Good for Gluten free choices and Healthy Choices

By Helene H |

I have been a regular customer of Whole Foods for quite awhile. I was just there a few days ago. Great store for finding gluten free foods such as frozen entrees, pizza, and gluten free bakery in their Scratch Bakery Dept. If you need a quick eat, they have a good selection of protein and snack bars, too. Produce and Fruits are good with a fair selection of organic. Parking available in the lot directly across the street from their entrance or even easier...in their underground parking garage.

Lots of choice and can be good value

By justwanna_TA |

Whole Foods offers a buffet style wealth of different hot and cold cuisine to tempt the pallet. It can be easy to get a bit carried away with putting different things on one's plate and end up with a big bill though! Also, towards the end of the meal time, choice can be reduced as things run out. Overall a very convenient and cost effective dining option - be interesting to see if this changes with the Amazon acquisition.

Great location & exactly what you'd expect @ Whole Foods!

By travelmomwith2teens |

Their selection and service are a given....a 'home away from home' while on travel. Selection, service, store layout = a winner!

helpful staff- clean friendly store at a perfect location in downtown Seattle

By Jim K |

Always find what I need and a great fresh sandwich bar with hot soup and salads and fresh flowers. We always find what we need.

Convenient breakfast

By 198ernesty |

We stayed at Pan Pacific Hotel for two nights and had convenient breakfasts at the Whole Food supermarket which was located next to the hotel.Their muffins were fantastic ,crispy on top and moist and fresh inside. They had hot breakfast available in the form of eggs scrambled,bacon ,potatoes and biscuits.

Fantastic Buffet

By Laurie T |

We walked to Whole Foods from our hotel to eat a healthy salad while we were in Seattle. The variety was huge with many different options from pizza, sandwich, sushi, salad, and soups. The food was so good we ended up going for breakfast the next day too. We especially loved the greek yogurt. The best we have ever had!!! Would definitely recommend.

healthy, convenient options

By kate554433 |

Convenient location with lots of healthy take out options and a coffee/juice bar. Note that there is a lunch time crowd, so try to plan accordingly. Not the cheapest, but good food quality.

Great location next to the Pan Pacific hotel

By travelnuts34655 |

A great variety of ready to eat foods, coffees, smoothies and even a great stop for any travel toiletries you may need.

Good food, snack options, great location

By M S |

I have been traveling regularly to Seattle and this is my go to place for food at least once/twice for 3 day trip - good food options -lines can be longer at noon but they move fast - great snack options too - I grab my milk, fruits, cake etc late night snacks here before heading to hotel - location is awesome

more than groceries

By Mr J |

When traveling I often stop here for excellent sandwiches or wine or beer to entertain with. It is a great resource.

Yum !!

By Kimmie M |

Located in the Maui about 10 minuets from the airport you will find WF ! It’s not like ours in Seattle it’s a little cooler the way I envision WF starting out! I mean it has to compete with Mana Foods in Paia! And that’s a tough act to follow! Prices are good people are nice! Get the Mochies !! They are yummmmmy

GREAT WFs!

By CARheartsTravel |

this is a large Whole Foods with a HUGE selection of beautiful produce and a wonderful bakery. Lots of cashiers, so never had a long wait to check out, no matter how busy. Lots of people though, so sometimes VERY crowded.

An expensive oasis of quality food

By Tom L |

Clean and everything we needed. We wanted some fresh fruit and healthy food but all we could find was Marlboro and cheap wine at the corner stores near our hotel. So we hiked to whole food where the armed guard at the door ensured a peaceful shopping experience from the crazies in the streets.

Great market - close to our hotel

By Jashas74 |

This is everything we've come to expect from a Whole Foods. Clean and convenient. It was close to our hotel which was a plus!

Fantastic Fresh Family-Friendly Food

By thesoulartist |

More expensive than traditional grocery stores but cheaper than a restaurant, Whole Foods has a wonderful selection of prepared foods. While it's great to visit every possible dining establishment while traveling, the costs can really add up. It certainly came in handy to have a Whole Foods near our hotel while we were staying in Seattle. Our hotel had a fridge and microwave, so we were able to splurge on sightseeing while saving on food. I had a container of rice, peppers, and three good-sized pieces of salmon for less than $10 and was able to get 2 meals out of it. My daughter had a very generously-portioned Caesar Salad which also provided more than one meal. We got fresh fruit for breakfast and picked up some great, healthy snacks to have on hand while touring. The wine selection was also great for tourists as they had single-serve, boxed, and twist cap selections. At the front of the store, we were able to nab napkins, plastic utensils, and cups to complete our meals.

Very Good Staff and Selection. Great location.

By Mop335 |

Have been to many different Whole Foods in many states. Very happy with this location, and have visited multiple times: -Large hot bar, prepared foods, salad bar, etc -Very helpful and courteous staff -Many checkout lines with an express checkout -Clean and well stocked in all departments -Only downside is limited street level parking, with inconvenient garage parking. They do validate for free parking during weekdays. Thanks!

Best Whole Foods!

By Sugarprincess77 |

Great produce. Wonderful vitamin selection and very friendly staff willing to spend time and help you pick out the right vitamins for you.

