I have to take time to GLOAT about the amazing service I received with Oscar behind the meat/seafood counter. Please allow me to take a moment to paint you a picture. 3.5 hours before a dinner party thinking I'm just gonna grab some 12for12$ oysters cause it's Friday. Call in hey what's the prep advance time you need. Nah I got you right now. Perfect Go in and this dude took time probably 10 mins minimum to talk me through perfect accompaniments and how to actually achieve this dinner I wanted. I don't normally eat pork took time to explain this different cuts his recommendations for this salmon and charcuterie plate I was doing. When I say I couldn't have prayed for better help that day without knowing Oscar existed that's a understatement Plus in general this store is fantastically friendly Prepped food counter always takes time and is nice about getting family meals set up even when they're slammed I've spent time at the cheese counter asking the local expert for her recommendations on what each one would go great with. The prime deals they host are normally as good price wise as Costco but then you get organic and some other good extra labels slapped on it. 10/10 12/10 staff 15/10 Oscar and glad I get to live so close by. read more

a day ago New The 1 Star is NOT for the store which is clean and well stocked or for my usual experiences there (I shop there 2 - 4 times a week). The "minus 4" is for the pickup. As an item I wanted was not in store, I ordered for pickup. First time I have ever done so. I was not sure where to go, what to do etc so I approched the associate who seemed to be handling that area. I saw he was busy so I politely apologized for bothering him and explained I was pretty much clueless on where to go, what to do etc. He told me to check in. I asked him where to do so and he told me to do it the same way I ordered. I ordered on Amazon so tried to open it. Well that store has horrible internet so it took a minute but the only option was curbside vs in store. I again apologized and explained. He told me he wasn't familiar with the app and turned away. I just stood there. Another woman arrived and seemed to be helping out but when I tried to ask her for help, she rather abruptly told me they were busy and other people were waiting. I would not have flinched if she, in a semi polite manner would have simply said something like, "we have quite a few orders but if you don't mind waiting a moment, we will help you." Instead I felt awkward and embarrassed. She did find my order which was handed to me in an efficient but not warm and friendly way and that was it. Both employees seemed irritated that I did not know the "lay of the land" I get the store was busy. They seemed to be short staffed. The woman said they were having technical issues which I totally get and I am sure they were both tired and frustrated. I've been there. But I left feeling ashamed for putting the employees out. Whole Foods - your Oxnard internet is awful so looking for instructions in an email or app is often fruitless. Maybe some clear signage like you have at the Amazon self serve? A simply thing like that would go a long way. I won't try online pickup again. If am item I want is unavailable I will skip it there and purchase it somewhere else. On the upside, Angel, one of your male employees, is always SUPER nice and very helpful. Ditto for the employees at the seafood station. This is the only poor experience I have had. read more

What a nice Whole Foods Store in Oxnard. We stopped in for some produce, yogurt, plant based protein, and assorted items. The store is clean, well stocked and the staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommended read more

Service is clearly not a priority at this Whole Foods. The meat department was completely abandoned, with customers left standing around hoping someone might eventually decide to help. Another customer called out at least five times before an employee finally appeared. Even after seeing us waiting, he couldn't be bothered to acknowledge us. He simply turned around and went back into the rear area. Maybe he was busy, but it takes virtually no effort to say, "I'll be right with you." Instead, when my wife called out to him, he rudely snapped, "I'll be right there." This was lazy, dismissive and completely unacceptable customer service. If dealing with customers is such an inconvenience, perhaps it's time to find a job that doesn't involve customer service. Whole Foods charges premium prices, yet apparently basic courtesy is too much to ask. read more

Whole Foods Market - Rude "Employee" - Grocery Near Me - Oxnard, California

Customer service is an absolute no for me every single employee I have encountered at the cafe I've had a horrible experience with. Except a younger man with large ear piercings he was nice. The rest have always had an attitude they act like they don't want to be there and it's our fault. Since I've experienced this multiple times with multiple employees this will probably not be resolved hoping a team of management sees this hopefully will bring change. This drink is not worth the attitudes I've received. You can clearly see the employee there he has his back to the customers look at this line ... this isn't the first time either. Drinks are always inconsistent too. read more

