I have been a loyal Whole Foods customer since the opening of the Bishops Corner store. It's a much warmer environment than the Blue Back Square store and easier to park. I was initially quite saddened by the news of Bishops Corner closing. But no more. The omnipresent Amazon delivery people, and consistently empty shelves, even for staples like milk and orange juice today, have killed the shopping experience for which I was previously willing to pay extra. The introduction of occasional discounts does not compensate for the decline in customer service. I will, however, miss the excellent staff at Boshops Whole Foods Bishops Corner should close now and just be a delivery warehouse. How can you open a store with many empty shelves, of even the most basic items like orange juice, produce, frozen fruits and vegetables and deli items, first thing in the morning? Week after week. And the food they do have in stock you often can't get to because the aisles are completely blocked by delivery people, their carts, or unpacked boxes of food everywhere. Customer feedback apparently makes no difference.

Nice Whole Foods, full coffee bar to stop before you shop. I always go to the sale freezers and refrigerator bins by the butcher, and you can actually get away with some awesome deals and sales especially around holidays. Other than that, you just can't beat the deals on flowers here, can't wait to use prime delivery or pick up too. Use your prime discounts people!

Whole foods is always very good, this one is a bit smaller than the normal store. But really just as nice.

Great selection of health item, they have a lot of plant based prepared foods now and kombucha you can self pour in bottles you can bring and refill which is great! Love that! Less waste! I know it's an expensive store, but you can earn reward dollars if you have amazon prime. The only reason I have this 4 stars is because I feel like some items are very overpriced, we went there because our dogs were in the car we were starving and it was cool enough to leave them in the car, run in and grab something quickly to eat!

This is the closest Whole Foods to us but I wouldn't mind going to the other one because our experiences keep going down hill. From the entrance being both and entrance and an exit causing traffic jams to the number of people doing Prime Now and clogging the aisles with their face buried in their phones not paying attention I find this to be a very frustrating store. And their selection is much smaller than any other. Half the time they don't have what you're looking for. Occasionally you can be surprised though. Then today we had maybe 1 additional item to the 10 item max and there was no one behind us and the guy told us we couldn't use his register. Then the friend we were with didn't have his phone and we offered him to use our code and they yelled at us and told us we weren't allowed to do that either. The lack of empathy and understand and downright rudeness of the employees was very disappointing for the premium you pay to shop there. The locker is convenient there although I've had some issues with amazon allowing me to ship items there and no lockers being available and delaying items delivery by several days. Or, the items are supposed to be delivered by a certain time and they get there after the store closes. They apologize and issue a credit but it seems their logistics need to do better.

It's not the biggest WF you'll find, nor does it have the often-expected dizzying food bar selection. What it does do, however, is provide a great spot to pick up high quality ingredients for your favorite meals. And with the Amazon Prime deals you can get, shopping there was almost reasonable in terms of price the last time I went. My favorite thing about this store is the produce selection. It's simply the freshest stuff around, high in quality with a fun, diverse selection that allows you to experiment with flavors. My wish is that the meat/fish selection would expand. At WF in other cities, you could find gorgeous, sustainable tuna steaks. The options here are less robust. But I'm sure that will come with time. For now, get the app, pay attention to sales and take advantage of your prime membership!

Love their produce and have actually discovered it isn't necessarily much more expensive than other markets. In fact, some items are less. But the quality is always outstanding.

Great place to shop for healthy and organic food. Since Amazon took them over, their prices have been unbeatable, even comparing to large chain grocery stores. There is also a wide variety of options to choose from to have lunch or dinner, especially their sushi!

Well, I use to shop here often, not anymore. Was treated so rudely when I asked a simple question. I asked if they had something for the salad bar that was out, she said I go go I to the store and buy it myself and use it. I asked her to go i the back and look and she said no, I could go get it in the store myself. WHAT!? Really!? I was shocked, Just a few days before the same thing happened and the man went and looked and did the best he could to help me. I wasn't put out because the items wasn't there, I was put out because of the rudeness. Also the cashiers are extremely rude the last few months. I am never greeted, and the cashier and bagger talks among themselves and. Out with customers like they use to. Amazon is bringing this place down. I have been disappointed by many things, yet this is my last straw. I am exclusive Trader Joe's now.
Who doesn't love quality groceries and everything else you'd find in a grocery store?! Yes we all know that WF is a bit pricier than most grocery stores but it's the price you pay for quality and what you want basically. I love this and every other WF for the amazing produce section. I buy fresh fruit and veggies every week and there's the best in my opinion. This WF is a little smaller than the others I've visited but it has all the same components. I love the hot foods and salad bar. (Not fill up too much, it's priced by weight!) The store is always clean, staff are super friendly and helpful with any questions and they even have a eat in section if you want to stop and eat your food there.

Constantly crowded, as if it were the only cafe, market, and quick food buffet in the area. Not enough space to accommodate everyone, and pair that with mediocre buffet options of BBQ leftovers, meh.
Excellent market with plenty of parking

No wine for sale in grocery stores in CT.
Healthy organic stuff, fresh produce, nice ambience
Nice beer selection
