Marcus MrakMay 12, 2013Simply the best grocery store in manhattan! Fresh fruits, vegetables, cheese, bakery and bufet with take away cooked dishes and always very kind and helpfull staff! Thumbs up and keep going! ;)
Paul FraitesJanuary 2, 2018Their hot food stations are AWESOME! You just try their Mac and Cheese! Great selection of beers too and baked goods! Their espresso coffee is good as well.
Get the cheese grits at the breakfast buffet, super cheap, $1.29 for a small, $2.79 for a large. They are so tasty (and I'm from New England-- I'm not even supposed to like grits!!)
True, everything in here is ridiculously overpriced ... except for most of the offerings in the bakery! Stellar desserts for pretty amazing prices, considering it's Whole Foods.
Kimmie OhhJuly 8, 2019The 1st floor has baked goods, hot/prepared food, beer, tea. The basement has most of the groceries (dairy, meats, veggies, etc). The top floor has the seating/eating area. Also, Amazon Prime deals!
Jakub H.February 12, 2020We tried a lot of food: pizza, mac and cheese, buffalo wings, pizza, mashed potatoes, some pulled pork and steaks, nugets, mozzarella sticks and more. food was good 6/10 (mac and cheese is the best! )
The Corcoran GroupApril 27, 2010Their vegan treats taste better than you'd think.Order an old-fashioned birthday cake with flowers on the top for a special occasion or try their amazing vegan brownies any day of the week.
This is one of the older Whole Foods in NYC and the age shows. It's not dirty or dated per se, but it shows its age. This location is great because of its proximity to the Union Square Park
HashtagNYUApril 14, 2017Their groceries are healthy and delicious, plus their ready-made food court has loads of fresh and flavorful options. The salad bar is one of the largest near campus.
Love Whole Foods. This location is very convenient as it's close to my office. it's not the biggest location, but it's great.
MCJuly 9, 2017I really love this supermarket. After your shopping there is buffet for lunch what you want. Enjoy 😊
Kim McDecember 26, 2013Went there w/ a relative for 1st time. Been to other Whole Foods Market several times, but it's not listed. Located on Columbus Ave bet. 96th and 99th St (strip of stores and residential building)
Andrew CMarch 11, 2015Great sandwiches. The lines look crazy long, but they move fast thanks to magic (and science)!
Foursquare InsidersSeptember 11, 2015"Assemble your picnic fixings at the extensive and delicious take-out bar. Head down to Washington Square Park, pick a spot and enjoy the counter-culture mis-en-scene." - Simon Doonan, author Read more
Pedro MartinsSeptember 25, 2013Best muffins that I ever ate. This is, by far, the best grocery shop I have been. Love the freshly squeezed orange or apple bottled juice, they're 100% fruit.
A&B American StyleDecember 20, 2013Pick up our Pepper Sauce, carrot juice, orange juice, ginger, lemon juice, parsley. Use those to make the March Hare, our fresh take on the classic Bloody Mary (vodka sold separately) Read more
Refilling your growler can be a bit of an adventure. You'll have to ask the cheese guys to find the right person.
Elizabeth LeeOctober 18, 2016Check out their candles and soaps section - pretty interesting for someone from Asia. Their organic produce is pretty mind boggling too.
Casey NeistatAugust 10, 2014Probably the worst whole foods in the city. always crowded, like touching elbows with a stranger crowded. I still go tho, the worst whole foods is still better than most grocery stores in this town
CompassApril 25, 2014The Union Square Whole Foods has it everything from organic produce to gluten-free beer. Get some of the best local ingredients here.
Always crowded, but there is a huge selection of gluten-free food. Tip: Whole Foods accepts manufacturers coupons and also has their own coupons on their website. Clip, print, and save!
Berit ChristensenOctober 21, 2016Great place, everything at One place; organic food, takeaway, fresh food and great beer assortment👍
Concert Ticket AgencyOctober 8, 2012Pay a little more money, but be guaranteed the freshest organic produce, no funny biz. Great for snacks on the way to Highline, Mercury Lounge or the UCB theater nearby!
Melanie SilveraOctober 28, 2014If you have the option go to whole foods in TriBeCa. Much less people. If you don't, be realistic about the amount of time you have to maneuver around people, displays, and wait in line.
JillianJanuary 27, 20131. Grab some food 2. Head upstairs to the seating area 3. Enjoy awesome views of the park and the Empire State Bldg with your meal :)
Marc MayerFebruary 2, 2016If you were a happy person before you went in, you'll come out loathing the human race. We truly are a terrible bunch. The only catharsis is the smile you get when checking out.
Arctic Zero is an awesome froyo option; get cookies and cream. 150 calories a pint and you won't believe it.
If you don't have an obnoxious amount of groceries and are trying to avoid the crazy checkout lines, bring your stuff upstairs and the barista will ring you up!
For the best shopping experience, stage a small peaceful protest over the express lane's grammatical incorrectness.
Freelancers/mobile workers: get a seat up in the cafe next to the microwave to get an outlet. You might get cancer, but your devices will be charged!
BennuworldFebruary 26, 2013One of the busiest and most crowded in the city. If you're not in a hurry, it's good to shop here sometimes. Open late, too.
Ben YoungOctober 18, 2014A smaller WholeFoods but good for top ups - we like the vegetarian burger patties which I haven't found at others.
The Transit NavigatorSeptember 24, 2011Certainly the coolest Whole Foods. Grab something to eat, stand in the automated line, and head upstairs. But before you leave, take a cart up the cart escalator (basement to ground floor)!
Hot Bread KitchenJanuary 17, 2012The Union Square Whole Foods has a fantastic selection of natural and organic foods and produce. You can find Hot Bread Kitchen products sold here.
Raphael LangenscheidtNovember 17, 2015I mean, what is there to say. Great selection, awesome food bar, but high prices. Still - I keep coming back.
They have a great selection. You'd think it would be crazy busy, but the layout keeps thing moving well.
A huge amount of foods to choose from. Delicious warm foods and a good cafe upstairs.
BluePrintJune 10, 2011Many afternoons you can find BluePrintCleanse reps offering samples of the juice! Ask any questions you may have about the cleanse or having juices on their own.
Ren RennMarch 28, 2015Long lines but they move so fast! And one of the best salad bars in the city is in this Union Sqr location
I come here for the prepared meals and the view of Union Square from the seating area upstairs.
David GuerrieriDecember 9, 2015Don't go during lunch hour, huge lines, but if you go right before or after its delicious!
Aniruddha MandkeOctober 12, 2014The smoothies in the cafe are exceptional. Quite a bit of variety in the store and reasonable prices.
Try the tea cookies by the pound! So many options to choose from! The cupcakes are also good!
Stephen ParkerAugust 21, 2014Great selection of absolutely everything. If you don't enjoy walking around 6M people in one store, don't go here.
Andrea A-To-The-AOctober 13, 2013Homeless guy just asked my friend for a piece of his chicken - inside the store, upstairs in the seating area. Friend gave him half.
Jemar SouzaMay 7, 2015If you're a Postmate with a big list go to customer service, ask for help, and see if Jay can guide you. He's dope.
TemelMay 24, 2014Try cheese variations. The restaurant is also very good to pause and get some rest.
