Needs met - Whole Foods has been a godsend for me personally, although sometimes pricy, Ive still been able to find exactly what Im looking for and even sometimes at a better price than anywhere else. Whole foods is store that best caters to my dietary restrictions and nutrition mindset, with both the widest selection of vegan protein powders Ive seen and produce at amazing prices. You can also find some pretty interesting and exciting products here as well, like tea brewed like a craft beer. All in all, I highly recommend Whole Foods if youve got the budget and have specific dietary needs.

Very clean. Well laid out and diverse. Unbelievably good fresh squeezed orange juice.

Hanger steak, Sirloin flap and Bison ribeye are paradise for steak lovers. The hanger steak and the flap are hard to find cuts, but theyre wonderful cuts of beef.I love Bison and Im always on the lookout for it. The ribeye i just bought looks beautiful.I always overspend when I shop here, which isnt necessarily a bad thing. I love cooking and always find all of the things I never knew I wanted, but must have now.The produce always looks amazing and the meat counter never fails to impress with the various meats and specialty cuts on display.The employees are the best part, though. Always smiling, friendly and helpful. Theyre definitely the cool kids.

The deli is very nice. Great place for a healthy lunch. Homeopathic treatments, natural beauty supplies, fresh produce and meats, large beverage selection, very interesting store. You wont always find yourself with a cart full of bargains, but pretty good quality.

The variety of GF, Vegan, Local, Organic, and other specialty foods is amazing! I would think the prices of some of the items could come down a bit. Freddys has a great selection and quality of some of the same foods and terrific quality organic and non-GMO produce at much better pricing. Otherwise, five stars! And if youre hungry, a nice area for eating with several selections of ready to eat foods. Food Court style or carry out. Fabulous!

I have been shopping WF for decades so while visiting Bellingham ,I went there first . The 1st time was OK but the 2nd was not .The neighborhood I was staying in ended up in a long power outage. The 2nd day my phone & laptop were dying so I went to WF for lunch and to charge my devices . After getting my food, I plugged into the long power strips along the tables only to discover dead outlets .I asked staff to get a manager to reset the breakers but they were feckless .Managements response when people are coping with power outages was surprisingly cavalier.Now that Safeway is carrying more organic options ,WF could be moving to the I used to shop there category .Safeway does have Starbux in-store / WiFi & charging . 😀

Pretty good shopping experience, the store is very clean and the employees are very friendly. Prices are comparable to other local supermarkets. The food bar and pizza are amazing.

Very nice Wholefoods. Spacious setup, great placements of everything, well thought out. Handmade pizzas, bar seatings, open cantinas seating too. Great place for family as well.

Review №16

I always go in for a couple slices of pizza, 2 for $6, but lately they have upped the price to 2 for $7. Its a great store, just super pricey. Also not a big fan of the new Amazon Prime thing they have got going.

Review №17

Perhaps I am spoiled by my local co-op, but the produce & meat dept. were very sub par in selection and freshness. I havent been in a whole foods since amazon took over, and from what I can see, it has gone downhill. Didnt buy anything and went to fred meyer.

Whole Paycheck. But at least they make it very convenient to take in Amazon Prime returns...

I used to love love love Whole Foods. Its very different now. The vibe is certainly changed. But I do enjoy the produce when I go and they have some healthy alternatives I dont find easily elsewhere. That said, man I wish the old...meaning 5 years ago, Whole Foods.

The prices are a bit higher and its hard to compare produce freshness when the grocery store across the street is known for fresh produce but its worth the stop for their prepared food and deli.

I have shopped here a couple of times not overly impressed with the prices it is a natural style store so youre going to pay a little more for their items staff was friendly quality offense seem good so if youre looking for a more organic natural path store I would look at this place

Absolutely love whole foods market, they have many amazing organic foods, as well as farm raised selections and now with free delivery; its brilliant. Being a new mom and a family with 1 car this makes things so amazing for our household! They are always early, no contact, bags are packed with care and set in a thoughtful location on my porch. All freezer items are packed in bags to keep them cool as well. I definitely recommend whole foods and their delivery service!

