Whole Foods Market

I come here a lot for lunch. Their sandwich station is actually pretty underrated if you ask me. However, the service experience can really depend on when you come in & who takes your order. Sometimes they don’t handle the rush well, and the juice station has its quirks too. They now write your beverage code on a piece of paper for example, and require you to pay for the drink at the front register, then you must circle back to the juice area to prove your purchase. I feel like there’s probably a way to make this more convenient for customers, and less insulting.
My last constructive criticism would be for employees to do a better job cleaning off the dining tables, they’re almost always dirty… Despite their sometimes crazy parking lot, and occasionally packed food service area, it’s still nice having a Whole Foods in this area.

Whole foods have good organic items if you wanna pay their ridiculously expensive stuffs. Id rather go to Trader Joe’s which has a friendlier athmosphere. Their pizza is ok i guess and the coffee selections are good yet again if u wanna pay the high price

I’m so happy to have a whole foods down the street from my house! I am disappointed though that my old local whole foods in Westwood was tiny and had a taco bar, a juice station and the buffet food was always fresh and labeled. The staff is always friendly and helpful though. Please add a taco bar and make sure the prepared foods are maintained better.

Love my trip here today! The staff was so helpful and readily available!
A lovely gal named Jessica helped me find some vitamins and supplements to try to get my body back to functioning properly! I have been sick for almost a month! She listen to my needs and took time to really have a conversation about what she uses and what she thinks would be good for me and why! She was wonderful and I am really hoping these work! (Also what she said about probiotics being live cultures so Ideally you would buy them cold/​refrigerated made total sense –and why they are so important especially now that I don’t eat yogurt like activia any more)
I wondered the isles and found some great new vegan items and even got some Jack fruit which I have been dying to try!
Thanks whole foods team for a great experience! From entering to checking out it was fabulous!

This location is exceptionally busy, and it always seems to be a hit and miss when he comes to professional quality service. Everyone is generally friendly, there have been a few times I’ve come in and been disappointed with their staff who avoids eye contact with customers while hurrying in the isles. (Especially in vitamin isle…) Otherwise, this store had so much to offer with quality products that I would shop here again. And the deli turkey avocado is amazing on toasted sourdough with that aioli!

This review is for the bakery in this Whole Foods. I have had a few bad experiences now with cakes/​pastries from this bakery. I have even had to return a cake once because it tasted old and dry. After my last experience, where I bought pastries to take to a friend’s house and found mold in the éclair, I will never buy anything from this bakery again. It was pretty gross and embarrassing to serve my friends dessert with mold in it.

This is my local Whole Foods, and also my least favorite location (sucks to be me). I guess I never really noticed the quality discrepancy between different Whole Foods branches until I moved to the Westside a few years ago and began frequenting the Venice location. That location is the gold standard of Whole Foods — they have a giant inventory, the prepared foods are always awesome (especially the sushi), and they have unique stations (like a gelato bar and a taco stand, in addition to the standard bakery and deli).
But Woodland Hills falls short. Inventory is pretty good overall (especially considering that this location is relatively small), but the prepared food section at this Whole Foods is PROFOUNDLY disappointing. Their sushi is particularly mediocre — for some reason, this Whole Foods has the worst quality fish I’ve encountered at any location. Whoever is responsible for the prepared foods section at this location needs to be schooled in quality control and stop cutting corners. I won’t even bother with their hot foods section — nothing ever looks fresh, just unappetizing and dry (from being under the heat lamps for way too long).
The service is the only saving grace, hence the extra star. Just about everyone who works here, from the butchers to the bakers to the cashiers to the sushi chefs, is always super friendly and helpful. But if I had a choice, I’d still pick any other Whole Foods over this one. Here’s hoping this location might step up their game and get on the level of their other locations one day. In the meantime, I advise you to come here for the organic/​specialty food essentials, but steer clear of the prepared foods.

This is my most frequented Whole Foods mainly due to proximity even though there is a larger newer location the opposite way. I’ve always felt the staff here to be helpful and polite. The cheese selections are nice and sometimes have samples available. I guess my only gripe is how cramped the aisles can be. It’s not uncommon to have to duck and dive by other shoppers while trying to locate that pack of Cilantro Quinoa. The parking lot spaces are a bit tight in the lot here so watch out for door dings.

This is our local Whole Foods. We prefer this one over Tarzana just because it’s easier to get in and out of. My toddler and I can get in and out of this location in 10 minutes.
Don’t think this location should be compared to the newer stores, that were built in the last few years. This is an older store, but that’s what makes Woodland Hills easy for us. Small and just what we need for our weekly trip to the grocery store.

I saw Ryan Gosling at Erewhon and he’s not my favorite person I saw at a grocery store today, Ana Elsa is! Love this location and the people here are absolutely wonderful. The handcrafted wraps and sandwiches are delicious.

