Whole Foods Market

On many occasions especially recently, Wholefoods Market employs a third party entity ( Allied Universal ) to offer security services within the store . The security personnel are given a directive to follow me throughout the store as I shop, and I have witnessed  on several occasions the omnipresence of the security personnel, which is to surveill my whereabouts as I shop. I have not displayed any criminal behavior, nor have I engaged in any criminal act, e.g, theft . The countenance displayed by the individual denotes a grimace . The individual is beholden to a duplicitous decree to intimidate and induce fear by re appearing in my line of vision in many areas of the store . I have evidence of said events that I have documented footage of.

Super environment, friendly staff and pleasant to shop in such a beautiful store. Huge store with fresh delicious fruits and vegetables, kosher products, a whole big store when you go in the back (,not the best of a layout) but a great register lines system with 20 cashiers.

The WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER at the self-checkout kiosk—the whole point of which is to avoid this store’s generally lousy customer service. FIRST, I have to wait several minutes for the attendant to check my ID for a beer purchase, and of course he enters my birthdate wrong. But I catch this and he fixes it. THEN, when I’ve rung up and packed my groceries —including a big tub of rapidly melting ice cream—the crappy machine freezes altogether and I stand there waiting …. And waiting… and waiting. Finally I see the attendant and flag him down. He tries to fix the machine but is unable to. He tells me that the machine has been freezing all day, so I ask him why it was not marked out of order?!?! Now the checkout process has taken a crazy amount of time, and it’s the night before Thanksgiving and I need to get home. So tell the attendant that I’m furious, and he goes to get a manager, which again takes forever. FINALLY I give up and unpack everything, figuring I’ll just get up early and go to Trader Joe’s in the morning, and the manager shows up, telling me to ring up at the register. I tell him I’m ready to walk out, but he says he’ll give me a $10 discount for my trouble. I agree and the clerk rings me up. All good, right? WRONG!!!! When I get home I see they have double charged me for stuff in my cart!! So much for their “discount!!!” What a FRAUD!! Absolutely horrible. I’m beyond DISGUSTED and will NEVER set foot in ANY Whole Foods again.

Floor plan has a lot to be desired! No flow to the store. Wish there were more canned goods/veggies/soups...too many beans. Plastic around meats is just too much... especially when we know that mircoplastic particles are in our foos due to plastic packaging. Cashier staff very helpful and friendly. Fruits and veggies look nice.

Yesterday they had horrible veggies, @WholeFoods you can not sell people TRASH . I will give them a 1Star , because I always shop there . I purchase organic kale,tofu,organic spinach, mango, strawberries, blueberries, Raspberry, banana, wheat grass, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower.

I am avid Whole Foods shopper where I can find international ingredients when my local grocery does not carry or sells it. At times the item may be a little bit pricey but when I do shop I buy the items which are on sale. I use my Amazon Prime for the sale items price. I only shop when I venture out to the city when the weather is warm/sunny. I do not have a specific shopping location but will enjoyed shopping there. It is always busy no matter what time of the day you shop.

Updated review: I tried to give Whole Foods another chance because it’s good quality near my house. I’m downgrading them from 2 to 1 star. This Whole Foods is by far the worst one I’ve ever been too. The checkout is always poorly staffed. I waited 20 mins+ on a Saturday evening to check out. Go to Trader Joe’s down the street and even in its high volume chaos, it’s way faster to check out. It’s quite embarrassing for Whole Foods. Original review: Most bizarre interaction with an employee during check out. I asked for paper bags, she didn’t bag anything. Not a problem. so when she was done scanning everything, I ask again for bags and she got an attitude with me. She started bagging my stuff, so I figured be nice and help her since it’s busy. Then she jumped back and threw her hands in the air and refused to help. It was like I was diseased or something. I ended bagging my groceries myself. The whole experience was bizarre and uncomfortable. They are ALWAYS out of a lot of things

I visited this store on a Sunday at 4 PM and was shocked to find the checkout line stretching through four aisles. It would have taken at least 40 minutes to reach the cashier, so I ended up leaving without making a purchase. The store urgently needs a more efficient system for handling busy days. A better solution is necessary to avoid frustrating experiences like this.

