Whole Foods Market

This Whole Foods sits in a plaza with big stores like TJ Maxx and the parking is actually great, which is rare when multiple stores share a lot. The carts are right by the entrance so it is easy to grab one. When you walk in there is a florist section which is perfect if you want to pick up something special for a partner or just brighten your own day or your apartment. Then the produce hits you right away and I love how color coded and organized it is. Everything green together, everything yellow together, clearly labeled organic or not. It looks good and it makes shopping easier. They also have the section where you scoop your own dry goods like brown rice and pay for the exact amount you need. As a chef I think that is genius because sometimes I only need one or two cups and I do not have to buy a whole five dollar bag. The store layout makes sense and the workers know the store well. You can ask where something is and they tell you the exact aisle and exact shelf. I am here often for clients so I can get in and out quickly. They have a butcher section, fresh seafood, a hot bar, and even the pizza slice I tried was good. The best part of my experience was the cashier. I did not get her name but she deserves recognition. She noticed the scanner cord was on the scale and told me I was being charged extra because it added weight. She helped me rescan every weighed item so my total went down. That level of honesty and care is rare. All heroes do not wear capes. I really like this Whole Foods.

Utterly disgusting food on the hot bar everyday. Way too much Chimchurri on the chicken. Where are y’all getting these recipes for chicken in tomato sauce with LEMON? Are you guys experimenting in the kitchen??Who asked for jalapeños in mac & cheese, who are y’all catering to, and are y’all desperately trying to send people to the bathroom?

While I sympathize with the unhoused, i don’t think allowing them to dwell and spread their belongings through the seating areas plus take showers in the food court area of this Whole Foods gives a good experience to shoppers. Not to be insensitive; but the odor here is unbearable. I wanted to eat but decided to go as I lost my appetite. I hope they find a solution that satisfies everyone.

I just left the Ponce location and had to get to my car quickly so I could write this review! I hope I get her name right—Tisha, who was working in the Family Meal area. …

I love the location of this store. However, most of the staff are very unfriendly and unhelpful when asked for assistance. The hot bar section is always filled with old, dry food. Their rotisserie chicken is always old and dry, and their quality has declined. I wish their workforce were more diverse to represent the community they serve.
