Locol Joins With Whole Foods for Next Location | Eater SF

"At 777 The Alameda, the San Jose Whole Foods Market already operates a coffee and juice bar and the Floodcraft Brewing taproom, and I learned that Whole Foods regional marketing coordinator Nick Heustis said Locol will take over an area in the store’s kitchen to prepare its full menu and serve customers in the prepared foods area as well as via a pass-through window to the taproom. Whole Foods regional president Rob Twyman said the retailer is excited to partner with Chefs Roy and Daniel to offer Locol’s fast, health-conscious food and its mission to improve food access to the community." - Caleb Pershan

We stopped here to get food and beverage for our work week stay in the area. Great selection of produce and l loved getting local grown height red tomates. Yes I am willing to pay a little more for the small farms. We found marinated tandorri chicken and my favorite marinated rotisserie chicken. We found some new lemons with funky fingers to be used for zest. Very cool. We also found some beautiful flowers to decorate our rental place. Great selection today of Zevia soda, sparkling water, and wines. There were so many yogurts. We had a hard time deciding which one to get, but shows the Greek organic one Excellent service today by GIO in produce. we had great checkout service with NATALIE and MIA. We also found some fresh cod but will be back in a few days to make sure we get it extra fresh. Excellent selection of fresh herbs, including cilantro and parsley. We found several types of cheese, including package, shredded cheese and cut chunks of Parmesan Reggiano and blue cheese. For dessert I found my fav Lilys chocolate bars and pumpkin ice cream Accessible entry with automatic doors. The venue is accessible with wide aisles signage for departments is very large and readable aisle markers are dark signs with small white letters fairly readable. The background music is soft and not distracting Van accessible, free parking in dedicated lot with no curbs. Posted 2 hour limit. EV chargers on site. Amazon return center Accessible restrooms with heavy door and mostly hands-free operation.

Whole Foods is my comfort grocery store and this one is a notch above many other Whole Foods. I love the outdoor seating area.

This wholesfood is smaller that the one in Cupertino or Santa Clara but plenty of option for Salmon. Also there is no parking issue on weekend.

This Whole Foods is very different from the ones we’re used to- their customer service is poor. We did go around 7pm on a sunday for pizza. They had 2 cheese pizzas- one was old and dry, and the other was burned. I didn’t take a photo sadly. When we asked them to make a new pizza due to the burned one , and they don’t have a microwave, they laughed at us incredulously. We then spent about 25 minutes chasing their supervisor , being told a new one is being made - it not being made, then being told to chase customer service etc… you get the gist. They first laughed at us and then lied to us, all while our little toddlers waited for pizza 🍕 & refused to eat anything else. Sigh.

Impatient staff They hired bunch of young college kids, who doesn’t wanna work. I wanted them to cut a whole chicken for me. I said it twice and i was loud and clear that i want the skin to be off and the pieces to be small. The guy who did even checked with me twice that if i wanted the skin to be off. AND HE DELIBERATELY DID THIS Looked like he was already upset with work. I dont know if they are making them over work or paying them less

This place is has always been a delight to visit, with prices going up it is harder to shop at “whole paycheck”, what makes it worth it is the cleanliness and the warm customer service. today was a bit different. “E” , one of the cashier was a bit rude, she caught her error and started being nice again. Will come back but I had never experienced that type of talk here.

Huge Whole Foods location with a large prepared foods buffet area. We found all the ingredients to cook a fancy meal. Produce is organic or higher quality here, and more expensive. Amazing selection

The food tastes so good. Tofu and sesame combo keeps fresh flavor in a vegetarian tofu/turkey. I visited here for the best in life because I know what my money is worth. Exceptionally priced cold tofu. The service was warm and friendly for me and my evening meal selections. The ambiance is very human and raw with a city atmosphere of good people who are serving the greater public space. Keeping any unwanted sadness or loneliness at bay. I'm dreaming of this place where I have always enjoyed my bike rides. I liked my slice of pumpkin pie and especially a gift today with Vitamin Zero Water ASCU style.