Recently stopped in to purchase some green grapes for New Year's Eve. This location can get overwhelming to shop at due to the large crowd of people who are shopping. The departments are not so organized which makes it difficult to find what you are searching for quickly. It's also overwhelming in the sense of so many options to select from. It's great that all or most of the items are Non-GMO. The prices are decent but I'm sure you can and will find better deals at other supermarkets. The checkout line moves relatively slow if you want to check out with an actual person verses self checkout. Fortunately, I'm not a frequent shopper here.

One Star Now. As of 12/2024 at 3pm EST Only 2 checkout counters for Cash customers. This is the 292 Ashland ave Brooklyn NY WholeFoods ( Amazon own ). 15+ new check out machines that do not take cash ! 1 Star for that. All the card customers get in and out but we cash people have to wait on long lines. I'm shopping at Traders Joe, Keyfood and BrooklynFare ALL with in 4-5 blocks of each other. Wasn't always like that up until 2 months ago. My Wife can get her Cod fish from Trader Joes who by the way have 30 fully manned check out counters. No matter how long the line is your're out in 2-3 minutes.

Not too sure how to rate this place. It's pricey compared to Trader Joe's but shout out to security Maurice. Super sweet and he watched my groceries while I ran to the bathroom and reminded me of my stack of water I left under my cart.

I trekked to this location to get my Bitchin sauce tubs. I was not about to pay $8 at Target when I could pay $6 or less at Whole Foods. This location is a short walk from the Atlantic Ave subway station. I took the escalator to the lower floor where all of the products were located. It took me awhile to find the refrigerated section since this is not the location I normally shop at. I finally found the section and picked out the Bitchin sauce tubs. It wasn't on sale but for $6, it is still cheaper than elsewhere. Across from the refrigerated section of the hot foods area and past that are the checkout lines. There wasn't much of a line so I was able to checkout very easily and fast. Always ask for help if you need it. The ambiance was fine. I may try their hot foods next time I'm there. Also, I like the flower arrangements they have. Very pretty and affordable.

This is the closest Whole Foods to me and I come here weekly. It's close to the Atlantic Avenue-Baclay's Center. I usually do grocery pickup and for the most part, things run smoothly. However, on two separate occasions, I got an email stating that I was not at the grocery pickup location--funny thing is that I hadn't checked in. I don't know what happened there. I also had to request a refund due to a recall (the listeria ice cream recall). The employee gave me a gift card and I could still get a credit on my credit card. I wish this location had a self-scan but I guess the pickup option works. The staff is helpful and it's clean inside--like a typical Whole Foods.

This review is for their customer service or lack there of. Poor customer service. They leave you on hold, phone calls, conveniently get disconnected, or they just don't answer. If you lose anything, they don't check to see if it's been turned in. they just say they don't have it. In the store when I ask for something half of the time they don't know or they just say they don't have it. Then I find it myself a few minutes later.

Their salad bar is amazing! I went in looking for a sandwich or other healthy last-minute snack, but when I saw the crisp fresh veggies I went for it. Everything was crisp, colorful, and tasty. Yes it's spendy. Yes it was worth it.

02/05/23 : Tagged along with a friend after trip to Apple store. Very bright merchandise pretty much organized. Ended up purchasing frozen shrimp and salmon. Check out moved smooth and efficiently as always. Reason for deduction of star lack of Wi-Fi connectivity as a result unable to take advantage of Amazon's prime discount account. Also had a whole food which wasn't sure had $ on it. Couldn't access I order to find out.

Aside from being ridiculously overpriced, as usual, this is a pretty awesome Whole Foods Market. Ultra clean, tons of merchandise, and ultra modern checkout line control system.

The main reason for my visit today was the salad bar. They have both a hot and scold salad bar available for one flat fee. I had some excellent tortellini, a lovely potato salad, some jerk boneless chicken thighs that were out of this world, which sounds like a complete exaggeration. So let's say out of this world for a supermarket. I'm from Little Haiti so I know a thing or two about Jerk spice. Anyway, I highly recommend the salad bar. This is a multi-level location with the main part of the store located in the basement of a high-rise and even with all of the artwork and you know way to go brooklynisms once you get to the checkout, it feels pretty dystopian. There's no self checkout here though, so you're going to have to wait in a long line but it moves pretty quickly. They have like 20 registers.

