Great place to shop so far! This is my favorite whole foods for my weekly grocery shopping. This location is well organized and very clean. The staff is courteous and friendly for the most part. Kudos for the hiring manager!

Kind of pricey. Good selection for Keto/Vegan/vegetarian products. Ordered through Amazon groceries. Took a long time to get my items. Plus, I had deleted some items and they still charged me and brought the deleted items.

This checkout bagging person - only lane 2 was open - whose name tag I did not note, was the best. I have shopped at WF Medford, MA since it began and no one has ever put so much love in my grocery bag for me to discover and experience when I got home. Thank you, lady! #feelthelove

Good sized store with plenty to of items to choose from, that is very clean and well organized. Friendly staff and fairly large parking lot. Very heavily scented(even with mask on)as most whole foods are. But if youre sensitive to strong smells you might not want to go inside. Bakery and nice meat section as well. Plenty of room in aisles and food areas to move around and not feel crowded in tiny aisles, like some whole food stores. Very pleasant store to shop in. Havent been in a whole food store in years because they were so outrageously over priced years ago. But I just got a gallon of milk and some hamburger and the prices were actually not horribly higher than other stores. Definitely will go back and check out prices on other items as I really enjoyed this store. Definitely recommend giving it a try.

The store was nice and organized. I was walking in circles looking for one thing.. there was a staff member close by to ask is there anything I can help you with?. I said yeah, WAS GIVEN A YEAH, RIGHT HERE. Awesome Service

Nice, big, clean store with lots of options, friendly staff, and is now owned by Amazon. Supposedly with lower prices but I didnt see anything astounding today. Also they are attached to a Starbucks and share the restroom with their customers.

Thanks to the kind lady who let us into the rest room when the store was not open yet. We came from a travel and my son really wanted to use rest room. All places around didnt let us. Thank you for the kindness.P.S. By the way, great crab soup! Later we purchased it there.

Whole food market was good but I was a bit confused. They had a lot of half foods (i.e. 1/2 watermelons, 1/2 roast chickens, 1/2 cakes...etc) I will still give 5 stars as I was able to get a whole cucumber & a whole sandwich.Will return.

This is hands down my favorite Whole Foods in the area. This is mostly to do with the patrons being a bit more relaxed than in some of the nearby locations. Its possible the store has a little more space to work with.

The days of leisurely drives to the grocery store are long gone. WFM is now teeming with fast-moving experienced shoppers ready to run over babies to complete their orders. Nonetheless, the food, hours, and service are all excellent.

Review №25

This is the wort place to shop simply because there are way too many inexperienced prime shoppers on the sales floor who literally park their carts right in front of the products while shopping. There is a lady Ive seen who trains them telling them to keep their carts with them wherever they go. It is completely senseless to keep your cart in front of the products and literally dragging all along. They need to do better at training these shoppers. To make matters worst, I had to have a conversation with the manager by the name of Molly and she didnt even care. Every time I am there to shop, Molly whos suppose to be a manager only walks around the entire store doing absolutely nothing with herself. I can tell the frustration from these shoppers comes from management. They seem miserable because management puts so much pressure on them but dont support them. Ive even over heard not one but a couple of times --They keep hiring people who cant seem to understand what theyre doing but firing people who knows what theyre doing for bogus reasons. Managers likes to pick and choose who to fire but never sees the bright hard working side of people. As far as the Whole foods team, their management see to be more wonderful. They seem to care more about customers concerns. They will greet, say hello and know the meaning of customer service. Upper management really needs to have a chat with these prime shoppers and their manager. They need to have an open door policy. Its obvious management takes sides more on how many orders can these shoppers take and not even care if there are babies in the store. Worrying about how many orders a shopper can take is way more important than someone hurting themselves with their carts. UNBELIEVABLE.

I was just a little confused the last time I came here. I was shopping for my mom and she loves yogurt. I went to where the yogurt usually is and was surprised to find it was filled with thousands of tiny lizards. As I got close to the lizards they all stopped and looked at me in perfect unison. I looked at the price tag cause I figured with this many lizards there must have been a deal on them. However the tags didnt have prices on them but intricate coordinates. I didnt end up buying a lizard cause I didnt know if I had enough money on me. Im glad you guys added a lizard section but please make it more clear to where you moved the yogurt.

A nice mid-sized Whole Foods. I appreciate that theres usually a display with seasonal local produce right at the front! This location has more selection than the Arlington location (especially a bigger produce section and the bulk bins) but is smaller than the huge one by Alewife (which I find hard to navigate). I always go at the busiest time, Sunday afternoon, but am still able to find parking and get through the store pretty quickly. Stars of the show: cookie bar and bulk bin oats.

