The hot food bar and cookie bar here is also a disappointment, always tastes old and stale Although this is the nearest Whole Foods near me, I will gladly make the drive down to any other location instead.

I had them make the smoothie without collagen as that is a beef product. It literally took 21 minutes on a Wednesday. It was ok, a little sweet with the stevia. I asked how many calories and they wouldn't tell me. Only that it's meant as a "meal replacement " and is between 500-1200 calories. Oof! I'll stick with the healthy superfruit smoothie from Toastique. The salad was good with the figs standing out and the sandwich was delicious. Lots of avocados. Ambiance: everyone is there for the prepared foods and smoothies. The grocery aisles were fairly empty. There's a few bar stools by the entrance so we ate there but most take to go.

The produce manager RICARDO was fantastic. He gave me samples of some new produce they had and introduced me to watermelon plums -- I think it's a new variation? Whatever it was, they were fantastic and I never would've tried them by myself so I was so glad Ricardo introduced me to them. I immediately bought a pack because they were so good. Long story short everything I wanted from this experience I got. I really love fruits and vegetables so having a manager help with that process and introduce me to new types of produce was great and honestly a nice touch-- it reminded me of a local market feel as opposed to a superstore chain. I'll definitely be back for my produce every week!

Seriously, if you haven't tried that combination yet, I had to put you on. What makes Simply Wholesome special to me though is that it feels like so much more than just a restaurant.

Well, my family and I just moved into the neighborhood, so I finally got the chance to check it out. I honestly felt like a tourist walking around.

I took my time walking down every aisle just to see everything they had. The prices were a little higher than what I've seen elsewhere, but they definitely carry a great selection. My husband and I tried the jerk chicken patty and the shrimp & crab patty. Both were really good, but the jerk chicken patty was my favorite. I also ordered the Austin Martin smoothie, and it did not disappoint. Now that we live in the neighborhood, I know I'll be back often to try more things on the menu.

It is what is! and so so good!

I was there as a haircare product demonstrator to give out samples and take a count of some of the products there. They refused to give me a table. My product was close to the bottom shelf, which I counted, dusted, and then typed up a report on my phone for my business. They kindly reported me to my company for texting on my phone and sitting in the aisle. What, they expected me to kneel or lay on the floor? There were almost no customers, so you would think they had their own restocking to do instead of monitoring what I was doing. Plus it was super-dusty. I guess those bishes didn't dust? What absolute bishes. Maybe it was because smartphones were newish in 2011? I had just been at Erewhons and they were all supernice to me there. The contrast was glaring. While this was in 2011, it left a very bad taste in my mouth, so I can't support their business when they treat visitors so poorly. I probably should have immediately complained to management. So here I am complaining to Yelp 15 years later. But seriously, anywhere I go as a demonstrator, I am also a potential customer for lunch, groceries, or whatnot. So I guess it's Erewhons and Whole Foods for me.

I spend over $10,000 on supplements, and really love the effective ones. But this GNC has a poor selection, store representatives uninformed on recent trends and major brands. I avoid the GNC brand - here's why: When I used GNC products over the years, I often became sick. I'm sure it was just a coincidence; it couldn't have been the drug-spiked poison that they apparently added to their own products. I often would purchase Twin Labs supplements from GNC, but they were always overpriced. I now pledge to never visit a GNC store again. If I want to be poisoned, I'll drink the stuff under my sink. Yes, I think the brand is dead; at least it is in my household. read more
