There's a Trader Joe's down the street, and everything is half the price of Whole Foods and the…read moreemployees are really nice and helpful. At WF, the hot bar and seafood closes at 7PM now. Not officially, but they put everything up at that time. All of the non-self service areas are unstaffed after 7PM as well, except for meat. I was curious if that was on purpose and the employees response was "7PM is pretty late to be having dinner." The person behind the counter said the salad/hot bar is mostly a lunch thing, not a dinner thing. That makes sense, but don't come to WF hungry for dinner or you'll be disappointed. The North and South Central Markets have better food, nicer employees and cheaper prices.

This is the OG Whole Foods and it remains one of the best! There is surface parking in front but…read moresave yourself the hassle and take advantage of the multi-level underground parking. Keeps your car cooler in the Texas heat and there are shopping cart friendly escalators to get your groceries easily back to the car. The produce selection at this Whole Foods is insane! Any type of produce that you could want or need can be found in either traditional or organic format. They also have an extensive seafood counter with very knowledgeable staff to help you make a selection. With a dedicated area for fresh sushi, a barbecue selection, freshly made sandwiches, prepared foods, a hot bar, and a salad bar all of your grocery needs can be met here. At the front of the store, there's also a fantastic coffee bar so you can remain caffeinated while you shop. They're seating area if you pick up a little something and want to have a bite to eat before or after you get your groceries. There's additional seating upstairs as well as an outdoor area. If you are an Amazon prime member, be sure to shop the sales to save a little bit of money. Weekly specials are designated with a yellow tag, and it shows the sale price as well as the further reduced price for Amazon prime members. And if you are a tourist visiting Austin, one of the more Instagram-able photo stops is at the corner in front of Whole Foods...the ATX sign.

I need Diet Coke and food that is bad for me too. We come here probably once or twice a week. The Amazon return center is super convenient. There's a self serve kiosk too. Major plus. Our second stop is juice land and then the hot bar & salad bar. I like being able to make a "girl dinner" lunch with a couple of bites worth of several things. We typically go to the roof to eat and to let the kids run around the playscape. If anyyyyy corporate Whole Foods people are reading this- can we please update the play area? Maybe add to it? Or make it toddler friendly? I know I'm being picky we just come so much and it would be a dream update.

So I came here as part of a Yelp event but the event page disappeared long ago so I'm not sure how…read moreto leave a review specific to that... but just in regards to my experience having a consultation at peoples rx wellness department, I have nothing bad to say! I was greeted and seen promptly for the appointment, and I received a body scan using one of their machines which gives a print out of personal stats including body fat and muscle content, water content, etc. It was really fun to learn a little more about myself and my physical distribution. I also received a recommendation for a supplement to help with mild appetite suppression and fat burn which I am indeed curious to try. On a side note - I didn't look through all the pharmacy items because I was short on time but BOY did they have a selection in there! You have to be careful about just starting new meds because they can interact with prescription medications, but if you got a supplement cleared with your doctor, I'm fairly sure this place would have it. They also have ample parking out front, and are easy to find right off north Lamar.

They are THE place to get your pet's compounded medicines in Austin, but I'm really irked that they…read moresell homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy (not herbal medicine or traditional medicine) is a scam. The "medicine" is water. A pharmacy is a place where we go to get reputable medications from educated medical professionals, not to be ripped off buying scam water. Selling these things is NOT harmless or neutral. People's Pharmacy, you are harming patients. It is unethical to sell homeopathy. Do not reply to my review with anything other than "We're removing homeopathy from our shelves," because I will not change my mind on this. Because of this, and the fact that they're slow AF, I get my cat's meds compounded at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in Kentucky unless it's an absolute emergency. Kentucky has the cheap drugs for some reason.

Treat yourself and nourish your body with delicious raw foods. We were a party of six and were able…read moreto try several dishes, including dessert. Everything was fresh and delicious. Pre-packaged meals and drinks are available to grab from the refrigerators as well if you are just running by. If not, there is a small indoor seating nook with tall seating. I didn't love the Brilliant Brain as I could taste the stevia, and the desserts we tried were ok. The blueberry lavender cheesecake was heavy on the lavender. I will return to try others.

For the incredible depth and breadth of Austin's culinary options, there's been one glaring…read moreomission from the scene: raw foods. That's finally changed with the arrival of Conscious Kitchen ATX, a new wholesome oasis in West Lake Hills. Opened just three weeks ago, it's already redefining what it means to eat well and be well. Nuts and seeds form the incredibly hearty foundation for most meals, like the pizza slathered with pesto and sun-dried tomato sauce, veggie burgers that use two patties instead of buns, and hefty breads that could double as savory granola bars. I was treated to a sampler platter because I always need a little taste of everything. Try to save room for dessert though, because these creamy creations are something else. My favorite was the coffee cake, which actually relies on chicory root to impart a caffeine-free latte-like flavor. Conscious Kitchen isn't just filling a gap in the local food scene, it's rewriting the script on what healthy eating taste like. The proof is on the plate that raw food can be decadent and crave-worthy, too.

