Goddess and the Baker, 44 E Grand

Very yummy. I got the bagel and schmear, which was good, but for the price I was a bit miffed that I had to assemble it myself. Especially because part of this order includes a lemon vinaigrette drizzle, and as you can probably imagine, it is not very easy to transfer a liquid on a plate to a bagel. I ended up just kind of having to rub the bagel onto the vinaigrette on the plate to taste it. I will say that the bagel was toasted to absolute perfection, and once assembled was quite good. Everybody there was very friendly. The space itself was bright, colorful, and had a bit of a retro vibe that was very cute and fun. The strawberry matcha was delicious. All in all, I would go here again.

Great selection of fresh pastries, coffees and marchas are excellent. I had the caprese panini and it was great; melted cheese inside, chunky sliced chicken. The French fries are the closest to McDonald’s fries but better ingredients. I love this place for breakfast or lunch. It can get busy so expect a line a peak times or limited seating. Service is very friendly.

Wonderful service, delicious food, cozy and inviting atmosphere. The breakfast sandwich and date cheesecake were amazing! Sabrina helped us and was so helpful and nice! Definitely a must stop while you're in the area!

Came with a couple friends while visiting Chicago for my first time and had a fantastic time! I had the Hashbrown sandwich and the Cinnamon date cacao latte. Both were excellent! Would recommend for the atmosphere, food and photo ops. 🤩🥰

We recently visited this café. When we arrived, we noticed the place was quite busy, and for a moment we hesitated to go in. However, the atmosphere looked inviting, so we decided to stay. As soon as we walked in, a staff member greeted us kindly. They asked us to join the line and handed us a small menu so we could look over the options while waiting. They also explained that once we placed our order, they would find a table for us since the café was full. That’s exactly what happened—after ordering, we checked back with the staff member, and within five minutes they had a table ready for us. It was small, but perfectly fine for enjoying our meal. The food was delicious and the coffee was excellent. Overall, we had a great experience with good service and a welcoming atmosphere. We would definitely return!