Just great

By Stephenbkk20156 |

I wanted to show my friends a well-stocked American supermarket. This place was just right. We spent a couple of hours here, examining the merchandise and the displays, buying, buying, buying, having lunch, a little over-awed. A nice feature is the lunch are inside where you can sit and eat food you just bought - a great meeting place for the group. Staff were very understanding and helpfully, especially in the build-your-own sandwich area. Quite rightly, a member of staff stopped me (politely) and asked why I was taking pictures in the store. They seemed satisfied with my an explanation. Looked like a great place if you just want lunch, too.

Our saviour in seattle

By Preefab |

With so many dietary requirements whole foods was our saviour in Seattle. It was open all day and there was such a variety of salads, hot foods and speciality counters (Mexican, pizza, Asian). We visited a couple of times - lunch and dinner. So much choice for all the family and good quality food. What’s not to like? Some complain about prices but $30 for lunch or dinner for 3 people is good value for the amount of choice available Plenty of vegan and whole food plant based options

Mother of a store!

By Joyce R |

This WF serves folks from Amazon, Microsoft, Gates Fdn., etc employees downtown as well as folks who are regular WF shoppers who want the most variety and quantities of healthy , organic food. LOVE the pizza, custom made in their ovens the most! I don't live in Seattle but when I get to Seattle... The biggest and best WF store is on my list! The parking is very convenient, right in the building. The employees are most helpful and even though assigned to departments, will walk you to a product you may be searching for. The staff teamwork is evident providing the best in customer service. The prices are higher than regular stores, but this no regular chain. The homework has been done on organic authenticity.

Come for lunch!

By Jazlynn |

In Whole Foods, i would come here for lunch. The sections are good, and have ready to-go foods. It is a good place to come to if you are vegan, gluten free, etc. They have lots of choices, and foods.

Whole Foods Market

By Tim R |

This is every urban dweller's dream - a full service grocery within walking distance of their home. It can be done.

Great selection

By trekie86 |

I usually get breakfast or lunch here while on business. They have a great selection that is well stocked. At lunch be prepared for lines...this place gets packed.

A nice place to grab food for your trainride ...

By Bryan H |

Since we were headed on the 6:05 p.m. train south, and would be on the train until almost 10:00 p.m., we walked to this convenient Whole Foods to get our dinner for later in the evening. While the salad and hot food bar looked impressive, the fresh deli foods were a bit disappointing. Even though it was an early hour on a Sunday, the place was busy! In walking around downtown Seattle, I didn't see many supermarkets for food, so was glad that there was this place, although obviously it was expensive.

Business

By beachbummer75 |

Lots of great finds especially the Asian kitchen with value for money food options that I choose over several restaurants Finally food that’s not laden with too much salt, sugars and price that is decent

Quick bite

By John C |

In town on vacation, my wife and I were looking for a bite for dinner before the fireworks at Lake Union and we ended up here. Got good sandwiches, sides and drinks. Amazing quality and selection of virtually everything you could want.

Yummy food

By TheGupsters |

Probably the best pizza I have had in America! The food is just great here, from sandwiches to sweets. We tried to find a wholefoods in every town we visited after our stay in Seattle because of this!

Great stop for a quick lunch

By Kim G |

Whole Foods is a grocery store, but really so much more than that. At this location, there is a wide variety of grab and go options for lunch. The quality of the food is always spectacular.

If you don't know where to eat, this is your place!!

By Alex S |

It has everything, beer, food, more beer, more food, pastries, munchies, pizza etc. Yup this is the place that has everything, if you are staying at downtown hotels and you are getting out late from your office, you can have a dinner here. it has different kind of foods, latin, asian, indian, american, etc. price is 8.28 lb, and it will be enough for 2 persons, so it is really worth it. the food is good it is like buffet but even better because you can buy other things there. Totally recommend, and they have 2 hours if wifi free.

Nothing better (or more expensive)

By LodiDazzles |

Love eating and shopping at Whole Foods. Great selection of hot and cold items. Something for everyone. Nothing better than a hot cup of soup on a cool (almost) autumn day.

breakfast & lunch

By AQS |

Great Quick eat. Great breakfast selection and lunch selection. Sometimes at lunch they have a Friendly chief out front cooking on a BBQ.

Delicious food in all colours and spices

By Katrin C |

Yesterday my colleages and me tried the Whole Food Market for a late lunch and it was basically fantastic. The variety of the dishes and the quality of the food is extraordinary good so that we will try the breakfast now. I am looking forward to this taste experience :)

New remodled Whole Foods with a large slection of ready to eat foods

By mastbash |

This location has just undergone a remodel. It's bright, colorful and very customer friendly. There is a large selection of ready to eat foods just as you enter the front doors! There are many self serve options. There's a full coffee bar and a great selection of local beers. There's seating inside and limited outdoor seating. A very popular Whole Foods Market! It's popular during the lunch hour and can be very crowded.

Going for the take-out food

By R C |

We stayed at a local hotel and felt like dining in one night. Whole Foods was pretty close and we knew we'd have a plethora of options. Kids got the burritos which were a super deal; my wife and I got the hot (mostly Indian) food which came with a little sticker shocker but then again I probably scooped in enough food for two of me.

