Goddess and the Baker, Wacker & LaSalle

Good coffee and breakfast sandwiches. My only complaint would be that the tables weren't all wiped down from the night before as we were the first ones in when they opened & there were still crumbs and sticky spots on the table we sat at.

Ill do my best to write a fair review. The place is very aesthetically pleasing, but VERY loud. I almost had to shout to talk to my friend. Service was fast, but when we got our food delivered after asking it to be heated, it was honestly pretty cold. The croissant I had was fully cold on the inside still and had an extreme amount of chocolate inside (if you like chocolate, you'll like the croissant! I simply wasn't expecting 60% of the inside to be straight chocolate, but this is just a personal preference). Both of the baked goods we got seemed like they were sitting out for a while since they were pretty stiff (the cinnamon bun especially).

For my drink, I ordered a London fog. It was pretty good, though I was very disappointed for my friend who paid $6 for a Chai latte got it basically in a shot glass with a large serving of foam. Taste wise it wasn't bad either, but for the price it wasn't worth it at all.

I think I paid about $14-15 for my drink and food and my friend was about the same. The cafe has its charm, but well be going somewhere else next time.

Honestly not the worst of experiences but pretty disappointing. $6 for a chai and it came out in a joke of a glass, which was already 25% foam. A slightly bigger glass for $6 would be nice because I basically paid for not even 10 ounces. We asked for our food to be warmed up and it was more like room temperature and was honestly cold. The ambience is nice but the workers all look peeved tbh, I get everyone has stressful days but if the whole team is peeved something is wrong.

Food is okay, nothing I would recommend. We tried the shaksuka and it was very oily and had no taste. The drinks were alright. However the service is slow, some of our friends waited for 30 minutes and others for 45 minutes. One didn't arrive at all, which we had to cancel. Wouldn't go again.

Avocado toast with egg and salmon.

Way too much arugula.

Expensive and tasty. Well put together. Had five dollars in rewards otherwise it would've been $21.

This was my first visit to the bakery, and I have to say — it’s a lovely spot. The space is beautifully designed, and the pastry display is stunning.

However, while the croissants looked amazing, I was disappointed to find that they weren’t freshly baked. At $8 per croissant, I was expecting that fresh, flaky texture you get right out of the oven. Instead, they tasted more like something a day old. They were fine — but for that price, I’d expect much better. Honestly, I could have gone to Safeway for the same level of freshness.

Horrible situation with just being questioned about my Psychiatric Service Dog. Rude employee making me never want to go back there.

We were really excited to try this place but it was really upsetting to see how rude their coworkers. We were in line where a worker, Noah was passing menus and when we asked him for a menu, he rolled his eyes and instead of handing it to is he just threw it down. When we bought this up to their manager, she didn’t really do much about it. This was really upsetting experience for us, we left right after but will be escalating it to the corporate.

Excellent assortment of pastries, desserts, and other breakfast goodies. I had spinach, croissant, and all the tasty, not one of my favorite things. Did have the miso infused cobra, which is absolutely out of this world. This was worth the walk. Be advised, this is a very popular spot…you order inside and then wait outside for it to be delivered by one of the employees. Listen for your name!

The service has become terrible: they don't greet people at counter, they don't smile and if you ask for menu clarification - it's like they doing you a favor by answering. I ordered a hot mango matcha - The service has gotten terrible. They don’t greet people at the counter, they don’t smile, and if you ask for clarification about the menu, it feels like they’re doing you a favor by answering. I ordered a hot mango matcha, and it was served in the smallest cup. For comparison, my friend ordered a hot matcha without syrups and got it in a normal-sized cup. When I asked why my $7.99 drink was so small, they told me it was the manager’s idea and then just POURED it into a bigger cup. That’s unbelievable behavior—it came across as very unprofessional and rude.
