| - I absolutely love this Whole Foods Market (WFM). It's big, bright, and airy. Clean, organized, and typically well-stocked. Great customer service. Anytime I have a query re a product, they're always quick to respond, and very helpful. Even the cashiers are always friendly & smiling. Love that!
They open at 7am and close at 10pm. They have "everything, and the kitchen sink" in this store. One time I was in need of black flats early in the morning. Popped in here and bought some Toms (shoes). They have a really cute selection of vegan-friendly clothes and accessories too. I also love how they support local vendors. I'll see them coming in to replenish their stock.
Speaking of vegan, their vegan food selection is vast! Everything from fresh, healthy, raw vegan foods, to yummy fried, soy/ tempeh/ seitan vegan comfort foods. I found vegan bacon bits, vegan honey mustard salad dressing, chipotle mayo, fried "shrimp" & "fish" for the 1st time right here. They have all of my favorite brands (Gardein, Follow Your Heart, Boca, Vegetarian Plus, Earth Balance, Beyond Meat, SoDelicious, etc).
Let's not neglect to give props to the in-house chefs for their superb vegan creations. My favs include fresh vegan cake donuts (various flavored icings), vegan cookies, vegan potato salad, vegan Sonoma "Chicken" Salad, buffalo "chicken" strips, Udon noodles, vegan cupcakes, vegan chocolates & truffles. I also love their fruit sorbets. The watermelon sorbet is an amazing summer treat. I also love their house-made spicy guacamole. Yum!
There is (usually) no shortage of vegan options at the hot bar or salad bars. I do suggest visiting these bars earlier in the day, as they look quite dreadful (dried out foods) by night.
They have a sushi bar, pizza station, & a coffee station too. I've tried none of these.
Check their store calendar for the different cooking & wine classes that they offer.
The cashiers & baggers always ask if you need ice for your groceries.
Great store.
