Current status
As of October 2026, The Goddess & Grocer is listed open on goddessandgrocer.com, reviewed by our team on September 7, 2026; not yet independently confirmed through direct contact.
What the source shows: The originally located address (ZIP 60666, an O'Hare Airport code) did not match a plausible Chicago cafe location; the business's own site lists its Bucktown flagship at 1649 N. Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647, which the Census geocoder matched exactly. How we decide a status →

What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
In the episode 'Layers of Goodness' (S9E15), the series featured The Goddess & Grocer, an American cafe and specialty grocery in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, offering sandwiches, prepared foods, and gourmet grocery items alongside custom cakes and catering. According to goddessandgrocer.com, checked 2026-09-08, the site listed an active online ordering system, powered by BentoBox, along with sections for catering, custom cakes, gifting, and a rewards program. The site identified the Bucktown location as the flagship of the business. The address supplied in the original location data (ZIP 60666, the code for O'Hare International Airport) did not correspond to an actual cafe location; the business's own site lists its Bucktown address as 1649 N. Damen Avenue, Chicago, IL 60647, which this record uses instead.
