First I have to say I love this store and visit it frequently, however, I purchased Whole Foods Mushroom and Barley soup from the prepared foods section. The soup was delicious and I was enjoying it until I chomped down on a piece of wood that was in the soup. Luckily I didnt break a tooth on it. I have no idea how a piece of wood finds its way into a container of soup and will be very leery of buying any prepared foods there.

Good organic foods. Produce is fresh. I love the expanded salad section with lots of bottled dressings to choose from. The bakery has unique fresh baked breads like sprouted spelt four, olive, rosemary sourdough, multi grain, qhole wheat, etc. Bring your own bags as they give you a 5 cent credit for each one used!

This review is for a red velvet cake ordered a week prior to pick up for a birthday. Ive ordered many whole cakes from Whole Foods before and I thought that quality control would be consistent across the many locations. Sadly this was not the case. This cake was horrible. It was dry and stale as if it were baked soon after we ordered it and just sat on a shelf until we picked it up days later. The frosting was way too sweet and tasted nothing like the cream cheese icing traditionally on red velvet cake. Lastly, when cut, the cake looked nothing like red velvet cake. It was brown like chocolate. I could have looked past the color of the cake if it at least tasted good, but this was just a bad, bad cake. So disappointed in the quality and embarrassed for having served this to guests!

This Whole Foods is always busy, regardless of what time you go. The parking lot is always busy too! Excellent selection and quality produce, meat, deli items, chesses, bakery selections. The staff is very friendly and professional. Overwhelming organic selections!

This grocery store is staffed with the best employees around! If only this was a bigger location, I wouldn’t have to go to the Fairlakes location or even Wegmans in Sterling to get the things this location is missing.If you are in the Reston area and need groceries, stop here!You won’t be disappointed!

I went in in yesterday for a cake and the people in the bakery weren’t helpful at all. The description of the cake i bought was completely different i asked for not to much frosting (i ordered the lemon raspberry cake). Goodness it was packed with frosting i think we cut like 3-4 slices and the rest just had to be thrown out. Very dissatisfied with the bakery. I went there cause supposedly its a bit more healthier than other grocery stores. Thats why i’m giving it a 1 star cause it wasn’t worth the money or the trip.

Very disappointing day for me. Today my wife asked for a cake and I went to buy a cake and got one large mango mouse cake. The taste of the mango cream is very horrible. It’s very sour and trashed it. When the whole foods is make any cake they should check the cake flavour is good nor bad before making these large expensive cakes.I strongly decided not to buy cakes from this store. Very disappointing day for my complete family. Please please check for the taste of these kind of items before buying. I hope my review helps to the cake lovers who plan to buy cakes from this store…

Masks required? Sure. I came here Tuesday 3/23/21 a little before 3:30p. The lady pictured walked in. A employee at the door told the lady a mask is needed. The lady responds “I don’t have one, can you just take my temperature”. The employee agrees and heads over to customer service to get the thermometer. After taking her temperature, the lady is allowed in the store. Once the lady is in the store, she is of course getting a lot of stares. She is also coughing and sneezing. I quickly head out the store, but before I leave I ask the lady who let her in the store about the mask policy. The employee states that if a customer doesn’t have a mask, they can take their temperature instead and they will be allowed to enter the store without a mask. I was extremely shocked by that information because masks are still required at stores from what I’ve seen. Even this particular store states masks are required. I work in healthcare and the company I work for had eliminated temperature checks at their facilities because a high temperature isn’t a relevant factor for COVID according to studies.This is extremely unacceptable and this employee should be briefed again about proper protocol. I know wearing a mask can be a pain sometimes, but a pandemic is still going on. This lady walked in with a sense of privilege and with a sense of being above wearing a mask and following protocols to keep everyone safe. She should have been immediately removed from the store. I will say that the employee offered her a mask and the woman declined and wanted a temperature check instead. This is highly disappointing and I will not be shopping here again.

The store itself is pretty good with great selections but the parking lot and the people/drivers this place attracts is worse than my old high school parking lot at 2pm, insanely aggressive and rude drivers. Maybe hire a parking attendant for the future.

Always a great selection of organic produce and products. I appreciate that they package the bulk items like cheese into a variety of sizes.

This whole foods is much smaller than others in the area I have been too. Their selection is decent but is comparatively lacking. I often have to go to a second grocery store to find all the products I need. But I think my biggest complaint is the lines, every-time I go to this location, there are massive checkout lines. I have waited over 20 minutes to checkout before, even when only buying a few items. I ultimately stopped coming to this location because of the checkout lines.

