Whole Foods Market in City of London, Westminster

This market has gone downhill with a vengeance. I used to regularly buy German sausages they imported from Germany, they were absolutely delicious and free from nitrate. Now they sell the most DISGUSTING replacement from Dingley Dell. They taste like wet saw dust with salt. NEVER NEVER AGAIN.

Amazing choice of food 🍱 even if a bit pricey But good quality always Friendly helpful staff and the food they serve hot or salads are amazing 🤩🙏🥰👍🏻

Nice supermarket for organic groceries located at the heart of Picardy circus. Unsurprisingly it’s expensive.

Not the biggest store, but a good selection at high prices that you won't find in regular groceries

Scary prices, although a pleasure to see and enjoy if you like quality supermarkets. Although there is not much variety in products, it is of quality, quite compared to the average British supermarkets.

Lot of good health food , kind staff

Nice, large grocery store with the option to take hot food with you or eat there. Can only be recommended.

Definitely my best place to feel good and energised by the staff and all the supplements ❤️

Discriminatory against vegans: I got the vegan burrito which includes 4 toppings as do the meat ones. However sour cream and cheese obvs not vegan and they don’t have vegan cheese alternatives. The price is 20p less than the meat one despite not having the same choice. And if I want a ‘creamy’ guacamole added I have to pay extra for the pleasure. It should be included for vegans as there is no vegan cheese. Disappointing from a retailer that ought to be renowned for sustainable eating choices. Will go elsewhere for my Mexican fix

Quite expensive but such good quality food

Great place for shopping. More options in this branch than others (eg gluten free baguette, bagels etc). They allowed me to keep my bike in front of customer service desk for short period whist I am shopping.

One of the nicest Whole Foods we’ve ever been to. An incredible selection of quality food. Prices significantly cheaper than its’ American counterpart.

Food is delicious especially curry beef brisket that recall typical Hong Kong (茶餐廳) taste memory, the 燒味飯 taste good, many thank you for Ann recommendation, excellence service, value for money, will revisit more 😋😋

Nice place to buy your organic food but expensive Food bar/ hall is also nice

Small shop compared to the ones I normally go to. Good selections available.

Great produce and take away food. For healthy and wealthy foodies.

Good selection of food and drinks, but very overpriced

High quality food. Oh! to be able to shop here and eat from here, every day!

Rude staff and increasingly thin pizzas with almost inexistent toppings.

Prices are a little high but no more than you expect for a supermarket in this position. Good fresh stock.

Huge selection of products that are certainly not available in Austria... Absolutely recommended

Hot food bar is expensive for what it is and my bowl wasn’t even entirely filled! And the Mac n cheese tastes like it’s been there for a longggg time.

A little piece of home in London. Similar selection to the US. Lots of great healthy snacks and drinks available.

Nice big store in central london. Has a good selection of vitamins. Wish they had more baking stock like chocolate for baking etc

Salad bar depleted for some time. Interesting variety of unusual food goods.

Picked up some dates today costing 10.99, after opening and eating a few I noticed the bottom layer of dates were mouldy. First and last time I’ll be shopping there. 🤮

The store is very well located. It's right next to the screens at Picadilly Circus. You will find quality fresh products there, and you can also go there to eat (there are takeaway food stands) and sit in the square (there are tables and chairs).

I really like this shop especially for the cheeses and the cooked food like the grilled aubergines!

Spectacular food. It has everything to take away. Salads to assemble, hot meals, sushi. The bakery is excellent too.

Super clean grocery store with a small food section. You can eat the food you purchased there on the 1st floor. There are daily offers and for example on Thursday we got a Margherita pizza for £10. Toilets available.

Upmarket supermarket, relatively expensive. Big queues at tills.

I love shopping in Whole Foods and always spend a decent amount of money there for my groceries. I have never bought their self picked hot food before so I decided to try some today and regretted. Their hot food is ridiculously expensive. I took 2 pieces of skinny chicken, a small portion of broccoli, some sweet potatoes, some gravy of the beef goulash without taking the meat, some mixed vegetables. I did not take a lot of each and there is space left inside my box for more if i want. My box cost me £17.71 and it isn't heavy! I am happy to pay for good food but for this portion and quality, the price is ridiculous! Now I'm heading off to buy more food elsewhere because it's not enough for my dinner. Grumpy and hungry.....

Disappointing experience. First time we went back there since NYE 2019. No trays to carry your food on anymore because of Covid, extortionate prices, well as you’d expect in Central London and poor self check out areas too probably due to the shocking phone reception inside most of the building. Food was good but shopping experience wise, avoid.

The place to eat!! Very rich and economical

Great location 5mns walk from Soho with a large variety of foods both fresh, pre packed, fruit, etc. you can. Also order a pastry or lunch and cuppaccino sitting down alfresco.

They have a lot of options for take away food but be careful as it’s priced by weight. I.e pasta + chicken could cost you 18£ but a salad around 8-9£. Burrito option is good, 9£ decent size. Pre-cooked salads are not the best. Long queues at 12pm!

