The Goddess And Grocer

The Goddess & Grocer is so much more than your average neighborhood spot. We work with the best culinary minds, partner with amazing small and women-owned businesses, and support local charities making a difference in Chicago. All of this to bring you the very best in food, drink, gifts, catering and hospitality. Inspired by the markets in her hometown of Melbourne, Australia, owner Debbie Sharpe set up her first Goddess and Grocer in 2005, in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago. After traveling the globe for years, touring with and cooking for the likes of Tina Turner, and The Rolling Stones, she fell in love with Chicago during a Paul McCartney tour stop and jumped off the crew bus and never left. The globally-inspired menu at The Goddess and Grocer offers tastes and flavors from around the world. While you can find your favorite dishes, we also strive to curate the best ingredients and present them in unique but approachable dishes. We offer an extensive list of classic and clever sandwiches, a colorful selection of freshly prepared soups, and a salad bar full of crunchy vegetables, grains, cheeses, and proteins. From our own bakery, we present our famous Rainbow Cake, as well as a gorgeous variety of desserts and treats on display in our stores and sold nationwide. The Goddess Group also includes The Goddess Rocks! Catering, which creates customized backstage food experiences for some of the biggest performers in the world. Debbie has fed Lollapalooza, Paul McCartney, Fleetwood Mac, Jay-Z and Beyonce, to name only a few. At The Goddess and Grocer, we believe in the power of community, the influence of music, and most of all, we believe that lovely food and wine brings great people together.
