It's been a hot minute since I've been to The Goddess and Grocer. I had a salad as well as a sparkling lychee matcha drink. Both were delicious but I think I may go with a lighter drink next time. The display cases also had plenty of to go options and bakery items that I will venture into next time. Ordering is straight forward. The wait is not long and I had my order within a few minutes. I chose to sit outside and the tables were tidy and clean. There is also the option of sitting inside with a few tables between the counters and cases of merchandise and food items. I will add this to my rotation when I need a little treat outside of bringing my lunch to work. read more

I walked by this place while I was in the area to grab a coffee. I ordered the banana date latte, which was amazing -- a perfect blend of banana and dates that added a nice, healthy sweetness. I also got a croissant. The place has a seating area too. There's also a small vendor inside selling cool things like candles and other unique goodies. Definitely a must-try spot! read more

Stopped in for a quick coffee and decided to try the Banana Date Latte. It was pretty good but a bit too sweet. Haven't tried the other fall flavors but they look good. read more

(G)o or no go - go! Stopped by intending to j grab a coffee but stayed for a whole breakfast (W)ow factor - The grocery is full of little gift cards, cute eclectic stationary, and whimsical cakes. It's adorable and wholesome. (A)ge - Most people just drop by for a coffee before work, so it's pretty young corporate. (M)enu - The chopped salad and matzo ball soup were super filling and healthy. The lavendar latte was like a drop from flower heaven and the barista who made it had A+ energy! Shout out to her read more

Delicious caramel latte, definitely on the sweeter side! Though, since I was dining in, I wish they served it in a mug. As for food, my goat cheese danish was incredible. Roommate said the goddess breakfast wrap was very mid, lacked flavor. Very cute storefront with lots of premade food for purchase and other grocery and knickknack items. Service was fine! read more

Cute spot with unique items. I got some take home chicken noodle soup, chicken, couscous, and cauliflowe. Honestly none of it was mind blowing but great to pick up something to bring home when I don't feel like cooking read more

There's a Goddess and Grocer near my workplace but I've never been, so I wanted to stop in and see what they're about when I was in the West Loop. They have a lot of specialty food items--crackers, wines, sodas, craft alcohol, you name it. You can get some nice crackers, nuts, and spreads for your charcuterie board here (I saw some quince paste and I bet they had some fig jam here). There were even some packages of salami and other meats. However, their cheese selection was either small or nonexistent, so I'd probably get the meat and cheese elsewhere (though cheese shops are shockingly few in Chicago now). They have a pastry case that has some delicious cakes, cupcakes, and so on. I got a cinnamon apple bundt cake to share and it was really fantastic. They had cake slices in another case, and some decorated cookies on display as well. I think they must sell lunch foods here because there were several tables inside the shop as well and tables set up outside at which customers could dine. It's a good shop for specialty items if you need them and are around. You'll pay a premium, but it's small and you can get in and out within 5 minutes so that definitely has value. read more

Stopped in for a slice of cake and explored the store while I was there. They have a few cute items up front and offer a pretty good selection of items. I specifically enjoyed their little selection of charcuterie goods! This spot has a salad bar too. The slice of rainbow cake that I got was pretty good - you can buy a whole cake of it too! If I need a sweet treat or quick bite next time, i'll stop by! read more

Stopped by here after having lunch nearby. I didn't realize it's like a mini grocery shop inside. I only wanted a caffeinated drink, so I ordered the iced lavender chai, and it was DELICIOUS! I plan to go back and try some of their other drinks and goodies. read more

Great place! The staff were friendly and were very helpful. The treats are all so good!

I came here on a weekend to grab a bite with friends. This location has a variety of options for drinks, snacks, food (hot/cold) etc. They have minimal seating inside and in the patio. Customer service: friendly and quick Wicker Park ($11.95): fresh mozarella, artichokes, olives, tomatoes, pesto mayo, spinach all inside a Tuscan roll. The ingredients blended together well and was good. The sandwich is a decent size. I'd be back if I was in the area. read more

Love all the locations of the goddess! Living in Chicago for 13 years this was a fixture to our functioning and when we come back to visit, it is a great place to stop by for a quick bite and a warm beverage! Also they have like the deli prepared items so if you want just something to eat at a your hotel, it is a great place to stop and getsome thing healthy, and prepared. read more

An okay place to grab lunch or browse snacks. The prepackaged food items seem a bit overpriced to me.

I enjoyed a delightful breakfast at Goddess and the Grocer, discovering it to be an incredibly cozy and charming spot. The menu has a diverse range of items that cater to all palates. Whether you're a fan of hearty sandwiches, fresh salads, or indulgent desserts, Goddess and Grocer has something to satisfy every craving. I got the Iced Chai Latte with oat milk and the Goddess breakfast wrap with sausage, scrambled eggs, spinach, feta, avocado, spinach wrap, and salsa. It was very delicious! The staff at Goddess and Grocer are incredibly friendly and attentive, contributing to the overall positive experience. The only minor drawback is the limited seating for those who prefer to dine in. However, I managed to find a comfortable spot without much difficulty. read more

That matzo ball soup was delicious hunny! Thanks for the quick service! Still hot when the door dash delivered it!!

