This jam-packed, well-organized store is a treasure trove of organic produce, meat and dairy, vegetarian, vegan and raw foods, and environmentally friendly cleaning and paper products. The market also caters to people on the go with an organic coffee bar just inside the door, and a wide selection of packaged sandwiches, soups and salads. The staff is well-informed, especially about the selection of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal remedies.

Westerly is packed to the brim with high quality health foods and supplements. For a store their size, they have a fantastic selection of supplements. The organic vegetables are always fresh looking - colorful and never limp. They have a counter in the back, kind of a vegan deli. But what I like most about Westerly is their selection of hot soups. On a cold winter day, a serving of their eggplant zucchini soup hits the spot! Every soup I have had is hearty and delicious. Their prices aren't cheap, but may be a little better than you might expect.

does this review really need an explanation? no, but i'd like to add that i used to love this place, but will never go back. the cashiers are so rude, they screw up delivery orders, and the manager is an idiot. i really love the food here, but hate having to deal with these unprofessional people. i tried to explain to the manager that there was a pubic hair in my food. he implied that it was mine and then became progressively more and more incompetent as i stayed on the phone with him longer. i called 311 to file a complaint about hygiene, but the office i needed was closed so i left a message. trying to talk to anyone in this place is a waste of time. there's a guy named chris who has always been friendly (the vitamin guy), and the food is good (minus the pubes of course), but i'm seriously doubting ever walking in that place again. it too bad cause they're right near my apt. oh well, back to corporate whole foods market.

In a reply to JustSharingMyThoughts, I too worked at Westerly startig in 1987 in the Health Food Dept. I remember Herman ver well, very knowledgeable, & the lines to speak to him wound past mty cash register. I loved working for Elliot Toback, all the staff in health food liked him. He kept the shelves stocked with all the latest products & was also very knowledgeable. Later I moved to the office to do billing & whatever else was required. My time at Westerly was "memorable" to say the least . I live in the Bronx now & haen't been back, but I hear the store has really grown under Michael Toback.
