Whole Foods Market

Awesome selection for on the go lunches, and considering it is whole foods, the prices are relatively fair. always lots of good options. the homemade pizzas are delicious. the people behind the sandwich counter are always fast and efficient and friendly.
the upstairs seating area is super convenient for a quick bite.

This whole foods has disappointed me a few times too many. While the store is nice and airy and the meat counter is great (one of the few places that carries local pork belly!), I have had several disappointing produce purchases: a frozen rocky ford cantaloupe (was firm and cold in store, took home where it defrosted and became damp and mushy within an hour) and some mushrooms that were moldy.
Their oatmeal bar is a sad state… Instead of the typical WF options (quinoa/​oat blend, steel cut, raisin mix, etc… Some variety of oatmeals), on my last 8:30 am visit they had only one container, jut plain oatmeal… Which would have been fine except it wasn’t cooked! It was literally almost raw oats sitting in water. Gross. If you aren’t going to do it right, don’t do an oatmeal bar at all and stick to the burritos!
A bunch of people working, but no one asks if you need help or are finding everything. I will drive the extra 10 minutes to go to the wash park whole foods. Better attention to quality and customer service there!

The manager Miranda Sharp or showp? She wrote her name so sloppy so I couldn’t read it… — she was the most condescending and the rudest experience with such attitude from the «manager» gave me such a hassle with a return and didn’t even care. I will never go to this whole foods again.
Besides… Vitamin cottage has better food and service and some cheaper prices.

Honestly, I like this place. Close to work. Friendly staff. Quick check out lanes. Although I don’t shop for groceries here, there lunch selection is phenomenal. The parking can be atrocious at times and they do run out of pizza, but overall, will keep coming back.

This Whole Foods is very close to my office so it gets some of my paycheck every month.
I typically come here for the salmon and avocado roll when I have a sushi craving because it is surprisingly fresh for being basically supermarket sushi. I usually get that and an avocado roll even though it sets me back about $ 13. I’m sure I could get the same thing cheaper elsewhere but I like convenience.
The service is also very friendly here, which I appreciate. One thing I tend to love about Whole Foods is the fact that they aren’t shy about giving things away for free. Not a whole cart full of groceries or my whole sushi order or anything but once I mentioned to a cashier that I wanted to try something but didn’t want to spend the money on it in case I didn’t like it and he went and got a bag and gave it to me for free. Apparently, they can do that once or twice a day or something. Another time, the deli clerk had ripped the bar code on something and rather than asking me to run back and get another one or waiting for the deli to bring up another tag, he gave it to me for free. I appreciated that I didn’t have to mess with the hassle of waiting for something like that to be corrected.
I don’t do all my grocery shopping here obviously but it’s good for a quick lunch run a few times a month or for picking up something I wouldn’t normally be able to find easily at the regular grocery store.

Nice convenient stop off of Colorado blvd. Feels more like a boutique whole food as it is much smaller than other with less selection. The buffet only has a small selection of pre made entrees and a relatively small salad bar.

I pretty much love all whole foods, but this one is my favorite because they have the sushi bowls that I lived in florida whole foods. They are raw fish, spicy sauce, rice, and usually cucumber. The ones in Florida had avocado too. The only whole foods in Denver that has this and well worth $ 10! I wish more Denver stores had it. hint hint It has a nice upstairs dining area.

This one gets two stars because I like their decaf coffee and decaf is the only coffee i can drink due to my ANXIETY DISORDER. Other than that, this Whole Foods never fails to disappoint. This location is the home of $ 20 apples I bought apples that I bought accidentally but then returned immediately. What kind of f-​nut pays $ 20 for 5 apples. No one who has eaten an apple before. Also they put craisins in their salad. Or cranberries. Whatever. I can’t remember. All I can really tell you is that I wanted a goat cheese and beet salad and thought Whole Foods would be the place to get that even though I hate Whole Foods. They do not. So don’t even bother.
One time I didn’t have lunch and didn’t want to go to Whole Foods so I went to the Carniceria next door and then I just bought a bunch of Goya sauces which you can’t really eat for lunch. Oh also they have a big sign on their Ben and Jerry’s saying $ 4.99 Low Price! That’s actually the highest price I’ve seen in Denver. It is usally 3.99 at Target and 4.29 at Scoops.
I almost forgot. I bought a salad and due to poor physics layout, it was an explosion of croutons. All the croutons were in one corner. I tried to mix them and they went flying all over my desk. All the cheese was in another corner. Now my keyboard is full of cheese crumbs. This salad was too tightly packed and also I hate iceberg lettuce but it was the only dried fruit and onion free offering.

