Trader Joe's located in Asheville is crazy -- parking lot insane! :)…read more Aside from that, one of the best parts about stopping by this Trader Joe's in North Carolina was finding tons of the coveted mini tote bags! I had to grab several before they disappeared because I know how quickly they sell out in California! Beyond the mini totes, this location has the same shopping experience. The store is clean, well-organized, and easy to browse, and the staff is just as friendly as you'd expect.

I was told, rather sarcastically, that TJ's doesn't carry a product I buy at every Trader Joe's from Florida to Virginia to Louisiana, because it's a "brand name" - only to eventually find it on my own accord. I happened to see her again as our cashier and pointed it out as friendly as I could muster, and got an "oh" in return. Just a reminder, kindness is free.

Nothing out of the ordinary when it comes to a Whole Foods, perhaps a bit on the smaller side, but…read moreotherwise not particularly noteworthy. But it's good. We were going to be driving back home to Michigan later that day so we stopped in to get some snacks for the road trip and our options were ample. Produce is fresh, baked goods looked solid, and we got a few beverages and bottled waters for good measure. Surprisingly not terribly expensive, either, for what we bought. Overall, not a bad option if you live in the neighborhood or are passing through.

SCW and I stopped into this Whole Foods Market while staying nearby. The store is laid out like…read moremost other Whole Foods, veggies and meats etc around the perimeter and canned goods etc in the core. The veggies look fresh and the produce section does have a small salad bar. It's a pretty basic salad bar but the ingredients looked fresh. They do have a nice selection of wines and beer. The employees are kind and helpful, offering assistance in the cheese/deli case. They have some prepared foods as well next to the deli which included some tasty sesame tofu. They only fault I would say here is that the aisles are kind of cramped. There was a bit of other customers there which makes it hard to get around sometimes. However I would certainly be back.

As recently as 6 months ago, I left a very positive review of this store at this location. Today…read more(Friday, May 8, at 12:20 pm) there was 1 (one) cashier-trouble shooter for the front. She also seemed to be stocking near the front. At the same time, all the customers on the self serve machines had trouble with their produce. I was signaled to "enter" produce twice. We all (about five customers) needed "help" not to be overcharged. No one yelled or overreacted. The cashier-helper said, "All right all right, it's not like I am not working my butt off." Then she went to her register. I went ahead and paid for my bananas twice since my time is worth something.

I got a confirmation email, but still called to confirm because the other Publix was not quite ready for me last year. The person who answered, confirmed everything and even walked over to bakery to make sure they were set. When I arrived, everything was prepared and nicely done. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the space was not that busy. The trays look exceptional and everything was packaged well. I think the prices incredibly fair for what you get. All of the guests at my event felt as though it was really quality food, and everyone left happy .

The ordering process is easy and soooo much better than traveling from store to store to find what we want. I'm in love with Mother Earth - it's almost a dream come true. My first indication of trust was seeing that the Hickory Nut gap beef was the same price with them as it is at Ingles. Their prices on a few items may be slightly more than a few places in town - but it's being delivered straight to my door. The selection is fantastic and the baskets are totally customizable. I hope this service lasts forever!!!!

I typically prefer local businesses especially in Asheville to chains, but this one gets a pass…read morebecause it's quite good. I've purchased many rubs, salts, spices, and sugars from them over the years and all of them have been amazing. I especially like their smoked salts. I like to bake giant chocolate chip cookies and sprinkle them with the smoked salt crystals to give them an extra layer of flavoring. You can taste anything you want such as the salts or sugars or rubs, just ask one of the associates to help you. You can smell anything you like yourself by just opening the jars and taking a nice whiff. Many items come in bags and some come in shakers. If you get something coarse you can ask for a grinder top that goes on your shaker for when you want smaller particles. I love the butchers blend general purpose seasoning for many things. My kids love the cinnamon sugar shaker with a grinder top....the put it on everything and we frequently run out. In addition to salts, spices, and sugars they have a huge tea selection. And before you scoff at the prices, just remember it takes just a tiny amount of these high quality loose leaf teas to make a cup of tea. Teas that you buy in the store are not fresh and are harvested too early, commercialized, and it requires a lot more to get the flavor you want. So these tiny bags of tea really do last a long time. I like to look up ancient tea and herbal blends online and then buy all the components here and make my own teas to try and then adjust the recipes to my liking. They often have some free samples of tea and other items to try hot or cold in the store, just ask. For me this is a store I always stop at when visiting Asheville.

They will make your own custom garden packages for those of us that like to garden but don't have a proper greenhouse to get our plants really strong in the spring because of that late frost! They also have a cute little store you can get ice cream and other treats in. As well as lots of games and activities!!
