    Amazon Fresh gets mixed reviews. I like shopping there. They are not the least expensive grocery…read morestore, yet they are less than the local big box grocers. They are inconsistent in their stock - often gaps appear where something is out of stock. They also don't make it easy to find items where there are special needs, such as finding gluten-free items. Where they do have them, they are not localized in one area like you would find in other stores. We went in for a specific gluten-free item and just couldn't find it. We asked someone who works there and they said they didn't know where it was - that it could be anywhere. Regardless, I am usually able to find most of what we need. The discounts they apply to Amazon Prime members really helps, too.

    This isnt for amazon fresh theres no catalog for Amazon to be placed in therefore i must use this…read moreplatform to tell my story .. I am beyond disgusted and disappointed. Like most people, I order online regularly. Amazon has become the Walmart of online shopping--you click and buy. I'm a Prime member and order weekly, so I feel it's important to point out that as a Prime customer, I almost never receive my orders within the promised 48 hours. Yet every time I place an order, that delivery window is what's advertised. As usual, the driver marked the package as delivered and uploaded a photo. The problem? The photo was of a random fence. Not my home. Not my porch. A fence. And that was accepted as "proof of delivery." I'm livid. This isn't just a careless driver--this reflects Amazon's broken delivery process and poor hiring standards. Who thinks snapping a picture of a random fence counts as evidence? It's pure incompetence. To make things worse, when you try to get help, you're forced into a scripted chat system routed overseas, where the agents clearly aren't trained to actually troubleshoot real issues. After explaining that my delivery never arrived, Amazon offered me $5 as compensation. Five dollars--for items that cost more in shipping and tax alone. I spend my hard-earned money faithfully with this billion-dollar company, yet there's no real accountability, no genuine apology, and no urgency to fix repeated delays that stretch into weeks. Instead, they add insult to injury with a $5 offer, as if that somehow makes things right. So I want people to understand exactly how companies like this see you and your money. They don't value loyalty. They don't care about inconvenience. And they certainly don't care about the customer once they've already been paid.

    I rarely do reviews of grocery stores, especially the ones I regularly frequent however, I did feel…read moreobligated to do one for this particular Whole Foods. The reason I did is because I find that no matter what day or what time I come here luckily despite the very small constructed parking lot, I always find parking number two and another reason I really like this place is that I do my Amazon returns here and every time I show up here the line if there is one really moves quickly. Lastly, I really like this place because they're always stocked. It seems like to me at least and every time I come looking for something they always have exactly what I'm looking for regardless of whether it's fresh fish the specific scones I like from the bakery or trying to get some type of new organic gum mints. I will call out the reason that they are four-star is because they continually understaffed their checkout lanes, forcing us customer who already paying overpriced items to become temporary employees of Amazon and check ourselves out as well. I do not like self checkout, remove the self checkout.

    I ran in for a few of my Amazon returns. In the past, this was my favorite Whole Foods because the…read morebakery carried vegan items that no other Whole Foods does. However, they no longer offer vegan blueberry or vegan chocolate chip cupcakes. My husband loved their house made sourdough garlic bread, and I was sad to come home empty-handed. He was excited for it. While some are celebrating "Veganuary," I am making an attempt to go gluten-free in order to empathize with those with Celiac Disease. Very doubtful that I can do it. I did ask at the bakery about their vegan fresh pizza cheese, and the nice young man at the counter showed me what they use, and I took the photo posted below. There are MUCH better options for vegan cheese than what they offer. I would rather just go cheeseless on my pizza with lots of veggies. I have no reason to return unless I am in the area for an Amazon return.
