Goddess and the Baker, 44 E Grand

My dining experience on a busy Sunday morning was so nice had to come back the following more relaxed morning. The set-up here could be a true “cluster” when crowded, but all aspects of this place are so efficiently seen to that the delicious food and coffee can be savored as hoped. The morning sandwich was so tasty yesterday, and today’s croissant was a delight. And just look at that classic diner-style cup and saucer and the little carafe that keeps the tasty brew nice and hot. First class all the way, this place

This is a beautiful coffee shop and I’m happy we got to stop in but my only issue is, is that I assumed I would get more help with knowing my options for gluten free drinks. I had email them prior and they told me I’d be able to get help once I was there so that was my plan but once I got up there and asked if the coffee I wanted was gluten free she wasn’t sure so she went and asked when she came back to me she said it wasn’t. So then I asked her if she could tell me what my options were and then she had to ask them again which they told me I could only get a drink with milk, honey and espresso. They were super busy and I was very rushed. The drink was good but I was expecting a much better experience especially when I was told I’d have options. They do have gluten free bakery options but I didn’t get any of those and they do share a case with all the other items so keep that in mind. Lovely coffee shop just probably isn’t the best option for someone with a gluten allergy.

Overpriced. Rude staff. Went in to buy a coffee and açaí bowl, was told to wait outside during a heat wave. I ended up having to wait outside in the heat for over 20 minutes, all for a subpar coffee and açaí. Don’t come here.

Hands down one of the BEST breakfast spots we’ve ever been to!!! We got 2 breakfast croissants, a chocolate croissant, dragonfruit lemonade and a nutella iced latte. Everything was perfect, no complaints!

Not equipped to handle a holiday how do they survive a weekend. The counter staff was rude and there wasn’t enough seating, the group that ordered after us got four cooked items before our one. Their to-go system is for people to wait outside on the street and there is no way to hear if they apparently call your name.

Delicious food.

Food was pretty underwhelming. service was good coffee was ok. Not worth the price premium

Wide open cafe setting with a variety of seating. The interior design here feels nice and balanced. Whomst ever put together the layout did a great job.

Incredible from start to finish, the experience was impeccable. High-quality, flavorful food, super quick service, and a great atmosphere. It’s a bit overpriced, but definitely worth it. I’ll be back for sure on my next visit!

Most things that can be made vegan, must be modified off-menu. No soy milk. No tofu. No vegan pancakes. No clearly marked vegan baked goods (if any.) No scrambled tofu or egg substitutes for breakfast sandwiches. Updated from previous review on 2025-03-31

The food and the service were really great. They have a lot of options for food. Excellent place to eat.

Walked in for breakfast. They get very busy especially on weekends. Atmosphere was pleasant, food and drinks are average at best (and kind of expensive, one breakfast sandwich and one drink per person was $20-$25+)...personally would recommend considering other options for breakfast.

Wonderful breakfast place! Always busy regardless of which location you go to — which is how you know it’s good! You order, sit down, and then they find you and bring your food/drinks over when it’s ready! Can be tough to find seating if you wait a few minutes you can usually get 2-3 spots next to each other. I highly recommend the Vietnamese cold brew, it is absolutely delicious.

We were looking forward to a nice breakfast but unfortunately no one enjoyed their meal including the lattes. Service and atmosphere was fine.
