Whole Foods Market

As much as I like this store when I am shopping in person, I would not recommend delivery. I am doing it (and paying the 10$ fee + 10$ tips) because I am pregnant and can't lift bags anymore but from my experience, they select the worse products that people shopping in person will never buy (carrots that are already a bit brown/black on top, blueberries that are shrivelled, cans that are bumped -- that I end up throwing because I am afraid of botulism) so it is always a bad experience.

Overall nice store however when I tried to get two pizzas I was quoted by a worker behind the bakery a thirty minute wait time for them. Ofc I don’t wait in the store, I left and came back Under the allotted time. That worker left the pizza and another worker gave away one of my pizzas! And the pizza was inedible by the time I got it.

Visited this location a couple weeks back and I saw the most disgusting thing. I needed to grab a few items first thing in morning and as I’m nearing the meat counter I see a mouse running around all over the meats. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I notified the guy in the seafood section and when I told him I got the sense that this wasn’t the first time this type of situation occurred there. I will certainly not return to this location and let others know. Makes me wonder how often this happens.

Small but clean and organized. Staff helpful. Self-check-out strategically placed. Not crowded at the time I went. Found everything I needed. Except a brand of hummus I think they no longer sell. Pleasant experience.

It's very conveniently located. It's a smaller location, so not all the brands are in stock, but it still has a great selection and a fantastic deli counter and hot bar.

The best cake I’ve ever had. I’m an avid baker and have tried most bakeries in Cambridge, MA and couldn’t find one that had the rich buttercream frosting and fluffy vanilla cake that I found at the Whole Foods bakery at this location. Shawn (bakery manager) was so helpful and let me try a cupcake with my desired customizations before I ordered the whole cake. He offered such great customer service and made sure my cake was everything I wanted and more. Such an incredible quality bakery for a very affordable price. Thanks again!

I have been a Whole Foods loyalist for years. Moved to the area for a few weeks each month for grad school and this is my local store. Such a disappointment. It never occurred to me to check expiration dates when shopping but at this place YOU MUST. I spent around $600 on my first trip buying pantry staples and fresh produce for the week. Many (10+) items were expired within a 2-3 days of my buying them despite being priced as normal (not marked down) and apparently “fresh” looking in the store. I had organic honeycrisp apples with deep cuts covered by produce stickers that were brown inside on day two after purchase, organic berries with mold hiding deep in the carton, an $18 small batch regionally produced blue cheese dressing with two days until expiration, stale cashews that were within a month of their “best by” date, dried mango slices that were hard to the point of being impenetrable by human dentition, several cans of bay harbor clams and lobster bisque with small dents, and more of the like. I have never thrown away so much food. Not worth my time to deal with the drama or embarrassment of making a grocery store return - heed this warning though: buyer beware if you shop here check the dates and condition of your food carefully lest you waste $250 a week on trash too.

Nice little market. Prices are absurd. $27 for a 32oz. Bag of chia seeds is criminal! I bought the SAME bag elsewhere for $10. Same with other items - prices are very high. You can get the same exact product elsewhere for much less. Maybe it's to be expected (?) though. Their customers are the typical entitled, gentrifier crowd.. walking thru the store with NO courtesy, like they own the world. I've seen them disrespectful toward staff many times. No wonder some staff seem frustrated. But I will say a handful of the staff are nice. Decent salad/hot bar.. it could be better. Prices on small plants are reasonable.

Clean market with many fresh options. To be expected pricey compared to regular markets. Great location. Friendly staff. You get reimbursed for bringing your own bags. Make sure you pull up your Amazon prime app and get discounts.

Nice friendly neighborhood Whole Foods Market. Vegetable section looks nice and pretty well organized. Daily bakery wasn’t but I visited the store at the end of the day so that could be why I can’t find anything from daily products. Mostly everything looks clean. They were in cleaning process before closing so I hope they will clean this.

I used this Whole Foods store to provide flowers for my daughter's wedding. We all were absolutely thrilled with the result. They provided table centerpieces, the bride's bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages, flower girls baskets, and table greenery. It was awesome! The staff provided an order form and we provided an "inspirational" example picture of what we had in mind for the flowers. They, Charlie and others, did all the rest. You could tell they had put their personal best in creating the arrangements. It simply could not have been done better at any cost. And the cost was very reasonable. The bride was extremely happy and grateful for the wonderful addition to her wedding.