They don't call it Whole Paycheck for nothing! But you know what, when you need it, they have it. All the "niche" oils, seasonings, and other rarities that will top off your next dinner party. The bakery and deli are the best part of the store. Staff is friendly and helpful. Produce department always have fresh items and locally sourced produce, which is greatly appreciated. Stop by the in-store beer trailer for a cold one before or after your shopping experience. Be sure to pick up the "Cowboy Burgers" for your next camping or BBQ experience. Simply amazing! Cheers, everyone! read more

The store well kept and clean...i gave one star because some of the workers at the drink making area are not friendly and just seen like they hate their job...especially one young girl...we already knew she was not having a good day because as soon as we get in we heard her and coworker already having some issues...so while waiting for my cousin drinks the same girl gave us dirty looks even after we tried to be friendly and say hello...seriously if you dont like tour job work at mcdonalds or some other place that doesnt have customer service..been to a few whole foods and always their standard for customer service is high...but this whole foods sucks...i hope they fix it because i will let people know to go somewhere else that treat customers so much better..do a better job whole foods...i wish i got the girls name...but customers will know who it is because she really has a bad attitude...thanks for ruining our day!! Food and drinks good but customer service sucks read more

The meat department is fantastic. Always a great selection and the staff is very helpful. Highly recommend.

GETTING HERE: Located at The Collection at Riverpark in Oxnard. You can see it from the 101 and it's not hard to miss at all. :-) REVIEW: I can't believe I have not yet reviewed Whole Foods! I really love that this store is so close - and I love the different varieties of foods and items they carry. I usually seem to only make my way here when I have an Amazon return - which is unbelievably helpful BTW! But lately I've been a more specific in planning my trips and can (and do!) spend hours walking the aisles here. Such treasures await. They have huge varieties of so many things! Chips, drinks, natural health items, I could go on and on. Service is always a good time! I'm a regular with their sushi and I always have to get bakery snacks to hold me to my next trip. Whole Foods is a whole win for me. Thanks! read more

Stopped by for a smoothie today. The smoothie was actually pretty good. But, customer service as usual at this Whole Foods was deplorable. Totally unfriendly woman could barely bring herself to even take my order. Extremely robotic. Why isn't there a manager present to teach staff good customer service??? Contrast this with Trader Joe's where the staff are alway friendly and pleasant. Whole Foods really sucks in comparison!!! Very disappointing read more

Love this location. It's huge! Most staff have been there since they opened. Lots of great grab and go options. Tacos, sandwiches, pizza, sushi, deli counter, smoothie, coffee huge salad bars... The best produce I've found in town. Desserts are the best! Staff can be ... hit and miss with attitudes. Bathrooms are clean. Inventory is good. Curbside is quick and good selections. Love this store read more

Oddly enough, Whole Foods remains one of the few places where you can still score a decent meal for ten bucks. Yes, really. While the internet jesters love their punchlines--"Whole Paycheck," "Arm & Leg Foods"--not everything comes with a gold-plated price tag. Sure, the soap costs as much as a cocktail at a rooftop bar, and supplements like sea moss and glutathione flirt with the absurd, but you can't fault them for peddling the good stuff. Sometimes, the premium is worth it--for a sense of quality, for a moment of health-conscious indulgence, or simply for the feeling that you're treating your body like it's worth more than the drive-thru. These days, a trip to Whole Foods isn't just grocery shopping--it's part ritual, part treasure hunt. I always start with the Four Sigmatic mushroom coffee. It's the only coffee alternative I've found that actually tastes like the real thing and delivers the stimulation without the crash. Total game-changer. Then it's on to the wellness aisle for my Sea Moss fix--specifically the liposomal blend with Spirulina and Chlorella. I used to buy the gel version elsewhere--$34 a jar, and it barely lasted two weeks. Now? I'm saving money, getting better shelf life, and not compromising on quality. The yogurt section is solid--Noosa for something creamy and indulgent, Siggi's when I'm feeling more restrained. There's a thoughtful selection of low-sugar options that actually taste like food and not penance. Same with the bread: Killer Mike's for the protein-packed punch, Ezekiel for that sprouted, wholesome vibe. And don't even get me started on the pre-mades. The burrito bowl? That's the move. My go-to. Though, every now and then I mix it up with one of their soups--depends on the mood, the week, maybe the weather. Whole Foods might catch flak for its price tags, but when you're shopping smart, it's not just about spending--it's about choosing better. read more