Great place for dinner - their pizza and taco bowls are awesome (and the cream puffs from the bakery killer!) and 3$ beer on tap during happy hour. Delicious and adorable dinner out!

Review №32

Its whole foods.... If youve seen one youve probably seen them all. The pizza at the cafe was fresh and hot which was wonderful after a long day of traveling! This whole foods was on the smaller side, but theyve managed to pack an impressive selection into the space they have.

Review №35

I am under the distinct impression the managers here, hate customers.The food on the hot bar is rarely fresh, the portions at the stations are minimal, and the customer is constantly bombarded with the no tipping messages around the food counters - Id much rather be given fresh food, decent portions and an opportunity to tip.Ive gotten sick every time Ive eaten from their deli, sliced turkey, premise salads, doesnt matter. I dont know whats happening in the back but its not good.This location has gone downhill quickly.They sell foods past their sell by dates and rotting.Theyre out of items for weeks at a time.The pizza here is the best pizza in town and thats rather frightening given the items on their shelves.

My first time in this store. Small, clean. Not as expensive as I thought. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking was better than say my local Trader Joes whose parking lot is a nightmare.

Overall nice store. The staff in the Meat department and products are fantastic. I bought a 4 lbs beef tenderloin and they cleaned it beautifully for me. A+ The produce department was large but lots of almost rotten products out. I bought 2 or 3 items that were partially spoiled when I opened the package the next day.I was told to call whole foods to pass on the review.I called whole foods about my bad produce and they thanked me for the phone call.. I guess my local market sets the standard high with a 200% guarantee. Whole foods does not.

The food is good, but its so much more expensive than fred meyer across the street. If you have money to burn, or if organic / free range / etc is really important to you it might be worth it, but otherwise would not recommend.

I enjoy whole foods. It has the smell of healthyness if that makes sense. I wish the prices were not so high. Alot more vegan choices here which I love then other stores.

Over rated & exspensive as well as my first impression in walking though the door was cold, hard and stand offish. Nothing warm & inviting like you would expect, but instead leaving us grumbling to ourselves while crossings the parking lot to the car!

This has absolutely great food, healthy food choices , and an awesome atmosphere. Seems to be much busier than last stores in that location over the last 30 years. I can see why. Its exciting to see all those good choices and prices. Good coffee. Good pizza. ALL IS GOOD. Great meeting place!

Review №84

Not a bad whole foods, but also not the best. Meat section could be better in terms of customizing orders, as well as more hot food bar options. A cold pressed juice bar would be a good addition. Service at the beer bar can be improved in terms of customer service. Good tap selection typically.

Nice and friendly place to get a few specialty items. Tasty baked goods and fun variety of veggies and.. kombucha I guess?? I dont take advantage of the $3 pint happy hour enough! (Also applies to wine pour heheh). 4-7 pm. Great variety on tap! Something to please everyone.

Review №92

As one would expect from Whole Foods, large variety at a high price. I tried to get them to price match a few items but they strictly declined. They offer identical brands to other stores but at a significant markup. The staff is really friendly. Prepared good is delicious.

Ho
Review №93

A bit more expensive than the co-op, but I still enjoy shopping here because the people who work there are kind, helpful and seem to authentically enjoy the jobs. I also enjoy the fact that its not a store that causes sensory overload like more mainstream stores such as Safeway and Fred Meyers with their loud PA system obnoxious fluorescent lights and narrow isles.

Re
Review №94

Its pretty typical for a Whole Foods store. They do have a brick oven for pizza that makes this a very convenient and tasty place to swing by for a quick bite. They also have a good happy hour deal for a drink and some pizza. Have a glass of wine with friends or grab a pint. Pizza prices are pretty good. Grocery prices are more expensive than most places in town.

IDK who this review is for. I mean, if youre into the kinda stuff Whole Foods sells, at the kinda prices they sell it, then go for it. But for your average Joe, its gonna be a hard pass. Also, if youre into all this kinda stuff, you might as well shop local and go to the co-op.
