SAF at Whole Foods in Kensington and Chelsea

Used to be good Proper rubbish now

Great food variety, the cheese section is divine 😋😋

One of my favorite grocery stores is Whole Foods. It’s relatively expensive, but the quality and variety of products are worth it, especially for unique and local brands. The hot food counters are fantastic, with tasty options. The store is big, offering an impressive selection. Even if we are not buying much, we enjoy browsing for treats and specialty items.

Well some of the food stalls products are not quite as fresh as they should be.

The place was in a funk but has been improved. I think the quality may be there to rival Waitrose and M&S. cannot wait for further expansions.

The organic vegetables now have chemicals ,my mouth taste chemicals (the greens Nero and broccoli)after eating them,before did not happen . This is very concerning because if we cannot eat organic vegetables from farmers what do we will have to eat? Macdonalds? The UK farmers are cheating .

Any chance you can expand to Scotland? 😀

High quality ingredients, bought cheese and ham

This particular Kensington location is definitely not practicing WFM culture like how they’re supposed to (customer obsession). I visited this store around 7pm on a Friday night, the store wasn’t even that busy. SCO girl was extremely snobby, I asked her if I can use my whole foods discount code (yes, I work at US branch) she said zero words, scanned her barcode and walked away acted like I was a bother. Wow! Day and night compare to US stores, even the worst store in the US is still friendlier than Kensington location. Security guard was rude, I asked him where can I find “produce”, he was like “what!?” He looked at me like I’m daft. I said “fruits and vegetables”, he pointed his finger down and walked away (again, like I was a bother). I feel sorry for your store when our CEO or someone important from the main branch came for a surprise visit. Very disappointed on my visit. Hopefully SOHO and Camden locations have better service.

Very impressed with the size and range. I love going to Whole Foods, even if it's just to browse. It's pricey, but you also find all sorts of treats. The fresh produce, snacks, vitamins and hair care all looked fab. It can be a bit snooty in Kensington, but if you're not fussed about that, then you might like it here. It's over two floors, so posdibly double the size of the Picadilly Circus store, which has always been one of my favourites to pop to when I'm nearby. I'd definitely come back if I was in the area.

Very delicious food, variety of fast food. There could be more cleaning in the bathrooms, otherwise the attention of the different positions is ok.

Whole Foods is truly a great place to run errands or even eat on the go. The place is super clean and well organized, with a wide variety of prepared foods, from pizza to roast chicken, potatoes, lasagna, and more. The fact that the price is calculated by weight is a real plus, because it allows you to take just what you want, without waste. The food is really delicious, everything is fresh and of good quality. This is ideal if you are in a hurry and want to eat well. The staff is also very pleasant and always ready to help. Whether for shopping or eating on site, this is a very good place to recommend!

Very nice but I am confused why the top floor is no longer there so there is nowhere eat in? Will the top floor be reopened soon? Edit: I found the seating area. It's nice

Good clean store. Lots of product choices and helpful staff.

Quality food. Amazing supermarket with wide variety of high-end products. The food bar is very tasty too.

Update!! To he last few times we went to this WFM it was unrecognizable. It they’re back! Is there new management ? The supplement section was back to outstanding. We found some interesting products for sure. The food bar has gotten better but I still miss the hey days with the restaurants upstairs. Is there ever going to be anything up there again? I was happy not to notice any of the awful supermarket brands. And there were fruit flies on the pastries so that was a bit off putting *** This was. 1 star review: Awful Pizza is now tasteless and the slices shrunk. Half the variety is gone. No whole foods branded items. Mostly what you can get in any high street supermarket. And a gentleman who works approached my child encouraging him to try a ketchup sample. I already told him no. He persisted. Been a WF customer since 1998. Worse and worse in UK, USA and Canada since Amazon purchased.

Very pricey but a great variety of things and very helpful staff.

By far the best Whole Foods in London.

It’s a pretty great grocery store and eatery. Good location.

This isn’t a shop, this is a whole experience. A day out! Stocking the biggest kombucha selection in the U.K.! Only the best brands. Lots of free samples and friendly people!

the hot and cold takeaway salad boxes looked slightly better than they tasted, the food was not always very fresh

Bought a ‘Yummy chocolate cupcake’; was not yummy.

Quality ❌ Fruit n veg, meat, fish, meals looked dry, discoloured and old. It freaked me out seeing mountains of food stacked up expiring on the day of visit - at 9pm. Do they throw them all away or put a sticker with the new expiry date !? ☠️ Against all my gut instinct, I tried their sushi - and it was bad. Ambience ❌ Downstairs reek of urine, near the loo 🤢 Range ❌ There is nothing they stock you can't find in other places for cheaper. I love the Whole Foods stores in the US, the magic isn’t here in London. Planet organic does this better or Notting Hill Fish + meat shop - where the food and veg there are all insanely fresh and delicious.

