Editorial Review for The Goddess & Grocer – by Jennifer Olvera

In Short
Foodies stop by this cute, tiny spot for food on the run. Decked in fuchsia and pea-green walls, it's lined with picnic-perfect prepackaged hot sauces, cereals and chocolates. In the deli case, there's organic orange-and-beet salad, meats like peppered salami and breads fresh from Red Hen bakery. Design-your-own salads and sandwiches are one option, while house preparations like smoked brisket with barbecue sauce, grilled onions and cheddar on Kaiser showcase the kitchen's creativity.

User Reviews for The Goddess & Grocer

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

03/26/2007 Posted by amy613

I was on my way back to the train after shopping at Raizy, and the salesgirls there recommended that I stop at Goddess and Grocer to pick up lunch. I had a delicious roast beef sandwich that was huge but I had to finish every bite, it was so good!! There is a little table where you can sit down to eat, but it's mostly a take-out spot. I would definitely pick up something ready-made from their case to take home for dinner-everything looked so good! They were very busy so the service wasn't great, but it was a weekend so maybe the service is better when it's not so busy. I did buy a few things from their grocery section, and they had a lot of gourmet items to choose from. This would be a great place to pick up wine, cheese and a few easy things if you were having friends over!

Pros: Great food, cute store

Cons: Long wait for your order

Not only do the people working here serve with a smile, they prepare the best food! I have been in here on numerous occassions recently and have not once been disappointed. They have great deals on wine, the sandwiches are creative and yummy, and for such a small space, they are able to pack in great last minute finds.

Pros: excellent service, great prices, and wonderful food

Cons: can't seem to find one
