This one supermarket become my favourite, why? Because they sell fresh food too!! Like fresh daily hot food and fresh daily cold food. They got soo much prepacked cold food too! This July they got promotion until 15 July, for snacks and ice cream!! Actually this promotion start from 25 June until 15 July 2025. Specially if you are prime members, so you got more discount! For ice cream with prime members got 50% off, and 44% off without prime While for Snacks : kettle, Late July, Cape Cod, snack factory and synders of hanover got 33% off, and 25% off without prime. So you got to visit this supermarket before 15 july to get the promo! Its almost summer, stock all the ice creams!!

First time being in ANY Whole Foods market. It's on another level. If you can imagine a larger Traders Joe or maybe Bristol Farms, then you'd understand. The hot food/ bakery section really impressed me. Wished I work closer to this market, because I'd be ordering lunch there everyday. The palm reader payment is something I've never seen before. See image. I'll need to read up more on it. Just very a different payment method, so that makes it interesting. The only con is that it is more expensive than a normal supermarket (Ralphs, Vons, etc) because their focus is on organic food offerings.

Definitely go when people are at work if you can. Other than that Whole Foods doesn't miss. Produce was second only to farmers markets. And the Healthy choices as far as grocery products can't be beat by Vons, Ralphs nor Sprouts. To my surprise , the pricing was extremely competitive and in some cases better than the surrounding grocery stores for superior choices! I wish I lived closer as I would sole source this place for groceries.

I was excited to come here, as we dont have a whole foods that is conveniently located where I live. But I was quickly disappointed. In not only how high the prices were, but some of the produce being bad. It was a no for me, probably because of the vast amount of people here alone. If I could have found the coffee creamer I wanted somewhere else, I would have not purchased anything. But my friend also wanted some produce and a couple other items here. I am pretty frugal on many things, so the prices alone were a turn off for me. Makes me thankful I have other options at home.

Concern Regarding Manager Behavior Toward Young Black Employee at Whole Foods Pasadena Dear Whole Foods Customer Service, I’m writing to express my concern about an incident I witnessed at your Pasadena location on Rosemead Blvd and Foothill Blvd. On [10/8/2025] around 11 a.m, I visited the store to return an Amazon package using the self-service kiosk. After dropping off my package, I realized I had forgotten to attach the return label. I approached a young employee named Nikki, who appeared to be new but was incredibly kind and professional. She immediately tried to assist me and asked her manager, Sonny, for help in accessing the return box. Unfortunately, Sonny responded in a very disrespectful and dismissive manner. He raised his voice at Nikki, refused to make eye contact, and gestured rudely instead of speaking to her directly. His tone and body language were unnecessarily harsh, especially considering Nikki was simply trying to help a customer. I was shocked by how he treated her and asked what was going on. Nikki, trying to stay calm and professional, said she would take care of it herself. She then went out of her way to help me, even attempting to access the box on her own. Throughout the interaction, Sonny continued to act hostile and refused to answer my questions, instead gesturing toward Nikki without speaking. I was deeply disturbed by the way Sonny treated Nikki. She is a young Black woman who was doing her best to assist a customer, and the manager’s behavior felt belittling and overpowering. Whether intentional or not, it came across as discriminatory and demeaning. I want to commend Nikki for her grace and professionalism under pressure. She deserves support and respect, not hostility. I hope Whole Foods takes this complaint seriously and ensures that all employees — especially those who are new or from underrepresented backgrounds — are treated with dignity and respect. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Edmond Khachi

I moved to California last year and quickly became a loyal customer of this store. I shop here almost every week, mainly because it provides the best fresh chicken liver, whole milk, and eggs for my young child. However, I just had another extremely unpleasant experience at the meat counter. A thin young man, wearing a small cap and black-rimmed glasses, mocked me with a customer because of my poor English. He may not have realized that I could understand part of what he said. The last time, he joked with a coworker, but this time he kept chatting with a female customer during my visit—and she even looked at me twice while they were talking. What made me even more upset is that I later saw a review from another customer describing the same employee as rude and dismissive, even though the customer had spoken clearly and correctly. That’s when I realized—I really need to write a review about my own experience. I am a depression survivor of 20 years, still living with many aftereffects. Every day I push myself to live strongly, for my child’s sake. But this time, I drove home with tears in my eyes that I couldn’t hold back, and even now, I cannot calm down. Perhaps this incident will motivate me to keep learning English, no matter how difficult it is. But I wonder—can anyone truly understand how hard it is for someone battling severe brain fog to learn a new language? —— Translated in GDP AI

Extremely clean market. Meat section, while more pricey than traditional market, everything is super fresh and looks beautiful. Incredible selection of beer and wine. I love how they organize their wine, so easy to find my favorite, Malbec. Everyone very nice as well.

Love their fresh seafood selections! Prices are pretty fair for sustainable fresh seafood. You may get lucky and get some sale discounts, especially if you have Amazon Prime. The bakery is a gem. Lots of great selections. The birthday cakes are so yums. Highly recommend the fruit tart pies!
