While the prices are high, the quality of their food and products never disappoint. Would seriously recommend getting any of their breads, they always come out perfect. Store is always clean and food is always fresh.

The staff is great! The food is great!! The prices are expensive AF (as expected) but they lose a star for having what has to be the worst designed parking lot in the history of parking lots. For real though… ugh… i literally dread going here for the parking.

This Whole Foods was my first re-introduction to what good food really is! You must go here for the expansive food bar, friendly authentic Boulder characters, and amazing selection of really good food. This is always our stop to stock up before going to the mountains. I love Colorado!

Largest prepared foods in the states closed again. Terrible. Regularly there is no made to order food service open Sandwiches, salads, burrito and wok. Why have them? Pizza and hot bar don’t offer the same options.Highly disappointed as they’re closed at 5pm yet again

It was my first time in this location. Close to closing time and one of the employees was literally telling people to leave the shop, He was very rude. I told the cashier that he was rude, she just shrugged could care less. Definitely the worst experience I have ever had in a Whole Foods. I didn’t take the employees name the least I could do is give this experience 1 star. I normally love shopping at whole foods probably not this location.

The Whole Foods on Pearl used to be my favorite store. Ever since the Amazon take over, the store hasnt been the same. And, now since the pandemic it is even worse! The slices of pizza look like they have been sitting there for days on end.The hot food that they are finally putting out again consists mostly of heavy duty carbs like mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and fried chicken nuggets. It totally reminds me of the Country Buffet, NOT Whole Foods!I am so disappointed in this store now. It used to be high quality but unfortunately that is no longer true.

Typical Whole foods, a bit overpriced and trendy, but getting to be more and more reliable. Great food court, again, pricey. Parking lot is tight with smaller spaces, so leave your RV at home. Place to go when you want to be seen in Boulder. Will return, but at less busy hours

Review №22

The employees are friendly & the store seems to be well stocked but its more expensive then Im willing to pay.✌The parking lot seems congested quite often but the store is clean & tidy. This location seems to always be quite busy so it seems Boulder doesnt mind paying more for the same items that are less expensive elsewhere like example King Soopers.Click the LIKE icon please if you agree or like my review.... Thanks.✌😊

Review №23

Generally a big fan of this location, despite the Whole Foods prices, however this most recent trip was a bit of a let down. Bought a green chili chicken burrito and it was literally nothing but rice and beans and astonishingly bland. For $7 it was quite the disappointment. Also bought a draft latte, that amounted to a third of a cup of liquid once the foam settled. Sadly, value to price ratio seems to be slipping here a bit.

Review №24

I came here in search of a emergency Thanksgiving business casual shirt I needed for a job interview over Zoom... I thought I found something that might work! it was a flannel, but I was walking towards the register, I realized something tragic: it was a $90.00 FLANNEL!? So crazy... I mean, who in their right mind would ever pay that much for a basic flannel? I will say one positive thing, though. I got some yummy Gala apples for a pretty amazing price while I was in!

Review №26

Very disappointing, in every way. The people who work there are really nice and that’s it. They have only small size latte and DO NOT have any medium or large size cups anymore “claiming” it’s a better quality coffee. After tasting it I wouldn’t say its worth it. If you want extra shot you now need to pay for it. The size of the cup and amount of shots was what got me to choose their coffee before, now there really isn’t a justification to get coffee there anymore.Peet’s Coffee is the best in town.

Arguably, this is the best WFM in the whole US. Selection is fantastic and the shop definitely resembles WFM pre-Amazon.

Review №29

Whole Foods advertises safe hours for seniors at the beginning of the day, but unfortunately, they have now allowed that time for their delivery shoppers, as well. So when I went in at 7:00 a.m., there were over a 100 people in the store, most of them young people, and only one other senior shopping. Everyone else were people who shouldnt be around high risk shoppers.

Review №35

I recently visited this Whole Foods location while I was on a business trip and I loved the store but I did notice the water/ice dispenser in the sit down area next to the restrooms was in need of immediate repair. The machine didnt look like it was cleaned in awhile due to the calcium buildup and the rotted wood underneath. The wood panels on the cabinet were falling off and the bottom section has exposed rusted nailes from where the panel has seperate from the cabinet.. Underneath the top damaged wood panel you could see a black discoloration which makes me believe its black mold. Its my recommendation that the machine and cabinet be replaced. Its a shame that such an incredible store has this eye sore at the front entrance.

The employee working the self-checkout lanes is extremely rude. The way she kept hovering over me and breathing down my neck was uncomfortable. If I hadnt been in a hurry to get my groceries home and in the fridge, I would have talked to a manager about her rude comments and behavior.

Bought their $7.50 burrito from the hot bar. Big disappointment. Green hatch vegetarian burrito. It was 95% rice and beans, maybe 4 thin slices of pepper. Completely flavorless. What a let down. Their hot bar has lost its quality.

Customers are rude when using the standard checkout lanes. I dont need a cart on my behind or a customer literally breathing on the back of my neck. Anyone shopping here I would advise using the self checkout in the future. And workers need to reinforce social distancing.

