  The best deal in the store is the 2 for $5 taco special at the taco bar. If that's not your thing, go for the beef brisket sandwich, avail. at back of store.

  The pizza is so good! I would also try the sushi.

  Be sure to check in at HALF FOODS as well :) it's located...halfway through the store. :)

  Go when you're hungry on the weekend and sample everything. You'll end up buying new, cool foods that you probably wouldn't have before.
• Jordan Langdon

  Come with absolutely no list and watch your shopping cart fill to bursting with things you didn't know you wanted. Check out the salad bar and their newly revamped bulk foods & produce sections. Nom.
• Brittany Blackmon

  Quite possibly my favorite place to eat in Austin. Nothing prepares you for the hot food bar and all of that deliciousness. Carrot ginger soup is to die for. Wish they would tweet daily soup offerings

  This particular Whole Foods is straight up epic. Think of it as a Walmart Supercenter that lacks white trash and Tweetie Bird t-shirts. There is literally a wine bar in the store! It's nucking futs!

  Where to begin with this one? Take a stroll down beer alley and don't get mugged. Then observe the radical time and care taken at the bakery and cheese stations. Don't forget to grab a beer @thebar
• Heather

  Everything is fantastic, but the Agua Frescas are stand outs. Pineapple Mint is the most refreshing.
• George Tabares

  Great breakfast tacos, but have them separate the filling (in a cup) from the shell to prevent the whole thing from falling apart.

  Taco cup is the best breakfast deal, also better cheaper coffee than Starbucks.
• Andrew Sanderson

  Thursday is Baby Friday and also 3 topping $9.99 Brick-fired Pizza day.

  Don't use the parking here. The parking garage is badly designed and the customers clueless on how to use it. The store itself is good if rather pleased with itself.
• Rachelle King

  Looking for a fantastic meal check out either North Side Trattoria or 5th Street Seafood - you can get an amazing meal at both!

  Love the parking spot indicator lights! Can be so chaotic in the parking garage, so they're helpful.

  Is it a requirement to park like a total douche bag at this particular Whole Foods? No one respects the lines, no one.
• David J. Neff

  Notice the new parking sensors? Follow the electronic signs to find open spots on each floor.

  The local beer selection is amazing and the fridges are so cool
• AzyxA

  Tree acquired!
• Jennifer Reiney

  Looks like the renovations are finished now. Had the pizza which is now combined with the Pasta bar & hot food area. The personal pizza used to be $5 for 3 toppings but now cost 8 & wasn't as good.
• Cash Edwards

  OMG so awful Whole Foods left the carts in the rain. They are sopping wet. Hey WF water and paper packaging? not great together!
• Cassandra Schloser

  The store is a mess right now in prepared food area. Under renovations. Not as much selection as normal. Went all the way to fish/sushi area & had a asian soup bowl & sat at sushi bar.
• Jordan Stone

  The good parking spots here are like you reach school. You're just not going to get into them.
• Willem Spruijt

  Great place to go after a work-out.
• Hannah Herzog

  Alright y'all, I love Whole Foods, but if you're looking for an awesome vegan burrito, go somewhere else. They're a little skimpy on the ingredients and just a little meh.
• Jennifer Reiney

  A lot of remodeling of eating areas in progress. Nice it's being done without disturbance to customers.
• Cassandra Schloser

  Love this place.. I am here a lot. But when I ordered my latte with regular milk I got my head chewed off because they were very confused about what that meant. To him regular is 2% milk!!

  Vegan options at the hot bar are limited. If you're also gluten free it's worse. I'm always disappointed when I come here. The employees are also rude and defensive if you ask for vegan gf items.
