    I had an appointment at the Duke Cancer Center. After my appointment, I took some time to wander around the building (beautiful building) and see what there was to see. I was hungry and found this café on the main level. I ordered a Santa Fe chicken quesadilla. This is a popular location with the staff, but patients are welcome, too. I didn't order a smoothie but will have to do that next time. They look amazing. They call out your order when it is ready and hand it to you. You take it to a table or leave and eat elsewhere. I sat at a table where I could look outside through the big windows and see people walking around enjoying the day. My quesadilla was good. The second bite had a chunk of gristle or something and I had to spit it out - hence only four stars - but the rest of the quesadilla was great - no more unpleasant surprises. It was hot, fresh, lots of gooey cheese, and crisp on the outside - just the way a quesadilla should be. I forgot to take a pic of my quesadilla so I took pics of the menu.

    Good for a quick lunch. Can be pricey. Made fresh to order. Nice small style place with seating indoor and outdoor. Service was good.

    One of my favorite places to grab a smoothie. The real star is the food! The wraps and dilias are outstanding!

    Not allowed to go in unless you have an appointment at the cancer center- medical/professional students can't use.

    I've shopped at this Whole Foods for years, but my recent experience completely changed how I view…read morethis location. Be extremely careful parking here. The towing situation in this lot feels predatory, and Whole Foods appears to have little to no control over it. I parked with the full intention of shopping, briefly stepped away with my dog, and returned within about 35-40 minutes--only to find my car had been towed. Staff couldn't even tell me where my vehicle was, and the on-site security was no help and seemed unaware of what was going on. Because Whole Foods doesn't allow dogs inside, I had no choice but to remain outside while trying to figure out what happened. I was left stranded, with my wallet inside my car, and had to pay for an Uber and $230 in towing fees--meaning I had to prioritize retrieving my car instead of buying groceries. What's most frustrating is that Whole Foods positions itself as a premium, customer-focused store, yet the parking situation does not reflect that at all. There is a clear lack of coordination between the store, security, and whoever is enforcing towing in the lot. This experience was stressful, avoidable, and completely unacceptable. It felt less like customer support and more like a system that allows predatory practices to happen right outside the store. Please be mindful where you park; be sure to travel with soenone! I would never want someone else to go through this--especially someone alone in that situation.

    What I recommend: The chocolate cake and the berries chantilly cake…read more After Harris Teeter completely messed up our cake order for a veterans dinner, we went to the Whole Foods bakery last minute hoping for help. The staff was amazing and prepared six beautiful cakes in under an hour. Both the chocolate cake and the berries chantilly cake were incredible, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly decorated. The service was outstanding and the cakes were a huge hit at the event. Whole Foods truly saved the day, and I can't thank their bakery team enough. If you ever need a cake that looks and tastes great, even on short notice, this is the place to go.
