The Goddess and Grocer opens in Chicago’s bustling Andersonville neighborhood on May 14 at 5318 N. Clark Street. The Andersonville location menu includes Goddess’s signature salad bar, prepared foods, freshly made soups and salads, coffee, pastries, desserts, and more.

A portion of May 14th proceeds to benefit the Andersonville’s Howard Brown Health Center, which is a Midwest-based healthcare organization that addresses the health care needs of people in the LGBT community.

In addition to a new location, Debra Sharpe will unveil a new menu spring 2016, which will also roll out at her other locations. Highlights include, naan flatbreads, an Australian version of avocado toast, and a crisp Vietnamese noodle salad.

"We are tightening up our sandwich menu and adding more salad options and other lighter entree offerings for people to enjoy this summer,” says owner Debra Sharpe.

Desserts will be served all day to satisfy any sweet tooth, including Sharpe’s signature layered Rainbow Cake and oversized Rice Krispie Treats.
