Whole Foods Market

I have no complaints in this store except that the store is small and hence the offerings are less. Chicken I bought here are cut into smaller pieces like we wanted for curry.
Fruits and veggies are as good as any other WFM. Somehow Milk selections feel less.
Parking looks ample but sometimes it is crowded. Staff is good as well here.

The bakery always smells amazing here-​really really appetizing. There is a beef dish in the hot food bar I really like. I am not a big fan of the pizza here – maybe it’s the oven or the bake time but it’s too chewy (really good crust comes out of the Brookline WFoods, but I don’t like the buffalo chicken flavor there) – can you tell I go to WFoods a lot?!
The cashiers are really friendly.

Problem with Wholefoods is that some of their customers handle food with their nasty bare hands, then put the food back or in their mouth’s with no regard for anyone else. Some customers show up with their children and then start sticking their hands in the breakfast buffet, where they pretend its for their children and right in front of me I have observed Mother’s stuffing their mouth with sausages, bacon and anything else that they feel completely entitled to do. That’s probably a better word in describing some Wholefood’s customers, «Entitled», as they feel entitled to stick their nasty hands in the open buffet, or open juice, milk and food containers and then take a sip and put it back. Ya! I have seen it all at Wholefoods and it attracts some of the nastiest, inconsiderate customers I have ever seen. As a matter of fact I guy shows up right in front of me as I’m looking at the baked goods and starts taking out pastries with his bare hands, looks at them and then puts them back on the tray and he did this like 10 times and didn’t buy one single baked item. So, as I found this totally gross and a lack of hygiene i stated to this customer, «What are you doing touching all those pastries with your bare hands and then putting them back? What’s the matter with you?». This guy then blushes and told me, «I can do whatever I want», as he walks away not buying any baked good but having touched almost a dozen of them with his nasty hands. I spoke to the Wholefood’s Manager and they patronized me and sent me a $ 25 gift card. So, people if you see other people doing things that are just completely nasty in Wholefood’s make sure you complain to the Store Manager or better yet try and complain to the Wholefood’s HQ in Austin, Texas, as they most likely will send you out a gift card. I was told that they can’t be everywhere and see everything so they appreciate the fact that customers complain about the nasty things that other Wholefood’s customers are doing when they think nobody is watching them. You don’t see this going on at this level in other Supermarkets. So, you go to Wholefoods and pay tons of money and leave with a small bag or two and on top of it you have to put up with some customers who are just completely inconsiderate about other people.

I’m not a Whole Foods shopper, but I do stop by here every once in a while because it’s very close to Teele Square, it has a Starbucks right next door, and I can get the paper, a coffee and breakfast and relax for an hour or so on a Saturday morning.
It is never busy here. It’s a smaller store, in a weird spot and has higher prices than even other Whole Foods. So bonus is there is always parking available. The associates are all really nice and have helped me find beeswax for my DIY projects. I wish they had more ingredients for making your own laundry detergent, for example.
Try their breakfast plantains with a couple slices of bacon SO GOOD! Everything else on the breakfast buffet can get sketchy. Sauce hides many sins, but not all.
Obvy, everything at Whole Foods needs to be less expensive, especially the prepared foods, which if you don’t catch early in the morning, sit under a lamp, dry out and get gross pretty quick.

This isn’t the best whole foods location I’ve visited but it’s fine. Decent selection, standard whole foods prices, sales seem to be good. Staff are hit or miss, some can be outright grumpy. Wish they would double bag and not ask if you want a bag.

I love this place.
The staff are polite and professional. The food is always fresh and the place is clean. Everything I expect. Nothing bad to say. Thx!

I come here almost everyday for lunch, always grab a little something for the house as well.
Staff is mostly friendly, food is fresh, but in general I am disappointed with how you’d think you’re doing yourself a favor by eating here, when in reality, not everything is organic, some foods contain gmos, all that bad stuff.
Anyway, they would get a lot more business from everybody if they lowered their prices, they charge double what places like Trader Joes charge for some things.

The best Macaroni and cheese anywhere is available every day in their prepared foods section. It is not like in other Whole Foods Markets. It is made with creamy béchamel sauce as opposed to some cheddar out of a box. Amazing!

