Whole Foods Market

This Whole Foods Market location is a gem in the Baldwin Hills area. The store is spacious, clean, and well-organized, making shopping a pleasant experience. The produce section is always fresh and well-stocked, offering a wide variety of organic and locally sourced options. The bakery delights with made-from-scratch breads and desserts, including vegan croissants and gluten-free treats. One of the standout features is the array of eateries within the store. From the hot and cold food bars to the pizza station and Market Cocina, there’s something to satisfy every craving. The juice bar offers fresh juices and smoothies, and there’s even a taproom with 24 beers on tap, many from local breweries.  The staff here are friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or special requests. The store also features a Whole Body section with a great selection of natural body care products and supplements. Parking is convenient, and the store offers amenities like grocery pickup and an Amazon Counter for package pickups and returns.  Overall, this Whole Foods Market provides a top-notch shopping experience with high-quality products and excellent customer service.

As an Amazon Flex driver, I’m giving this Whole Foods location a one-star rating. First, they don’t allow drivers to use the restroom, claiming there isn’t one available. I don’t believe that — there are dozens of employees working here, and it’s simply not possible that none of them use a restroom during their entire shift. Second, I received a package with a damaged barcode and no TBA number. I asked them to print a new one so I could scan and confirm pickup, but they refused. Their attitude was rude, and they asked me how I damaged it — even though it was already like that when I received it. They said they don’t handle new labels and told me to contact support instead, which wasted time and made me late. I strongly advise other Amazon Flex drivers to avoid this Whole Foods location.

I went to experience the bar for the first time. That was a wonderful time the bartender was awesome. But the worse experience I had was going to the bathroom the security kept following and me looking for something my son wanted. Security was following and kept looking at me. I thought i was seeing things but I got up again later to use the restroom there goes security again following me up and down. I didn't see him do that to anybody else. That felt racial profiling cause he didnt follow any white or Asian person. So sad cause he was Hispanic.

The best one yet! But the pizza is not warm enough. This joint has a bar in it...WOW!!!

We went here to get some gluten free treats. Except the pie in the refrigerator section there was nothing gluten free. The bakery staff (2 of them) or any other staff(I checked with 4 other) knew anything abt gluten free. Absolutely useless. Looks like they don’t care abt gluten allergies and only cater to the vegan fad diets. Everything here is typical Whole Foods expensive for no reason.

Hi! This is such a nice WF store! New and big and staff is wonderful. Great pizza station, sushi and lots of soups. In general amazing grocery selection + Amazon return drop off right there conveniently. BUUUUUUUT they have the worst bread - literally tastes like sand and rotisserie chicken is always gross and rubbery. Everything else is great, please fix those 🥹🙏🏼

I try to like this store: It's BEAUTIFUL & convenient. BUT... My Prime account doesn't work here, they admit such due to the "Concrete construction" & The wifi seems very spotty often. Too many TOO bad responses from Staff of which many seem too DISMISSIVE. Also the coffee bar/area is often un-staffed & I've been in & had to leave when some in group felt discriminated against. Hope they get this together. Pretty Store.

As a longtime Whole Foods patron who has shopped at their markets across the U.S., this location unfortunately ranks as my least favorite. While there are some positives—the tap room/bar is excellent (when open), the prepared foods section ranks well among Whole Foods I've visited, and the produce selection is consistently top-quality (though priced accordingly)—the overall shopping experience falls short. The parking situation is manageable despite other reviewers' complaints. My primary concern is the unwelcoming atmosphere. The security guard stationed at the entrance, numerous barricades throughout the store, and frequently disgruntled staff create an unnecessarily stressful shopping environment. Many conveniences I've come to expect from Whole Foods—and willingly pay premium prices for—are noticeably absent at this location. For the management: Why would you move all of the utensils to the front of the store and away from the dining area? Why don’t you have a bar code at the registers for scanning fire wood? Overall, I am hopeful that the atmosphere here improves. The store is still very new.

It started out like a f'n disaster. Ordered in-store pickup. Checked in curbside. Darn. Oh, snap. I'm at the wrong store I drive 15 minutes to this location and cannot find the curbside parking. I ask someone in the lot who works here. What do you mean you don't know. I park and go inside and explain my experience to a lovely women at Customer Service and of course, acknowledge it's all on me. She is fantastic! The groceries are here, but oh no. I can't find my parking ticket! The beautiful lady walks out with me, goes to get a parking attendant, waits for me at the exit gate, and waves goodbye! Humbled and full of gratitude. I should have gotten her name.

