Since Whole Food is based out of Austin, their downtown store is a destination. It's nice to look at the array of food (rather pricey), but the in-store "serving stations" are what makes it fun. Go there to window shop, but plan to eat lunch. Good food! More

My vegan friend who's moved away just HAS to make her regular pilgrimage to this great farmer's market type store which has every type of fruit, fresh food and even spa type items. It is a GREAT way to spend an afternoon and you might even see a LA-now-in-Austin celebrity as they like to shop here, I'm told (why can't... More

It was fun, sensory-overload experience to visit the flagship Whole Foods. Food stations were everywhere, and there's even a small bar in the middle of the store where you can order draft beer or pop a bottle that you bought in their walk-in cooler. More

They pretty much have everything organic that you could think of. Just be ready to pay for it as the prices are a bit steep compared to other places that offer organic food. More

Bigger and better than the Portland Oregon stores, which I like. I browsed the store for long enough that I wanted some lunch. I bought a custom-made smoothie, not off the menu, with just fruit and juice. And I tried the day's taco special. Yum! No wonder the prepared food counters were so busy. More

Consistently good quality but very pricey. Don't like the store layout very much. I'm more of a Central Market fan. More