I shop everyday on the hot and cold bars of the Reston (lunch) and Alexandria Old Town (dinner) locations. Reston does not compare in terms of selection or consistency unfortunately. When products run out, the staff does not seem to want to replenish them (ie salmon), and todays grilled chx strips were spoiled. I know they can do better and they havent lost my business in Reston, yet.

Its always super cold in here, but product offerings and service is great all the time!

Outstanding professionalism and customer service. Becky in the hot and cold food bar was sensational. Very kind courteous. Becky truly great.

Food here is pricey, but worth it for the quality. You will not have to search through a bunch of bad fruits and vegetables to pick out the good ones as most of them will be fresh and ripe. There are also more international options here than at alternative American grocery stores. For example, I couldnt find naan at the nearby Harris Teeter and found it here. Paper bags are high quality and I reuse them to store my recyclables.

I do not like this Whole Foods Location. The parking lot is a mess. The layout of the store itself is a disaster. The prices on the store do not match what is wrung up. There is always a line throughout the whole store.

This review is for the birthday sheet cake. Save yourself .1. Their bakery chap who does icing on cake is Picasso. He cant even draw roses properly or write names.2 . Chocolate sheet cake was sorry to say but not good cake, only sugar cream and no chocolate flavour . Cake was tasting pathetic.Please save yourself go to Wegmans and order bday cake they have better flavou, r design for few more $$$.

Nice store with friendly people. The selection is a bit small and they often run out of sale items on the evenings.

This is a really outdated and small whole foods. Has all the basics and excellent produce. Small prepared food area, no cafe. No dining area. Very cramped store.

It’s a good store team member are trying their best to help customers it’s a few items missing but cheese department still my best department

Smallest WF I’ve been too. Go early or at nights otherwise it’s packed like sardines

Great that it is Whole Foods, but it is a small version here. So it can be more limited and a little crowded.

Its a good place to get a lot of reliably good quality WF merchandise. The floorplan makes a lot sense. The store is quite small. The staff can be hit or miss; Ive encountered some rude staff members, especially during the pandemic. Its convenient for me, but Id rather go to Loudoun County for my WF.

So far this is the worst Whole Foods store that I have ever been. I went to this store 3 times, cuz the Whole Foods store in Fairfax is temporary closed.This store always stinks inside. They always have very old salmon and other sea food. This store doesnt have the same inventory as the other Whole Foods stores.Would never go again to this store.If you really love Whole Foods, go to the Fairfax or any other locations, but not the one in Reston.1/10

Organic food and healthy ingredients, prices are higher for it

Great food and naturiste products, however prices still well above average

Whole foods is fine. Everyone already knows what they have their and their great service.This is about the online pick up and isnt reserved for just this particular Whole foods is the system in general. Its a bad system. Every other system has something in place where you can tell whomever is bringing your items what kind of car youre in and your car color and EXACTLY when youre at the store. Some places you can even say which spot youre parked in. This system is so very bad honestly that I stopped doing pick up there even though its so much closer than any other grocery and I prefer shopping there.

Great location with ample parking. Their prepared food section is awesome. Tried their pizza for the first time and it was pretty good.

This is the worst shopping experience - crowded lines to supposedly keep social distancing only bottleneck shoppers and people wanting to check out. No one is maintaining distance. Moreover - I’ve been waiting in line for 20 minutes and it looks like I still have at least 5 minutes to go. This is completely ruining my schedule for the day. I will never shop here again- management needs to figure this out. Mad chaos!!!!

I had to walk away from the Reston store today. It was already crowded but then the woman walking into the store in front of me refused to put on a mask, even after being offered one. She was still allowed to go in. Hopefully she was evicted from the store once inside but I wasnt about to risk going in behind her. I informed 2 employees working outdoors as to why I was leaving. I wanted them to know they dont get my business if they dont follow the safety rules.

Smaller market. Limited offerings compared to the bigger stores. Still fresh produce, good looking meat/seafood department. Frozen foods somewhat limited

I always seem to be disappointed with the cakes and pastries here. They always look great but when you get them home they seem old and stale. Overall I like Whole Foods, I just would like them to adress this.

Superb. But pricey.

Prices are still crazy expensive. Guess you get what you pay for.

Great place for seafood and produce.

I have shopped at the reston Whole Foods for quite some time. Since the selections are limited I will go to Fair Oaks and Vienna. I shopped at reston a couple of days ago. Purchased lasagna dinner with beans and cauliflower. Could not finished. Totally over done and the vegetables were awful. Threw it out. Bought a plastic carton of cookies by the fresh Brad section. Dry and tough. Threw all out. Have purchased strawberries that were moldy in a day.

