Whole Foods Market in other cities:
Great floral selection, and the employee that wrapped the flowers for me was very nice...he did a great job, while training another employee!
Im sure the A team during th bday is ok but.B team at night is pretty bad. Shelves are empty, service is whatever. My bag broke on the way out and everything fell out the bottom. 3 employees were just staring at me while I cleaned it all up and didnt help. The choices have been the same for chefs kitchen and grab n go for years. No innovation or changes I think Amazon is missing opportunity.
I am reviewing the hot bar and salad area. Compared with the hot bar of other WF locations, this Evanston one has too many items sweetened with sugar. The selection is also very limited and it is not that fresh. Salad area doesnt have a lot of fresh items either. Please increase the selection, keep it fresh, and remember that sugar is not healthy while whole foods is supposed to stand for healthy
I walked the entire store and browsed for 10 minutes and Not One employee Ever greeted me. Not even eye contact. It didnt seem like a warm place to shop so I took my hard earned money elsewhere. 1 Star rating.
Eclectic, high end grocery store with quality products and helpful staff. Profile leans toward healthy, nutritious foods but WF carries some fabulous not-so-healthy bakery and other treats as well. Just remember that high end comment when you are being swept along by the beautifuldisplays of fish and seafood and ready-to-cook or ready-to-eat items; your debit card could be in for a surprise. There are worse ways to spend money, though, right?
Whole Foods was once the only grocery store I would shop at. It’s no longer the high quality market I once sought out. The shelves are empty and items I once found at every visit are no longer being stocked. The produce is mixed in with old food from last season. The peaches I just purchased were certainly not fresh and they’re supposed to be “in season.” I’m shopping elsewhere from now on. So disappointed!!
Above and beyond excellent customer service on a pickup order! Ive ordered groceries for pickup from another Whole foods before and have consistently had things left out of the order with no explanation. Today I arrived to pick up groceries from this location and the shopper explained that there may be some missing items, offered to go back in and look for the missing items, and then when he couldnt find them, canceled the order so we wouldnt be charged for any of the groceries we did receive. I was very impressed with his transparency and kindness.
I dont see why bananas have to go in a plastic bag. After the Amazon take over there is no regard for Sustainability.
The store is easy to navigate, however I just came from the west loop location and the salad bar is by far better and looks more appetizing.They need to amp the salad bar at the Evanston location! Please do and I give you 5 stars!Staff is overall friendly and helpful.Your lemon game is out of control tho, lemon prices are 40% more expensive than some other grocery stores!Guess that how Jeff gets to the moon!!! Lol
All Whole Foods stores are good, and this one is no exception, but it is somewhat weaker than others in the area in terms of stocking. Example: The last 3 times I’ve been there, twice mid afternoon on a Saturday and once on a Monday, they have been out of Organic Valley lactose free whole milk, and some other lactose free items. Also, they had no Country French bread. (!) Big deal in the grand scheme of things? Of course not. But they need to up their game a bit. I still give them 4 stars.
They have what my fiance likes, so their aright with me. Great customer service, the young lady was knowledgeable of the store. Thanks
I went in to purchase a tenderloin roast. Unfortunately they sold thr last one and some were on hold. I settled for a few Fillets. The meal was absolutely terrific.
I have shopped at this Whole Foods occasionally for years and never been disappointed, until now. I purchased a meal a few days ago- the curried chicken salad and 2 sides. The curried chicken salad was horrible- made with cumin (not curry) and raisins ( not the usual currants), and the chicken was old! In addition, the coleslaw was not edible (spoiled). Never again will I trust their prepared food.
I had really but experience in the sandwiches area. The person who take care to me. It took forever to make 3 sandwiches . Dont have nothing ready on the food line. im so disappointed. Please put people more capable 👎👎👎👎
Tim who works in the bakery is very rude. He looked me in the eye and angrily muttered at me for asking for a bakery item. Very concerning behavior for an employee. I will not shop here again!