Went to the Airstream bar. Good selection of beers. Something for everyone. Chill spot to hang out in and grab a bite to eat from the food areas. read more

I've been going to Whole Foods since it opened. I remember coming here often for pizza and sweets when they it opened at the collection. Now I come here for groceries every now and then. Some items are reasonably priced believe it or not. For example, I would pay more for a salmon family meal, rotisserie chicken, fruits, and bread at Sprouts. I love the prepared food section and the variety of local wine, liquor, and beers. It's always fun to make a trip here occasionally. There pricing has become more competitive over the years. They have Amazon Prime return and pick-up services. There's assistance available in a small section near the entrance near the parking lot. There is a kiosk option for returns as well. read more

Worst cashier ever. I went there for one thing but wound up getting a dozen things. Normally the cashier asks for my phone number but he made using my amazon discount very difficult. Filled the bag so heavy, the handle broke. And then I got all the way home to find that he didn't put the one item I went for. However he did charge me for it. read more

So usually the food is good, especially the hot food bar. They used to do breakfast but now they do something called a breakfast pie. Don't buy that. It's awful! I think they charge $4.99 but the barcode got steamed off so it only charged me $3 and I didn't bother with the receipt but totally inedible. It's a square block of overdone eggs scrambled with little dots. They call bacon and the pie crust part is just completely inedible. They do better to just take the block and put it in a foil but undercook it so that when it sits in the steamer it isn't inedible. By the way, keep you received. Then you could get a gift card or your refund without it not so much online read more

I am reviewing Whole Foods after it became an Amazon led company. Before there was that 'whole' joke about "Whole Paycheck" I used to think that alternative groceries started at Trader Joes for affordable organics, then Sprouts for mid level alternative healthier brands, and then at the higher end Whole Foods, Gelsons, Bristol Farms (Erewhon is its own planet of inflated prices!) etc. BUT now after Amazon came in, there are so many rotating Prime member sales, so now Whole Foods is generally lower priced than Sprouts. Sometimes their retail prices (esp. on Health Beauty section) are lower than Sprouts retail, which can be pretty high. I know the store now may feel too Amazon and less like the indie community oriented Whole Foods vibe from before. I'm sure employees from way back are not as happy working here as Whole Foods used to be a Top 50 places to work for company. But as an average consumer who does not need to frequent bougie or niche upscale grocery, Whole Foods suits me decently well. I've also been checking out their 50% off (close to expiration) prepared foods or Bakery finding some pretty nice deals. They also have weekly specials for Prime members on Tue. and Fri. This Oxnard location is pretty easy to shop, with nice wider aisles. Their shelves are super tall, which is inconvenient for us shorter shoppers. I think some of this is unsafe stocking shelves so high up, but generally the store is clean and accessible. read more

I don't know why I bother going to this place with multiple bad experiences. I guess due to convenience because it's walking distance from me. This morning I went to purchase pastries multiple mini pastries for a colleagues birthday ( which I've done two maybe 3 times in the past with no issue). There's 14 of us in office so I usually get a variety of things. As I was ordering the man felt the need to lecture me and notified me that I could place a special order because they like to keep their case filled and looking nice. He probably didn't mean for it to come off the way he did but it totally came off like a lecture. Even seemed a tad bit annoyed. Don't they want us to buy what's in the store? It was just very odd to me. I told my colleagues about it and they said I should've just walked away and went to somewhere else. They are right. Why did I even go through with the purchase. read more

The food offerings here are great but the people who work here tend to be unhelpful. The exception is the guy in the dining area and the Barista. They are fantastic and do a good job.​ read more

This whole foods had a lot to offer, including a full bar inside that you can take a break from shopping and sip and ipa at. They also had the smoothie bar as well as the whole bakery and deli section in most of their grocery stores. I was looking for dinner in here with my sis as we were leaving the collection so we didn't have to stop anywhere else to grab food. They had everything I wanted and then some. We stood in line to checkout and we were in and out pretty quickly. read more

When I came in for my visit, I received the best service! I absolutely love shopping here the store is super clean, and the staff is amazing. Chelsea, Viviana, and Olivia always have the biggest smiles and go above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. I love coming here for my juices and treats from the bakery! read more