The customer service at this Whole Food parking facility is unacceptable. I went there to grab some snacks, and while I was in the parking lot, the arm barrier came down after the car in front of me went through. When I pulled up to push the green button for a ticket, the machine failed to give me one, yet the barrier was lifted. I was in the store for only about 10 minutes, and when I tried to leave, the parking attendant insisted that I needed a ticket. Despite my explanation that the machine didn't provide me with a ticket, he insisted it was impossible and that I had to pay the lost ticket fee. I asked him to check the cameras to verify my account, but he dismissed me by saying the cameras were not part of the parking lot. I went into the building office to request help. Initially, I was told they couldn't assist me, but another employee agreed to look into it. As he spoke to another parking attendant, the same machine failed to give a ticket to yet another driver, proving my point. Eventually, they conceded and "allowed" me to exit without paying, but I demanded an apology from the parking attendant who accused me of lying and claimed it was impossible for the machine to malfunction. He conveniently didn't know where that attendant went. This is a prime example of horrendous customer service that doesn't portray a positive image for Whole Foods if people are being strong armed into paying lost ticket fees if the parking machine has glitches.

I stopped by this location after work since it was on my way home, and it turned out to be a great choice. Parking was quick and easy, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I found everything I needed for making pizza in no time and breezed through the self-checkout for a fast and smooth experience. The ambiance was like any other WF. Highly recommend!

I love WholeFoods coffee. You can never go wrong with this. Mostly I love that they have a little seating area where you can just relax, read or meet up with someone. The baristas have all been so friendly it's just and enjoyable quick stop

Beautiful store. Visited today to drop off an Amazon return and did some shopping. Spacious aisles and, well stocked. Gorgeous produce department, and the prepared, Service Deli area has a tons of really tasty looking selections to choose from. Checkout and parking were both easy, and validation was easy and conveniently located right by the exit doors. I'll be back again for sure! Compared to our other local markets, this location is top-of-the-line!

06/16/2023 They close at 10pm every night. Don't forget to validate your parking ticket. This is a really big store. You could go up and down the aisles like I did. I like the alternatives for the ice cream selections. The chips have a big variety too. Seems like everyone from the buildings come here to shop. Then you have us as visitors for a party. Cannot go in empty handed.

This review isn't for the store. It's for the Amazon drop off services. I came in Saturday 11/30 to return a couple items, and the guy at the Amazon location was rude, didn't greet me but was quick to say "I'M CLOSED". Saw us struggling with the kiosk and didn't offer help until a customer had to ask for him to check the printing labels because they weren't printing. - I usually never have a problem with this location but another lady in line said every time she comes they claim to be closed. Smh.

Easy 90-minute validated parking. Not crowded. Clean. Would definitely return if I'm ever in the area.

Why this location has three stars beats me. I was very impressed by it. I must admit, I didn't go inside yet. I arrived for a pick-up order. I will be back quickly for an in-store visit. The parking lot is a bit tiny but breathtaking at the same time. Like the downtown location on Grand, the parking lot is shared between customers and the residents who live in the nearby structure. The communication is what impressed me the most. Driving around in that structure could leave you lost at first glance but there are signs communicating which side of the structure you're on that leads out to La Cienega and Jefferson. The parking slots has signs of communication to alert you who belongs where. Very organized and that's the part I'm attracted to. Another feature that I felt was quite impressive is the save your car information feature when you arrive for pickup. The site would ask if you want to save the size and color vehicle you have. I thought that was magnificent. I love how close the pickup parking slots are to the store. I used to do Amazon Flex a couple of years back so I was also impressed at how close the parking spaces are for Amazon employees as well. I'm definitely coming back to this location because I was impressed by the communication and service I received.