Ended in having to order groceries today something I would never do cause I think it's for lazy people or fat ones but desperate times call for desperate measures. Anyway from the time I ordered it on Amazon's website it was ready within 15 minutes. I checked in while walking to the store and by the time I got there there was a guy ready with my groceries bagged. It saves time when you're in a rush or just to más to be around others. The only thing I didn't like was they don't give bagá with handles aside from that it was pure perfection.

I'm uncertain why the low reviews. Their prices have gotten a lot more reasonable over the years and their sales, especially if you're a prime member, are kick ass. It's sucks that there is no service as it's in the basement but so is life. Their offerings are extensive and the lines though may be long are relatively quick. They have a water fountain and bathrooms which is sweet. Also a pretty good vegan burger/fries/shakes place on ground floor.

The fruits and veggies are usually fresh and using Amazon prime there are good sales prices.

They get 2 for the food selection being fresh and decent prices with the Amazon prime extra discount but their checkout system when you get out is like so weird you get in three lines you look at the screen is like you're all robots you look at the screen for your number You go to your assigned number. The cashier doesn't greet. You doesn't say a word just rings up your stuff doesn't ask Do you want bag bag it? Nothing immediately after you pay she rings the buzzer for the next person up so immediately rushed by the next person behind you before you even got to pack your damn groceries I was so rushed and I had $100 worth of groceries I end up leaving some and the cashier call me back because I was bum rushed by the person behind me, How about she wait until I finish packing all my stuff before she calls the next person, like this is the rudest whole foods I ever been to so unfriendly and so unorganized when check out comes in to play..!

The checkout line system is ridiculous -- people who got there after me went first because they decentralize the lines and if you end up in the slowest one (totally possible since no one can for sure pick the fastest one), you'll wait longer. After waiting in line, I simply couldn't buy what I chose because the cashier couldn't figure out why the products wouldn't scan. She called someone to fix the issue, but this person (red-ish haired guy) not only took several minutes to show up but also dragged his feet saying he couldn't do anything about it either -- instead of simply being proactive and calling his supervisor, for example. I left without the products I wanted to buy because of sheer incompetence.

The pre made salads are so good and fresh - personally the Greek salad. Super yummy., when you need something quick it's worth the price

This is a review for catering service. I placed a large order for a baby shower- Irie (spelling?) was really wonderful, personally invested in things going right and making sure I got everything that I needed, stayed late to make sure my order was ok. She was amazing! Please give the woman a raise. Most of the food was perfect- sushi was better/fresher than I expected, salmon was buttery and tender, grilled veggies were very good. Salmon and chicken were beautifully arranged. The shrimp & chicken was a little dry, but with such a big order I know it's hard. They also provided a complimentary cut fruit platter, so thoughtful! Pick-up/checkout took a little too long, but everyone was really communicative, accommodating and excited to help make the event I was hosting special. In the future, I would have loved it if serving utensils were included. Would order from them again in a heartbeat. [I'll try to post professional pix of the food when we get them back!!]

This really is the worst whole foods branch in all of NYC. Built originally as a "discounted version" based on the 365 brand, that concept has since been abandoned, and this branch is left with none of the WF signature frills (no butcher station, no seafood counter, no on premises bakery) except for the exceptionally high prices. As if all that isn't enough, many basic products are often out of stock, the checkout lines are poorly designed and there is almost always a shortage of cashier staffers. I just left empty handed after witnessing over 100 people in line with about 7 staffers at checkout. Utterly disappointing, again and again

I'm visiting BKNY, and had an amazing experience yesterday at WFM Ft. Greene. This Whole Foods is the true definition of five-stars. They had everything I wanted, the staff were friendly and helpful, the store was very clean, and the checkout was fast & efficient. Aileen and Andy helped me find what I was looking for, and Brittany was an excellent cashier. Thank you guys; I'll definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Brooklyn. With gratitude, Scott

They don't have any whole wheat bread! The fresh whole wheat boule bread is one of the best items at other Whole Foods but sadly this location does not sell this. I'm surprised they don't have any whole wheat bread though, even the pre-sliced prepackaged loafs. Their bakery has most other types (sourdough, olive bread, seeduction), so this seems like an unusual omission. Other than that, great selection of fruits vegetables and other healthy food!

I went to whole foods three times just to get the white peach I like. Disappointedly, the white peach is always out of stock during evening and night time. I'm very annoyed cause I don't have time to shop in the morning. Highly suggest they can do a better inventory planning so I don't have to waste the time going there but not get the fruits I like.

