Whole Foods Market

I live not far from Whole Foods. This is one of my favorite places. I go to this store almost every day. I try to adhere to proper nutrition and Whole Foods helps me in it.
This store has a good choice of products. Here you can buy a high quality organic food at affordable prices. All products are always fresh. The stuff is amiable and polite.
Practically all of my friends also buy food in this grocery. I highly recommend Whole Foods to everyone.

Smallish whole foods — actually a good thing. Less intimidating than a larger WF store.

Some people come here for organic fruits and vegetables. Turns out, I come to Whole Foods almost exclusively for desserts. So, this is a review mainly on their bakery. After a few years in Houston, I’ve come to learn that WF is one of my few dependable dessert spots, plus it’s the only one with multiple locations and convenient hours. The prices for groceries and other things are still pretty ridiculous, which is why I haven’t added a star. You can get your organic produce at many other stores for cheaper these days, and cheese is still way cheaper at Trader Joe’s. BUT if you have a sweet tooth, WF is solid. The serve-​yourself cookie bar is super fun and kills time with the toddler. The classic brownies are good bittersweet chocolate, and a nice balance between cakey and fudgey. The berry chantilly cake is packed with quality berries. The carrot cake may be one of the best in the city (if you like nuts and cream cheese frosting). I am super picky about tiramisu, and theirs is actually pretty good.
I have also come to learn that different WF bakeries can make things differently. Not the cakes, as those seem to be pretty standard recipe throughout the locations I’ve frequented. This location’s blueberry muffins are better than others (Waugh, Kirby and Post Oak) — larger, great overspillage on the muffin top, and very generous with the crumble. However, I like the breads better at Kirby or Post Oak — more variety, better stock.
fyi this is not the location where I buy Petit Suisse Montebourg, the tiny cups filled with a fresh, fruity cross between cheese and yogurt. They only have those at Kirby, and sometimes Post Oak.
The seating area is better than Kirby, in that you can usually find seats, and it’s great to sit the kid in front of the fish tank. But it’s also stuffed in a dark corner far away from the bar, so my husband does not like to sit back there during our craving runs (beer for him, sweets for the rest of us) and we end up trying to squeeze into their small bar area. If you’re looking to sit and savor, go to Post Oak.

Great selection! Decent prices. just wish they have a location closer to home in Clear Lake area!!!

One of my favorite Whole Foods location. It’s not as crowded as the other locations. The produce is always fresh and their breakfast tacos are AMAZING! The staff is very friendly. There’s always plenty of parking available.

Expensive!!! Great home made pjes. Organic everything. The pie crust on their fruit pjez is to die for.

I stop by this Whole Foods location just about every day! I know I can pick up not only organic, but the best quality products when I buy fresh produce, seafood, beef and poultry!
I also am addicted (literally) to their bulk dark chocolate toffee covered peanuts. as I have to stop by there to pick some up daily (Shhhh don’t tell my personal trainer)! LOL
This location was recently remodeled and the layout has certainly improved especially in the bakery area where the breakfast pastries and cookies and brownies are so much easier to see in the open layout.
I find everyone who works at this location so friendly and helpful and the check out lanes are pretty fast too.
I highly recommend if you live in the Bellaire, Meyerland, West U areas, to shop here, especially if you are looking for the best quality in everything you buy «every time» you shop for your groceries!

Fair prices for high quality, jubilant staff, and thoughtfully curated goods. Faves: house-​pressed green juices, any SALE produce n supplements, processed foods with exotic ingredients, and trans fat FREE baked treats.

Whole foods is in my neighborhood so we usually shop here for healthy organic ingredients. It can be expensive but worth it. They have a large selection of all foods. They also have a pizza bar, sandwich station, salad bar, prepared foods where you can pick things. It is a very clean and friendly place. They also have a bakery with fresh bread and sweets.
The one complaint I have here is that some of the staff can be very rude. One time a cashier never looked at me or smiled and just muttered my total. Another time I picked up a sample and asked what was in it and the woman said «mozzarella» in a tone that implied I was uneducated. Another employee replied «uh mustards mixed in obviously» when I asked why the mayonnaise wasn’t it’s original color.
You can sample anything and it’s a very good grocery store besides the staff. It is also in a great location.

Unfortunately for our budget we treat this place as our walk to neighborhood store. We rely on it for essentials like milk, eggs and bread. A while ago they revamped the beer and wine bar and it is definitely an improvement. It is smaller than other whole foods but that doesn’t bother us much because we just can’t buy everything there. They have a neat greeting card area and nice assortment of flowers. My only wish is if they could only brew more decaf tea for people who are stuck having only one caffeinated drink per day.

Average as far as Whole Foods go. It has good quality produce etc that you would expect from Whole Foods, but the prepared food is lacking.
The hot food options are disappointing — not as many options as others and they don’t taste very good. On top of that, I was there after 7pm one day and many of the trays were empty. I was hoping to pick up a hot dinner for the family since I had been running late, so it was upsetting that things were empty when I needed them the most.
Also, I wish they would reallocate some space so there’s room for a sandwich bar.

