I've pedaled AustinTX-USA inside & out, up & down, West to East on 290, and have always found this Hill Country capital extremely interesting. Among the many fascinating aspects is this Whole Foods Market, with some rather nice bike parking underneath the main facility, with escalator access from the parking garage area. However, I was not pedaling on this occasion... More

Whole Foods is a great place to visit for many reasons. The food is great. It can be pricey but there are usually specials and if you look around, you can get a good meal at reasonable prices. I love the food bars. Lots of samples. Wonderful people watching experience. Comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and ambience.. You can sit indoors... More

Their selection of food is great. They have everything from sushi to pizza to sandwiches. They have a nice patio for outdoor dining.

This is what happens when a grocery store goes all out and can execute. When you can stand near the frozen section and not feel cold, view a salad bar that's well-filled and (gasp) nicely presented, and, in general, do all the things that other locations miss, you have a model grocery experience. Whole Foods may be considered "Whole Paycheck"... More

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Whole Foods, but this isn't an organic playground, it's still a Whole Foods grocery store. They have some cool additional eateries and food options but it's funny to think it's a tourist attraction for some. No granola waterfalls or organic sushi moon-bounces, at least none that we saw.

This was our first encounter with Austin's lifestyle. I love shopping in Supermarkets, specially if they are as fancy as Whole Foods. I could not beleive the variety. The Granola Is too much! So many options, plus you could make your own mix, the Spices area, pink salt from India, Chia in bulk as 1,000 others... The coffee section, a... More
