14th Street

I visited the United States for the first time and chose to check out Whole Foods. I can certainly understand the excitement surrounding it! The selection of items was impressive. I spent quite a bit of time in the produce section because all the fresh fruits and vegetables looked incredible—so much fresher and more appealing than what I'm accustomed to in UK supermarkets!

I bought some fresh fruit and snacks from this market, and I was really impressed. They have a great selection of options and lots of well-prepared food. The fresh fruit was particularly nice with a variety to choose from. The checkout process was smooth and efficient, too.

I walked in thinking I would just grab a quick bite at the hot bar and leave. However, it didn’t turn out that way at all. I was amazed! The hot bar had so many options that I ended up staying for over an hour. Then I checked out the salad bar and desserts, and I highly recommend this place to everyone. It’s fantastic! I had to remind myself to leave!

It's a pleasant bar. Bright and clean. Many different kinds of chairs, tables, and rooftop areas you can enjoy your drink. You can also order sides or food from the Whole Foods (because this bar is inside of it , so that makes it very convenient. I suggest you try it out once. (And it opens from 7am till 10pm! Except for certain hours you can't get alcohol.

I was very impressed with this new Whole Foods. It is walking distance from our condo, which is great! There is the large grocery store, but also deli, florist, coffee place, detox bar, wine bar, and rooftop grill chill games. We went everywhere. The rooftop was unoccupied, probably because of the recent rain but as it was 69 degrees it was very pleasant and quite a view! I would’ve loved to have gotten a smoothie or some cooked-to-order ramen, but we had just eaten at a restaurant around the corner. The prepared foods area is huge; several tables of food to choose from if you have no time to cook. I saw a large area labeled “Fried Chicken” toward an end of the Comfort Food table. It was so busy I couldn’t get near it. There was a very large green salad bar, and a large table of soup kettles. I think there were one or two other tables as well. Beyond the ramen, sushi, etc there were pre-made sandwiches in the display case and pre-made sides in bulk as well. A LOT of food to take home and warm up! The dairy, meat, produce, and seafood areas are huge. I wish I were going to be around for a couple of weeks so I could go wild with the seafood. We were stunned at the amount of chicken available as well. There is a Veggie Butcher at the end of the produce area too if you don’t have time to prep your veggies. The floral area was large, with an obvious bias toward orchids. There were separate areas of alcohol; the beer and hard seltzers were in the deli area, the wine was near the seafood and produce. Employees in the deli, produce, and checkout areas were very nice and helpful, and the store was very clean. We found everything we were looking for.