I judge my whole foods by its pizza quality among other things and this pizza was just not good at all. Ive been to many many WFs over the country and this one is the worst! bland, under cooked, and with unpalatable cheese. had to throw it away. other than that the store is small, bulk foods was nonexistent and so sadly stocked. mrrrp.

Very convenient & quality items found. Service is excellent.

Not too many VEGAN hot meal options. NO military discounts and the staffs werent very friendly. Always too pricey

I was there for the first time yesterday. Bought tenderloin steak from the butcher. I was the only one there. The butcher saw me. He was on his phone. Didn’t bother acknowledging me. Instead, he continued scrolling through his phone, a minute later he stopped and decided to wait on me. Really? Then got myself some bakery items, was given less than a mediocre service, and at the checkout we discovered there was no label to scan. I felt discriminated against and the whole attitude and experience didn’t sit well with me. Serious sensitivity training is a must to the folks who work there.

It is a little pricey but they have a great variety of products.

This is another outpost of Whole Foods Market that I shop at - closer to my current work.The store is conveniently located, just off the Toll Road and near Reston Town Center. Parking is ample though it may be hard to find parking during busy times. There is the office parking building behind the store that is easy to get to also.The store has a smaller footprint similar to older stores but has almost everything a regular shopper may be looking for. They do have a limited selection of Wines and Beer available.The staff is friendly and always ready to help.I do wish they add a coffee station similar to other stores - something more than drip coffee!

One of my favorite Whole Foods! The lunch buffet is unbeatable! Amazing options for lunch, was very easy to go pescatarian for a couple months - good vegan/veggie items, and they have good lunch in general. And of course the groceries are solid, its busy over here but I still like the layout here for the somewhat small size, packs in a lot of quality.

Always clean. One of my favorite grocery stores in the area

This location is small and has limited items but Overall they have a good selection and great service

Co-workers and I routinely walk to this Whole Foods at lunch. Hot bar is a favorite. The guy who operates the street food stand is great. In fact, all of the staff Ive encountered were very friendly.Today they brought our office free breakfast as part of a customer appreciation campaign. The stack of coupons was a nice touch too.

A smaller Whole Foods with less selecitons but it packs a punch in terms of freshness, quality, and friendly service.

Im new here to Reston. Major sticker shock! The prices at this Wholefoods are ridiculous. I purchased something here today that costs 3.00 dollars less at Wegmans even with my Prime Membership.

Its whole foods, you get groceries there.

I found the items I needed. The staff were friendly and helpful when I could not find certain items.

Always a great place, prices are a bit High.

Decent store. Prices are a bit on the high end. They are pushing their own brand so selection is not that great. Not a big fan.

Its a great store with an amazing feel of freshness. The moment you enter the store you see a lot of nicely arranged fresh fruits and vegetables. Moving further, there are all sorts of snacks and other utilities and food stuff. The store is generally not very crowded and is easy to navigate. They have express checkout counters if you were to buy less than 10 items which is quite useful. The staff is cordial and helps you in detail. The store is conveniently located amidst a lot of housing and is near from Plaza America Dr. if you are passing by. Overall a great store.

Well, its a whole foods🤷‍♂️

Nice location and appearance.

Sayara at the costumer service counter had an extreme attitude and when i asked for her name she right away covered her name tag and kept saying she doesn’t have to give me her name.Management please check the cameras on july 25th between 11:30am and 11:40 am

They have many organic products and non toxic products. The best part in the shop is we can get Indian curry and ready to eat rice over there. Very tasty samosa.. Price bit high.. Produces are very fresh and are of wide range.

I go 3 times a week for freshly made chicken shawarma. Best lunch deal hands down. Amazing taste, affordable, great customer service and very fast service

The food bars are always great here (hot bar and salad bar). I go here a lot for work lunches. The cashiers are very friendly and quick.

Busy busy busy. Under construction/remodeling inside so a little hectic.

Good

Came by to grab a couple slices of pizza for lunch since I heard really good things about their carry-out slices. They have a 2 slice/$7 deal which seemed pretty good to me. I ordered a Hawaiian and plain cheese to go.I get back to the office to eat my lunch. The Hawaiian was delicious, fresh, and flavorful. While the plain cheese slice was a little more greasy, the taste was pretty good.........until I had to pull out a short, red hair (clearly not my own) from my mouth after I took a bite. Its safe to say my appetite was gone at that point. So, so gross.Hugely disappointing since the quality of the pizza was great, but theres clearly a disconnect in health and safety practices for their ready-made meals. Will not return.

