Whole Foods Market

Ordered a gluten free sushi platter for Christmas Eve. They had to customize it to avoid gluten. Excellent customer service in the sushi bar. It was super fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!

I love Whole Foods Market! Always fresh and yummy! The staff at the bakery were incredible and friendly! I bought a vanilla sheet cake and chocolate sheet cake both with Happy Birthday wording on it. It was nice there were a lot of options for 100% beeswax candles. I asked a baker what kind of natural food coloring they use to make the purple color, and this is what the baker showed me. It was nice to see the actual bottle. So here it is! Thank you! While they were writing my custom Happy Birthday on the cake, I did some shopping. This Whole Foods is very clean and organized. Happy shopping!

Produce department has rotten produce on the salesfloor every time I visit. It is difficult to find good tomatoes, I have seen rotten potatoes, and they clearly do not rotate their avocados as I see the most ripe ones at the bottom of the pile. Whole Foods has a reputation to maintain and prices to justify and this store is not up to standards. They ought to be ashamed of themselves being a high-traffic store and this being what they have to offer their customers. The problems at the produce department need to be addressed ASAP.

This store is the finest in the area. They have a broad selection of fresh organic produce. Employees are always available to answer questions. If I can’t find a particular item in any part of the store, an employee will accompany me to find what I was looking for. They have a nice selection of seafood with employees always available to cut and package whatever I’m buying- including packaging my selection on ice, if I request it. The bakery has an extensive selection of fresh cakes and other treats, not to mention the freshly baked sour dough and multigrain breads delivered that morning from a local bakery. There are many things to love about this particular Whole Foods store. Obviously it is well managed and the employees are well trained.

I have a great time shopping here. I love the fancy cheese selections most of all…There’s a quirky young lady in charge over there who helps me find exciting new things nearly every time I come in. She is personable and knowledgeable and brightens my day! The seafood always looks good too and I love the prime member deals. Fresh produce, smiling employees, and quality ingredients lists. They’ve spoiled me to shopping anywhere else.

The honest truth is while Whole Foods used to be truly organic in the beginning, food Cooked there was close to excellent, and I remember being station in Crystal City DC it was very decent place to go and gets cooked meal, unfortunately not anymore since the passed on to Amazon’s owner the quality has declined tremendously but at this point the organic healthy food was already spread so customers don’t look into or question the products sale there. I shop most of the time in Chapel Hill, NC and you have to be careful with the quality of the food there bad oils are the culprit of most autoimmune problems in our society and Canola oil, sunflower oils are the main oils use in their food, Yes is cheaper but the food you buy is not! Produce is displayed until rots and just if you don’t know but once is a produce that is not organic cannot run elbows with those that are so you loose your organic factor prices do not get lost they stay the same or higher as it is everything to eat this days. You want healthier food go to the local farmers not the supermarket everything gets spray with ethylene to preserve them. Little do they know the more you spray the leaves the faster they will rot.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have a great experience at this store. To begin with, the parking lot is very limited and the spaces are extremely narrow. There’s only one entrance and exit, which adds to the congestion. Once inside, customers are funneled through a designated narrow entryway, which feels inconvenient and unwelcoming. The selection of groceries and fresh produce is similar to other supermarkets of the same type, but prices are roughly 10% higher across the board. I checked the meat and seafood section — although the items were supposedly packaged the same day, the meat looked dry and shriveled due to inadequate refrigeration or lack of ice. Organic vegetables were displayed in a natural, rustic way, but their quality wasn’t noticeably better than those at other stores. The in-store bakery section is quite small. While browsing, I accidentally bumped into a lady who was squatting down in a tight spot — the layout just feels too cramped. I picked up a box of chocolate cake, which turned out to be overly sweet. I also bought a rotisserie chicken, which was a few dollars more expensive than elsewhere. Despite the “natural” seasoning, the skin was clearly burnt and left a bitter aftertaste. On a positive note, there is a row of dining tables near the exit, which is a thoughtful touch. However, I didn’t see any restrooms — or even a sign indicating where one might be. Overall, I don’t see myself returning. There’s nothing particularly competitive or unique about this store to justify the higher prices and less-than-ideal shopping experience.

Overall, this WF has a great selection. Only knocked one star off because they are frequently out of Homestead Creamery milk which I need weekly for making yogurt. The ultra-pasteurized milks just won't work so if they are out which is often, I have to make a separate trip to the Durham Co-Op Market.

