Whole Foods Market

Love this place! The best organic store in Honolulu. I live closer to the down to earth however I’d much rather come here. Their selections of the veggies, fruits, meats, and seafoods are huge and always fresh. Even cheese, they got a huge selection and they will let you taste any of the cheese they have to offer.
Sushi is good too, and their burritos station and pizza corner. Everything is great at this place. I’d shop here everyday if I didn’t go bankrupt… lol

With whole foods, you know what you are getting, quality and healthy foods but you do get what you pay for. You will probably end up paying $ 100 or more.
I go here because my son is gluten free and dairy free. They offer frozen pizza and chicken nuggets and fish sticks that look like the normal glutinous food and taste just like it too.
I wish there was a location on the west side. I try to limit my shopping days here to once a month because of the location. The parking also sucks. I probably usually circle for 5 – 10 minutes and if I don’t find a stall I end up parking by Macy’s and CPK.
There’s a lot of different kinds of food you can choose from if you don’t want to make your own assorted hot plate. There’s pizzas, sandwiches, burgers, and my favorite is the burrito bar. They stuff the burrito with meat, veggies, or chicken and you can fill it with the usual burrito veggies like tomatoes. Ask for the fire sauce. adds a kick to it.

I like whole foods because it’s nice and the food always tastes good. They have a large selection of wine, which is why I went there, but their sushi and ice cream is good :) (but it is expensive)

There are only two main reasons why I’ve only checked this place out for the first time just this week. One: it’s clear across the island from where I live and Two: I worked for Down To Earth where I was able to get all of my vegetarian and organic needs met every day. So now that my son will be attending St. Louis school, and has started summer school there this week, i’ve finally gotten the opportunity to check this place out. Frankly, my daughter and I have been here pretty much every day this week to explore what they have and there’s still so much to explore!
Yes, it’s pricey. But all organic health food stores are. Truthfully, WF salad and hot bar is actually cheaper than DTE. So are their coffees and smoothies. I do like their salad bar choices here, but I like DTE’s hot bar choices over WF. The smoked ahi at the salad bar and the miso eggplant are amazingly good! I love the many choices of greens too: spinach, nalo greens, arugula and more. Yummm.
Needless to say, the choices here are endless and everything we’ve tried so far has been divine! So glad that we’ll be able to come here often now.

4.5 stars. We got some 4/​$ 1 fresh corn ears the other day here — nice deal! What’s not to like about WF? Wonderful choices when most of my day to day food shopping happens at Safeway. Fresh produce section is awesome, lots of beer (and the like — wine & liquor) choices, cheese section is bountiful. Grab n go food area has lotsa choices but salad bar is really my jam! I feel so healthy when I make my own box o’ greens. Butcher has many welcome departures from the average grocery on Oahu. Grab a coffee and pastry here if you are tired of SBUX (which I am).
WF offers local choices when they can and I’m stoked on that.

This one is in Kahala Mall. Dropped by after Diamond head climbing. There are so many Japanese visitors, trying to decide what is good as souvenir for their family and friends.
They carry a lot of health supplements, organic food, local produce, fresh fish and meat. They are all very pricy as usual.
Yet, I love the ambiance. I found two kinds of Lehua honey, too. It was worth a trip!

While a little on the pricey side, the quality speaks volumes here! This place is ALWAYS busy with a courteous staff that strives to share a smile and greeting with every customer!
The salad bar is one of my favorite stops on Wednesdays. You also can’t go wrong grabbing a slice of pizza from the nearby counter where they create some awesome pies or you can custom order your own! Tip — Call ahead to get yours to go if you don’t want to wait!
I also love stopping by the Fresh Seafood section of the store where the arrangement of the local catch of the day is displayed with many other pond raised or wild caught fish from all over.
Try a free sample of the smoked fish! Ono-​lishious!

Everything about Whole Foods is amazing! I mean honestly, the location, the parking, the hours, the items, the everything! The only thing that isn’t amazing is your grand total after the cashier rings up your items!
They have this ready to eat buffet with all these yummy items to choose from! I believe there’s three line ups! And they have Bubbies homemade ice cream & a mini coffee shop! It’s really like a mini food court all in one area! I always end up being indecisive of what to get!
At the produce section they have some pre-​made meat that have been marinated or prepared for cooking! My boyfriend and I always grab a few items before we bbq.
The workers aren’t the nicest sometimes but it really depends when you go. I try not to go on the weekends because a lot of tourists go there too. But even with their unpleasant attitude sometimes they are still able to answer your questions.
I love their gluten free chocolate cake and their tres de leche cake! It’s not too sweet and very addicting!
One time my boyfriend bought a $ 16.00 pineapple ($ 7.99/lb). It was a hybrid pineapple and I was a little hesitant but it ended up being really sweet!
Be careful when coming in this grocery store because you might end up spending thousands of dollars!

