A nice lil spot with a good vibe, servers also had a great vibe and were so genuine and sweet! Also they have card/board games in the lobby, very fun!

Strawberry cough and Lucy in the sky
Tierra M.

Drinks were delicious and staff was very friendly! I got the Strawberry Cough infused with 25mg of thc. Second time coming to this location and will definitely be back the next time I'm in Chicago

Electric Lemonade

So I finally had a chance to stop by Wake n Bakery and I was so impressed. I loved the graffiti styled art on the walls, as well as the lounge area for if you plan on hanging out. The staff is super helpful and friendly with all questions pertaining to ordering and adding the right dosage to your drink. They have a great selection of drink options and flavors, and they also sell freshly baked edibles, gummies, and pre rolls as well. Also for those of you who can't handle THC they also have CBD as well.

Fruity Pebble Treat
Katie E.

Really cute and unique concept! Definitely some flaws though... For starters, don't be scared by the amount of milligrams they put in the drinks- I have gotten the 60mg drink three times now, and there is absolutely no way it's 60mg. Since this isn't technically federally legal (delta 8 is legal but a grey area), there's no regulation to see what you're actually getting in each drink. I go in to Wake N Bakery knowing this- so I'm cool with that. But any tourists or people trying delta or cannabis for the first time here might feel a bit ripped off . Until cannabis is federally legal and regulated, you're going to run into a ton of shops that claim they have the strongest products, certain mg levels, etc, but in reality none of this is actually tested and regulated. I'm aware $20+ for a chai tea is insane, but I at least know what I'm getting, and I accept it. I actually like Wake N Bakery for a quick grab and go drink. I'm not couch-ridden from a 60mg chai tea like I would be from a 60mg edible from a dispensary. But the prices make you think otherwise. We've also tried the edibles before too, I got the fruity pebble rice crispy and the monster cookie. The monster cookie, really didn't taste like anything, we didn't finish it. The fruity pebble rice crispy treat was outstanding! But again, don't go in believing the milligrams and amounts are exact, you're going to be disappointed. not going to get the same effect. One recommendation is mixing the delta8 in the drinks instead of just pouring it on top. The first sip is supppper bitter, and you realize it's none of your drink. I realize it sounds like I don't like this place... but honestly I really love it and can't stop walking all the way up from Lincoln Park to go here. I'm just aware that what I'm getting is not going to give me the same effect as a dispensary or even if you smoke delta8 itself/make your own edibles. As long as you're aware too.. I really do recommend stopping in for a drink! If thc/delta8 is not your thing, they offer CBD too. Haven't tried that one yet though, and I'll report back if I do! :)

We stopped by because we had a bogo pre roll deal for checking in on Yelp! Shout out to the staff member who helped us with choosing our flavors. Very kind and very helpful! We've gotten some drinks from here before and we're very happy with our purchase. We'll be back!

The prerolled joints are my favorite and well priced but the disposable vapes are also pretty smooth and effective (def a little more expensive but it'll last for awhile). Every time I've drunken a micro dose drink, I get zooted out of this world but it might just be because of my low tolerance. Just a word of caution I guess. Baristas are always kind and informative about the different drinks and inventory so I appreciate it and the ambiance is always my favorite part. Super colorful and maximalist. This location in particular is smaller than the other ones so it's a great place to grab and go.

I came home to Chicago to visit and had to stop and try Wake-N-Bakery while I was here. It's a nice lil spot off Broadway. They have tons of artwork around the cafe and sell edibles and drinks, as well as pre rolls and apparel. We were able to walk right up to the counter to order. The staff was very knowledgeable and gave us recommendations. I ordered the Strawberry Cough lemonade, my friends got the Snoop's Dream latte, and the Peach tea. You can have the drink normal or add your desired level of thc or cbd. The drinks were good and really strong. I was also able to get a free preroll with my Yelp check in!

Perfect way to close out a vacation! Yummy treats that leave you craving more treats and maybe a nap lol.

A poor picture of the bakery case. The mini Bundt cakes are so cute! This photo also contains pastries price by thc dosage.

THEY DO CARD! I never been to an Infused Bakery before and this place set the bar high (hehe). The variety of infused beverages and pastries looked and tasted amazing! I got the lemon poppy muffin-split in half-a half will get the job done. We also got a iced latte and tea. My boyfriend had a good high on the train ride to Philly from the tea. Can't wait to come back !

Every time I go to wake n bakery, I come out EXCITED! My knowledge of THC and CBD is very limited, but everyone who works at the bakery is so friendly and accommodating. I live in the old town area and I still make the trek to pick up desserts and drinks! This time, I picked up a banana nut muffin and a tea with macadamia nut milk. Both of them were SO good (it's so hard not to have it all at once!). I find the price reasonable but i don't know much about pricing in this field lol. Everyone is soooo friendly and helpful, that's what always makes this experience 5/5 stars I will definitely go again, I'm thinking like once a month

This place is very chill, came here x2 while I was visiting Chicago for my birthday. Trill and Goose were very patient chill. The food is amazing. I got the Chia Tea Latte, Snickerdoodle Cookie, Strawberry Cheesecake, and more.

