This is a solid option to get caffeinated before, during, or after your Whole Foods shopping. The espresso is good, and is actually brewed on a good machine. You can even grab a cookie/pastry from the bulk section a few steps away to accompany your drink, even though it’s not the most elegant way of getting that. The area to sit and drink is more reminiscent of an astroturf patio (because that’s literally what it is), so you wont get a cool coffee shop vibe here; but at least there is a place to sit. Barista was cool when I visited.
Vegetarian options: The menu is all vegetarian

Amazon is destroying Whole Foods. When this "flagship" store first opened it was bright and cheerful and full of fresh colorful produce. The staff was friendly and helpful. Over the past year the produce has declined severely and it's very obvious that, of the staff who have not left, it's an unpleasant place to work. Today I was unable to buy basic staples, including broccoli, celery, cauliflower, red chard, and collard greens because they were rubbery, yellow, brown and rotten, or simply "unavailable." I vented to an assistant produce manager named Lydia and she just sneered at me. It's a shame. Thank goodness we have good farmer's markets in the area - I go weekly to South Pas. I'm waiting for Erewhon to open so that I never have to walk into this Whole Foods store again.
