Always fast friendly service, clean store

Close and convenient, this is a nice store but its beginning to seem a lot like Shaws and other grocery stores it carries more regular items. It seems to have much of what other stores carry. I think since Amazon bought it, it has changed. Still has lots of organic food, a little pricey but thats to be expected at Whole Foods! Seemingly always busy, staff is friendly at least the people Ive dealt with. Hot food too! Try it out if youve never been there.😉

Rude staff. We came at 9, not knowing that they were closing, and all they said was closed, closed and then shut the door in our faces.

Pretty typical Whole Foods experience, but it’s pretty small so I don’t always find everything I need, and it often gets quite crowded.

Have healthy foods and best fresh organic beverages and organic vegetables.

A little pricey, but quality of fruits vegetables (try their own brand called 365) make up for it. The 365 ice cream is the best!

This place clearly knows how to serve their customers. Constantly with a very welcoming demeanor. The food is fairly priced, regularly delightful and clean.

Great grocery store. Doesnt have variety though

This Whole Foods doesn’t have a butcher shop unfortunately so there isn’t a wide variety of cuts of meats. Fruits and veggies were also not the freshest although I went early morning right after deliveries to the store.

.ONE HAPPY CAMPER.I trust the source of quality. Wish this business to survive all storms of life and dance in the rain.

My closest WF. I think the employees do the best with what they have. But my complaint lies with two issues. First, you have to watch expiration dates because they are frequently past code. On produce - I have frequently bought items that went bad within days of bringing them home. This month I got moldy strawberries twice in a row - not good. They also frequently run out or just remove popular items from inventory. I was buying Noosa plain yogurt in the large container and all of a sudden they just stopped carrying it, even though Symphony still does. The entire chain has gone downhill since Amazon got it, but I think they could do better here in ensuring their stock is fresh.

Been going here for years and everything is great and good quality food. Just one feedback: the amount of sales you guys loose in the seafood section must be tremendous. Myself, and I’ve seen many others, waiting to get seafood for 10min+ on multiple occasions. I end up leaving as one doesn’t get served. Please have someone there more frequently! Other than that it’s a great store with extremely friendly staff.

Bugs in the garlic, chicken smelled rotten 2 days before the sell by date, broccoli was very soft 4 days after buying it. Im down to spend a bit extra to get healthier/less processed/more sustainable foods, but not if most of the food ends up bad within a few days after purchase. Whole Foods did make it right - they returned/exchanged the goods and things were made whole. Even still, we won’t be shopping here again. It’s more expensive and requires more frequent trips.

This is a small store, so gets crowded, but if you pick your time, its a great store.

Safety first at whole foods in Brookline! One of the few places I feel somewhat safe shopping at during the pandemic, thanks to their adherence to public health guidelines.

I often visit this grocery store. Mostly I come for fresh fish, but I also willingly buy other goods. Excellent shop.

Don’t buy seafood from this Whole Foods. Or if you do, smell it first. I got a pound of shrimp that looked fine but when I opened it at home it smelled like a food poisoning. No, thank you.

This is how the bread looks after 4 days.Never again

EDIT (06/21/20): Bumping this up to 5, QC has greatly improved and have not had the issues described below since the time of writing . Thanks for fixing this Whole Foods!Nice little store for a lot of the essentials, but I have to knock a couple stars. On two separate occasions in the last couple weeks I found out after I got home that I had bought expired milk and bread. While I understand these are hard times, that’s completely unacceptable, you shouldn’t be stocking expired goods and Whole Foods isn’t exactly the cheapest store around either. Please watch your quality control and I’ll consider updating my review.

Ordered some food for pick up to celebrate a mini thanksgiving at home. Everything itemized and prepared, packaged in this convenient box to be taken out to the car. Carried it out by the handles as instructed, didn’t even make it to the car before the bottom of the box completely exploded because it was wet from the refrigerated food.Accidents happen. Nobody’s fault; just an act of chaos. But the employees saw it happen outside the store, employees and even the manager (I think it was Rick?) all came to help me pick up the food items (nearly all in good shape because packages were sealed and protected), exchanged the food, gave me a new dry box with tape for reinforcement, and gave me a gift card for the inconvenience even though it was nobody’s fault. Super nice, friendly, and helpful without being asked or prompted. Above and beyond in terms of customer service.

Scammers and no management on site. Bait and switch. They have signs showing one price and when you get to the register they say you have to be an amazon prime member.

This is a Whole Foods with a very distinctive community feeling. Shopping here is a pleasure.

