Whole Foods Market

Whole Foods is my go-to store for healthy, fresh, and organic options. The meat and seafood sections are high quality and responsibly sourced, and the variety of organic and plant-based products is extensive. I appreciate their commitment to clean ingredients and sustainability.

Great location. Very convinience prices,vegetables and fruits good shape. Fresh and several options to choose from. Self check out easy and with amazon prime you'll get some offers and deal. Ok

Only one of its kind for several miles. Clean & good sales throughout. Nice floral section but unpriced so I didn’t buy (nobody at the floral area). Some of the hot bar stuff looked old so passed on that. Got a premade sandwich- most of that stuff looked really good. Just ran in for a quick lunch so was focused on these things.

1st time at this location. Traveled an hr. to get here just so I could buy some rhubarb. The layout of the produce dept was awesome. I actually used the scales available, and how nice it was that it showed me how much I was going to pay for the 2.41 lbs. I walked around and was impressed with the freshness of the meat and fish displays. There is so much to see, and I'm sure I missed something. Prices are high to me, but then again, if you want freshness, it's affordable. I'll be back with a cooler next time.

The best place, for finding very specific and high-quality, vegan/vegetarian food. From fresh produce, to packaged snacks, and spices/add-ons… this is the spot. Fresh baked goods, pizza (ingredients for homemade or takeout), and fresh flowers/vases, make this a one-stop shopping experience.

I can’t quite give it five stars. I’ve been to many Whole Foods across the country, and this one was definitely a little lacking. The produce section is always great. But the salad bar and hot bar didn’t have a lot of choices and most of the items were more than half empty.

Updated: ive been here twice in a month and both times the veggie pizza was amazing. They make the crust perfect. Also the Spinach feta pizza is amazing. Might be my new fave to the mushroom onion one Beautiful store- bagels were mostly gone at 830am or not ready. Not sure which one but it was Sunday. Bakery fund was delicious

I always love that I don't need to read an the ingredients here. I know that 95% of the ingredients are okay. And the selection of organics is great. I was a little disappointed in the hot bar though. Maybe it's just time of year but they replaced a lot of it with cans of soda and the space that was left was half empty.

Gainesville is moving on up! Back in my ol' college days, well, you'd never find such a shabby grocery store, much less a Whole Foods. The whole organic thing really hadn't caught on yet, at least in Florida. Sure, you had vegetarians, but it wasn't to the degrees we have now. Anyhow, stopped here on my way to Tallahassee. Had dinner there. They had many options, but admittedly it seemed they were missing in action. Thank goodness I waited a few minutes because honestly that chicken I had was juicy. It definitely hit the spot, especially as I got to sit down languidly and enjoy it with my companion. Definitely wish the one in Tallahassee looked like this one. Heck, this one even gives competition to some of the ones in South Florida. I was left quite impressed. Truly the only reason I'm docking a star is because I had to wait for food.

Purchased pizza by the slice as advertised 2 for $7.00. I will confess that I really didn't question my receipt 2@ 3.99. So this in on me. However, one pizza slice was Margaritaviile ?? and to my surprise there was a penny in the crust. For some reason, I don't think the penny was an ingredient for this pizza.

A spacious store. Great produce and meats. Whole Foods used to be trendy. Now it is a go to place for people desiring quality. This location in Gainesville is hassle free and well run. Great steaks!!

