I love my local PCC. As a Columbia City resident, I probably shop here at least three times a week…read more It's not cheap, but the quality is often worth the premium. With that said, I've noticed several cost cutting changes over the years that I'm not thrilled about. The meat department used to have a traditional butcher counter, which made it easy to get the exact amount of black forest bacon I needed. This is now gone and replaced with pre-packaged cuts. Bulk bacon is no longer offered, and shopping for meat now creates more plastic waste. Recently, the deli counter was replaced with pre-portioned servings. This move might make sense but is not a great sign of for the future of this store. I'm glad the sandwiches have been spared, especially since I eat those pretty frequently. Lastly, the pizza situation is lacking. Maybe something's up with the heat lamps, but slices tend to dry out and are incredibly unappetizing. The only way you'll get a good piece is if it just came out of the oven. This is not an issue at other PCCs, where the pizza is in good shape throughout. Overall, still love shopping here but I hope my PCC's best days are ahead.

The hot bar food is worse than the Bellevue location and tastes like reheated food. A lot of the former, friendly staff members are gone. If you're a member, they periodically reduce their dividends or don't pay out at all.

The only good thing left is that the produce is still fresh.

I'm going to start this by saying, I really hate giving out negative reviews. I also waited to…read morewrite this review until I gave Rainbow Natural Remedies a few more chances. But unfortunately, today's visit will be my last. I came into the store with a general idea of what I wanted to purchase. There were 3 employees working and only one other customer in store. I didn't receive a greeting, any acknowledgment, or even a smile - nothing. I felt like my presence was a nuisance. Their selection of products is vast and impressive (+1 star), but overwhelming if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. I would be more knowledgeable of what to buy if staff would be helpful and open to questions. I walked up to someone stocking a shelf with products in my hands, said "excuse me?" to ask for help, and the person just scooted away without looking at me. Yeah, no. After walking a lap around the store trying to get anyone's attention, I waited near the register with products hoping they would at least try to cash me out. Nothing again. I waited 3-5 minutes without anyone coming to help or even a "I'll be right with you" although there were workers on the floor. I just put my products away and left. I can't support an establishment that prides itself on high vibes and wellness but makes their customers feel like sh!t. Today's experience has been consistent with the past 2-3 other times I've been in and I won't be returning.

This Whole Foods location is full-size, with a full bakery, hot bar, and grocery selection. Having this place nearby made it a great home base for water, a snack, and delicious treats in a pinch. We enjoyed some hot bar items (delicious), some bakery items (scrumptious), and of course, grabbed hotel essentials for our stay, like water bottles and snacks. I didn't have much interaction with staff here, so can't speak on the service. There are lots of self-checkouts available. I'd say we ended up in this Whole Foods about 3-4 times in our 5-day stay. It was clean, organized, dependable, and for a Whole Foods in Seattle, reasonably priced.

We almost never have this issue when buying directly from farmers' markets, so I'm convinced there's something wrong with how they store and handle their produce. Other reviews mention the same thing. They also replaced locally grown cilantro with cilantro grown in Mexico, without any note or explanation. Getting fresh, locally sourced food is literally the only reason we order from them. We had an order that was supposed to be delivered on Thanksgiving morning (that's what it said on their newsletter), but it arrived on Friday instead. When we contacted customer service, they gave defensive response that three minutes after we placed the order, the system updated to the "correct" delivery date, even though their newsletter said they don't deliver on that date. The response didn't actually address the lack of clarity about the delivery date. They even once included a slip of paper with someone else's name, phone number, and address. We're done with this place.

Worst Whole Foods experience ever…read more I came here at 5 PM on a Tuesday expecting to find plenty of hot food and a good variety of ready-to-eat options. Instead, more than half of the food bar was completely empty. I was already hungry, but honestly, I turned hangry after seeing how little food was available. What made it even more disappointing was that when I asked a staff member about it, I was told that they weren't making any more food for the day. At 5 PM, I would expect the food bar to be stocked, especially during dinner hours. The selection was extremely limited and the overall experience was very disappointing. This was by far the worst Whole Foods experience I've ever had. Is this location planning to close permanently soon? Because the condition of the food bar certainly made it feel that way.

The public can be the judge of that UPDATE: I got a very rude response on my FB review AND I was blocked from the page. "Regina" apparently believes I was unkind and that justifies the way I was treated. Maybe she should take a course in compassion and learn to bit her tongue before she says rude things like: "sucks you were inconvenienced" and called me "callous and cold". Mind you at no point in our conversation did she say they're handling personal emergency, just that things were taking a pause behind the scenes. Clearly she believes she is right for standing me up despite my attempts to come in DURING THE HOURS SHE PROVIDED.. Stupid is as stupid does I guess Original review: Went to the store during business hours and it was closed. Confused I sent a kind message via Instagram so clarify when they will be open next. We chatted back and forth and they told me on Wed July 30th they'd have limited hours from 2-6p. I told them what time I'd be coming AND I called which it went straight to voicemail. So I came and they stood me up! When I reached out clearly upset, they responded rudely and were condescending. Zero accountability. Zero apology. Zero compassion for wasting my time. Apparently the owner is dealing with personal things and I send my condolences to them. Yet whomever I spoke to seemed as if that means they can treat me however they want? I just got OUT of the hospital LAST WEEK and was hoping to utilize herbal medicine to help with what I've been going through but they decided to be rude. Clearly they don't care about following their own adjusted hours. Don't go here unless you want to be stood up and spoken to like garbage. Also I take accountability for my frustrations. However I give what I am given and if you are going to waste my time and stand me up after we agreed on a set time, then shame on you and again DO BETTER.
