I LOVE the Whole Foods at River Rd. / Craycroft. It's super clean, the produce is impeccable, the meats & roasts are delicious, and the staff is always friendly. The service counter is also a favorite of mine and is extremely helpful for quick lunch / dinner options. I can not leave the store without visiting the desserts. Family favorites include the plain pound cake and lemon iced loaf, both of which are delish with morning coffee. Then, there's this moist, strawberry frosted cupcake. This single cupcake is absolutely divine! Id say rich, but then that implies 'share,' and who wants to share with such a heavenly bite? Haha
I live nowhere near this location, and it's worth the effort and fuel expense every time. I deliberately choose this location to drop my Amazon returns so I have an "extra" reason to stop by 😉
Update: 6/15/2023. Had some really good nachos and carnitas tacos at the bar today.
We recently ate at the bar/cafe in the store and, well, the results were mixed. While the service, music, and ambiance were good, the food was not. The pub fish and chips were over-fried and the batter was overwhelming. The carnitas tacos were fine, but could have been seasoned better. The chips and quac were good. So, hopefully the next try there will be better.
Whole Foods provides consistently good service and unique, flavorful grocery items for sale. The bakery is quite good - notably the macaroons, lemon bars/tarts, and flourless chocolate cake. The cheese selection is also excellent. In addition, the gluten-free selection of products is good and quite extensive. The only relative negative is that the prices are fairly high, but I think they are mostly justified based on the good quality.
Stopped in from out of town for lunch to get some good stuff for our hotel fridge; while there we noticed the in store bar. New concept for us. Soooo… instead took advantage of it and had lunch there. Service was awesome, tacos were great!
