Clean, well lit store. Aisles are free of clutter & shelves are always stocked, or being stocked, when I stop in. Staff is plentiful & willing to assist. Fresh salad bar daily. I just wish they hadnt taken the yogurt parfait away, at this location. It was SO GOOD & WAS the perfect afternoon snack/pick-me-up when on the go. The vanilla yogurt w the added fresh berries & occasionally, a bit of granola, quickly turned into an addiction, for me, as it was the only yogurt I REALLY LIKED & ENJOYED EATING. But, now its NLA. So upsetting......Other than that, no complaints. This store is good for a quick in & out when youre on a time crunch due to the fact its much smaller/very compact, compared to the other WF, or the other grocery stores in the area. Lines rarely become insanely long & they do move quickly.

This W.F.s is pretty good- not nearly as big as the one downtown, but thats a welcome relief sometimes... I dont come up here often, but I like to be able to get in and out without feeling like I just walked into a Costco or other warehouse where I get lost and sucked in- wandering around saucer eyed and dazed. The layout is pretty good here, and the staff is pretty friendly. Parking can be a bit of a hassle if youre here at peak times, but if youre patient youll get a spot. OR you can always park just a teeny bit away and walk a few more feet. The Container Store and Crate & Barrel are in the same center, which means Ill be in this area for at least a couple of hours when I let myself venture up here.

This location feels a bit crowded on weekends and weekday afternoons, but that really is to be expected given the area of town this is located in - arboretum, which is definitely one of the busier shopping districts in Austin as well as one of the locations with the most car traffic. I definitely prefer this over the more crowded downtown location and it does provide what I really look for most of the time. The place also offers a decent salad bar and cafe where you can find healthy food options. The bakery also makes some lovely cakes for all ocassions. But the highlight is that one can easily find Sticky Toffee Pudding at this place, which is easily the best dessert anyone can find anywhere!

Oh why I love Whole Foods so much. This location is amazing for the fact its not located Downtown. I only wish it had the prepared food options like the Downtown location does. The quality of food here is always great. My obsession is their bakery. Its beyond delicious. Id have to say its even better than most bakeries in and around the Austin area. Ive tried far too many bakeries and been far too disappointed. The quality of food is always excellent. Its always consistent, never had a bad occurrence. The price isnt amazing, cant argue, its fair for what you receive. Best part of whole foods, they still give you bags as they always have!

The wonders of Whole Foods draws you in. After circling the parking lot 19 times, and finally getting a parking spot, you enter into a vast array of various organic, natural and holistic foods, beverages, and supplements to name a few. Be warned that if you ask for assistance that you may be mocked for chosen something that the hippy/hipster employee things poorly of. The real trauma comes when you check out and spend over $100 for 5 items. I have yet to find something in there that does not give me a bit of sticker shock. I side from all that they do carry plenty of fresh and delicious items of various likings.

Great store with lots of local foods that you cant find in an HEB. I love a lot of the food they make on site and love going there for soup, salad or pizza. The pricing is higher than a normal grocery store but a lot of the items are organic and more healthy. Definitely not an every day grocery for me but its good to treat yourself and keep yourself healthy whenever possible. The staff have always been professional and helpful whenever I have encountered them. The place is clean but is frequently crowded! I expect to wait some in line and if you are ordering food it can take some time as well.

The staff and service at this store is the best. The staff really goes out of their way to help you out - whether its carrying your groceries out to your car or special ordering something for you - theyre on top of it. In addition, youre not going to find better quality products out there anywhere. I love this store. I cant imagine living in a city without Whole Foods. My only complaint is I with this little store was a little bit bigger. The store gets really busy and crowded and then the parking lot gets a little bit scary.

I had never been to a Whole Foods, so when my friend needed to go, I decided I would head over there with him. We were hoping to get some steaks for grilling (although in the end, we ended up going out to eat instead). Sadly before we walked into the store, I saw a sign (30.06) on the door saying that my kind were not welcome in there store. So I had to go sit in the car and wait while my friend went in the store. I guess if they do not want customers like me, I have no choice but take my business elsewhere.

Generally high quality selection and great staff. Seriously overpriced. For example a pint of prime quality branded ice cream I can buy at even the most expensive regular supermarket in Austin for $4.50 is $5.50 at Whole Foods. This 10 - 20% disparity pervades the store. Whole Foods is the target of a takeover attempt and is in some financial difficulty. Theyve built a great brand, but people simply cannot afford to pay significantly more for exactly the same thing in these tightened income times.

Small in size but still has the same Whole Foods quality you are looking for. This location closed at the opening of the store at the Domain then re-opened a few months later looking all nice and fresh. More windows were added in the entrance area to really help brighten up this place. The store in clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, lots of parking and as normal Whole Foods standards lots of recycle bins. Dont forget to bring your shopping bags with to get your reusable bag discount.

No doubt, Whole Foods is a little pricey, but the ingredients are healthier and of a higher quality, and it makes you feel better about yourself for buying them there instead of HEB. Im in love with their seafood soups and hot food bar, but its really easy to overspend because of how overpriced it is. I love their crab butternut squash soup and most of their selections with tofu. Im also always amazed how friendly the cashiers are - they really seem to love their jobs!

I have been reading the reviews on here and I think almost everyone on her has mistaken this Whole Foods for the one on Lamar in downtown Austin. This one is more in the suburbs of Austin on Research Blvd. I have been to both and personally I prefer the one Downtown simply because its closer to my house. This one has a very awesome Bakery selection and very friendly employees. I have also noticed that this store has the most free samples as well which is a major bonus!