Gosh, my review for this market is well overdue. um, it’s been at least 5 years since WFM opened this first one in Hawai’i. What was once the former site of locally owned Star Supermarket has been truly transformed into a haven for fresh, organic, locally-​sourced food stuffs mixed with popular Mainland brands.
We usually come here for their bakery, beers, salad bar or deli sections. But, today, we came into the market specifically for Bob’s Red Mill Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats. This market is the only market that consistently has this product in stock and sells it at only $ 6.49/bag. Okay, so, WFM tends to be slightly or more expensive than other local supermarkets but they really have an impressive assortment of good-​for-​you foods that are tasty, too.
As we browsed the store while clutching onto our bags of rolled oats, we were distracted by the locally smoked (Kiawe) meats. Now, I do remember mentioning in the past that it’s not a good idea to go marketing on an empty stomach or when hungry but, this morning, we had only eaten fruits because we had run out of oats (hence our visit). We were drawn by the delicious aromas to the counter like moths to a light source! Our eyes widened as we noticed items like smoked pork bellies, pork ribs, chicken and… beef brisket! Oh, they even had a plate lunch special which we declined as we decided to just order a pound of cut-​to-​order brisket. Our mouths were watering as the counter guy brought out the brisket and showed us its smoke ring as he proceeded to slice the brisket. As soon as the counter guy handed us our brisket slices, we headed over to the bakery section to pick up a loaf of sourdough bread. I planned to just throw some sandwiches together at home. We breezed through the checkout stand and dashed home.
We were a bit disappointed to find the brisket slices were thick-​cut and had a lot of fat. I suppose that it MAY have been our fault for not telling the carver to thinly slice rather than give us slabs. But, we did say we wanted to make sandwiches with the brisket. Nonetheless, we made our sandwiches and nearly finished the whole portion in one sitting.
This WFM is in our regular marketing rotation. We find the displays to be easy to read and well-​organized, their freshness of food stuffs are top notch, the employees are all quite helpful and friendly and we always find SOMETHING in this market. We always return for more.

Whole Foods Market is probably the healthiest grocery store in North of America (USA & Canada).
The products offered arise from the organic farming and are generally good qualities.
Because I like cooking and we are better served than by ourselves that I like buying foodstuffs and everything I need for home in WFM.
I take sometimes my lunchbox here.
This idea to compose my own box with good ingredients is awesome!
The variety and the quality of the food is good. The cook is okay and healthy.
We can also have a sit outside and eating.
The service is cool and sympathetic.
Prices are pretty expensive but sensible. We can make good deals like every stores.
Well stocked and clean, it’s a pleasure to walk and to shop here.
Healthy, good quality, fresh and tasty stuffs, I recommend this market for everyone who cares about his health, well-​health, lifestyle, vegans… Wel, everybody could be concerned.
* Whole Foods Market est un supermarché bio d’origine américaine présent aux USA, au Canada et au Royaume-​Uni.
C’est Naturalia/​La vie claire/​Bio c’ bon… en version plus grand et avec un choix largement supérieur à ceux de France.
La qualité des produits est dans l’ensemble très correcte.
Vous trouverez:
— des produits alimentaires (principalement): fruits & légumes frais, pains/​viennoiseries/​pâtisseries frais et industriels, des céréales en tout genres… Bref, beaucoup de nourriture.
— des produits cosmétiques
— des produits ménagers
— des produits hygiéniques
— des accessoires, des outils
— des produits pharmaceutiques
— des produits jardiniers
…
Vous trouverez également des produits «du monde» (Européen, asiatique, méxicain…).
Il y a un espace où vous pouvez vous restaurer (sandwichs, wraps, salades, soupes… Et leurs «supers healthy lunchbox»: vous choisissez la taille de votre box et vous la composez vous même avec des ingrédients de qualité et sains. Le prix est au poids).
Je le conseille vivement aux personnes qui se préoccupent de leur bien-​être, de leur hygièné de vie, qui prennent soin d’eux, aux Vegans…
En somme tous concernés ! ;)

How do the locals say? Onolicious?
I love the salad bar and sandwich counter here. The produce is often fresh and delicious. There is no shortage of product and you can basically find anything you’d ever want to eat here. I’ve even been lucky to find wild caught (or so they say) Salmon here.
I’d love to give them five stars but the truth is Whole Foods Market is just too expensive! From my experience, this location is much worse than the ones on the mainland. There is a cranberry juice sold here for $ 11 on sale that I buy for $ 5 at the Schofield Barracks Commissary. Same exact brand/​size. That alone is enough to make me rarely frequent this place.
All in all, I recommend going here for a lunch every now and again, but I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are looking to grocery shop on a budget.