This is my preferred WF in the area. Easier to park and access than the ones on Cicero or in downtown Evanston. Good size, service and selection.
I love the Whole Foods on Green Bay Road. They seem to be relatively responsible about safety, wiping down the carts and everything. It does say online that theyre open for dine-in, but I really hope thats just something that did not get updated properly. They also did not have social distancing floor markers for the checkout line, at least not that I noticed. Safety aside, there are a few products that I love to get from Whole Foods. The employees are always friendly and the quality of some of my favorite treats and of the produce is top-notch. I dont do much shopping at Whole Foods because most of the stuff is ridiculously expensive. It is a good place to get whole boxes of health bars with a good discount if you are an Amazon Prime member. Of course you can also get whole boxes of health bars online with free shipping a lot of the time if you are an Amazon Prime member, sometimes for cheaper, but then you still have to worry about package thieves if you live in an apartment.
Whole Foods is a good place, people are happy and healthy. It was raining yesterday during my shopping day . I didn’t know where to put my umbrella so I hung it on there sign.
As a new employee, and a senior at that, i was very very impressed on how everything came together for Amazon customers. The store itself was impeccably clean and organized. The employees both Whole Foods and Amazon, were courteous, professional and a bit comical. I only hope my back holds up, cause its killing me, lol.
Love this Whole Foods. Great selection of local beer is a serious plus. Only problem is the tall, older, not so gentleman working the register most days. Hes one of those dudes that acts like he hates his job, and has to be rude to people just to get through his day. Everyone else is good people.
Bad peaches...I was very excited to find tree matures peaches at Wholefoods that I did not mind paying the high price. I waited two days for them to mature and they never did. They still hard to touch but when I cut them they were ugly brown inside. I dont recommend this product code is 4044.
Quality foods will cost you $$$ but its worth it. The homemade food there is really good. I picked up some of the Curry Chicken salad, was thinking it better be good for .12.98 a pound. And you know what it was 😂. Some of the best ever. You get what u pay 4.
If I see one more high-end sports car parked in 2 spots, Im taking a dump on the hood. Other than the snooty pap smears that roam around the store flashing their fake body parts, this place is still mediocre.
I am a health conscious customer and work in health care. While this store is very close to my work and I could be there almost every day, I deliberately decided not to shop there because of how Ive been treated during the covid-19 time. I dont doubt that there is a lot of great employees working there, and the store is very well-stocked. The attack I got at the doorstep instead of being greeted and welcomed to the store is whats taken me aback. I was forced to wear a mask before I stepped over the doorstep without even being asked if I am able to wear a mask due to my health conditions. The regime agent, AKA, Wholefoods Greeter make sure that my mask was fully fastened around my nose. Seriously? How many more of my freedoms will you want to seize? I will make an effort not to support Whole Foods from this point on, as when I go to other stores like Fresh Thyme, who are equally as well stocked, have wonderful staff as well, and do not police me into wearing masks. Please note No One proved that face coverings protect from spreading viruses. Being a health food store probably 90% of customers are people who are health conscious and should understand that supporting the immune system is the only way to protect yourself from viruses. This is not a review to address the position of the person who did this. This is just their job. I am reviewing the poor management decisions of the store. I used to shop Whole Foods a lot and I am very disappointed to see such policies in place. They go against common sense and human rights.
Friendly, professional, high quality goods, and great selection! I oughtta know - since I am happy to report that I have thankfully been able to find a Whole Foods wherever I go! Woop woop, gotta keep my healthy eating on! From the North USA to the South, East to the West, Whole Foods the Best!! Hey, Im a natural... me and Whole Foods are best pals! If You Guys Use any of this Whole Foods, be sure to pay me, Or, a year of WF gift cards will suffice! Ha! Virtual Hugs and toodles☆☆☆🧚♀️
What a great neighborhood grocery store. I used to live in the area of Whole Foods Market and hadn’t been there in over a year. Ran into the store in hopes of finding a certain cookie l needed for a cake I was making and D and D had the cookie. I was in several other grocery stores looking for this cookie with no success. Thanks Whole Foods Market for always having the most unique things!
