I used to love this store when I started shopping here 3 yrs ago. And after leaving Shop-Rite, there was some sticker shock. But it has now been nearly 1 1/2 since the organic produce was decent. Everything is shipped green or unripened now - except the smart gas fruit that has been in storage for I dont know how long. And it has a very poor shelf life at home. It either is mealy and not edible, or it all ripens the same day (about three days after taking it home at those high prices) and you must eat everything all on the same day, or it quickly goes rotten. Much of it is very poor quality now, and the selection is very limited. Bananas, apples, some pears and maybe oranges is all you can expect. Sad its turning out this way. I dont have the time to shop weekly at multiple stores to feed the family, but its getting harder to keep throwwing away $20.+ for produce each week. BTW, the store was just recently redesigned, and they have built a wall across the entire center of the store and ruined the light, airy flow the place had before. And aisles you are now forced to use in the front of the store are poorly lite and dont make the shopping experience better. Hoping for improvements once the entire new design is up and running but the floorplan doesnt look good. Hard to justify high organic prices if you dont deliver the goods. I can buy bad produce alot of other places for less.

Im currently watching the three registers out of 10 that are open. Of the three, only one is fully staffed with a bagger, and neither the cashier NOR the bagger is paying any attention to the customers, instead carrying on an innapropriate conversation about their personal lives. Another has a customer BAGGING THEIR OWN ITEMS as the cashier slides the items carelessly down. Thankfully the third Cashier was polite and very professional. The produce section is littered with vegetable leaves on the floor. The selection throughout the store is pisspoor, the smell from the seafood department was absolutely rancid, to the point where the people I am with are looking around expect n to see the pet food section. The aisles are tight and difficult to navigate, and I have yet to see a central area for carts, instead they are scattered throughout the store, with the majority piled outside in the parking lot. As a frequent Whole Foods customer all over the country, I was very disappointed to say the least.

Ive been to Whole Foods all over and this is by far the worse one Ive seen. A lot of items are in the wrong places, notice all the people sorting shelf all day? They never look to see where things go - so good luck getting the right price. Produce is not of any high quality - maybe its just New Jersey - but I certainly am used to getting higher quality items that last longer at home. I wont keep bashing them as they do offer a wide variety of items but from a guy whos been to these places elsewhere I am totally disappointed in this area store.

Most of the staff is friendly. I just hate the meat department. They hide in the back and dont want to be helpful. Then I walk to where they are to politely ask for help and they either slink away toward the back of house or help me reluctantly and angrily. I also noticed recently that some of their most expensive cuts are all dried out and funky lookin. If your vegan you should be fine, but the meat department is why I typically visit a whole foods and I find this one disturbingly unfriendly.

Great place until they changed the staff at the juice bar to the two women that now work there on Sunday afternoons. They ignore customers, if you are able to get their attention, they make it a point to tell you they are too busy to take your order. They are not amenable to useful suggestions such as writing down an order until they have the time to get to it.

Let me start by saying, this place is a zoo! It seems like all the employees are just hanging out. The people in the dairy isle are ALWAYS talking and never working. Most of the employees are rude, and never move out of your way when you walk down the isle. You can never find a manager to complain, which Im sure is by design. Im heading to Trader Joes.

AKA whole paycheck - its the baby WF in the area, and still has great fish and meat (and cheese & bread!) - theres a reason why the fish markets and meat markets have almost all closed! If you want the BIG WF, go to the one in vauxhall near the Home Depot - it has more prepared foods. This one is closer and has everything I want & need.

They have what you would expect: organic and the like. The young guy in Fish Department is very courteous and helpful. Guys in the Meat Department are also great! Good place to buy good food. Off course, this kind of food is more expensive than the regular stuff. But we are, kind of, that we eat.

This Wholefoods is horrendous, the WORST customer service, rude lazy. Rotten fish which they are arrogant about. I gave hit multiple chances, each time same poor quality, and to price gouge at the same time. Really go to another Wholefoods or realize its a scam anyway and stick with Kings.

This should go without saying but paying twice as much for half the amount is not even sane. The buffay is also ridiculous for the taste, pretty disappointed in that. The one thing they have going for them is the odd selection of products and fresh peanut butter.

I only go here bc they have a few items i cant get anywhere else. However, the staff have miserable attitudes...and act like they hate their jobs! Most of the time they are not working and talking in the aisles. I try to get out quickly!....

Love the fresh organic produce! Tons of variety! They also have a huge Whole Body department in the back of the store with the most knowledgeable teammembers. Totally worth the visit even if youre just food shopping!

Not a bad place to eat. Wish they werent building one near my old home. Theyre planning on tearing down good clean forest that is used by animals to live. Very unfortunate. Reuse existing spaces.

Great store, great products, great staff. I like the small size, but it does mean going to another super market for things like paper products, dental floss, dishwater detergent that works, etc.

Very dirty and staff stocking shelves were bothered when asking question about locating items. Have only been to whole foods twice, once in Atlanta and it was great; here not so good.

The store is always very clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Download the app for digital coupons and the weekly sale flier! Love that they take Android and Apple pay.

Small, but reliable for what it carries, which is not everything. Good quality, high prices. Now serves coffee as well, yay. Evidently well-heeled customer base.

Organic foods and large selection of fruits. Fresh cut onions, carrots and other veggies for those who wanna cook something quick without the hassle of cutting.
