Whole Foods Market

All the whole goods have fresh really good product and this one is no exception. Clean and stocked all the time.

Lomo Alto is my favorite Whole Foods location. Two of the best reasons to come to this location are 1) the Flower Dept and 2) the Checkers. The flowers are top quality and reasonable priced, and Eva makes the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen. She is always pleasant and is willing to go the «extra mile» to please the customers. All the Checkers are great, but my favorite Checker is David B. Because of his fun personality, going through his line makes shopping a delight and spending my money not such a chore. Great people mean a great store!

I come to this location about twice a week to get lunch for when I’m at the office. Now, this location is still a decent drive away — about 20 minutes from my office on Empire Central during lunch rush hour — but I gladly drive it despite all the closer lunch options and even yummy food trucks that are at the office entrance. Sushi is always fresh and is my go to. They also have several precooked family style pasta dishes past the salad bar. A $ 10 family style pasta can feed me for 3 – 4 meals, and for the price is pretty delicious. They also have cooked Chimichurri whole chicken for just $ 1 more than Kroger’s whole cooked chicken, but a lot more tastier.
What is especially consistently outstanding here is the customer service from the cashiers. Never have I had a cashier that did not act like they were excited to see you trying to eat healthy. I still recall one of my first visits, I bought some cans of coconut water, and my cashier pointed out that one was slightly dented in on the side and preemptively asked if I wanted him to help me grab a perfectly shaped can to replace it. Seriously? How can someone be THAT nice?!
I did have one negative experience with the meats department, and management cared enough to reach out to me to apologize for what happened and explained to me how passionate they felt about their business. A grocery store is no different from any other retail — there are mistakes. But what matters is how management handles them in a way that a repeat customer feels taken care of and want to come back yet again and again.

Maybe I came in on a bad night, but I was not impressed. Forgive me for holding Whole Foods to a certain standard. Their salad bar and ready-​made food entrees were not appetizing to me. In fact, a complete stranger made a comment to me about his distaste for the salad bar presentation. Clearly, we are on the same page. I hope they step it up.

Wow, this store looks like a tornado hit it. Every isle is under stocked. from the produce section, nut milks, deli foods, wine, bread area, loose herbs… these are all the areas I shop regularly across several locations in various cities; I’m ashamed the worst looking whole foods Ive ever been into is in my own city… but honestly, I claim the Addison location.
Whole Foods, dont forget that you charge premium prices and consumers expect a premium experience.

Since the Tom Thumb left Highland Park Village late last year, this became our regular food store. and we were pleasantly surprised with what it carried. since we travel a lot we’ve been to a number of these around the country and this one is by far the best in terms of what it carries.

Rude bakery staff. On multiple occasions I’ve dealt with their people being less than half friendly. I guess maybe they don’t like their jobs? Anyway, use the park lane store if you can. Way nicer people over there.

I was in Dallas, Texas for work and wanted to find Austin based Jester King’s Sour Beers to take home. Luckily, Whole Foods has amazing selection and I was able to pick up three 750 ML bottles to bring home. The Noble King is my favorite, with a nice body, tart flavor, and full aroma of ripe melon. Jester King’s is where its at even though its only sold in Texas. I can’t wait to visit their brewery next time I’m in Austin.

This place is funny. Sometimes I see why Whole Foods stock (and the Company) has floundered over the past two years. As a consumer, I see that they don’t really care to «sell» anything. I’ll give one example, and trust me, I have many more if you’re curious.
I entered Whole Foods on a Thursday night to grab a handful of pizzas for an NFL watch party. It was around 5pm, and there were about 3 or 4 full, 3-​topping pizzas ready to go, albeit getting cold and looking a little stale. Well, no problem, I’ll take them I tell the man behind the pizza counter. He tells me — «because they are already prepared, we can’t offer them at the Thursday night, 3-​topping rate ($ 12.99). It’ll be at least $ 14 per pizza.» I laughed, thinking he was joking. Then I realized… He was being serious. I was being penalized for taking some stale pizzas off their hands!
The management here is kind of scary. I really am always caught off guard with silly policies such as the one above. Do they want those pizzas to go to waste and not sell them? Are the employees hoping to stash them away and take them home at the end of the night? Do they want to anger their hungry, after-​work crowd?
Not a big deal to me, this is one consumer going to central market (happily) and one shareholder that is SELLING the hell out of his WFM shares! Sell! Sell! Sell!

I don’t like this Whole Foods. It’s too small. Small in space, and even small in variety of goods. There’s nothing special that I can see in this location. And there’s not even a local flair to its design like the one in Lakewood, Uptown, or even the one in Plano.
They need to give this one a redo, especially since it’s an inner-​city Whole Foods.

