Whole Foods is Wholesome

by N R. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 1,068

I really like this place because they don't sell anything with preservatives, partially hydrogenated oils, or other bad quality ingredients. So you know you're getting wholesome healthy food. Because of this, you do pay a premium but I think it's worthwhile.They have a good seafood deli, and I've purchased fish (cod, halibut, snapper, tuna, salmon, catfish)from them on several occasions with great results. They always have suggestions on how to prepare and serve.As a hint, some of the boxed items are cheaper if you get them in the bulk foods aisle.I have noticed that they do mischarge me for at least one produce item which I find annoying because their produce can be expensive. And my other pet peeve is that for a store that promotes sustainability, etc. I often see them carrying produce that isn't in season.

Great Store, Bad Parking

by H R. | insider Insider | Rank: 27,035

Our family loves this store. The selection of organics is great and the staff is helpful. We also enjoy the variety of healthy take-out alternatives. Our one complaint is with the parking lot. It's not designed very well, and it takes a while to get in and out.

Food to Go

by Saloua A. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 2,297

The main reason I shop at Whole Foods is for the ready made food. I LOVE their soups. My favorites are the tomato, potatoe + leek, and all the salmon "stews". They also have great pizza (with unbelievable crust), and sandwiches. I love their tuna sandwiches the best. As for grocery type foods, I don't usually come here to do that sort of shopping. If you're on your lunch break, and you work near Whole Foods, I recommend coming here and grabbing a quick (but fulfilling) bite to eat. I promise you, if you take my word for it, you won't regret it!

Awesome

by Sandy H. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 477

Everytime I am in the area, I always have to stop by Whole Food and sample all of the products that they have. They have an excellent selection of organic fruits and vegetable. The sales people are always helpful and they steer you towards alot of great food. Its wonderful. the store is always well kept and very clean. Lines are not too long because the cahsiers are great. A bit on the pricy side but its well worth it.

GREAT FOOD!

by Melissa D. | insider Insider | Rank: 14,188

Whole Foods has the greatest selection of fruits, veggies, cheeses, meats, and organic foods. They have friendly staff members who are ALWAYS encouraging you to sample their great foods. Their prices may seem high, but compared to other organic stores they have great prices.

Great quality supermarket

by Aniaf F. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 3,011

I buy all of our organic produce and groceries there. The store offers good quality food but at higher prices. Their sales are good. Their generics are also low priced and still of a decent quality

PROS: good quality
CONS: high prices
