Brett FrommeSeptember 19, 2015Best Whole Foods in midtown. Avoid the mobs at the Columbus Circle madhouse. The food bars are a good value for a meal. The Indian food is spicy and very good at this branch.- Cold food bar has great daily selections. Plenty of seating upstairs- great for reading, getting work done, or catching up with a friend. Lines can be very long at lunchtime, but mostly move quickly.
Olessya KuzAugust 27, 2012Space is small but clean and efficient. There's no need for any more tofu than they already have. And gluten free food too for that matter. $10 orchids are the bomb! Coming back for one tomorrow!Upvoted Feb 22
Daria ZeligerApril 5, 2019Best time to shop on a Friday is around 10am. Everything is restocked and you have space to move around.
PaddyJuly 23, 2016Everything you could want in a grocery store in one convenient place. Checkout moves quickly here, unlike other Wholefoods locations.
Ailie ChangJune 19, 2016In House Made Iced Cold Brew Vietnamese Coffee! Love how it's not as crowded as other Whole Foods.
Sameepa ShettyFebruary 2, 2014I like the fact that it's smaller than other locations. It doesn't confuse you with more options than you need. Get what you want and get out. Only drawback, fewer cash registers. Nice cafe up
Paul AdwAugust 25, 2015Food selection is better than 90% of regular supermarkets in NYC, decent craft beer department too, friendly staff as far as I know.
- Nas BenaliSeptember 28, 2014Whole Foods is our favorite grocery store in NYC in terms of price, quality, and choice. Express check-out upstairs if you have 10 items or less.
You have to try the angel chocolate cake, you'll be amazed by the taste at a price so low
WeemsNovember 25, 2012Zevia soda is best deal in town...come after 8 pm and the store is yours...great food, friendly service, A+ for this neighborhood..
Luc DoanJanuary 31, 2016Underrated location. Best to go on the weekend nights when midtown is a ghost town. Yay to no lines
Small store with more limited selection, but managed to find most of the essentials. Food bar, bakery, and sushi available here. More seating and a juice bar upstairs.
Get a coffee card! 10th coffee is free! Bow chicka wow wow! Plus there is a plenty of almond and soy milk for lactose intolerant peeps
Roman BelovApril 3, 2013Fell in love with this place instantly. Great food, great organics, nice music, cool staff.
Jacob RosenbergApril 19, 2015Nice hot food area. Smallish prepared section. And all the usual Whole Foods quirks.
Jaime SciarrilloSeptember 26, 2013Love the selection here but the process of waiting in line is confusing and can get very hostile!
Kimmie OhhDecember 2, 2019This location is somewhat smaller than what I expected. However, they still had plenty of fresh produce & products
Tim ChinJuly 19, 2018SmartWater and Essentia water are great ! Love the great deals, and the pair with amazon !
The beer selection is very good here, located in the front - near the cash registers.
Maulik JoshiMarch 26, 2013Decent amount of selections; I think the real value is in the upstairs cafeteria - lots of space and a good window view
It's definitely the smallest Whole Foods I've ever seen..but it does the job. Tofu shmofu lol. MEAT!!
Great addition to Midtown East- small location, great hot bar. Definitely gets the job done!
Prepared food. Cheeses. Beer selection. Seafood when on sale and produce.
6/10. Space is smaller, more cramped, not as good 'flow' (ex: No space for a tofu section, only 1/4 of a shelf for tofu now). Staff very friendly. East siders are older, slower, and more entitled.
Walk as fast as you can, without stopping, through the bakery section. The produce looks amazing but is dangerous. #carbcity
Come upstairs and check out the Whole Body Department. Mot crazy busy like other NYC locations. Find serenity now:)
VizualizeDecember 9, 2012Lots of wasted space upstairs. I'd rather see an extensive beer, pickles, olives, coffee section up there. Very limited options compared to other Whole Foods and they are always out of random things.
Make nice with the produce guy and he'll bring out the newer produce from the back.
The checkout line at lunch time just makes you want to turn round and wall straight out. That's exactly what I did today.
YYSeptember 4, 2012Nice service and many kinds of foods. I recommend the garlic sausage with herb. ^^
Not as large as Columbus circle location, but still the best grocery store in the area.
People leaving bad tips here must not realize how awesome having this whole foods is compared to the other crappy supermarkets and grocery stores in this area!
Decent selection of dairy free and gluten free foods. Express lane is upstairs. Avoid on Mondays after work.
Laurence FridalSeptember 13, 2012Whole Foods sell THE best, I shall repeat, THE BEST Coconut Water. Look for the slogan, "Never Heated, Always Harmless."
nava writzJune 16, 2013Get your lunch and go upstairs over looking the 57th street NYC at its best .
Tons of bums which is nice. You hardly see them at other Whole Foods
Always crowded. But quality food. Making chicken cordon blue and brussel sprouts.
AminaZenaOctober 31, 2012it's like a convenience store version of a regular Whole Foods, I wouldn't do major shopping here but it's good to have one on the Upper East Side
Bing ReidMarch 4, 2015Speedier lines than their other branch. No anti-biotics, hormones in meat and bad pesticides. No need to read harmful ingredients - that's why I cut my time shopping.
Maxwell SchianoAugust 26, 2012Where's the rest of whole foods?! Terrible beer selection! Shoddy gluten free grocery choices. You'll be a lot happier at Columbus Circle if you are uptown.
Emily LJanuary 27, 2014People in this neighborhood are probably started for decent grocery stores. But the layout is terrible and so is the selection.
Read the ingredients in the prepared foods very carefully. (Quinoa made with chicken stock, por ejemplo)
Being FattyJanuary 14, 2015It's not the biggest whole foods, and it's certainly not the cheapest grocer but you can't fault the quality.
I'd eat here everyday if I could. The food is delicious!!
