With a name like Goddess and The Baker, you can expect incredible food and so we decided to try this place for breakfast and then went back later on for a treat in the afternoon. The place is not that big and seems to be quite popular to the point that it can be challenging to get a table, especially if the tables outside are not an option because of the rain (and it rained a lot as we were visiting the Windy City).

Breakfast was quite good, Jodi having a tea and me, a double espresso, accompanied by a delicious coffee cake that had a nice crumbled top with a nice amount of cinnamon. The almond croissant though was just ok, the almond paste not being as good as what I am used too, more like a paste than frangipane. We went back for a treat and tried their chocolate chip cookie that was slightly warm and had lots of chocolate, as well as the brownie that was just ok for me.