This Whole Foods location is the closest to my house compared to the others so when I want to pick up some organic fruit or healthy lunch, this is the place.
However, as I started venturing out to other Whole Food locations like the one in Sugar Land and Post Oak, I began to realize how limited this Bellaire location is. Yes, the parking isn’t as fancy as the Post Oak one, not a big deal. However, it got annoying when I noticed that they didn’t carry the same items. I found myself having to go to more than one location just to complete my grocery shopping.
As for the hot food bar, I’d say that I typically stop by at least once every week or two for lunch. I slowly began to notice over the past 9 months how their food selection was reduced by half and instead of rotating the menu, I’d see the same offerings two days in a row. Even their shelves in the cold dessert area began to look bare with a couple of slices of cakes here and there, and they didn’t look fresh either.
I’m not sure if this is them being impacted by the new Whole Foods on Post Oak or the huge HEB that just recently opened, but it makes me sad to say that I’ll have to drive further just to satisfy my Whole Foods cravings that I was once able to nip in the butt in less than 5 minutes.
Why is Whole Foods doing this to themselves?! And to me?

I recently came here to look for a special herbal tea where you can’t find in a regular grocery store. The place is clean and the staff are very friendly. I normally don’t like grocery shopping. Bu this place was so clean and everything was well organized.
They have a food bar which is amazing! So delicious. It’s good if you work around the area and come here for lunch. A little pricey, but worth it.
I recently bought these dried kale chips, and hmm. how to put this elegantly. «It was disgusting».
Yes. Very disgusting. It looked good from the package but once you put it in your mouth. errkk! So I went back to whole foods seeing if I could return them. (They were $ 9.99) Pretty expensive! The sales associate was so kind and just accepted the return with no questions ask! Great customer service and she even recommended another brand that taste a lot better.

Great location near the Medical Center and Rice Village. It’s not as large as the the Upper Kirby store; however, the essentials are there with a great selection of organic and GMO free products.
The parking lot may get a little tight on the weekends and high traffic hours because it’s in a tiny plaza shared with other businesses. Sometimes you may have to wait for a space to open up.
The bakery, coffeeshop, prepared foods and salad bar are done on a smaller scale, but the food remains delicious.

Came here to get coffee with my brother. The coffee was done just fine. One of the baristas was very unfriendly while the other, with a little coaxing, warmed up.
I love coffee and I’ve been in many shops but rarely get treatment like this.

Smaller store than the upper Kirby location thus they lack a lite in selection sometimes… still happy to have this location in our side of town!
I have recently become aware of the effects of GMO foods… taking note of this I have decided to go purely organic and refrain from ingesting GMO’s.
While HEB, Kroger and even Costco carry some USDA organic or GMO free verified products, no one quite does it like Whole Foods…
While not ALL products here are organic this is pretty much the the Mecca of ‘GMO free’. They carry everything from organic soy sauce and spices to fruits, veggies and coffees.
Love the selection of organic/​GMO free products and love how there are so many locations… do not love the prices as they tend to be significantly higher than Costco/​Kroger/​HEB…
Whole foods is a great grocery store that delivers premium foods and food choices! This is closest location to my home so I come here often.

I was sick and just flat out miserable. I didn’t want meds so I decided to come here for my vitamin needs. Whole Foods had every vitamin I was looking for along with other homeopathic items. I was so happy they had all I needed that I completely ignored the prices. The gentleman that was helping me was so kind and I was just so wrapped up in being grateful because I just knew these vitamins would save me. Until I got to check out… that’s when I realized that my six items were $ 80…I think that cleared my congestion lol. I came back to my senses and got what I needed not wanted lol. Either way this store had everything I needed and the sales team were extremely helpful.

I love Whole Foods period. It’s that store you go to find things that you don’t see at regular grocery stores. Yea, they’re pricier than regular grocers but it is what it is.
Now some whole foods are better than others, this one doesn’t have that «wow» factor that some of the newer ones have, but it’s not bad at all. And I think that’s because it might have been another grocery store before becoming Whole Foods Vs. Being built as one from the beginning.
The store feels a little small when going in, and I’m sure it might have a smaller inventory than larger locations, but it definitely isn’t lacking any of the items that I need; so I couldn’t even tell you what they didn’t have that other locations did.
The parking lot sometimes is pretty full, but never to the point where there is absolutely no parking at all. And I actually think that there might be parking in the rear.
Good customer service, great neighborhood store.

Still one of the best places in Houston to shop for groceries. Wonderful fresh fruits and veggies and a wide assortment of one-​off, specialty, vegan, vegetarian and seafood items. Choose carefully and you won’t break the bank.
Salad bar, wine bar, coffee bar, and in-​house deli and pizzeria make this location a gem. Can go wrong with two slices of pizza for $ 5. Seriously, that’s worth the pride of admission by itself.
Be sure to check out their baked goods for a sweet treat before you leave. Go ahead. You deserve it.
Excellent staff and customer service.

From the outside, I didn’t think this was a nice Whole Foods as it doesn’t look as exciting as the fancy new ones with the shops and droves of young people drinking Kale smoothies, but it’s actually very nice with a big selection of ready made foods for lunch or whatever.
Pricewise, yeah, it’s Whole Foods.