Found this by accident on way to our AirBNB

By Sterling M |

This Whole Foods store is tucked away....just happen to drive right by it. Huge store with excellent selection. Great sandwiches along with terrific coffee bar. Noticed they also have not just a security cop but a uniformed Seattle police officer keeping a watchful eye.

Delish Dining...from the hot and cold bars!

By aLOE98119 |

Whole Foods Westlake (downtown Seattle) offers the largest prepared food bars in the region...and the food is delicious! Yes, you may question this review and I ask to simply give it a try, especially if you are hungry for great food at reasonable prices without waiting for service in restaurants and paying heft tips (especially if you are a single traveler). Also, you can eat in the seating area or take it to go and eat at your home or hotel. I would avoid visiting from 11:30am - 1pm Monday-Friday due to the influx of Amazon and other company workers in the area...unless you have time to wait.

Great Breakfast Buffet

By SequoiaRose |

We went here for a few groceries and breakfast. The buffet had plenty of variety and they listed the ingredients which is very helpful if you have food allergies. They do have nitrite free bacon and sausage.

Different food store.

By Robert L |

I shopped there Wednesday at 5:30 pm and it was getting crowded. It is large and has about anything you need in grocery’s. It is a great place to shop, especially for you’re vegan, gluten free, and organic shoppers. There are many prepared foods like salads and pizza. It was not laid out like most groceries but was easy to shop.

Never thought I'd brag about a Whole Foods but...

By rhonda60103 |

This store was very convenient to my hotel, which turned out good considering how expensive Seattle is. We were in town for 4 days, so we stopped by Whole Foods for occasional breakfast foods and snacks. Even got wine and salad bar items for an evening inside due to weather. They have everything, and although the prices are typical Whole Foods prices, it's less than typical Seattle restaurant prices! It's huge, staff was super-friendly, clean, and very pretty. I know, I know, it's just a Whole Foods...I also went to Starbucks, so I guess Chains-R-Me!

Large selection and good coffee.

By Brigid W |

Great hot food bars with so many choices! The bulk sections helped me, and my fellow jurors, eat healthily while in the city for jury duty.

Crazy Place

By Angeles |

This store is located right in the Amazon tech area. We came on a Saturday night because there were few restaurants in the area. Lots of people in the store. Rather young crowd. Many different choice of food with tables and plastic wear to eat the food on the premise. Lots of salads and dishes for self serve, but I was turned off by food being self served. Found some prepared salads and we checked out and the clerk asked if we planned to eat there. Found one open spot at a shared table and ate the very healthy salads we had just purchased.

Phenomenal choice of amazing food but costly

By CAM |

We visited the Westlake Whole Foods many times during our time in Seattle. The store sells a fantastic array of fresh salads, fruit, vegetables, curries, sandwiches, pizzas etc. If you care about what you eat, this is the place for you. There is a big choice of organic and vegan food which was so refreshing. The service is great and the staff are very helpful. It was fun people watching and seeing Seattle millennials take their lunch break!

Good location

By Randi G |

Nice options and very clean but very expensive for what they are selling and ok employees. Overall ok for a quick stop

Whole Foods – Disrespectful, Ignorant, and Straight-Up Ableist Behavior

By Jessica Y |

I had the worst experience at this Whole Foods yesterday and honestly still can’t believe how it all went down. I brought my service dog with me (yes, legally protected service dog) to grab some groceries. Everything was fine until checkout, when an employee got way too close to my dog and started provoking her, talking to her and staring her down, completely ignoring the basic rule of don't distract service animals. Naturally, my dog barked once to signal discomfort, and that’s when all hell broke loose. Two guys rushed up on me mid-checkout, one of them being the manager, David. With zero courtesy or even an attempt to understand the situation, he just barked (pun intended), “No pets allowed in the store, you need to leave.” No “Is your dog a service animal?” No “What kind of service does your dog perform?” No “Is everything okay?” Just straight up demands and accusations. I calmly told them my dog is a service dog. David responded: “It doesn’t matter, we can’t have dogs barking in the store. You need to leave.” Excuse me??? That is not how any of this works. That’s not just rude—it’s illegal. The ADA makes it very clear that service dogs are allowed, even if they bark once in a stressful moment. It’s about behavioral patterns, not a single reaction—especially when their employee was the one who triggered her! But instead of de-escalating or apologizing, they doubled down and made me feel like a criminal. I quickly finished checking out, not because they had any right to kick me out, but because my dog was clearly stressed by their aggressive behavior, and I didn’t want to make things worse for her. I thought that was the end of it, but nope—minutes later, I’m sitting in the front seating area trying to eat a slice of pizza I just bought, and here comes David again. Still staring me down, still coming at me. My dog is lying quietly at my feet, not making a sound. We were just trying to enjoy a moment of peace. But nope, David had to get his last word in. I was so disgusted by his behavior, finally had enough and started recording the whole thing on video. Only then did he back off, because now he knew the harassment wasn’t just happening, it was being documented. If I hadn’t pulled out my phone, I honestly think he would've kept going until I left. This whole experience was humiliating, stressful, and completely unnecessary. The lack of knowledge about service animals, the refusal to follow proper procedures, and the sheer disrespect from the manager were all inexcusable. Whole Foods—you need to train your staff better. And David? Should not be in any role where he interacts with people, especially those with disabilities.