If you're expecting the same as Whole Foods in the US, you're in for a disappointment. The store itself was nice - clean, well presented, etc. But the selection of goods on offer isn't comparable to similar sized US locations.

One of the bests supermarkets to find mostly everything.

I visited Japan House today, and then I went to the Whole Foods market next to it. There was Gui Lao Liang Tan rice in it. After you choose it, go to the cashier to count the weight. It’s £24/kg. It’s not expensive, and it tastes good. Baguette is also the only one. At 1.49, I can give it a try if it is of good quality. After comparing the money, there is a place near the door where I can sit low and eat immediately. The environment is good.

Tried the new living things soda at whole foods and loved the natural flavour and reccomend it.

**updated. Now do courgette and aubergine grilled without dosing in oil which if desired is in the sauce section. Lovely cajun chicken presently with roasted red onion and peppers. Would be nice to have fish option that isn't breaded. Eating section, one side is warm and the other is like dining in the Artic, Wholefoods should sell dining-in jumpers. Always well stocked with staples and niche items. Would like if a sturdier wipe proof bag could be bought that can hold salad bar boxed without breaking the handles or sliding about.

Absolutely incredible store with food to suit everyone's taste. Hot or cold, healthy options and sauces with which to baste. I love the meat lasagne or katsu curry's flavours It's certainly worth a visit...and the price won't break the bank either.

Best groceries you can find in London

Sells takeaway food, provides seating, but not a microwave in sight. The ridiculousness.

Vegan burrito & organic seaweed chips 😋 Big seating area inside

I recently bought a box of strawberries in the store. The cashier said the transaction could not go through and insisted me to pay again. I contacted the customer service for the double payment but the service desk refused to refund. This is definitely the worst experience I had with the UK supermarket.

My favourite supermarket ( and the best Wholefoods in town )

Fresh organic products where everything is of a high organic standard.

Excellent quality but the prices are expensive

An excellent place and a wonderful collection of Arabic restaurants and halal food Various types of shawarma, pizza, Sabani and Mexican food, everything is delicious and their prices are excellent 💋💋

Played some soccer to win a candybar here. It was fun.

Awesome food store. Fresh fruits, salads and everything else is supremely fresh and reasonably priced here. Pizza was awesome too. Ate at least one meal here everyday during my 5 day visit to London this summer with my 10 year old.

I went to the fishmonger for some fresh fish and it was the most unhelpful customer service I've ever met. I asked what they recommended out of the marinated cod and the response was "it's down to what you want", to which I replied "I like a strong flavour profile and was met with the same response. When I then chose the cod fillet, he then marked it as something else which was double the price and when challenged, he didn't check the price but instantly knew he was wrong and changed it. From the interaction before, I'm expecting that it wad either deliberate or he didn't care. The only saving grace is that the fish was good. Check the calculation on your fish!

You find everything you need, but keep your credit card on ice because prices are hot.

I have been to other locations of Whole foods market and I would prefer this one as it's much bigger with many more choices. I like that you can find some of the local (London) independent brands which offer good quality (though quite expensive indeed). Love its hot food counters and previously tried some of the food like meatballs which were very tasty. This time I had these chicken pesto ciabatta which was nice too. The ciabatta was soft and not dry. The price for this was reasonable.

Terrible experience in this store in which employees allow themselves to express their political ideas, in a place where you think you are going to relax and simply do your shopping. An employee, Soraya, greets you at the checkout with a scarf on her head resembling a keffiyeh and a Palestinian flag slung over her work tunic. Symbols synonymous for many customers frequenting this store with the terrible atrocities of 07/10, destruction and hatred of Jews. To flee!

Ideal for sperlonga bread (the only Bread in all London) and chicken escalope. All the rest is too espensive. Uodate: today, sunday 9 June 2024 it closed at 6 pm instead of 10 pm as per google nap indication. I came here for no reason. Thx

Be careful of thieves who unfortunately also roam inside pretending to be customers

Whole Foods Market was a unique experience for me to shop for food. The food produced there was fresh and well prepared and presented.

Huge store. Lots of options for good stuff.

Very nice commercial establishment where the different food products are well presented.

