Loaves & Witches

I'm into witch stuff so I was excited to drop by this place and made the trek north. Unfortunately I felt it was a bit of a let down.The staff was friendly. The coffee good. the pastries outside of the bagels looked great too. The witch element comes into play through cool design choices, a handful of art pieces, and tarot cards throughout the place.Unfortunately everything felt way too expensive for the actual experience. The space itself felt a bit uncomfortable, loud, and smelled like the sewage so I never felt quite at home or enjoying of the space. I love the concept, the community, and the vegan options which I don't find often-it just feels like maybe the space was rushed and they'd do better with some growth love and a different space. I wish them well but I probably won't be coming back.

Super cute cafe in the hood. I stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for an onion bagel with cream cheese. I was able to bring my bagel outside and sit in their outdoor area. It was nice that the knifes they had were not plastic. I wish they had different options for cream cheese spreads. I will be back to try their other items on the menu.

Would've liked this place more if there was not so much plastic. Plastic silverware, plastic water cups, plastic cups of cream cheese, which could easily be eliminated by spreading it on the bagel. That would also eliminate the need for a plastic knife to spread it with. Also had to ask for more cream cheese since serving of cream cheese was so chintzy. Rosemary bagel was tasty, cappuccino was good. Downtown prices. Cashier was friendly .

Great new coffee/bakery shop in Edgewater...Wonderful comfy atmosphere with friendly staff and delicious cold brew and baked goods...What's not to like?

I just ate the best everything bagel from Loaves & Witches! I can't even share a pic because I inhaled it immediately. So thrilled to have such an amazing business in the neighborhood! You can just feel the sense of community and good vibes coming from this place. It's almost like someone has cast a spell.

A really lovely addition to the neighborhood! Great overall vibes + very queer friendly. The coffee is stellar - a very classic menu focusing on quality! The food is incredible - most everything is vegan AND there's gluten free options that are GOOD. Like "I can't tell this is GF" level GOOD. This alone is really hard to find in coffee shops (or ever..), let alone the combination of v/gf. You can tell they are committed to creating standout items, both sweet and savory. Also very aware of allergens and trying to be as inclusive as possible about that, which is rad.

This place is AMAZING! there are so many TASTY gluten free/Vegan options. It is spacious with the best staff! They are so kind and make you feel so welcome. This is my new favorite local coffee shop/hang out spot. I also have to compliment the staff, they know my name and create an amazing vibe.

Loaves and Witches is a wonderful coffee shop! We went there for the first time on Tuesday and have been back three times since (it's Thursday). The ambiance is lovely and calm: there is a lot of seating room, the music in the background is perfect, not too loud, everything feel spacious and welcoming (their wallpaper is amazing, by the way).The staff is helpful, very friendly and kind to everyone. And every single thing we have tried so far (drip coffee (refills are $1!), latte, cappuccino, lavender scone, cinnamon roll and bagel (yes, I know, we have eaten a lot) was amazing. Their vegan options are phenomenal and they also have plenty of gluten free options. Two small suggestions as they continue growing: more savory options in the pastries menu would be great, and yes to further reducing plastic use (although they serve coffee in ceramic mugs and their cutlery is metal, so I think the earlier reviewer stating that there was too much plastic might have been there at the very beginning, when things were getting settled).Anyway, love the place. Go check it out. If you like pastries, coffee, and kind people, you'll love it.

Got a Strawberry Cupcake and an Iced Cookie Butter Americano. I don't think I've had a cupcake so moist and the frosting melts in your mouth. I'll definitely be back very soon!