The Newest Whole Foods just opened West Adam's/Culver City on the corner of La Cienega & Jefferson. It's on the bottom floor of a new apartment building. I'm not a regular shopper at Whole Foods as it can be pricy, but I love several things about this location that will likely make me a regular. First, their prepared food section is awesome. The buffet style take home food costs $11.99/lb but everything looks delicious! They also have a fresh made pizza station, Mexican food where you can make custom bowls, & BBQ. The bakery section is beautiful & most of the individually refrigerated items can be packaged yourselves (like sliced cakes, macarons & mochi ice creams). They have a coffee bar with a nice sized sitting area. I got a large iced americano for $3.50...much cheaper than Starbucks. My favorite part: they have a legit bar in its own section with over 20 beers on tap, great food options, & 7 screens through the seating area playing sports. They also have times, canned spirit drinks like Moscow mules & margaritas. The bartender told us they were planning to have live music over the weekend as well. Easy parking: lot entrance is located at the back of the building, I'm not sure if the lot entrances off the main streets will be opened at some point. I look forward to seeing what in store events they planned to have in the future.

I purchased salmon from the seafood department, which was supposed to be fresh. After getting the two center-cut pieces of salmon home and preparing them on the same day, I noticed a faint bad, fishy smell after opening the package of paper that it was wrapped in from the Fresh fish food case where it was specifically selected. The same day after preparing it, I still noticed a faint bad smell from the fish. This item is normally not a fishy smell. I should've thrown it out. It made me very sick, vomiting and diarrhea, stomach cramps and headache after eating. Many days later, after I recovered from sickness, I contacted the store's seafood manager, and he was very arrogant; his name was Richard, saying that he ate it himself and that it was fine; what a character not having any sympathy for what I went through, but simply to be arrogant. I question the cleanliness of the area as well as asking if they are putting out old outdated fish and selling them as if it is current. I will never purchase fish from Whole Foods again specifically the Culver City location on La Cienega. I have never had any problems with the seafood purchase there prior, but now I feel that the quality of service and detail to freshness and cleanliness has possibly taken a dive in the wrong direction since Amazon has taken over. But the most poignant point is that the seafood manager as he described himself, a Hispanic gentleman name, Richard extremely arrogant and unprofessional, which is probably why the seafood quality has declined. Seafood is one of those food items that can kill and make a person very ill if not handled properly or stored properly.

Easy parking, free wi-fi, and a huge assortment of deliciousness from snacks to full meals! While at Whole Foods, I had the honey vanilla latte, an extra spicy green juice, and sandwiches loaded with veggies. Other options included pizza by the slice, sushi and Mexican food. They also boast a sports bar with a nice happy hour! My new go to grocery spot!

I'm local to the area living here for nearly 23 years. The deli staff at Whole Foods is usually rude and hates to be bothered. Sometimes I have had a good experience though 60-70% when it's not it's disappointing. Many times I have had a sandwich with sliced bread and even gluten free bread specifically yet tonight after the Lions Niners game the staff told me if I want any variety of sandwich bread I need to go buy it and then give them some of it for them to make the sandwich I have already had there before. For a high end grocery store the deli staff is repeatedly inept and rude.

Great location Free parking with validation Bakery, sushi, bar, pizza and so much more! So exited to have one near home! Plenty of parking, friendly staff and security. They have the Vegan Pizza option! That is my number one pizza! Self check out or with assistance! Come check it out!

The seafood department guys at this location are really fun and helpful. I've called/come by a few times asking about product or services and they've cracked me up each time and answers those questions kindly. I'm a private chef so I feel like I'm always trying to pin down which Whole Foods are the best bet for a good counter and selection. Great attitude and really great seafood counter here.

It's always a good Whole Foods to go to however their coffee bar has really SLOW, inefficient service. They're always understaffed so you have one person manning both stations sometimes. Like what? Whole Foods, you have enough money to pay your workers more and hire more help to make your customers happy. Get it together and be better.

The first few times I figured I was looking into things too deeply -- but now I'm confident security follows me around every time I come to this location. I've been shopping in the morning at 7am when they first open. At this time there's more security guards than customers. Today I had a security guard follow me down an aisle and pretend to be shopping for crackers so he could watch me shop. So annoying. I complained to corporate, too. If it continues I'll just shop another location. This has never happened to me at other WF locations.

Spacious Whole Foods grocery store which yields lots of room to navigate. The store is still relatively new, less than one year old and still has that new and clean feel. The staff is friendly and helpful. Even the parking structure is clean, open and airy, which can be rare. So it was easy to get in and out of the structure. Remember to validate your parking ticket upon leaving. The security guard reminded me so I was lucky. You scan your parking ticket with a scanner gun after checking out.