Two stars for today, though they have been trying my patience in general recently as a whole. For one, none of the staff seem to know where any of the merchandise is: you're better off searching the aisles yourself for things in my experience overall. However, the larger issue today was the worker who was supervising self-checkout. I actually prefer self-checkout: it's faster and at Publix, Target, and Enson Market it works fine. Not the case today at Whole Foods. The lady supervising first stopped me as I was weighing some cookies in a bag from the cookie bar. She cautioned me "are they really from the cookie bar?" Well, yes, they were. I had to assure her of that twice. Then I had four energy bars which would not scan, so I told her. She checked on them then announced she needed to consult a manager or someone. She went and got him and he said he couldn't let me buy them because they were not scanning. I told him I thought they were a new flavor, I'd not seen them here before but bought the same brand in other flavors before. He said still, he couldn't let me buy them. Nor could he enter them into the system. Let me tell you something (and yeah, I told him, too): at Publix they would either have entered the item in the system then and there or just given it to the customer. Yeah. Instead Whole Foods' key-holder seemed both powerless and confused. What does he actually manage, anyways? Making sure he doesn't put his left shoe on his right foot?! The original staffer steps back in after that and tells me my basket was touching the scale's edge and my parsnips I'd just weighed might be the wrong weight. Maybe she was truly trying to help, but I checked the price and it seemed right. Moreover, there's a lip around the scale on the self-checkout and it would be hard to trip the scale by accident. I think it self-tares when it enters weighing mode anyways. I suppose she was new and trying to do her job well but did come off as pushy and intrusive. The fact the manager could not let me buy the energy bars though was next level: no store should have items for sale which customers cannot purchase and when a glitch in the system is encountered, they need to remedy it on the spot. Publix and Target manage to do that each and every day. Maybe go home and watch some reruns of Star Trek, Mr. Manager, so you can learn how run your enterprise.

it's just your average Whole Foods. Some of the workers they are super friendly and some of them aren't. Did you run out of stuff sometimes but that's rare. They have delicious breads and their cheese is very fresh which I enjoy. Times are out of bakery items including croissants, or cookies, but that's also rare. I don't like their salad bar. It looks like the foods been sitting out for a long time, it probably has. Their salad bar or food bar runs out of food, but this is a college town so that's expected. It's just your run-of-the-mill average grocery store.

Most average WF I've ever visited! First off, the store did seem clean so I'll give them that. They don't offer the fresh made sandwiches like many of the other WF stores I visit. Also, the salad bar was practically empty. The quality of food looked old and wasn't fresh. I got sushi roll, side salad, and drink. Was really not impressed for the $28 I paid for the items. I'll definitely avoid coming to this location in the future :(

I wanted to try their salad while charging my car near by but the whole kitchen/cafeteria was closed due to covid so I only got some premade salad and a drink. Outdoor seatings are nice, overlook a small fountain. The salad was ok, not fresh, tasted bland and the chicken was super hard. Don't think I will eat there again.

OK. Can I tell you how awesome this Whole Foods is? I went on a Saturday and took my mom (it was her first time!). And they had several sampling stations from which to choose. I hit almost every one of them. The highlights of my trip were the free food samples (of course), the bulk foods section, their "food court" area and the multitude of healthy and organic brands from which to choose. Prices can be steep for a lot of their items, but they aren't dubbed "Whole Paycheck" for nothing. If you've got a little cash, I say splurge a little. Otherwise, go on the weekends when the free sampling is really good.

What a beautiful new grocery store! I haven't lived in a city with a Whole Foods since I was a kid so this was truly my first time getting to experience its wonders... and not have to ask my mom for permission to buy anything! Beautifully constructed, the building is a beautiful sight to see upon entry and the gator made from bread on display originally was awesome. Knowing better, I only skimmed the produce section knowing the prices were out of my range lol but I did want to be sure that I got a good glance at all of the items so I made sure to visit each aisle. Employees were helpful and the store was busy, but not as overly-packed as I feared. The hot bar covers different international cuisines and was so delicious! Whole Foods also has fresh pizza, sushi, wraps and more! You may also make an acái bowl, a cup of fresh juice or a cup of coffee! The self-serve Macaron Bar was MIA when I visited which sucked because I was beyond excited for some macaroons! Employees said they ran out and I understood and will be back to try again! I was certain that I'd be waiting in line for ever, not at all! As soon as I walked up to the lines, I saw that cashiers were quickly moving guests through and I didn't wait more than 1min to get checked out! I can't wait to go back!

This location is always super clean and the staff are friendly. The fresh product often lasts a while and they offer good sales on snacks. I love WF prepackaged salads and entrees and I feel this store is lacking in them. They basically only offer Caesar salad, some pasta salads and chicken nuggets. I would love to see more options here. Their hot bar has most of the options I've seen at other stores though!