Alas and alack, the magical pfthoomp of the grain cake popper is no longer present at this Whole Foods. May it provide a terrifying pfthoomp at a WF near you. God willing.
That said, this has become my go-​to grocer for the following reasons: it’s close, they have pie eating contests and all-​you-​can-​eat sushi days, and the associates that work the check-​out pull me in to their inside conversations approximately 100% of the times I’m being rung up. Rang up. They’re ringing me up. Out? Grammar.
Thanks for having a gigantic parking lot, and a liquor store within reach. Because nothing says «Enjoy your wheel of special request Kunik and Rainforest Crisps» like a fifth of Fireball.
Queue Pitball: «Fireball.»

I’m a local and this whole foods is my neighborhood store. While their prices are more expensive than the Weymouth whole foods, unfair neighborhood pricing practices, I still like my local store.
The staff are friendly and always try to be helpful. There is the butcher who always has helpful suggestions and the older gentleman in produce with a heavy accent who is always willing to help with onion variations and substitutions. Makes google searches obsolete.
They have preserved lemons in the back if you ask at the cheese counter, not all stores have these. They take products back without questions asked and issue store credit. For me this makes all the difference and actually cements my loyalty.
It’s small but mighty, but it makes me happy! Good food always makes me smile!!! Happy shopping!!!

Alright, so! Having been to Whole Foods all over the country now, I have to say that this one isn’t that great BUT it has some redeeming qualities:
Pros:
–carry a decent amount of vegan products throughout the store. including Just Mayo, Beyond Meat, Upton’s, Tofurky, Daiya, lots of nut butters, Earth Balance, Tofutti, various yogurts, nondairy milks
–the staff is friendly, helpful
-$ 2.99 for oatmeal and all the toppings you can fit in one of those containers for breakfast is SUCH A SWEET DEAL. i literally buy a few and have breakfasts for the whole week. they don’t weigh it!!! do you know how many pecans i throw in there!!!
–standard vegan pastries, tasty
–lots of seating for when you leave to enjoy whatever goodies you just bought
Cons:
–it’s small compared to others i’ve been to and can get crowded
–vegan frozen items are prettttty lame. really need to add more. why is vegan ice cream never on sale? :(
–it’s like a ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ chance there will be tofu at the prepared foods area. and usually, they suck. they have this ginger carrot one that is terrible or a pepper something something tofu that is also really bad.
–they always seem to be out of garam masala and other dry rubs in the international foods section
–i never see any vegan cupcakes or cakes :(boo
–they don’t participate in the 4 for $ 4 but carry health starts here items. i wish they did the $ 4 for 4
Also, can people PLEASE stop writing about how expensive Whole Foods is? We know! And, actually, if you plan appropriately, they have a LOT of coupons on top of things that are on sale so it can be affordable. Relax.

Although I do love Whole Foods I am often discouraged from going there because of their high prices. I love the salad bar, but always end up spending $ 20 on one meal. A little ridiculous but it is yummy.
The people working at the registers are usually very friendly.

I had two bad experience and even the manager if this store did not do anything and she made the situation even worse.
I ordered 3 months ago a birthday cake for my son’s birthday ahead of time and they sat a date for the pick up. What happened was awful, I came in to pick it up and actually they did not make it. They forgot it:(Me and my wife were completely unhappy about it and they did not care about us.
Later on this week I ordered another cake and they set a date for pick up, less than 24 hrs another employee called and said actually we don’t have cream cheese to make it??? And I don’t care about your order wait until next week.
The manager was saying the same thing supporting an employee who does not want to work and they all did not care about the customer.
Me and my wife fell so bad about this and did not expect such service
I do not know why !!!

I love Whole Foods in general, however this Whole Foods should know how great their employees are. I was in earlier today at the seafood counter contemplating buying some oysters to try to shuck at home (I got an oyster shucker for Christmas) but I was worried to waste money if I wasn’t able to get the oysters open. I told this to the guy working the fish counter and he proceed to teach me how to shuck them and even let me sample the oysters he had taught me with.
I really appreciated it and was able to open all the oysters I bought for home. I will definitely make this Whole Foods my go to grocery store. Keep up the great customer service!

I used to hate Whole Foods. I feel like, at heart, it’s really just a big box store for bougie snack food addicts.
But this one isn’t that bad. In one tidy and relatively laid back store, they’ve got all the lovely produce, fish and meats you’d expect. And less of the annoying crap (or maybe they just pack it in tighter). I don’t think it’s ever taken me an hour to do the week’s shopping and the staff is really nice when I use coupons. And there’s lots of comfortable seating for when my toddler and I have to have our bougie snack food IMMEDIATELY.

