I asked for a veggie burger and they gave me meat. That's disrespectful!!

Very disappointing experience.

Chicken wrap tasted soggy and old, like it had been sitting there for hours.

Latte tasted more like drip coffee than a proper latte.

Staff looked unhappy and unmotivated, which made the atmosphere feel cold and unwelcoming.

Paid 22.74 USD for those items in total.

Unfortunately, this is the only coffee shop in the already terrible Terminal 5. Would not come back.

Agree airport vendors are a rip off but this place took it to another level! $5 for a 20oz water? And they will not give regular tap water, of course how will they make money. Yes we could go to the bathroom water filler but they are cold and not everyone wants it. Airport authorities should be thoughtful about passengers need when they run such a big show and such food places should be extra thoughtful

I stumbled upon The Goddess and the Grocer during a layover at O’Hare and—wow—what a gem! Airports aren’t usually where you find legit good food, but this place blew me away. I grabbed a turkey club and a fresh green juice, and both were honestly better than anything I expected to find in a terminal. Super fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

The vibe was also a nice surprise—bright, clean, and welcoming, with friendly staff who didn’t seem stressed out (a rare find in any airport eatery). It was the perfect little haven amidst the chaos of travel.

Highly recommend if you’re passing through Terminal 5 and want something delicious and healthy(ish) without settling for the usual fast food. A total upgrade to my airport routine.

It’s too hard to read the name of this shop with it’s special kind of writing! I didn’t buy anything from them but I saw happy faces shopping at this place.
It’s exactly located at the entrance of the airport gates, so they see lots of cries of people who leave their families ❤️❤️❤️

Furious!!! I ordered a burger with no cheese and no mayo! When the order was ready the guy handed it to me and said “burger and no cheese and mayo”. I had no doubt it was exactly how I ordered it. I went straight to the gate. When I started eating it, the burger had BOTH CHEESE AND MAYO!! Guys, what’s up??? Why do you not care at all?? I am extremely mad!!! You left me hungry and charged me for that!

I recently visited this restaurant and was shocked by the quality of the food. The dish I ordered was clearly spoiled—an unpleasant smell and taste made it inedible. It's unacceptable to serve food that is past its prime, especially when customers are paying good money. This experience has made me lose trust in the kitchen's standards, and I won't be returning. I hope the management takes this issue seriously before it causes more harm.
