Hidden Gem! - Edit
Very cool little spot in South Shore that offers sandwiches and smoothies. Everything is vegetarian and very easily veganized. Very affordable as well. Check out their dry goods section while you're there.

I don't usually eat sandwiches because I want to avoid wheat - Edit
However, Good Foods offered gluten-free bread. I ordered the avocado sandwich with gluten-free bread. Since they were out of GF bread, the owner, Camilla Alfred, offered me sprouted bread instead. I agreed, knowing that sprouting kills the lectins in gluten. (Most places don't offer sprouted bread.) Since I could have sprouts or spinach, I opted for sprouts. That day the sprouts were combined with large sunflower sprouts.
Read moreWhile I waited at a table, I conversed with Alfred's mom about vegetarianism on Chicago's South Side. Originally, the store was located farther west, but Alfred moved to the present location 10 years ago. Although people in the neighborhood have known about Good Foods for years, I only recently heard about this "hidden jewel." Alfred followed in the footsteps of naturopathic doctor Alvina Fulton, who used to have a shop on Damen; she practices naturopathy next door at the Sky Alternative.
When she brought my sandwich, wow! It was jampacked with onions, zucchini, bell pepper, the greens/sprouts combination, vegan cheese and a sauce to die for. I had to cut it in half to pick it up. When I bit the toasted sandwich, the bottom bread cover dropped away. So I held the greens as cover and chewed away. Then I picked up the pieces that broke off, and the sauce dripped on my hand. Of course, I licked it away and headed for the jampacked second half, repeating the process. I was one happy camper! Next time I'll try a dinner at the steam table.
Pros: The whole sandwich, The sauce

Vegan- focused goodness - Edit
The aromas will bring you in, the flavors will keep you coming back. I’m from Los Angeles, and I will be sure to visit whenever I come to Chicago. I wasn’t hungry when I walked in, I just wanted a smoothie. But when I saw the vegan Mac and cheese, I had to have some. Delicious! Btw, you’re sure to love the “banana uplift” smoothie.

Good food, good people - Edit
This is a little deli style restaurant. Food to go or eat in. We had a few dinner plates and tried the meatloaf, Mac and cheese, greens, black eyed peas, sweet potatoes, and jerk chicken. The seasoning is awesome without too much salt and oil. And oh my god, the desserts. Raw brownie and strawberry cheese pie.
Read moreGo. Support this place. The people running it were the warmest and most pleasant people that we encountered in our four days in Chicago and the food was fantastic!
Pros: Awesome food, Friendly staff, Good value