I always have mixed feelings about going to this whole foods. The selection is good, But the service is spotty. The ladies who helped me with the flowers couldn’t have been nicer, but when I had trouble getting the app to scan and asked the cashier to scan it himself, he said “ hold the phone 6 inches below the monitor please.” Thanks dude, I couldn’t figure that out for myself.
Love their meat!! No one has better!!
Ok... whole pay check. Lacroix water $5.49 @ reg grocery store $3.49.. Whole paycheck. Maybe lightening the green load of your wallet fits nice into the green new deal!
Joe, store manager and David ID for non alcoholic beer, kombucha but not Listerine. How’s that make sense Whole Foods? Use common sense...
High quality. High prices. High level of service. Sometimes I feel like my tax bracket is too low to shop here, but thats not Whole Foods fault. At least at this location, they have lunchtime deals $1 of their sandwiches which are really good.
Just awful customer service. Wont be back. Obviously, employees know their jobs are safe for the immediate future....they dont want to work! Im not a usual complainer but this was horrendous.
My favorite Whole Foods to go to! Something about this location always brings me in. Great customer service, great products, clean and well kept location.
It is long past due that I write this review! I spent about a year and a half to two years employed at this location. A fantastic group of people to work with, especially store leadership! It was the first job I ever had where I looked forward to coming into work! The growth potential I enjoyed and experienced while employed there helped me grow into a new career and new opportunities! Though I have since moved on to a different career and company I fondly remember the days I spent at this WFM!! It could be an opportunity for anyone and it is what you make it!
Amazon has ruined my experience at any of my WF stores by constantly changing and eliminating products that fit my Gluten free, soy free, dairy free diet.
The Best Grocery store for organic food. Nice atmosphere and staff
This location always has the best music playing! Good selection of organics and whole foods available in bulk. Cold beverages and large deli if you are looking for something on-the-go.
Nice new, rebuild of old Dominicks. Fresh food, but prices rather high for regular brands and staples found at other grocery stores. Good quality meats. Would not do all my shopping there. Produce too high too. Nice friendly staff.
This is a very nice Whole Foods
Nice place to shop once you get past the hippies
Whole foods has a great selection of produce and vegan products. Thank you!
Limited selection of vegetables. Cant even find spinach. Bakery good quality bread, but again less selection than regular wholefoods. Yogurt and daily selection is great. Meats look pretty fresh.
A modest Whole Foods, with a community feel. Ive often enjoyed a meal from their buffet and washed it down with a local craft beer. Check out Friday, when all draft beer is $4. And they have an assortment of canned and bottled beer and cider for $2 every day. Whole Foods on Green Bay Road is just a nice place to hang out, shop, and meet the neighbors.
Well stocked. Fresh food. Nice cheese selection. The fresh salmon I purchased was excellent. The fish guy removed the bones carefully. Much better overall experience here at the Evanston store than Northbrook.
It’s your garden variety supermarket with organic options. I sure do miss the craft beer bar they closed.
I am a regular Whole Foods customer in Chicago, primarily at the Edgewater store. There, the staff are friendly and attentive. Here, they are bored, looking at phones, and disinterested. Maybe I just dont get the suburban way of doing things...
Terrible customer service. I had a gift card and they told me I couldnt use it since they couldnt scan it. I called customer care for their gift card center. They informed me they need to manually enter it . The whole foods rep. said they cant for security purposes. I have been to a few other whole foods and they manually enter the gift card when I had a balance. Dont go here if you have any kind of giftcard. They are not helpful. Go to a different location where theyll help you and give you the customer service experience you deserve.
