Glad Amazon decided to work with the city in order to put a grocery store in the city! Yes Whole Foods is a bit more expensive but the prices did go down pretty significantly after Amazon purchased them.For those not use to paying for foods that don’t contain crazy chemicals this place probably is a shock to the system so i suggest buying vegetables and a few other products and then shop elsewhere for other items.Having Amazon prime and their credit card also helps the overall cost and offers some incentives for using their card which works just fine in this Whole Foods BTW.The Whole Foods main parking lot can get full quickly but the overflow parking works pretty well! Overall happy with products, service and location!

So glad to have the Whole Foods here. Yes, the parking can be busy, and options are less compared to the ones in suburbs, but I still appreciate the store being in Detroit so that I can stop by here quickly and get most of the things I need instead of driving 30 minutes out to suburbs. FYI Amazon credit card can be used here. I use it here all the time and never had an issue with it.

Its good. Had mostly what we wanted and all that we needed except for non fufu beers. Didnt have some things like olive salad already prepared but I think its because they stock for their local clientele and so we changed up our ideas and enjoyed our dinner and wine.

Parking lot is extremely small but free. Parking in the garage can be $10-12 depending on the day. You can validate except a minimum $25 purchase is required even though the sign outside is deceiving and says $0 purchase is required. Sign at customer service does not indicate any minimum amount required for validation. Seems that customer service made up their own rules about a $25 minimum.

Post signage if you can’t use your Amazon credit card in store!!!!!!!! Drove over 30 minutes away from home just to use my QR code for my new Amazon credit card, spent over $200 in store (lots of stuff including non-organic produce is extremely over priced mind you), JUST TO FIND OUT THAT I COULDNT EVEN USE IT AT CHECK-OUT! There is literally a giant electronic sign inside that reads “5% cash back with Amazon credit card purchase, or using your Amazon QR code,” yet I couldn’t even use my credit card QR code. I’m SOOOO incredibly disappointed and there is no signage saying I cannot use it. What a waste of my time & money. Was really looking forward to coming here in the future again too. Cashier was unhelpful as well- asked me to scan my QR code then told me I couldn’t use it for payment WHAT?! SOOOO UPSET! Ridiculous!!

It is super friendly, food is always fresh. The organic selection is phenomenal. The staff is always their to help when you need. The lines move at a fast pace. They keep the rest rooms clean. The olive bar is great. They have a cool selection of wine. The nuts are fresh. The flowers are up kept.

Ive been going here for years and I never left a review because I always forget to do that but I enjoy shopping at this Whole Foods, its a little small but I appreciate that its near my apartment. I gave it four stars because the fresh cooked is in a OPEN space and I see people doing things near that food that is unsafe, I watched a lady put her fingers in the food to sample the food. One day a kid dropped some food and put it back in the pan. I also dont understand why they dont carry king crab legs and perch fish. How about opening up a bigger store downtown a second location that has everything.

Its great to have a Whole Foods in the city. Hot food bar for lunch. A little smaller then the usual store with still the great products. Parking can be a little busy depending if you are shopping in peak hours.

So nice to have a Whole Foods so close to Childrens Hospital. We were able to get my daughter organic food that is not offered in a hospital setting. Also ate quite a few meals from here myself. All of their hot soups I tried were absolutely delicious! Five Stars! Their meal deals with a main course & two sides was not only tasty and healthy but very affordably priced! I wish I would have known sooner all the great options of ready-to-eat meals they offer, I would have eaten here everyday during our two week stay at the hospital! Thank you Whole Foods!

Whole Foods never disappoint! Clean stores, friendly staff and great food choices. If youre trying to lose weight, go to the hot foods section with $5. Thatll be portion control at its finest! That good food is satisfying for sure but those plates are EXPENSIVE AS EVER!WEIGHT LOSS = HOT FOOD SECTION, $5. That will get you a wing, two french fries and a half slice of bread. LolTheyre a 10 in my opinion. Also try the Rubicon chocolate cupcakes. Awesome!

