One of the better Whole Foods that I have been to.It is very clean, spacious, and well designed. The aisles are wide apart and the store is one whole rectangular space that is easy to navigate through, making the grocery shopping experience even more enjoyable.Nice to have a deli corner, and many self check-out kiosks in this store, which usually makes the line move faster.

This a high end market chain in US. It has hot food and cold salad part sections. It is good option to get high quality food with good prices.

Pretty well stocked, standard WF fare, I really like the tie-in with Amazon because it makes returning things so simple. Very polite people working there, absolutely zero complaints. (And that’s very unusual for me!) Happy they got more sake finally!

Worst Whole Foods location in United States. 6:30PM they are out of almost all food. Pizza closed at 5:30. Hot food plates mostly empty. Nothing is there. They dont even have basic things like potatoes all 7 times Ive been there.Ive never seen a mess like that in Whole Foods and I traveled through most of states and whole foods locations out there.

Tonight while I was at self-checkout, a bottle of Italian soda fell of the shelf and smashed between me and the person next to me. It looked like someone was pushed it over while stocking the shelves and didn’t notice. My sandals were sticky from the soda and a bit of glass got into them. I’m annoyed that not one employee said anything as I was clearly splashed with soda and glass, didn’t ask me to step aside, and just assumed I would get out of the way of them cleaning while I awkwardly finished ringing up my groceries from the side of the machine. Otherwise, I like this Whole Foods.

My husband saw an elderly woman trying to use the restroom in an emergency situation and no one was willing to give her the bathroom code unless she purchased something first while the checkout line was exceptionally long. Completely unacceptable and would expect better from a Whole Foods. Have never heard or seen this policy at any other Whole Foods location across the country or in Seattle. Store Manager Senait should be ashamed of allowing this policy to impact loyal shoppers.

This Whole Foods may be one of the best location for transportation. It is right off the bus line for 3 routes and the trolly from South Lake Union to downtown. They have remodeled it a little so that it has like 20 self serve check outs and only 5 manned registers. The only down side is that the items are very expensive compared to Safeway or QFC.

This is the first time Ive been in whole foods since the pandemic. I was very pleasantly surprised to see how much more reasonable prices have become. The quality and selection is still good and now its a lot more affordable. I guess I cant call it Whole Paycheck anymore.

Wonderful store this is definitely the most high-tech store that I have been to of late. Due to covid-19 they have made some alterations when you go inside otherwise the store is fabulous and very clean.

The store is clean and has lots of fresh meat and produce options. It also has lots of shelf stable options and a decent size bakery.

Nice location, has a lot of options but theres always a lot of people. Bathrooms can only be accessed if you have a payment receipt so be aware of this, parking is good and free if you buy for 2 hours.

Ive shopped at them in many large Metro areas around the country. This one I would rate a 3/10. They could do better.

Being a Personal Chef I grocery shop at a lot of different markets. I feel like I have a good sense of service and product. Whole foods had everything I needed today except for shallots. I thought the meat department was a highlight because they had excellent selection of so many types of meats. I also noticed a Mexican food area that was new. My first time parking in the downstairs. All in all it was a very good experience.

Frankly other than David, my cashier, I was very frustrated by bit being able to use the restroom before I finished my shopping. I am aware people may come in to only use the restroom, but when I asked another associate, his response was I dont know the code. Total BS. Thanks David for being cool even though I really had to use the restroom.

Whole foods doesn’t allow you to use their restroom unless you buy something. I really wanted to use the restroom before shopping at the Wholefoods but they didnt allow me to use since they want a receipt to let us use the restroom. Really a poor customer service and bad customer experience.

Decent overall usually arrive on foot but will park today as I have a dental appt nearby so will be driving. Previous experiences (many) give net 3 stars.The good: well organised, nice staff (not security), great produce and bulk. Great seafood.The meh: lighting too bright, prices still too high mostly, cheese counter just ok, wine selection ok but qfc betterThe bad: They have seattle police in there illegally bcz they are not private security and this is not city property. Incident some years ago with security. Sorry phone at 1%

Review №34

Shopped here for 7 years pretty good in terms of Whole Foods.Biggest inconvenience is they recently changed the bathroom to only have the code at the bottom of the receipt. I asked multiple attendants and they all told me I had to buy something first instead of just giving it to me first.