Do NOT go to this Whole Foods. The lines are a half hour long and they have no self checkout. This wouldn't be an issue if they had enough people checking customers out- but on the weekend they maybe have 5,6 tills open. It's ridiculous

Whole foods Market has healthy food and wonderful employees. I love going to shop there

I received a food card for Whole Foods, so my roommate and I walked to this location, which is approximately 1 mile from us. The store was pretty spacious and stocked pretty well. The only item I couldn't find on my list was tahini. My main complaint was that it was a bit crowded and I was getting anxiety from all the people around, especially the workers who were constantly in the way and grabbing groceries for online shoppers. Also, I felt that I couldn't really find anyone to help me find certain merchandise. I finally came across a young man working at the place who was so friendly and showed me where everything I needed was. The other issue is that everything is so expensive! When we got to the cashier, we found out that we went way above budget (and the food card was for a substantial amount), so we had to get rid of a bunch of items. For example, 2 pounds of jumbo shrimp came out to $40! We definitely should have kept the salmon instead. Thankfully, the cashier was incredibly patient and allowed us to take the time we needed to sort through our groceries and figure out what we didn't actually need. The only reason I went to Whole Foods was because of the food card, but I don't normally shop here and this experience enhanced that mindset. I won't be back.

everything they serve at the hot kitchen they refrigerate for customers to purchase with their snap benefits. Also most of the time if they've cook something and it's gone after lunch time you have the option to grab it from the fridge. The best stop to hit up before going to the art studio, while at the studio or going home after the studio.

This Whole Foods is going to get me in some serious trouble (read: debt). I'm no stranger to "Whole Paycheck", but this one just seems so much more enticing and thought-out. Is it the ease of location? Just steps from Atlantic. Or maybe it's the ABUNDANCE of plant-based/vegan options present. Let's start with Van Leeuwen. They sell my absolute fave ice-cream here with a few of their vegan flavours for about the same price that it goes for a pint in-store. There's an entire plant-based cheese fridge, frozen meat alternatives, deli style meat alternatives, baked goods--you name it. Including the standard cheese & charcuterie sections and robust produce section. Well organized layout; Weigh, scan, and pricing machines included. Now switch off to the beer fridge and you find a nice selection of Belgian brews and a favourite that I don't come across often in NY and reasonably priced; the Québécois "La Fin du Monde". Any who, four full bags later and it is time for me ta go! Byeeee (til next week).

I don't like gentrification, but I must say, I do love this Whole Foods! From the vegetarian restaurant and the beer hall upstairs, to the pizza bar and macaroni & cheese section in the food bar, this place really stands out. Still very strange to see things like Cheerios for sale at Whole Foods but as a promised, this was going to be a very different scene and it is. In the beer section downstairs they even have a kiosk where you can find out more about your different beers. Crazy! Other things like fish and such are cheaper than in other locations, but they also don't have butcher or fishmonger sections like regular Whole Foods does. I've already been here twice in two days (didn't make it to opening day, but I did for day 2) so that's saying a whole lot about how attractive this location is for so many of us. Downtown Brooklyn is kind of like a second home anyway, so I will be back.

Great location. Easily accessible by many bus lines and subways. Across the street from BAM, so if you need something after a show. Everything is neatly organized. Plenty of prepared foods to stop in for a healthy lunch or dinner. Plenty of seating upstairs and downstairs. All the staff is welcoming and friendly. The best part is The Port Authority on the street level. Johanna was very helpful in explaining how to purchase beer, wine and cider by the ounce. You can even do your own flights. Awesome!

