World Foods doesn't carry the ginormous container of pitted Kalama olives that the mothership Barbur Whole Foods does. But they do have excellent customer service and and will transfer a jug from Barbur to Whole Foods for me. They also sell Arz labne which I can't find anywhere else convenient in Portland. Certainly not at a conventional grocery store. They also sell all kinds of other international groceries like giant jars if dolmas, lavash, the best chocolate bars. I could go on and on. Walking the aisles makes me feel like I'm in a different country and it's fun. There's not much in the way of parking. Most people in the Pearl probably walk there. I know I do. I do know that if you want a grocery adventure check out World Foods. 2026 - Review # 6

Enjoyed this little market down from my hotel. Grabbed provisions for the road. They had some…read moreinteresting items & carry a large selection of local wine.

Came here on a Monday night around 11pm. I guess it's a bit of a staple of the community? At least…read morethat's what the front desk staff at my hotel around the corner told me. It was pretty slow. About 2-3 people in it. It's a small store. You are paying for convenience (prices are a bit higher) because most other stores in the immediate area by foot are closed by this time / there's not a ton of competition. It's not the cleanest of stores and if you get anything that is not prepackaged, good luck to your gut because it doesn't scream the cleanest place ever. I got a few things - gatorade, candy, chips and it came out to 20 bucks. Staff is okay. Felt like they were staring me down. When I got to the registered they greeted me which is the bare minimum but felt like it was the best I was going to get. So I'll give them a half a star for that. Place is organized a bit weird. I could find items in the most random of places. Best to come here if you want one or two items.

Not the best selection, but we were able to find a few tasty wines. A little pricey, but there…read morearen't a lot of nearby shops.

The interior was pristine, the parking was straightforward, the staff were friendly, and the beer selection had multiple different types of West Coast Pilsner (my favorite style of beer, and one that is tricky to find) I came in here to pickup an Amazon delivery, and came away pretty impressed!

This location is new and modern and there were plenty of cashiers and self check out options available. Was in and out quickly and everything I bought met my expectations for Whole Foods quality and price.

There's so many photos of this place, you get the idea…read more A great addition to the neighborhood, and a destination if not close. Their wine bar is fantastic, and good-priced, and it was fun to watch the last of the World Cup here today. If you're looking for something special or hard to find, this is the place, much like the old Pastaworks was on Hawthorne. They really shine on their produce, pasta and fresh meats here, and there's always something new, but I love that you can count on the bakery for your focaccia and other fresh breads. Cheese case is like Rue Cler, Paris--so much selection and they will tell you about each one of them. Don't be afraid to just ask a lot of questions. I wish that they did some little items in the bakery, one of my fondest memories from childhood was going to Pastaworks with my dad and getting a breadstick, probably eating it before we even paid (we did), as we strolled around, and where's the peanut sauce for pasta, another favorite of the old days, yup, I'm old. Can't say enough good things about this place, it can add up though as others have mentioned, but, if you keep to a list or just slow the roll on the impulse buy, it's actually reasonable and you know you're getting what you're paying for. I've never regretted a purchase here or thought it unfair. I mean, it says Fine Foods right there in the name...:) Thank you for the amazing ingredients for dinner tonight, cheers!

I have gotten sick from their seafood twice (they are always happy to give a refund, but somehow…read morethis seems inadequate after two nights of aching nausea). I recently suggested a friend get some grab and go there because she was in the area and only had a few minutes. She said she would not be doing that because she had gotten sick off their prepared food a few times (she did not mention seafood). Recently I bought some chocolate and it was nearly expired, had bloom, and did not have a good texture. While this is not a risk to my health, it's annoying! this place is so expensive and they can't seem to turn over food quickly enough to keep it fresh. The customer service is totally fine.

Positive: Wide selection, decent prices, fairly quick checkout times…read more Security is doing a really great job considering the location. Negative: Attracts groups of Tweekers and Fent addicts which are a 24/7 constant outside the store. Also: You can't tell the Staff from the Customers. Nobody wears a uniform.

I spent several minutes waiting near the register for her to even acknowledge me while she giggled and gossiped with them. Finally, she asked me how I was doing, I responded 'oh I'm fine,' and she clearly wasn't listening to me (going back to talking to her other co workers on the next register) because she asked me yet AGAIN how I was doing in a more ruder tone. The bagger was also side tracked by the other co workers and didn't help me bag at all. Maybe split them apart next time. Annoying as hell.

A place where cauliflower masquerades as pizza crust, peanut butter cups are basically currency, and somehow, inexplicably, 3-5 dark chocolate hazelnut bars end up in my cart every single time. What I love: --Avocados that are just the right level of ripe, like some sort of mystical fruit sorcery. Seriously, how does Joe pull this off, time after time? --Cheese aisle nirvana--who knew you needed blueberry goat cheese? Trader Joe's knew. --Unexpectedly fancy frozen meals that make you feel like a world traveler in sweatpants. --$5 flowers that trick your house into looking like you have your life together. Red flags I should heed: --I pop in for "just one thing" and leave with an armful of mystery snacks and three kinds of hummus. --I become emotionally attached to a seasonal item, and then--poof!--it vanishes until next year. I'm looking at you, Lemon Pesto! --Parking lot chaos. Every Trader Joe's lot is a gladiator-style tournament where only the boldest survive. Seriously, the parking pissing me off. Get it together, Joe. Still, it's a magical land of snacks, surprises, and affordable gourmet delights. I would get lost in your aisles again and again, Joe. Oh, yeah--service is impeccable, and it's always spotless and well-stocked.
