Arianna, Page, Jamari, and Nicki were TOTALLY awesome! I give them ALL a πŸ’―πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ! They were prompt in serving my family of 6 and they were patient with us as we asked about particular items and quite knowledgeable of the entire store!Special thanks to whomever hired them! We’ll be back soon and we’ll for SURE tell everyone we know about our experience!

They have this sign up everywhere in the beauty, vitamin, supplements section and yet only one that are on sale are the one that has sale sign on it. It confuses customers and I believe they are doing it intentionally. I even had item scanned and told me it would be discounted afterwards but learned that it didnt do that and end up not buying everything. Emplyees gave wrong info about the discount program and told me everything here is 25% off from discounted items. This is nothing but false advertising and scamming customers. Look at the supplements picture one sale sign, which I try to buy but wasnt discounted. Why would u put curcumin bottle showing and yet there is no discount? You go and try this see this fraud for yourself.

When it comes to nutrition and vitamins zwhole Foods is the spot. The help and support i received from the very amazing black woman who truly impressed me with her knowledge of the whole foods product line was astonishing. She never promoted the highest price but the product best in serving my need. Man I bought the sweetest fresh grapes almost like eating pure sugar and there is a plus to being a Prime member the discounts saved a few dollars.

Good variety of fruits available here. They have good variety of hot foods and salads. They also have an Olive Bar. They also have a good selection of Seafood and Meat. This store is spacious and well maintained. Staff here is very friendly. Mask is compulsory for in store shopping and sanitizer is available at the entrance.

Bought a chocolate cake for birthday. Boy, was it loaded with SUGAR! Hey, Whole Foods, what about healthy eating? Maybe it’s organic sugar? Too much of of it will kill. I will properly discard. What a disappointment.

As a regular customer of the Merchants Walk Whole Foods for over one year, I feel like I am able to make some accurate observations about the operation. There are some very friendly and attentative people who work there. In particular, there is one lady in the cold cuts/prepared foods section who is excellent. Similarly, there are some people in the produce and dairy department who are outstanding. The fish department is understaffed, but they generally try their best. However, the meat department is a real problem. The men in this department often talk among themselves and will totally ignore you if you are standing in front of them waiting to be served. This morning, they were sharing a very long fishing story with another employee who was standing right next to me as I was looking at them to be waited on. I tried to not go over the that department for a while because I saw how into this fishing story they were. Finally, I had no choice. After standing in front of them for a while and being ignored, I eventually walked away with my cart and they just kept on talking. Sadly, they must not pay much attention to the quality of their work either. For example, we stopped buying chicken and beef kabobs there because on more than one occasion we have found produce labels still on the peppers of the kabob stick (pretty gross after being cooked on the grill). There have been a few times when the meat department has been attentive, but Its few and far between. I assumed the reason for the attentiveness on these rare occasions was because they were expecting a corporate inspection or mystery shoppers. The above rating is strictly for the unattentive meat department, not the other departments.

I bought a bag of small oranges and the second day when I opened them most of them were rotten. One that I salvaged was dry and hard and not edible. I should have checked the bag closer. But for the prices you have to pay I would expect higher quality. So disappointed.This is amended as I took the bag back and they refunded my money. Thank you.

I really enjoy doing my grocery shopping here, you cant beat the variety. They have it all, and its fresh. I wouldnt recommend going whilst hungry though, all their fresh ready to eat is too tempting... you may leave with $15 worth of their fresh cookies and eat the whole bag on your drive home, you know, before your kids can get to them πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Everytime I visit this particular Whole foods, it appears that it is quite uninviting. Compare that to say one in Avalon. Not fair conparison, but still. Layout, selection severely lacking. Prices, like all WF, are high. but also incorrect As an example, Ben& Jerry ice cream was supposed to be 2 for $7 or something. I did buy two and lo and behold, I am charged $5 each. I dont crib for few pennies but for a $4 blunder. Ugh.Store is nice and clean though.Good community involvement.Parking is plenty, but across from main access path (so a little hassle).

Hard to dislike a whole foods.The store is meticulous. The people are abundantly happy to help, advise, share recipes, or educate if you so desire.The butchers are tiptop and Ive personally gone home w multiple different cuts of meat and plans for dinner because of their enthusiasm about what they were telling me about.My kids love to push the children size karts around.The quality of food is of course great and their hot bar, while not the largest, has a plethora of options for that on the go need.