Where to eat in seattle

By DrAmresh |

Full range of menu for working lunch, including Maxican, Pizza and Indian. Located just below the Pan Pacific hotel. You can also find a good range of Wine in affordable range.

Very Busy, Typical Whole Foods

By hotelreviewer333 |

Beneath the Pan Pacific Hotel, this is one of the busiest Whole Foods I've ever been in but its typical one see anywhere with lots of choice and very high quality eats

Delicious fresh food!

By Catherine L |

Had the stone pizza and some veggies. Perfect dinner! All the food is really fresh. There are so many options, its amazing

Expensive but food was good.

By podrozniczka60 |

One of our evenings in Seattle we decided to try Whole Foods for dinner. There were many readymade choices. We ended up with delicious jambalaya, sushi, salad, berry cup for desert and a bottle of wine. We probably could find a cheaper place to eat but with takeout we were able to enjoy a very pleasant evening in hotel room.

What a Godsend!!!!!

By Tom W |

We stayed at the Pan Pacific Hotel and were so fortunate to have Whole Foods adjacent to it! From breakfast to basic necessities to late night snacks, it was great to have it be so close. Certainly made our stay more comfortable ... thank you, Whole Foods!

Good place to get something to eat if you want to spend less

By Alec D |

If you're interested in eating out after being in downtown but want to spend less then going to a restaurant then Whole Foods Market is a good option.

Every thing you wanna eat

By Chul S |

Everything you need in your kitchen (meat, fruits,snacks,drinks,diary product, ready to eat, semi prep, etc you name it. I found the price is cheap compare to my hometown abroad. Open quite early in the morning around 7 a.m. and close quite late at 10 pm. If I 'm not wrong. Try it .

first time there -loved it

By 784rogina |

They have the most amazing salad and olive bar. We actually bought a premade salad. It was crisp and fresh. I wish we had one where I live.

Best Whole Foods market in the US

By ExperiencedTraveler |

Sitting in the heart of Amazon country, this market has everything you want. Best selection of products anywhere. Great service by all the staff. Fast check-out. Fantastic location accessible from many areas by walking. We went here once a day to buy various items and also their great smoothies. Prices can't be beat.

A tad expensive but good quality

By crawfylicious |

I love the selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. The hot salad bar is also really good. All in all you can always find something here.

Had Three Take Out Meals Here

By Connie G |

Clean, expensive, but so happy to have vegetarian choices. By the time I had my third meal, I eliminated many of the dishes I had chosen before. What the problem is that most of the VEGAN selections are TOO Salty. We have a Whole Foods near where we live, but don't ever go there for a meal since I encountered the same problem--too much salt in the food. Grateful to be able to pick up water, grapes, fruits to bring back to the hotel.

Convenient place for lunch, dinner, or a snack

By Alec D |

Whole Foods has a great selection of pre-made foods. They validate parking, which is a great feature since you're downtown. I really enjoy stopping in for something to eat when I don't feel like cooking.

Has it All!

By Merril Y |

Thanksgiving shopping and picked up 6 artisanal Washington State cheeses along with the requisite crackers and couple of lovely state red wines. Family had already bought a 25 pound free range turkey the day earlier and we returned to make a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch. Simply put - Whole Foods has everything you are looking for and even more than you remember you needed/wanted.

Lipsmacking buffet and awesome groceries in a wonderful if pricy store

By metaungulate |

Let's face it, Whole Foods is expensive! It may not be quite as absurdly overpriced as it was prior to the Amazon takeover but it is still not a budget supermarket by any stretch of the imagination. However, this location is so clean, well stocked, and features such a glorious, ultra fresh buffet which fills the entire store with delectable aromas that I don't mind running up my credit card as the checkout. It's sooooooooooooo great!

Huge Whole Foods

By anngray_11 |

Amazing prepared food. Whole Foods usual wide variety of products. Attractive and clean. Lovely bakery. Good wine shop.

The price decreases made it significantly more affordable!

By Jason Park |

I actually never went to this location to buy groceries until Amazon acquired Whole Foods. I gotta say, the price decreases made it significantly more affordable! Now it's my go-to grocery store. The lines are very long, but pretty quick during peak hours (right after work around 5-6:30 PM I'd estimate.

Huge market, pleasant experience.

By PJPILOT |

Worth visiting when and if if munchies required, vast selection, pleasant employees, reasonable prices.

Way to expensive $$ ££ €€

By Brianj281 |

I have visited many food stores across the world in my time. Having travelled for nearly 16 hours flying to Seattle, I just wanted a few essentials and to get to my bed. I picked up a few items and went to the cashier, long line waiting to pay. More staff standing around but did not open another register. I paid nearly And was surprised how expensive a bottle of water, some fresh orange and some fruit cost.. Not going back sorry.