My one of FAV place in Hawaii.
When I go there I always get same things;).
1)
I love da SIGNATURE CHEEP WINE! Da name is «THREE WISHES».
It is only $ 3.99! But not like a «TWO BUCK CHACK» but…;) still ok. If u buying one box, u can get 10%off. Good Discount!
2)
Italian Prosciutto!!!
Order to people for half pound. Sooo good!
Matching wiz WINE!
3)
There is Many Many Kind of Cheese by da Prosciutto n Ham. They have a Sample around there sometimes so we can try it!
4)
They have a OLIVE BAR.
I love da Garlic wiz Green Olive, Black n green Mix wiz Raisins, Red Bell Pepper Marinated etc… So good!
5)
Cheese wiz Truffles!
Was so ONO! Really love da cheese wiz Dat also put FIG! Omg…
Now there is BAR in da front so during I shopping my husband enjoy to drink over there! Haha
Cost little bit high but ten so FANCY MARKET! Love this place!

I cant believe I haven’t been to this grocery store! I LOVE IT!!!
been looking for healthy foods all in one place. whole foods is the place to be :) BUT, very pricey! they have everything as a regular grocery store would have, but healthier. and no GMO’s (so important) They even have a hot food section to go too if you get hungry and want to eat now :) from hot veggies to fruits. kind of pricey but you get to eat healthy for a good price, haha
It’s right in kahala mall. very big space. and alot of parking!

I come here to buy prociutto, cheese, and wine for myself which they have the best selections of, and fresh, organic fruits and veggies for my son!

FAIL! A few weeks ago i had what I thought was the best BLT ever. They used Japanese white bread, good bacon, massive amount of lettuce and tomatoe. A little pricey, but I dont mind paying if the food is good.
So this morning I decided to treat myself before church. Wow what a big difference! I got this smashed sandwich with very wilted lettuce and tomatoe! The amount of veggies was like half of my first sandwich!
To top off this experience the sandwich maker took at least 15 minutes to finish off this hot mess! Granted having only one sandwich maker slowed her down, but there wasnt any sense of urgency! One day Kahala Mall will wise up and provide better alternatives for dining.
Till then best you bypass WF and go to Subway!

Whole Foods has everything to wet my palate and leave me satisfied, but not feeling sick from over stuffing my face.
During lent this place has been my saving grace as I’ve given up meat and dairy. If you haven’t had a slice of their vegan pizza it is a must! They always try to have one pizza that is vegan with red onions, kalamanta olives, and tomatoes. The vegan cheese is gooey and salty like normal pizza and the crust is done fine and crisp. You can get one slice for $ 4 or two for $ 7. Clearly I do the two for $ 7 as I’m a growing girl.
Besides the vegan pizza, I love their hot and cold food bar. Here are some must tries:
Cold Bar:
–Cilantro Corn Salad is a crisp and refreshing salad with cilantro, lemon, and roasted corn
–Cabbage Salad usually done in a Chinese style with peanuts, black sesame seeds, and a sesame based dressing
–Beets seasoned with rosemary and honey
–Sweet potato mashed with coconut milk
and sugar. Topped with coconut flakes.
Hot Bar:
Everything! Lol…
The only thing I tend to stay away from is the chicken because chicken sitting on a hot bar tends to dry out.
Yesterday my sister got a watercress salad which she loved– this place is probably one of 3 places on the island you can get a watercress salad.
Lastly, but important because I LOVE soup, they have a great soup bar. My favorite would be the Thai Carrot Soup. Hot in temperature with the right amount of spice– this is a great buy if you want a quick carrot coconut curry fix mid day.
Yes, prices can be expensive $ 8.99lb for hot and cold bar, as well as $ 4.99 for soup, but it is hard to put a price on healthy cooking made with love and care.

