Food was delicious a little bit pricey but I guess its because of the name. Ginger root beer is a bomb. Ice cream too. I give them a 7

Whole Foods has quickly become our shopping home. It does take some getting used to. However, its great being able to find most everything we needed in one location. Knowing that were shopping smarter and eating healthier makes the high prices worth it. I see it as an investment in your health.🥰

This was our first visit to Whole Food and we were pretty excited. As we are now Plant-Based, we found shopping here...somewhat excitingly challenging. Some of the staff were very helpful, while others were not. However, we will be returning as the store itself was clean and offered many of the food items that we needed. Yes it was/is a bit pricey however, we shop by meals and menu...more to come...with me luck...😆😁

Love that you offer a variety of vegan and vegetarian foods. One thing I did want to bring to your attention is that in the deli you used to carry vegan chickn bites. You had them in orange, lime zest and Cajun. We’ve been back to shop now several times and when I ask your staff members they always tell us your out or are not carrying them. You offer tons of options in the deli for non vegan/vegetarian folks I’m just asking you to please start stocking these again. There’s really no reason for us to make the trip out to Archer Road otherwise. Thank you for your consideration.

Very good meat, deli, bakery, and produce departments. Hit some really good sale prices in the vitamin aisle, throw in Amazon Prime and it really adds up. Very convenient Amazon return location.

Confusing but wonderful place. Gluten Free stuff not concentrated, which would be wonderful, but scattered all over store. I guess to get you down additional aisles. Safe place to buy Gluten Free & Dairy Free (Lactose free) products. Prices seem to be high, but groceries are going up everywhere, so maybe not exorbitant. Helpful people. Free Ice Water too!!!

Whole Foods is where you go for natural, fresh, & different foods than you can find at Publix, Target or Walmart. Plus, discount if you are Amazon Prime member. Hate having to drive clear to Gainesville (~50 miles) to vist from Ocala. But, they have so much for Celiacs & Lactose intolerance we make the trip. If ONLY theyd open one in Ocala! They also offer shopping & pickup now. Good service, mostly friendly people, & FRESH produce.

We need Whole Foods for The Villages. It can be pricey but ready to go items...yummy! We were in Gainesville overnight and going to Whole Foods so much healthier and tastier than drive through fast food! Staff very knowledgeable and helpful!We need Whole Foods somewhere in Villages! May seem pricey but healthy values!

Wish it was more affordable, or else I would come more often. I LOVE their vast seafood selection and pre-made meals. Its a fun store to discover new, healthy products and food, they have a large hot food court for a quick lunch or dinner, and the team is very friendly.

I like this store. A bit pricey for a single elderly woman on a budget. I needed coconut mana. I called ahead and asked about availability. After a bit of a wait, I hung up to check the website. Received a call back, telling me there was plenty of mana. I drove there and couldnt find it and asked a young Gentleman stocking shelves. He knew exactly what I wanted and informed me there was only one jar left. In about 20 minutes they sold out? Bought a pack of Beyond Sausage. 9.99 and the expiration date was for that day. They were not frozen. Winn Dixie will take off a dollar for old items. Whole foods is amazing for people with money. I will probably be ordering online from Amazon. Its fine tho. Pandemic has prices up.

Excellent market, I buy all my fruits,meat, fish, and poultry. I am very concern about pesticides and GMOS. I walk the entire store looking for new things and I always find new stuff. Also I love the soap selection and natural products for the hair.

Review №35

It was wonderful. Wasnt to crowded. Had been looking forward to going to one for awhile. Was awesome that actually was able to find one locally in a neighboring city. Very fresh product. Yes pricey but is worth every penny. Different types of product available. Natural organic healthy some yes canned and yes lots of fresh visiting one is worth the while. I loved it.

Great food and great staff, its just so absurdly overpriced sometimes. It depends on what you buy.The parking has a free EV charge point, though, which is nice. The NFC for it is broken, but you can turn it on directly through the app.

January 9th Saturday around 4 pm I shopped at whole foods Gainesville fl location . I purchase some sword fish that was horrible. I live 2 hours away in Howey in the hills. Im also a prime member and scan my app code every time I make a whole foods purchase. This morning Sunday I contacted the main corporate whole foods number to see if they can tell that store to stop selling the sword fish that got my wife and I sick . 2 hours later Im still on hold. Warning to all !!! please look , smell before purchasing any seafood from whole foods . FYI the whole foods app I just found out does not track your purchase . Other wise Whole Food shopping experience is and was great. My purpose of this review is to contact the store in Gainesville . I tried few times and no one answers . Just once some one responded by saying hello and hanged up the phone. Not sure if the number they have is of that whole food store. Usually when you call any company you would think people would answer the phone by saying first the companys name . you would only thinkUPDATE !!!!! Sunday 01/10/2020 1;19 PM THe manager Benjamin did contact me and was very nice and professional . So I will give them 4 stars because at the end getting bad fish does happen especially in HOT Florida. whole Foods resolved the issue I hope , TY

Whole Foods are held to higher standard than most grocers, and even as far as that standard goes, this location is 5 stars. The produce is especially well selected.