Downtown Seattle Gourmet Market

By jksKansas |

There is a buffet here that is very nice but it is expensive.One plate of food is weighed at the counter can can cost around $15. There is also pizza and Mexican food as well as a coffee shop and a bakery. High dollar but is convenient for those who live and work there.

Has It All

By ExploreTheWorld |

I really like this Whole Foods as it always has everything I need. I find things at this location not available at others and the quality of their products is outstanding. Cheers to the bakery department for curing my sweet tooth, frequently.

Great selection, food options, coffee

By M S |

I visited this location for lunch, dinner - healthy options and for their chai- during business visit this week. - good food options - lines can be long at lunch time - chai is very good too - good selection of healthy foods, tasty too

Quick, Simple and Convenient

By sandyy65 |

We didn't expect the take-out would be so good. We were tired from our 9 hours of traveling and just needed something simple and quick to take back to our hotel. And it's great after sightseeing all day. We ended up eating there twice on our trip.

wonderful

By Nanci D |

This is one of my favorite whole food stores. I'm from Austin where Whole Foods started and this is one of the best stores.

For the rare occaision you get up late and can't pack food for a hike...

By Pat_e321 |

My friend took me here before a hike. We were in a hurry and I didn't have time to make my usual prehike breakfast and pack a lunch. We got a hot, portable breakfast with tea, and packable whole foods for lunch and snacks. This is now my idea of luxury. We ate breakfast on the way up the mountains. When we got to the top of Rattlesnake ridge, I had an organic juicy peach, organic swiss cheese and fresh-baked corn muffin. Yes, it was more expensive than packing my own lunch and having breakfast at home. However, it was a real treat and got me to the mountains.

Exceeded Expectations

By Ramnathan P |

By default whole foods buffets are goood. This was even better. We liked the Dolmas, Vegan dishes. Wish they had segregated the veg and others. May bring in more veggie or vegan customers like my wife! visited on 21 oct 2015

an amazing food outlet and extremely good value

By gtate50 |

an amazing food outlet very close to the lotyal inn, We walked there to buy some food and winne for dinner sspent less than $30 for two and had some left over. THe cvariety was great

What a variety of Food

By Vikinger1974 |

When I entered the Whole Foods Market, I was amazed of the variety of foods and drinks they had on offer. Whenever I get to go to Seattle, it's one of the first shopping trips I do. I absolutely recommend this store. You can even have have your lunch inside the store.

Nice warm supermarket

By aussiekiwi_boy |

Coffee is okay, good selection of fresh fruit and muffin for brekkie and excellent dinner choices makes this worthwhile staying near when visiting Seattle

Healthy food

By Pblandy |

I always visit his whole foods when in Seattle, easy to get to. Wide Variety of foods available. Great smoothie bar, try the Put them up Joe! You won't be disappointed

LUNCH, LUNCH, LUNCH

By Rosemary M |

This is a great place to get a buffet lunch featuring several different cuisines, including Indian, Latin, Korean, and Americana style dishes. In addition to the hot food islands, there is a large and varied salad island with many selections of lettuces, greens, beans, peas, corn, cous cous, etc., cold meats, cheeses, and yummy condiments. If you are in the mood for pizza by the slice -- there is plenty available, and burritos and also ready made sandwiches and many flavorful deli salads!

Wonderful Grocery and Takeaway Near South Lake Union

By Zoom_Gotti |

Expensive, but if you're walking around downtown Seattle this is a special place to organize a meal - breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a mega grocery store with multi self-serve options. Even offers outdoor seating. If you head to the meat and fish counters in the rear, they can prepare a fresh meal for you on-site. Only $2 charge for the prep. There's also an Asian takeaway, deli, hot meals to order, a sandwich counter, salad bar, and a sort of brewery. Plus hundreds of standard supermarket shopping opportunities. Free underground parking. and it's on the Lake Union streetcar route. Amazon has a lot of office space in the neighborhood, So it's mighty busy at lunch hour. If you take away a load, be sure to double bag. This is one place that Whole Foods falls flat; their bags tear easily. And in Seattle you pay a fee for this!

Hot soup to bagged ice it's here

By valuerecogniser |

Well laid out, excellent selection of various food, soft drink beer wine its all here along with cooked food and excellent grocery range. Only saw the whole foods food and drink section was mainly looking

Asian Express Just Meh

By Rumples |

This is the largest Whole Foods store that I have ever been in (and I've entered many). It is in the tony South Lake Union neighborhood and was mobbed with 20- and 30-somethings. Many wandered to the various food counters to select a lunch to eat inside or at one of the outside tables overlooking Westlake Avenue. Others grabbed something to take elsewhere. We checked out the various offerings, from a salad bar to a taqueria and eventually perused the menu at Asian Express. It appealed to us, so I ordered a teriyaki salmon rice bowl and my husband chose Fun Noodles with chicken and vegetables. The woman behind the counter gave us slips to take to the cashier for payment. The bill, which included an ice tea and a soda that we picked up from a display case, came to $25. When we returned, our food was ready; and we ate, sitting on stools by the Asian Express counter. My rice bowl proved to be terribly salty and the vegetable were limp and soggy. I thought that the salmon was fairly tough. The Fun Noodles weren't much fun for my husband and he rated his meal "average." Based on other reviews, it appears we made the wrong choice. I would be willing to return to try something else, such as a sandwich or BBQ plate.

