User Reviews for Whole Foods Market

I love it because I can go at any time of the day and pick up a salad or sandwich or any variety of other prepared foods as well as usual grocery items which are comparable or lower to other manhattan grocers. I can also pick up fresh baked breads, bakery items, fresh meats and seafoods and a wonderful selection of produce which are items that I ultimately avoid at regular grocers because of lack of selection and poor quality. I hate Whole Foods because when I get prepared foods, bakery items or even a box of granola bars, everything I got faintly tasted like egg rolls. I'll continue to shop there for my other items and sadly, wait in line like the rest of you who will go along with me and stand in line for 15 years but I must know: Why does it taste like egg rolls?
Pros: Cornucopia of choices, Decent Prices
Cons: Super Long Lines, Egg Roll Food Taste, Bad Layout/Crowded

Being from Los Angeles, Whole Foods has always been a favorite groccery store of mine. I was pleased to find one here and happily splurged on old favorites of mine. I also love to eat lunch there, their vegetable somsa at the Indian bar is DELICIOUS, especially with their yogurt sauce. THeir chicken rice soup is pretty good, too. Overal, I recommend this place for the best organic foods. BTW it is not cheap!
Pros: fast lines, great selection, organic
Cons: hard to find-, spot to eat-, at lunchtime!

After taking the escalator down to the Whole Foods Market, a neverending variety of hot, cold, and prepared foods await. The best are the Mexican entrees like the ropa vieja and plantains, and Indian food like the tandoori chicken and naan. The grilled vegetables are good too. The food is literally neverending, and you can try some of this and some of that, because they charge you by weight. They also have many desserts, but (alas!) no sodas or diet drinks (except for bottled water) in sight.

Though the produce may occasionally be a little pricey, packaged foods at Whole Foods are exceptionally inexpensive for Manhattan--most things are 25-50% cheaper than what I would pay at D'Agostino's, Whole Foods, or Gristedes, and the selection is better to boot. It's easy to miss the price discount since the decor would lead one to assume it's expensive, but it's actually one of the best grocery bargains in town.
Pros: Prices, Selection, Location