This is one of the better Whole Foods I've been to and they definitely deserve an overall 5 stars. This location is my go to Whole Foods and they don't disappoint. I feel that their items are always well stocked in comparison to the other nearest WFM. When I create my grocery list I find that they always have what I'm looking for and aren't sold out of most items which can be an issue elsewhere. The store is clean and easy to navigate. The quality is there from the produce section, to the meat counter, and hot food bar. I don't mind paying a little bit extra for good quality items and groceries. The staff are also friendly and helpful here. Anytime I've asked someone to help me locate an item they've always stopped what they are doing and have assisted me. Nice people work here. I'll keep giving this location my business, even though there is another WFM closer to me this location always meets my expectations. read more

Stopped by for an açaí bowl. The Amazon is my fave! It was packed with fruit but too soupy. I love the prepped food at Whole Foods. We get bdays cakes here though they been tasty a little different lately. Not sure if they changed vendors. Dulce had the best customer service despite having a line and not having an help. There were two ladies at the bakery labeling while she was by herself taking ordered and prepping the food. I think Whole Foods still doesn't have staff scheduling right. It's unfortunate because I was tell myself don't go back .. wait a few months and then do. I just love the Açaí bowls. They use the Sambazo brand of açaí which I love. The food area looked cleaned and it was pretty busy today. It is Saturday, so I guess everyone is grocery shopping! Traffic was dead awful. They was a security guard directly traffic but this is a given at The Collection on the weekends. It's a popular place for Oxnard and visitors coming to our city. This place has a lot of potential! read more

This is a place in which I have to be incredibly careful because I love it so much. I have to go in with moderate hunger at most, a plan, and list in mind. Otherwise, my wallet will have a significant dent in it. I adore their cold salad bar for lunch where I get to stock up on healthy fibrous fresh leafy greens, celery, carrots, tomatoes, onions, raw nuts and seeds, and avocado dressing. Their chicken and lentil soups are pretty tasty too! When I top this all off with Hop H20 (water) or cold brew, it is like visiting Heaven on Earth! read more

I've been coming here since it opened in 2012 and continue to be a satisfied customer. My favorite part is the Rincon bar inside with the cute airstream decor. It's always a fun time over a nosh or a full meal and a beer. The beer selection at the bar is good. I recently was in and they had local faves like Tarantula Hill and Stone on tap. The beer aisle is also worth a gander. I recently picked up Pliny and some Mikkeller there are fair prices. I can often find Dogfish here too. The bakery and deli area are my go to-s. The baked goods are delicious. There isn't a thing I haven't liked. They offer McConnell's ice cream on a cone or in a cup, freshly made pizza and made to order sandwiches. All worth a stop in. Be sure to use your Amazon Prime for deals. Delivery is available if you prefer. See website for hours, location, and more. read more

Whole Foods Market - Chocolate Peanut Buttery Smoothie - Grocery Near Me - Oxnard, California

This Whole Foods Market can be found at The Collection outdoor shopping plaza. My husband and I decided to make a stop here after driving home from Central California. We figured we could take a break from all the traffic and maybe even grab something for dinner. We ended up choosing the $14 entree and 2 sides deal. We ended up choosing: Sweet chili salmon, Pesto potato, Golden beet salad- My husband picked this. The salmon he had was pretty tasty and cooked just fine. The piece of salmon was rather small though, but I was expecting that for the price point. I liked the pesto potato but my husband thought it was unexpected to taste clove and/ or anise in the potato, which he didn't really like. I liked the golden beet salad and thought it was fresh. Bay shrimp salad, Orzo pasta salad, Broccoli salad- I opted for the shrimp salad. Because it was so creamy, I thought it would go well with either crackers or in a sandwich. The orzo pasta was nice and I really liked the broccoli salad (one of my usually picks when I am at Whole Foods). -------------------------- (Total= $28, no tax) We waited at the deli counter for close to 10 minutes for someone to help us. One staff member did acknowledge us and told us that he will help us after he helps the customer he was currently helping. This was yesterday, a little before 6 pm. After we got our meals, we headed to the front of the store and paid through the self check out. Then we just sat at a small table and ate our meal. I was surprised that this location has such a small dining area. Most of the other Whole Food Markets that we have been to usually has more seating available. Portion for both our meals is pretty reasonable and perfect to feed one person. I think the price is fair for the choices offered. This store in general was clean upon our visit. The restrooms are in the back, right by the seafood section. Employees we interacted with were friendly. read more

This is a really great Whole Foods - layout, staff, selection, price. However dinging 1 star because I will never buy fresh meat/seafood here again. Service behind the meat counter is not good and purchased fish way past prime. I don't trust the turnover or quality of the seafood and meat counter here. The rest of the store I find excellent and to me has the best price to quality ratio and selection in Ventura County. read more

The sushi here is good! I got the big salmon & tuna from the case and had them make me a tuna & avocado roll. It's the perfect summer meal. read more

Fresh food drinks always. Great customer service. Love love love coffee or juices. Cake spot always on point.