Whole Foods downtown Seattle

By Alec D |

Some of the reviews listed on this page are really reviews of other Whole Foods locations. This whole foods is located in downtown Seattle. In walking distance to Seattle Center, the Space Needle, Westlake office buildings and many more locations. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Lots to choose from, Sushi, pizza, hot bar and more. If you're in downtown, hungry and don't want to go to a restaurant this is a great option.

You could eat ALL of your meals here

By Ydnar |

I'm from a smaller city (in Canada) so this place was a real eye-opener, we were blown away by the eat-in and take-out food selections - just incredible. Very fresh, very tasty and definitely something for even the picky eaters. Prices are high, no question about that, but given its downtown location and the quality that is to be expected. Aside from the prepared food, I wonder if residents actually do their grocery shopping here since you really would be paying a premium for the name. Of note, we were there around lunchtime and there was a guy barbecuing fresh salmon outside the store at very reasonable prices, so I wonder if they rotate other food vendors.

Good but quite expensive

By Peregrineri |

The quality of the produce is really very good here. There is also a good selection of other items, including cosmetics and herbal remedies as well as food and some odds and ends. I like it, though I'm disappointed that they haven't stuck to a policy of no GMOs. And it's expensive.

Wide Variety of Grocery and Take-out Food Options

By Oregon_Coast_Duo |

We stayed for 3 weeks in a nearby hotel in May 2016. Most days we ate some food from Whole Foods during our stay. They have a large variety of freshly cooked items you can eat there or take back to the hotel. The wide variety provides options for everyone and the quality of the foods and soups is very good. If we stay in the area again it will definitely be a place we visit again.

Whole Foods is Whole Foods

By CDM49 |

We went to dine in their cafe. Seating was limited but we found a table to share. Ordered at the counter got our order and ate. Grocery store atmosphere. It was quick and easy.

Convenient

By Anne E |

Very close to the hotel - in fact, an elevator steps outside the hotel we were staying in (Pan Pacific) opens directly into Whole Foods. Typical WF vibe and prices, but good food that's convenient and an alternative to room service.

Shopped here at least twice daily last week!

By L6Ranch |

4 kids and I tagged along on hubby's business trip. In trying to keep meal costs down, every morning was an "adventure" to Whole Foods to choose picnic-style items for that day's lunch. We often returned for dinner items as well. Staff was friendly and helpful. There was a super nice man working in the cheese section that provided some really detailed information! We were surprised to encounter a police presence almost every time, but one friendly officer did give stickers to the kids, which was a nice gesture. All in all, we were glad for the selection, variety, and "entertainment" value of Whole Foods. (SO many options... still just amazing to us small town folks).

Always a good stop

By Chauthy P |

We have Whole Foods where we live too but always like to see how things are stocked in different towns. Got dessert and fruit here. All good as expected.

Plenty to choose from

By Nick F |

Great choice of foods for a quick bite or lunch; slightly pricey though, but again a huge selection to choose from.

You'll never go wrong with Whole Foods

By Jeremy S |

What can you say about Whole Foods...the take out food is always great, reasonably priced, and fast. I go to WF wherever I can and I had a great burrito for lunch. Their fresh-squeezed orange juice is also amazing.

Viable alternative instead of dining at restaurants

By EmmEff |

As a source of ready-to-eat food, this is a more affordable option compared to eating at restaurants while on vacation. The food offered on the hot bar is tasty and gives the option of buying as much or as little as you want.

Don’t get the sushi

By Allison A |

The worst sushi. Rice is totally over cooked and soggy. It is also very expensive. It is clean. Very little available in gluten free options.

No longer Whole Pay Cheque as their image evolution is gaining traction!

By Jim S |

Location at base of Pan Pacific makes stay at the Pan even more enjoyable. Excellent selection iof basically everything including large wine and beer/cider selection. Great deli with huge buffet and made to order sandwiches and pizzas.

Healthy Options

By Gale U |

There was a Whole Foods Market just 2 blocks from our hotel in Seattle. A large variety of prepared food for take out makes traveling a little cheaper and healthier. The clerks were amazingly knowledgeable and even gave us 2 boxes of crackers to try for free. We loved the store and wish we had one near us1

Not up to Whole Foods Standards.

By Laurie H |

this may be my worst review I've ever left here. I'm usually interested in telling folks about great things to do and see. I apologize that my positive is on pause for this. On the plus..I would say that the grocery portion of the store is fine On the other hand, we had a pretty bad experience with the Asian Food counter. We were so excited to be staying in teh hotel right above, thinking that on the dinner we were too tired to go out for, we could run down and get some of that yummy smelling stuff we'd sniffed while grabbing beverages earlier in the day. Seriously, is customer service lost? Barely acknowledged and grumped at through the ordering process. We asked for teriyaki bowls and ended up with some dry chunks of chicken on soggy rice. Coulda had more flavor from a fast food option ...I'd skip the food, the grumpy guy, bored lady, and judgment and just get groceries here.

