Five stars...if there were Six stars I would have given them six. I mean. wow...if u read the ingredients on the labels, everything I picked up had simple information easy to read and understand. I didnt feel like a chemist trying to figure out what all was put into the foods. I recommend you should shop there at least once and see whats not in your food.

I went in to this wholefoods one day searching for a good product for my daughters skin. She suffers from what is believed to be eczema. As I was searching an employee walked up (I think her name was Alexis). I told her what I was looking for and she made sure to find a great product for my daughters skin. She was very well informed and spoke to me about different causes and ways to prevent flare ups. Listen my daughter would scratch and scratch until she had scratches on her. I kid you not, the day after using this she stopped scratching. And slept peacefully through the night. I’m so happy and really appreciate her for helping me. I hope I got her name correct. Hope to see her again so I can let her know.

The employees were nice. The food is good. The store is clean. Ordered a sandwich and the clerk made it for me. It was great.Shopped around for other items as well. On checkout the cashier was positive and friendly.I do recommend shopping here and you should enjoy the experience.

This is now one of my favorite markets. Its all fresh and efficiency is everywhere. The customer service is great and helpful. Going to plan my next move near one of these.

Awesome place to shop. Amazingly stocked and friendly.... for the vegans reading my review, try their take away custom vegan pizza, croissants, donuts all clearly marked, worth it! They have everything your plant based heart desires! The bulk section is a great additional perk for buying a lot or just a little.

Love this place. If I cant find something I know I can find it here. The beauty aisle is always a joy.

They are always friendly and theres always a great selection of items.

Similar to other whole foods of the same size. Very good selection of gluten free things and I like that the tags will say gluten free. Good selection of local beers.

First time visit,very impressive, looking for rosemary sourdough bread,they just sold the last one.A very nice young manCame out with a Loufe that needed to beCooked some more and explained how to do it.We were so impressed with theStore and the friendly staff.

This is a great grocery store. That place is always clean and kept in good order. The employees there are always nice and very helpful. They have a lot of different items here that you dont find a normal grocery stores and a lot of good organic food. The meats are always fresh and look great. Their Seafood selection is pretty good compare to a lot of other places.

Went there for lunch. Their Buffet is excellent. Large selections of fresh dishes and salad makings, soups. Many vegan options. Very tasty.

Really simple, go here if you want awesome service and a great selection

This location has a decent variety of organic selections for such a small store, but if youre from a larger city you will definitely notice the lack of many usual items.The amount of produce is great and the seafood is some of the best in the area. The meat department, however, is lacking and is less diverse than a normal grocery stores.The staff here though, they alone earn this locations fourth star - they are the image of southern charm, so friendly, helpful and inviting.

My experience today was quick...I walked into (my newly local) Whole Foods after moving from Omaha, NE only to be quickly met with someone insisting I wear a mask. After telling employee I have a medical condition he mumbled through his masks that he needed to grab someone to authorize my entry!? Youve got to be kidding me...I have to be questioned for my medical conditions?!?! I question your ethics, Whole Foods. If masks protect people...dont harass those who cant wear one. Never will I ever return!! Clearly farmers markets are worth the wait.. I will be sure to blast this to all I know!!

Nice, clean store. Produce can be expensive

Great place, good selection, well trained staff

Not impressed today. Expected to see more mixes of blended foods and it was still shut down. Met with NC friends a few weeks ago and they shared some delightful pasta mixes they got from whole foods up there. Also the sushi was good but way more expensive than other places we shop like Publix.

Love this place. They have a great selection of fresh and organic food. I love their deli and salad bar. I am a major, major fan of their vegan chocolate pudding! Im not a vegan but dang this is good! Ask for it in deli counter if you dont see it. It will make you curl your toes!

Great selection, fresh product and friendly staff. The only drawback is that the prices a slightly higher then the average supermarket

The store is always clean and the food selection is great! I had the hot buffet and everything was wonderful.

Poor quality fruit and vegetables. I call this store Whole Paycheck because it is so expensive.

Extremely friendly and well stocked. Very clean store. Definitely will be back to this location when I am back in town.

Very clean and organized. A little pricy but everything was organic and fresh so thats what youd expect.

Its Whole Foods, nothing wrong with it, hah!

