So fresh and so clean. Friendly shoppers and polite environment. Strangers talk. Staff is happy. Amazon shoppers and discount for prime members. Pure modern heaven on earth. My new favorite super market.

Nothing like drinking local beers and watching Bob Ross after cruising through some museums. Were not local and stopped in to grab some water. Figured we would also grab a beer to go. Discovered PA has very interesting liquor laws. Beer and wine available for purchase separately on the other side of the store. Ended up opting for just drinking something on tap at the bar. Will say purchase method is a little strange. Still have to get up from the bar and walk over to the register to pay, no open tabs or anything. Wish the gal had a tip jar or something. Register doesnt let you tip. Overall nice stop and beautiful Whole Foods. The cheese section looked AMAZING!

This is a rather nice location. The hot bar could use improvements as it seems to cater mostly to the Vegetarian population, but hey, Im just a visitor and maybe thats the demographics for this store. Otherwise, besides the staff not being available to assist anyone, its a good location.

Very good items fresh and organic. Limited variety during the weekend.Car charging spots always occupied by the same cars some days for over 5 hours.The fruit are in correct condition but organic.

Idk where to start but this WFM is complete trash. I’ve been here since 8:30am & nothing is filled with food.. I asked a food worker if they were putting out any breakfast food.. he says “no we don’t put food out until 11am.. I don’t want any breakfast food”How wack of a response rather than focusing on explaining why they stopped putting out breakfast food.. if you can have all the high carb unhealthy food out from 11am to sundown then you can put out simple breakfast food.. if you’ve been a avid wfm shopper early in the morning here then you know all the breakfast food they used to put out..This has nothing to do with a pandemic because they still let ppl touch all over the food utensils & flies fly around all the dried out food.. sick of this wfm.. horrible leadership at this cc location.I will be cracking down very soon with whoever is running these departments because I am sick of it..This store acts like a monopoly, they don’t advocate for all the other stuff they say they stand for..Stop putting out unhealthy,high carb heart clogging food all damn day..!!Go to MOM’s Organic Market 34 S 11th St if you have any reverence for your body & what goes in it because this store is part of the reason Americans is sick now!& don’t worry I will be putting faces & names with every department so WFM don’t respond like you care now.

There are a few good things at this store, organic produce, some resonably priced. However, it lost its market feel with the advent of Amazon. Poor selection of vegan prepared foods compared to the suburbs. And the shelves are quite bare for a lot of goods.

This is the best whole foods in Philadelphia. Amazing garage parking and easy to navigate. The staff is friendly and helpful always eager to assist. Amazon pickup and return is on the lower level, easy to find. The hours are long enough to do late night shopping.

This Whole Foods is great to have in the city. It’s located near the art museum and has two entrances/exits to their parking lot. It can get busy around dinner time, but there’s lots of foods and desserts to choose from. They also have small restaurants located near the check out and a place to get beer and sit to eat.Don’t want to ship your amazon packages to your house over a long weekend? (Or whatever other reason) Opt to send them to this Whole Foods and then pick them up on your trip. Very convenient and pleasant shopping experience.

Love the selection, but the layout is confusing. Theres no clear division between the different meats, so i almost missed the pork as its mixed in with the beef. Also the cashier rang my figs up as cherries. Otherwise the staff is helpful and will show you where things are, and having my Amazon packages delivered here is a great peace of mind

Prices arent as bad as you think for what youre getting. Fresh and organic, with great variety. More international options than say aldi or target.

Good organic shopping with huge selection on goods. Prices slightly high but that’s the price of organic shopping. Their service is excellent. Definitely recommend

This is for the Amazon portion which has now moved to the first floor instead of where it used to be near the cards/registers. I went Sunday evening and had the pleasure of the meeting the lady with braids. Unfortunately, I did not get her name but she was awesome. Super nice and friendly. Someone needs to give her a fan and a raise.

Review №24

This flagship location needs better management to deal with the effects of staff shortages, no carts or baskets found anywhere on second floor, broken/stuck cart elevator on way down, and a 25 min long wait to pay for groceries. I miss what this location used to be and it’s sad how month by month it’s been consistently going in the wrong direction.

Review №26

Amazon transforms this store to a warehouse more and more, unfortunately...The most annoying part is the always OUT OF SERVICE cart escalator. The only one way to get back to the underground parking is using elevator. Takes time when crowded...Like cmon! Amazon can afford Cart Escalator for its customers, right?!

Always loved Whole Foods... still shop there but the experience went from a neighborhood store with a Coffee shop on the street and places to sit and eat both in and outside... but now, sadly, it’s a glorified warehouse... more emphasis on stuffing carts that on a pleasant shopping experience... Mom’s market downtown is a bit of a walk but on nice day it’s where I go.

Review №32

I love this store. I have been going here for many years. But with all the Amazon shoppers, brings this store down to a 2 stared store. This Whole Foods does not value its customer the way we should be. The Amazon shoppers obviously are more valued because they come first for everything now. Every single time I come here there are no big carts for the original customers to use. They are all occupied by the Amazon shoppers which is unbelievable. When I asked a WF Worker for one he was quite dismissive and seemed like he did not want to help me out. The Amazon shoppers are in the way and they rude. It isn’t a pleasant place to shop anymore. Do better Whole Foods!