Might want to avoid buying from this store right now (1/8/24). Something is up and they are lacking a ton of stuff and all produce is HORRIBLE. Additionally, they need to teach their fish guys how to be a bit more sanitary. And I'm not just talking about the rotten whitefish I got a few nights ago. When they hand you your order with a ton of slime and fish guts on it...well...not good. Pretty good booze selection, but the prices are astronomical for some items. Good selection, for sure though. There's a lot to love about this spot but not right now. Unless they right the ship, I can't see any other reason to go. They have not had items I needed, sold me bad fish, and all of their produce is awful right now.

I was a bit disappointed that they had nobody at the Deli to greet us after 30 minutes of waiting there. Then a woman from back came up and told us that they're short staffed and that there's nobody making any food. Seriously? Wow!!

I'm glad there is a Whole Foods in this area. Seems to be a full service location. I even got fresh tulips for under $8! Plenty of variety of everything. Lots of organic selections. There's even a pizza shop on-site. I was happy to find cuts of meat I couldn't find at the other closest grocery stores, Smart & Final or Ralph's. Parking was easy but doesn't seem to be suited for high traffic. I didn't have any problems getting in and out the three times I visited. Highly recommend.

Whole Dog Foods. Will people please leave their dogs at home? We love the staff, and too many security guards, but nice selection on everything.

Whole Foods is a classic for a cafe latte. Always love going to shop in the store after too.

Nice, clean store. Parking was crowded but we found a spot. We bought a tart pie for a party and it was yummy. I definitely recommend the bakery. Employees were helpful and friendly.

I stopped off to bring an Amazon return. It was very convenient. The store was not very busy. Will definitely be back to shop.

Went to the smoothie/ juice section at 2:45 to order a juice and the lady told me she's clocking out and doesn't have someone to cover her. How do you not have enough staff to take someone's order? Yet, why not work an extra 5 minutes over time and make a paying customer a smoothie. Super inconvenient and unhelpful.

I stopped into this brand new Whole Foods to get some thing for dinner... the meat in the meat department looked so fresh and the seafood looked so amazing... Cesar and Jaime helped me out in the seafood/meat department. I had a lot of questions they answered all my questions without being impatient or annoyed. They had great suggestions and I have to say that I don't think that I've ever received such good customer service in the meat department at a grocery store. They were very attentive, responsive, and helpful. In the world dare I say post Covid, where no one wants to work it was very refreshing to see these gentlemen help me and assist me make some decisions for what I was going to make for dinner. I applaud them!!! Thank you for helping me!

This is one of the biggest Whole Foods stores I've seen -- there's a bar, a coffee shop, smoothie/juice shop in addition to all of the other regular Whole Foods amenities. Parking is also super easy and free (for now). Strangely enough, I've been to this store a couple times now to do some work as well! There's a lot of work space on both ends of the store where the bar is and where the coffee shop is. There's outlets and lots of light making this place pretty ideal.

Yearning for the delicious smoothies but arrived at 6:50 on a Saturday and the smoothie place said they were closed. Update the times please!

This is hands down my go-to and favorite Whole Foods around. Being that I've practically lived here for about a year now I've gotten the chance to meet a lot of the amazing and helpful crew. Alex, Victor, Eric, Priscilla, Liz, Nory, Chris, and Patty, you awesome people always brighten up my day and make my shopping trips a lot less tedious. THANK YOU! The one, and only, downside to this store has got to be the prepped foods/smoothie bar/coffee bar area...I don't even know where to begin with this section and it's baffling when compared to the rest of the store. A little attention and maybe some training for this section would really make this place amazing. Perks to this location: Ample parking, free Wi-Fi, Amazon pickup/returns and a very cool bar.

We finally have. Whole Foods close by!!!! And WOW this one is huge! I didn't know that some Whole Foods even have bars until I spotted it here. They also have the usual hot food bar, smoothie bar and coffee station! The staff are super nice and always eager to ask you if you need help in anything. Love that they offer the Amazon prime discount! It not much... but hey discounts are discounts. Parking is super easy and there's PLENTY of it! And it's free but I'm sure that'll change Also, they have the Amazon spot where you can return or even pick up your packages! Super convenient.