Expensive central- I came here specifically for a birthday cake and I never usually come here to shop on a regular basis just because it's so extremely expensive. I was shocked to see that the smallest size of birthday cake was like $25 which is what I ended up getting. I have to say it was good but I don't know if it was worth $25. When someone says chocolate flourless cake I think of something extremely fudgy and rich. Not some cake with 50% mousse. Was disappointed. I also ended up getting some food from the hot bar and the plate I put together was $20. The food was decent, but nothing that you couldn't get easily from a Chinese restaurant in the same quantity for $12. The service was decent but no different from any other grocery store. Unless it's a special occasion, I probably will not be going back because WOW.

My girl & I usually come here to buy Griffs coffee toffee and/or pick up packages from the Amazon pick-up counter. I noticed a lot of the foods here are overpriced. A HU dark chocolate bar that only cost $3+ in Walmart cost $5+ here. As expected from any Whole Foods, there's a lot of brands here you won't find in most other grocery stores. I bought some cheese straws here before; but I haven't seen any available in recent months. I liked how Amazon is able to deliver items from Whole Foods directly. That was pretty convenient. There's a nice dine-in area with a good amount of seats, and the food selection prepared by chefs looks pretty diverse. The last time we checked, I think it was around $17 per pound. My girl tried one of the dishes once - It was alright but seemed overpriced. This Whole Foods also serve ramen in the back so might try that out soon. We'd rather eat in the nearby Wegmans though. Parking here can be very limited but never had trouble recently.

I visited this location to bring an Amazon return. The kiosk was right at the front door and the drop off was so easy. A nice person took my return or I had the option of scanning and placing in a bag with the printed label. Thanks WFs for making this so simple and easy to return.

The college town Whole Foods is in a stretch with various specialty grocers around. I wasn't convinced it was the best of them, but the selection was robust enough for me to pick up some cool items I hadn't seen before and a bit of fresh-looking produce. You certainly won't find a better oat milk selection. I did not experience any difficulty finding a self-checkout lane, though during the actual shopping experience the aisles were often crowded.

Pulled up to Whole Foods at 2pm, and the parking lot was a nightmare. Good products, but the wait? Not worth it. They forgot my reusable bags, and when I asked the cashier, they just looked confused. Come on, Whole Foods, really?

The most uninterest place in town for breakfast. First the hot bar had no bacon. Already a disappointment but it goes on. The turkey sausage was nearly tasteless. Try to cut the patty with the plastic knife provided! Salt and pepper are sealed away in paper packets that don't cooperate to deliver contents. They are a shell of their former hot food venue. Now the price: two plates and two coffees $25+. I can go literally around the corner and get for the same price a hot breakfast on plates with metal silverware served to me. Why would anyone subject themselves to this? I check in every now and then to see if there are any changes for the better. Nor so far!

My favorite spot at Whole Foods it's the Café sweet girl she's so good at making the smoothies. She always gives me these beautiful smile so polite!!

$2000 bananas? I parked in the "15 minute" parking spot to the right of the entrance and cracked my front bumper as there is a dip right in pavement right before the cement block you are supposed to pull up to as you pull in so you can't help but smash your bumper on it. Shoppers be aware.

What else is there to say about Whole Foods at this point? This is one of the first Whole Foods in the area and has been around since we moved here over 20 years ago. You know you'll get a good selection of produce, meats, cheeses, breads and more but will pay a higher price for it. This location is clean and has a good cafe. We had a coupon for a particular product that we weren't able to find at the Durham location. I actually prefer the farmers market and other grocery stores but will stop here if I need something that only they carry.

Skip thid place and got to Wegman's down the road. It's becoming more like an Amazon marketplace every time I come in (which is rare because I far prefer my local co-op for food shopping). Used to love the breakfast bar here but that is now just a sad half-assed attempt. Don't pretend to be anything you're not, Whole Foods. You're now just a high-priced sham. Hit Wegmans if you want a decent breakfast.

Poor Holiday Catering Service. Beware. I have had a decades long shopping relationship with Whole Foods and been generally pleased with the service. That is until today. I ordered food for Thanksgiving through its new Holiday Catering Service and it was prepared 1 week early and I was told I needed to pick it up. There was confusion about the order. The manager supposed to call me back regarding this problem and never did.