Small and cozy Whole Foods. It does not have the full inventory that you find at larger ones, but works for the essentials and the staff is formidable.

My go-to place for meat, gluten free food and veggies!

What a kind staff! Becca is an angel. She has been helping with our curbside grocery pickup for weeks and with a smile. Whe always seems to find all the items. All the staff at this location are kind and so willing to go above and beyond to help. We are so grateful!

This place was really nice, has all the essentials, plus some hot foods, pizza, and sushi made in the left side of the store. Theres a meats department, and some produce assortment, which I was impressed by the variety after all the cozy reviews. Recommend.

Niceeeee

Its ok, a bit small so it has a limited selection and not a lot of people follow the current safety rules while shopping. They burn the pizza regularly and sometimes burn the baked goods but the staff is nice and they work super hard.

Small with high prices, but a decent selection of products

Friendly staff.

Very helpful staff. Im a bid short and I couldnt reach something and a staff came and offered his help without me asking!!

Its a city Wholefoods. Extremely small, and pricey of course, but regular high quality Wholefoods.

Smallish Whole Foods with a bakery and fish counter.

Nice little store. Ive gone here for years. Its much smaller than the other whole foods and doesnt always have what options the others have. Seating outside is a good way to spend a lunch or to just hang out!

Nice people, well maintained store, but options are very limited, prices are somehow much higher, sales are not up to par compared to other stores. Basically a ripoff. Its been like this for the 6 years Ive been coming.

Very clean place, excellent customer service but they only have pie like once every other week. But overall a great place with a great atmosphere.

This Whole Foods has a very local natural food market feel and smell to it. Fewer options than your typical Whole Foods, but more than enough.

Since Amazon bought Wholefoods, their price became more reasonable. If you are looking for organic and fresh produces and Trader Joes is not nearby, this would be your shop at the neighborhood. This location is pretty small but they still got a variety of products. Problem is you need to do the shopping in the morning or afternoon cause if you come late, a lot of stuff are going to be sold out.

My go-to place for meat, gluten free food and veggies! Highest quality always!

High quality,clean and fresh food.

Small selection but not bad

Great people

Not an amazing selection as far as WF’s go, but way better than a bodega. Could still have a better hot bar

Fantastic and fully decked out supermarket, with great variety and healthy choices.

I have been shopping at this Whole Foods for more than 20 years. Since Amazon took over, the quality has gone way down and prices have gone up. The produce has always been good, if expensive, but now it is very poor. Fish is often less than fresh. Staff are less helpful and many seem unhappy. I have tried other branches of Whole Foods (Fresh Pond, Westland Avenue, Prospect St.) and its the same story. Sadly I will not be shopping here any more.

Evelina and John are the dyamic duo! I pestered them both twice with laundry money, and instead of scowling and having an attitude they welcomed me with smiles and laughter! Great customer service! This is why I shop here!!

I shop here on a daily basis. It’s an elegant little market with a good variety of food and produce items to choose from. I’ve never had any issues at this Whole Foods in regards to the workers. They are all very nice and helpful people. However, my issue is more on the inventory side at this location as I will periodically find myself in a position that they are either out of stock of a certain Wholefoods item or they don’t have it in stock. This location does not have a complete selection of food and produce items like the Whole Foods location on River street. If you want a full selection, I suggest that location and if I lived closer to Trader Joe’s, I’d probably shop there because the produce is a bit cheaper than the produce at Wholefoods, but since I live only a short walk away from this place, it’s my go-to grocery store. Overall, if you’re in a jam to get some fresh quality ingredients to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner fast on Beacon Street, this is your place. The only reason I can’t give 5 stars at this place is because they don’t have the full inventory of Wholefoods items, but it’s understandable since it’s a much smaller building than the Wholefoods on River Street, which I give 5 stars to since they also sell beer and wine at that location.

Great products and very good services.

Great small store for your essential non conventional needs. Has more a family/corner market vibe. Love this store!

As a former worker at WFM, I was dismayed that rain checks are not given on out of stock products. Although taking initiative is good practice, please ask the customer if they would like another bag instead of assuming they want one. (Bring back the coop, I say. Healthy food for working class heroes!)

Good, tho tight parking

This is one of the smaller Whole Foods in the country. There is no alcoholic section, and in general all sections are very small. After the deal with Amazon the prices have become resonable now. Great sales on seafood. Workers are all very nice.

Good produce, a little pricey

Really good whole foods especially for a quick grocery run. Their sushi looks top- notch and really fresh.