As I travel around the country for my job, I always make point a to visit WFMs. Not all stores are alike. They differ in architecture and products too. For example, this WFM has a build your own açaí bowl station! Can we get this in San Ramon, California please! WFM Gainesville is a larger store with a huge whole body department. Clean store and friendly team members.

This was supposed to be a newer Whole Foods with new inventory. Not really. A significant number of shelves were left empty and unstocked. We bought some ready to eat foods and had to return a couple - the salmon salad was old and spoiled and I did not feel like getting sick. The ready to eat fruit was not so fresh and had to be returned as well. Not sure what the issues are - perhaps not enough volume of customers? I hope they do better in the future, because it is quite a beautiful store in terms of its infrastructure and exterior.

I like this Whole Foods location. The sushi section always has a great selection and the cheese section has great samples. This location also seems to have events once or twice a month. The alternative meat, cheese and milk selection is the largest I've ever seen. The prices are higher than Publix, but it's all organic/free trade so what do you expect?

Whole Foods is my new favorite place to do school work and study! I am writing this from the perspective of someone who goes in and only buys coffee and food, not groceries. Maybe one day I'll be that fancy. :) I live close to archer road, but my only coffee shop option for a WHILE has been Starbucks, which is unreasonably overcrowded. I'm talking, you can barely park, barely find a seat ever, and wait 20 minutes for a black iced coffee. Until now, I was stuck there because sometimes I just need the focus of leaving my house and getting in another setting. In comes ... WHOLE FOODS! Here's all the amazing things I have to say about Whole Foods- -BEAUTIFUL and open with great lighting. The ambiance is perfect. -Never overcrowded -5pm-7pm $2 craft beer. That's right. Whole foods has a happy hour. -Iced coffee for $2. It's out of a machine that grinds the beans then makes the coffee but it is GOOD. Seriously, I was impressed. -Outlets next to EVERY SINGLE TABLE. No more awkwardly going under a stranger's table around their legs to plug into an outlet. -Friendly staff. -Clean restrooms. -Plenty of parking. -All the food you could possibly want. I'M SOLD! I will never, ever study anywhere else on Archer.

Whole Foods is the best market overall but the Gainesville Whole Foods should definitely have one of their management go check out the Tampa Whole Foods. Number one the hot bar Gainesville hot bar sucks it's played same boring dry things every time. You would think with all of the students who have a lot of money, there is no shortage Oy teslas charging in the parking lot. That there would be a more diverse hot bar and salad bar. Tampa has much more diversity and New choices. The Tampa bakery is also 10 times better as far as selectionThey are definitely losing a ton of money on that one. Regardless that is comparing the best to The best. You can find a lot of the items for a lot less at Walmart and Publix but there are certain things that you can only get at Whole Foods.

Whole Foods had the opportunity to give good customer service and failed miserably. They could have given the Amazon Prime discount and because the request was 2 days over their 30 day policy decided policy over customer service was more important. I was in a shop recently where I was mistakenly undercharged and called to pay for the item not charged, they said "No worries, would I mind writing a review?" Of course I did, 3 places and it was a great place in Seattle that I will go to next time out, but I won't shop at Whole Foods again.

Poor quality food bar. Went there at 5pm. Food should be fresh. Food looked like it had been there since lunch. Dried out. No fruit, missing half the items on salad bar. Worst WF I have ever been in. Soup bar lacking choices. $7.00 for half a cup of soup. $8.00 for small box of salad greens. Won't be going back. Considering the time those foods have been setting out there you have to wonder how many people touched them. Go flu. Go Covid.

They are using so many aerosol cleaning products, it's impossible to breathe, especially masked. The products get stuck & pool inside the mask. This is going to harm people.

