Great options for quick, easy bites. Sushi was fresh, and sandwiches lasted all day. Even better if you have the prime credit card with five percent back. Will visit again for groceries and food

AS USUAL. The best food quality. Items nowhere else. Cajón pan fried Swordfish w/ Cambazola Cheese and fresh scallion, over my own egg fettuccine w/ fresh cream and cracked black pepper, from scratch Caeser salad w/ roasted red pepper, etc……..NY STRIP, rubbed in rosemary, thyme, sage, and garlic. Pan fried Pittsburgh w/ Cambazola Cheese and flash sautéed Oyster Mushrooms, w/ roasted red kuri squash, Maine potato, and local golden beets. Whole Foods makes it happen EVERY time! Eleven Stars:)

Beautiful grocery store, but very pricy. High quality goods but not for the everyday budget. I certainly wouldn't get all of my goods here, but I love stopping by the bakery as a treat. Pretty good cold brew at the coffee shop too!

So very department oriented.. ie I asked the person directly across from the cookies per pound if they had any more of a certain kind and she replied with I dunno you'll have to ask the bakery people.. that was unbelievable.. most customer service your taught the phrase I didn't know but let me find out.. later a lady came over and got someone for me and apologized.. Only 3 of 8 pages open took twenty minutes to get thru checkout..Pizza guy was great and helpful

As a long-time Whole Foods enthusiast, I recently found myself on a cross-country journey with my aunt, who is on the autism spectrum, and her service dog, a senior chihuahua named Doodles. Our aim was to stock up on snacks for our 15-hour drive from Maine to Ohio, which would take us through bustling cities like Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia.A stop at Whole Foods seemed like the perfect break - a chance for my aunt to exercise her independence and navigate a familiar store, with Doodles nestled comfortably in the shopping cart, providing emotional support from her cozy doggie bed. This has always been our routine, one that has never been questioned, until our latest visit to Whole Foods.Our trip was disrupted when we were informed that Doodles had to be on the ground, not in the cart. Given Doodles' age and arthritis, particularly in her front left paw, and the role she plays as my aunt's service animal, this was not an option for us. I explained the situation to the staff, assuring them that we would swiftly complete our shopping and leave before any enforcement could arrive. Though stated half in jest, I was serious in my commitment to maintaining my aunt's comfort during our long journey.Once my aunt and Doodles were safely in our car, I asked to speak with a manager. I sought clarity on the store's Standard Operating Procedures regarding service animals and whether signage was posted informing patrons of these rules. Unfortunately, the manager could not provide an immediate answer.Upon my own exploration, I discovered a small, inconspicuous sign at the edge of the entrance outlining the ADA policy. Its placement, however, made it nearly impossible to notice while simultaneously caring for my aunt. Bringing this to the attention of the manager, I suggested the sign be moved to a more visible location.We hope that this experience serves as an opportunity for Whole Foods to improve their communication regarding their policies, ensuring they can be clearly understood by all patrons, including those accompanied by service animals or individuals with special needs. We look forward to seeing these changes in place during our next visit.

Garrett in customer service is the absolute best! Always gives service with a smile and is super super friendly, helpful, and informative. You guys should hire more people like him! I had a great experience with returning some things and he was honestly just the best! If you guys do voting or employee of the month bonus, or promotion, my vote goes to him!! Thanks for always providing a pleasant shopping experience, WholeFoods! <3

Used to be great, but Amazon ruined it. Produce has been pared down. Very little local or fresh items. Aisles full of things available in any grocery store. I used to shop at WF for unusual items and there is no local personality anymore.

This is the first whole foods I have ever been to, and the burritos are better than chipotle!! I exclusively go here to pick up burritos and my amazon packages but I love coming here. There is a very welcoming atmosphere and the baristas at the coffee area are very friendly. Overall I love this place but I won't buy groceries at a whole foods until I make a good enough amount of money to afford it. Hannaford is where I'll get my groceries instead, but Whole foods is my burrito go to!!

Flew in and stopped here for a sick friend an hour away. Produce guy was very helpful in finding a specific type of sweet potato she can eat. The butcher also went above and beyond and individually wrapped the salmon we bought her.

Driving around here is pretty hairy, but the store is great. Be careful when entering the parking lot.Suggestion for store: have a line for lunch-goers, I stopped to get some quick lunch and I would have been in line for 20 minutes

Better layout than the Austin, TX flagship store in my opinion. The only thing it’s lacking is an Asian soup deli (soba noodle dishes and sushi stand) but otherwise a gem and easy to get to off of the 295 highway.