Whole Foods Market is a standout supermarket that sets the bar high with its emphasis on fresh, organic produce and impeccable cleanliness. Every visit to Whole Foods is a delightful experience, and I often find myself traveling from afar just to shop here, despite it not being my local supermarket. The quality and variety available make it well worth the trip. One of the major highlights of Whole Foods is its extensive selection of fresh, organic produce. The fruits and vegetables are always vibrant and flavorful, a testament to their commitment to providing top-quality, health-conscious options. This dedication to organic offerings is evident throughout the store, which is meticulously clean and well-organized, making shopping both pleasant and efficient. The fresh food buffets at Whole Foods are another attraction that keeps me coming back. The variety of hot and cold dishes, all prepared with fresh ingredients, caters to a range of tastes and dietary preferences. Whether you're looking for a quick, healthy meal or something more indulgent, the buffets are consistently well-stocked and inviting. Adding to the appeal is the coffee and bakery section. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The bakery offers an impressive array of breads, pastries, and desserts, all of which are as delicious as they are fresh. Beyond the essentials, Whole Foods also carries a unique selection of toiletries, candles, sage, and incense, allowing shoppers to find holistic and lifestyle products that enhance their overall well-being. This comprehensive range of high-quality products, coupled with the store’s pristine environment, sets Whole Foods apart from other supermarkets. In summary, Whole Foods Market is the best supermarket I have ever visited. Its commitment to quality, cleanliness, and variety makes it a highly recommended shopping destination. If you appreciate top-notch organic produce and a superior shopping experience, Whole Foods is definitely worth the journey.

The selection was better a few years ago. Still absolutely recommended.

I love this brand, excellent salads and prepared meals. Lots of choice and very nice store!

Still not the easiest store to navigate and what is the obsession with the torres black truffle crisp ( there are other flavours )!

What an amazing store! Everyone was so helpful. The wine person even went the extra mile to try to help us find some wine we asked about that was served in our hotel. We're from Austin in Texas and we have Whole Foods there too, and it was so nice to visit your store today.

Great fish selection. Great service of sales person on the fish till.We were pleasantly surprised how nice the fish was cleaned. Will enjoy our fish. Thank you

I just spend £200 , and I am a regular customer. on the lower ground floor ,the manger of the floor his name starts with a N , would not give a free beg , just one . Absolutely terrible customer service terrible attitude from him . Would never shop here again .

Very expensive but quality supermarket number 1 in London

Full range of grocery products, delicious cakes and snacks. The temptation is high here, and so is the appetite. You can find ready-made fresh products, you just have to decide what you want. Definitely buy Parmigiano Reggiano. There is also a dining area right after the cash registers where you can enjoy what you bought right away. You can also find toilets and a flower shop.

May organic options available. Also the hot food till 8pm, def recommended

Today we bought 2 take away portions of lasagna for dining at home. The lasagna is simply disgusting. No tasting at all, the cheese was owful and the meat was of bad bad bad quality. 2 lasagnas (£20 pounds) throwed away in the bin.

Very delicious market 😍😍😍😍best ever

A supermarket that has everything! You can even get a hot meal and stop to eat it on the tables outside the supermarket

Would have posted no stars if that was an option. The products sold in this shop are no longer whole food ; heavy processed and individually wrapped products are taking over, the chocolate shelf is turning into a sweet one , most of the good quality chocolate bars are gone and replaced by sugary ones, the salad bar and hot food one are poor in taste and choice compared to what it used to be 7 to 10 years ago, the grain and nuts area is now bare minimal, hidden in a corner , the cheese section which used to be great is no better than any other supermarket around . The reshaping of the shopping floor was a way to hide the reduction of the range of products and the one still offered are often out of stock for weeks. Despite the inflation , my basket has decreased by a factor of 10. At least, when this shop closes, I would not miss it. The tourist might be easily fooled but not the loyal customer.

I had such a lovely experience that I felt compelled to write a review. I did a big shop earlier today and went to the self serve checkout and packed my backpack and a couple other bags. As I was leaving, my back and clothes felt wet and I noticed that something was leaking in my bag. I went back in asking if somebody had some tissues while I emptied my bag to find the culprit (olives). The security guard brought me wet wipes and blue roll while the manager came and asked what happened. He was very kind and so polite and went the extra mile to help me, as did other team members. He said his name was Simon and I just hope that him, his team and the lovely security guard are commended for their excellent customer service. Thank you!

Pretty nice Whole Foods, two floors, first floor focusing on hot and cold food already made and second floor focusing on market area. For food expect to be charge by Kg and it goes around 20£ for a small portion. Have variety of everything.

Wholefoods supports products produced on occupied Palestinian lands in the WestBank against all International and UN Laws. Wholefoods imports from the illegal settlements Avocados and Madjool dates labeled as made in “Israel” Just highlighting the above for awareness. You can judge and decide. But for me, I am done with Wholefoods as long as they are complicit in supporting occupation and oppression of Palestinians.

For me this is the best place to go have a bite from cold dishes to hot dishes. To buying organic vegetables.