Clean supermarket, manager and staff are friendly. Asked me to carry my dog politely as I was walking through wf. Pricey nonetheless you get quality products and produce. Recommended.

Thousands of good quality edible items were sold here. They also have hot foods that you can self-serve and dine outside.

A good Whole Foods spot here, great variation of healthy food options. 🥒🍏

Nice choice of food products, you can also eat there and sit outside. Just behind Piccadilly.

The hot food is the biggest rip off and tastes extremely mediocre, and if you fill the hot food box up expect to pay £17. Yes £17 for food that tastes microwavable. They do fresh burritos and they are soo amazing and reasonably priced but please skip the hot food bar. The soups are bad too!!

A must-visit place if you want to eat better than just street food, without going to a restaurant. Ideal for flexitarians or vegetarians, many options exist, whether to eat on site (hot or cold), to take away, or even to do your shopping. The atmosphere is warm and the products are of excellent quality. Be careful with the prices, but nothing extravagant either.

A wonderful place to get fresh fruit with s fishmonger + they stock “Conscious chocolates”!!!

A beautiful selection of high quality products and fresh hot and cold food ready to eat

Great concept, healthy options good quality food place to sit outside to eat and go, Great coffee too!

I had an unsettling experience at Whole Foods in Soho today, which I feel compelled to share. As a Black man, unfortunately, I’m not unfamiliar with being treated differently in public spaces, but this experience was particularly disappointing. I entered the store with my partner, and we eventually separated to shop individually. Almost immediately, I noticed a security guard begin to follow me. Every time I stopped, he would stop close by, making it clear that I was under his watchful eye. When my partner approached me, the security guard greeted him with a “hi,” which I found strange, as no such greeting was extended to me. We continued shopping, and once again, after my partner and I separated, the security guard resumed his proximity to me. His demeanour was anything but friendly, and I felt like I was being treated as a suspect simply for being in the store. No one should feel humiliated or unwelcome while simply shopping, regardless of their background or appearance. As someone who has dedicated years to academia, holding a Master’s degree, a PhD, and having completed three postdoctoral research positions, now serving as a Senior Lecturer at one of the leading higher education institutions in the UK, it is incredibly disheartening that places like this still treat their clients based on racist stereotypes. A new addition to my “never-to-return” places. It’s a shame that in this day and age, a supermarket like Whole Foods would allow such behaviour to persist. Shame.

Amazing pizza by the slice.. trick is get the pizza straight from the oven.

50 gram of chicken 50 pounds and dry as ever. Don't waste your time thete

excellent Fresh fresh and a pleasant place

It is a supermarket with quality food, the prices are expensive.

The best supermarket, with really high-quality items. The prices are reasonable for city centre. Very well trained staff!

Really nice service and good products quality

Owned by Amazon... 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 Otherwise great selection of products, including more ethical brands. Not cheap, but to be fair mainly due to stocking products brands that are quite expensive

Expensive but great, organic food market / grocery store with gluten free vegan nut free etc options

The burrito station is the BOMB! We don't have that in Katy, Texas.

very practical and nice concept, the hot dishes made at will are however quite expensive in the end I found, for what it is, but it is still nice to have a hot dish available made as we do wish.

Enjoyed a vegan burrito 🌯 in the sun ☀️ Seating area outside & inside. Got a Seaveg snack too 😋

Love this shop my favourite for the organic food

Please decrease plastic packaging 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This place has a good selection of goods. Very expensive....there is not much farm food however there is a good amount of fresh food. I am always lured in by the tortilla chips and desserts

Remarkable range of food items. Very expensive and very busy.

Nice supermarket with a variety of products and hot food but the price is higher than other stores.

Very nice Whole Foods. Not a ton of selection, but nice

Friendly staff, very clean toilets and good variety of food.

The selection is good and the food from the food corner was tasty but the service and the behaviour of the security guard was appalling. We got food 10-15 minutes before what apparently was closing time and asked whether we can have it upstairs at the dining section and was told yes. 5 minutes after we went upstairs a security guard came upstairs and told us we need to leave NOW as that section is now closed. We explained we had asked downstairs and had bought food only a few minutes ago. He walked away and came back a minute later and told us that the store is now closed, and we need to leave, all of this while trying to intimate us by standing 5 centimeters away from us. He even went as far as saying we don't own the store so we need to do as we're told we asked to speak to the manager so he can walk away. By this point we had lost appetite already, so we threw away our food and walked out. The manager was by the door, we explained what had happened and all she could say was "Sorry" while waiting forward to lock the door after us. We left at 22:02 the store closes at 22:00. I would recommend you communicate to customers the closing times and close the dining area 10 minutes prior to the closing time of the store to avoid throwing people out half way through their meal. Maybe also train your staff not to be rude and disrespectful to customers. This was on the 04/07/24.

