Feels like being in an European supermarket. Not a regular Whole Foods.

A favorite spot for lunch, pizza and chips with a soda pop from neighboring store. Dessert selections means always something new to try.

Other than being pricey (as in Whole Paycheck) this grocery store is awesome. Lots of healthy fresh options to satisfy special dietary wants/needs. Now you have to wait in Line to get in with your mask on--thanks for really practicing healthy shopping over profits!!! Buts it is worth it if you want fresh sustainable seafood, a delicious colorful choice of produce, fresh baked breads, and healthy choices. I feel that Whole Foods has been very proactive in keeping their customers safe. Thanks! There is a wide assortment of body care products as well as groceries.

Very nice cashiers. COVID is bringing out the dysfunction again and the size is problematic. They do not have the lining up supervised or handled as it wraps around the corner beyond where they can see. Provoked a verbal altercation and violation of physical distancing today when certain people started making a second line then when confronted 'cut' back in where he thought he deserved to go. Called the customer service desk from the line to let them know we needed help, and the answer was "okay I'll let someone know"...and they never sent anyone out. I regularly miss our North Raleigh WF, and for safety reasons will have to go elsewhere from now on.

Pleased with this Whole Foods. I am from SoCal so it was a pleasant experience at a new Whole Foods on the other side of the country and a fine one at that despite limited hot food choices due to (fake) Covid. (Just do your own research on Corona Viruses and viruses in general...) This Whole Foods offered a great selection of prepackaged hot foods so they stayed on point with their prep game.

Cold coffee and takes so long to check out!

I'm a fan of this Whole Foods. As work traveler I frequent this store on a weekly basis to buy some food and snacks for the week while I work in the area. It went through a recent remodel and now includes a lot of the same amenities of the regular large sized whole foods. Previously it was missing some of the hot food options which made it a challenge when traveling with coworkers that just wanted some white rice (and before we had to travel to another Wholefoods just to get that option). If you like to pay a premium and get some good stuff go here, if you're not into the organic or Amazon taking over craze, skip and go to your local cheaper option.

Great variety of foods; often find products can't find in other grocery stores. Their staff is awesome; they are knowledgeable about their meats, fish and other products and they will go out of their way to help you find something. Their prepared foods are very good especially their pizza.

Would be easy 4.5-5But their is serious fly problem. Really worried the same flies from men's room are landing on me in the cafe. Love this store but get rid of flies.

This used to be a favorite store. I liked the product selection and the buffet. We would stop there for a meal. But sooo much has changed! The buffet now has very few items. And they serve junk like tater tots and macaroni & cheese! I could get that at Golden Corral! Where are the veggies and interesting international items? The store was so cramped and people were not showing their best manners. Left here and went to the North Raleigh store. Better food, friendly staff, and courteous customers.
Yup, I still detest this Whole Foods. I live in a suburb of Raleigh now and moved away from my precious North Raleigh Whole Foods. This one was closest to us to grab food to make our anniversary dinner and I regret not making the drive up to North Raleigh instead. None of the employees wanted to be at work, the store is still way too cramped for the traffic, there's no layout whatsoever to the store, the bakery is awful and some of the employees are either really lacking in common sense or just hate their jobs that much. Do yourself a favor and avoid this Whole Foods. There are alternatives in this part of town and there are better Whole Foods in the Triangle if you really need to visit Whole Foods.

I mean Whole Foods is great. I love the salad and hot bar here. So many great dessert options and of course gluten free and vegan options for my poor husband who can't eat wheat or dairy. Love their produce, they always have those weird vegetables I have never heard of but a random recipe calls for them. I love getting a beer before starting my shopping, which makes the whole process so much more bearable. Their cheese station is amazing. Great local beer selection. They only lose 1 star because the workers tend to be rude and I think the store is pretty small and cramped

Meat department loses 2 stars here, I wanted a boneless grass fed ribeye (some of them looked amazing) and a guy behind a counter asked me for help, looked like he was busy with other things and didn't have much interest in helping me, but off he went, wrapped up my steak in record time. When I got home, it looked like the guy actually made an effort to pick out the worst piece of meat possible (a one pound steak with half of it a big block of fat). This annoyed me, perhaps it was my fault for not immediately telling him which piece, but he was in a rush... Whole Foods train your meat counter employees to at least pretend like they care about what they are serving customers (by the way, this is not a reflection of the fish department as this crew takes care and pride in what they are selling).

While this has been my primary spot for groceries due to the option to buy items in bulk in my attempt to reduce my consumption of food packaging, however this WF has a major issue: 9 times out of 10 there is at least one (if not more) produce item that is covered in mold!!! I have seen moldy kale, broccoli, shallots, you name it. Where is the quality control here...I like most WF stores, but this place is a health hazard.

Not super impressed. It's always so crowded that you can barely take time to look at anything. The prices are insanely high on a lot of things ($5.99 for Kashi cereal?! The same cereal is $3.79 at Harris Teeter which is already an expensive store). The store layout makes it nearly impossible to find what you need or get around the massive crowds of people (the baked goods are in a case directly where people line up at the registers). And ever since Amazon bought them things have gone down hill...you have to be a Prime member to get any good deals and I refuse to support a tax-evading, planet-destroying mega-corporation. Every time I visit this store I'm reminded why I don't go to Whole Foods.