I always find what Im looking for. My experiences have been very positive with the staff. They ste very polite and respectful.

My grandson likes the fried tofu from there, I had a taste of it for the first time and it was good. Its a bit expensive everything in there. Lets say it might be worth it. 😄

Welcoming staff! Well organized store! A good variety of products. A staff person helped me locate the products needed. Check out experience was awesome as well!

I would give them five stars if everything wasnt so expensive its not always quality youre paying for sometimes its just the pretty packaging and ambiance of being better than everyone else

I was pleasently surprised with the quality and low price of a beautiful custom red rose bouquet. I called in an order and was promptly taken care of and my expectations were exceeded in the wrapping.

The seafood department needs serious improvement. There’s only one friendly employee who is always helpful and seems to truly like his job. The rest seem to not care about customers and hate their job. Whenever I have a question or ask something, they answer with a rude tone and refuse to help by giving some kind of excuse. I just moved from out of state and thought Whole Foods is the same every where. The standards here are below average and unlike any other I’ve seen. This place needs major change.

Chelsea and Matt are PHENOMENAL!!! I needed edible flowers for a culinary school project and not only were they polite and professional, Matt placed the order OVER THE PHONE for me on the call for the earliest shipping time tomorrow, and said to just call and confirm they have them. If not, they can place A SECOND ORDER over the weekend for me. I checked so many places in Columbia, it didnt dawn on me to check Whole Foods. Not sure why, because they have E V E R Y T H I N G. Im so thankful that Im speechless. I appreciate you guys so much!!!

The best produce in town.

Lil pricey but quality products

Everyone here is so nice and helpful. And they have a great variety and fresh produce

Multifunctional store with Amazon pick up and drop off for returns as well as all of the things you would normally expect from Whole Foods. The pizza that I’ve had here unfortunately isn’t as good as other locations.

Always enjoyed shopping in there is a bit too pricey for my pocket but did find something today I could use. Went to return Amazon product your help person was very nice. Thank you.

Amazon returns,. So easy, and customer service was extremely pleasant.

Whole Foods never disappoints me. Great quality and well stocked.

Search ended here for special spice - Mexican oregano! Great employees - helpful and happy

I was very impressed on my first visit in this food store to return an Amazon package. Its very nice!

Perfect for all fresh tumeric and ginger root. What ever you cant find at your regular stores. Plus the Amazon discount.

Don’t get the prepackaged salads. Got one today and the lettuce was complete mush and brown but the packaging said it was good until 9/23....

Great and good quality as always.

When you walk in youre greeted with a staff member who offers a mask and hand sanitizer. They make sure their customers stay protected. The food is always fresh and prepared daily. I highly recommend this store to help you on your journey to a healthier lifestyle.

Upper middle class and white? Youll LOVE Whole Foods!

Always a gr8 experience shopping at this establishment, only go for a certain amt of stuff n end w/ more than what u went for!!! Want everything on the shelves.... they practice social distancing n every1 has a mask!!! #staysafe

Its always a joy to shop at Whole Foods! Everything is displayed so nicely 😃

Get place to shop, great produce and goods. Its a little pricey but you get some savings when you use your Amazon account.

Columbia, SC- Dirty, unorganized, small. Worst Whole Foods I’ve seen.

Pretty cool, that Whole Foods has Lockers for Amazon...My friend picked up a package yesterday...

The store is full of wonderful items. I really like the large selection of organic fruits & veggies as well as the water fill station. That is a plus for me on limiting plastic bottle waste. There is a large section filled with organic bath and body products that I have tried a few of and so far my skin loves them. I would have given five stars but I did see that there were some products that were priced a little to high for the size and usage. Other than that, the staff is friendly and very helpful. I will visit Whole Foods a little more often especially for its large organic selections.

Organic overload...👍🏽

When the greeter wont even greet you kind of sets the whole buying experience off on the wrong foot

Purchased what I thought was FRESH blackberries. The ones on top looked as if. The middle and bottom were all rotten with mold. With time and distance I took a lost.

Friendly cashier. There is always something new to try

This is the greatest place I have ever worked and shopped. Wonderful management team and great fellow employees. The store is clean and their is a great selection of products at good affordable prices. I absolutely love this store. Shoutout to Kenya Jones, David Landau, and DZ.

