| - This is my favorite grocery store in town, which is a bold statement considering Willy Street Co-op is another shop I frequent just as much. But I say Whole Foods wins.
I appreciate their bakery for two reasons:
1) the seeduction rolls/bread
2) the oatmeal raisin cookies
The SEEDUCTION ROLL is a must buy in each of my visits to Whole Foods. They are perfectly portioned to be warmed and enjoyed with a smear of avocado or nut butter. The heartiness of the whole grains, the crunch from the pepitas and poppy seeds throughout, this bread is the carbs of my dreams.
The OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIE is a recent discovery and a random choice among the other items in the bakery cases. I don't like raisins, but I very much liked this cookie and want it now. The texture was chewy but so dense and moist and subtly sweet and even more sweet with the addition of some raisins.
Another plus at Whole Foods is their produce selection and prices. While some items will be pricey indeed, not all of them are. Shop with a knowledge of what's a reasonable amount to pay for certain fruits and veggies and only buy the ones that are marked at the right price. Quality, organic produce comes at a steeper rate, but I find it worth it and there are plenty of fruit and veg options at Whole Foods that I find comparable in price to other shops.
Along with the produce section, there is a machine to freshly grind peanut and almond butters (my favorite thing and my weakness). This always earns the grocery store an extra 10 points in my book. It's so lovely when you dig into a fresh container of NUT BUTTER and it's still warm and you can smell the nuttiness oh my.
Dairy prices are decent and I appreciate the grand assortment of dairy-free milk choices because almond and coconut milks are fun :)
The dry goods at Whole Foods are also priced right. For those who enjoy canned BEANS for their protein source like me, WF actually has the best prices in town. Organic chickpeas, black beans, red kidney beans...I stock up on these here.
One thing that's not so great is the meat and fish prices. They're steep.
The hot bar, while it adds up $$$ very quickly when weighed, is pretty great taste wise and for the convenience factor. Dinner is set. The food is delicious and each tray of food is listed with all the ingredients it contains. Besides the price, it's rockin.
Oh and if you're ever looking to make your own Acai Bowl, they have packs of ACAI in the freezer section. Pretty expensive and probably not a necessary item, but it's fun to try. I did :)
Whole Foods basically is there as a reliable place for staple groceries as well as all the random items you've been searching around for at other stores but can't seem to find. I bet you that they'll have it.