I've been to this whole food more times than I can count and it's hit & miss. The burrito/bowl station is closed for weeks on end, opens back up for a while, and then closes again. The sandwich station isn't as unreliable but it's closed regularly. The hot food station has a good selection of food normally but randomly some days there's hardly anything there. The premade sandwiches just aren't good compared to other Whole Foods. Sometimes I get one that the bread is soggy. Luckily the sushi is always reliable This is a small WF so the selection is limited. I like the separate coffee and smoothy shop. The attendant who works there on Friday is really nice. The parking lot is tight -- I try to park on the street.

Love to come to this whole foods and enjoy a quick bite with some friends + they have a good variety of beers and ciders upstairs to sip on, on the upstairs patio. You can shop and bring stuff from the grocery store upstairs to enjoy as well! ( i love their pizza, always a good variety to choose from) Parking is not too difficult. Service is good and fast !

The three stars is for the empty shelves in the fruits and vegetables area. When comparing this Whole Foods store with the following surrounding grocery stores: North of Whole Foods are Sprouts, Trader Joes,, and Target South of Whole Foods are Safeway + Smart & Final East of Whole Foods are Grocery Outlet + Cardenas And further West are Zanottos and La Plaza Out of these ten stores in the area, Whole Foods is often the store which is most likely to have empty vegetable and fruit shelves after 8pm. The picture shows how bare the shelves were again. Sometimes shopping at one of the altetnative grocery stores above becomes necessary after leaving this Whole Foods location, in order to get the right fruits and vegetables. These empty produce shelves at this Whole Foods location seems to have gradually increased in frequency over the last few years, as more and more residential buildings have been constructed in the surrounding neighborhood, and as more people have moved in. The total amount of shelf space allotted towards fruits and vegetables might now be too small for the neighborhood. There is also space near the bananas where they chill individual beer cans. But the beer cans don't seem to sell out as much as their veggies. There's also shelf space near the peaches, where they put nuts and dried fruit, but the nuts and dried fruit don't seem to sell out as much as the peaches and berries. I think the nuts and beer might be duplicated in other aisles at this store. There also might be some allocation issues, as the bok choy cabbage, the parsnips, and the regular green cabbage do not sell out as often as the broccoli and strawberries, but there's still ample space allotted for them last night. I'm guessing that the bok choy cabbage being sold there has the heavy white stalks which are not as popular now, as maybe the amaranth greens are in the Indian grocery stores, the water spinach is in the Vietnamese grocery stores, or maybe the different pepper varieties are in the Mexican grocery stores.

Love this Whole Foods! So convenient that there's one in downtown and I come here often for groceries, especially the $12 Amazon Prime deal for a dozen oysters on Fridays. They also have coffee and beer located next door too! Nothing bad to say about this location.

Whole Foods never disappoints. The store is always super clean and well-organized, with fully stocked shelves and an amazing variety of everything you could possibly need--whether you're planning a full-on dinner or just grabbing a quick bite. From fresh produce and quality meats to ready-to-eat hot meals, snacks, and drinks, they've got it all covered. The staff is always helpful and friendly, and I really appreciate how they support the local community--those endcaps featuring local products are one of my favorite things to browse. The whole vibe of the place makes you want to try something new every time you go in. It's honestly hard to walk out without picking up a few extras. If you're into good food and good vibes, this is your spot.

Who doesn't love Whole Foods? I mean seriously what is there not to like???? Fresh for food bar, fresh bread, fresh baked goods, fresh squeezed juices, omg not to mention the pizza (my favorite) . I don't go to whole Foods very often but when I do I'm never ever disappointed. Not sure if everyone knows but most locations have a bar area. Great drinks, tv's and you can order food. It's like a mini sports bar. Now everyone knows that Whole Foods is nick named "Whole pay check" and it's the perfect nickname name. It definitely isn't a place for people who don't want to spend a lot on groceries. Oh, and the floral section is filled with a plethora of beautiful flowers and plants. All in all , Whole Foods is a great place to shop if you live the finer things and you're not on a strict grocery budget .