👌 Customer Service is Awesome. But too expensive for my taste and not as much vegan options that I was looking for. But great organic selection.

Its the place for fresh seafood and I mean fresh period.

This whole foods is now closing early (8pm most days) due to covid19....Usually a good place to shop. I Did not make it in time on this day. Update in October, still some low shopping supply, no seating inside or out and bathrooms being poorly maintained.

A truly beautiful and amazing Whole Foods! The best I’ve ever visited. They had everything I was looking for and a mochi freezer!

Great customer, seafood, fruit and vegetables are always fresh and the atmosphere great. One of favorite places to shop for groceries.

Nice!! The chicken salad sandwich I had was 👌 awesome and surprisingly cheap.

Prices are a little high vegetable shelves needed restocking. The casher im the non cash line was very klnd and polite.

Perfect service, experience that you expect

Was not busy during the evening hours. Significant efforts implemented to make the shopping experience safe.

Excellent food and choices

Great fresh meat and seafood

I always enjoying the customer service! The food courts vegan choices are excellent! I enjoy eating the vegan mac&cheese ( theres 2 options to choose from), the mushrooms, grilled cabbage, and fried tofu. They also have vegan pizza. I applaud the cooks! Keep up the great work!

They had a large selection of what I needed!!!

Fresh fish is the best! Speciality items & fresh organics are also great. I dont do my regular grocery shopping here, just for certain things.

Really enjoyed walking this establishment and looking at all the products available for purchasing. We bought a couple of bone-in ribeyes and pre-seasoned salmon. Pictures to come from the cooked product.

They have an awesome variety of organic foods. They dont have too many many alkaline vegan options but they are very clean and have very kind employees.

Always stocked with good, holsom foods and nutrients!

If u need stuff for good ole down home cooking.......the Pig is the place to go

Love all the good selection they have

Great staff!

Someone is always ready to help you find just what you’re looking for! Great fresh herbs, vegetables, and meat! I drive 45 miles just to shop here when my local supermarket is less than half a mile from the house. It’s a classic example of you get what you pay for!

I had a little issue with my purchase order being ordered but they fixed it. It didnt make a big enough difference nor took away from they superb customer service so I had to give them all 5s for my overall experience. They arent perfect but the professionalism, helpfulness, and customer service are always extremely satisfactory.

Great service not long to check out had the best selection of gluten-free items and had a perfect price

Broad selection. Clean store. Friendly staff. Affordable if you buy sale items. Love their product selection supports humane treatment of animals. Great for special diets.

Likely not to go after reading reviews. Thanks reviewers. Saw TV ad for store promoting discover lower prices, my wife, hearing others talk about the place told me prices are high. So watching the ad I realized the honesty in advertisement meant Id have to discover low prices, because I wouldnt find them here. At least the ad is honest, even if the implied meaning is deceptive.

Always a great experience visiting Whole Foods

I love Whole Foods! What else is there to say?

Great store just change the name ro Whole Paycheck 🤣 Everything so expensive.

You have to go to get your prime members discount and I don’t like that kind of coercion but it’s better than paying to instacsrt because you don’t have to drive you are not at risk like being in a kennel at a kennel or the SOCA because you have been caught by the dog catcher, quality ands election is close to what produce stores were and you are not confined to off branded products as well and that is not something that you’re going to have to consider because you’re addicted to buying on the cheap and not that you deserve to pay more for less or nothing worthwhile. but note of it and you are know they’ll deliver to your door too.

Had a good lunch

Everytime I come to this store I always have a good experience. The cashiers and others are very professional and courteous. But today I had a unexpected unprofessional experience at the meat counter. The employee working made me feel like I was actually bothering him when I was inquiring about an item. When I wanted to add to my order from what I originally asked for it really seemed like that was a big task for him to fill and he really didnt want to. Overall this is a good store but now I feel less I have to tread lightly at the meat counter.

Didnt have what I wanted, but it is clean and friendly.

I love Whole Foods. Their produce and hot/salad bar are the areas I shop at the most.Its a nice healthy place to grab lunch at well since I work around there corner.

Im not a fan of Whole Foods.. compared to other markets, overpriced.. they do have a vast selection of seafood and cheese, but average of vegetables and fruits. A nice, but small selection of local beer.

