Finally! A Whole Foods on the UES! Their produce department is massive! Overall, the store is a bit confusing with the layout and different floors, but I'm sure I'll get used to it in no time.

The little coffee shop quick eats setup at the entrance is great. It's isolated from the market and allows people who are there for coffee or quick food stay out of the way of people shopping.

Monica Cullen

Upstairs for produce and other groceries ...downstairs is more express and hot/cold bar that can be eaten in the cafe . Check out line is claustrophobic!

Brett Fromme

Organic, gluten free , lots of kale in every form imaginable. Prepared foods are good and can be consumed in the cafe in ten mezzanine level.

Nikki Beauchamp

Love having one I can walk to finally. Detest the checkout process, winding lines make me think twice before subjecting myself to them.

Molly Stoddart

Groceries upstairs and prepared foods downstairs. Not too crowded in the early mornings, at least so far. Happy to have WF on the UES!

Sayford Ford

Love the Mac and cheese and the chocolate pudding , like to work on my drawing upstairs

Devonta

This Whole Foods has a smaller hot bar but the line moves pretty fast.

Jason Brew

It's very spacious for a New York City grocery store . Has the great and varied selection you expect from Whole Foods

şelale Mertadam

They have great vegetables and fruits . Healthy and best quality products together. The market I always go to.

Chi Nguyen

Glad to see way friendlier staff that care bout checking out customers in less than five min!

Christen Clinkscales

Seems smaller than the other locations in the city . But the multiple-level set-up makes the flow less cramped. The hot food order station and hot bars are a great option for a quick meal .

Наталья

good store, all products are presented in a small assortment . there are pleasant discounts and offers

Nikki Beauchamp

Great options to pick up pastries and flowers for last minute gifts and entertaining

Hannah Murray

Their salad/taco/pizza/sandwich station is amazing, complete with kiosks to place your order and pay ahead of time.

natsumi

The produce and self-serve grains area is great!

Brandon Cobb

The space is tight but smartly organized . Leave the cart, take a basket, and move along!!

Demetrius Bagley

Outside of this store, look for Biagi Gelato Pop-Up Cart and their vegan almond offering

Christina Louise

Can’t believe I found Nandos sauces here! Therefore, any British people need to visit this Whole Foods.

Betül YILDIZ ????

For $50 purchase $10 off. Yayy! But I can say this whole foods look tiny comparing the others. Then again we were waiting for whole foods ages! Thank god we have it

C. Lee Navarro

Love this place. Spacious and the staff was so warm and Welcoming.

Paige C

Why are pickles in 3 different sections? I have found the store to be too complicated of a layout for many foods!

V. Harris

Store is very organized . Found everything i needed. Will be back!

Patrick Wilson

This is my favorite place in New York. Not kidding.

Lauren

It's like Pavlov rang his bell & the whole Upper East Side came running. ????

Andrew Stringfellow

Yes, it's a Whole Foods on the UES, but the service is East Harlem. Poor training leading to poor customer service & interactions. Also, stock rotation is slack, so look to the back for fresher stock.

Jackie

The produce selection is very limited - with only standard lettuce/greens selections. They don't even carry standards like heads of cabbage or escarole , and mustard greens . Not a cook's grocery .

Gi Edgington

Products of the highest quality! My favorite grocery store !

Nikki Beauchamp

Elevator situation is not optimal for anyone with a stroller or a walker. Fairway is more accessible.

V. Harris

Stopped by to pick up my Beets , Oatmeal , Mushroom , Spring Salad . Wonderful day!

Jonathan Goldner

The express line is almost never faster than the main checkout. Don't be fooled.

Amy Robertson

The seating is in a weird mezzanine level that is to the left of the exit

Kimberly NotHoeschle

Love this place anytime I travel!

Kelly Ahearn

Don't look for aisle numbers there are none- must ask!

Natalie V

Nice store but limited selection and staff wasn't super helpful.

dawn.in.newyork

A small selection of DOUGH doughnuts are here.

Luc Doan

Weird layout but it gets the job done

Meghan McGee

Good selection of organic foods

Fortune Cookie

Seating area on the 2nd floor

Diane Jean-Mary

To avoid crazy long lines on Sunday evenings, checkout at customer service

suneel

taqueria is amazing.

Charles Smith

It is what I imagine a Whole Foods Express would feel like.

Chris Munns

The staff here are lazy and rude at many of the food stations. Chelsea, Union Sq, Columbus Circle, Houston stores all so much better

Erica S

My favorite supermarket

Tessa Clarke

*faint* just live it here!

Ryan Gallagher

It has a rough layout, usually a mess.

Kaitlyn Pezik

weird layout . I'd come here for their prepared food (downstairs), but everything else is overpriced and hard to find.

Dora Valkanova

I can never tell who's winning in the ever changing race with Fairway ?!..
