Goddess is a counter-service shop on Damen that has made-to-order sandwiches, prepared foods, salad bar, grab-n-go snacks, wine, cheese, and much more. They recently moved across the street from their old shop and made some serious upgrades. There is a ton more space, product and seating and they added a patio for when the sun is shining. I work from home a lot, so I go to their salad bar at least twice a week for lunch. It is always well kept and fresh and there are a ton of toppings to choose from. For a snack, I love to grab their adult lunchables. This is a phrase I am coining now, but I bet if you went in and asked for one, they would know where to point you. I always like to grab one of these snack packs while I'm out and about because I can never survive from brunch to dinner without a little something (read: cheese).
If you are feeling lazy and don't feel like preparing a meal for dinner, stop in there and grab a rotisserie chicken, a few sides, and a bottle of wine (or two) then head home, heat it up and relax.
More on their lunch options soon!