I love Whole Foods and have been obsessed with going here. I am from South Florida, so I have been to Whole Foods all over. Over the past three years. I've noticed a major change in Whole Foods by getting rid of the fresh smoothie and juice bar which makes me upset. However, on to this Whole Foods, I have gone to here in several occasions and finally feel comfortable with giving a review. I give it a 3 because it's not consistent. Items are not always stocked up. I went shopping and the waters seem to be low constantly and other items such as fruits/juices, chips, protein powder and bottled teas. The acai bowl is sometimes not working which makes me upset. It's always a gamble with whether it's working or no always toppings are sometimes not full. Let me say the good. One thing I can say that is consistent across all Whole Foods is the staff. Everyone is friendly and outgoing. The atmosphere feels the same no matter where I go, fresh fun and friendly. It doesn't even feel like you're at a grocery store but having an experience.

I am very surprised how different Whole Food Stores are around the state. What is not different is the very high prices. I went into the Gainseville store to buy some prepaid food for my son. He is so busy at school he does not take the time to cook good meals. Our local Whole Foods in West Palm Beach has cases of precooked foods. This location had very few. I did buy a few salads and $15 later had almost nothing to show. The place is nice but not worth the trip and prices.

Whole Foods Market in Gainesville, FL has great grocery and food options available. SERVICE (5/5): Extremely friendly and helpful service FOOD (4/5): A lot of options available from a hot-bar, deli, pizza station, build your own acai bowl, and more. SEATING/COFFEE (5/5): This is actually a great place to study! Come grab a freshly ground cup of coffee and enjoy indoor or outdoor seating.

Great Service Great Selection of Items The food on the bar is freshly prepared. I would recommend that anyone looking to have an awesome shopping experience shop here for your natural organic or vegan option items.

I am so happy we now have a Whole Foods in Gainesville. You know your city is going places when Whole Foods decides to add a location and I think we needed a store like this for a while. I do not do regular shopping at Whole Foods, but I do go for specific items that other grocery stores do not have and I go for the hot prepared food. On my most recent visit I came to grab a snack and use the wifi. When you use the wifi you get 2 hours of free wifi. I have never gone over the 2 hours but I would assume you could sign out and just sing back in, but I am not sure. The store is really nice and perfectly set up. When you walk into the store you are first at the produce area. They have everything from fresh flowers, to local fresh produce that is grown right here in North Central Florida. As you go back to the store you have the bulk section where you can get bulk items for pretty cheap. They also have different fresh butters you can buy like fresh peanut butter! It tastes really good. Then you hit the Sea Food area and being in Florida it is all fresh and local. You move over to the meat section and that area is really nice. They serve local beef from a local farmer right here in Florida which is awesome! After Meats you go to the grocery aisles and they have a cold area with different milks and yogurts. No matter if your a carnivore, vegetarian, or vegan they have something for you in this case. After the cold area you go to the cheese area. They have tons of cheese from all over the world! The cheese are amazing and you can get a whole wheel of cheese or just a little bit! Next to the Cheese they have the Wine which goes perfectly with cheese! Wines range in prices from cheap to really expensive! Then after that you are in my favorite area of the store the Hot Food Bar. You can get a tray and it is $8.99 per pound of food. They have a ton of hot foods ranging from fried or grilled chicken, fish, pastas, curry, Chinese, Asian, American and anything you can think of. They have soups galore and usually mac and cheese and hamburger mac and cheese. They have an amazing salad bar with tons of fresh options as well as prepared salads! Also at this location you can get Raman noodles, pizza, sandwiches, and many other hot items where they will make them fresh for you. The bakery here is amazing! Since they have been open I have had 3 different cakes from Whole Foods. I love all the cakes and they make them fresh. I had one cake with fruit inside and on top which was awesome. I had another cake with filling in the middle! You can't go wrong with the cakes here. I have also had the Pumpkin muffin with Creme cheese frosting which was to die for. Lastly I have had the cinnamon roll which was amazing as well. I am so happy we have this store in Gainesville and I think everyone needs to go check it out!!

Been here a few times and didn't think anything too good or bad. Some of the other 365 products and prime deals bring me in. Every once in a while it's pretty worthy. Last time I went in: The ramen is so-so and costs too much. My friend got pizza and it was cold and burnt. Then I went to get wine. Huge mistake. My Aunt owns a very upscale wine boutique so I am rather savvy but do not offer up this info on a normal basis. While looking for a bottle the wine manager kept trying to recommend unrelated wines and I kept politely suggesting I did not need his assistance. He was condescending, irritating and not knowledgeable. The bakery is out of this world. A brunette girl helped us get an amazing cake, may go back for another one. The produce is REALLY OVER PRICED. Holy molley I will never make Whole Foods Guacamole. Strawberries in season should not be $6 Cashiers were friendly.

