I dont know but most of them who works there slow to help you looking for and things they sell it costs extra that other stores other than that all good, it is better than the jungle where the foods are in one place for you and safe enjoy it when it lasts.

I love the selection of foods at Whole Foods. I also had lovely interactions with the staff. The store is clean and easily laid out. The pizza is good too!

Decent as whole foods go, the store is on the small side. And of course for a loaf of bread and milk its $25 but thats the world weve allowed ourselves to live in. I came to charge the car. The charger is only marginally fast.

This store throws out food that’s goes beyond “best by” date instead of giving away/offering to people who work there (like the SOMA store does).Review is not a reflection of people who work here. Passing on what I’ve been told from a cashier and a second person who works in the specialties department.

Whole Foods is what it is - expensive but at least there is some real food here plus a wide variety of supplements. The restroom at this one was not clean today, and I was still glad it was there. Sometimes the Amazon deals are worthwhile.

This is one of the smaller Whole Foods in the area and parking can be a challenge. They do have a CHAdeMO & J1772 EV charging station.Friendly and helpful staff that seem easier to find when Ive had questions.Given the choice, Id rather go to Berkeley Bowl, which isnt too far away down Ashby.

This is the place where the healthy food is sold. The prices are higher then average. However, in a long ran eating food from this store will keep anyone from unnecessarily doctors appointments. Recomend!

Ordered a sandwich at the deli what was fantastic if not pricy.

Whole foods is usually considered a more progressive store. Thats why its so surprising to see that shoppers are allowed to roam around without wearing masks correctly.

Great people, the two ladys in the receiving area are really professional and kind and very helpful.

The two was for a rude SG standing in the middle of Whole Food directing people traffic. The door had 15/20 does and dont and articled to read first before you enter the store. When you are done reading 10 mins of rules then you are told to put on your mask. After reading the rules i had no intent of entering the store.Each aisle to aisle seemed like someone personnal collection.Suprised by buffet 9.99 pd. for the take out entries; the meat selection are heavy and will break your bank.I can do without meat or food next time (receipt) but their want be a next time.

Not the best selection compared to other whole foods in the area. You can buy basic groceries. The produce is only okay.

This one whole foods should be avoided. It is managed badly. Despite the number of people behind the counter at the deli, they are unable to follow their turn numbering system and even the simplest requests take an inordinate amount of time. Other whole foods stores are managed better.

They never have enough checkers and you gotta wait in line forever

My visit to WF on Ashby showed me that the staff is very dedicated to their work, helpful and fun to talk with. Friendly. It was nice. The line was long but moved quickly.

I hate the weird food selection, but service is always friendly. Just generally too single-raced for my liking.

I appreciate that it’s a little smaller than the other local Whole Foods. Well stocked usually and swift lines.

Review №31

This is an old whole foods. Its small and parking is lacking. What they offer is good. As with any Whole Foods, its over priced. The parking problem is part of life in Berkeley.

Well maintained helpful staff expensive like any other whole foods but over all pleasant experience

Review №33

I got my bike stolen here. In front of store. In front of camera. They couldn’t even bother to look at the footage for me. Even more, a slap in the face to me... I was in on one of their meetings talking about “relief funds” incase of an emergency... my bike was my only transportation at the time. If you want to support bad businesses, here you go

Ju
Review №34

Lovely but expensive.Sadly when I and my disabled friend got some coffee and pastries the guard wouldnt allow us to set on a bench. I know its because of covid but the restaurants are serving outdoors . Good heavens did she expect us to balance everything standing up. Impossible!

The best Whole Foods I have ever experienced is the one in Oakland, which is expansive and aesthetically pleasing with high, lofty ceilings. This one is your typical Whole Foods.

Vi
Review №40

Nice selection of products, fresh produce and meat. Food to go available. Onsite parking and easy wheelchair and walker access. Near us 6 line, shirt walk from lines 51 and 18, and a 10minute walk from Ashby BART station. Outside coffee and tea stand.

