Went to the salad bar today, the food was very Bland and unseasoned. Had very little flavor. Probably wont go back there again for a while.

LOVE this place!Fresh, clean, neat and quality.They always have what I need, they have an amazing selection. I never have trouble finding what I need. The staff is super friendly. The deli counter has great stuff. The people at the fish and meat counter are always great. I cant say enough great things about this market.

Customer Service sucks. I was told the Amazon instore code (on mobile Phone) is only for the sale items, since the item im buying is not on sale, she didnt want to scan it !? I said you shouldnt tell your customers it is only for sale since there are other things involved when you scan this code, She said our customers they know it is for sale items only, as if I wasnt a customer, or look the same as all other customers that are in the know! I said scan it anyway, and she said no.!? And she told me I can go to the other side of the store to the customer service booth if I have any questions, I asked if she can call the manager, she said no you have to go to them!?

Some deli staff is argumentative, rude and confrontational. Javier gave me a hard time at the CD self-serve buffet. Another one gave me grief on another day, but I dont remember his name. Was in the evening. They closed down this buffet 5 minutes before 7 pm. There is no posted notice of closing time, which I now know is 7 pm. I suggest the deli staff (except for Justin, who is always courteous, friendly and helpful) get with program that all the rest of this stores staff operates by. Be helpful, courteous and friendly. If you dont know what those words mean, maybe you should work somewhere else.

Ok. Its Whole Foods. But it always perks me up to shop here. Their weekly sales are posted on their website every Wednesday and I buy all my organic meats here. Pro tip: their chocolate glazed vegan donuts are my treat and their 365 brand sliced sourdough is my sons favorite bread and makes delicious toast!

This is my go to Whole Foods. I enjoy getting fresh herbs and fresh seafood (not the freshest but still delicious). Also, I frequently get cakes from their bakery shop. The cakes are tasty and inexpensive compared to local bakery that have heavy frosting. Tres leches cake is the best!Everyone is required to wear mask before entering due to Covid.

Review №12

Friendly staff as always. Sadly the bakerys cookies/pastry stall have consistently had a weird aftertaste; the lemon cakes for instance tasted like it had either cheap vegetable oil and/or old icing. The 365 (whole foods brand) BBQ chips are also on the fishier side, and are oversalted. Overall, wish the cookies and pastries had better quality - they just dont taste good.(If their potato/vegetable chip selection/quality could be improved, that would be great too, but I dont count it against this Whole Foods market in particular, as its out of their control - its the brands fault.)

Big, beautiful Whole Foods with quick service. Ive always managed to find parking, even on busy days. There is also underground parking, although you may not be able to use it due to COVID.

Review №14

Same selection of stuff youd expect. Has more prepackaged hot food then during the pandemic. Good selection of produce and gluten free food. Sea food, Meat, cheese, take out (pizza, sushi, sliced meats and sides), and a Bakery department all have counters to serve and answer questions at. Also has a fast Amazon.com return center where the bathroom are.

Review №26

Whole foods depends on locale..their deli take home foods which i bought. for the 3rd time hardly any taste..small portions, taste stale or some like leftover from the other day and mixed in with fresh stuff I think..pizza used to be really tasty and big slices last to.e it was bad even tho they had 2 pizza for 20.00..frozen ones were better..their quality and what they use before besides taste really gone down...for example one 9.00 entree with 2 sides but with salmon not a big piece was 12.00 with the 2 small sides not even with it...the chicken salad was hard dry pieces of chicken..this place us high price you would think quality and taste was better.. would not do that take out if food again

Review №28

Nice, clean. Super charger nearby, although thats almost always full during the day. Whole paycheck being whole paycheck, many items are exceedingly expensive. If you are a believer, then sure, its good place to shop. If you are price conscious, there are other grocery stores nearby offering much better prices. I personally think that most of the Organic items are just scams. Some may be really contain less pesticle for example. However, not to a level that would make difference in health.

Review №29

I love the product selection at Whole Foods but this location needs to manage its foot traffic. Its always busy and theres definitely more people in there than there should be. No one manages the number of people going in.On the bright side, they do clean the checkout counters between customers and the store is clean. Cashiers are friendly, too

Review №37

Hate, hate, hate this location. Theyre almost always out of stock in the produce section. Serious stocking issue. I was going to this location once a week for 2 months, but Ive stopped because literally every time, were talking every time, theyre 100% out of stock on staple produce items.They said its because theyre an extremely busy location, which is understandable, but that would imply to me that Amazon has the capital and incentive to stock the shelves even better than other stores in the area. Seems like a supply chain and management issue that could be fixed. The staff are always friendly, but the supervisor just gave excuses and seems incredibly overwhelmed, which is understandable given how often customers must be frustrated. They need some logistics help. Come on Amazon, youre supposed to be the best at this.

A solid whole foods location. Staff is friendly and know where things are if you ask. Besides the cost a good place to shop. Cost being the only downside but quality comes at a price and people shopping here already know what to expect as far as cost goes so still five stars.

Recently bought calamari tubes that smelled like ammonia after I cooked them. I washed them properly, etc... Obviously, I didnt eat those, so I didnt get sick. Another day, the calamari steaks smelled like chlorine even after a very thorough washing... Based on my experiences, I will not be buying seafood here. Im giving 2 stars because they still sell other things, like cheese and a variety of gluten free items.

Fresh and organic produce,wonderful cheese selection with varieties from all over the world.Being of Italian descent, I am partial to the Italian varieties, although they also feature some yummy Spanish,French,and Mexican cheeses as well.They are pricier than there competitors, but you do get what you pay for.Definitely worth checking out.

