Loaves & Witches - Chicago, Illinois

I just LOVE this place. I am a devout Christian and have been warned about witchy spaces… but that has never stopped me from engaging!! I think back fondly to being a teenager sleeping with my Tarot cards under my pillow (as suggested) and casting circles and burning very characteristics pagan incense which is always so herbal and floral.

This space and community is unique! A lot of alternative spirituality mother goddess types, lots of gender flexibility, and tons of warmth and friendliness. You will find a tarot reader by the door and different kinds of tarot decks on different tables. One time I went and there was a knitting group and another time I went and they were doing a succulent planting and pot painting gathering. It’s the kind of place where you know you can meet friends and everybody may know your name.

Their logo and name are so charming. Obviously a playful pun of my Lord‘s miracle. I have not tried the food yet although there are lots of natural ingredients with fun names. Their coffee is delicious; I have had a latte and a Cortado.

They have a community billboard for people to post missed connections and reach out to community. And they have a board labeled “the coven“ which is their staff. This is such a fun and welcoming place to hang out. I hid my Christian book so no one was would think I was infiltrating, lol!

This place is a hidden gem! They have an amazing selection of coffee and pastries, and the staff is super friendly! There’s plenty of seating, and it’s a popular spot for locals and students alike. My Americano was delicious, and my husband loved his Chia Tea Latte. We’ll definitely be back to try their cheesecake - it looks to die for! 😊

Great atmosphere and friendly staff, this coffee shop and bakery with a witchy atmosphere was very solid.

Coffee is from hexe and all of the pastries are made in house. They were very good, though I wish they had another savory option or two beyond just bagels with cream cheese.

Drinks were good, standard stuff with a few rotating seasonal options.

Shop has some merch and art on consignment sale. They also host some community events and I loved the missed connections board they had up.

Very worth your time to visit our make it your regular if you live near by.

Great place to land as a stranger. I felt at home the entire week I visited Chicago. This was my morning stop before getting the last day started. There was as much or as little social interaction as I wanted. The staff was super friendly, and the patrons were a delight as well. They make a solid cappuccino, would highly recommend. Good place to write a busy book! Atmosphere worthy of the name.

Staff is very kind and helpful. It is a fun atmosphere with plants, bakery items and great drinks. Love the wallpaper. Since we are still COVID conscious, it was great to see staff members wearing masks and outdoor seating available. Other shops in the area have limited outdoor seating. Will definitely come again.
