There are larger and newer Whole Foods in the city, but the selection and staff here and second to none. Also, love the butcher shop where there’s dry aged steaks (but often get sold out) and actual knowledgeable people behind the butcher and seafood counters. I appreciate the constant updates to this local, as well. Oh, and the cooked food buffet (opened now post-COVID) is a life saver on busy nights!

Now here is a great Farmers Market! Fresh produce!

There is a reason they call it whole check. While the selection is good, you shouldnt have to be overcharged for organic and other healthier options. Aldi has many options, great quality and far better pricing.

Alternative meats section and mushrooms are limited and cant get them without plastic. Bulk section is just okay, but tbh better than almost anywhere else. Otherwise great service, and was able to get my own mason jars tared.

Always happy with the sandwiches. My go to is the farmhouse, add turkey, and add fig spread. It is so so so good. They make picnic baskets and great cheese plates to go. Nice selection of wine and other goodies.Its easily my number one choice when I want to grab food to take to Millenium for a movie in the park, or orchestra show.

I did grocery pickup for the first time today and it was great- so easy and so convenient! The employee who loaded up my car was very polite and helpful, I wish shoppers could accept tips. I am definitely going to use this method again, such a time saver. Everything was packed well and everything I ordered was there.

Super disappointed they are not bringing back the seating area. I understand they have a lot of Amazon shoppers, but the Red Star bar was a great community area. My study partner and myself used to go their everyday to study and we met so many great people and the workers (Sylvia and Chandler) who were always super nice at the bar and had trivia which made the atmosphere fun. Since they got rid of the area, we will not be going back to this whole foods. To me it just shows they care more about their money then bringing a community together. I do want to give a shout out to Ana, though, one of the cleaners at whole foods for she is the nicest person and such a hard worker. The employees were always great at this location, but super disappointed in the management who decided to get rid of the red Star bar.

Great $5 WINE & CHILL Event from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm that happens every 3Rd Friday of the Month. 4 wine tastings, paired with decent 2-bite and a commemorative wine glass. If you bring your own wine glass on next event, you get $1 off (Event price becomes $4). Staff was courteous, knowledgeable, and kind.It was also a nice surprise that there were wine and alcohol tastings.

I live in Northern Illinois, we dont have a whole foods, nor would a Whole foods work in the Stateline. I love the concept of whole foods, I visit one each time Im in a city that has one. This visit, at N. Halsted street, I just bought bread and pizza for me and my family to eat right away. The pizza is pretty darn good. This store did not have gelato. I have come to the conclusion whole foods is overpriced. The packaged foods can be found at stores like woodmans and Mejier for less. You could visit some farmers markets for fresh from the garden produce in the summer. Im sure you have a wider selection of seafood in other establishments in Chicago, youre the largest city in the state by a lot. The baked goods are the best grocery store bakes Ive had, but Chicagoland had great European style bakeries. Whole foods is a good place to get a tasty bite for a decent price.

Whole foods Market is in real sense a complete and whole foods available place. We get fresh vegetables and fruits, wide array of cereals, all kinds of milk, yogurt, variety of cheese, wine, cookies, sauces, pizzas, all kinds of bread, flours, crepes and several other foods. Nice place and I like it.

Review №19

This whole foods is a medium sized, easy to navigate grocery store. The meat counters are not in the most ideal location and the rear of the store seems to lack purpose. Theres an unimpressive beer fridge back there somewhere. All in all, better than a number of whole foods in the city.

Review №25

When you have a complaint about an incident and report it to the Store manager “Christy” she is unapologetic, rude and impolite. Whether you’re a loyal shopper spending at least $750 monthly groceries at Wholefoods or even if you are Amazon prime member for over a decade it doesn’t make a difference for her. I don’t understand how she’s the store manager for such a big company with that kind of poor customer service.

Ive been to grocery stores all over, including various Whole Foods. This place seems fancy, especially compared to the days of yore when the West Loop was a neglected frontier. But its really no big deal. The food bar and deli are better than the nearby Marianos and the selection seems vast, but the place is not as clean and the customer service is more mundane than at other locations. If theyre going to charge higher prices, they should offer an environment that matches. Otherwise, its like the Dominicks that we lost all over the city.

This store has a great selection of food, but I was looking for Apple Cider in the box packets and they were no where to be found. But the store is located in the west loop not to far from other variety stores. Please by all due means get out of the house walk around get some fresh air and visit a store near you.

I use to love coming here. But after my last trip Ive decided to never come back. Way too many employees not covering their nose. Last time I was here I saw at least 3 of their amazon shoppers with their noses uncovered. Its not fun trying to avoid them in aisles. If you take COVID seriously, I recommend shopping elsewhere.

