafe in the city! Read more
The Leo Omelette with smoked salmon was incredible!!! This place doesn?t have a ton of room inside but don?t let that keep you... from going in if it?s busy. The cashiers take the orders super fast. You might have to wait a bit for a table. The Leo Omeletteon the everything bagel was perfect. The salmon was flavorful but not overpowering and the caramelized onions were the perfectcompliment. The coffee was full-bodied and very tasty. They have a great selection of pastries. This is a place you have to tryfor breakfast or brunch. Days later and I am still thinking about the Leo Omelette.

I had the coconut chai espresso drink of the week and it was delicious! I got it custom made to be decaf and with oat milk. It... was so good I went back the next day and ordered it again. The chocolate chip cookie is soft and chewy. Perfect afternoon treat.The staff was also very nice. Read more
Cute bakery franchise located right on Wabash next to the L line. A great place to get work done during the day, grab a meal... with friends, or come by yourself and treat yourself to some yummy pasteurized or desserts. Outdoor seating is available makingthis place pet friendly (the water and treat bowl outside signals that as well). The bakery is totally cashless as well. OverallI enjoyed my time at Goddess and the Baker. Came on a Tuesday afternoon craving brunch and thankfully brunch is served all day.I got the avocado toast with a scrambled egg on top and it was divine. So tasty and flavorful. I of course had to get somethingsweet and the cashier suggested I try the rainbow cake and boy am I glad I did. So yummy, moist, and flavorful that I ate thewhole slice by myself! Might be my new favorite cafe to work and eat at! Read more
Came in for breakfast, good choice of proteins and more healthy choices available, as well as usual pastry. Food was great, and... coffee also, can get a bit crowded during lunch time. Definitely one of the good choices. If you plan to order take out it isbetter to do it with an app, rewards program available and the social media is being stimulated, there are posters inside formore info. Outside sitting is available. Read more
Lovely little bakery/cafe Right next to an L stop. Friendly service. Amazing bakery counter with cookies, a couple of cake... choices, and a few croissant choices. I had a sunrise burrito that was perfectly fine and a strawberry Nutella steamer. It tookme immediately back to the smell of childhood and strawberry shortcake scratch and sniff stickers. You might love it. For me itwas too sweet and artificial strawberry flavoring isn?t for me. Read more
I?ve been wanting to try different places to eat while in Chicago and honestly, I keep finding myself wanting to come back to... the Goddess. This place is amazing. The food and the drinks are hand crafted, incredibly delicious. I could add 78+ adjectives.Words are simply not enough to describe them. There?s so many great choices. The staff is very friendly and kind. I was talkingto Sandra, an employee at Goddess, about what I should get..She was so sweet and asked me about the things I would like, myfavorite flavors, etc. She gave me a detailed description of the turkey bacon sandwich and an apple oats latte; absolutelydelectable. Thank you so much! I?ll be returning everyday for the rest of my trip. Read more
