Goddess and the Baker, Wacker & LaSalle
225 N LaSalle St, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“This bustling Loop spot is a bright, energetic gathering place where meticulously crafted pastries and creative drinks like their standout matcha take center stage—whether you're grabbing a crispy bagel on the go or settling in for a leisurely breakfast with friends. The space hums with life and welcomes everyone from solo coffee seekers to families, though fair warning: the lively atmosphere comes with notably enthusiastic music levels.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
