Goodwin’s is a great spot to grab a fresh, delicious breakfast or a quick lunch. They also offer catering. Everything is well made, and the menu has something for everyone. The space itself is beautiful, bright, welcoming, and a really nice place to relax or hang out. Friendly, hard working staff. They’ve recently added a happy hour, which is a fantastic bonus. I highly recommend stopping by and checking it out.

If you haven’t been to Goodwins yet, you’re seriously missing out. It’s this hidden gem inside an office building, and honestly, walking in made my whole day better.
The service was impeccable and super fast, but the food? Perfection. I got the Summer Salad and every single berry was perfectly ripe. They have two full pages of different salads—the variety is massive. I had it for lunch AND dinner and still have leftovers!
I also tried the Macadamia Nut Marshmallow Coffee and it was so unique—nutty, sweet, and came with two vegan marshmallows that were actually yummy and fluffy. If you’re vegan, they have tons of bakery options for you, too.
The Deals:
$2 Muffin Days (wow, such a steal!)
Awesome Happy Hour specials
The owner and his son are the hardest working people and the staff is incredibly friendly. I’m definitely making this my daily go-to spot—I can’t wait to try every single drink on the menu.

Was working an event that had ordered catering from here, Tom the owner personally came up to check on our event and make sure that we were happy with the food/the order was correct. As a vegetarian person, I was pleasantly surprised with the selection of veg options. Compared to other boxed sandwich lunches, this place definitely feels a cut above in terms of freshness and has some unique components. Only critique would be that the salad entrees could use some more of the quinoa/couscous/grain/etc to make it more fulfilling.

I think I messed up… Goodwin’s has so many great options and I decided to order the sandwich with turkey and sour cream! The Nogales sandwich features an interesting combination that I have no idea why I ordered. It was good and showcase delicious meat, but there are so many better options like the Cuban Reuben or any traditional sandwich. The service was great and the owner is very welcoming. The atmosphere is free but a little contrasting, with the green apple logo contrasting the decorations that include surfboards. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Goodwin’s and will be back to try another sandwich. For now, I give Goodwin’s 4 stars!

An absolutely delicious quick lunch while we were out exploring the city. A little tricky to find, because it’s in a big corporate building, but I’m glad we risked walking in and found it.
Staff was super nice. Food was fresh and everything we’d hoped for.

I get a free Grubhub delivery at work.
Today I selected Goodwin’s. I ordered the Sea Breeze Salad. It came in a study container, and was a generous portion. Looks and tastes delicious. But it was 30 minutes late. Don’t know if the problem was Goodwin’s or Grubhub.
As I sit here eating and writing this review, I will order from them again.
I have ordered a couple more times. In every case the order came late. Today I was there as the order was laid out, the bag with my soup was not labeled with my name or the contents. The cookies and chips people had ordered were also unlabeled and all in one bag.
I will NOT be ordering from them again. It is a large order, we had a lot of people order from them. But the delay and difficulties getting the right order are not worth the tasty food.

I’m so thoroughly impressed with this place and everything about it. Tom, who I believe is the owner/manager?, is an absolute gem. The friendliest guy you’ll ever meet with some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. And it’s obvious he expects the same from everyone who works with him because they’re all stellar. The food is top notch with so many great options, you can’t go wrong. Their new space is lovely as well. Big big fan and happy to have a great lunch spot in the Loop!

Goodwin’s is an absolute gem! The service is impeccable – the owner and his team here go above and beyond to make every visit a delight. Their menu is a testament to fresh, quality ingredients and creativity. From vibrant, crisp salads (and dressings that will leave you dreaming of more) to flavorful wraps, hearty homemade soups, and inventive sandwiches, every bite is phenomenal. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a leisurely meal, Goodwin’s is sure to exceed expectations. Highly recommend!

We are so lucky to have this spot in our building. The food is amazing whether breakfast or lunch and the owner Tom is top notch.
His customer service skills is off the chain and expects the same from his employees.
Let’s talk about the food, it’s fresh and seasoned well. My favorite breakfast sandwich is called the Venice it’s toasted bread, peanut butter and thick bacon slices with a drizzle of honey. For lunch my spouse go to is the Corvallis: Sliced turkey breast, lettuce, avocado, tomato, cheddar cheese & monterey jack cheese with 1,000 island dressing on wheat, mine is the Ranier:
Roasted turkey breast, crisp bacon, cole slaw, cheddar cheese and russian dressing on sour dough