Dont really shop here often, but when I do its always a pleasant experience.. staff is really helpful and store looks clean and organized.
Upscale Neighborhood Shopping:Specialty foods are the highest quality - just be prepared to spend an (in)appropriately high amount (- 2 🌟). Bargain hunters & basic stock-up shoppers would best avoid.An extra star for the Amazon Prime tie-in since weve been members forever.If I need a few special items for one of my culinary Adventures in Excellence -- Im all over this market. {BUT - They might want to consider GREAT weekly deals a la every other major Big Box store on the planet} Just sayin .....
This is my favorite Whole Foods every - brand new and beautiful design!! I love the fresh pasta, fresh juice bar, mochi bar, macarons and their alcohol selection. By far the best WF in the north suburbs. Theyre all so nice here and Jared is the best.
The staff is so kind and thoughtful!! I only wish they would have a bit more variety in their prepared foods bar. Excellent store and staff.
Great shopping experience a bit pricey but also steady flows of great deals and a wonderful staff.
This location always has the best music playing! Good selection of organics and whole foods available in bulk. Cold beverages and large deli if you are looking for something on-the-go.
Absolutely love this store. Come here for grocery shopping. Prices are fantastic and fruits and veggies are usually top quality.
Bright clean store, not too big, not too small. Excellent organic produce. Nice extras like the wine, beer and juice bars. Plenty of room to eat in.
This store is outrageously cool, but unfortunately very pricey. Never really went to one before, they dont have any out in rural areas!
Love the layout of this newer Whole Foods! There is a bar, a cafe that serves Vietnamese iced coffee on tap, gelato, made to order BBQ, sandwiches and Mexican food, a sit down restaurant style wine bar, and a more boutique feel than your standard WF.
I was here to meet someone for coffee. Great space for coffee. Lots of tables, free wifi, and water nearby. If you go late enough in the day, you can skip the coffee and choose from one of the many beers on tap
High quality food and drink. Organic products diabetic foods and fruits from all over the world. Vegetables and vegan dishes, bakery treats and snacks and a large variety of wines and liquors. Large staff and parking lot.
We were looking for quick sandwiches and it wasnt easy. Finding a cool bottle of plain old water was hard too. Too much expensive organic stuff and not enough real food.
Man if you love over priced food that goes bad before you get home this is the place for you. Ok just kidding about the going bad. But way to pricey for my taste. But super clean and friendly. But that doesnt mean above and beyond.
Staff are always friendly and helpful. Bakery is capable and has a wide selection of bread. The pricing is very moderate if you stay away from the esoterica.
Its Whole Foods. Been to one... been to them all. Prices are higher but shopping experience is a bit more enjoyable.
Always a good experience at this location
The best shopping store in the area. Very clean, super nice staff and a good selection of products. Very fair and affordable prices. Highly recommended!
A giant Whole Foods with lots of prepared food including, pizza, sushi and sandwiches. Always parking and the staff is very friendly. Plus they have indoor seating where you can work or have coffee with friends.
Great place good customer service
The staff here are always friendly and helpful, the store is clean, the shelves are always well-stocked, and. This is my favorite place to shop, I recommend this supermarket to everyone.
“Sorry we don’t accept plastic bags for recycling anymore “. Luckily I was within 10mins of a Mariano’s where I did the recycling and all of the grocery shopping I would otherwise have done at Whole Foods, if they were able to live up to their green claims that is.
I love that this store is always well stocked and the prices are very fair. Quick check out! Recommended!
I love store, they are friendly, helpful and they know their products. I am hooked. You get no complaint here. Everyone deserve high praise.
Amazon doesn’t sell big packets of smart water but here you can always score a deal on single units of smart water
Its a nice, quiet store, with a decent phone selection. I received pleasant, intelligent customer service from Andre. He was great.
A little on the big side, but a really nice location. Own of the only local whole foods that sells the vegan sugar cookies (which are pure heaven).
