Whole Foods Market

Handy to have Whole Foods right across the street from my office. Easy to run in grab a quick salad and go. Lines are sometimes long but they do a great job of getting you through quickly. While I was in line today, a guy at the pizza firing station moved half the line over to the bar to pay. 5 stars for Great customer service!

When I lived close by, I came here pretty frequently but now that I am further away, I don’t come nearly as often. The big draw was the pre-​made food options — either already packaged in the refrigerated area or the serve yourself hot items. I don’t have much experience with the made to order areas. The things that I prefer at Whole Foods over other groceries is the extensive salad bar that includes meat options, the variety of hot soups, and the roast beef deli meat. If I am looking for actual grocery items, I almost always go elsewhere because of the price and /​or variety. I wish they had more local items that I find at the farmers’ market. 3 stars.

The deli guys were great as I was walking by they greeted me, I grabbed groceries and some delish clam chowder, I normally shop at New Seasons but thought I would pop in. All went well until a cashier rang me up, she was rude when I commented that I got a great deal on wine that was marked down to $ 3.99, she totally snubbed me for buying cheap wine and gave me a smirk and then said how much I owed. I told her to have a nice day and she said yeah um you too. I had higher expectations. I run my own business and thought a high end grocery store would have friendly cashiers. I will take my $ 400 a month grocery budget back to New Seasons.

I have been coming here since they opened and they have seen better days all around.
The inventory is dwindling, especially in the deli (which has shrunken to include literally none of the things they offered in the past), the soup selection was not appealing or interesting, the hot food section also very unappealing, limited, and just gross.
I cannot find half of the name brands that I buy elsewhere, many replaced by their own «private label» which I do not want or like.
No reason to return anymore…

While I find myself here sometimes I have to say, I am not a fan. I thinkthat is partly because I can’t help compare it to New Seasons which I like a lot better. So why come here? It is close to work and I drive past it most days on my way home. That is to say some days I do come in here to grab something quick.
The bad
The prices are high
The food so-​so.
The good
Service is good
The store looks nice.
Yeah That sums it up.

We ate at the Whole Food Tanasbourne salad bar on July 17^th. We had to wait for 20 minutes for them to put some lettuce in the bin. Then the person at the register in the restaurant area was super busy, so they told us to go to the front to pay.
We had put our open bowl salads on the conveyor belt (how unsanitary is that?), and asked the young woman at the register not to put her fingers in our bowls. She carefully placed the first bowl on the scale, hands on the bottom of the bowl. She put both thumbs in the 2^nd bowl. We asked her again not to do this. Thumbs again went into the 3^rd bowl.
We found a dirty table, wiped it off ourselves, and found they were out of forks. We waited for 10 minutes to get forks. When we were done, the mound of dirty dishes was so high, there was no place to put ours.
We used the restroom afterward. Floor was covered with toilet paper and dirty paper towels.
I will never eat here again.
ZERO stars for Whole Foods restaurant.

I don’t shop here, mainly because the prices are too high.
What I do like, and why they get any stars from me at all is due to their recycling program. They take all #5 plastic: lids, yogurt tubs, etc in a special bin. Usually, apartment recycling programs do not accept these plastics and throw them out. This way, I know that plastic will be used to make other products.
They also accept plastics not accepted in typical curbside pickups like #4 bags, lids, caps, and take out plastic containers and plastic fruit containers (think strawberries).
If it weren’t for that, you would never see me here.

Super friendly and helpful staff! I work in the Streets of Tanasbourne and am so glad there’s a Whole Foods conveniently located right across the street from us! Gotta have my daily dose of kombucha deliciousness :)

They would have gotten 5 stars from me if it wasn’t for there deli department, I always have to ask for help after standing there for 2 to 3 min on none busy hours, don’t know why, every other area like meat department are great produce great check out great, just deli they treat me like they are doing me a favor, I have changed them for market of choice sorry to say a bit further but worth my drive

Typical Whole Foods. I actually don’t shop here much, even if it is super duper close to home. I prefer New Seasons.
They have a large produce section, but not everything is organic. Prices tend to run high and it makes me feel like I’m paying for the «Whole Foods» experience more than the products. But I haven’t actually done any serious price comparison with New Seasons, so perhaps I’m wrong. Just not my cup of tea I guess.
Good beer selections. Pricy though.