I really like whole foods market. I used to live by whole foods 3d st and fairfax ave in Los Angeles. I recently moved to woodland hills, ca and the whole foods here is a disappointment in prepared foods /​hot bar department.
In my opinion enforcement of quality control needs to be done in this store.
1. Food tags with ingredients are missing.
And when I ask someone from the department about what’s in there, nobody can give me a precise answer. It takes forever to find the name tag.
2. This morning there were no oats prepared. That’s usually my breakfast and whole foods on fairfax never had those flaws. I asked responsible person for today’s preparations. He said that it came out bad that’s why he didn’t put it out. That’s not really a solution. If it went bed — cook another batch.
3. Another day there were no fruits.
4. One day it was olive oil missing.
6. Some days all dishes are cooked with rice. And there is no alternative. Maybe add butternut squash or acorn squash or sweet potatoes.
Again, fairfax whole foods never had those problems.
Please investigate.
Thank you.

I’m writing this review for the pastry department only. I can’t thank Fresene and Jasmine enough for customizing a beautiful and delicious 2-​tier wedding cake for me. They were really easy to work with and did a beautiful job. The cake was delicious! I had requested really simple decorating because we planned to add plants to decorate the cake. The price was really affordable too, since they charged me for each of the layers. We loved their work so much that my sister in-​law also decided to get a two tier cake for her wedding here. Thank you, Fresene, for making my day so special.

Very good selection, although it’s easy to get lost in this cavernous location. I prefer Beverly Hills Whole Foods — easier to navigate.

I come to this whole foods the most because it’s the closest to my house. It’s not the biggest, prettiest, or cleanest whole foods in the area, but I like how easy it is to get here. Super close to the freeway exit and entrance from the 101, and a nice sized parking lot. They have all your delicious fruits and veggies, as well as bulk goods. I get all my vitamins here and love their smoothie bar. Good news is they still give you stamp cards for their juice bar! They just renovated their hot food section and expanded another counter. Good mix: salads, fish, chicken, Indian food, tofu, soups. My only dislike about this whole foods is their refrigerated cold drink section. It is super tiny and they barely have any good drinks. Besides that, love that they’re open until 10 pm! Perfect for those late night grocery trips!

The main reason I come here is because it’s conveniently located. This will change once I find a better alternative. The parking situation is ridiculous and they need to do something with the loose shopping carts. Funny enough, some items are cheaper than they are at Ralph’s. For me, it’s just OKAY at best.

Ample and convenient parking.
Love all the organic selections, vegetarian options… and my current obsession is the salad bar! Tons of fresh ingredients plus the hot food is also amazing.
For breakfast they have this scrumptious baked French toast! Their tex-​mex quinoa and Mac and cheese is also delicious!

This is my favorite whole foods market. It is really stocked up and has so many great items for one to eat. They also carry flowers, clothing, vitamins, medicines, bakery, coffee shop and hot/​cold food area. You are able to eat inside or outside which is great since I work really close by and on occasions will leave the stuffiness of the office to get some fresh air. I wanted to point out the bakery in particular because I have been to quite a few other whole foods but none have satisfied my sweet tooth like this one. It is only open till 10 p.m.

A nice, smaller WF experience for ya’ll is going on here! All the same niceties you’re used to, a nice dining terrace, halfway decent parking…
That’s the only drawback– how you get in and out. If you’re on Ventura or Canoga and have to do the dreaded left, it’s almost impossible (especially Canoga with a freeway on ramp right there…) but if you’re turning right off Ventura or Canoga you’re golden! (You’re golden anyhow, who are we kiddin’? :))
Friendly staffers and short lines make it a plus. See ya there!

I love Whole Foods! Ever since I lived in Chicago and shopped at the Evanston store I was hooked. There’s something magical about Whole Foods… the great food selections, vegetarian options and the way they display their produce. As an organized Libra I suppose it’s a perfect match!
I’ve been to many Whole Foods Stores but by far my favorite is in Woodland Hills. Hey there weren’t any between Ojai and LA so there you go! I do like the new Oxnard store but not a great selection on their vegan deli items.
Today I ventured to Whole Foods Woodland Hills and I have to say they’re employees are very cheerful! My favorite Deli person is Marla! She started singing old tunes and let me tell you she belongs on Broadway!
How cool is that! Her co-​worker Frank sang along too… I’m not allowed to sing in any state… hahahaa!
Anyway get to Whole Foods… eat clean… get a song and maybe a dance… but definitely genuine greetings from happy people!
Big Hugs Whole Foods! Big Hugs!

Not my favorite location and the parking lot sucks. It’s small and cramped inside the store as well. The juice bar is always out of stuff, never fails.
I just must know why the precut pineapples are about $ 2 MORE & the sizes are smaller compared to the Tarzana location??? I can get a large size at Tarzana for the same price as the small one here –_​– makes no freakin sense.