Review №45

During COVID19 times, WF is not a comfortable place to shop. Though they count people going in and out, its often quite crowded with people paying zero attention to distancing. I will also add that since they have so many personal shoppers who make the experience even more uncomfortable, Im looking at other stores now. So sick of the personal shoppers walking around looking at their phone, bumping into people and crowding the store. Ive been a WF shopper for over 20 years. I chose it because of the shopping experience, back then. Good lighting, nice, friendly staff, food is presented well, never too crowded. Thats all changed. I might as well go to a regular store and pay less. Amazon perhaps is to blame, I dont know. No longer my favorite, thats for sure.

So I am biased. I work in THIS Whole Foods. So do two of my kids. I love this store, the team, and the community in which we live. I feel heard and respected by leadership, we are working EXCEPTIONALLY HARD during these days of Covid to stay safe, healthy, and keep our team AND customers safe. Please give the store a chance, maintain your distance, wear a mask, and remember: we have families to keep safe too. Were in the business of SERVICE not SERVITUDE.

Met a friend there for lunch. The food is good you load your plate and go to a line to check out. Very quick check out. Tables both inside and out. First time there for me,. We had salads fresh be greens and trimming I was very happy with the service and food. Later I took a walk around the store and Sprouts is my favorite I didnt see anything that changes my mind. But that all depends on what you are looking for.

Review №57

Per Whole Foods usual they have a wonderful selection of items far far larger than Trader Joes a meer .25 miles away; however, the Sunday 11:30am check out line wrapped around the store and took over 25 minutes. I would much rather wait outside and be socially distanced then be in the way of other people shopping and closet than 6ft when the lines arent obviously delineated. Something to be cognizant of when coming to this particular Whole Foods.

Reading other people’s reviews of this store- there’s always something to be upset about in life (I recommend reflecting on yourself first and remembering that we are living among a minority of privileged people who can many times become smug in their entitlement).That said- I think this store is always lovely- very well stocked, clean, and the food bars are the best of any Whole Foods. Good customer service and fair prices.

Tim W. in the Floral department rocks! Always great gift ideas, excellent service and a lot of fun.Always a treat to deal with the fish mongers in the seafood department, excellent expertise and care in handling my special orders.Even in peak traffic times at the store it is always nice to hear the employees standing out with great customer care above the noise. That is a happy employee proud and shinning with good training and it is what keeps me coming back.Thanks Whole Foods.

If you feel like taking your life in your own hands, visit Whole foods on Pearl Street. Highlights include, Half the store without masks(of course including staff), staff members eating food in store isles and almost no social distancing anywhere. We will never go back, ever.

Review №73

Have a little compassion people. Are you really that entitled and impatient that you can’t wait in a line? Whole Foods team members have been working throughout the ENTIRE pandemic trying to provide a safe environment for both employees and customers. how about a little appreciation for putting their lives at risk so you can still buy your fancy cheese and kombucha. Get over it. we are all tired but that doesn’t give anyone the right to treat essential workers with disrespect. if the line is really affecting you soooo bad then shop somewhere else! Team members work extremely hard every single day with no relief. the least you can do is be grateful and not whine.

This Whole Foods is large and they do have quite the selection. Unfortunately, it seems that most of the interactions that I have had with their employees are unpleasant. My husband and I have ordered from the vegan bar several times and almost every single time the employees working there are rude. Its honestly kind of a bummer to eat food that was made by someone with a bad attitude. It feels as though I am taking in their negative energy. Additionally, the prepared foods bar seems to seriously fluctuate with their availability of vegan products (lately it has seemed very meaty). I mean, come on, how can there be four different mac n cheeses and not one of them is vegan?! I was informed by an employee that theyre required to have at least one vegan mac n cheese everyday, but the last several times we have gone, there wasnt any. I mean, if I want a veggie burger with fries and/or vegan mac n cheese, theres always Native Foods. So Im just wondering what this store has to offer that will bring us back to their prepared foods section? With this store being in Boulder, one would hope and expect that there would be plentiful vegan options and friendly customer service. Please bring more vegan food to the prepared foods bar! :)

My favorite place to stop for coffee in Boulder before work! The employees make my day every single time. They are efficient, hardworking, kind, and take their time to have genuine conversation with you. As a Boulder transplant, their diverse and inclusive staff makes me feel welcomed and right at home. I have tried just about every coffee shop in town and this location’s staff, customer service, and coffee is unparalleled.

Review №97

Crowded at all times but only because its worth it. Staff can be iffy, often rude, but the occasional jewel shines through. Great selection inside the store of vegan treats, check out the bakery and cookie bar, or the hot food bar is always good too. We mostly are addicted to this one because of the Beyond Burger restaurant inside, it is wonderful vegan food. Wish they would separate however as the whole foods employees often ruin the experience as they seem annoyed to have to make the food which we find unprofessional and disrespectful to the brand, plus you have to go pay in the main line which is a pain, and itd be rad to add a drive through as its hard for people with disabilities to get through the store...or even a walk up window on the outside of the store...idk. If you can stay friendly and patient its always worth the trip.

Carlos, the cashier at one of the express check-out station seemed to either have a bad day or just poor customer service skill. He’s better off stocking inventory than working with people, especially at the busiest line of the store. How disappointing! Carlos is definitely not your best asset.