Anytime I am at work and have extra time on my lunch I head over here for some healthy lunch. I enjoy their hot and ready bar. They have a lot of option for everyone. Meat eaters, veggie eaters and those who don't eat gluten. It's located in a shopping center so there is plenty of parking. Occasionally I'll grabbed groceries from here. We enjoy their pre cooked meals! Make life a little easier when you just have to warm up a meal and serve it! Service is great!

This is my favorite Whole Foods in the triangle area! Their prepared foods are second to none. Ramen bar, Chipotle-style taco bar, sushi bar, dim sum bar, panini bar and more. I'd never been to a Whole Foods with all of these stations! This particular visit I ordered a dynamite sandwich which I customized from a menu offering with the help of an employee. It was a roast beef panini but her suggestions for different toppings and gridding it at the end -- wow! I'm a pretty indecisive orderer but all of the employees were so helpful in helping me to choose just what I wanted (which was everything!). The steam buns were awesome. A bit smaller than I expected but perfect tasty two-biters. Next time i'll definitely try the ramen. Looked pretty authentic as far as I could tell.

Kudos to Whole Foods for being a leader during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whole Foods and Costco were the first big brand name stores to really take the health and safety of their employees and customers seriously when the pandemic first started taking hold in America. My wife and I, who are very cautious when it comes to the pandemic, really appreciate the safety measures that Whole Foods implemented so effectively and so quickly. Unlike other stores, we feel quite safe when shopping at Whole Foods. Because of how well Whole Foods reacted to the pandemic, Whole Foods became our primary grocery store at our home in Atlanta. We were already fans to begin with, but their reaction to the public health crisis solidified it. When we moved to Chapel Hill in the middle of the pandemic, of course we sought out this Whole Foods; it's the closest to our new home in Chapel Hill. The Triangle has six locations to choose from: this one in Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, North Raleigh, Cary, and West Cary. Unlike Atlanta, where we switched from Publix to Whole Foods due to safety concerns, in Chapel Hill, we feel pretty safe at the nearby Harris Teeter, so I'm not sure this Whole Foods will become our primary grocery store when we're in Chapel Hill. We're still settling into the area so we'll see. In general - and we've experienced it here at this location specifically - Whole Foods customers are great about wearing masks and socially distancing. Along with social distancing markers on the floor and plexiglass installed to protect cashiers at checkout, both of which have become more commonplace across the country now (Whole Foods was among the first big retailers to implement things like this), the self-serve food bars, in-store restaurant counters, and dine-in tables smartly remain closed. Self-serve items like cookies are now packaged differently so you can't just open a display case and grab individual cookies like you used to. It's a sad, but necessary measure. Something that's nice about Whole Foods, including this store in particular, is they currently have a special shopping hour, 7-8am, every Wednesday and Friday, just for customers who are over the age of 60, high risk, or have disabilities. The produce item we've become the biggest fan of during the pandemic is Sumo Citrus (a.k.a. dekopon). It's a type of mandarin orange and it's incredible. Everytime we buy it, the taste and quality is consistently perfect. It's ideally ripe, sweet, and juicy. Never too sour nor dry and flawless texture. Also, the skin peels off incredibly easily. To me, Whole Foods' Sumo Citrus is an exemplary fruit. Unsurprisingly, it's expensive, but you get what you pay for: superb quality. Several times each week during the pandemic, my wife has made smoothies, with our Vitamix, utilizing an assortment of fruits and vegetables from Whole Foods. They're super healthy, refreshing, and delicious. We also love Whole Foods cookies. They're clutch and are great for bringing to gatherings. Last week, my wife visited to stock our fridge up on produce. One of the things she happened to look for was lemon pepper chicken. It's one of our favorites from the Whole Foods we go to in Atlanta. Unfortunately, this store didn't have any. However, an employee noticed her looking and asked her if she was looking for anything in particular. She asked him if this location did any of the pre-marinated chicken wings, legs, thighs, etc. and he said that sometimes they do. She told him how much we love the lemon pepper chicken they have and he made her some on the spot. He grabbed some dry rub and asked her if that's the one she'd like, then he asked her how many pounds of chicken she'd like and she pointed at the thighs and got about two pounds. He weighed the thighs first and then tossed them in a bucket and mixed in the lemon pepper dry rub. He then packaged the chicken in Whole Foods wrapping paper. Very nice of him. I wish we had his name so I could mention him in this review. Other recent items we got from this location included salad, tomatoes, zucchini, cherries, watermelon, Larabars, pumpkin cream cheese muffins, and Waterloo in peach flavor which we just learned, I believe, is a flavor that is exclusive to Whole Foods. This Whole Foods is located in Village Plaza towards the northeast side of town. It's a cute and quaint Whole Foods. It looks smaller and older than the newer, more modern looking stores that have opened in recent years. The first Yelp review for this location was posted in 2007 so it looks like it's been around for at least that long. The style is definitely different - more of a "small town," country feel to it - from the urban Whole Foods we're used to coming from Atlanta, where the company's South Region office is based. This store will become a regular spot in our rotation during our time in Chapel Hill over the next four years.