The location in Ashburn is very bad service specially assistant manager her name is Mary

Bell & Evans chicken. Best price.

I like all organic and good stuff but its always seems overpriced and the items are usually out of stock and limited...the bakery has some one of the best cakes.. the buffet is nice and has lot of varieties... its located in plaza next to cvs

Great quality of food and much better service for a grocery store.

I am a Whole Foods junkie. Love the brand and know when traveling I can always get a safe and nutritious meal. That being said this location needs some help!It seems since the Amazon purchase service and selection has fallen off quite a bit. Employees are not as friendly, the food selection is not as good and the facility is much dirtier than it used to be. The sitting area is quite colder than the store, maybe the manager wants people to not sit and eat in the store.I travel to this area frequently for work and this used to be my favorite store before heading to the airports. I would rather have good nutritious food for the flight than some airport food.I think it is time to move on. I will switch to Wegmans in the future.

So much stuff is bad here! Constantly finding mold or bad food

They have the fresh juice machine. 5 stars for simply this fact. I like their spread at the hot bar too. Other than that you will expect the typical slightly high prices, except for the avocados which are slightly cheaper than other places in the area and of good quality.

Im a fan of Whole Foods and have mostly enjoyed all their branches at different places. I have visited the one in Reston many a times and have found the store to be good with a lot of variety. I have also eaten food here many times and have enjoyed their healthy meals. Although there are a few other Whole Foods which I found to have better menu than this one. This is also not a very spacious store as there are many others having a lot more space. All in all a good place as any other Whole Foods store.

Store is way too small for the needs of the Reston community.

5 employees (and counting) tested positive for covid-19! Lets see how many they can get! :)

Good location well stocked helpful staff

I visited this location on Sunday mid-afternoon to get a few items for Wolf Trap that evening. I think that being bought by Amazon has led to some changes and not good ones. When I walked in the front vestibule, the heat was blasting from overhead and it was 85 degrees outside. There were numerous spots throughout the store where you could feel heat from overhead. I also got a strong seafood smell when walking past the seafood counter. This has NEVER happened before at this location. Being able to smell the seafood is not a good sign. The recipe for the curried chicken salad has changed. All of the items in the deli case looked like they had been there a while because the top of every item was very dried out. Every now and then the items in the deli case need to be stirred to keep them looking fresh. I will reconsider future shopping opportunities at this store.

Much more expensive then it should be. Otherwise it has a lot of choices not available elsewhere.

I would give it 5 stars if it were better priced and owned by anyone else.

This is my absolute favorite store location because of the wonderful employees they have! You are always welcomed, helped and treated so well, it makes it easier to come back!

I found a hard to fine product at this store, Kefir goat milk. The store is clean and employees where busy restocking the shelves half hour before closing. I also loved their cold and hot bar, to pick up something to eat that is nutritious. Cashier was very proficient and I was out door in 8 minutes. Always s great visit.

Its a grocery store. Store is clean and organized, and the food is good. Just make sure you dont let any chicken or fish sit in your refrigerator for more than a few days.

Alejhandra! The best baker chef. She made the cake we ordered look more beautiful than we expected. Superb work! And not to forget, she took the order during the busiest hours of Easter. Cheers to your work. Would love to go here again and again.

This review was earned via the Whole Foods hot bar: the vegan cornbread stuffing, collard greens with braised tomatoes, green beans with garlic, and brussel sprouts was surprisingly impressive.

A little smaller than the whole foods I am used to out West. Regardless, they make good use of the space they have. The home cooked food bar is on par with others and their selection of produce and whole-food goods is sufficient.

I have been a customer of Whole Foods Reston for quite a while, but lately it seems like some of the employees/ cashiers started day light robbery. They charge you for things you did not buy. Actually, the whole system becomes very corrupted lately. Keep your eyes on the items on the screen and study your receipts after the Check out! You will be surprised what you will find out. I used to put Whole Foods Reston in high regards but NOT ANYMORE!

Decent quality produce, but over priced compared to other alternatives in the area. Additionally, in our small handful of trips to this store, the checkout clerk has essentially slammed our produce down on the register after picking it up to see what it was. This left our peaches bruised. This alone is going to keep us from visiting in the future and is part of the reason why self checkout lines are a plus in our eyes.

They still have the best fish and vegetables I can find in my area of Reston.

This is one of the smaller Whole Foods in the area, but I love it none the less. The produce selection is always good and fresh, and the bakery is fantastic. Many of the staff have been there for years and are always friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

If you have done grocery shopping in other places, youll find this place expensive. For example, a bottle of carrot juice from the *same brand and same volume* (emphasizing on volume & brand again) is $7+ here ... while it costs $5+ at Giant Food or other places.