Great place to shop but for some reason I can’t find everything i need. I go to the cicero location more due to that reason
I always have a great shopping experience here. The staff is so helpful and professional. Good prices and nice selections.
Great produce. Great cheeses and bakery goods. The staff WANTS you to enjoy shopping there.
Its where I can get the Plant Paradox Lectin Avoidance Diet food items I cant find at other stores such as almond flour pasta, cassava flour tortillas and cheese made from safe milk of goats, buffalos and Brown cows
They redid the parking lot and the new parking spots are really tight! Very hard to park.
Overall 4.5 starsEnvironment 5 starsFood quality 5 starsFood selection 5 starsStaff 4.5 starsPrice $$$/$$$$It’s a beautiful store. Product are high quality and kept nice on shelf.
Great friendly service every time. Wide selection of quality products. Cant wait to come back.
This is our very favorite Whole Foods Market! Momo would definitely recommend.
Very clean and nice people. Food healthy and expensive
Fresh products, clean environment. I’m working on going vegan and they definitely have the selection I’ve been looking for.
This place has become my favorite shopping store. Services are friendly, prices are decent and selection is great.
One of the better whole foods. Clean and has a nice area to sit and eat. Employees are very nice as well.
This store is awesome....great customer service, sampling, advice, and wonderful employees! Their 365 brand items are nicely , comparably priced with other stores, their sales are wonderful!
Very crowded to reinforce the Covi 18
What a great market, they have a little of everything. Very busy. The employees were very helpful.
Staff is always very considerate when I go to scan store for work.looks like thats coming to an end this week.ugh.
Great store with discount/rewards for Amazon Prime members. They are two bars with good choices.
Smaller than many of their stores, but has everything!! Great location.
It was fine, though they seem to always be out of demi-baguettes. Last few times I was there they didnt have them.
This whole foods is the best one Ive been too, full juice bar, friendly staff, everything is fresh
Great variety, great staff, convenient location and parking. And my 14 lb service dog is always welcomed!
Good whole foods. Well stocked and clean. Friendly staff
They never have enough people checking out and it takes ages. There will be a big pile up with lines and no additional workers will come out to help. Very poorly run.
This is a great place for getting a quick bite during office lunch hours. Really love their assortment
Nice, newer store, big selection of healthy food, but is more expensive than other stores.
Good selection of fine cheeses! Cut just to your specifications, inexpensive too!
It is a really healthy but a little bit exoensive place, where you can find lots of fruits and vegetables and healthy stuff. If you are searching for fast/junk food, this place is not for you.
This is a VERY large store!! Wonderful.
Seriously to the bar. $1 oysters and great selection and daily specials. And who know who you might run into.
Such a great location and well stocked.
Awesome place to get organic produce!
Clean friendly bright store. Their food had always been fresh
Friendly, helpful employees! Well stocked store. Love the pizza by the slice, yum!
A good place for organic groceries. Nice and clean. Good customer service.
This place is huge, and has a lot of variety in the products they offer. Nice staff.
I love coming here. The fruits and veggies are always looking delicious and fresh.
Always cheapest and the best. Cashiers are faster too than any other food store
Its nice ad clean and easy to navigate and find things.
Nice place to shop. Every one is very helpful.
Its everything you would expect from a Whole Foods. Gets a little crowded and my cousin had her credit card # stolen there.
Very positive with Service. Reached out and gave good assistance
Great store, not a lot of parking but oh well.
Good spot
Ample parking, wide aisles, friendly efficient cashiers and fast customer service.
Stopped by for an Amazon return. Friendly enough staff.
Reasonable selection, mildly pricey. Good for a slightly more diverse greens/seafood/meat selection
Super clean. Big. Lot of options. Nice people working there.
Nice whole foods. Like many of others well kept with a lot of healthy options
They have no idea what a French baguette is.
A very nice well stocked wholefoods. Great butcher and a decent fish mongers.