This location is OK-doesn’t seem to have as much of a selection as the Beacon Hill store though. I once found a rock in my salad from the salad bar, YES, a rock! How does that even happen? Luckily, I didn’t swallow it, but I bit down on it, and it was gross! I went to the service desk and they gave me my $ back for the salad, but not even an apology or any sense of shock regarding my finding (maybe this wasn’t the first time it had happened?)

3.5, but I’m tired so I’m feeling generous. Large store w/​a Starbucks right next door (so much corporate bougie America in one glorious area, swoon) — clean, well lit, great selection of produce, sush, and seafood — and they even have that cute trail mix bar too — my main ish is with the salad bar — the veg often look questionably fresh (hello browning purple cabbage, I do not want you in my tum), and the prepared salad options aren’t yum. Greasy pasta w/​garlic? No. Tofu smothered in a nasty sauce? Double no. I mean, I love tofu a lot more than the next girl, and even I wouldn’t tap that, which is truly saying something. Even the steamed veg were sub par. I just wanted more excitement, more pizazz — though to be fair, I think I’m still mourning the loss of the WFM in Oakland and the heaven on earth status of their prepared foods section.
Overall, I’m in WFM, not a Panda Express — clearly I don’t feel like being a fat ass if I’m here (though their bakery selection is bannnnging) — worth a special trip? No. But, if you live in the hood (or are on 93 driving back down from NH/​VT and want non-​gas station foodstuffs), it’s a solidly large market with all of the organic quinoa and roadtrip snacks your little gluten free, peanut free, soy free heart can desire.

Bomb seafood… check, cheese heaven… check, ton of MEAT (my friend pointed out I originally wrote «buttload of MEAT»)…check, fresh produce galore… check, other crap I don’t need but end up buying anyway… check.
Very nice clerks and people behind the deli counter although I find the one dude with the crazy long beard kind of disturbing (i am sure he is a great person, but the beard???). That beard is just so long I fear that one day I am going to get a string white face pubes when biting into my turkey sandwich.
I also have a grievance against their bread here. For some reason it goes bad way quicker than normal bread (arnolds). If non-​organic means some added chemicals that make my bread not be moldy I am totally fine with that.
Other than those small issues the selection here is pretty awesome and somehow I always walk out with some sort of pastry/​dessert (usually Dancing Deer). And you can never go wrong with a pre-​prepped meal from the prepared food section, the hot food bar, or salad bar. Oh, and the attached Starbucks definitely helps when I am doing my grocery shopping while extremely hungover on a Sunday morning.

For most, the tempting aisles of healthy deliciousness that lie in the land of Whole Foods are beyond financial reach on a regular basis. I am one of these «most». My pockets are not so deep that I can spend $ 8 on a tub of «our own» guacamole, although I really, really, wish there were. I love guacamole. Mmmm…
I digress.
This WF has good parking, is clean, and is easily shopable. Everything was well stocked (the only thing they did not have was my beloved marinated goat cheese and sundried tomato spread. *weep*), well-​signed, and the staff was friendly (but frequently in the way! I had at least three times when employees were blocking whole sections or aisles to do their jobs, preventing me from getting to a section or down an aisle. grrrr).
You know what you’re getting in terms of price and selection when you opt to shop at WF, so you really have to rate the place less on these things, and more on the experience. And the $ 20 coupon from Living Social doesn’t hurt either.

I’d give this place five stars, if it were not for the frozen cheesy mac I purchased today, on April 3, 2011 and realized when I brought it home that the expiration date for FROZEN cheesy mac was 2.10.11.
I couldn’t eat it.
I will be returning this item.
I also bought a bag of mutlicolored peppers once and took it home and realized it smelled like bleach/​chlorine even after vigorously scrubbing them clean.
I had to throw them away.
I still think this one of the better Whole Foods, but I don’t feel like it deserves anything higher than one star.
Once I return my cheesy mac and if they apologize to me, then I’ll rewrite this review.
It’s very disappointing to think that this item sat in the freezer probably for years, since, frozen food has a long shelf life and no one seemed to notice that it expired TWO months ago.
Like, I said, I do plan to up the star-​age of this review. pending the annoyingness that I will have to deal with in explaining why I have to return this item…
But, until then…