$ 3.99/lb for grapes? So a two pound bag of grapes is $ 8!!! Son of a banana peel. NO. Just no.

Love coming here to shop for groceries and the salad bar as well as their burrito bar! Good selection groceries and great food!

Everyone at this Whole Foods is super friendly and knowledgeable. The bakery always has a nice selection of desserts and their berry chantilly cake is a MUST try. This is the cake we get for our family and friends and they always ask us where we got it. And they will gladly write any message you want in a quick second! Two thumbs up :)

K. Love you guys. For real. Eat lunch here at least 2 times a week. But I just pulled a hair about 6in long out of my steamed broccoli that was IN MY MOUTH. EW! You guys need to pay attention to hair nets and stuff. A lot of your staff has long hair and no net. I’m repulsed.

Not one criticism for this place!!! Sooo helpful, makes our lives healthier, such a great selection — and a stop we make every couple of weeks!!! Love it!

We have never gotten great customer service here and granted most of the times we have visited were low customer volume times. Cashiers were always impatient and were not very welcoming. I don’t need you to bow down to me but seriously it seems like the employees don’t really want to be there and interact with customers.
I would rather take my business to New Seasons where everyone gives exceptional customer service.

Well stocked and some of the nicest staff in all the land!!! Seriously, the NICEST people ever. It does not matter how bad of a mood I am when I get there, people are always so nice and not in the fake way but you can tell they are genuinely happy to be there and happy to help you.
Plus, they get me. When the hard to find ice cream I loved was out, they made sure to put in additional orders just so I could stock up and never be without again! That’s love. :)

A good sized WF, and the guy who rang me up the other day was super helpful as he saw I had almost enough baby food to get a case deal so we figured out exactly how many more were needed and got the 10% :)

So I’ve had a Unilocal account for a while and my experience at whole foods yesterday has led me to writing my very first post. Unfortunately, it’s a negative one.
The reason I’m giving the market any stars at all is due to the kindness, patience, and what I believe was true remorse in response to my experience by the cashier and manager.
I have been a vegetarian for 6 years today… But yesterday I had my one and only hiccup due to mislabeling of the pre-​made broccoli salad. I was on my lunch break, I was starving, but I always take the time to triple check ingredients. Nothing on the list I couldn’t have, and after «contains:» it read nuts and eggs. There’s something about whole foods vegan and vegetarian selection that kept me from second guessing the smokey flavor until the 3^rd bite. That’s when I saw the bacon.
Due to the nature of the salad, multiple nutty and seedy ingredients in a salady-​sauce, the food items other than broccoli were stuck to the broccoli, allowing the bacon to go unnoticed. Needless to say, I returned the salad and the other items I had purchased. The cashier was patient with me as I sobbed and slipped out a few choice words at no one in particular. He called over the manager who then asked if there was anything they could do to remedy the situation. Any veg would understand that at this point there was nothing to do unless they could turn back time… But if Cher hasn’t figured that out by now I don’t believe anyone can.
Anyway, I don’t plan on going back due to my stubbornness. Of all the places to slip in bacon without a label… I was shocked. I wanted to share so all you kind folks with food restrictions, especially allergies, tread lightly when purchasing pre-​made snacks from whole food’s kitchen.

I have this ongoing lunch problem.
Today at 2, I thought ok. I’m going by Whole Foods. I will go in and get sushi or a salad or something.
Then I walked in and saw someone eating a burger.
I want that.
So, ten minutes later I was eating a burger messy with brie, grilled onions and mushrooms.
Ok and there were fries. I saw the nice lady plunge them in the deep fryer then season them in a bowl and toss them around.
Mine.
$ 8.49.
With a green iced tea. Golden.
Aaaaaah.
Lunch.
They don’t really have all their offerings advertised big, you gotta go in and scope it out. There’s a guy at the bar with a cold beer and a burger. Beer!
Lucky.