Free parking with validation underground and it's clean inside and out. They always have some good buffet food and I always eat here. Prices are ok and the service is always chill.

Do not come here for smoothies on Sunday evenings, the employees would rather talk than help the customers waiting to order a smoothie. My husband even asked them if one of them could help us and they said they will be right there and then continued to talk for another 10 minutes. It wasn't until we went to another section to ask a third worker to help us with a smoothie order and when the third worker came over to ask Oscar or Samy to help us that they finally stopped chatting and helped us. Oscar was very not happy to be called out by my husband in front of the third employee. When we mentioned it to our cashier as we were leaving, she said Oscar is the manager. Oh boy, if that guy is the manager and that's how he runs things, you're better off shopping elsewhere....

This is the most spacious Whole Foods I've been to. I noticed they have a wide selection of desserts including macarons and single mochis. The service is good and you have to walk over to the scanner to validate your ticket after checking out.

My 1st time in Whole Food Market, the place was open and bright there is an unbelievable amount if options to choose from ither then groceries. The staff was pleasant and helpful, I only had 1 issue, my phone didn't register at the self checkout, so I had to use my phone app to get the in store code. It seems a bit much, especially for the older generation who may not can go through all that to get a discount or not get a discount.

Whole Foods is a great place to come and stock up on necessities, but also a good place to find new things to try. Thanks to Tik Tok I discovered some new brands at this store, so I was pleasantly surprised to find them in stock at this location. The product in question? Poppi soda and Hu cookies! This location seems very clean, well stocked, and has a variety of things. The customer service was great as well. Overall I enjoyed my experience and would definitely come back to this location.

Great addition to the neighborhood. This store is great. Parking is easy, large selection of items and the meat and fish is outstanding. Josh in the seafood department is fantastic, a total pro. I buy seafood at least twice a week and whenever he is working he is friendly and extremely helpful. He picks out nice cuts and always insists on including ice to keep it fresh. And the Amazon return is great as well.

It's okay. I been to this location a few times. I did give five stars, but that's because most of my complaints, are things outside the store (parking etc.) and things they can hopefully improve on. I feel by now, people should know what Whole Foods is. Organic/healthy based store. Some name brand/supermarket stuff, but that's not the point. This location in principle, is like the same as any other whole foods. With a very nice side al a carte/salad bar/restaurant area. Inside of the store is nice. But my main complaint, is the parking lot. It's very difficult, and scary to drive through at times. A lot of locked gates, vestibules, ramps. It's below an apartment complex, which shares the underground lot. I'm hoping that maybe they paint the pavement in the lot, add signs, not lock entrances or ramps, so customers can easily maneuver through the lot. But worst of all, parking is technically not free. You are allowed a half an hour free, only with validation, which the validation machine, is very simple and easy to miss, especially as a first time customer at this location. There are small signs, alerting customers to validate, but again, it's very easy to miss the validation machine, and for new customers, to not even be aware period. Through technology, the cameras and sensors in the parking entrance, can tell whether you have a validated ticket, so if you don't, prepare to pay whatever overage you have from not having a validated ticket. My first time visiting this store, I didn't even know I had to go to the validation machines, but luckily the guard that was on shift that day, was very nice, and was understanding, and he let me through. I feel other people aren't as lucky. I feel this is rather unfair, and parking should be free, and in the least, validation should be easier for newbies to understand, for Whole Foods customers. So to avoid this, I guess walk, or take public transit to this store I guess. But aside from the parking issues, which I guess can be improved, this is a great Whole Food store. Thank you.

A big store, clean and well-maintained. But their salad bar, buffet foods, and coffee bar don't stack up to the ones in Playa Vista or Venice. Lots of empty spaces on the hot and cold salad/buffet spots making for a lack of variety in offerings. Also, they don't "freshen" the foods often, so the hot foods and soups often have a "skin" on top. Been to the coffee bar area three times and two of the times they didn't have milk and said they'd run out. Sorry not sorry. It's a grocery store, yet they didn't have milk or couldn't get some? Management could also try and staff more cashiers. The one or two cashiers they have covering during busy times are overworked and understandably stressed. Just shows they don't really care about their workers.