I believe we have a winner; the food we ordered was very good and I really like the options WF has to offer throughout the store. The grocery and health and beauty selections and the deals seem to be endless. The samples of food that I received were absolutely delicious. I'm really looking forward to my next visit.

The store is clean, well organized and well stocked. I found a few items that I can't find at other big box stores such as Publix or Lucky's. Cotija cheese being an example. The produce selection is top notch, though I won't stop going to Trader Joe's for frozen foods or ice cream. I plan on trying the vegetarian ramen noodles with bubble tea on my next visit.

Really disappointed to find this location of Whole Foods to be just so-so. Overall the store is not as clean as what I'm used too. The employees are not as friendly either, and we had to tell to clean up a mess that was left on the conveyer belt by another customer's food. Also they don't enforce social distancing when customers are waiting in line. This store is a decent size but the aisles are crammed together, and are super short. Not to mention the super tiny meat section. Some items I've always gotten are not stocked at this location.

This Whole Foods is HUGE! The hot bar is very extensive and also has different cultural foods. There is a self made coffee bar and juice bar. They have a fresh pizza, deli, cheese, and bakery section as well. The price is okay, but as expected at a Whole Foods, I suppose. I did have the pleasure of interacting with the cashier, Maddie, who was extremely friendly and helpful. She single handily made my experience worth it. Hey also have an extensive study lounge/food court with an active bar open during select times.

I normally love Whole Foods. Always have, even if they're over priced a bit. But shop smart and watch sales. However, numerous occasions I've came and the stock was extremely low!! I'm talking no produce, the produce they had was going bad. I was very disappointed since they are newly open here In town. The salad bar is just okay, hot bar don't even bother. Pro- they give kids free produce vs cookies! They do carry a lot of hard to find items. Great lanai for drinks with friends. Amazon prime pick up lockers. Amazon discount on sale items and certain weekly items! Cons- stock always a tad low. No poke

Im disappointed with how this particular location is run. Ive visited on several occasions and its often crowded with staff standing around talking. The shelves are often understocked with groceries and fresh food.

I paid $300 for ready made thanksgiving dinner. Supposedly all I needed to do would be heat up a cooked meal. An instructional guide was added for each dish. 10 -15 min here and there and 30 for the precooked Turkey. Our Turkey was not cooked fully it was pink in the center even after raising the heat from 350 to 400 and heating an additional 25min. Hard uncooked green beans, bland red cabbage and peanuts with tofu was supposed to be Thai inspired but it was flavorless, raw butternut squash with hard dry purple potatoes, cranberry sauce was gooey like jelly that melted and they added flour to thicken it, and a pumpkin pie that was only 1/2 in thick for $15.00 whole meal was pitiful. Our pecan pie filling was runny and not formed. I guess the moral of the story is no matter how short you are on time you can make a much better meal yourself for far less. Who ever made these dishes hates working there and the food reflected their d STORE refunded this "meal" at least now I have something to be thankful for!

Clean facility and the employees are usually pretty happy but, got burned again. Grabbed 2 tuna sandwiches at $5 each. The way it's packed, it appeared like it had an adequate amount of tuna. Not happening. It had about a Tbs worth in each. It also had close to no flavor and maybe tasted the crunch of a couple pieces of celery. I'm guessing there was a profit margin of at least 500%. It's not hard to make a decent tuna sandwich. I got fooled again. Take some pride in your work and do the right thing.