Smaller Whole Foods location but conveniently located in downtown SJ and huge parking lot which is a plus. Everything was well stocked and seems like a more casual environment where you can grab your own slice of pizza in the hot foods section. Amazon return drop off is also very convenient.

I've never been to a Whole Foods and walked to the one in San Jose. It was ok, but truly pricey! I did like the wide variety of hot food options but again pricey. The service was average and it just seemed unwelcoming. But, that said, I will go try another location and see if it any better

This is mostly for the checkout experience. The cashiers always fail to give me my reusable bag discount. Last time I brought 3 reusable shopping bags and I didn't get any credits! What was I supposed to do - walk back in there and ask for 15cents back? That would make me look like an egregious penny pincher. However i do think they should follow state law and provide customers with the discount they are entitled to for bringing their own bag! I understand if it happens now and then - I'm willing to chalk that up to the hecticness of the job. But the fact that it's consistent shows that they just don't care about the enticement; just charging their ridiculous prices.

A couple of months ago on a late Friday afternoon, my husband decided to get a dozen of raw oysters for $12. The only guy working at the seafood counter made a loud bang at the counter right after my husband politely asked if he could have the oysters shrunk. He looked like he just totally lost it for a moment. The Friday before, I went up to the pizza counter and I was the only customer there. There were two employees talking to each other inside the pizza area and there were two more employees talking to each other at the deli counter next to them. They were talking among themselves loudly but they have never tried to look at the customer - me for a second while I was waiting behind the counter for almost 10 minutes. I guess I was actually lucky as that I was able to order a pizza and picked it up after 10 minutes. Last Friday, I wanted to grab a pepperoni pizza after I picked my son up from practice around 6:10 pm. and there was a line in front of the pizza counter. I joined the line and waited for a while, the employees talked among themselves as usual. And then I realized the guy in front of me left without anything. Then I walked up and the employee did not even say anything to me until I asked her if I could get a pepperoni pizza. Then she mumbled something softly that I could not make out of. Eventually, I figured she was saying that she will no longer take any more pizza order. I was like great, why didn't you just let us know when we formed that line! Today is a Friday again, I am hosting a sleepover at home so I decided to go get a couple of pepperoni pizza again. I was the only customer at the pizza counter again at almost 10 am. This time the employee came up and told me how I had to wait until he filled all the emptied pizza pans before he could take my order He also told me to come back after 10:45 am. I don't know why they can't just clearly mark out what hours customers can place pizza order if there's so much limitations! I don't even dare to try the $12 dozen oysters anymore. The oysters we got last time were all butchered (not shrunked but the meat were cut away from the shells) and with sand and bits of shells. The employee left us something that looked like tiny crabs inside a few of the oysters, how thoughtful! I brought oysters from the Whole Foods from Almaden SJ area once like two summer ago and they were full of shell bits too but the employees were friendly at least. This is driving me nuts, at 11:00 am on the same Friday I am back to the pizza counter after I was turned away at almost 10 am. The same guy told me he can't take my order now either because he is going to lunch and that's why he asked me to come back at 10:45 am sharp!!! This time I am losing it!!! Am I working here or he is?? He kept telling the deli employee that he needs to go to lunch but she just wouldn't respond to. Now this guy is throwing a tantrum, walking back into the pizza area and started making pizza while making super loud banging noises constantly. This Whole Foods is scary! I don't know if it's safe anymore and I am now talking to the customer service. I can't believe this is happening! Think twice before you come in to this Whole Foods. This is so sad because this is my neighborhood Whole Foods and my husband actually likes their pizza.

I like the seafood counter at this Whole Foods so much that I actually called Whole Foods corporate to tell them that . The fish is so consistently good; especially the marinated salmon (honey sriracha especially), and the people who work at the counter are so consistently nice. The rest of the store is nice and clean and always well stocked, and I love me a Whole Foods in general, but the seafood counter here is a real stand out.