I've been here several times when visiting Chapel Hill. Each time I've felt like I'm being watched and possibly followed. I'm a black male, and I shop alone. Last night things reached a boiling point, when the same male employee (I've noticed during multiple visits), just kept popping up around me. When I saw him near me during self-checkout, I had enough. I went back and returned my purchase, and told staff exactly why I didn't even want the purchase anymore. I looked at past Google reviews, and I saw a couple other black people complaining of profiling, especially at self-checkout. Well, this makes a third! I'm done with this store. I can get whatever I want online, or elsewhere. I hope this review helps any other people feeling profiled at this location, know they're not crazy or alone. I don't plan on returning. Oh, and the hot bar is nasty and dried up...

I was intrigued by the breakfast bar...After further investigation, I found that they were serving turkey bacon. So I immediately left the establishment. 1 Star R.F. Swanson

I love Whole Foods, but I'm choosy what I buy there because it's to expensive to do all my grocery shopping. I always consider it a treat to shop here, so many delicious foods. Today before going to work I went to the deli to buy my lunch for work. I purchased the shrimp mango salad which looked absolutely delicious. I couldn't wait to taste it. I just literally took a bite and spit it out. The shrimp is mushy and all ingredients are clumped together. Awful, I'm so disappointed,

I normally wouldn't review a grocery store but something happened yesterday that blew me away. For some reason I thought I had plenty of Chanukah candles in my holiday storage box. Thursday night I discovered that I was mistaken so yesterday I called around to a few local stores to see if anybody had any left in stock. Unfortunately, every store I called was sold out. As I was trying to figure out how I could modify Shabbat or birthday candles to use in the menorah, my phone rang. It was a Whole Foods employee named Morgan who heard that someone was looking for Chanukah candles. She said that she had an extra box at home and offered to bring them to work today and I could meet her at the store and pick them up. Wow! Like I said, I was blown away by the kindness and compassion of this woman who went out of her way to help me. My husband and I ended up using mini "tea light" candles configured on a board, just for the sake of doing something a little different amidst the weirdness of 2020. This year we're celebrating by ourselves, but Morgan's spirit of generosity and thoughtfulness helped to bring some much needed joy to our holiday.

One of the best Whole Foods that I have ever been to. I like to go here during the quiet hours in the evening. It can be busy here during the lunch hours so I would avoid it. This particular Whole Food is one of the few that has a burger bar. If you haven't tried the burgers. please do so! You won't be disappointed. My favorite burger is the cauliflower korella burger. Also, get a side of the sweet potato tots. The customer service is always positive. Fantastic atmosphere with class!

Weak plant based hot bar section and "grab and go". Extremely disappointing to come into a "whole foods" (certainly when hungry) and have an abundance of unhealthy animal byproducts readily available for consumption with nothing healthy (aside from salad) in sight.

Whole Foods has lost its cache. What used to be a place to find interesting and sometimes unusual options has declined. Now, it's the same stuff as other premium markets just overpriced. I recently purchased what I thought was London broil. It wasn't even sliced properly, across the grain, and smelled as if it had been cooked on the same grill as the salmon. Yuk,!

The food bar has gone significantly downhill. The whole store has! There are limited offerings and the quality of the food is low except possible for Genji. I'm not sure who runs the store but this is basically a ghost of its former glory.

