    What's not to love about a Whole Foods walking distance from home? This one has great weekly events like wine tastings and an incredible cafeteria! Stop in for lunch or dinner before shopping.

    This location is ALWAYS crowded. If you plan on grocery shopping, I suggest going later on in the day. It's great for quick lunches (sushi, fresh salads/sandwiches, pizza, etc). I love Whole Foods!

    Foggy doggy hot dog stand buns aren't vegan, but they'll make a veggie dog special on a soft corn tortilla!

    I notice they don't serve the pricier vegetarian options during the Meatless Monday special...Wish they would. Overall, the store offers a greater variety of organic than then the Tenley store.

    The carving station in the rear of the store offers a selection of fresh meats, fish, and vegetables. All prepared right before you.

    They told that meat products imported from New Zealand are halal. There are also kosher valley chicken products!

    You can get your bread loaf sliced at the bakery (awesome), but you should know that this is one Whole Foods that won't sell you a half loaf.

    Large variety - smaller than the one in Arlington, but still good

    Pretty fast, plenty of options on the ground floor for lunch/dinner. Make sure you go to the kiosk first to order.

    Smaller than the average Whole Foods, prepared items are on shelves rather than in a deli case. No meal deals are available here. Instead, the space is used for fresh items (sushi, sandwiches, pizza)

    This my FAVE WFs in the DMV. While the Silver Spring and Alexandria stores are larger, the Foggy Bottom has fewer children and strollers.

    The made to order sandwiches are one of the best deals for lunch or dinner in the area.

    Order a tap beer at the coffee shop, sit outside and enjoy the last sprinkles of summer.

    The checkout line here can be a little confusing... make sure to look at the monitor to know when you're up (and make sure others are doing the same)!

    Nice shinny brand new store w/ lots of made-to-order hot food (noodles and burgers) and a sophisticated espresso bar!

    The buffet area is awesome. Much nicer than the Clarendon Whole Foods. Great selection for a city market.

    Mondays are 'Meatless Mondays' in the prepared food section. Fill your plate for a flat rate of 8 dollars from 4-7pm on Monday.

    Waiting in a long line before grabbing your sautéed mushroom and arugula sandwich prepared by a hypersensitive hipster with an unexplained fascination for triangles, worth it.

    If you are looking for anything whole wheat or fat free, you won't find it thanks to all those GW kids.

    If you're trying to grocery shop, avoid Wednesday evenings: "Wine Down Wednesdays". Lines for the wine and food booths block the aisles, and visitors put their plates and glasses on displays. Crowded!

    Tried the new beef bulgoki bowl today. Overall, taste was good, but beef was kind dry and for $9 not sure it's worth it...

    Expect a really long line at the coffee shop early in the morning. It's worth the wait, though.

    If you pay at the kiosk for coffee, you'll have to bug a cashier for a cup — but you can cut the line.

    Watch out for the bottoms of the new chairs. They are sharp and I cut myself while pulling my chair in!

    The most technologically advanced grocery store to date. Ask about the carts with no wheels and hover technology. And don't take no from the customer service when they say they don't have them.

    If you're a sake fan, there are a few little bottles hidden upstairs at the top of the escalators.

    Beware the fish counter. Twice I have bought fish that needed to be returned after getting home and realizing it reeked.

    Stay away from the "fresh baked" bread, it's almost always stale. Other than that, nearly everything's great.

    If you get a sandwich, no need for chips. The sandwich is huge!

    Prepare for a 5 minute conversation about bags each time you check out. Do you need a bag? Recyclable bag? Double bag? How many bags? So tedious. Liberalism is quite exasperating.

    Text MSG notification for prepared food is good, unless you order multiple things. It doesn't tell you which order is ready.