I've been to many Whole Foods and this one is just... well... different. I had a bad experience here that was completely unnecessary. I have an autoimmune disorder in which I go through flares, making it difficult to stand for long periods of time (it can cause me to pass out). I thought I could make it through a 20 minute shopping trip as it was early and the store didn't seem too busy. I got my things, proceeded to the register. The employee is ringing someone up and joking around with a coworker, then sees me and says "I'm closed!" after I had already been standing there for a few minutes. I ask her to please ring me up, that I can't stand for too much longer. She points to the other line which now has 5 people with carts full of items. I ask her again and briefly explain my situation; she snaps back "we're doing the best we can!" I get in the other line and I'm getting dizzier, on the verge of just having to abandon my basket. I see the same employee open ANOTHER register and grab someone out of line to check out! I was in absolute disbelief. I literally had 5 things and I had just explained my situation to her. It was obvious she did this out of spite for some reason but it was incredibly cruel. I had to abandon my things and I left feeling completely defeated. Just know that not everyone has disabilities that you can see. I would not wish my condition on my worst enemy. Thankfully I am in remission now but I will never forget how I was treated here. read more

Was visiting the Collection from Stevenson Ranch and stopped at Whole Foods for lunch. I approached the food court and an associate named Ian said he'd be with me shortly. Shortly was 23 minutes later as I stood and watched him make 3 pizzas. There was another associate named Jose helping someone else because as time went on, and no one was helping the people waiting... a line of people was now starting to form. I ordered carne asada tacos, but asked that the meat be swapped because upon noticing after it was handed to me... the meat looked dry and burnt. Jose explained to me that this was just how it is, but I've ordered these tacos before many times at the Valencia location. I love the variety at this Whole Foods in comparison to the Valencia store, but service from the associates really lacks at this location which is why I give it one star. read more

I'm so glad you are able to create your own sandwiches here! All the ingredients are fresh-and there are a ton of bread options to choose from. I ordered a hot ham and Swiss on ciabatta.

Just moved to the area. Never shopped a Whole Foods, until recently. Quality products and staff. I'm commenting because I walked in as a person in need of help, not groceries. Long story short, left my phone in the drop off vehicle, the manager Mr Angel helped me immensely. Mr Angel is an example of kindness in a current age of strife. Thank you Angel!! read more

This place has hands down one of the best salad bars. It I not cheap, but they sell it by the lb and from eggs to tofu to lettuce it's all the same price. One of my friends got a lb of cooked beats for the same price I got a meal salad for example. Next this is good place to get a sandwich or burrito, and has a nice deli with tons of other entrées to take home. Also there is pizza that can be made to order or bought by the massive slice. On groceries, we know the manager and met her several thanks giving ago when our online order did not go in correctly. She will make things right if she at all can, and runs a great group of people. Next prices are reasonable if you stick to store brands and compare prices. Basically there is amazing things from Europe like prosciutto and mozzarella that will kill your wallet. And $15 a lb for lunch meat sounds like a lot until you compare it to other markets...and the roast beef is pt die for. read more

Went on my lunch break since I work around the collection to get some pizza. As my luck would have it there's no pizza available. So I wait patiently until it is served. There seem to just be petite white women working who don't seem to know how to hustle at all. The attendant working there with the purple hair then told me "Please don't" as I held one of the pizza handles that was on the plate. If you don't want clients grabbing the pizza then all pizza handles need to be cleaned, washed and sanitized for every single new pizza presented and served. I then said, ""Pardon me", to which she responded and said that every single pizza handle is for different pizzas. As I said and mentioned before, every pizza handle needs to be cleaned and sanitized and presented after the pizzas are placed. No need to have a hissy fit about it. Prefer the gentlemen who work there who know how to get things done instead of these women who seem to take everything personally. read more