The staff here is outstanding. I need assistance during the time I had a broken leg. Every single time I came to visit the staff would not only select my groceries for me they would ALSO carry them to my car! Other Whole Foods I had asked for assistance during the time I had a broken limb the workers said "theres no one who can help".

I love going to Whole Foods and ordering their vegan cake. We've had consistently a fantastic experience with the exception of this time. For my daughter's baptism cake. I'm so disappointed because I ordered a 1/4 sheet vegan cake with an upcharge for decorations There was a giant crack In the middle AND they neglected to cross the t in Katherine I'm very displeased and disappointed

Apparently Orange County doesn't have health inspectors or they've somehow managed to miss the prepared foods here. So nasty. I've learned not to come here when hungry. Or you'll be disappointed by the selection that is either wipes out or super old and crusty.

Great store, terrible parking lot. When I came out my car was blocked by a huge delivery truck for a nearby store. It's one thing for a UPS truck or food delivery to block people for a minute to drop off a package - it's another to unload an 18 wheeler. Took at least 10 minutes to get out. Not necessarily Whole Foods fault, but they choose where to lease - hope they will ask the landlord to enforce tenants following the rules that allow a parking lot to operate.

Hot bar and salad bar prices went up and the quality still blows! Check out the wilted lettuce and people who walk around eating from the salad bar with sample cups. The store does nothing about it and it's a heath code violation.. GROSS. This store is a necessary evil for me. They have some great employees but i think the GM is a raging asshole. Probably why they can't keep the good people long term. Please come back Earth Fare .. Whole foods rips you on price and sacrifices quality.

This is the best Whole Foods I've ever been to. Not only do they keep it very clean and have an amazingly friendly staff but this location is now catered towards more of a dining experience than just going there for solely a grocery store. They have a self serve pizza bar that saves a lot of time compared to other stores. A sushi bar where you can get quinoa sushi instead of rice and my favorite addition is the new burger bar that also has beer and coffee at it as well. The burger bar not only has the best quality meats but also has a cauliflower burger there that is to die-for. You can pick your protein, your style and your topping. I go there just to eat at the burger bar there now because it's just that good! I'm not even a vegetarian but my favorite is the cauliflower burger. Not to say, the other burgers aren't melt-in-your-mouth amazing as well!

Beware of all the other 1 star reviews. Had an old ID in my wallet and when I handed it to the cashier (older woman with curly grey hair) for age verification, she took it upon herself to express her disapproval of me not throwing away my old ID and began interrogating me about my driving habits. MA'AM AM I BEING DETAINED?!! Jesus Christ just tell me it won't work! What is this a goddamn citizens arrest? Well miss, you saved the city and lost a customer. Good to know Whole Foods got rid of decency as a basic requirement for their employees and allows this woman's SJW mentality to ruin customer relationships. Abhorrent behavior.

Why is the food here so. Good. And so. expensive. The Whole Foods prepared food section here is legit with so many options! Great place for indecisive people. I would not recommended coming here hangry bc you will spend way more money than you anticipated. Ramen- excellent for a hot meal. I got the spicy miso. Great portion. Pricey at $11 but really hit the spot. Tacos - great portion and reasonably priced for their average. Would def get again. Salad bar- good options. Probably the most over priced of our options. Dunk & Slide has some tasty sliders and excellent tater tots. They also have beer and other alcohol! Haven't had their brunch menu yet but is on my list. Overall--on the pricey end but big picture worth it. Great variety good quality.

I had planned to purchase our wedding cake from Wholefoods, had long phone conversations about it with the staff in mid-October and was told we should call back two weeks before the wedding to place our order. We just called and they said they are no longer able to bake specialty orders! Going to look elsewhere, and hope I can find a last minute solution.

The Hot Bar: Truly unremarkable foods to start and then they dry out completely and end up uneatable. A remarkably uninspired selection prepared carelessly. Whoever has chosen this array of foods has not taken into consideration the shelf life at a steam heated table---foods dry out very quickly, toughen and end up being, very quickly, a terrible waste of food. After a few bites I got my money back. But what a waste of effort by the untrained cooks and uninformed preparers.