The gleaming, long-awaited, new location of Whole Foods Market 365, the first on the East Coast, opened this morning. Two stories, it has in-store retail outlets of Orwasher's Bakery & Cafe, Juice Press, POURiT, and Next Level Burger on the first (street) level, and the market on the second (basement) level. Conceived as a lower-cost mini-chain, it is indeed smaller than its regular Whole Foods Market stores, though still offers a similar level of customer experience. There is fresh produce (better prices here for sure), seafood (packaged, not fresh), dairy, frozen, cereals, and other regular items one would find at a grocery store, though of course the selection is somewhat limited. They carry both their private label 365 brand as well as other name brands (e.g. Cheerio's). Dried foods can be self-weighed and labeled; same goes for the produce. There are definitely better value items here than at the regular stores, and even at their cheapest, they may even be cheaper than Trader Joe's ($1.50 for 2 lb of white onions, $1/avocado on sale vs. $1.29/avocado at TJ's) or a similar price (25 cents for each organic banana, 89 cents per pound of orange carrots). Aisles are sufficiently wide and the store layout is easy to navigate. There is a salad and hot food bar is priced at $8.99/lb, as opposed to the $9.99/lb at the regular store locations (and even an eyebrow-raising $10.99/lb at the Bryant Park location). The prepared food section includes soups, pizza ($3.50/slice, $6/2 slices), hot sandwiches, as well as cold items (sushi, quesadillas, burritos, etc.) located in a refrigerated area. The fresh bakery items are sourced from numerous suppliers, including bagels from New York Bagels; croissants ($3 each, compared to $2 at most other Whole Foods locations; one of the few items more expensive than their counterparts at the "real stores"), muffins, and other pastries from Roberta's; and various other breads from such as places as Hot Bread Bakery in Harlem. Those who like mochi will find the mochi cooler ($2 each), as well as the cookies by the pound. There is fresh produce (better prices here for sure), seafood (packaged, not fresh), dairy, frozen, cereals, and other regular items one would find at a grocery store. They carry both their private label 365 brand as well as other name brands (e.g. Cheerio's). Dried foods can be self-weighed and labeled; same goes for the produce. Given the convenient location, I would definitely come here, though wouldn't buy all my groceries at this one store. There is limited seating on both levels, so may not be a place where one can hang out for an extended period. This is very much a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

This new Whole Foods 365 Market is conveniently located in the hustle and bustle of downtown Brooklyn. I was excited to try this new location out, even though I am not an avid Whole Foods shopper because they are typically more expensive than other supermarkets such as Trader Joe's. The 365 brand is supposed to be a less expensive alternative to the pricier option at Whole Foods. However, I found that the 365 items where significantly higher prices than their competition. Navigating through the store during its peak hours (I went after work when everyone goes to buy their groceries) can be a bit annoying because it's hard to take your time a look for what you want when you have people trying to get around. Another downside were the long lines. I've been to several different Whole Foods locations, and I've had a pretty fair experience getting in and out the store. This location seems to have some technical issues with their screens, as some other reviews have stated. What I do enjoy about this location, and Whole Foods in general, is the quality of the food. Their meat selection is by far one of the best out there. It's pricier, but well worth it!

Not a bad store but oh that prepared chili. Full of gristle and even bone. Not cheap either! You should do better than this.

Great store! Prices are moderate, and the quality of products are awesome. One thing should mention here that lines issues is a big thing. Overall, nice and clean store for purchasing groceries.

The staff here are beyond disrespectful and rude. I went in today to get two items. The cashier refused to check me out because the screen that has the registers was calling customers on the wrong screen. All of that difficulty and unnecessariness for a simple issue. I've also gotten bulk items here that were mislabeled. I thought I was buying chocolate covered cherries and it turned out to be chocolate covered almonds. I'm not allergic to nuts but such a mistake could be dangerous for people that are. Honestly, the prices are cheap here but the complete lack of customer service leaves much to be desired.

This location is not the best!! The lines are so long. I was in line for 20 mins, the food and snack selection is ok, I wish they had more fresh dessert their was almost of frozen dessert. I expected them to have better foods. I just picked up some ice cream shape shortcake and left

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Brandi, the florist. She was incredibly resourceful and helpful, talking and making sure I ended up with the right customized flower bouquet for valentines day. Spent around 15-20 mins and she graciously answered all my questions during a busy day!

Usually I think wholefood is more expensive than trader Joe's from cheese to can food and almost everything. This 365 version is doing pretty well to compete. First of all, I was here around 6:30pm the prime time for groceries shopping. The place isnt as pack as trader Joe's with line at max 5 minutes long. This is a total positive. Beside having shorter line, I was amazed by the size of this place. Let's start with upstairs. There are many dining around with draft beer and some food area which I didn't get a chance to take a look. Heading downstairs, wholefood starts wit flower offer. Example will be $25 for dozen rose or $20 with prime membership a day before Valentine's. That is a good start. This place is huge. Everything you needed from fresh fruit veggies to frozen area. I think of this as trader Joe's 2.0 with a modern look. Price is amazing. This 365 version is not only for the one percent. I vote this deserve a visit if you are tired of waiting on line.