Total fan but...

By TrevB56 |

Have been travelling for 5 weeks and visited Whole Foods in several states and although I was quite happy with shopping here, it was not, IMHO, as good as the one in Portland or the one in Honolulu. Salad bar was missing items by late lunchtime and they did not seem to be replenished - based on what I saw on several visits. It was still a high standard salad bar but Whole foods set a high standard and that is what I am measuring them against. I also found certain products unavailable that I had purchased in other stores .... had to go to IGA for a couple of things!

Good store - excellent takeaway

By THN_DK |

Excellent market - especially large selection of cold beers and wine. Their breakfast burito is also a good alternative to hotel breakfast

Lots to buy but can be pricey

By Tofurry |

It's always been a joke how expensive shopping at Whole Foods can be but now that it is part of the Amazon family, there are deals offered all the time. The hot and cold buffets are huge with lots to choose from but it can get pricey if you take heavy items. My son took a small box of fries and it cost almost $5. We do like that the market caters to vegetarians and vegans. The lines move quickly so you can be in and out if you don't get stuck looking at all the options!

Very Good Selections

By NoshTraveller |

If your want healthy options for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this place has a very large selection of cold and hot buffet items as well as fresh salad and fruit items. The buffet items are refreshed regularly and you should be able to find something for your tastes. There is a place to sit and eat and you can also order wine or beer.

Good choice on the run

By TravellingDocruralPA |

Since we were stocking up for our visit with our daughter this was a very good choice since we were there already there and the choices for lunch were many and varied. The young man making sandwiches was pleasant fast and helpful.

Stop for lunch

By 2012Wiggo |

Great looking place, lots of fresh food, salad, sandwiches made while you wait. Service was friendly and enjoyed the sitting area in the sun as we had lunch.

Excellent location and selection

By SubSan |

Went there a few times for breakfast/lunch and dinner. Huge selection with a variety of organic options, with great tasting food at reasonable price. Thoroughly impressed.

Expensive

By Michele D |

They had almost all organic food and beer not a Soda pop in the store. Pricey and artsy. They do have a grill and different cooked foods available. We had burgers and fry's. It was not set up very good for wheelchair users and was very busy.

Best breakfast

By Cath C |

Good choice of wholesome food Good coffee bar and environment and really good price. Most things that call themselves whole foods charge excessively but not here.

It'w Whole Foods!!!

By Merril Y |

The glow of its reputation continues! Back for the first of our two annual trips to visit our daughter, this time - 3 trips. Lovely wine array and price range to match the rib eyes, lobster, prawns we picked up over a 3 day period. Service is lovely as always. Ever a WOW experience which is always an experience to look forward to.

If you like organic foods, this is the spot.

By 840rickh |

this is the best spot to pick up fine organic foods. They have a great set of little lunch counters to pick from. You can get fresh store made delights. Everything from Thai food to Mexican foods. They have a grand selection of beers and wines from around the world. If you are in the area drop by for a nice patio lunch or a cold beer from their bar. After that take home some natural healthy delights. Dr.Rico Canada

Another Great Whole Foods Store

By Neta_Avivi |

Wonderful stores, great produce and products, huge variety of all kinds of prepared food. The store is opened 7 hours a week for extended hours. Just great!

Great Take Out Options

By TSinParis |

Great take out options for dinner but be careful when filling up those containers - it can get costly. They have a huge selection of organic food. Good wine selections too. I usually go there at least once each time I am in Seattle.

Great choice for now and later

By Rehman K |

Busy with a small seating area but great selection. Ignore the hot bar and look for the brisket (it was dry when I went), galbi, bulgogi and rice bowls.

An excellent Whole Foods..

By Frank D |

One of the larger Whole Foods. Plenary of room, choices, many options for eating on site as well. Helpful staff. Free parking in the garage for 2 or 3 hours if you remember to validate your ticket at checkout. Elevator takes you right up into the store from garage.

Great meat and fresh veggies

By Jen H |

I'm a loyal patron of Whole Foods on the mainland. We get fresh meat and some veggies and certain packaged foods that we can only find at these stores. Love the salt-and-pepper burgers, Maisy's almond butter, and I'm a big fan of the salad bar / hot bar for lunch. The only downside is that this Whole Foods is small and their selection of packaged foods is more limited than mainland stores. It's always a zoo, too, which is kind of a drag.

Loved this place!

By OnTheRoadAgain8180 |

We found WFM a great breakfast option when we stayed at the Pan Pacific. It has everything from fruit to pastries to hot breakfasts. It also has a great selection of just about everything else you need, in particular beer (lots of beer!).

Great food

By xfemke13 |

I already knew Whole Foods from my trip to London last year, but also the Whole Foods in Seattle hasn't dissappointed me! Great food selection, every diet (I am a vegetarian myself) can eat over here, great desserts.

Very convenient supermarket in downtown Seattle

By Sandeep Chowdhury |

I was staying at the Pan Pacific above, so this was my daily supermarket for breakfast, coffee and other food. Well organized, with a great selection of fruit, veg and other grocery items.