Ive always been under the impression that Whole Foods meant whole grains, but not in the hot bar. You want rice, they have white rice, probably unique to this particular franchise.

Review №53

This is the first Whole Foods that I have regularly been able to go to and I have to say that I am now a Whole Foods fan. There Hot and Salad bar are very good, and their coffee/cafe options are not bad either. I absolutely love the Stevia/Monk-Fruit soda that they have and I think its the best diet soda that I have ever tasted.Their seafood area is very good and their staff that works it is extremely knowledgeable and more than willing to spend the time to talk with you about any and all topics relating to the seafood which is great.I love their eating/dining/cafe area, and accompanied with the WiFi service I find myself often going there to have a coffee and do a little bit of shopping only to find myself also staying and eating lunch or dinner.They do have a problem with squatters in the eating area that never buy anything. Many of the same people are always there sleeping and loitering, I feel if they dont address this, it will soon become a real problem. Review would be 5 stars if not for this.Regardless of the above, this really is a great place to shop and a great place to hang out. Im super glad that Whole Foods came to town.

Whole Foods is a great health foods store. They have a wide selection of healthy, organic, non-GMO, and otherwise unadulterated goods. I was nearby so I scheduled a pick-up order. The earliest pick-up time was 2 and a half hours away. I handled some business close by and within an hour my order was ready. Pick-up was hassle-free and the employee was excellent. My groceries were packed with care. All my produce was top quality, which was the big test. Whole Foods is doing it right. Also the Amazon app worked flawlessly.

Review №55

For such a big store it didnt see like it had a wide variety of certain things (like salad dressings, etc). Most of the stuff we got was good, but oranges were not. Pretty busy in the whole store. Nice place, but I dont think I would go out of my way to go there right now.

Great service but ridiculous that you all opened the cafe area before we have reached herd immunity. So disappointed that Whole Foods does not value public health or the health of their employees. Quite disgraceful that this company which claims to have lofty ethics is okay with putting their hardworking employees at risk.

Review №61

Whole foods has something for everyone. Theyre likely to have something you didnt know that you want 😊 from vegan to artisinal cheese.. there is something in everyones price range. You can ask to try something before you purchase. (CHEESE) Or a baked good,depending on the day. If you are a prime member? Dont forget about the discount 😉

This is my fifth visit over the course of several months, so I feel like I can give an honest review. WHOLE FOODS is amazing. It just is. The store is always clean. The staff are always nice and helpful. Ben literally walked with me to find items on my grocery list. He also had first hand knowledge about the specific items I was about to purchase. I got some vegan recipes, too (that might not be a Whole Foods service, so don’t necessarily expect that). There is a wide variety of quality products to choose from.I have shopped for myself as well as taken advantage of the online ordering. Wowser. I was able to run by and pick up groceries on my way to pick up my kids. This was a life saver as my kindergartener was tired and fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. I’ll be using that service more. My produce was fresh (that was a concern getting a personal shopping service).We are fortunate to have a good selection of grocery stores in this area, but I prefer Whole Foods.

Review №75

New self check out lanes are a NIGHTMARE. Extremely problematic and frustrating. Spent almost 15 mins trying to get checked out with a handful of items. Prices rung up were different than the listed sale price, multiple associates werent able to help or override the system. The screen kept locking, requesting an associate. They ended up ringing me up again on a different check out machine. Frustrating and time consuming experience. Will not shop there or ever use a self checkout ever again. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE.

I have long enjoyed the Whole Paycheck store even though it is pricey- great selection of foods and seductively displayed. I try not to go often though, primarily because of the Amazon ownership- the megastore doesnt need to control any more of the market or get any more of my money, especially given their record of employee treatment.

Review №85

Love coming here but there’s never any vegan desserts besides cookies (the other whole foods have vegan pies) and lately there’s only ever two check out lanes open so the lines go hallways down the isle and it takes like 20 min just to pay for your stuff. i understand if budget cuts have been happening and if that’s the reason, but it’s super frustrating to have to stand in line for that long, especially when the smaller item check outs are rarely open
