Klassischer Bio-Markt. Als Veganer:in findet man hier auf jeden Fall etwas (sowohl bei den Backwaren als auch an der Hot Bar).
Es muss halt bewusst sein, dass die Kette zu Amazon gehört. Wie man das findet, ist jedem selbst überlassen.

Classic organic market. As a vegan, you'll definitely find something here (both in the baked goods and at the hot bar).
You just have to be aware that the franchise belongs to Amazon. How you find it is up to you.

Talk to Strangers--Saul Williams harmony in my head
Excellent customer service from Lucien, Alexies, and Chris. I love this store. Solid salad and hot bar with heaps of healthy plant forward vegan options. This was my lunch that I enjoyed outside in near perfect weather albeit being on a busy street below a freeway. Reminds me of the George Harrison album All Things Must Pass where he says in a later issue liner notes that the world is getting more concrete and we need to enjoy nature. George was an avid gardener.
I love the diversity of the store and met several folks who work here who hail from Jamaica and Haiti along with born and bred folks from Miami. Of course Whole Foods is more costly than Trader Joe's yet one thing I love about this local is they had 365 brand unsweetened soy milk that was affordable. Unfortunately Trader Joe's didn't have any Soy Milk.
I picked up some local hummus, young kale mix salad, limes, lemons, ginger tea, an organic green bell pepper, tomato, avocados, some dark chocolate, and sunflower seeds in bulk. I felt the bulk section could use some improvement to offer more items. Recommended to stock up on delights.

We were vacationing in Miami 2 weeks ago. We needed something and went to Wholefoods downtown Miami, close to the hotel we were staying. Because I am used to Wholefoods stores in Jacksonville and Jacksonville Beach which are super nice and super clean I was surprised to see how dirty WF in downtown Miami was. Anybody cleaning that store? It is a food store and It is supposed to be clean. I hope anyone of the management is reading this review and take it in consideration. Concern Citizen

The food is pretty good though I notice their sushi bowls are getting smaller and smaller while the price inches up. I saw another comment here that the employees treat their customers like the DMV employees treat people. They don't care at all. Whose fault is that? Bad manager-- it is squarely in management's responsibility. As a leader, you should be guiding the way that employees treat customers and firing those that have bad attitudes. So, management, if you're reading this, it's on you.

I used to love coming here for groceries but also for hot food. Not only did the prices skyrocket in the past 2 years but the quality went down considerably. Nowadays, the hot food counters are dirty, the trays are empty and the food is overcooked or unseasoned. It used to be $8.99 a pound but by now is already up to $11.99. Bottom line, the food is not like it used to be and now it is more expensive. Also, the staff doesn't seem to care about quality or service. For example, the meat department used to have a huge selection of meats now it is very limited and the staff is not helpful like it used to be. Before I was able to ask for different sauces to be added to the meat or chicken pieces I was going to purchase without any problems. Nowadays, the staff makes it complicated and ask me why I want to add sauces on it. One time, I had a saw a attendant pricing the meat after taking the weight with the case on it. It is very uncomfortable to shop so I don't visit this counter anymore. Other issues I have experienced are all througout the store. Cashiers don't like to be bother if there is a price issue. I rather leave the item than to have them check it out. The music is at times like a party in the store. The bakery counter is usually deserted. You can't find staff to help you with a cake. The cakes on display usually look pale and unattractive. Perhaps they are still frozen. I can't really explain it but it just not inviting. It is a general sense of not caring throughout the store. Very sad that this is the situation with this location. I visited other locations and it has been pleasant experiences because the stores are clean, the staff is friendly, and the selection and freshness of food is on point. Some of these locations are in Pinecrest and Tampa. However, this downtown Miami location seems to be deteriorating and in need of major TLC. Just sad.

Good evening!!! My son and I usually come to Whole every day for lunch or dinner. Today, at 8.06 pm, we experience disorganized parking lots. When we came downstairs to my car, I saw the long line of shopping carts parked very closed to my car. So, I was not able to access my car for a while. Both my doors got totally blocked, and I got very upset how chaotic it was. Then, I had to move those shopping carts by myself while my 6 years old son was next to me and watching. I think it is very important for managers and their assistants to plan and organize parking lots in right way. So, the customers do not have this experience in the future. Thanks

Nicer Whole Foods than the one in South Beach but similar amount of vegan offerings… So, it’s not worth the trouble to pop over if you’re staying in South Beach.

Miami Downtown has a large Whole Foods Market. It seems fully stocked with almost everything you can think of.Walked here to get some coconut water and just to browse the selection that they have. This place does seem larger than most Whole Foods. They have a nice selection of hot foods to pick from. Also, the inside was nicely organized.

Not the worst grocery store, and lacks any significant competitor in the area. They have somewhat of a poor parking design which makes access a little annoying by car. Luckily they have a free parking garage for customers. They have a plant area at the entrance and lots of fresh fruit and produce. The fish and meat areas are strong and their stocks have improved over time. This trip there were no cashiers. I don't know why they keep encouraging self checkout (probably because it's cheaper for them), but it's highly inefficient. The customer checkout line curls throughout the store then blocking the pizza, bakery, bread areas. It's a terrible policy and highly inefficient. The staff on hand instead of helping you are yelling at you "next"!!! Meh. The escalator to go to the garage was broken. Despite having a policy on no pets in the store (outside service dogs) many ignore it. They don't enforce anything. It's a zoo some days. I've seen lots of pets faces in food areas they should not be for food resale. People I know you love your pets, but hygienically be considerate to your fellow patrons. When you're not looking they can be in places they shouldn't be. Otherwise the aesthetics are quite nice.

Great convenient location and wonderful selection. The prepared food by the lb. Is great for lunch or even a snack and the bakery makes wonderful cakes. There always have the most beautiful holiday cakes of any bakery in Miami. The selection of hand made soaps is also wonderful.