Oh my God I must visited Place, very clean great staff you will love it
Newer store, great selection and take home food bar.
Decent whole foods, Not much help or assistance at the prepared foods section
If you dont mind the elevated prices and are looking for a huge selection of organic options, this is the place to go!
Always over priced, most of the staff is nice, but there are always fresh items there
WHATS THERE NOT TO LIKE ABOUT WHOLE FOODS ... TOUGH TO IMPROVE PERFECTION !
Excellent service all around. Ashley in floral is especially helpful.
A better place to shop more expensive but you eat less it doesnt have all the fillers
They arent interested in offering senior discounts like valli does
Good customer support
Good wide selection of food, cant go wrong here
I love Whole Foods! Excellent service.
Best place to shop!! Great products at Great prices!!!
Very friendly and helpful staff
Lots of local coffee beans
Wide choice of organic foods. Some fruit prices have been reduced but most still expensive.
We come to Whole Foods to buy things that we cannot find at the other stores we go to.
Really happy with this Whole Foods. Great location!
Friendly, courteous, professional, and to sum it up the epitome of service. Thank you.
Love whole foods in general but this one is too big...
The best and large one is in Wilmette
👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝thanks all first
Great place! Awesome service!! People there are quite nice!!
Very expensive for lower quality than Jewl-Osco or Marianos.
Ate Take Out in their informal dining area; food is expensive.
I found it was easy to find someone to ask for help and they were very knowledgeable
Friendly helpful employees, it was a pleasant experience
Great place for organics. Always packed.
Whats not to like? Congenial staff, great food and yes, coffee.

2022-06-01A quick trip to grab some fresh essentials for my famous Pesto Chicken Pasta. Whole Foods never disappoints in the quality department which is why their prices are higher than other grocers, but I am sure to leave with fresh high-quality items that will more than satisfy by dinner companions. This market store is really cool !!! A lot of healthy food choices. Huge market. Selections are sometimes overwhelming. Good choices for wines. The staff here were really helpful and always trying to give their customers an assist by communicating and asking you if you need any help to find what youre looking for. Got really good experience shopping here

2022-02-02Sadly, the customer service at this location is really bad. Morale must be very low because most employees are curt, rude and unhelpful. You ask where something is- they dont know. You ask when something will come back in stock- they dont know. You ask if someone else does know, they send you to the customer service desk, which also usually has no clue. Its absolutely hopeless. Thankfully, theres a nearby Jewel that has saved the day on two recent occasions. Its really disappointing because Whole Foods used to be my favorite store but Amazon has apparently made some cost cutting changes that are making workers hate their jobs. 10 years ago, Whole Foods was a great, fresh place to shop with enthusiastic, knowledgeable employees. Now its like they just dont care

2022-02-02I worked with AJ to place a catering order for an event. She was super helpful about going over menu options and getting the order placed. Joe and Jesus delivered it right on time and went above and beyond bringing it inside the event space and walking me through everything. Everyone raved about the wings, fruit platter, veggie platter with ranch and hummus, and their pies! The event was a hit with wonderful food.

2021-11-29This Magnificent indoor market is one of the Best Organic Specialty Stores amongst Top Grocery Specialty Stores. The overall shopping experience is simply incredible!I most certainly will recommend this Brand Name store to Family members and friends!
Review №8
2021-12-24CHEATS. Twice in past 2 months we have bought skirt steak at this Whole Foods - 3 pounds and 2 pounds. BOTH times we got home to find they had done the same scam . . . substituted a much cheaper cut of beef for the skirt steak, while leaving one single piece of skirt steak on top which they showed us while wrapping it up and asked Does this look good? Meaning, its no accident its the corporate policy or store policy to cheat customers. And good luck talking to the front desk about it, they are dismissive even for valid, POLITE complaints.

2022-02-09Great place to shop. You will spend a bit more here then a local jewel or trader Joes; the selection cant be beat.