Just a quick review. This is the closest whole foods by my house. There's other grocery stores closer. But only whole foods sells Guittard chocolate chips at such a low price. Each bag was only $8.03. Normally they cost 10 to 13 dollars. Unless you are lucky enough to find them on sale. These are some of the best chocolate chips to use when baking. Also the parking is great for a downtown location.

I just want to give this Whole Foods a shout out. Thank you folks for keeping this place clean and functional despite the challenges of downtown San Jose and the homeless. When the Cupertino Whole Foods is famous for repeated rat infestations...as a sensible consumer, you want clean food. I mean...hell, you're paying Whole Paycheck prices! With that, I want to give Mitch, the cashier, a huge shout out. We both tripped out that I had 5 items for under $15 and he joked, "do you want to keep the receipt to frame?" Hahaha. Thank you 50% off promos galore. Seriously, in year of our Lord in 2025 on this May 9th, Friday, I walked out with a giant family sized salad, a some bok choy for noodles later, an avocado, mango AND a caprese sandwich. $15. Wow. Just wow.

Just like other people's experience, it was all about the awful customer service. I ordered the cake for pickup on a Saturday morning through Amazon. I know I could have done a pickup if they had extra cakes already made on display, but you never know if they run out during a holiday; I started ordering before as a practice no matter what after the Campbell site told us to order because they had incidents running out. You would think all sites would have the same practice because it's all big red tape Amazon now. Ordering the cake and picking up was fine at Alameda site! It's just that when I arrived, I marked on the app that I'm arriving within five minutes. I was just a few minutes late due to traffic road closure for Cinco de Mayo. I arrived to the bakery and no one was there to assist. I had to ask help at the Deli. Someone then check the fridges and came back telling me to check with Customer Service. Whoever was the supervisor on a Saturday had the quintessential Mean Girls, passive aggressive attitude...for a man. I asked about the cake and he said they had to send it back into the bakery because "[I] was late." Who says that to a customer? So they had to bring the cake back to customer service from the BAKERY! They couldn't have given it to me when I was initially there? The associate was a nice lady that handed me the cake, but I feel bad for the workers that deal with horrible supervisors with customer service. Safeway and Costco never had this problem making things easier for the customer. I guess really big red tape Amazon made working at Whole Foods worse, having to deal with awful mangers that kissed asses upward. I suppose being a supervisor at Whole Foods, there's no need to use your brain, and then yell at your reports when things mess up.

I've come to this location a couple times now and the staff are always so friendly! Lots of parking. I like to come here for the Friday oysters and they never disappoint. Kumamoto oysters are the best! There's lots of variety here with a pizza bar, sushi, and more! They have many local brands that surprised me too. They always have limited cashiers, but the self checkout is quick and easy. Be sure to scan your Amazon in-store code for discounts :)

I was not able to find on the website or in store that your meat or seafood department closes before 10. What time does your meat department close? If your meat counter closes before 9, please put a sign then no one would bother you. I came here on a Friday night after work at around 9 to get some groceries. While standing in front of the meat counter, the guy working behind the counter ignored us for 5 minutes, simply just start the cleaning process while all the meats are still out there. We had to catch another employee in the seafood session, who is not very pleased either as judged by the way of him throwing the meat on the scale and did not react at all after we showed our appreciation. I guess I am just paying for the quality but 0 service. I think I will just go to another whole food store...

This location offers a great selection of food, similar to other Whole Foods venues I've visited. Having a brewery connected to it is a unique and cool feature, making it a great spot to meet up before catching a San Jose Sharks game. One thing to note: the entrance to the parking lot isn't very clear on Google Maps, so finding it might take a little extra attention.