This place needs help. They get a negative ten stars for lack of cleanliness and an 11 stars for the black guy at the customer service desk tonight. The cold food bar guy was sweeping. When we walked up - instead of putting his hands under some running water with soap - he grabs some gloves and holds them all crumpled up while he put them on, thus getting broom germs on the formerly sterile gloves. That, my friends, is a food code violation, or at least in states west of the Mississippi it is. I was watching, holding my breath with a rapidly beating heart wondering if I was going to walk away or ask him to wash his hands. I internally and single- mindedly voted to do neither. So to top it off the guy (Nice enough fellow) grabbed his jeans with his freshly put on gloves and gave them a nice n hearty hoist! I fell out. No, really I didn't. But I left that salmon on a shelf nearby. We have enough E.coli floating around in this world without overcharging me $25 for a mouthful. That's just plain gross and to top it off the store is covered with GMO products. Where is the standard for excellence? Ohhhh. They're reflected in the price tag on every item up in that B.

This review is only for Genji ramen bar in the food court. I came here after groceries shopping in Trader's Joe's just to try the new ramen place. Unfortunately, they don't have chicken broth. I don't eat pork, so I ordered the veggie ramen with the spicy sauce. If this bowl comes from a ramen restaurant, I would probably give it 1-2 stars. But considering it's a ramen bar inside of a groceries store, well...that change my perspective completely! For groceries food standard, it's absolutely above average! The veggie ramen includes black mushroom, bean sprout, scallion, red ginger, and half seasoned egg. The seasoned egg is surprisingly really good! Restaurant level! Even better than the seasoned egg in ramen restaurant in downtown Durham. I recommend you add additional egg, if you don't really care about cholesterol. The veggies are extra fresh, I can imagine they grab it from the shelves in the store! Overall it's a solid $8.99 that fulfill my ramen craving!

Not really the most organized Whole Foods. There were a lot of people working so it was harder to navigate. The cashier was really pushy even after I said no to amazon prime. It was clean but definitely won't be coming back.

I also wanted to write (in hopes someone at WFM will read this) thank you for putting some organic food in your cold/hot bars. Obviously many people come to Whole Foods specifically for the organic food, and it makes sense to include it in the hot and cold bars. I saw organic squash and zucchini, which makes sense since we eat the skins of those vegetables (unlike avocados or bananas). So I hope WFM keeps identifying which foods are most effective to have organic (both cost-wise and health/environment-wise) and keeps offering them outside the produce section. Thank you!

Once upon a time, it was Wellspring. I called it Wellspring for a long time after it got bought out. But now, it's most definitely a (giant) Whole Foods. It gets a full 5 stars for being the best Whole Foods out there. I could say it's for the way they do their Vegan Chicken Salad or the Espresso Chocolate Chip cookies...and that no other WF in the NYC area or northern or southern California could match them...but that would be a silly way to judge them, even if it's true. They've done a lot to make this store more likable. They expanded the isles, gave me cute euro-carts, kept the bulk spices section when other larger stores have eliminated it, made (what should be) an award winning parking lot design. And the best, competitive prices on veggies; they're like a dollar or two cheaper than HT/Kroger for certain items. Yes, it's expensive. No, it's not as local as Weaver Street. But it's a good store.

3 stars because of the variety and choices, but the customer service is severely lacking. This is the worst Whole Foods I've been in, and it's due to the staff's attitudes and disgusting bathroom. Get it together people.

10:22 AM (Forgot to check in) You just know that you're in a liberal part of town when 10 primo parking spaces directly in front of the entrance are dedicated to expectant mothers. But with all of the rough experiences that I've had at various Whole Foods locations over the years, something like that seems to be par for the course. This particular location smells awful! The entire market is permeated with the pleasant aroma of burning tire and rotting cilantro. I almost vomited in my mouth. Further exasperating the experience were screaming children that constantly bolted all over the place faster than chickens attempting to escape a slaughter house. You'd think that all of this would dissuade the people that shop here from having like 7 kids, but I guess not since the expectant mothers section in the parking lot was filled to capacity. Moving on. This is a pretty large store; much larger than the far superior Fresh Market that is located on the 54. The products in the aisles are arranged well enough, which made finding what I needed easy. The store also had a pretty large hot food section with a salad bar. Both of which looked absolutely revolting I might add. I'd have to be extremely desperate to even imagine getting a box of cold, soggy food on display there. The largest problem I have is of course the outrageously expensive prices. $85 for kale, cabbage, apple juice, 5 sausages, apples, fresh fruit, and sparkling water is ridiculous. I could get similar products at the Harris Teeter for half of this price. In conclusion, there are much better deals to be had in the Chapel Hill area for nearly identical products, and because of this, I can only give this Whole Foods 2 stars out of 5.

