What the source shows: The originally located address (ZIP 60666, an O'Hare Airport code) did not match a plausible Chicago cafe location; the business's own site lists its Bucktown flagship at 1649 N. Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647, which the Census geocoder matched exactly.

According to goddessandgrocer.com, checked 2026-09-08, the site listed an active online ordering system, powered by BentoBox, along with sections for catering, custom cakes, gifting, and a rewards program.