Each one is amazing and that alone made the trip worthwhile. Happy Vegan, when will you open a food truck?! Strangely, the Happy Vegan booth was located off on its own, not with all the other food vendors. It would have been really helpful if the booth layout was a bit more organized for vendor types. My favorites were the vegan marshmallows (100% true to form) and vegan honey (delicious with a subtle apple flavor). Sweet Ritual ice cream was also really really good. VegFest let me easily sample several local vegan vendors that I had never been to, and if you can go with friends it's even easier to buy one item and split across everyone. Samples were plentiful, and they really packed a large number of different vendors in. I understand this was only the third VegFest, but their choice of vendors was odd at times. Overall, I really expected to see more of the whole-food based hot food options like Happy Vegan and Aster's. Overall, it was carb and fake-meat heavy, very commercialized. I'd like to see more whole food options and and less processed food and supplements. Put in some things like people selling herbs in pots, perfect for any vegan. I visited the Zilker Garden festival the week before and Texas VegFest would benefit from a good dose of "garden festival" and "farmer's market". I'd really love to see them expand to both Saturday and Sunday, too, as is typical for Austin festivals. A yummy way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

I promise- I am not a paid spokeswoman. But.. I'm open to the offer, Boundless Nutrition…read more A few weeks ago, I noticed the "Perfect Cookie" popping up at HEBs and Whole Foods around town. PERFECT?! Intriguing! The linguistics alone sold me. 20% of your daily recommended protein. Ingredients that I UNDERSTAND. That I would actually cook with. Very little sugar, gluten free... basically a protein bar that is way more delicious and lacks any weird shit I've never heard of. When I visited Whole Foods the other day, they were giving free samples of a protein bar. I countered with, "But have you tried The Perfect Cookie?" And began an uncharacteristically promotional rant. I think I convinced her. Yes, these facts are interesting but OH MY GOD. The flavor! I adore Grandma's Cookies (the brand) and this tastes EXACTLY like Grandma's.. but I don't feel horrible when I eat five. So dense and soft and decadent. I've tried all three flavors (macadamia nut and white chocolate, chocolate chip, and peanut butter) WAY too many times in the month since I've discovered this bliss and they are all fantastic. Why you gotta make cookies seem so harmless and good for me? THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT. The HEB 20% off coupon isn't helping either.

Boundless Nutrition is a family owned and operated Austin company that makes two healthy products,…read morePerfect Fit Protein Cookie and Oatmega Bar. I have not tried the cookies but the Oatmega Bars are awesome. When I don't have time for a sit down meal post workout I will occasionally pick up an Oatmega Bar from either Snap Kitchen or MyFit Foods. I usually cannot stand the chalky meh taste of "healthy" bars or they have more calories than I want. While I am not a fan of how their Dark Chocolate Peanut bar tastes, the Vanilla Almond is heavenly and the Dark Chocolate Mint tastes just like a Girl Scout thin mint cookie. All the bars are 190 calories, have 14 grams of protein, gluten free, have antioxidants from green tea and are loaded with omega 3s. Some of the ingredients include grass-fed whey protein, organic brown rice, organic raisins, non-GMO sunflower lecithin but warning to the vegetarians it does contain fish oils. They do not have a storefront but you can purchase a box online. They are also carried at some HEBs, Central Market, Fresh Plus, and I have seen them at some of the Snap Kitchens and MyFit Foods locations.

I recently picked up an order from Too Good To Go here and unfortunately was majorly disappointed…read more The food smelled rotten and while it packed a punch with the heat, there was minimal seasoning so it was spicy but not spiced. I've been to other SNAP Kitchens and loved the food, so I'm not sure why the quality here was so much lower than I expected. I understand that the program is to help avoid food waste so the items won't be the freshest, but I still expect tasty food. Maybe it's just the items I received, but I don't think I'll visit this particular location again. That said, I LOVE that everything SNAP Kitchens offer is gluten free, especially since I know I can eat everything they offer. The food is usually delicious, but I'd probably avoid the Bison Quinoa... The location is super convenient with the location and there is short-term parking available both in front and to the side. It almost feels like a little market or corner store with everything being organized and feeling bright and fresh. And again, I love the concept and most of the food, so it was just a miss with this location for me. There's another location in South Austin that is freaking amazing and I've never had issues there.
