About
Our commitment to local, organic sourcing started early on, as we recognized the value of freshness and sustainability.
Our Story
Born out of a once in a generation opportunity in the busting city of Chicago, Illinois.
Infuzed Cafe was born out of a shared love for culinary innovation and natural botanicals. Our journey began when we realized that the worlds of traditional baking and infusion could intersect in an exciting and meaningful way. We sought to create a welcoming environment where people could come to explore and understand the potential benefits of THC, Kava, and natural mushrooms, integrated seamlessly into the comforting familiarity of baked goods and beverages.
Our commitment to local, organic sourcing started early on, as we recognized the value of freshness and sustainability. We built partnerships with local farmers and producers, nurturing a network that could support our vision while also bolstering our community. Each carefully chosen ingredient tells a story of our devotion to quality and respect for the environment.
At Infuzed Cafe, we’ve worked tirelessly to cultivate an atmosphere that’s as unique and intriguing as our menu. Our dedicated team strives to guide and educate customers, providing insights to help make the most informed choices. Together, we’ve turned our passion into a reality, creating a destination where traditional baking meets botanical exploration.
Our Vision
A destination to indulge in gourmet baked goods and drinks, with both infused and non-infused options.
Our vision for Infuzed Cafe is to become more than a cafe, but a cornerstone of our community and a beacon for botanical discovery. We strive to sustainably fuse culinary art and nature’s gifts to create innovative products that promote wellness and fulfill culinary curiosity. We envision a future where every person who walks through our doors feels not just like a customer, but a part of the Infuzed Cafe family.
We aim to continue growing while never losing sight of our commitment to local, organic sourcing and sustainability. As we evolve, our menu will expand, ever exploring new infusion possibilities and flavors to delight our patrons. Our educational focus will also deepen, with the goal of becoming a trusted resource on THC, Kava, and natural mushrooms within our community.
At Infuzed Cafe, we imagine a world where the line between traditional culinary fare and infused products blurs, offering an exciting and inclusive experience for all. It’s a vision rooted in quality, community, innovation, and exploration – and we’re excited to journey towards it together.

FAQS
Cordyceps are a type of fungi that grow in higher altitudes in the Himalayan regions of China, Nepal, Tibet and India. There are over 750 different kinds, but so far 35 of them have been shown to have health benefits.
Yes, Cordyceps are parasitic in nature. However, it is only parasitic to insects.
“Here’s how it works: A cordyceps spore lands on and infects its host. It then starts to spread mycelia (or tendrils) throughout the insect’s body. Those tendrils replace the host’s internal tissues and feed off of its nutrients. Once the insect is fully paralyzed or dead, the cordyceps fungus erupts out of the insect’s body with a fruiting body (the visible reproductive structure of cordyceps). This fruiting body then spreads its spores to other insects of the same species” (Cleveland Clinic).
The fruiting body is what gives us the health benefits from Cordyceps. This can be ground up and added into our foods and/or drinks.
Cordyceps come in many different forms for consumption. These include but are not limited to: capsules, powders, teas, and coffees.
The two major Cordyceps that contain health benefits are C. sinensis and C. militaris. These have been shown to decrease inflammation, which can in turn help with our cholesterol levels as well.
Not only that, but Cordyceps has been shown to help increase exercise performance. It improves our VO2 max, which shows how much oxygen our bodies absorb during exercise. It also improves our ATP production, which provides energy to our muscle groups.
Cordyceps also contains anti-aging properties by regulating energy metabolism.
Some studies also show that it regulates blood sugar, as well as providing anti-cancer properties.
