Part of Goddess and the Baker

Founded in 2015, Goddess and the Baker was created from a passion for great coffee, great baked goods, and great, and great food served in a welcoming space. What began as a spin-off idea has grown into a vibrant café brand of its own, with each location designed as a gathering place where guests can enjoy everything from a morning latte to a hearty meal or a creative pastry.

The first Goddess and the Baker opened in the spring of 2015 in the hip Wabash Corridor near Millennium Park and was quickly a hit and has been growing ever since with several locations throughout Chicago and in Brookfield, WI.