Review β„–50

While I love the products they have it would be great if the hot bar and cold bar were changed out on a regular basis. The food is the same most of the time and looks so unappetizing. We like to come up to make lunch and dinner instead of restaurants but it is getting ridiculous to see the same food choices every time. Better veggie choices and stop making food with canola oil!!! You guys are supposed to be a step above other places so use better oils to cook with! Add more things without wheat/gluten and keep the soy out unless it is Asian foods.

Better prices than before. You still have to shop selectively, but now the store is reasonable enough to walk into. I come here primarily for the fruits and vegetables as they are better than at most of the other stores, and priced much closer to other locations.

A nice Whole Foods as they all are but this one lacks terribly in the hot bar department. Each time I’ve gone there’s barely any food, some items at other Whole Foods don’t taste as great here as the other places. I love the Mac and Cheese at Whole Foods but at this one it was gross and super watery. And then there’s only one station for the hot bar... The pizza station pizza didn’t even look as great as the other Whole Foods either

Edit: My experience lately has been better. Received friendly service, while getting my coffee. The customer service staff was very helpful, too.I like Whole Foods and what they stand for, but their sales people are not consistently helpful and friendly. More times than not, they seem disinterested in helping, except for the employees who work in the beauty isles. Please train your folks to know how to care for your customers.

What a great establishment this is. Most of the employees are some of the kindest people. The slight chance that something does go wrong will undoubtedly be made right by customer service and then some. Shoutout to Josh from the deli, hes the man! Not sure if hes still actively working here but he was the best. I can say that the new tall slim guy working the deli/sandwich bar is awesome too, very genuine and kind human being and does every part of his job right. The Merchants Walk Sandwich is unmatched to any other sandwich. That will be all.

This store will carry an item and then one day they don’t have it. When you ask if the item can be ordered they say β€œyes”. But the truth is they do not order it!! The service here is an F-. If I could give zero stars on service I would.I asked for an item two months ago and they kept telling me they ordered it. Then I found out yesterday they never ordered it - wow!! I’ve asked the manager in that department several times if the order came in and she kept telling me they had a place for it on the shelf. Deliberate lie! I’ve given up on this store. I’ve consistently found the service from the people that work here to be F-. How is it that the same Whole Foods in Sandy Springs is so much better? I’ve given up on this store. I know if I’m having this experience other customers are too.

The Whole Foods at Merchants Walk is great. My wife shops there frequently (and all the way from Barrett Pkwy and Dallas Hwy). Meats, poultry, and seafood. They have great rotisserie AND smoked chickens as well. They have the highest quality vitamins that we use and can only find there. To my wife, its worth the gas.

Review β„–70

Nice atmosphere but pricey. Compare store brand to other grocery store brand, Whole Foods is generally 20-30% higher or more in some cases. BUT, its much easier to purchase foods that do not have all of the extra ingredients like high fructose syrup, sugar and other chemicals you cannot pronounce. We usually travel to multiple stores as there are 5 choices all within a 5min drive. When you factor your time and multiple trips, there is still savings.

Americans need to take out a personal loan of 40,000 to eat healthy? I spent 200 Euro per month in Germany and ate healthier than Whole Foods.However, price point aside, for those Americans who are Health food conscious, this does seem to be an appropriate place to go.hopefully in the future whole foods will be a little bit different with price points and offerings for food. I am all in the idea for organic and as healthy as possible eats & treats. But I think for now, 4share for buying healthy food is on this place.Perhaps in the future will be more of an establishment of whole foods and it may be a little bit less expensive.Come on America, lets all cross our fingers and hope better price changes at whole foods together!But I also must say, when I lived in Amherst Massachusetts, going to whole foods was a welcoming trip for me!so I guess it depends on the location, the circumstances, and the money in my walletwhich will change my views on the prices of whole foods market from time to time.Still though, for more natural and more healthy foods. I believe whole foods is starting hey revolution as how us Americans eat as a nation.