Went there for a coffee and place to sit was disgustingly dirty with stained seats and looked like a school canteen - not atmosphere. We decided to move to the bar area - not much better. The music was so loud that you have to shout. We asked nicely if they could turn it down a bit but nothing happened even when I asked again. Staff seemed more interested in watching the TV then looking after the customers I live locally but won't return

Reviewing the hot bar food. If I could give 0 stars I would. First I paid $22 for a piece of sh*t *as meal. The chicken tenders were in fact not tender. I feel like the chew bones I give my my dog are easier to bite. So dry hard and flavorless. The orange chicken was soggy, you're better off buying the frozen one from Trader Joe's. The samosas tasted like so much oil. Overall I'm sure prison serves better food than the food sold here. The only half decent thing on this plate was the pot roast and mashed potatoes

I'm local and whole food my everyday stop, my issue was with the bar, i came the other day to watch lakers game at 7pm and bar was closed, I asked one of the bar stuff their hours operations so I don't waste time commuting and he literally mentioned it's whenever and they don't have set of hours of operation and advised to keep coming and check, also he was not polite very straight forward and not caring, very cold. I except way better service and customer care from Whole Foods Market. Have hours of operation for the bar, every bars do, very simple.

This is , without a doubt, the best Whole Foods I've ever shopped at! The staff is professional , the fruits and vegetables are super fresh, the selection of products is great, and the restaurant/ bar is very cool!

Looking for good fast food ... the Whole Foods hot bar fills the bill. A bigger buffet than many mid-sized casinos. Plenty of parking under the building, validated in the store 1 hour and an area for dining. Looking for healthy fast food, come here.

Firstly, it is in an indescribably bad location. If you are driving, prepare to add time trying to navigate the intersection of Jefferson & La Cienega. Good luck with that. I took the train because it's directly across from the station. Secondly, from the street it is impossible to see how you get into the building, but after walking I found it near the parking garage. (Nice parking garage!) The store itself is huge beyond necessity. It is spotless and well stock. It wasn't busy at 10am on a Friday. The workers were nice, but no one asked if I needed help, or greeted me. That's not a dealbreaker though. There was no cell reception while shopping so I wasn't able to access my shopping list on the app. It gets 4 stars because of the location, and because the layout is confusing. Wanted to give it 3 stars, but that's because of the prices. If you live in walking distance or take the train it's super convenient. Lastly, I suggest taking out a loan before you come. I mean, really! Regardless of inflation, there is no reason for prices to be as they are at Wholefoods. Amazon has more money than most countries, why can't they compete with other super markets by lowering prices? But no, as a low paid teacher, I purchased two snacks for $17.

Came by to take advantage of the discounted coupons sent to my home. This is the biggest WF I've ever been to. The selection here is incredible. Huge meat counter, big salad bar and hot food counter not to mention cafe. They also have a dedicated Amazon return counter. Staff is super kind and extremely helpful given that they just opened a few days ago. Very well well stocked despite all of this. Parking is plentiful and it is located right next to the Expo line making it extremely easy to get here by public transportation.

I've always had a nice experience at this store. Several times I've had to ask for help to find something and was always helped without issue. This is the only place I've ever seen that consistently stocks Broccoli Rabe. Love that bitter stuff! The food bar is decent, the store is really well spaced and usually well stocked. Some veggies are 86'd on occasion, but that is a trend throughout LA. Never had a long wait in line, even around the holidays.

Beautiful store & a welcomed addition to my neighborhood. The employees have all been helpful & friendly each time I've been to the store since its late Summer 2022 opening. Link your Amazon account for discounts at checkout, although savings are minimal, anything helps. There is ample security present as this store is located on a very busy La Cienega boulevard adjacent from the Culver Exchange & metro train line. Parking has so far been a nonissue, but I could see it becoming more crowded in the future. A plus to this store is the outdoor seating as you can enjoy a meal from the hot/cold bar in the plaza, or a morning coffee & pastry in the sun. I don't do all my shopping at Whole Foods, but for specialty items & ample selection of fresh foods, this is your place to come!

New whole-foods opened up in town so I was excited to check it out. I came here with my mom visiting me. We had lunch from the hot bar, got some pizza, drinks & chocolate. Very clean & shiney store. Large space which was nice. I loved the supreme pizza & the caprese. I packed my food scale coming here like a weirdo & I've attached some pics in case y'all are curious about the calories per oz of some food items. Me mom & I liked our experience here.