I have been a customer of this location for many years- since it has opened. Once COVID happened I rarely would venture into the world. My husband did all the grocery shopping since then. Yet every once in a while I will venture into the world! I stopped to have lunch on the terrace patio. It's been a few months since I made the same move to have lunch and then shop! I went to the upstairs terrace where you can enjoy the beautiful weather, amazing music and such a friendly staff! Benny was the best. He remembered me from my last visit. He was so kind and welcoming! On a weekday afternoon there are so many choices for places to enjoy a simple lunch and a cold beverage but nothing like having someone so genuine, kind and AWESOME as Benny!

I try to come here as often as I can to purchase the meats and seafood they offer because of the quality. In saying that its only when I can get actual service from anyone. Countless times I have stood in line for several minutes waiting for a "team member" to arrive. When the meat has staff the seafood side doesn't or vice versa they literally show "that's not my department or not my job look" because they will stand there and watch you wait for help. If you ask them for help they will just tell you they will get someone to help and you would still have to wait. This just shows that the higher ups dont know how to train the staff and never have enough hands on deck. Management definitely needs to start showing better leadership and set an example of how to run a business. Also the "team leaders " as they like to call them need to start working on the heavy traffic hours instead of working early to go home. This just shows poor management. I'll just make the effort to stop coming here and go to the store in Blossom Hill.

I literally come here once a week since it's near my school and workplace. I love their hot bar! I just wish that they would switch up the menus sometimes since it's always the same food and has been for a long time. Other than that, I love their foods. I always get their Indian veggie curry thing cuz it's so yummy with a small spoonful of lemon rice: today; I got that, plus their 8-way bbq chicken, chicken enchilada; and garlic cauliflower. Yum! Easy self serve food bar and kiosks! Efficient.

Whole food market in Fremont is awesome 。 I enjoy their food like salad bar , varsity of soups that are made daily , sushi and pizza , etc . All kinds of cooked food or raw meat and seafood . I also love their organic vegetables , canned food , dried pastas . In major holidays , they have new supplies of flowers and gift baskets , Christmas we can order turkey , ham and other meals for family gatherings. Of course we cannot forget their wine and cheese selections. Great customer service. Friendly and with good choice of any items they sell !

I have always loved this particular Whole Foods Market it's on a corner a couple blocks away from the SAP center. They have a very cute outdoor patio area as well as their own coffee shop drink/smoothie and bar available! I love getting a piece of pizza and going out and sitting in their patio area! Even though this whole foods isn't as large as others they still have all the main things! Everything's incredibly fresh and parking might suck, but everyone is super friendly inside! Lol it's also a few blocks away from my favorite vegan burrito place, Cafe Roselinda! Plus they have this amazing Florentine burrito with sautéed mushrooms, eggs and mashed potatoes! Goodness, it's delicious! I wasn't always vegan. Hee

First a few positives: Good location, cool building, and very open as far as whole foods goes and they dropped all the Covid nonsense, masks and face shields etc. Cons: Look if I am going to drop my "whole paycheck" on food at least make it good and fresh. The food bar is extremely pricey and has the same thing every time I go there. Showed up on a Friday at 6 PM getting out of the gym and everything has been picked clean. No new food and what's left is the crappy stuff that nobody eats that's dried out and crusting over. I imagine it sucks to work here, but the employees aren't super friendly. The Amazon return guy was nice. Could be a lot better.

Came by the other day to grab some snacks and it was a mediocre experience. Parking was available in the private lot or on the street. During my late afternoon visit, there was a minimal selection of hot food at the buffet. In addition, there was an extremely light selection of baked pastries although the cake display was about half full. Staff wore a Whole Foods apron and some wore blue gloves. Check out was easy, similar to Europe, with mainly self-checkout stands with one employee monitoring from a few feet away.

