Impossible to shop here. This store is 1/4 the size it needs to be and 75% of the bodies taking up space between the aisles are employees or produce carts of trash. I bid you adieu Whole Foods.

The good news is I saved 39 cents because of my Amazon Prime membership on a $90 basket of foods. The bad news is that a lot of the foods were not good: from the bakery, the corn bread was dry (stale?). From the deli area, the sushi (perhaps provided by an outside vendor) was not good at all with very gummy rice and tasteless fish. Several potatoes in a bag of potatoes were soft. Guacamole from the salad bar was seemingly pureed and unpleasant. I had one of those low plastic rolling baskets and I asked the cashier if I could put the basket on the conveyor belt. The response, "no, but you can put all the foods on the belt." Yes I can, emptying the basket and simultaneously bowing deeply to the myth of Whole Foods. And paying $90 for this once and last visit.

Seriously⁉ This gas been my go to location since opening. Now with the onset of home delivery its impossible to navigate this already small, tight market. What was an enjoyable shopping experience has been totally obliterated. Crowded with the home shoppers filling carts for delivery makes it impossible to navigate the already so small space. One of the home shoppers was so rude to me, she blocked the isle and told me to wait until she was finished making her selections. WHOAAA ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Move to the side let others pass. Idk if I'll be returning . Whole Foods, some of your locations are just not suitable to offer conveniences

First off the store smells like sewage. Ewww...like food nearby. Really understaffed but employees are great. You'd think Amazon and Jeff Bezos have enough money to hire enough people. So greedy!!! Small store so not much selection. Still a few good things. But lines are long so seriously hire more people and give the employees a raise. They're clearly overworked and deserve better!!

Pros: + Great customer service + Great options for ready made food + Reasonably priced Cons: - Limited stock - they do often run out of produce and aren't always - Crowded - Limited parking

Usually I like whole foods as an upscale option, but this place had the same prices and I feel was missing some of the niceness and convenience of an upscale place. First, it was very crowded and hard to get around. Second the bathrooms were not very nice. They were dirty, wet and smelly. And there was a line out the door. I had to change my baby's diaper and it was far from ideal to say the least. But hey maybe I should count my blessings to just find a bathroom at all in the city. Simply put this was far from my favorite whole foods store. They did there best to streamline the check out. Although there was also a wait, it could have been much worse considering the volume of people. But in the end just too many ppl here and not enough space...i guess that's the city...Would not return if other options are available.

Wow! What an experience! The Manhattan Whole Foods should be visited even if you don't buy anything.it is wall to wall people. Just navigating through the crowds is an art. We went for organic baby food. If that's something you need, I would recommend shopping here. There are lots and lots of choices. Not only are there jars, but the new kind that comes in squeeze packets that the baby just sucks. There are lots of types of fruits and vegetables from carrots to cinnamon apple to bananas. Our baby like all of the flavors. The combinations make the vegetables tasty. Checking out is also unique. You wait in lines that are labeled by color. When the number in your designated color appears, you can proceed to the small checkout counter. It was very interesting. I think that if someone had lots of groceries as they do anywhere out of the city, this technique would not work. The counters were just too small. We had a baby diaper incident while we were there. The bathroom was not large enough to accommodate the crowds, especially the ladies rooms. The diaper change caused the line waiting time to increase to about 15 minutes. The ladies weren't too happy about that... All in all, this grocery store experience was something to try. but I would not say that "shopping is a pleasure" here.

Decently sized supermarket with just about everything you could need. Spacious ailes with plenty of workers around the store to help with finding what you need. I come here regularly and never have much of a problem. Although the one thing I have noticed lately is that their yams do not seem as fresh and lack a bit of quality than the previous months. Can't say for certain if this applies to any other foods as well but definitely positive about that for the yams. I'm just thankful the lines have not been an utter nightmare because it definitely gets crowded here at times like rush hour, etc. Huge fan of their organic Granny Smith apples, always juice and fresh.

