The Taproom is a wine bar with some beers and a restaurant with in the Whole Foods Market. If we were not on our lunch break we would've definitely tried some of the flights. The tap room is located to your left front corner of Whole Foods and has a double door leading onto the patio with seating to your left with the front main entrance to your right. These two entrances do create a draft for the indoor seating and on the day that we were there it was particularly cold. I was wishing I had a jacket, but it does keep people from lingering.
On a recent visit to Whole Foods, my coworker and I had asked the friendly cashier what his favorite item to eat was and he mentioned the hamburgers at the Taproom.
On our foodie lunch quest we decided to try the hamburgers out and he was not wrong, the hamburgers are very good. However they do take a long time to make and if you're there for lunch like we were, this meant that we had to gobble our hamburgers up to make it back to work within an hour. It was a good thing we didn't order any sides!
The ground beef was fresh, the burgers are made to order and they did not skimp on the meat. My burger was at least an inch thick with lots of bacon piled on top. It had a great taste with a nice charred exterior while still being moist in the middle. Condiments are taken from the sandwich bar which ensures they're also fresh. I asked for garlic aioli instead of barbecue sauce for my burger and did not taste any garlic in the sauce, I think she may have goofed and had given me plain mayo instead. For $10 for the burger only it's not cheap, but it will fill you up.
Next time we go we've decided that we will call our order in ahead of time and get a basket of fries to share. For $3 you get a heaping basket of fries that you can definitely share between two people. read more