So I had a previously unfinished review. I'm glad I never published it. There's always different types of food but a staple for us has always been the Chantilly cake. If you want to up your cake game a bit and enjoy a soft, moist, white cake with fruit.. it kinda looks like this emoji

I usually shop at the Blossom Hill Whole Foods, but sometimes stop by here on my way back from work. I've noticed that this Whole Foods has terrible service. I also don't like how there's always solicitors outside, but I guess that's probably outside of the company's control. Anyway, 99% of the time my interactions with grocery store clerks at any place are uneventful, but I've noticed that the clerks here are typically pretty rude! A while back I was buying frozen shrimp and the clerk just stared at me after she scanned it and stated "this shrimp is THIRTY DOLLARS???" like she was judging me for buying it?? Yes I know Whole Foods is overpriced but... why?? The rest of the encounter was awkward and she had a bad attitude in general. A few weeks ago, the clerk (not the same one) was just really rude and abrupt to me. She didn't say anything out of the ordinary but was just very stern and it left a bad aftertaste. Like, after I pulled out my credit card when the machine said to remove the card, she shouted "PUT YOUR CARD BACK IN!" The employees at the Blossom Hill location are much nicer. Actually, I'm going to write a positive review of that store right now to balance out this one. One star for the bar, though.

This Whole Foods store is almost as good as any other, although a bit small since it's in the city. When you put it in on the GPS, remember to turn right at the light to get into the small parking lot, otherwise you may miss it! I've come here a couple of times, and this review is mainly for the sandwiches, which are $10 each. They always last me two meals as they're dense. The Golden Gate sandwich is absolutely delicious. Think of all the flavors you'd want out of a savory deli sandwich but better because of the Dutch crunch bread. The ham and brie sandwich is great too. You can taste the mustard, jam, brie, and the many many layers of ham. They don't skimp on arugula; it's my favorite because the bitterness compliments the other salty, rich ingredients and adds freshness to the sandwich. You can't go wrong with these but the only improvement I have is to spread out the staffing because my sandwiches have taken 25-30min to create each time. I'd especially be cognizant of rush meal times; there's always been groups of people waiting whenever I come by.

Came here for lunch as it is close to the office and quick grab and go lunches are hard to come by in DT San Jose. The grocery store is nice and plenty of selection, but their grab and go lunch items are a little to be desired. The salad bar is sparse with not much selection and the sandwhich counter is meh... there was only 1 person working today and to their credit they were doing the best they could, but SLOW. Halfway through making it, they left and another person came in and I needed to start over. Keep in mind this is a premade sandwhich option they have listed, oh, and the best part, they don't have half of the ingredients. Needless to say made for a super dry meal, but it was a fresh meal. In short, drive the extra 7 minutes to Zanattos if you have time as this is not my favorite.

I needed some baking powder. Safeway and a local market, Lion, do not stock it. And I am not adventurous enough to make my own. But when I visited Whole Foods, I found it, Rumford, not Clabber Girl, but at least they stock it. In fact I can find most items, especially vegetables and fruit here. Not to forget the great selection of meat, fish and poultry available. Besides, I like checking out the huge exploded shark painted on the wall next to the parking lot.

Today I was there for a quick healthy meal at 1 pm and had difficulty scanning the buffet meal. First I went up to a guy at the customer service and he pointed out go to self checkout or a checkout with an employee scanning for you. I ended up going to self checkout because I saw a woman Standing there to help people. When I ask for help she said vey minimum "just scan it". I accidentally scanned it twice then I asked her for help. Again very rudely she send to the guy at customer service. My god that guy was a mean person too. He made me say it was your mistake and I am fixing it. Whole Foods it is about time. Please teach your employees some manners .

I keep having the worst experience every time I check out when I have Fernanda as the cashier. She's extremely rude and always throws the groceries at checkout. Why would Whole Foods allow Fernanda as the face of this location given her rudeness. No hello no goodbye, just rudeness. If I continue to see her at the register I will stop coming to this location.

I went to this Whole Foods when SuperM came to San Jose at the SAP center. It was a great stop for food and drinks since we were very thirsty. We bought two chicken thighs, ribs, and a soy milk before our concert. I knocked off two stars because the ribs and thighs were so dry. It has been a while since we went, but I hope that the chicken and ribs gets less dry. The salad bar was very feasible. I don't know why but the boiled eggs were very attractive. As always though, it was fun browsing all the different foods, looking at all the different unique products that were there, and it was very clean. Whole Foods is known for its unique selection of groceries specializing from different regions and so on. There were also an interesting array of restaurants in the perimeter so it was also super fun exploring that before our visit to the SAP center.

