Have been a customer for about seven years now. Will never get over the sticker shock of certain items, but thats coming from someone earning below the median income of the intended clientele. In many ways out of place shopping here, but the quality of the products keep me coming back. Produce cannot be beat - at least when compared to my alternatives of Safeway and Sprouts. Sadly, the quality of the one pizza that would sometimes be my only reason for visiting is inconsistent and lately so unappealing that Ive passed it up. Most of my shopping is in the perimeter, but when you venture into the aisles youll find the extensive selection of items to be dizzying and not for the indecisive. Whatever type you are, youre bound to find the item that fits your taste perfectly. Parking is a zoo and expect entitled behavior. Dont bother parking in the ground level lot unless you regularly score that elusive spot or eye one before you turn in; instead just drive down to the first level of underground. As for the staff, just when you get used to your favorite face or personality on the other side of the checkout line, they disappear. Only two familiar faces remain, and it seems the newest staff arent as chipper as the ones who have come before. May be a testament to corporate struggles and subsequent changes, but hopefully they come out of this rough patch for the better.

I have been shopping at this branch for a few years and Ive been generally happy with the quality of their food and what they have available. Of course I never wrote a review until something started going wrong. For the third time in a month, Ive noticed that they either have or were about to charge me incorrectly. The way these happened were that I bought a produce item and I was charged for something similar but more expensive than what I actually purchased. People, please check if youre being charged correctly even if youre rich enough not to care about being charged an extra $10 for that salmon steak. Youll be putting pressure on the store management to get their act together and to ensure that they have proper system in place for pricing. UPDATE 2/26/17: This happened again today with two produce items. For one of the items, I brought it up with the cashier before paying and she corrected it. For the other one, I told her Ill go and check again to be sure. After I verified that I had been charged extra, I was sent to customer service. And the customer service refunded the whole price of the item. This is nice, and I ask that everyone double-check the prices to get a full refund on the items they were overcharged. Hoping that eventually the management would fix the pricing issue that hey have.

You know what youre going to get: Its a whole foods. Its a pretty big whole foods, with a very nice cheese, fish, etc. selection. (You can even get fairly good deals on fish if youre willing to buy whole and/or go a bit out of the mainstream. Kudos to WFM for this. Theyre also willing to spend a surprising amount of work gutting & scaling the whole fish for you, even on cheap items. Hats off to the folks in the fish department). Fresh and tasty. Good selection of vegan & vegetarian items, and very dependable. The drawback: There are better places for fresh produce - and weve been surprised at the things theyve regularly been out of. The prices are whole foods prices -- ridiculous for most things, pretty good for 365 brand stuff. (Were big fans of the local farmers markets for produce, and there are some CSAs that deliver to your door. The Palo Alto farmers market is particularly good for asian greens and lettuce. Yum.) They have a stash of free fruit wrap things for little kids if you ask nicely.

I end up shopping here every week--Im too busy to go to multiple grocery stores, and this has the best selection of gluten-free flours and prepared goods in the area. They even carry Udi brand bread and pizza crusts (which Ive heard are fantastic). The only gluten free item Ive wanted that they dont carry is Authentic Foods Superfine brown rice flour. They also have a large selection of organic dairy and meats--same as every other Whole Foods. I just wish it was more focused on local producers like the tiny but perfect Canyon Market in Glen Park (San Francisco). Oh and if you need Mexican, Thai, Indian, Japanese, or Chinese ingredients, you should really just go to one of the awesome local stores devoted to that. Nearby there is Mi Pueblo, Ranch 99, and Nijiya, so theres really no excuse. They have a huge area devoted to prepared foods which I almost never buy. The produce is usually fine except Sunday evening through Wednesday afternoon.

San Antonioショッピングセンターの向かいにあるスーパーマーケット。オーガニックなものを中心に扱っていて、どちらかというと高級スーパーマーケットという感じです。日本で言うと位置づけ的には成城石井が近いかな、と思いました。 ここのお店は惣菜コーナーが充実していて、持ち帰りの他、レジを抜けたところのテーブルに座って食べられるようにもなっています。また、ケーキのコーナーにはいわゆるアメリカっぽくない(カラフルだったりしない)普通に美味しそうなケーキが置いてありました。

I loved this Whole Foods in Los Altos. Usually when we go on vacation we make at least one visit to the local Whole Foods for a well needed home-cooked meal after being on vacation for a week or so. Best food bar out of any of the Whole Foods I have been to in Beverly Hills, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, or Orlando. Everything was fresh and light. We had chow mien, rice with vegetables, veggie spring rolls, pulled chicken, pulled pork, wings, steamed mixed veggies (California blend- broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower). We also had corn bread instead of dessert because usually it is sweet but I think because we were on the west coast that it was not as sweet but we didnt mind because it was still delicious.

Well it was hard finding help , we were looking for coconut oil, thats the first thing that went wrong, second we ordered a deli sandwich to share and the guy apologized for cutting it not evenly , one small side one large side, so ok I guess cant ask him to redo it . Then no clean spots to eat at , food stains and a blk hair on the table, pretty gross !!! 3rd The girl at checkout yells Ill help the next person in line and some guy behind me flies up front with his stuff ! It was Sunday and kinda busy so maybe that was the reason ? I love the whole foods in Cupertino , next time Ill go to that one instead. :))

I used to love this store & the staff. I shop here at least twice a week and spend a small fortune. Full disclosure: Im also a shareholder. But in the last 6 months or so Ive noticed customer service in the evening (forget trying to shop during day or evening, way too crowded) taking a nose dive. The norm seems to be for staff to start cleaning up around 9/915pm, which means 0 to 1 person to serve a lot of people lining up at the counter (meat and seafood). And there are never enough cashiers and baggers. Call me old fashioned but when Im averaging $125/bag of groceries, I expect someone to bag it for me???

Whole Foods has just made me a permanent customer because of an employee named Holly. She is a Checker with an unusual ability to be supportive and kind. Holly has a great sense of humor and slowed down long enough to help me decide what I could and could not afford this trip. She was very clear about how much Whole Foods is really aware of how tough money is for many of us now. Her attitude was uplifting and positive. My red face did not faze her in the least. What a great employee! I will be back! Thanks Holly! Linda Larson-