Great food, easy to find what we needed. It was extremely neat and clean, and the employees were helpful, polite, and professional.

I shop mostly at Whole Foods In Connecticut where I live, I stop in at this store occasionally on my way to Rockland where I'm from. Usually things are good and the store has a good selection, but this trip I picked up both an Urban Remedy drink and salad. I've had them before and they were great. This time they were rotten, both of them. I bought them on 6/12/23...the salad exp date was 6/15 and the drink 6/16. I opened the soba noodle salad last night 6/11 and it was bad. Tossed it but then today I went to open the drink and it's actually fermented! Two items that totaled $22.98 plus tax both rotten. I could eat at a restaurant for that price. These are items you splurge on because they are organic and healthy. Really disappointed to have them be rotten. I called and they offered to reimburse but I have to come into the store again to do that and it's really more about the experience. There is no store local to Rockland and they don't sell Urban Remedy at my store in CT. So I'd have to drive to Portland. Either Urban Remedy needs to cut their expire dates to a shorter time or someone needs to check the cooler and see why they aren't lasting as long as they should, either way I wouldn't recommend buying these products from the store.

Of course the items that they have to sell there are great quality it's just not a great shopping experience. They don't keep stock on the shelves very well that's not very clean or neat.

Very nice store with excellent produce.We were on vacation and tired of eating out every meal. We were able to select healthy choices. We had picnics in the room. We also made lunch on days while driving 🚗 and seeing the leaves 🍃 changing to fall colors. They had an olive bar, and we were able to enjoy a variety of things. ......

Everything that made this store unique and wonderful is gone - the vast produce selection, the healthy bulk food section, the sweet smelling but well-priced soaps, the wide variety of ready-made and bakery items. It's a pared-down version of its former self, still a nice grocery store, but just another grocery store. There's nothing particularly unusual about it. To me, not worth making a special trip for.

Stopped in for breakfast and all they had were a couple breakfast burritos and sandwiches all which had cheese inside. Sucks, because I was really hoping to grab something without dairy. The staff was also dry and not friendly like other Whole Foods locations

Wide selection in most food categories. I loved the selection of spices, teas and natural supplements. Overall experience is nice. A downside was the eating area. In other locations, you have a big eating area away from the rest of the store so you can relax. In this location, there are a small number of tables right next to the cash registers. Not fun to eat at.

Please keep the pizza going a little later! I picked up a slice at 7:30pm… it was room temp and soggy!!! I really wish I could get my wf pizza on after work.Edit: love Whole Foods for keeping an eye on the reviews. Can you also make your (great) coffee a little stronger? I will then be there at least twice a day, five days a week, for sure! WF is the most reasonably priced good coffee in town.

This is a lovely store, with a terrific selection and helpful workers. I only stopped in to get a birthday cake (eventually chose a cheesecake, which was excellent), but was able to get a good look at the extensive selection of hot/ready-to-eat foods. Produce also looks good, and there are flowers available, too Prices are high, because it's Whole Foods, but the products look great.Just off Forest Ave and not too far from Trader Joe's. Had no problem with parking but spaces looked kind of limited.

Too expensive. Except for Whole Foods brand you can find any other brand or organic products even in Walmart for the half of the price. Sometimes they have first produce but it’s like buying a diamond in Bulgari store. And workers are paid pennies.

I've been disappointed with Wholefoods ever since Amazon took over. Quality of meet has declined. Too many house brands. Got rid of old favorites that where kind of unique to WF and replaced with brands I can find at any other supermarket. This visit their shelves were barren. Supplier change over issues supposedly. And always too many "store shoppers". I avoid Wholefoods unless it is absolutely necessary. And it is becoming less necessary with every change.7/16/22 Can't say it's improved. 3/14/23 Fewer store shoppers so that is an improvement. Still can't say I love it though. 12/19/23 Empty shelves. Would love a viable alternative.

Nothing against the employees, I find my fellow shoppers intolerable kind of ruining the experience.

Very good variety of healthy foods and products. A little bit pricey but probably worth it 😀

I really want to like this chain. Great selection of wholesome foods. Awesome Cheesemonger. But definitely feeling the "Whole Paycheck" vibe. Great place for lunch if it's not too busy.

My first time ever shopping at a Whole Foods. It was hard to look past the prices. A specific salt I wanted was $17.99 here but $5.79 at Shaws.

We really love some of the items we can get here, we do wish they had one further down south of Maine. But nonetheless great spot to get the healthy food items needed.

Great service and experience always. Love the bakery especially. My only small wish for the Portland location is that the prepared food quality is not always consistent.