This Whole Foods is nice, clean and easy to get in and out of. They have great service and the people are very genuine here. I like coming here because it is so easy to get in and out of.

I love Whole Foods. This is my favorite. It's just down the street from the car wash I love so it's perfect. The layout is easy to maneuver and the people are especially friendly. Even the parking lot is a lot easier than most. I love the smoked fish and produce. The bakery and deli counters are smaller than most Whole Foods. I have a suggestion, though. The roasted chicken is very expensive and it is not good. I don't especially like chicken ( I don't like it at all) but once in a while, I'd like to put some in soup. I bought a roasted chicken today and I was immediately reminded of everything I don't like about it. Strangely, this chicken is almost inedible. Other than recommending a new recipe for the the chicken, this is a pretty perfect grocery store. I love seeing the security people and always feel safe shopping here. Highly recommend..

I went here 3 times to drop off Amazon returns and pick up something for lunch. I knew the place was expensive and always packed, so figured the premade food would be good. WRONG! The first time I had a slice of pizza and it was awful. Foul tasting cheese, very little sauce and it had obviously been sitting out a very long time. I took a couple bites and gave the rest to my dog. So next time I decided to try an Empanada from the heat and serve items. I took one bite and threw it out. The meat was spoiled. There is no mistaking the taste of rotten meat. Third time was definitely not a charm. I got popcorn chicken and it was very dry, tough and stringy. I took a bite and gave the rest to my dog, and he took a bite and walked away. This says alot because my dog is NOT a picky eater. Over priced, rotten food..I won't be back!

Whole Foods did respond and I sent them a copy of my receipt. They said the copy was either too blurry or hard to read. I sent a copy to myself and all you have to do is zoom in and it's perfectly clear. When using an EBT card (for example, Safeway) they tally up everything on the moving belt like normal. On the receipt, it tells you the SNAP (EBT-only food items) and if you have any non-food items the cashier will ask you to swipe your debit/credit card or pay by cash. No problem but Whole Foods just displayed a debit amount of $9.83 and didn't explain or show what this $9.83 was for. We went back and forth and gave up out of frustration. Let them keep the $9.83! Now I see how Whole Foods/Amazon conglomerate has ruined a once fantastic store. I will not shop there any longer.

this amazon prime store sucks. no one that works there wants to be there. Store is horribly designed, hot bar looks like week old hospital food, its seriously disgusting. There are always solicitors outside trying to get your attention, making the experience of walking in or walking out extremely discomfortable.

Prepared foods was disappointing. I was anticipating moving out of state with my child so I didn't get a change to order our holiday dinner on time. I tried to explain this to the manager (Pablo) who coldly told me I could just put a turkey dinner together if I want but other than that he couldn't do anything else. This is very typical of my experience at this location with almost every team member there. Unhelpful and unwilling to even try. Disappointing especially as a single parent on the holidays. Already spread thin, trying to get things together, and there is just zero compassion , empathy, or good customer service anymore. I'll never order food here again.

Covid-19 review: staff are taking a lot of great precautions to allow us a safe shopping experience. Limiting how many people goes in and out. Line outside with 6 feet distancing. Providing disinfectant wipes for carts and masks for those who don't have any. I generally love this Whole Foods. I come here to shop, drink, do homework, and now to return my Amazon orders as well. Store is always clean, staff is always awesome.

I absolutely love Whole Foods and I only gave this location 4 out 5 stars because this location is small and is not as consistent as other Whole Foods on what they offer. They do a fantastic job of maintaining social distance at this location and sanitize and the carts, baskets, and self check outs between each use. The associates are friendly and helpful. While they do have a limited selection compared to other locations it does have pretty much everything you need and let's be honest... If they don't have it then you don't need it. HAHA They accept Amazon returns at this location as well.