Lines arent too long, ample parking downstairs, and friendly staff. I second that review sentence. It can get a little crazy upstairs, but there are literally hundreds of parking spots down below. Nice selection of food and drink. Staff tries really hard and is generally nice and helpful! Also, being able to pick up Amazon packages here is a huge in terms of security; the lockers are right up front and you dont have to wait in line to get your stuff out of the lockers.

Nice Whole Foods location. Due to COVID 19 everyone must wear masks and practice social distancing. They opened at 8am, which was around the time we got there. We were pleasantly greeted and reminded before entering the current rules to enter the store. Everyone is doing their best to comply and acting accordingly. Only drip coffee is available which you can get at their bakery section, let them know what size and theyll serve it to you. Of course all of their baked goods are still available 😍and the bulk area are now available and already pre-measured and in containers to avoid any cross contamination. Overall experience was very pleasant. Lets all make this store visit a nice experience for everyone. We took a lot for granted and I thank all to make this trip to the store even possible. Peace out!😷😘✌️

Decided to try out another rotisserie chicken spot. The chicken was very good - tasty, meaty, and a good size. Prices were reasonable as well, and the staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, both sides were cold - if they can fix that issue, this place will definitely deserve 5 stars.

First time doing COOKED TURKEY FULL MEAL P/U from Whole Foods.Some suggestions:1, Started online order 2 weeks before TG, 4 portion $70 was sold out, so ordered 8 person for $130.(who is going to eat all those green beans, a double order!?;)2, Set pick up for 7pm the night before TG, Wednesday.Could have been a week before... Guy told me, Everybody waits till Monday to pick up. HugeUnderground garage in San Mateo I didnt know about, so parked 2 blocks away. Big garage by freeway, a Walk.30 min wait in long line. Sign is confusing, need COOKED MEALS in large glow in the dark letters. Lots of people asking, is this the cold meat line?Next time I will pick up on Sunday night, no line, before Thanksgiving.3, todays CHECK IN FOR PICKUP button on their email did not work, 15min before outdoor cashier, so Chat texted to let them know I was ready and standing in line. Your order is ready! ;))4, Beautiful Gal told me, We ran out of MUSHROOM GRAVY.(What!!??) They gave you something else, Squash. Wasnt Her fault so just smiled(under my mask), but I did Expect Much Better from parent company now, filthy Rich Amazon. PORTIONS boxed, but look SMALL for 8 adults, so will be interesting to open in my tiny 1901 apt kitchen, where the gas range is more Ancient than me.5, 8 portion Turkey is COLD, COOKED, and wrapped in PLASTIC. Diesel brand, 12.6#, no Origin, no Mfc date so no idea how Old it is. I had to ask for re- heating instructions page. Ahem.The size is SMALL(bigger than a rugby ball, maybe) for my family history, maybe 1/4 the usual large bird,,, about 2 Costco rotary chickens I guess. Dont know why I expected it to be Cooked And Warm. Oh well.6, I expected all 1st rate $$$$$ Turkeys to be BRINED for flavor and tenderness, 2020, these days. But from the MENU of pages on a Smart(kidding)phone, it seems only a few of WHOLE FOODS cooked Turkeys are BRINED. I could be wrong, first timer, but $130 for Amazon to Not BRINE,,,!?Tsk tsk. Me and a small cold plastic wrapped bird are going home, enough Adventure for tonight.7 Results:The dressing had lots of Celery bits, gloppy sticky,taste eh, so Not Recommended.The Creamy Mashed Potatoes were just OK.The Turkey Gravy was Good.The Cranberry Orange Sauce was Good.They ran out of cold 24oz packaged Mushroom Gravy and substituted Squash Soup instead of logical more Turkey Gravy!The extra $15.99 Truffled Parmesan Mashed Potatoes were switched for regular, not even Creamy, mashed potatoes, ick. Dont waste a dollar.Maybe Wednesday, hump day, just wasnt my Lucky nite...

I just have to say. How can you not have pepperoni pizza not available at lunch (11-1)? You might say you are late and everyone purchased them right?, but none are in the oven. How do I know? I ask when the next one will be ready. The typical response is like I can make one now. How does that help me now? Im on lunch break. It has been like this for years! Dude.When they do have what you would expect its a good experience. I feel that all the neck beard millennials (or women who choose this behavior) who know how the world should be made my pizza guy do this. There are always weird pizzas available that a guy like me doesnt want-1 star - as it was this way 5 years ago-1 star - as it was this was a week ago

I never liked the service. Almost every time I see arrogant and cold cashiers or other staffs. I shop at Whole Foods only because I am able to bring my own jars for bulk groceries to support my sustainable living. Last experience was a senior male cold cashier on a bad mood. I said hello, no response. He charged the whole jars of bulk groceries without taking the part of my own jars off. I said thank you, again, no response but talking annoyingly to another guy. I realized the over charges just when I got home. So I had to drive back to there again.

My last visit was a good experience. Although, there was what appears to be a long line outside due to social distancing, it moved quite quickly. Went in and out without any major delays or issues. Shelves were organized and stocked well. Parking was a breeze, but was more difficult during the old normal. Highly recommend this store.

I am finding it to be disheartening shopping at Whole foods. The insta cart shoppers and the web shoppers are very rude and the shelves are cleared out because of these shoppers. Im a prime member and I cant even take advantage of the deals because the items are all GONE.