This review is for their new bulk ice cream mochi :DA few WFM has gotten a fridge full of variety of ice cream mochi. They are $2 each or 6 for $10. They are surprisingly good! Better than those in boxes. I got strawberry, mango, red bean, vanilla bean, black sesame, and matcha here. The matcha one was the worst, it didnt taste like green tea at all. Strawberry and mango are not bad - the good artificial flavor, not overly fake and sweet. Theres actual red bean in the red bean one, averagely good. Vanilla bean is plain, but its good! The best was the black sesame, very robust flavor if you like that!

Kitchen here is great. Today they had Vegan Mac n Cheese on the food bar that was so delicious..The pizza slices have been cooked well done, as they should, and have been fantastic lately. I would call them artistic!Power Greens on the salad bar! Store shelves are always stocked .No wasted trip here.This is one of my favorite Whole Foods produce departments too.Nice size store and fun to sit and gave a meal.

Best grocery store hands down. I come here a lot and they only have fresh produce, I like salads and fish, a little t f fish. Fish is always fresh and I can count on Whole Foods all day long. Nice people working there Mike another day was offering me a help to roll down my cart, because I was with my animals, its so nice of him. Easy parking, nice and clean restrooms. All those things making this store stand apart from other stores in town. It is truly professional spot with outstanding services all year around. Keep up the good work!

Pretty standard whole foods, a bit on the smaller side. Has a sandwich stand, pizza maker, salad bar, hot bar, gelato bar, coffee bar, and alcohol bar. Nice gluten free selection as usual, two freezers of bread and sweets. Self checkout has been recently installed.

Review №53

This is not my favorite Whole Foods in the city but it is decent. Their hot food/prepared foods section is a tiny bit lacking. I feel like since they are in the West Loop, they should have a fabulous section since so many people come in on their lunch break! The seating area is also almost always filled whenever I go by.Otherwise it is another typical Whole Foods!

I eat here for lunch 5 days a week. The hot food they prepare is excellent, but the variety is terrible. I wish they would mix it up some. It feels like I have the same BBQ chicken, green beans, and potatoes every day. Other Wholefoods have better variety, so I know its possible.

Meh. Hot bar is kinda mediocre and the bakery as well. Fruit medley from the fridges in front wasnt the freshest. Employees were nice and helpful though.

Whole Foods never fails to amaze me! Every time I visit that store I am amazed by the cleanliness of the store, the phenomenal variety of Fresh Foods, and the variety of foods that you have ready to take home to go! What an awesome thing to be able to stop for a glass of wine while you are doing your shopping! The olive bar is wonderful the dolly is wonderful the cheese section is the best in the neighborhood by far. If you are looking for a great local place to shop this is your place!

I was super early to an appointment and stopped here for lunch. Got a couple slices of pizza and really enjoyed my lunch. Healthy and still tasty. This whole foods has a small seating area.. While much smaller than other city locations I like it quite a lot. The service was quick, the seating area was clean and comfortable and I did buy a few grocery items after my appointment.

This is a nice Whole Foods. You will walk out with a big dent in your wallet, but you knew that going in, didnt you? Anyway its spacious and well stocked. As par usual, theyll have stuff you cant get anywhere else. And its a nice walk to many workplaces (like mine) in downtown, so you can go grab some takeout lunch.

I love this Whole Foods. Usually a pleasant experience - no matter where I am at inside the store.I will say, however, that today I was there around 1:30, and it seemed a bit understaffed. My cashier seemed flustered, and her agitation was visible— perhaps more checkout staff on week days around lunch time would help!

They pizza looked terrible, this has been awhile, they need to upgrade their pizza already cooked, no sausage not ever when I come in, they need to keep sausage, no ice cream bars I wanted, they need the machine with just fruit bars, others have--I visited today; i have a problem that their front door is not accessible; i tried to go in using the opener, it did not work; the Security guard is at the door, he is talking; i had to use the turnstile entrance; when I left, my arms were full, I tried to open the accessible door by pushing the opener; i ask Security guard why it did not work; he had an attitude and started to open by pushing it open stating in a toned voice, this is the way you open, I told him, I will report; I need the door to be accessible to enter and leave, I cannot push to get in/out.Thank you-

Review №95

Being Whole Foods, you know its already going to be pricey so I wont get into that.The staff are always super friendly, and actually look like they dont hate their jobs! Which makes it a better shopping experience for you if you like chatting with cashiers haha.They have vegan pizza by the slice, and also some hot/cold vegan options! Its probably the main reason why I go there.They have a lot of plants by the front revolving doors, if your like me and buy herbs at a grocery store.There is a tiny, tiny lot by the doors, with maybe like 8 parking spots, so its sometimes a hassle to park. Id say to park elsewhere or take the train, or walk. Its in a nice area, so walking might give you some nice sights to see along the way!

Only 5 registers open at peak time on a Sunday. Since AMZ took over you can tell they’ve really cut the hours. I used to go to Whole Foods over Mariano’s because of the superior service. Now it’s about the same frustrating experience. I’m still in line after 10 minutes.