You can find everything on this super market. Its kind of expensive.. but the quality is more than amazing. Nice coffee area and very clean toilets.Everyday fresh cooked food for dinner or lunch.

Too many products coming from China. It should favor European, safer and quality products. Not all products are organic! Check before buying. Meat disappoints me. Too "mature"!

Nice supermarket and loads of new food to explore.

Good quality and selection of food.

This was our first visit, good to see so much choice with the fresh food. I am sure you could have found everything you wanted here. It was no wonder that people were filling their baskets.

One of my favourite grocery stores. Although pricey, the items on offer here are of good quality and not always found in your typical high street supermarkets. The takeaway buffet is topped up regularly and fresh pizza is sold in the bakery by the slice.

Love this shopping store. Products are beautifully presented. Great menus and sandwiches to eat straight away.

I liked it, but it was very much like a Whole Foods in America. And so I shopped at Marks & Spencer. Never seen one of those in the states.

Absolutely wonderful supermarket with the freshest foods I’ve ever seen. So many tempting options as you walk through the shop and see fresh pizza, freshly baked bread, pastries and cakes, ready made food, salads & hot meals. I can’t afford to shop here often and don’t live in the area, but it is worth the trip every now and then, especially if I find myself in the Kensington area. There are also many local, ethical and high quality brands you won’t find elsewhere.

pricey but worth it, healthiest food so far that I have eaten and meat is tasty

Everything is fresh, lots of choice and affordable prices

The mini-wine bottles on the stand alone shelf are placed very close to the hot food section, which may cause the wines to overheat and degrade, as the mini-wine bottle I purchased was warm and tasted sour when consumed. I live miles away from the store, and Wholefoods online made no effort to refund me remotely, they didn’t even offer a voucher for the defective wine, so I have been left out of pocket. Also the Wholefoods pre-packaged ready-made meals were disappointing, the jerk chicken thighs were substandard, you should use free range organic meat instead, the lasagne was okay but had too much cheese.

Lots of lovely expensive stuff but not great for Coeliacs.

Feels like different (worse) since Amazon took over. Price/ value/ quality no longer for.

Get place to buy health foods. Was there yesterday and some items bought are very good value

This is already second time within two weeks that im facing with quality situation of products at wholefoods. I am very disappointed of current situation of items in this store. Today i bought pack of mandarines and raspberries where the both was mouldy. Las week i found hair on packed chicken! Shame on you!! High prices but very low quality

Luxurious food. Great take out options with plenty of veg and hot food

It doesn't matter if you need to purchase something for yourself or something interesting and tasty to bring back as souvenir. Personally bought quite a lot of British chocolate from here.

Very beautiful, but the prices are high

Love the place. A bit more expensive but the layout and the goods inside it are amazing. The cooked food ,both hot and salads, is very good. Each time I am in the area I try to have lunch there.

A great place to find lots of interesting food and drinks.

Amazing range of freshly cooked food, lots of vegetarian options. There is ample seating where people can eat what they bought.

Great variety of food, perfect choice instead of pizza delivery...

Good selection of take away foods for lunch but the supermarket itself is way way way too overpriced. £33 for a small packet of fresh mango slices. Which costs £3 on other supermarkets, double the size.

Very good supermarket. High quality ingredients and big selection of wines and cheeses. Lovely selection of prosciutto freshly cut.

Went there for groceries for a long stay, limited items but main complaint was the garlic I purchased was all growing when I cut them open.

I love this brand, you can find very good products there, there are often small promotions, which is not insignificant, hot cooked meals, soups, salads, a pizza bar... in short for everyone tastes ! I go there every time I come to London.

Expensive but has a variety of produce

Place went downhill in the past few years. Hot food counter is disgusting. No more juice bar. Absolutely mass market supermarket vibe now rather than niche what it used to be.

I have always shopped at Wholefoods but I am beginning to question their brand integrity and if they even care what they are feeding their customers nowadays. I’m not sure if they have a new buyer but selling Mcvitties hobnobs, ritz crackers and Kellogg’s crunchy nut has made me lose total trust in the products they sell. I would go there because I trusted they were selling brands with WHOLE FOODS but it seems profits are more important so have jumped on the processed garbage. Very disappointed, thankfully Planet Organic still have standards and care about the products they supply and where they came from. Hopefully someone speaks to the buyer and they but things right.

One of the best whole foods in the UK, if not the best. Customer service is great, produce is always top of the line. From fruits and veg grown organically in the UK to imported fruits from Thailand and the Philippines, all perfectly ripe and the best quality produce. Always worth a stop of you're in the area.

my wife and I really like this chain !

Great offer with very good quality.

A good variety of hot and cold options, a section to do Veg / fruit shopping and a place to eat (by the checkout counters). Will come again!