Theres some things that I like to buy from this store, but in all honesty your really just paying for the name. Ive been to much cleaner, more organized, and friendlier speciality grocery stores. My biggest gripe is the lack of consistency regarding deli foods, and the overall disorganization in that area.

They remark how good their food is by being organic, but where is the saturated fats and cholesterol and overall fats and high sodium content come from. I can find more suitable food at grocery stores like savalot Kroger and other food stores. Will not go back, high price for unhealthy food.....

I ❤️Whole Foods and shopped it via Amazon Prime . Great selection of produce and everyday staples as well as specialty stuff. However now I am being charged a 9.99 delivery fee I am breaking my 2 times a week shopping habit bc it’s not worth an extra 20 bucks. I live 25 miles from the nearest store so pick up is not easy.I hate that I have to make this change .

Seemed okay. Nothing stood out as exceptional. Whole Foods is a little on the pricier side but they do carry a lot of high quality brands. Linking your Amazon Prime account will give you good deals.

Organic chicken is one product we used to buy from Whole Foods in any city we used to go. But so far Detroit Whole Foods has been disappointing particularly meat section. They behave like they are an independent unit and not at all answerable to Whole Foods management. Initially they used to say they will not cut the meat after 9 PM, later when even when we are in the store they said timings are 8 and after couple of weeks it was 7. Timings of meat market are not listed on website and there is no information on when how they operate. We were at the store by 7 PM today and they as a team in meat market decided to stop chopping chicken, we can see there station which is clearly worked on today. I have never expected an Amazon service would be not reliable at all. And meat market in few other locations in Detroit is not consistent Ike this location.

This Whole Foods is small. Relatively speaking, it is the smallest I have ever been to. The staff is friendly. Selections are few on most items, quality is fair. I wish they had the Bar and Grill set up that most other Whole Foods have, it would be enjoyable to enjoy a beer or glass wine while you shopped, like other locations around the country. Curious why they choose to build this one so small. Overpriced but expected.

2 stars go for some employees that are really trying to make it work! Other than that this WF is really lacking… It’s a small one, which might be ok for a city but there are no other ones so it’s annoying…I am from CA so I might be bias… they are huge there but I also lived in NYC with small city Whole Foods much nicer than this one… no meat section, (just pre packed) the buffet is very limited… can’t always find veggies (butternut squash or pre-packed greens) In more than one occasion I couldn’t find carts and had to go to back the parking lot to chase one. Cashiers are not always the nicest or helpful… if you bring your own bags (You know… sustainability?!) they don’t help you bag, I know it’s company’s policy but one day the cashier literally asked me “can you pay so I can help the next costumer” while I was trying to bag a mountain of items and had a baby in the cart moving…I paid and kept bagging as fast as I could and then he started pushing my things and bagging the groceries of the next costumer while I was still there… I seriously felt so rushed and unwelcome … So, now I don’t bring my own bags anymore… Lastly… always, always, always, no matter day or time: Very long lines and few cashiers available … Whole Foods really dropped the ball with this location

I love that Whole Foods came to Detroit. For large swaths of the city grocery stores just don’t exist. For those outside Detroit, It’s a central hub that you can get to easily from the metro area. Free parking is often packed but I’ve always found a spot. The employees seem happy and are therefore quite helpful. It makes me so happy to be in a place filled with happy people and quality food.

I have to say this Whole Foods is pretty great. Well maintained and kept facility with a bountiful amount of produce and products to choose from. Fruits and vegetables range from tropical to local as well as Fair Trade. I love the fact that is your an Amazon Prime member you can get 10% off off select items as well as order online with delivery.Another highlight is that there is someone at the door making sure all baskets and carts are disinfected and sanitized before customer use to ensure safety during Covid.Overall I love this location in the heart of the city. I will definitely visit again! (Attached is a picture of the fruits and beverage I purchased there).

The bakery lady scolded me for taking a cookie label. If its not meant for the customers to take, put a sign up and start treating customers with respect. Also, having labels out for customers to go through is unsanitary. You would think whole foods would do better.