Wow! Grocery pick up was so easy! Dont be daunted by the line to get in the store....I hadnt done this during the initial throes of The After, but I did today. Amazon Prime via Whole Foods pick up at store service was great! I ordered about $130 worth of stuff, including wine(!) about an hour and a half before I wanted to pick it up and it was ready to go on time and correctly. They only had to make one substitution and I swear they threw the asparagus in for free. The shopper even brought it to my car for me. They have designated parking spots for pick up right outside the front door. I was a newbie and didnt see them, so he offered to bring them over. Sweet kid, tipping was very appreciated.All in all, I was there maybe 5 min. Check in as soon as you arrive, or even a few minutes before if youre in a huge hurry. I just wasnt sure how the process worked at first, so I checked in after I parked, then realized I was supposed to park elsewhere and had to walk over to the front door to find him. Signage is really easy once you look up, LOL! 🤦🏻‍♀️I truly hope this aspect remains a permanent part of life in The After. Looking forward to my next order!

A littler unorganized. Each time I go the rules for entry are different also have to pay for electric car charging. However they have what I need.

Despite Dr. Gottlieb from Pfizer assuring that masks indoors are needless, the store security officer would not allow me to enter without one. To his credit, he had one on hand for me to use.

Whole Foods is the best for all my Vegan needs.

Came here to get a few things. The staff is always friendly and helpful. About the only thing I would suggest getting is the Eco brand hand sanitizer. Maybe the store was out of stock. But I know Ive gotten that the other Whole Foods and its one of my favorite brands.

It has good food, good service, and it was pretty fast.

Review №61

It seemed a while lot more chaotic than it has been over the past few weeks. During initial weeks of SIP, they had directional floor markings, opened to only 60+, more traffic control at registers. Now the store had a lot more people wandering around any old place, not social distancing, weirdly crowded at 8am. Still okay but not great relaxation of a protocol that kept people calmer and safer.

This WF is as good as the others but its parking space per car is a lot narrower than other WFs.

Went and picked up two delicious cakes but the lady behind the counter was a little rude and nonchalant about her job

Great customer service and yummy breakfast options at the hot food area.

Tr
Review №66

Always appreciate the atmosphere and feel of all their stores, i.e., the low lighting which I think makes it softer, more relaxed. Theres lots of good for you products, i.e. organic & gluten free, with the regular, processed products right next to them. This location has a shortage of some items so they moved some of the products to other aisles so just because you cant find the soup doesnt mean they dont have have any.

Sandwich makers are terrible.For example, just 1 of many examples, you dont make a sandwich but chopping the avocado into giant cubes, that fall off the sandwich, followed by using an unripe one.

The express line (10 items or fewer) had a single sign that I didnt notice, and I was turned away to wait for another 15 minutes in a COVID environment because my basket had about 15 items.

For a Whole Foods this place is lame the one on Gillman at 10th is far superior.

Review №74

Its in an older building, which stands out for Whole Foods. The store size feels a bit smaller than most. They seem to have less selection across the board, but it still has all of the standard departments. Was able to easily find parking, and get in and out the other day at dinner time. I recommend if you just need a few quick things and want to avoid the crowds of the other local more popular grocery stores.

Great whole foods market! At times parking can be challenging. Good quality on everything! Food, service, options, safety/security.The location is good for Berkeley and North Oakland residents.My wifes favorite food is their Brownies.Mine, pretty most everything. Prices are not always friendly.

Whole foods has gone down hill hard since it was bought by Amazon. The last two times I was here all of the organic bulk bins have been empty.

I am only reviewing a cappuccino I got here. The milk was insanely hot!!! Even after adding half and half and putting on a sleeve I couldn’t hold the cup while shopping AND I AM A BAKER. My hands are basically hot-proof paws.

Review №96

I hadnt been to this whole foods in two months. Half the customers in the store had masks with valves that dont protect anyone else from Covid19 as they allow the user to expel their unfiltered breath. Some of aisles were pretty bare. It freaked me out that no one seemed aware of the problem with valved masks during the pandemic. I worry about the employees.

Review №97

I ordered pick up for the holidays which is supposed to take place outdoors. They made me wait inside for 10 minutes, go back to the meat counter myself, and wait in line to pay in-store, because they refuse to let you prepay. The whole point of the pickup system is to limit human exposure which they are failing at.That’s not even mentioning how far over 50% capacity, let alone 20% that they were...

Review №99

Pre or post covid I’ve never been disappointed with my visits. Staff all around are always very kind and attentive if you need something. Very organised like most grocery stores. I love the cafe and deli section, definitely my go tos besides the wine section. Parking can be tough when it’s busy but plenty of side streets in the Gilman district when that happens.