I love this place! Incredible staff, amazing selection of true organic food and a huge list of supplements and oils I havent found anywhere else. gorgeous interior. Only complaint is they need to build one of these on my side of town so I can go more often. Love it!

Dont know. Wasnt there

Love shopping here. Amazing selection of healthy items and vegan foods. Beer and Wine selection is good and you can grab a bite to eat from the eatery or the deli.

Super clean store. Dont shop here often because it is more expensive but they do have some take and eat stuff on the far left. Love the salmon pinwheels

How about no stars. The shelves are full of holes where merchandise should be is bad enough. The person I was told is the customer service team leader (??) couldnt stop talking about her recent breast augmentation the entire time I was in line. Really disappointed in the constant decline of this store.

The experience was fast, convenient and well put together!

Nice and Neat, we went when they were busy.

My favorite place is getting sloppy. I did eat the pizza to take my medicine, I did want my favorite part .. the crust. Now hubby will have to share his crust when I get home with his ... disappointed. At least I got a refund.

I love shopping at Whole Foods Market. It is so healthy to shop there. Shop there almost every week.

Unfortunately, this store is not really taking the Covid-19 threat as seriously as they should at this time. I was in the store this morning and saw several employees walking around with masks not covering their noses. I ordered a coffee and the person who helped me, and also works at the pastry counter, had issues with her nose being exposed. She was a very nice person who was very king and I hope she, and no one in the store, has Covid-19. But the data is very clear there are asymptotic carriers all around us. I generally like this store and am disappointed they are having these issues. I have been to the store a few times since the pandemic started, and things seemed better than today. Im not sure what changed. Mandates did go into affect in Richland County and Forest Acres I believe. So it really seems like things would be more stringent. I cant find the Forest Acres mandate online, but the Richland County ordinance states: 2. All restaurants, retail stores, salons, grocery stores, and pharmacies in the County must require their employees to wear a face covering, which covers the mouth and nose, at all times while having face to face interaction with the public and 5. A person who fails to comply with Paragraph 1 of this Ordinance shall be guiltyof a civil infraction, punishable by a fine of not more than $25.00. A person who fails to comply with Paragraph 2 of this Ordinance shall be guilty of a civil infraction, punishable by a fine of not more than $100.00.I put in a complaint with Whole Foods corporate customer service. They indicated they would pass along the concern, but offered no way for me to be contacted back to get a commitment these issues would be resolved. I think thats really the way this should work. If we dont have confidence in the way a store is managing this pandemic they havent really earned our business. In SC we had more than 1,800 new confirmed cases yesterday. This pandemic is not being taken seriously by far too many. Thats how weve gotten to these numbers of cases and preventable deaths. But Whole Foods customer service recommended I contact the store.So I called and asked for the manager. I got a courteous gentlemen who explained he was a manager. So I explained my concerns. He said the masks they have are ill fitting and slip a lot. My response, you need to get new masks. HIs response, Weve been on the forefront of the Covid-19 response for over 3 months now. My response to that...then you should have masks that fit correctly by now. I really didnt feel like I got any commitment to ensure this is a priority for this business to fix the problem, when the fix seems simple.After I hung up, I had an ironic thought. Theres a site I use for online shopping that offers many items with free shipping in 2 days if you pay for a membership (which I have for years). I suspected they might have some masks available that are highly rated. So I looked and it turns out I was right. They had several masks that looked very well made and got high ratings that could be delivered Monday. The also appeared to easily and reliably cover the mouth and nose fitting all mandates. So you may have guessed it...that site is Amazon. But doesnt Amazon own Whole Foods? Isnt it ironic that a Whole Foods store cant find proper fitting masks? I bet they may have some nice masks that customers have gotten delivered to the lockers in the front of the Whole Foods store. Maybe they could place an order themselves.Businesses need to get serious about this pandemic and we dont need to support those who dont. This needs attention yesterday, not when the manager gets around to getting together some properly fitting masks. We need to get serious before our ICUs fill up and more and more die (as we pass 1,000 deaths in SC today). Businesses should have gotten this right to protect customers and employees, without the need for an ordinance. I dont think our Whole Foods store is serious if theyre willing to break ordinances instead of getting this right.