Before moving to Gainesville, I lived in area that had a Whole Foods for two years. During that time, I came to rely on a number of items that were really only found at Whole Foods and that other retailers in Gainesville were lacking. So I was very excited to go to the shiny new Whole Foods on Archer Road. We walked in and everything looked very nice and modern. Immediately, we headed over to the bulk section, looking for the bulk spices. We scoured the bins on the wall and in the middle of the section and failed to see any spices. We then combed through the rest of the store, hoping to find the bulk spices, but no luck. We asked a sales associate where to find the bulk spices and he proudly took us over to the bulk section and then looked around it, quite perplexed. After doing the same once-over that we gave the section, he declared that this location must not carry them. This is beyond disappointing, as I found the bulk section to be shining gem of the Virginia Beach, VA Whole Foods and was looking forward to finally having one in Gainesville. I've now lived two years without a Whole Foods and unless they bring back the bulk spices, I foresee me continuing to live without it.

This is a shiny new grocery store that's aesthetically very nice. The selection of natural and organic packaged foods and personal care products is extensive and in my experience superior to that of any other supermarket in the area. Unfortunately, prices are quite high. In every case where I've compared Whole Foods' price for an item with that of a local competitor, Whole Foods has charged significantly more. So it generally only makes sense to buy something here if you can't find it anywhere else. That's sometimes the case, but not as often as you might think, since mainstream supermarkets increasingly carry a decent variety of healthy foods. One area where Whole Foods could differentiate itself is in its selection of ready to eat dishes served up by the pound at its buffet counters. However, I've found most of these to be average at best, and below the quality of restaurant fare that costs only a little more. I'm especially disappointed by the limited selection of high quality vegetarian options. For example, the baked goods are almost universally unhealthy, with even non-dessert foods such as muffins loaded with fat and sugar. In short, Whole Foods is a nice place to buy groceries, but only worth the trip if you're looking for niche products that can't be found elsewhere. The hot bar would be a decent option for a quick lunch or dinner, but only with some improvement in quality or pricing (at the current price, the food should be healthier and taste better).

I love Whole Foods! Yes it is expensive, but it's always nice to treat yourself every once and awhile. My favorite part about this Whole Foods is the ramen bar. I've become a huge fan of ramen and I can assure their spicy bowl is totally worth it! I've already been back twice to get it! If you're in the area definitely stop by and checkout what they have to offer! Cheers!

The first thing to hit me when entering this store was the OVER POWERING smell of fish. Not very smart to put the fish market in a direct line with the front doors. I went straight to the hand made soap; grab a bar and had it under my nose to help combat the strong fish smell. I went in search of the tea section which unfortunately by the fish market. I walked to the deli before the fish smell was gone. I just got my few items and left. In my opinion it's a whole lot of Pomp and Circumstances for nothing much.

Great place for lunch, usually get salad bar. Fresh and lots of different options to add in. Of course it's weighed then price calculated, so be careful how heavily you load up. Have tried pre-made chicken salad sandwich that was fine. I've really enjoyed the chicken ramen bowl, comes with chicken noodles and citrus stock. You can add boiled egg, more veggies, etc. Ramen isn't at every Whole Foods location, so take advantage, runs around $10 & up. Bought fresh pompano today, will have for dinner. Have tried some deserts that don't make the cut. Of course this store is great for Gainesville whether dining in and then shop for dinner. Every employee we've encountered has been friendly and helpful. Nice addition to Butler Town Center.

We decided to splurge on some treats from Whole Foods on Archer Rd in Gainesville, Fl. Totally disappointed with most of the items. Macadamia nuts tasted moldy. Both the organic broccoli and cauliflower were completely tasteless. The salmon fillet was full of pin bones. We will stick with Publix.

Super nice store, people are always friendly and helpful. We drive about 45 miles to get there but it's well worth it. I don't understand all the negative reviews this is one of Gainesville best grocery stores. The store is clean and the bathrooms are always well maintained. It might not be the cheapest and for the quality you get it well worth it. GREAT STORE!

I shop Whole Foods every time I am near. I have noticed a lot of changes the past 6 months, not for the better. They have cut way back on the fresh food/deli selections and service. The BIGGEST error was last week at the hit food bar. They were changing our pans of food and it was disgusting when they pulled the empty pan up. The water on the steam table smelled and looked like it has never been changed. There was very old food running down the insides of the steam table.... TOTAL TURN-OFF, COMPLETELY DISGUSTING AND UNAPPEALING! I left what I had prepared so far and paid for my groceries and left! I will not be shopping at this Whole Foods EVER again!