I like to call this particular Whole Foods location "Partial Foods". It's like a C-Town or Key Food on Queens Boulevard has had their inventory upgraded to better quality items but the same real estate foot print. Before you visit, you need to get your game face on and brace your self for a potentially Mad Max-esque free for all starting in the parking lot. Space is at a premium, both inside the store and outside so you will need to pay attention to oncoming cars, incoming carts and everything in between. Have a plan and do not wander aimlessly for your sake and the sake of your fellow shoppers. Minimize smartphone usage, keep children on a tight leash and do not leave your cart unattended mid-aisle and thereby blocking the entire aisle. If you survive without cursing your fellow customers out, consider that a small victory. If ever there is a poster child for online shopping, it's a store like this. Why the three stars and not an abysmally lower one? It's still Whole Foods, the quality is certainly there and I'm a s***** for prime pricing and deals. The fresh fruit doesn't spoil quickly, it tastes good and the selection was amply stocked. The bagels are respectably sized and I could find every item on the list despite the Lilliputian location.

This review is only for the bakery section- went looking for a decorated cake I needed in 72hrs, called all the bakeries within the area all of which either couldn't make it in time or couldn't make the decoration I asked for. Peggy and Shar at Whole Foods bakery however were able to make the cake PERFECTLY in time and with the exact design I wanted!! The cake made our occasion that much better! Would definitely recommend them for any decorative cake you need! Very nice and accommodating.

This location is super tiny. And since they are tiny they didn't have a lot of their usual items. I also miss the usual ready-made food that you can take out. One of the things featured at this location is their Italian sandwich bar. All the items at the sandwich bar looked fresh. When I picked one of the sandwiches, "The Italian Stallion" I was told they were out of prosciutto. How does a supermarket run out of a deli meat? I swapped prosciutto for soppressatta. The woman who made my sandwich was happy to make the substitution and went on to make my sandwich. She took a while doing it but in the end it was pretty tasty. Every staff member, with the exclusion of the woman who made my sandwich, seemed like they couldn't be bother. No one seemed particularly friendly. Not a big fav of this location and I plan on stopping here only if convenient for me.

This Whole Foods is smaller than most of the other locations but it's convenient. Just be aware that there is less parking available here and this location is physically smaller and so has less items and no sit down eating area either. I hate how expensive this chain is, a tiny cup of soup is nearly $5 --insane, so I only ever come here for hard to find or niche products, food and beauty, (gotta get my Flight Spray before any trips). They've got the basics and the people that work here are helpful and always ask if I need any help. Some of the people that shop here don't care much for personal space and don't mind slamming you or the employees (one of whom was on a ladder!) with their shopping carts or bodies without so much as a word. If you don't mind the drive, Jericho has a much bigger Whole Foods with a much better parking lot and shoppers. Just a tip: Parking is hard to come by no matter what hour I've dropped by and the people that patronize this location are the worst drivers I've ever seen. Be careful driving around the parking lot, people speed in the parking lot and aren't paying attention. I've had a few close calls with people cutting corners and not paying attention or trying to steal your parking spot, (they love to do that here!).

Yes, this Whole Foods Market is small but packs a lot of punches. Parking can be a pain during most hours. They have many products stored in every possible nook and cranny for this establishment. Hey, you could get chicken tenders from a mini-fridge at the checkout if you forgot to get some in the freezer aisle. My favorite food list would be too long, but you will not be bored as they offer a wide variety of food. The aisles are a bit tight to navigate and can be aggravating at times. But foremost, the customer service is top-notch here. Employees are always willing to help and seem friendly. The shelves and price tags are in order and observed a woman employee taking pride in aligning the cold grab and go section. Looks great~!!. The store was clean at the time of my visit and every section from the seafood to the bakery section looked very appetizing. As for a tip, I didn't see a hot food station but looks like they have a hot station for making sandwiches by the deli counter. The cold salad bar is at the rear of the produce section.

The worst most expensive supermarket!! The check out girl was amazing but it was all down hill from there. I spent $250 dollars and have nothing to show for it and the red peppers where rotten!!! The store was a mess and the aisles are so crowded.

Big and plentiful Whole Foods in Manhasset Long Island. Really nice shopping area. There's just about any store you'd want here!