Whole foods as a whole is always 5 stars. They always have the largest selection of organic and natural goodies, period! :)
I go to this one a lot because it’s close to my work. I grab lunch and groceries for work. It’s not my favorite one because it doesn’t have a smoothie/​juicing bar and it is tad smaller than most of the other ones I go to. I also go to the Park Lane, Addison, or Preston location.
With the new Uptown location opening up I’m hoping that’ll be my new favorite spot until then…

I’m sorry to only giving it 2 stars, but it’s really driven by the value and the people who shop there.
It’s hard to hand someone a credit card for 3 tomatoes that cost $ 15.45. Are these magic tomatoes? Do they prepare them self? We all know the answer, however I find it crazy to pay that much for 3 medium sized tomatoes.
When I asked if there was a mistake on the pricing, the customer behind me immediately said «if you can’t afford them, then move on»… It must be nice to have that much disposable cash to think that 3 tomatoes should cost $ 15 or your time is so valuable that when a person ask a question (4 seconds) you can’t be bothered… This is only one example of the customers.
This Whole Foods I feel attracts people who are not so nice compared to other places. However, the people who work there are very nice and always willing to help.
I really enjoy the soup and I will keep an eye out for that lady again… Maybe I’ll place a few tomatoes in her basket. :o)

I like this location of Whole Foods because it’s near the gym that I attend. The staff here is always very nice and friendly. Unfortunately, since it’s in highland park, there are some rude customers who don’t know how to say «excuse me» when they bump into you, or drive their basket (on purpose) over your foot — lack of home training. You will simply have to ignore them.
Other than that, this whole foods is pretty much like the others. I shop for what’s on sale. If you don’t, then you’ll end up giving away your «whole paycheck.» My favorite spot is the salad bar! I also like the deli options and sometimes I’ll buy a pizza on Thursdays since that is the bargain day for pizza.
Happy shopping!

I love grocery shopping at Whole Foods. Even though I always feel like I am amongst some of the most boogie people ever while shopping here, that still doesn’t stop me.
There are two really great things that I love most about this location. One of which is how fresh the seafood is. They never fail me on giving me the most fresh wild shrimp and fish anyone could ask for.
I also really love going to pick up Chantilly cakes in their bakery!
I wish their parking lot wasn’t such a cluster mess. Other than that, I can’t get enough of shopping here!

We do the bulk of our shopping here. We’re here at least once a week. The staff is courteous and helpful, they have a great selection, and if they’re ever out of an item we need they often give us a different version or flavor for free. It’s usually quite crowded, but that’s proof of how great a store it is!

Wine class on thursdays is awesome. Only $ 5 and a ton of cheeses and appetizers along with very knowledgeable wine people running about. Plus the bar alto is a nice touch in case you need refills.
Check it out! :)

Wow! I haven’t received such bad and rude treatment from an unhappy group of employees since… the last time I went to Sam’s Club.
Every single employee looked like a battered dog. And of course they will pass that energy onto the customers.
And you would believe that a place where they are charging you three times the price when compared to other places would include good customer service. My wife and I just looked at each other while the cashier one by one slam dunked the bottles of water we purchased. Why was he so angry, I don’t know.
Once upon a time I would’ve asked for a manager. But I’m getting old for this sh (Beep!)t. So we just laughed it off and went our way.

Ya know, for a lil’ tiny Whole Foods, this one is perfect. Perfectly sized meat, fish, produce department and I’ve never not found what I’m looking for. It’s like the Hermione’s Handbag of WF’s.
I stopped by today for lunch and there were lots of healthy options (duh) in the hot bar area. For $ 10 I got steamed broccoli and tomatoes, some quinoa (which I hate but I eat bc it’s healthy allegedly) and some baked tilapia. The food here looked much fresher than the Lakewood location, which for some reason can’t seem to merchandise their food right in the hot/​cold prepared area so that it’s appealing whatsoever.
I did also have a pineapple sample and a cookie sample but don’t tell anyone I’m on the diet with.
The clientele is hilarious– from eccentric HP old ladies to new money and everyone else you can imagine. I got to listen to a phone conversation my entire lunch time at the communal table where a woman with a very large diamond ring was talking on the phone… I heard all about how she got into a yelling argument with another woman over someone in the hospital, breastfeeding, and then she asked «do you still drink black coffee to poop?». Ha! For $ 10 I got lunch and a show!

Smaller Whole Foods than usual. Not ideal for all your shopping needs. Kind of clean, kind of janky. I actually don’t mind paying more for Whole Foods products. But if I want to pay for overpriced products, I’ll go to a Whole Foods that gives me a bigger variety of overpriced products.
Overall, meh.

I see what’s going on here…
Every store is the same yet different in subtle ways. This location does not have breakfast tacos anymore, but even when they did they would qualify for the worlds smallest breakfast taco.
Some locations do an iced toddy concoction but sadly they are hard to find. What you will find here is a bare bones salad bar, helpful staff, and all the rich sugar mamas wearing their lulu lemon garb. It’s endearing, yet consistent so I’ll give you that.
Here’s a small high five to a small store.