So I have now been here three times now since it opened and as a frequent shopper at regular Whole Foods err... Paycheck... err Amazon, prices are comparatively lower on certain items. There are also some caveats: First, here's where you'll save the Big Bucks: Produce: Prices, overall are lower, than at WF proper. For instance, organic Cauliflower is $3.50 per head, and if you want to go the 'conventional' route, it's $2.75. Little things that tend to add up, like Scallions, Parsley, and Cilantro also cost notably less. Meat & Fish: During the first couple opening weeks, there were some great deals, but now that they've reeled me in, I'm a bit less impressed. But there still seem to items here and there that are decently priced. For instance, I picked up some pre-marinated 365-brand Garlic & Herb Chicken Breasts for 20% of their usual $6.99 per lb. price. With the addition of a little S & P, aka salt 'n pepper, they broiled up nicely. Throughout the Store: Though not nearly as dramatic as these two departments, there seem to be random items that are priced less, as in .50 cents here and $1 there. Rewards Program: If you sign up, you'll save 10% on select items. Now, the Caveats: There are no specialized departments offering personal service. This includes Meat, Fish, Deli, Cheese, and Baked Goods. With the exception of the Baked Goods Department, which includes a display of artisanal, locally sourced Breads and other carby treats, like Soft Pretzels and Sticky Buns from Roberta's, that you can bag yourself, these items are pre-packaged and as you would imagine, selection is more limited. While there is a Bulk section, it's not as comprehensive as what you'll find at WF proper. Store is small, so avoid peak times unless you enjoy having no room to move. Unlike with nearby big sister WF in Gowanus, there is no parking lot. After one of my shopping trips here, a bunch of Grape Tomatoes in a container I'd bought were coated in a weird, moldy fuzz and some Brussels Sprouts were VERY discolored and ancient looking. Inspect your produce picks carefully. Overall Vibe: Lots of inspiration from Trader Joe's in terms of the layout and product displays, especially in the Frozen Foods section, plus the *mostly* perky, eager to help staff reminds me of T.J's big time. Punny sayings, posted accordingly throughout the store, seem to be targeting Millennials but what do I know? Just Kale Me, maybe? I'd be Berry happy if you did. Bottom Line: For me, coming here involves dragging my butt out of the house, or should I say, claustrophobic BK apartment, early on a weekend morning to avoid the afternoon crowds. But it's worth it to save some $$$ when I can swing it. ps: Text 'Join' to 365-65 if you want to sign up for the aforementioned Rewards Program before shopping here.

I liked this pared down Whole Foods. To be honest - if/when I did visit a regular Whole Foods store I usually veered towards the 365 collection... whether it be bottles of water or bags of pretzels. This new store in BK is bright and clean (you don't even feel like you're in a basement level store) and full of good stuff. Especially their fresh fruits/veggies section. I picked up the prettiest strawberries for $2, a gorgeous bunch of asparagus for $2.50 and a couple big ol' granny smith apples for less a couple dollars. Everything looked (and later tasted) so fresh! So glad this spot is here and easy to get to and full of economically fresh foods.

With Amazon, this Whole Foods 365 has just gotten worst, especially when it comes to the service. There are incredibly rude af Prime personal shoppers roaming around, making it congested and impossible to shop. One slammed her cart right into my ankle and no fucks were given. And the cashiers aren't any better, like tossing in the food, ripping frozen food items, etc. So this place isn't a grocery store, it's become a storage facility for online shoppers, making it crowded, poorly stocked , and an overall unpleasant place to shop. Grocery shopping shouldn't be such a nightmare.

I spent literally 25mins waiting on line! There is no reason to have 3 lines and only one line being called because there is 1 manager working the register and the 2nd cashier on bathroom break. This was the worst Wholefoods experience. They need an entire new staff working the registers. Unacceptable!

Couldn't possibly go back. 1. There are these personal shoppers that are rude as hell (not 100% of them) and make you feel rushed when looking on the shelves. Hate that 2. The lay out is insane. I get that its Brooklyn but that shouldn't matter. Your other stores arent like this. Impossible to find things, isles way to narrow etc. Need a lesson from trader Joe's 3. Largely out of essential items 4. No expertise... the staff doesnt even know what a chestnut is and seem lazy to inquire with a manager. Just not a good experience. We will stick with Trader Joe's!