A great place for pizza and other hot food veg, non-veg and vegan

There are toilets, charging points, hot food, fruits, and freshly made drinks. Very convenient for tourists, especially in the city center

An oasis for those looking for something good and cheap in London

Homemade, quality and fresh food at a very good price

Lovely staff and good quality products . They were always really helpful , kind and communicative . All my questions were answered with knowledge.

Manchego cheese is not blue cheese. I have been a customer of WF for years, and this is the 2nd time in a month I've had a major issue with product quality control. You'd think for the price they would do the basics.

Terrible experience in this store in which employees allow themselves to express their political ideas in an explicit and offensive manner An employee, Soraya, greets you at the checkout with a scarf on her head resembling a keffiyeh and a Palestinian flag slung over her shoulder. So many symbols synonymous, for many customers, with the terrible atrocities of 07/10, destruction and hatred of Jews. To flee!

Have been a long term costumer at this lovely store and will never come back. They have an employee serving costumers with the keffiyeh around her head. Disgusting to see this is allowed inside this store !!!!!!!! It should be a neutral place where everyone is welcomed. REVOLTING Update 14/Jun: Your employee Soraya is using your store for spreading her political ideology. She is currently serving shocked clients with the flag at the till. Just right now. You have done nothing to solve this issue even when you were alerted 2 months ago. This store is a lovely place and you continue to allow this. Everyone should come to this store and feel welcome, it should be a neutral place. Revolting!

Lots of bio/organic food. Just be prepared to pay the price

I love whole foods. If I was rich I would shop here all the time.

"Always a very pleasant experience; I thoroughly enjoy shopping there."

Excellent shop selling edibles of all kinds, well selected. “Catering” counters for eating in or taking away. Highly recommended (note: address on High Street Kensington)

Best place to eat without having to give up a kidney.

My go to store whenever I’m central London. Has all the essentials I need. Wish they would open a store near East London

Staff are terribly rude. They stay in your way when you’re trying to view products (talking and laughing with colleagues with no concern about you) and treat customers with no respect. I’m not sure if this down to the colour of my skin (I sincerely hope not). I made a complaint by calling the manager and she was upset and said she would resolve.

Ridiculous prices. One medium sized pepper coated me over £1 and it wasn't even super fresh. But, sadly, I needed it and didn't have the time to go somewhere else

Bloody expensive and milk was off

Very clean and well sorted. A large selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. Good cheese selection. Overall, a very large selection of goods that are worth their price.

You can eat deli food at a reasonable price, including the burrito bowl and guacamole for just 9.9 pounds!

the place is not bad to consume ready-made food or buy food. However, I wanted to inform people who go to eat in the upper room to be very careful because people there have stolen our money and documents right there. Pay attention to who sits next to you! London is now the wild west!

A good variety of food and healthy indeed

Very nice self service restaurant. Employees are very friendly and helpful. Had a good time with tasty food

Really great store both for shopping and eating. Quality products and not that expensive when you think about the location, the city and the type of products (fresh/organic...). The store also offers food, I particularly recommend the burrito bowls which are excellent, inexpensive and healthy. You can get away with a burrito bowl, a drink and a yogurt for £11-12, a real complete meal for so little, it's almost unheard of in London.

The prepared cooked food is appalling.. It’s not as good as it was before Amazon took over.. I will never eat here again

It has a good high quality choice of vegan products like tofu. The organic bean tofu is a must. It is so clean and delicious.

Really enjoyed. Such a big range of foods and drinks.

Rude staff, cold food, crazy prices! I've been before, but won't be going back based on my last visit. A few points: I went in to get some hot food. Asked x3 staff for help, they were rude surley and unhelpful. In the end I gave up and asked a security guard who knew more about the produce than the team working there, seemingly! The soup I bought was cold watery, didn't come with bread and cost north of £7.00! On my way out I had the temerity to ask for some butter for my small, over priced, bread roll. The cashier just looked at me dumb founded before walking off. It's a shame because the produce and design of the store is nice, and the principal of bringing healthy ingredients to busy people is sound. But this is just badly done.

A nice super market for all the groceries / cosmetics etc. Their fresh food counter is amazing and quality is good. However, some items seem to be overpriced . Overall good

Very impressive array of fresh natural foods with seating outside

Very good place for lunch, a wide choice of cold and hot dishes to take away and a salad bar. Special mention for the broccoli/cheddar soup.

They don’t have enough staff for cleaning the shop

The quality of the 'fresh food' counter has fallen off a cliff. Previously you could enjoy fresh in house cooked food, now it is frozen, cheaper and therefore less nutritious and tasty imports. The people cooking even admit this. Absolute rip off prices too, plenty of alternatives around thankfully.

This place is absolutely amazing. So much choice of fresh organic food. The hot deli counter is very very good.

Warning! GMO food alert. A place called ‘whole foods’ shouldn’t be selling GMO foods. In more friendly news they seem to have fired the predator undercover security guard. All that aside, you can get some nice items here but the GMO issue can only get a 2 star.