Review №36

Very good but limited selection of products. Love that they sell wines, and they have federal donuts store during mornings. The Store set up is a little bit odd, such as the fish area is close to milk and veggies??, then long walk to prep food and bakery. Also, not all health items are close to each other. elevator doesnt go to parking level so if you have a full shopping cart you have to to the street level and go down the stairs and walk to your car, or go through the electric stairs downstairs and walk to your car with all the bags, no practical for elderly customers either.

So while trying to grab a quick dinner today @whole foods in Center City Phila. I was startled to see woman walking around in the buffet area with a dog hovering over the food, while she sampled every section. When I inquired I was dismissed as if it was perfectly fine. @wholefoods do a better job monitoring & ensuring open food areas are not exposed to random pets indiscriminately. @wholefoods train your staff properly, customers deserve better!

Review №38

The free parking garage is an added bonus! The store is extremely clean and staff are more than happy to help you find an item. Everything is always being restocked and if it’s out of stock on the floor, they will grab it for you from the back. This location also sells beer/wine and the massive hot/cold bar is a great healthy option for lunch or dinner.

Whole Foods used to be my favorite grocery store experience, but I am not really a fan anymore. It is clear that under Amazon’s ownership the environmental values that the store once embodied have gone out the window. Now it’s just all about Prime Now the delivery service (which I have boycotted) where they bring out the non-recyclable/not-optional thick plastic packaging. So wasteful. Yuck.

Went to the fish section and when I asked for a quarter pound of fish, the employee picked it out but then dropped the fish on the floor.He did not serve me the fish that he dropped on the floor but I did notice that he placed the fish back to its section in the window, which is pretty disgusting. Whoever ordered fish after me, I wish you well and hope you don’t get sick.

Omg his place was HEAVEN!!!! Hand made home made pastas and olives that were so fresh they tasted nutty and buttery not like vinegar. Soaps, clothings, food, household items this store had EVERYTHING!!! I appreciated the fact that they clearly mark if something is vegan which made it easy to shop for my daughter during our visit for her graduation. Huge store!!!

This place is great if you dont mind LITERAL shoeless hippies shopping somewhere in the middle of a pandemic. I generally dont like Whole Foods, but this store is somehow the worst assemblage of fellow shoppers that Ive ever seen. Its almost worse than the Jersey Shore over the Fourth of July weekend.

Review №61

WFM used to have breakfast items in the cold prepared food section, unfortunately they do not anymore. You are FORCED into a limited selection at the hot foods bar for breakfast items. This is very unfortunate if you want to grab it and go for later in the morning. Also there are more foods in the cold prepared that are undesirable to the average American who doesnt like curry.

Well, I guess if you need variety when buying a box of keto brownies, then you will be happy. I, on the other hand, had trouble finding light rye and cake flour as well as Dutch processed chocolate (not altogether common, but not uncommon either) in order to make Anne Changs Ashleys birthday cake.

The museum area is kind of an affordable lunch desert but I discovered the wonderful luncheonettes at Whole Foods Market and keep coming back. The store itself is clean and well arranged, and the staff is friendly and helpful. When youre done shopping try the doughnut shop, they are addictive.

Review №76

I received exemplary customer service from Carter and Alisha today and greatly appreciate the time they took to help me out!I am a NJ resident. I purchased a $50 supplement at a local Whole Foods near me, the Millburn Union store. That staff and management at Whole Foods there wouldnt accept my return with a receipt and their reasoning was because of Covid. However if I had purchased the item from Amazon.com, I could easily have returned it at the Amazon return center located in their Millburn Union store, 20 feet away from their Customer Service desk. That store manager didnt seem to understand that her rationale for not accepting my return was illogical and the explanation she gave me for not accepting the return, considering I was being penalized for purchasing an item in her store versus on Amazon. com.Thankfully, Carter and Alisha understood the rationale behind my concern and were able to assist me with returning the supplement and did not require me to drive 2 hours to Philly in one direction to resolve it.THANK YOU Carter and Alisha for helping me out, for caring about your customers and for having minds that understand logic- because of you both I am willing to go back to a Whole Foods again, just not the Millburn Union location!

Perpetually out of stock of basic items, crowded, and repurposed as an Amazon Prime warehouse, this store has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. Some changes made for the pandemic, unfortunately, seem permanent, like the installation of industrial elevators for the army of gig workers who are forced to shop and navigate the same tight corridors with everyone else.

I’m so happy this is my local Whole Foods! The location is premiere with close access to the city without it being in the busiest districts. It’s highly walkable with a huge garage if you decide to drive. The staff is friendly and consistent! I love the food court area (obviously during non-Covid times!) and even love the coffee they serve here as it’s fresh and never sitting out too long!

Whole Foods is overpriced and the inside can be confusing and difficult to make your way through, but their quality of goods and diversity of products makes it a required stop for some of your more unique items.