No words can describe how excited I was when I heard a Whole Foods 365 store was coming to my neighborhood. Whole Food on the whole is very expensive but when I go there I only get the 365 brand which is a fraction of the cost and they come in a wide variety of products which I love. I couldn't help it I had to go there on opening day . Let's just say I got there around 6 in the evening the place was crowded everyone there was excited with anticipation and didn't know what to expect. I was totally impressed. The shelves were fully stocked and everything was well organized. The workers were quite helpful and busy making sure the shelves were always well stocked and everything was well organized and in place. Whole Foods 365 made me a happy shopper . Thanks and welcome to the neighborhood you will definitely be seeing more of me.

I finally had a chance to check out this wholefoods location and was surprised by the reasonable prices. The freezer/refrigerated sections were full of options with a rather large ice cream selection and a decent amount of vegan options. My only complaint would be their bulk section is lacking in comparison to their other locations, but they have the basics. I would frequent this location because of convenience (it's a block from the Atlantic Ave/Barclay Center terminal) and the wide open space during off-peak hours. Overall, it's a nice shopping experience until you get to the check out line. They're rather slow so it's best to shop when you're not in a rush or you'll become quite annoyed from the wait.

Great if you like to admire empty shelves. Sweet Baby Jesus, it's a mess. They should have foreseen that entitled Brooklynites would want to sit on their butts at home while folks did their shopping for them. Every day it's an empty wasteland. Why they use this and not a warehouse to fulfill online orders is a mystery. Stay away because you will be disappointed.

The service here is horrible. Long wait on lines. I don't understand how they haven't figured out how to program the lines yet! One line is called more than others while the other lines are long. There are enough cashiers so they need to figure this out! The cashiers are not paying attention. Two times that I was there, I was charged the same items twice. Customer service is too busy chatting with other workers and ignoring customers. Too many deliveries in the store that creates overcrowded in the lanes. They bumped into you constantly without even acknowledging. Everyone in this store needs to be trained on customer service!

This is the first 365 location on the East Coast, so I'm hoping they'll open a few more. The store has a limited selection on items, compared to Whole Foods, but it's still comparable to most supermarkets like Key Food and Trader Joe's. Some of the 365/branded items are $0.30-1.00 cheaper but don't expect a drastic discount. I do appreciate the Members Program, which provides 10% off on select items (the list rotates!) as well as other limited-time coupons (they're VERY limited-time, the last one expired in two days) they'll text/email you. It's definitely not as fun as shopping at Trader Joe's since they have DeKalb Market right outside, but there are numerous cafes and restaurants nearby, not to mention an Apple store next door!

I have a love and hate relationship with my local 365. On one hand, I love how reasonable the prices for most items are at 365. For example, you can get sliced pork belly for $4.99 a pound or organic strawberries on sale for $2 a box. On the other hand, I also hate how often items are out of stock at this location, especially for items that are on sale. I would sometimes visit twice within a week and yet they still haven't restocked items I was looking for. If you are expecting the same experience as a full size Whole Foods, then you will sure be disappointed. However, if you are just there to shop for basic grocery items, you should be fine. Just know that there will likely be items on your grocery list that's out of stock.

Whole Foods market is my touchstone. I love shopping here and find the same impeccable quality as every other Whole Foods. I enjoy the fact that the escalator deposits shoppers right at the produce section. This is just the place for health conscious cooks to start the grocery shopping process. I find what look interesting and build our meals around the veggies. It's fun to try new products. We brought home the most amazing fruit called SUNGOLD. It is the most delicious kiwi type fruit I have ever tasted! The store is easy to maneuver and everyone seems very happy here. The checkout line is a bit cumbersome but everyone really seems to be in a very good mood. The lines really move quickly. Plus the other shoppers seem to like checking out what everyone is buying. So far, the lines have not bothered me at all. If I could change one thing, it would be to get rid of the decrepit glossy magazine at the check out line. Put in some kids books instead. I'd put things people could use but might have not given much thought. Maybe some unique fruit, healthy cookies or juice that might pique the interest of children in the checkout line. I'm just saying this could be part of the shopping process. The smoked salmon is unbelievable. Highly recommend. I'll probably see you tomorrow.

It's useful if you're in a pinch, but the customer service is truly dire. I wouldn't even attempt to call them idiots, that implies the existence of some form of mental capacity, albeit minimal.
