Shoutout to that one girl who just got back from her break who hooked me up with the prime savings. I guess she noticed that my phone wouldn't generate a in store code due to bad reception or my phone just sucks ass.. lol I didn't realize it til I saw the receipt I also didn't catch her name but thank you! Appreciate you!
This is a review of their sandwich counter. They offer 9 different sandwiches ranging from $8.99 - $12.99 or you can build your own. Base starts at $9.99 and it includes 1 protein. There is a blank order sheet on the counter where you can tick off your choices and when you're done, you put it in the "completed" pile. Service is slow here. Came in on a Saturday around 2:30pm. 2 ladies working behind the counter, both completely ignoring the completed pile and skipping my order until I pointed it out to one of them. I waited way too long to receive a sandwich. Well at least my sandwich was packed with fillings and it tasted good too.
This review is for the bakery. The bakery staff is incredibly nice and helpful. They have the mango yuzu cake (which I think may be seasonal) which is the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors in a dessert.
To me this is the best Whole Foods in the city. This Whole Foods may not be the biggest but they have lots of products that other Whole Foods locations don't carry. Everyone who works here seems very helpful and nice. I was craving salad so I headed over to there salad bar. All of the salad dressing containers were full. The lettuce was fresh and so were the self serve toppings. For desert I grabbed a lemon cheese cake cookie. Yum! Try one if you can. They are located right next to the snack bar at the small cookie station. They also have a bar/restaurant downstairs so definitely check it out if you have a chance.
Sweet and very helpful encounter with Paige. I was worry to order over phone but didn't have time to go in person. Paige assured me and got the task done. Stressful to order during thanksgiving weekend. Paige was patience and gives great suggestion. I ordered the famous berry chantilly cake 1/2 sheet. Cake was moist and not too sweet with good amount of fruits. Easy pick up with plenty street parking and garage lot. Thank you Paige again.