I stated in my previous review that it’s amazing how you can come to Whole Foods to buy trail mix and somehow you leave spending $ 2,304,509.12. All that organic goodness sure can rack up a pretty little bill at check-​out! But in the past few months I’ve been designating WFKahala as a new go-​to spot for breakfast and coffee meetings. They’ve redone the outside with big wooden communal tables and it’s a great spot to work and people watch. It makes you realize how many people don’t work during the daytime and I often wonder what so many folks are doing with their lives… Early retirement from the start-​up? Sugar daddies galore? Just plain lazy and working off those couch potato abs with a walk around the mall? Someone share the details please!
In all seriousness though, Whole Foods Kahala is a superb spot to hang with a buffet of healthy and not-​so-​healthy breakfast fare right inside along with a pretty fab coffee bar that is so much better than Starbucks. The only thing we need now is a power source for when my laptop and iphone juice are running low, then we can move in permanently!

It’s the holiday season and I have to admit that, as a consumer, I am pretty darn thankful for Whole Foods Kahala.
I go to WF for some shopping needs, coffee in the morning and lunch when I forget mine or need something fast. Having visited them about once a week for a year, I can vouch for consistent customer service and product availability.
Some highlights:
— PukA’s bar is a new place to go to eat or drink in WF. Great spot for a local brew during pau Hana.
— wide variety of produce selection ranging from local to organic to conventional.
— pretty good weekly specials
— excellent samples that make shopping more fun!
— products that take care of the whole being in the whole body section
— an EXCELLENT return policy for food items that ensures your satisfaction
— $ 3.99 for a decent bottle of wine– heck yea!
I can understand why it is jokingly referred to as «whole paycheck» but I confident I can go to WF, have a great shopping experience and leave with healthy foods that actually are what they say on the package or sign.

Estos supermercados son food porn total. Todo perfectamente ordenado, todo lo que puedas imaginar, todo muy atractivo a la vista.
De precio un poco subido, pero para caprichos está muy bien.
Tienen parte de comida preparada que me dio la vida varios días.
Tienen zumos de elaboración propia, la comida, todas las frutas y verduras que te apetezca y además son superamables.
No pido más :)

I rate Whole Foods a 3. I totally wanted boycott them when they charged $ 13 for a case of water during a recent Hurricane. And I’m not a Heath food exclusive kind of person.
Nevertheless I find myself eating here over and over again. I take the kids after church. The pizza is cheap and a small salad plate is also.
I’ll buy those things here, but I won’t shop here regularly. I need my GMOs and junk food. lol.

We came to have lunch and do some groceries afterwards. So many choices at the salad bar. There are 3 – 4 rows of dishes to choice from.
$ 8.99 per pound or $ 7.99 on Wednesdays. It is so nice to know what we eat from here are organic and healthy.
Usually we would go to the Counter restaurant next door, but since their food have disappointed us lately, we decide to go to the salad bar at wholefoods. We service ourselves, and choice to have the food we want.

I love whole foods. I remember back in the day my co workers and I would walk during lunch to get the buffet. It was 8.99 lb with an array of options from mac&cheese, wings, falafels and etc. Turns out that every whole foods Ive been to whether it be New York, Virginia, and Boston the concept is all the same. It’s organic, some local, and natural foods.
This is an awesome large clean supermarket to purchase non gmo fruits and vegetables. They even offer recycled cosmetic bags, non chemical cleaning products to shampoo. I tend to purchase my bar leans flax capsules here as well.
I noticed their pizza station here is off the chain!!! One slice for four bucks and two for seven. I ended up with a pesto tomato slice and it was oh sooo goood!!! Why does pizza have to be so high in carbs and fat? Why? My slice was large with cheese, and the pesto was evenly spread. The crust was thick and crunchy with a mix of garlic and pesto. The tomatoes were fresh and juicy. It was gone in a matter of minutes. I’m getting myself worked up just thinking about it. lol
I’ll be back and this time I’m getting two slices!!! I’ll just incorporate running with my bootcamp class;).

I really like Whole Foods because they have lots of healthy whole foods! It is really fantastic when I’m trying to eat healthy because it’s just what I need. I have only been here for their fresh food bar. I love the large variety of local, vegetarian, and vegan food that are available. At $ 8.99 per pound, it is not too bad. Best is on Wednesdays when you get $ 1.50 off!
Tonight I chose a large box to fill of baked chicken, quinoa, Nalo greens, arugula, ginger tofu, and grape tomatoes. I also got a small box filled with Greek yogurt and fresh grapefruit, blueberries, strawberries, and watermelon. It is all self-​serve, so you have full control over what you get to eat.
I definitely must come back to check out their newest, Puka’s! It looks like a great place and I want to see what it’s all about. I stopped by too late tonight and last call was already over.
