Pros: Healthy food options; Strict standards for quality; Active community involvement
Cons: High prices; Limited selections of foods and other items

Pros: Quality Food
Cons: Prices, Customer Service
Summary: It seems like each time I shop at this Whole Foods, the interactions with the employees get worse. Tonight, the employees were focused on dumping food in the trash and cleaning up more than they were on helping "customers." If the place is open, and its ... read more

Pros: Good quality and variety of products available nice store layout good parking facility
Cons: obnoxious, unprofessional checkout girl rude, snide talk checkout girl made fun of old lady
Summary: Enjoy the selection of products, well maybe the hot bar is sometimes dried out, but sometimes one bad egg ruins the experience for us, just like a bad waiter can ruin a great restaurant meal. Checkout girl to day had so much attitude you could cut it ... read more

Pros: There are products at these stores that are not readily available at grocery stores.
Cons: As explained in my review above, BEWARE WHEN SHOPPING WHOLE FOODS MARKET STORES!
Summary: My experience over 15 years with these stores is they are now based on hype and false marketing, and obviously focused on the bottom line at the expense of the customer - there are much better stores for value, quality and customer service!!I had ... read more

Pros: wide selection of fruit
Cons: They don't know that they are going to poison people with spoiled shellfish.
Summary: Whole foods is not all its cracked up to be but it does deserve its nickname "whole paycheck". I am dumbfounded by the lack of training their employees have. They seem to know NOTHING about their food. Also, DO NOT BUY FISH OR SHELLFISH FROM ... read more

Pros: Luscious cheese section, tasting samples, truly helpful staff
Cons: May be intimidating alternative for some people
Summary: Whole Foods is a great place for hard to find items as well as already prepared tidbits for a smart lunch or cocktail party. It seems like whole foods aims to please two main groups of people: Alternative types and Trendy/Foodie Types. Since they have ... read more

Pros: Organic food, nicely displayed; some foods not available elsewhere. Some good values
Cons: Tends to be on the pricey side; not a one-stop shop
Summary: I have been shopping at Whole Foods since 1987 when I lived in the Boston area and it was Bread & Circus. When I relocated to the Washington DC metro area in 1998 I walked into a Fresh Fields which looked suspiciously like Bread & Circus. I learned that ... read more

Pros: Full of delectable food and the prepared food is amazing!
Cons: The items can get pricey
Summary: Eating a fatty burger without knowing what is in the meat is not my idea of something that I should consume in a stressful, weight-obsessed society. When I am on that healthy splurge and in need for food, I go to Whole Foods Market. Anything that is ... read more

Pros: gourmet, fresh, innovative
Cons: the prices could kill you!
Summary: Whole Foods Market is run by the same people that run Fresh Fields and Bread and Circus. I've been in all 3 places, and they are pretty much exactly the same, FYI.
Whenever I tell anyone about Whole Foods, I give them a major warning: "These ... read more

Pros: Healthy Food that you do not have to check ingredients for.
Cons: Price gouging, mismatching label prices with prices in the register, an annoying "loss prevention" person.
Summary: I use to love shopping at Whole Foods, but there have been way too many errors. Now I am starting to think this is getting to be a pattern.Whole Foods rips customers off all of the time. Whether this is knowingly or not I am still trying to

Pros: The store appeared to be clean enough.
Cons: Their quality is subpar and their prices are very high.
Summary: I had been hearing about this chain for years, but none was in my neighborhood. So I finally trekked out of my neighborhood just to shop here. I am a home cook, so I was not interested in their prepared foods; I was interested in

Pros: Pretty, elegant, spacious, lots of boutique produce
Cons: Variety, quantity of many departments reduced. Prices raised.
Summary: Recently, the style of the Whole Foods Markets in my area has changed. I don't know if this is local to Marin County (Mill Valley-2 stores) and San Rafael, California. They have become very elegant with wide aisles and beautifully