Have shopped here a few times with friends and family and have enjoyed the shopping. Today we were coming in to pick up our Thanksgiving order. There were a few items missing but so many people there worked to find the right items and assist us with our purchases that we walked out smiling. The employees were friendly and helpful even though they were pretty busy. A special shout out and thank you to Danny who went above and beyond to fix our order for us and was very gracious about everything from start to finish.

I went to Whole Foods the day before Thanksgiving, Nov. 21st, to get a pie. I like Whole Foods baked goods, but they are so expensive that I can't justify spending that kind of money on baked goods of all things. Unless it's a holiday. A little Thanksgiving treat for me. I had to get a couple other things and I didn't have time to make another stop. So, I sucked it up and got what I needed there. What I needed was milk and beef for stew. I grabbed a $5 gallon of milk and a package of cubed beef and a yummy pie. Then I went home and put everything into the fridge. I been planning on making the beef stew the night before Thanksgiving (I like to make something that is very much not a turkey dinner the night before, so you can alternate leftovers), but time got away from me. I put the beef in the freezer and ordered pizza. Fast forward to Nov. 26th. Turkey and pizza leftovers are gone and I have to make dinner. The beef had thawed overnight in the fridge. I go to unwrap it and it has turned. Somehow in the, maybe, 12 hours that it wasn't in my freezer, the $5.49/lb beef went bad. Fine. I'm not happy about it but I still have to make dinner. I decide to make the classic back up dinner, pancakes. Except when I go to pour the milk, it's clumpy. Which is not what you want in your milk. I check the date. Best By Nov. 30. I check the calendar. Nov. 26. I don't want to spend inordinate amounts of money for products that go bad before their dates. I seldom shop at Whole Foods partly because of how much it costs and partly because I don't believe what they believe (There are 7 billion hungry people in this world. GMO crops and food preservatives save countless lives). And now I will go from seldom to never. It's not worth the pie.

There are so many things here you can't get at a regular grocery store however because of that prices are kind of high. They have sales though and those prices are usually reasonable and then since I'm an Amazon member I get additional savings. I also always use my amazon card so I get 5% back.

My 2nd Time here. A staff; I don't remember his name was very helpful & friendly in bakery section. He handed my question with the professional manners which makes it different from other stores. Clean store and hardworking staff. Keep it up!

Just grossed out at the salad bar - witnessed a man repeatedly picking up salad leaves with bare hands ( to check textures I presume) then tossing BACK IN - DISGUSTING!!! The worst part was there was no one in the area for me to report it to! Whole Foods really should be monitoring their pre cooked self service food area - especially on a busy Saturday evening. It's obviously a case of BUYER BEWARE

In Florida I expect at minimum local citrus and green beans in the produce department but nope - California and Guatemala! Purchased local potato chips but that doesn't quite redeem Whole Foods for their purchasing very far away produce.

Do not do delivery order from this Whole Foods via Amazon Prime. Placed an order, received a cancelation 5 minutes after order was to be delivered. Said they could not access front door. Delivery was to an open court yard like apartment, with all doors accessible. Called the store, they can't help, need to call this number, called the number, they can't help, need to transfer you. That took over 15 minutes. The person transferred can't help, delivery driver won't answer. So, best they offer is cancel order and resend, but items are now not available. Okay I say, order comes, missing many items, need to get refund processed. Now have to chase down the refund. Alot of wasted time for something that is supposed to be a helpful convenience. And still have to go to another store for the missing items. Expected better from Whole Foods and Amazon, especially considering the prices.

This was our first time at Whole Foods and we only came in to purchase some meat. The guys in the meat department were very helpful. It was the cashier upfront that ruined the experience and we likely won't be back. The cashier refused to bag our item saying it was "too heavy" and then he "attempted" to hold our insulated bag while my boyfriend bagged but then let the bag collapse just as it was about to be bagged, leaving us hanging. He seemed upset with us and wouldn't make eye contact. I'm not sure what we did wrong. Was he mad that we were buying meat?