Goddess and the Baker is a great spot for coffee and breakfast. I typically go for a warm Mocha, but they have seasonal drinks that are fun to try. And, the coffee art is great! They have a wonderful pastry bar including muffins and croissants. Or, if you want something savory they will have options of the sunrise burrito or salmon plate ( bagel, cream cheese, and smoked salmon) read more

Got a make your own salad and a California Dreaming sandwich, to go. So delicious. I did unfortunately get an olive with a pit, so watch out for that. Quick service on a mid morning Friday from very pleasant staff. I walked out forgetting my sandwich returning a few minutes later to find it waiting for me. Very clean store with a variety of options including prepared meals. We're visiting the area but would recommend it if you're looking for good, healthy food at reasonable prices. read more

Goddess and Grocer fills the new age yuppie cult-sized gap in the West Loop, offering "elevated" deli sandwiches, useless new age garbage, and racism. To start, the staff at this location is largely phenomenal despite working in a seemingly-challenged location. This building seems like it is on fire or subject of a near-violent hate crime almost every week but the majority of the G&G team is always friendly and I appreciate their candor as their work their way through numerous crises. The kitchen staff also routinely kills it with excellent breakfast and lunch sandwiches despite being forced to add arugula to almost every item on the menu. I work in the neighborhood and have been proud to recommend coworkers from my office to pop-ups at G&G in the past. The leadership and mismanagement of the store makes me regret my decision to hype this location up. Shelves are constantly stocked with expired products or prepared foods that are not dated or clearly spoiled. I have spoken with several counter staff about expired or undated goods, one of which I consumed in error and subsequently found myself feeling deeply ill. The team was very apologetic but it doesn't seem like the dating and food waste practices of the store have improved since, as I continue to find beer or other perishable goods that would not be put up for sale at any other high-end grocer. Selection of goods is also very limited, a problem that is exacerbated by all the, for lack of a better descriptor, new age hippy bullshit intended to draw out my "inner goddess." Gwyneth Paltrow would probably adore this store, to put it succinctly. Not sure if this is an ownership call or if an investor is treating this store as a vanity enterprise for their own crystal healing nonsense, but I can't imagine that this is an efficient use of space in a smaller grocery store. Certainly, the neighborhood would be better served by just about any other product other than northern light-purified bath salts and I imagine the staff's time would be better spent checking expiration dates on their meats and cheeses rather than arranging $30 sage sticks. Finally, higher end management seems unfamiliar with the concept of customer service or even basic human social skills. The West Loop can already an unwelcoming neighborhood for our neighbors of color and Store Manager Katie? Jamie? is doing her utmost to ensure that only white professionals feel welcomed in this space. I am not sure how this store will retain vendor and employee buy-in given her nasty attitude towards non-white customers and gig workers who enter the store to do business. Very glad that the West Loop finally has a good early morning spot for reasonably priced to-go sandwiches, just disappointed that it has to come from a prejudiced cult-y establishment. Best of luck to the few employees who still seem to be working there, as the store went from well-staffed to almost entirely deserted since opening. read more

I enjoyed my coffee and half of my breakfast. Then I was rudely told I needed to leave, as seating was for only one hour. This service was unkind and rude. You can speak to a guest with greater friendliness. All around me heard this and commented. Today, a popular dining spot is wonderful. Tomorrow, trends change. read more

Lovely quaint store. Has a very curated selections of drinks, sauces, food etc.. lovely to browse and find something new. I guess it is a good bakery also. read more

We love this place for so many reasons. 1) great food - we are particularly obsessed with their matzo ball soup, breakfast quesadilla, and maple bacon and egg sandwich. DELISH! 2) super dog friendly - no, dogs (excluding service dogs) are not inside for obvious food safety reasons as a food establishment but they are big supporters of PAWS Chicago, have a window for pickup and seating for folks with dogs outside, and offer a very cute pup cup my dog loves, 3) a great selection of unique and seasonal products curated from both National and local startups, 4) friendly service with tasting events during the week. They are a gem in the neighborhood! read more

Great baked goods and coffees. Friendly staff. We especially love the cake slices! This place is a great addition to the West Loop!

Wonderful shop with great coffee and desserts! Very interesting and unique small gifts too.

So glad we have this store in our neighborhood! Everyone's always very friendly, and it's great for food, wine and even small house gifts (candles, kitchen gadgets, specialty candies) if you need to grab something in a hurry. Love this spot! read more

Love this place, their staff, and everything about Goddess! Best specialty items I can't find in any other stores. Always consistent, ALWAYS SO NICE! Fun candles and gifts too! Walk-up window too if you're walking with your pup and need a drink(one of the few walk up windows in west loop for this purpose!)!!! Oh... and their desserts.... Treat yourself! read more