This Whole Foods is a smaller location with not as much to choose from but, it is nice when you only need a few items. You can get in and out very quickly. There is also a staffer here who let me in on their vitamin program. I have been a Whole Food shopper for a long time and never knew! So thanks to him I am more informed. They are really good about opening check outs so you don’t have to wait.

This is my go-​to Whole Foods for a reason. Staff is always very friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to see me. While the store itself is small compared to other Whole Foods in the area, they carry everything I need and buy.
The meat and seafood counter is awesome! We buy our weekly salmon here and it is so good that it tastes like it couldn’t possibly be healthy. I can get my husband to eat it no problem. =^^=
They have lots of gluten free options, which I love. We sometimes bop in here to pick up a random treat or last second item for dinner. There’s always something in here I want.

Avoid this Whole Foods if you are looking for a food bar, especially if you have gluten intolerance or any other food sensitivities. They have a poor selection of hot foods, usually disgusting-​looking glop thickened with wheat flour.

They’re almost always out of stock on something I go there for. Something is terribly wrong with this location. Shut it down, expand it, replace the management, do something!

The Chantilly cake is astounding! Huge pieces! But they don’t sit in you like a big piece of cake. Very light and wonderful.
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner! (Restrictions apply, may not contain actual Chicken Dinner)

Not the biggest fan of this Whole Foods. The store seems extremely cluttered and the deli? section always leaves everything to be desired.

I like this one mainly because it’s smaller and less overwhelming. I’m not an avid Whole Foods shopper, but probably go once or twice a quarter so I don’t know the layouts that well.
As with all of my Whole Foods experiences, the staff are always super friendly and helpful and the produce is always killer. Albeit minimal, this location does have some fresh breads and cheese available and that’s usually what I’m here for anyway.
Positive experience — I’ll be back.

