Whole Foods Market - Upper Arlington

One of the best places to find vegan specialty items. A bit expensive, though. Updated from previous review on 2021-06-01

Pleasant whole foods environment. Always have plenty of fresh vegetables and a great bulk section. They also just got an awesome fresh squeezed OJ machine that's incredible. Love it!

This place is well worth the trip for brunch! It is tiny and located in a long strip of equally unimpressive shops, but the food is magnificent. Our brunch with veggie sausage! was absolutely perfect. It was crowed, as you would imagine a place this good would be, but so worth it once we took one bite of our pancakes. Light, fluffy, with clusters of blueberries these were really exceptional. This place also offers really great juices! They had bakery items from pattycake (vegan bakery down the street) too. They were preparing soups when we left and they smelled amazing. The service is the one glitch here. They don't seem to designate tables to specific servers, but rather have some collective process of serving customers. Ideologically nice as that may be it means service is sporadic at best. I stared at the bottom of an empty coffee mug for far too long. They are too busy for an informal service plan to work.

Whole Foods gets a bad rap for being too expensive, but I feel like you just need to know what to buy there! They have great red pepper hummus, an amazing selection of kombucha. Your salad bar is a bit expensive, but you need to consider it as you eat! And you get to choose a small change plate! Her garlic raw vegan cal salad is my absolute favorite!!! It's just toooo good! I make my own inspired return at home now with red quinoa. Your maize muffin salty caramel cupcakes are also amazing!!! But I just... I asked when they would have them again, and they told me they were one of the most popular, but they didn't know if they would bring them back or not, what was a little confusing and they didn't have them since or at least every time I'm there: I also think it's pretty cool that they have a wine cooler! You can buy a bottle of white wine for a party and have it cooled while you finish your grocery shopping! Too cool! You also have an amazing selection and price on Dr Bronner's soap!

One of the top spots for vegan specialties. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it. Updated from the previous rating on June 1, 2021.