Great convenience. Not the best selection (whole foods generally doesnt have the best selection, but this one is smaller, so more so). Prices are high on products. Really its a convenience play. Otherwise Im at TJs just down the block.

Great as always 🎄

Good groceries and good scale, smaller than any other Whole Foods I have been to. Fun place to walk to.

Delicious make your own sandwiches. Great price. $8.99

Excellent health foods here.

Ohhhh man, what to say. Maybe a tiny bit expensive, but oh man! Great great take out food when you need a good meal on the go

Nice store and items but I wanted to get a couple slices of pizza and was totally ignored as the 2 employees were too busy on the cell phone to pay attention. Im certainly not going to pay to get ignored.

Pricey and small selection. Great vegetables. Nothing google says they have they actually do.

Be sure to check the dates on anything you buy in this location. I recently shopped there and found eggs way past the expiration date (2 weeks past the sell by date), very hazardous to your health. I would also avoid thing in the freezer section, the freezer burn is evident on a lot of the products but not always. Id recommend going to Trader Joes its not too far and they have a better price point. As for food, Id recommend any near by shop, because Id question any ingredients at this location.

Love this Whole Foods. It is a small store, but they have all the essentials. They have great service. I even ordered my flowers for my wedding from this store.

Smallest whole foods in the country. No joke.

It has ererything you need and for a reasonable price

Tiniest whole foods ever, good for picking up a few things but you couldnt do a whole grocery run here, its too small to even have carts. Super friendly and helpful staff.

Among lot of amazing freshly made items, I love their Tiramisu, pizza (yup you read that right) and above all I am addicted to their honey roasted peanut butter that you can grind yourself.

Extremely expensive, common staples rarely in stock, prices marked incorrectly more often than they are correct. I want to cry every time I have to go here because there are no other grocers around 😢

Decent selection for such a small space. Hot bar options are great

Good selection of hot and cold meals. Reasonably helpful staff.

Smallest wfm Ive ever imagined. Helpful team members as always. Selection in perimeter goods was minimal.

Small grocery store, but decent selection for its size, usually not super busy until 5pm and onwards.

Fairly small Whole Foods. Despite its size there is a fair amount of inventory. It is somewhat challenging to navigate around the store when it is crowded but it is otherwise a very serviceable whole foods.

Smaller than the usual whole food, but reliable for your neighborhood shop if you need something really quick.

This is a great food store

Fantastic and fully decked out supermarket, with great variety and healthy choices.

Smaller then a typical WH store. But good to pick up things on the go.

I almost come here twice a week for my grocery. I find sometimes fruits like tomato or berries get mold. But the staff are friendly overall.

Love this small whole foods store found fruit and veggies popcycles that I have not found in the other whole foods stores . Staff also is very polite.

Overpriced even though Amazon took over they are about 30% more expensive than Shaws or demoulas the... Trader Joes is much better bang for the buck

Its a teeny itty bitty whole foods! Must be nice if you live in the neighborhood, but the teensy nature of this shop and limited selection makes it probably the least impressive iteration of the chain in the city.

Its Wholefoods its all good..

Small store but well stocked and good for quick shopping.

Whole Foods Market may be more difficult to shop at because of the location and its also small. This particular stores location; however is perfect for me as I dont drive. I just wish the store had more selections of food for people whom dont have a lot of money to spend!

Extremely limited selection of bread for the size of the store. Also, I have a general feeling that they can utilize the space much better and expand their food selections.

Fantastic selection and service, but they dont call it Whole Paycheck for nothing.

Convenient, line moves fast. Selection isnt bad for its size.

Great staff that work Brookline store there to help you out

This place is really small so keep that in mind. The hot bar is disappointing at best, and a lot of things in stock at a normal whole foods arent here, but its a cute and convenient spot to pick something up.

My favorite grocery store. Expensive but worth it. Nice selection, smaller store. No coffee bar.

Nice and quaint, healthy stuffs, good attitudes-I dont normally shop here but everything points to a repeat visit!

Brought a sandwich every time I buy one. The bread is broken pieces or falling apart

Ive been to better location s

Love Whole Foods, a little pricey but isnt everything these days. Great quality, great selection!

Very small and tiny. Its clean but because of the size the selection is really small. If you can, even the Brighton store on Washington at Comm Ave is much larger than this one. No parking, St Marys T stop is right across the street.

Compact WF Soo you can go through it quickly, yet its well stocked. The big drawback is the lack of parking.

Love the place even though its a little pricey.

A smaller than average WF with all the essentials you known and love.

Small but mighty Whole Foods! Everything you need is there.
