In Short
Whole Foods is a vegetarian's dream grocery store, with a focus on natural and organic goods and a gargantuan selection of fruits, vegetables and vegan products. But carnivores won't feel neglected, as stores also boast a vast selection of top-quality meats, poultry and fish. Also expect fresh-baked goods, housewares, a floral department and a well-stocked vitamin and personal-product section. Deli offers hot and cold prepared foods and artisanal cheeses.

Buyer Beware

by atlja43

Although whole foods does some very nice items, they also have old vegetables and short dated products. You have to be very careful shopping there as several times I have found out the items I bought were already stale or old.

Fine Dining Prices At A Grocery Store? It's Good, But................!

Whole Foods on Ponce is a stunner! Walk in, and all the excitement, just overtakes you, and one does not know where to begin. Beautiful organic fruits and veggies. Top quality seafood and meat, all beautifully displayed. And then there are the prepared foods. Mind you, I don't mind cooking, but in here, you just want it now, and cooked. Decided to take items home for dinner. Two nice grilled pork chops, 1/2 lb. Green Beans, and 1/2 lb. Baked Mac and Cheese. All that cost me a whopping $30.00 plus, and I had to use my own untensils, clean up my own mess, and serve myself. I don't know about everyone else, but that is just crazy. I can go to a sit-down restaurant, be waited on, tip, and spend about the same amount. Beautiful organic foods, minus ultra high prices for hot prepared items, just equal AVERAGE. Remember what happened to EatZi's, and now little Fresh Market is on the scene, with much lower prices, without all the hype. Time will tell!

• Pros: Beautiful Fresh Organic Produce & Meats/Seafood!
• Cons: Ultra High Prices For Takeaway Prepared Foods!
