It has almost everything that you need, the stuff that I wanted was sold that and it have in the back which I was pretty bummed out about. However everything was very helpful into making sure if they had the product in stock in other stores, that was a very huge plus! Also using your Amazon prime on check out to save some money, great option!!

There is a sign at the front explaining the DOG POLICY. WELL it’s not a policy it’s the law. Only service dogs and I mean real service dogs allowed. Service dogs don’t get petted by the non owner, they do not eat from the salad bar, they are on duty while they have their harness on. A service dog is not treated or humiliated like it’s a side show. They are highly trained and I might say it’s a big expense. If a grocery store doesn’t enforce this health code what else do they not decide to follow. I love dogs. Think about the dog, his health his welfare, his psyche no matter if it’s a service dog or not.<br><br>Have you ever tried to get help here on an item that is listed as being there. Don’t bother. I have figured out about 60 percent care about service and the Whole Foods brand. Sad.

Whole Foods Market in New York.<br><br>Reliable, as ever, for something resembling balance in a city that rarely encourages it. My diet, for the moment, is in their hands—salmon rolls, Caesar salad, clean and predictable, and surprisingly satisfying after a long day out.<br><br>The price, though, is another story. Compared to Tokyo, it feels almost theatrical—easily three times higher. New York, it seems, charges a premium not just for living, but for eating well, too.

A typical whole foods. Which would normally simply be 5 stars. But it seems this location is also used as a warehouse for home deliveries. The problem with that is it seemed the majority of the people there were grabbing stuff for a customer. And in their business speed is everything. So their rush to get what they need is at the cost of everyday courtesies to other shoppers. So he prepared to stop quickly when one jumps directly on front of where you are walking so they can reach something.

Whole Foods Market. My favorite is their low-sugar cake line. I bought these two different flavors of sugar-free dark chocolate and sugar-free hazelnut milk chocolate. I also found tortillas and blueberry scones. I enjoy exploring discounted items because they're more cost-effective for me.

The “Whole Foods” Amazon returns/pickup and Grocery pickup is on the corner of 25th/7th.<br><br>Note: it’s a separate entrance from the actual Whole Foods, just 20 steps away.

I hate coming here but unfortunately it’s the closest grocery store to me when I don’t feel like walking to Trader Joe’s. The checkout staff here is so rude and unwelcoming (stock is nice and helpful) not to mention that the customers act like it’s their first day on earth. The way the store is “organized” is pure stupidity and even after going a few times I can never find what I’m looking for. The medicine section always smells terrible too.

I love the Whole Foods Market in mid Manhattan! The food options are excellent with great variety and plenty of choices. The fresh fruit section and salad bar are my favorites. So cool to have such great option offered to consumers/tourists right in the hustle and busy streets of Manhattan!

This Whole Foods is fine, but there are always so many dogs in here. Multiple feet away from their owners on long leashes blocking the aisles or sitting in the carts. Many times I’ve seen them licking things in the produce department which is gross. It doesn’t help when the people who work here are always petting them. Of course if they are a service dog that’s fine, but it’s super apparent they are not.

It was my first and last time in this supermarket.<br>The employees were incredibly kind.<br>And the items for sale are of excellent quality.<br>I really liked the supermarket<br>I would like to shop here more often<br>But I think it's a bit far from Germany.

Shopping at Whole Foods Market is interesting for me as I like to see all the aisles. This large location is on Seventh Avenue in Chelsea. As I enter, I am in the large vegetable and fruit section. Both organic and conventional varieties are available. Naturally organic prices are much higher. The fresh seafood and meat sections are next. Occasionally I get a salmon cake that I can sauté. In the middle of the store is the prepared foods and salad bar which is by weight. The cheese section is also there. Plant based pizzas and cauliflower crusts are in refrigerated cases. A variety of domestic and international butters are here priced decently that sometimes I can afford to buy them. Egg cartons are still rationed at three per customer due to the avian flu that had started a while back. These eggs range in price from $7 upwards. I don’t buy them as they are too pricey for me. My favorite section are the yogurts and when they are on sale I like to get Ellenos mango or passion fruit. Valley Shepherd Farm is another yogurt brand that I like a lot. Aisles are filled with teas, coffees, grains and the usual varieties of foods most supermarkets have. The body area is colorful and I like browsing here for deodorants on sale and the occasional face cleanser. One cannot forget the ice cream selections of which there are many. I am partial to Jeni’s Splendid ice cream in Wildberry Lavender and Dark Chocolate. Freshly baked breads, cakes and cookies are here too. I like the “Last Chance”where items are heavily discounted. One can either go to the self checkout machines or to the cashier. Magazines and temptations are always as one is waiting to pay. One needs self control not to go berserk! Two clean restrooms are here too which is convenient. Customer service is good with everyone trying to help you. Security guards are also manning the store and the entrance to avoid any incidents.

The staff is knowledgeable and can even provide recommendations on the best ways to prepare your selection.<br><br>The meat counter is just as remarkable, offering premium cuts of beef, lamb, and poultry. The butchers are skilled and happy to assist with custom cuts or special requests.

This is a sizable Whole Foods Market with a very good hot and cold self-service food area. Fruits and vegetables are also fresh, the meat section is serving up fresh cuts while keeping the display case filled with additional freshly cut options. The lines tend to move fairly quickly no matter how long the line may be and there's always someone at the front of the line assisting customers as they see their register number being called.

We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed our service. Thank you for your kind words!

No fruit for days. I hate to do this but this is the worst Whole Foods I’ve been to. They haven’t had salmon in over a week and this was the final straw. Every time I go at 6:30pm the shelves are half empty and the store is a disaster. Whenever I ask for a product the associate tells me to come earlier in the day. Unfortunately I work and this isn’t my problem but an issue with management and ordering. They haven’t had flank steak or fresh spices in a year. Now it’s fish. Get it together.