Carrot cake & red velvet mini Bundt cakes and some other goodies!
Raine B.

Going into Wake-n-Bakery is always a treat!! Firstly, the staff is AMAZING! They always provide such a fun experience and are extremely helpful in explaining the products. Secondly, their BAKED GOODS are so YUMMY. I've tried 3 flavors (choco, red velvet, and carrot), and all have been so soft, flavorful, and absolutely DELICIOUS. It's so hard to stop myself from grabbing another bite sometimes! My drink was great as well! Definitely a lovely option sipping through a weekend stroll! Thirdly, I love this place because it truly lives up to the hype! Their products pack a punch and def gives you the ~vibes~ you need. I always look forward to coming here! There might be a bit of a wait and line during weekends, but they always move fast. They take cards now too!!!

Lemonades
Lindsey L.

The cutest little shop! I love all the art. Awesome and knowledgeable staff. There was so much to choose from. So much in fact that we had to visit twice. Cakes were yummy. Lemonades potent (cause that's how we got them) but sooooo good. My recommendation: get any level two lemonade (don't make me choose) and then go sight seeing!

Let's start with the positives. I love the vibe of the cafe itself, it's one of my favorite spots just for the abundance of natural light and the cute decorations & art strewn across the walls. It's also just a very social atmosphere due to all the meetup events that congregate there, which can be a pro or con depending on who you ask. The employees are all super chill! Generally good vibes and never had a problem with their service. Now the negatives. The drinks and food are so mid. I keep trying different options hoping that I picked the wrong item, because I so desperately want to find that "go-to safe item" at my favorite spot. But all of it is just so, so mid. Sometimes it's too sweet (the most common problem), other times the flavoring is just super underwhelming or grossly artificial. The baked goods are all pretty low quality as well, I honestly think I could make better pastries myself (and I am a person who tends to be hypercritical of my work, so that's saying something).

One thing I didn't love: my cappuccino was served in a Styrofoam cup while we were staying there. If you're drinking in, it really should come on a ceramic cup and saucer. Save the Styrofoam for takeout! The best part was that we stayed for a couple of hours and no one hovered over us, or made us feel like we had to leave. As for the coffee itself, it was just okay. Not bad, but not memorable either. That's a shame too, because the space is so comfy. Still, there are plenty of other coffee spots on the North Side - and this just gives me a reason to explore others in the neighborhood.

But the barrels... they're so tempting!…read more Running right across the middle of the shop, there are barrels full of different kinds of coffee beans. It is so tempting to open them and start smelling, only the signs very nicely ask you not to. Wanting a break from dime-store coffee and tea (Folgers - no hate, it has a place), I decided to get something a little less "meh". Added bonus is that I am able to support a family business, as opposed to the Walton family and their associated shareholders. The staff at The Coffee & Tea Exchange was wonderful! They helped me select three different coffees to take home, speaking to the roasts and what makes them unique. I'd also like to award some bonus points for just the right grind of coffee for my reusable Keurig pods. My amazement does not stop at coffee, either - this also applies to teas. I went home with a few varieties of some of the more flavorful loose-leaf teas I've had! The kicker? The prices were very reasonable! True, it is not as cheap as a large can of Red or Blue coffee from the grocer's, but at the same time, not as expensive as something a corporation (maybe with a two-tailed siren??) has convinced you comes from a magical place called Seattle. Final verdict: My freshman year roommate had 4 open tubes of toothpaste because "variety is the spice of life." I have one tube of toothpaste, but coming up on a dozen different coffees and teas in my cabinet. Once I start running low, The Coffee & Tea Exchange is the first place I'll go to restock.

It's creamy, sweet but not too sweet, and overall a great flavor profile. It seems like a great place to study or work as well. You can often find many people working diligently (and relatively quietly) so the ambiance is great. I don't often write such low of a review but the one star is for the staff. On most occasions I've only encountered the friendliest of people - in fact the first time I visited and had a hard time choosing a drink, the individual at the register was so kind and helped me make a choice based on what I typically enjoy at other coffee shops. However today I had the absolute WORST experience where the barista was so rude to me after they took my order wrong. All I wanted was the coffee I ordered and calmly explained how there must have been a mix up. In return I was basically shamed multiple times for asking for the right coffee instead of the one they tried to give me and I was just baffled by how passive aggressive the staff member was. My family and I will not be returning to this location again. Go for the coffee and the vibes but just be extra careful to triple check your order is taken correctly at the register.