Whole foods use to be the go to spot but in all honesty for a small piece of cake $3.99, really? Another customer was saying the same thing, she said bc everyone getting food stamps food prices have been going up.🤔 When shopping here its best to chose certain items not grocery shop. Amazon pick up is available up stairs, excellent idea they have is alot of hand sanitizer around the market and the hand made soap is wonderful.

Review №48

So Im standing in a really long line to get groceries because they have most of the registers closed I guess to protect somebody from Covid-19, and I guess the best way to do that is to make sure theres really long lines of people who stand next to each other for long periods of time.But then when I get up to the register, the girl working their register is going to complain and tell me that I need to pull my mask up more? How about have all your registers open, so that people can get in and out of the store if youre so concerned about my safety? And unless you have a medical professional working at each register, I dont need instructions on how to wear or even not wear my mask.

The store is too small to serve the community. It was too small when it 1st opened. The company underestimated the need for the store.I visited to make an Amazon return.Thank GOD my husband was with me to stand in the line outside the door while I, a member of the Disabilities Community, waited in my car for him to approach the head of the que.Once inside & directed somewhere, we asked several times where to go, including while standing at the unmanned counter for...Amazon Returns.The return process itself was easy enough, but no receipt was provided for the return. When I asked I was told, I would get a receipt in my online account.The UPS store gives me a receipt, Ive never had to stand in line to get in & even if there are people ahead of me, the process is quicker.I cant afford Whole Foods, so I think Ill continue using UPS to make my Amazon returns.

A good grocery store with lots of organic options, but I wish they would have customers pack their own bags - the lines would move much faster if they did - and incentivize bag reuse more (stop double bagging, its wasteful and unnecessary).

First time shopping at this location and I must say I was impressed. Most things were in stock except for water it was in limited supply.

I love shopping here. They have food that is healthy for you, not everyone cares for whole foods, due to high prices. I pray that Whole Foods corporate offices, start weekly or biweekly testing for the Covid-19 on all employees. When it was found that more than twenty employees had the covid-19 virus, I stop shopping there for a month. Im happy they are again, allowing customers to shop with limited people inside.

Love this place, customer service is excellent! The young man who helped me was very polite and informative, wish most people who work in a store like this, would be able to answer your questions like I was helped in this store. And he also informed me that they were having a sale the next weekend, bagged up some of my things, because I needed to by a couple items right then, and saved the rest for me to get the sale rate that next weekend! Wow! Never had that happen to me! 😁 This how I looked when I left the store. 🤣 You go guys ! Youre number 1 in my books.

Whole foods always has every hard to find food products in stock and with inventory constantly being checked rarely will you ever be disappointed by bad produce or old products. Best way to shop any whole foods market is smaller more frequent buys to ensure your always getting the most bang for your buck without wasting food at home as real food does go bad quicker than foods filled to the brim with preservatives.

Review №88

Food is fresh, hot and there is a bounty full of variety. Wide selection of groceries, unique products, friendly staff.Two stars for personal reasons, I guess things that would only impact me or someone in my situation.Eating in the parking lot.....Whole Foods is no money saving meal, it can sometimes cost a pretty penny. I work on the road, use my phone a lot for calls, incoming and outgoing, that is my lunch everyday, it is annoying and bothersome to others around you when you have to be on the phone. If I purchase food from Whole Foods, I should be able to eat it sitting in the parking lot in my car, not told that I must leave right away. I understand that the grocery store parking lot is not considered an actual parking lot although why is it okay that I sit inside for an hour and eat my food or sit outside on the benches for a hour or more..by the way it is WINTER tho I cannot eat the food I bought from the store in my vehicle. Please NOTE that after I eat I directly take off. I will no longer visit this Whole Foods and gladly visit several other well respected Detroit grocery stores or restaurants. I have also showed the security guard receipts of my purchase from Whole Foods and asked him this is exact question of how this makes any sense... They just tell you to go.