Purchased the sale «coho salmon wild». AWFUL. You should be ashamed. We buy the King and farm raised from you. Always very good. This salmon was totally tasteless.
Don’t buy this this product.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST IF YOU CARE ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS!
I wish I could give this place a 0 star rating. Offended is not the word for what my wife and I experienced. Violated, appalled, embarrassed, and utterly disgusted we ever spent a penny in this store.
Let me start by saying, my wife and I would frequent this location, for over a year, sometimes going 7 days a week, but not for their selection, it is by far the worst whole foods for vegans we have ever been to. That being, and us being veteran patrons of this location, we are familiar with most of the cashiers.
On May 3^rd 2014, my wife and I were waiting for friends to arrive at this dump. We tend to grab a meal for us to prepare together, rather than search high and low for a restaurant in the area that serves vegan, organic food, soyfree. While waiting, the obese police officer that normally stands in the front of the store, besides looking morbidly obese, he gives mean looks, and faces of disgust and hunger to anyone that does not match the status quo of the area, which is generally old people, and cherry creek jogger moms.
The officer came outside to confront us, saying that we were to leave the property immediately, or risked arrest for trespassing. Being utterly confused by the situation, we of course questioned why a store we frequented and spent tons of money at was kicking us out? He of course was verbally abusive, and claimed we were giving him lip, which under his badge of authority, is deemed punishable by arrest, just for having an opinion. Eventually, he brought my wife and I inside the store, just to find out, we did nothing wrong, and I just «looked» like a person that was kicked out of the store earlier that day for panhandling. Mind you, looking like this alleged beggar consisted of dressing in black tight jeans and band shirt, as well as being under 40, which is a rarity to exist in that store as far as shoppers go.
No apology for the attack by their goon police officer, who responded to us when we said, we were no longer shopping at whole foods, here or any WF for that matter, he said «good,» as if we did anything wrong, besides looking different, to his close minded criteria, and spending a ton of money at this store, for over priced goods.
Why would a cop working on loss prevention for this store disrespect paying patrons whom did nothing wrong?
Whole foods may have erupted into a consumerist waste land, but it was founded on alternative living, and I highly doubt the founder would agree with the way we were treated.
Shop at another Whole foods if you have any dignity, we know the phony soccer moms, and over weight patrons buying 5 boxes of la croix sparkling water for double the price wont give a crap about this post, but for the sake of our future generations, we need to eliminate discrimination. I know that is asking a lot out of Denver, but when you are going to a store that supposedly embraces alternative living, this should never be tolerated.
Other gripes, they removed the bike rack, which they stuck in the back with all the garbage. Even when it was there, the employees would just leave crates and pallets obstructing it. What health food store does not have bike parking?
They stopped selling pretty much every item we bought eventually, they disgracefully abuse their pine trees during consumer holiday Christmas, leave birds trapped in their store for weeks, and workers laughing about it dying, a lot of waste in the bulk section, they tend to ring up the wrong plu codes, and pricing does not ring up as displayed, you have to be really careful about checking out. 50% of their vegan selection eventually is replaced with a GMO dairy substitute for double the price. When packing a back pack, this sometimes causes a rift in there workflow, confuses and disorients the packer, causing more time wasted at check out, that may be to assist the cashier while they mindlessly punch in random plu codes for items I did not buy, charging me double what I was expecting to pay.
The prepared food stand has turned into a old country buffet, removing any cultural food, and replacing it with fried, home style aka KFC style foods and condiments. The bulk spices some times are so old and dusty, some no longer have flavor, but the workers will be sure to scope you out to ensure you are not stealing, but if you ask them a question it is like asking them some sort of trivia they are unaware the subject of, even though it is their job to know.
All this and more, which we normally looked past due to the convenience of this place but discrimination, being bullied and disrespected by the manager and police officer of this store was the last straw.
If you actually care about that HRC sticker on your Subaru, shop at another Whole foods. Enjoy your over priced homestyle buffet.

I usually am a fan of whole food prepared foods and salad bar.
This whole foods did not live up to all others.
The salad bar was 1 ½ bays, opposed to the usualy 2 bays of salad fixins’ I’m accustomed to. The lettuce was all horrible looking. It was incredibly obvious that the romaine had been frozen and no one cared to get rid of it– you could see ice crystals and spot marks from freezing all over it.
Next, they had dolmas which were all very irregular in shape and size, but well seasoned. The thing that was really strange to me is that they had dolmas but no hummus or tabbouleh in the salad bar. Cut to me wandering the whole store to try and find a container of hummus to slop on the salad prior to eating.
WHole foods, you usually do right by me. Sad you weren’t able to this time.

From the outside, this Whole Foods looks large and in charge. The inside is pitiful and makes the store seem like it should be an Express or Mini version — possibly because there are several WF within a small radius here. Not a large variety of items, and the hot/​cold food bar is a fraction of the usual selection.

I’m really digging this Whole Foods location lately. Granted, it is a smaller store and the selection is somewhat limited but I think that makes it feel more like a neighborhood market. I also feel like this location puts more emphasis on local produce and products than some other WF locations I’ve visited. The employees are very friendly and most helpful as well.
The upstairs portion of the store houses The Wellness Center in Denver, an award winning wellness clinic offering massage, chiropractic, acupuncture and naturopathic medicine.
And here’s something really cool I just noticed the other day: outside on the east side of the building (near the loading dock area) is a public bike repair station complete with a stand, a pump, and tools. Nice touch! Just another way this Whole Foods location is involved in the community.