Review №45

I would say just the bathroom experience alone at the WFM fails to “continually raise the bar of the customer experience”. When it takes five minutes to get a Bathroom code so your 2yo doesn’t have an accident because “we don’t know the code” it makes it unlikely for us to return here. Location/parking/general approach to CS (or lack there of) makes it less desirable, surprising given proximity to AMZ HQ. Mask wearing by WFM employees makes QFC look like it takes Covid more seriously. Rather tone deaf. The difficulty in finding and returning a cart from the Main Street level entrance is also not super customer centric.

We shop here almost daily and my mom needed to use the restroom. She went to ask what the code was and two of the staff refused to give her unless she made a purchase. Thankfully we found a receipt from yesterday that we could use. Staff should take in consideration senior people and health conditions. So heartless. We are always given the code in other states and even in PCC market.

I love this place, and always get courteous efficient customer service. I do hate that some people think customer service means employees need to shuck and jive, do a little dance, or have a five minuet conversation to appease customers. these people have empty lives. thank you Whole Foods for getting me and all others through the line as quickly as possible so I can go about my day.

An excellent market with fresh groceries! My favorite item is their fruit tart. They do a better job making fruit tarts than the other bakeries do in town, in my opinion.

Review №60

Centrally located store with a good selection of fresh produce, and beauty and health products you expect from Whole Foods.The checkout area has been modified this year to add a lot of self-checkout stands (most likely due to pandemic contact concerns).Store layout does change often, particularly in the bulk foods and produce areas, but the staff are very helpful in helping you hunt down an item on your shopping list.

Conveniently located this whole foods is clean and well kept. I go here sometimes to find deals on yogurt or kombucha. They have free parking above in the roundabout with other shops. Tried to get Thanksgiving dinner here before but they sold out so fast so be sure to check stock on something before you go in if you really want it.

Very good and large Whole Foods Market with variety of local coffee, wine and cholocolates collection. Here you can find variety of meat and seafood. The bulk quantity buy section with all kinds of nuts, flours and coffee is great. Only thing they can improve is having loose tea leaves section as well in bulk quantity section. The self checkout is helpful during these times of Covid.

Review №76

5 stars for variety, freshness and product availability.1 star(sadly cant do zero) to customer service.It was around closing time one fine day and raining outside, a typical Seattle winter day and an employee Er*ca was very adamant and literally shoved us out of the store. She did not even let us spend 10 seconds inside the store to book a cab.It is highly disappointing to be treated this way, especially when it was just a matter of 10 seconds of staying inside the store. Is it too much to ask for? To be able to safely book a cab from inside the store before I could leave with 4 full size bags? She was super agressive and least interested in helping us out. Very dissatisfied!!

Really not fun sitting for 10 minutes at checkout while employees ignore you. Doubley not fun when Whole Foods employees respond rudely when you indicate that youve been waiting a long time.Not sure if this is just a Whole Foods thing, not going to take the chance though.

Review №84

Being a corporate giant like Amazon, they have done a good job of preserving the whole foods dynamic. Got several items, including salted carmel which is delish. Also, their buffet style prepped food items, while pared down due to the concerns over the spread of a certain disease, is still very tasty and varied. So, do yourself a favor and go there to the Westlake and Denny Whole Foods location. Get yourself some savory and different, fresh hot and inviting dishes for price by the pound today. You cant go wrong.

Use reusable cloth bags for groceries. If at all you choose to use the recyclable paper bags, just take few extra because they are not durable and in rains they just tear away.

First time coming here. We are prime members but have never been to Whole Foods. Asked a simple question about how the discounts work and our cashier Jane went into a 15 minute long rant about the customers not knowing how things work. She was extremely patronizing and did not make our Whole Foods experience pleasant. Was shocked at how rude she was. Will not be shopping at Whole Foods again.

Review №95

This is a well-run Whole Foods, with a nice cheese bar, self-checkout in two separate areas, and the self-checkout technology is really easy to use. All employees I have ever interacted with have been phenomenal, especially Elodie. She helped me when I was looking in the health section. They have a huge selection from health and beauty products, including a great toothpaste area. They have a sandwich bar and pizza bar and the hot food is now back open! The only thing that is sort of unfortunate is you have to buy something before using the bathroom, because the bathroom code is printed on your receipt, and the employees wont tell you what it is. Considering I spend about $500 a month here, just let me use the bathroom before I go shopping if I have to go.

The lady who was as cashier on 12 Dec 2020 at 8:30 pm.She was so rude. Simple snatches things from hands without speaking a word. Stuffed things into the bags which made it difficult for us to carry. She did not have courtesy to ask. In the end, just threw the bill into the bag with no due respect towards customer.Very Bad Experience.