Would love it if we had this Whole Foods back home. Many trips here over the years have been very satisfying. The freshest, tastiest fruit and healthy prepared and perishable selections. I need to give their new breakfast, lunch and dinner to order menu a try real soon.

One of my favorite shopping places for healthy options too much good stuff to outline the bad but I really enjoy coming here. Filled with great friendly staff and knowledgeable too! Would love to see a rewards program but it's growing and it's noticable.

There is 'Whole Foods,' and then there is 'Whole Foods-Chapel Hill.' This place is monstrous; a warehouse-sized mecca to the clean food movement. A one-stop high-end garden center florist farmer's market bath & body deli sushi tex mex pizzeria eatery grocer's. Stopped by to pick up some necessities and my mother, daughter, and I were all able to choose what we wanted for lunch, roll up our shopping cart next to a booth and eat comfortably in the restaurant area.

I've been a fan of Whole Foods for a while. I've been traveling to Raleigh for work every week for the past few months for work and love the Whole Foods hot bar for dinner. There's always a huge assortment of salad options, some prepared pasta salads, and plenty of hot food options ranging from Ethiopian Chicken to Indian food. I haven't tried much out of the salad, various types of tofu, and a few prepared salads - which have all been great! I also sometimes indulge in the trail mix bar for my team to enjoy during the week. They've got an assortment of energy chia blocks, almonds, peanuts, sesame sticks, and much more! Timing: You should get your hot food before 8pm to avoid getting cold "hot" foods since they've been sitting out for a while. Price: Whole Foods can be a little pricey if you keep piling on heavy foods. They price your meal by weight so be conscious of that as you see something you want around every corner of the food bar.

I've been getting the smoked mozzarella pasta salad for years. I was really disappointed that my portion I had delivered had no mozzarella, no greens, and one small piece of red pepper. It was basically penne in mayonnaise. I'm just gonna throw it out. Bummer.

Making Whole Foods more of a dining destination as of late, things have been a bit hit and miss. As far as the hot and cold bar goes the selection is second to none. The Korilla style cauliflower burger they serve at their new dunk and slide bar is fantastic topped with kimchee. Most of the Indian food I selected on this latest trip was all yummy minus the changes they made to their once delicious veggie samosas. My husband tried their new Ramen station out and went with the Spicy Miso. It was very meh, but I guess that's what you get from a grocery store. While some of the items aren't gourmet, I still enjoy their selection with them offering some of the best vegetarian options in the area. If you're willing to pay their above average prices and looking for a healthy meal you should check them out for lunch or a casual dinner.

Loved this location. I stopped here after browsing nearby 'A Southern Season' and was able to pick up many of my favorites and find a few few new ones. They carried every flavor of kind bars, like! I thought the hot/cold bars were more stocked than other locations in the area as well. Be prepared it is generally busy and the parking lot is always full.

I can't help walking into this place without comparing it to Weaver Street Market, the other organic/healthy market in the area, and Whole Foods just doesn't stack up. Their selection of things, and their quality, are very credible. I was particularly impressed by the extent of their butchery (meat market?). It's huge and well-stocked, which is great for carnivores like me. Unfortunately, their prices are sky high, so much so that they have a well-deserved reputation for sucking your wallet dry. Also, they lack Weaver Street's community feel and auxiliary features (e.g. musicians on the doorstep). Really the only reason you should shop here is if you can't get to Weaver Street for some reason. Believe me, the gas money will make up for itself.

I feel like a traitor for saying this, but the WF in Chapel hill is better than the WF in Durham. At least selection-wise, it's hard to beat. The hot bar, salad bar, and pastries are all really good. I love that you can mix food from the hot bar and salad bar together because it costs the same. I tried the prepackaged sushi and it was nothing special, maybe slightly better than your average grocery store sushi. I also tried the salmon/avocado/chimichurri handroll and I think it's great quality but a little too pricey. I also tried the pork dumplings in the refrigerator section and was really impressed. Even the sauce was good. I didn't realize I was supposed to microwave them first because I read the label too late, oh well. I will be back to try other things soon.