Clean and well stocked store, mostly nice and friendly employees except the lady at the juice bar seemed to miss the customer service class upon hiring. I had my son with me and after a few minutes of Hold on baby, just waiting for the nice lady to assist us I asked how long it would take to make a smoothie and she said 5-7 minutes, and then continued cleaning. When we finally got our smoothie she just handed me the ticket and said to just take it to the front shes not doing it here (it wasnt anywhere near closing time which threw me off) and then rolled her eyes at her fellow employee who came to talk to her as I was walking away. Extremely rude and left me feeling like I dont want to come to this Whole Foods again.

Review β„–84

I have been shopping at this store since they opened. When they brought in this team lead John to head up the cheese department, he stopped carrying one of the items i purchase(d) every week. So, I requested the item 5 TIMES. Every week i would go in and asked if they got it in, and each time I would get a different excuse. This last time John told me they had ordered it, but they were unable to get it anymore. I couldnt believe the line of BS and different excuses. This is really a case of John cant be bothered to take care of his customers. So, i complained to the manager on duty Leon, and said that i could find this item at the Sandy springs store, so why couldnt i get it from this store? Leon came back 10 minutes later and said he called the Sandy Springs store and they no longer had the item either. Leon said the item had been discontinued and NONE of the stores carried it. I had a feeling I was not being told the truth, so I drove down the road to the Sandy Springs store - and there it WAS ON THE STORE SHELF. I even took a picture as proof. I then talked to the Sandy Springs managers on duty, and told them what had been said to me.Lets just say these managers get it - its called we want your business and we are a customer service oriented store. So, what does the MERCHANTS WALK STORE think I am some kind of idiot? The was really a NO CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE. This store has really gone down the tubes in the last year. The bakery has days old items that I wouldnt feed to my dog. The store employees (John and Leon) have negative customer service attitudes. When you go to the manager on duty to complain about a problem, you would think they would NOT lie to you... Seriously, the company culture in this store is horrible and hence the 1 star review. Right across the road are two other grocery stores that would love my weekly $$$. I just refuse to give anyone my $$$ who does not appreciate my business.

Whole Foods is perhaps the only supermarket I enjoy visiting. The Fair Lakes location is a true flagship, too! I never imagined visiting a grocery store that serves freshly-cooked Peking Duck wraps and fondue.My wife and I frequently buy fresh produce here.

We meet our friends here on the occasion for dinner in the sports bar.Whole Foods has become an integral part of our lives!

The quality of the prepared foods at this location has been on a steady decline. I used to come in 5 days a week for the hot bar breakfast and sometimes lunch. For the past several months the menu has been getting less diverse and generally less appetizing. A couple weeks ago I was getting some bacon from the breakfast bar and there was a piece that was just straight up raw. Today my co worker got himself a bagel. He covered it with cream cheese, bit into it, and noticed a nice big patch of green mold on the bottom!So, sorry Whole Foods East Cobb, but we are breaking up. Get it together with the quality control.

So Im addicted to the chicken fried tofu, have to be mindful of consumption. Sometimes its really good & others it is too moist. The paleo kale was way too salty last time I guess it just depends on which cook is there. Hopefully they can get things back on track. Overall the prepared food is pretty good, just inconsistent.

I ordered bouquets for my wedding party and myself. I talked on the phone twice with Angie in the floral department and even went into the store for an in person meeting. I showed her photos of bouquets I liked, we discussed types of flowers to use, price points to not go over, and she took notes. When I went to pick up the bouquets, she charged me $30 per bridesmaid bouquet instead of the $20 price cap we had discussed. My bridal bouquet was HIDEOUS! It was in the shape of a pageant winners bouquet and it was FULL of plain white roses. I told her in our meeting that I did not like plain roses so she said she would special order garden roses for me. I didnt have time on the day of pick up to complain and wait for her to make me a new bouquet because I had to drive 4 hours to the wedding location for rehearsal. Looking back, I should have just said I did not like it and left it at the store without purchasing it. I was in such a hurry to get to my rehearsal that my judgement was clouded. Luckily my maid of honor came up with a plan after she saw how horrible my bouquet was. We dismantled it to create an actual wedding bouquet shape and took out all of the roses. We had to add in reception flowers to make up for the roses since Angie had put so many in the bouquet. I know that Whole Foods is a grocery store, but I had read such positive things about using Whole Foods for wedding flowers.