This is my first time in a whole foods in over 2 years. It’s not as good as I remember. Popular prepared items like burritos are sold-out. I asked the worker and she said they always sell out fast… why not make more burritos? Wegmans is superior.

It's an old, smaller Whole Foods Market, so it doesn't have the usual amenities, but it has a good selection of natural groceries. It's entirely adequate. There's no pressing reason to make the trip to the larger store on Memorial Drive.

Whole foods Market is a great place to shop healthy, natural and organic. However Whole foods Market Symphony has some issues today with their strawberries.

Great cheese and coffee sections! Super helpful staff will always take the time to help you find what you need. Their cut flower bouquetss are also beautiful and last a long time.

Pretty small older whole foods. Customer service is meh, hard to navigate, and the ramen I had for lunch from their pop up venue was not very good.

If having other people of color racially profile you, getting followed around a store, and staff who are more interested in covering-up wrong doing instead of fix it is your bag to just buy groceries, sure go here. Otherwise save your money. I filed 2 complaints against this location with the corporate office. Yes, it is that bad.If you are marking an Amazon return, sure go here. If you need to buy food, don't. I had to return items that were spoiled, rancid, opened, oddly resealed and stale and they kept coding them as, "I didn't like it." Then tried to blame me and said it was not possible for there to be any issues in the store them blamed me and acted like I was doing something wrong, and told me I was, "Abusing the Return Policy." This is after of course I reported the issues to a person who identified themselves as a Manager chubby guy named Felix, who told me that it was "Impossible," when I said there was an issue happening in store and when I countered stating I should not have to return items so frequently, he literally told me, "Maybe our products are not for you and you should shop somewhere else." So the issue is the items are too organic and healthy for my low brow taste- when I have eaten the items before and I know what they SHOULD taste like? Not that I reported problems your staff refused to code it correctly to cover up the issues, and your staff then lied saying I must be doing something shady? Then telling me I was banned from returning items when they literally cannot do that as they are not a local franchise business? When they as a staff are not reporting the issue, but somehow I am the problem? Then lied and said there was no one up the chain for me to report the issues to, refused to give me an email or phone number? Nope. Gross. Be better than that.

There's no reason for a whole foods this small to have a parking lot. If you have a car DO NOT DRIVE TOO THIS WHOLE FOODS. they will not have what you need because it is small. Just drive to market basket instead. There's no reason to come to this specific location unless it's your local location and you have no choice. Other than that, there's a worker here who seems to try out his stand up routine on any poor unfortunate customer who has the misfortune of being rung up on his register. If you don't give him a hearty enough laugh his feelings will be hurt. Keep that in mind and laugh well if you make the trip to this specific whole foods

Despite its location this store rocks! Produce super fresh with a huge variety. Always food to test throughout the store. The bakery is out of this world. The staff is educated and willing to help. Lots of parking.

Needed a refund on a $3 carton of Soy Milk which went bad after 3 days. They wanted a receipt, "store policy." Unlike Trader Joe's and Shaw's, which will do it for you in an instant, they just trust you. Whereas Whole Foods wasted my time and that of the sales person and the snarky store manager, who said that he considered this a good use of his time. I can see the US losing ground to China because of policies and people like this. I'm a 20+ year Cambridge resident.

It's not one of the best Whole Foods, but the location is great. It is a bit small and doesn't sell alcohol. The one on River street is a lot better.

The prices of certain items were high like fruits and vegetables .But most of the other items like milk,bread, and meat items are kind of cheap and fresh here. The place had so many baked items like muffins, cup cakes,etc

Whole Foods is a little outside of my price range, but I went, and found a few things that cost less than Star Market, and found a couple items I couldn't find elsewhere.Clean, well kept store (no surprise), and courteous helpful staff who helped me locate items.Even the fellow shoppers were polite.Mask protocol was as close to 100% as I've seen anywhere else in town.So, overall good experience.

Parking can be crowded but surprisingly never had an issue. It’s a small store but the staff is generally friendly and no lines except for rush hour. I’ve had great friendly interactions with the cheese department. Wouldn’t go out of my way here though.

Overpriced and low quality produce! We got strawberries, cherry tomatoes, and arugula - all had moldy members! So lame!
