Whole Foods Market

They are great. The staff is very helpful and the store is clean, as well as the seating area. The products are a bit pricey, but worth it because of the quality. There was an issue with our cake order that was not prepared, but in a few minutes they were able to offer a solution. Everyone was very helpful and gave updates on the situation quickly and regularly. Thanks again! As usual those cakes were great, and the whole party loved them. You can taste the fruits, the cream isn't too much, the overall goes well together and is not too sweet.

I like the store and go there often. This 1-star review is just about their Amazon Fresh delivery service, which is not so fresh at all. I ordered some produce AND THE EXPIRATION DATE WAS NEXT DAY IN MOST OF THEM. (Today is Jan 4 and products will expire tomorrow). They clearly hand picked the products closest to the expiration date to send me, despite the (very) high fee and the promise of freshness. Not good.

Pizza counter doesn’t work properly at all. Few days ago been standing in line from 6:49pm to order pizza, but unfortunately line was too slow and somehow they don’t take orders after 7pm (it was 7:02pm). Today at 7:33 pm lady was throwing almost whole pies just because it’s time for her to leave or I don’t know any other reason to do that to the absolutely good products that somebody can buy for the good few hours. That lady was clearly irritated and a little aggressive that I wanted to buy few pieces and wasted her time and she couldn’t throw everything away asap, although she managed to throw away all the other pies while I was putting my piece into the box.

Update on January 6th, 2025. There was a time when Whole Foods was a great store before Amazon owned it. Just returned from vacation and went to get some groceries. There was nothing on the shelves. This doesn’t happen at Trader Joe’s. They prepare before the store opens. It was so frustrating to shop there on a Monday morning, note to self not to do it again and to get to Trader Joe’s instead. When I asked for help locating some produce, the employee told me he didn’t know if they had any that he just got there and continued loading his lettuce, not interested in helping at all. He said there’s nothing on the shelves because yesterday was Sunday and busy! Really? #TraderJoe’s please come to Jersey City! No fresh pizza dough! Sold out by 3:00. In the past in NY and CA, the pizza chef is happy to share the dough. Not here. Nothing in frozen either except cauliflower and almond crust. Only whole wheat in the bread section and nothing in front end. Now that owned by Amazon, service is down and unhelpful. #traderjoes we need you! Please come to Jersey city! Update: On Sunday June 8 and Monday June 9 there was so many bear shelves once again. Heard on the news that this was due to a cyber security attack on a distributor. No signs warning shoppers except on empty shelves. Have not heard a peep from Whole Foods. Update Oct 6, Need to ask food health services to check this WF out. Yesterday all the lettuce was brown. It seems others before me had also been searching for fresh lettuce as they were strewn all over the place. Awhile back all the ice cream was half price because it was so soft. Such a disappointment. See the bags of brown lettuce below .

Great place to shop with validated parking for 90 min when you spend $10. 5 min walk from Grove Path. Plenty of 365 products that are affordable and great quality. Check out the meat department for that old style butcher feel and buy some truffle butter to smother your steak in! Seafood has a special on oysters every Friday. Plenty of things to fit any budget

Nice store for non GMO and organic options. salads are good, and bakery items are so so. Veggie section is small but good for salad requirements. The Florists section was, however, disappointing, as most of the flowers seemed 2 - 3 days old and dying on the day i visited, probably its not like that and was just a one time issue , considering the rest of well maintained store. Nice cafe and sitting area to work. Amazon returns also accepted there. Plenty of parking spots and easy access to the parking level 2 to bring groceries to your car, parking ticket reimbursement was quick. Among the most clean and well maintained stores in jersey City. Quick palm signup and self checkout was great.

The positives are, the staff is wonderful and they have great sales. However, this location makes it very clear they don't care about their customers. If you need an extra bag, the only option they have is a cheap quality bag for $5. So they either don't want someone to shop there who can't afford that, or they'd rather know they got that extra $5 from you rather than have a more affordable way for you to feed your family. If you realize you forgot your bags, it's cheaper to take a path to New York, get a few paper bags, and then take the train back, instead of buying their option.

Wow! Look at all this FRESH bread! This is what I saw this morning when the store opened. A vast selection of sourdoughs and loaves. I would never visit a bakery at night expecting FRESH bread.