OK but not the best WF buffet

By orth1 |

We often eat at Whole Foods for a quick and healthy meal. While traveling, we have tried this WF buffet a few times in the past 2 years. In every case, it was disappointing. The dishes ran out early and were not replaced. The selection of both the cold and hot items is much more limited than I am used to. And the staff supporting that part of the store just did not seem that engaged in supporting their customers. We went in the evening so they may do a better job a lunch, but we will not go back.

You know nothing until you've been to Wholefoods

By LongChin |

Seriously this supermarket chain is just something else. Not only can you find every olive type that ever existed, wines from your own home town but you can then select HOT FOOD!! and wander on over to eat it at the BAR!! while watching the TELLY!! Supermarket lovers heaven. And it keeps the costs of eating way down.

Lunch

By Mike M |

Great choices that are healthy and priced decently. I purchased a variety of different microwaveable items in the deli selection. I loves the chef-microwave.

Family Christmas visit

By TONKA2 |

A formula Wholefoods. Has all the same Amenities offered at all the Wholefoods. The service is good. the organics are overpriced. Beware of the phony labeling such as all natural, vegan, cagefree, free range, gluten free. Only organics are certified by the FDA or FTC. I also noticed that pre-made hot foods are dry and not too appetizing. As though they have been sitting around too long.

Large clean Whole Foods

By Laurie T |

This Whole Foods was large and seemed fairly new. There were lot of buffet and food options. the alcohol area was organized and has a variety of options. Even though the store was busy checking out in the “express” land was fast.

Fantastic, but can be costly,

By suzekit |

I visited WholeFoods regularly recently, and I love it. Firstly the coffee is amazing, secondly the selection of food on the hot and cold bars is epic! Not only is it all so fresh, the choice is excellent. From Balsamic to Deep Fried Tofu and Coated Chicken to Vindaloo, there is something for everyone. My only critique is the cost @ $8.99 per lb it can become very costly very quickly.

Great Pizza

By Chris H |

Dropped in here on the way back to my hotel. Grabbed a couple of slices of Pizza and a beer. All well priced and tasty. Great selection of eats and other things here

super convenient

By TheCaprettis |

always open to look for every kind of healthy food you can think of. Valid alternative for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

A Splurg

By Kati T |

Whenever I'm in Lynnwood, I try to stop at Whole Foods. They have an amazing deli and produce section. My kids love to grab a quick lunch (stonefire pizza), and I love to shop for something special.

Largest Whole Foods market!

By Marie C |

I had to try the Whole Foods market. This was by far the best one I have ever visited in the US. Unless I am missing something. They carry a full line of prepared foods along with a great indoor restaurant. There is a neat outdoor seating area with umbrella tables so that one can enjoy a great meal while watching the Seattle city bustle. Each night they offer a special freshly prepared food like prime rib, or chicken wing dinner for a low price so that it actually makes sense to enjoy several meals there instead of paying high restaurant prices. definitely worth the walk through of the store...so many wonderful vegetable, fruits and other foods. I have never seen so many coffee bean choices from around the world....a true pleasure to visit Whole Foods, Seattle.

awesome

By gjoh1956 |

Amazing selection of..well everything, including every coffee you could want, as well as small cafe area where you can eat what you have bought in the store. rams and buses right outside to take you where you want to go.

Wish we had one in our neck of the woods.

By Jerry K |

I am a foodie and that is what Whole Foods is all about. Their selection and freshness of their products is above and beyond.

Convenient to hotel

By Mervin W |

Handy to the Pan Pacific Hotel if you are staying there. Good alternative to room service which has a very limited menu.

Great food, good location

By vanislecanuck |

When visiting Seattle downtown. We use this Whole Foods store for most of our meals and other items that we may need ie: wine, beer, soap. The store is open early enough for breakfast and late enough for supper. There is always a great selection of hot or cold food to eat in or take away. Eggs and bacon in the morning. Curry, fried chicken and salad for supper, just to name a few items. Last time we visited we paid $8:95 per pound of food. You can have a hot or cold drink with your meal plus a beer if you prefer. Compared to what you are given and what you pay at the local downtown restaurants they cannot hold a candle to Whole Foods.

Great place for an inexpensive/good meal

By Alec D |

I really like this Whole Foods if I’m looking for something to eat when I near the Seattle Center. The selection and quality are both good. It can get very busy depending on when you go. So plan ahead or allow extra time.

Healthy tast hot food bar

By adeledupre |

This location does offer a food bar with different kind of tasty cuisines as well as a salad sometimes during peak lunch hour traffic it can be rather busy and if you decide to eat there there are no table are available especially on a super cold rainy day.

Large, clean supermarket providing usual items plus hot and cold deli foods that looked appetising and freshly cooked.

By Sylvia G |

Various hot and cold wholesome deli foods available from 8am - 10pm. Staff are friendly and helpful when approached to explain what is available.

Hygienic, healthy, Vegetarian food!

By Sagira J |

Loved all the products from this store, specially the food from the hot bar. I enjoyed the hot, vegetarian, organic food!