Review №56

I try not to shop here. It’s the closest market to my home unfortunately. It’s owned by Amazon, one of the worst companies in the world. Whole Foods makes rich people feel like they’re doing something good for the world since they sell a lot of organic stuff, but then those same people keep living their destructive lives feeling like they made a difference when they really haven’t.

This particular store has the best vegan pizza (by the slice) out of all Whole Foods in the area. There is this amazing sauce-less mushroom vegan pizza. If you see it there, get it! Soooo good. An after work go-to for me. Have probably had this pizza 30+ times now.

Great store. I love having it nearby. A bit pricey so we have to be careful what we buy here. The food bar is also a temptation. My son loves to pick these big heavy salads, with mac and cheese, which adds up quickly!

Review №64

As with most WF in the area, this one is filled with wonderful and diverse items. Youll also find a range of niche specialities that larger stores wont necessarily carry. Service and staff are all friendly, and can definitely help you find what youre looking for if you ever feel lost or overwhelmed by the selection. My personal favorite: their seasonal sumo citrus oranges; theyre absolutely huge in both flavor and size!If this review was helpful, please consider a thumbs up. It would be greatly appreciated!

An employee named Vinnie is the reason i am writing this review. He has outstanding customer service skills, always has a smile, engages my kids in conversation, and is just a ray of sunshine while being efficient.Otherwise the store has a good selection, easy to park, literally 2 seconds away from the main road that leads to Rte 2.

My favorite whole foods! The store is huge and very organized and their prepared foods are so much better than arlington down the road. The staff is cheerful and motivated. Only downside is the traffic on rush hour but that store is worth driving a bit more. If you like whole foods youll love this store.

The help is a hassel. They could do a lot better.I go in to look to see what I need, or what Itrust because I have bought it before.They want your money but do not treatyou like youre their customer.Customer Service is, if not very poor.Non - existant.If I could find what I need and be satisfied,like yogurt fruit bread. But the atmosphereis too weird to enjoy it.

Whole foods in Medford is great. Bakery and produce staff are always a pleasure and so helpful. Prices are coming down; seedless grapes $1.99 this week; 85% lean grass fed burger $3.99.

Review №74

Pricey but good (especially the prepared foods), as wholefoods go. The pizza wasnt the greatest.Update (2017-09)Certain items have seen decrease in price, but overall, they are still higher than elsewhere. If you value their curation of products, the additional margin isnt too unreasonable.

Review №76

Please train the Amazon return employees to ask if the customer wants refund or store credit! Refunding for store credit without asking is a dishonest practice, it doesn’t reflect well on the store.

Review №77

This is my first & last time to this location. I thought the Charlestown one was bad with a poor produce section always very poorly stocked, in addition to other items throughout the store. This location is worse! I’m fortunate to have been to various Whole Foods locations across several states on the East coast, and the Boston area ones are by far the worst. Lynnfield is probably the most decent one in the area.

Im obsessed with the fact that whole foods bakery always has vegan items for sale. Its such a life-saver when theres no time to cook at home. They are also catered to a literally whole foods plant based lifestyle which is amazing because they always have fresh produce, vegan alternatives for every food type and soooo much more. The healthcare and wellbeing items for sale are also out of this world. I could spend fortunes in that store! Not to mention the face that Starbucks is a great addition to every store. Loving the Amazon prime membership discount on top of everything.

Usually I stop by at this place for only Starbucks but sometimes would go in for a mini Tuna Salad which is basically this small $4 tuna burger. Today the cashier just rang $8.55 for this small thing without even questioning the steep price for a tiny burger. When I protested, he acted like...what?! and then asked some lady to just disappear with the burger in hand!This is the second time this so called mislabeled incident has happened to me! What if I hadn’t known about the price of this tiny nugget....?By the way I’ve never had this problem at other Wholefoods locations!

Review №96

Prices are too high and the store is filled with weird items. Its where all the artsie,fartsie, hippy dippy people shop. Toms tooth paste and environmentally freindly dish soap. I only go in for fresh vegetables. Otherwise everything else is overpriced. You can find all your everyday items in weird packaging and going for a dollar more than its competitors. I shop here occasionally because its within walking distance from the house. But I would never shop here intentionally. I had an incident in there once where the Bakery manager was not only rude but 100 percent. Wrong in an answering a question about a baking technique. 38 yrs in the industy, I believe I know what Im talking about. Its a long story I wont bore you with the details, but her answer to a customer was absolutely 100 percent incorrct, and she couldnt have been more condescending. The whole store has a were so much better than you vibe.

Hard to get a vegan-friendly non-GMO parking space, but their quality bakery selection, fresh produce and underground social justice mixers always make up for it. Four stars!