The staff are so calm an collected in this time of C19. And even thoigh you cant eat inside there are tables in the outdoor passage between the two buildings which are protected from rain and sun, though not wind

Great service, fresh food, but they feel crammed and dont have as big of a selection as the Whole Foods in Fairfax. I am hoping they will get to expand now that the store next to them is closing

I am sorry I did not have a very good experience with this wholefoods. The place looks like the low income store Bestway. Not that I dont like best way, but I would not be paying premium price for each item like this store. The place looks dirty,no cart moving space. I was optimistic and took a chance. Ordered a twin pizza. After 40 minutes or so the lady gave me single pepperoni pizza. I ordered a chicken and a veggie pizza. Notable thing was I went through the order with her and wrote my name on both the order sheets. When she gave me the wrong pizza I corrected her then she started making my second pizza. So I had to get wait another 40 minutes. So basically they screwed my evening plan with my kids. Also I feel bad that I waited for her until she finished talking to her colleagues in the beginning that is another 10 mins. Good luck to you folks if you want to this store.

Seemed like all the racists the area are working here. No one could show more holier than thou attitude than the cashier. I asked for some help from one of the stockers and he looked extremely cross for being bothered by a colored guy. People at the bakery were the only helpful people. Any positive stars are only due to the bakery workers.

I typically visit this store once a week in search of specific items. Originally opened as Fresh Fields and later acquired by Whole Foods, this location is not as spacious and doesnt have the variety of goods and services as some of the other nearby Whole Foods stores. Visit Moms and Trader Joe for consistently better deals.

I recently ordered a pie from this location and wasn’t able to receive the pie due situation outside of my control. When i Arrived two representatives (Samantha & Ziomara) assisted me and were extremely helpful and compassionate. They ended up referring me to the manager (Cynthia Washington) who Help me find replacement pies for the large gathering at my house. Not only did Cynthia assist me in finding replacement pies but she donated them as a curtsy of Whole Foods and offered to get the same pie made for my next family gathering.I have lived in reston for over 30yrs and have come to this Whole Foods ever since it was built and this was by far the best customer service experience I have ever had at any grocery store. Cynthia was extremely helpful, very kind and dedicated to making sure these events were catered with the best pies. My family and I are truly grateful for Cynthias acts and Consider her to be extremely valuable to the Whole Foods brand and a new friend of our family. Thank you Whole Foods for bringing cynthia aboard your team.

This is one of the worst whole foods Ive been to. Limited selection. The seafood counter always looks old. The hot bar is always empty and old. Its a real buzzkill.

When we first moved to Reston, my wife and I were exited that there was a Whole Foods near our house. However, this is a HORRIBLE Whole Foods. First of all, the parking lot is a complete mess. The isles are way too narrow. The selection is nowhere as good as other Whole Food stores. I am usually the cynical one. But, this is the first time my wife has ever wanted to leave a grocery store because of the chaos. So, we left and will probably never go back to this location. On a side note, Cocos Food in Sterling has waaaaay more vegetarian options at a way cheaper price. But, it does feel like a step back to a run down 1970s grocery store.

What I love about this whole foods is that its open early at 7:30. Great selection and close to lots of business locations.

The only problem that they dont deliver their pizza, is not on their app lol.

Great place to get produce and pastries.Some things are definitely overpriced and can be obtained for a lower price elsewhere.Lots of organic produce and organic snacks and drinks.Like almost all Whole Foods locations, this one has a large selection of organic dairy options such as organic milk, organic cottage cheese, organic sour cream, organic yogurts including kefir, and organic cheeses.I also like the cheese selection. Lots of options for those who love European cheeses such as French (Brie, Camembert) and Spanish cheeses (Manchego and several sheep/ cow milk cheeses).Excellent customer service.Can get crowded at times.Plenty of free parking.

A quality grocery store. Apart from having a wide variety, the store also has a calming atmosphere - which makes shopping here great. Very friendly owners!

$1.00 Cup of coffee lost you my business. I have never experienced such poor customer service within a whole foods establishment. I arrived around noon to pick up my daily lunch and coffee. After making my purchase, the coffee was not available. They said it would be out shortly. at 12:28 I asked if the coffee would be ready. 12:34 the customer service rep who was at the desk said it would be 3-4 more min, BUT she can take my cup to the back and fill it up. The expectation that Whole Foods has set in the past was that I can do this myself, OR I can watch someone make my food and beverages. I will never return to this Whole Foods. I will start to purchase my coffee from Starbucks across the street.
