WFM Coffee Bar — Restaurant in Boca Raton

Dirtiest Whole Foods...I got food poisoning from the hot bar. Never again will they get my business, especially since you must be an Amazon Prime member to receive discounts. I am over Whole Foods. 6/9/2018 I have visited many Whole Foods across the nation. This location is by far the absolute worst. Coming from Columbus Ohio, and Virginia, the northern stores are much, much nicer than the Florida stores. There is absolutely no comparison. I was totally disappointed with the Whole Foods stores here, but the Boca location is by far the worst. This weekend, I got food poisoning from something off the hot bar. Reading reviews from others from this site and other review sites, this seems to be quite normal. I have a cousin who has gotten food poisoning twice from here. When I tasted the food I thought it had an odd taste, tasted actually really bad so I took it back to the counter and told them so. Within an hour, I was horrifically ill and was ill all night with it coming out both ends. I ended up being sick the following day as well. I should've known better looking at the old dirty food that was sitting around the buffet area. About three weeks ago I purchased shrimp from the seafood department. When I ate it, it was so awful I threw it out while almost throwing up. It tasted old, and rancid. Another occasion I purchased octopus. When I brought it home and opened it up in the kitchen, the smell was horrifying; it was so rancid. I did not even attempt to cook that. Since Amazon took over, this store, all Whole Foods in general have gone downhill. I used to be a whole benefit member for my supplements. I had purchased all of my supplements from Whole Foods. Now they have done away with that and I have to be an Amazon Prime member to get a 10% discount. I will no longer purchase any supplements from Whole Foods again. I will purchase online or find another retail location. I easily spent $1000 a month at Whole Foods on food, supplements, and whole body products. I always knew they were overpriced, but it was convenience that I was after. I vow, from this day forward, to never shop in a Whole Foods again. Oh yes, and I grown quite tired of seeing pets, NOT Service dogs in the store, in the grocery carts, sniffing food etc. I have a disabled army vet son who JUSTIFIABLY could use a service dog. People that bring their pets into the store claiming them to be service dogs are insulting those who truly do need a service dog. I don't want dog feces in my grocery cart when I'm putting food in there. This just adds to the filth and dirt that is already in this unkempt Whole Foods store. Boy I can keep going, and this one relates to the West Palm store, not the Boca store but I will say it anyways because Whole Foods is Whole Foods. I went to purchase some chocolate covered almonds from the self-serve area. There were malted milk balls mixed in with the almonds. I cannot eat gluten or malt. I did bring this to the attention of the staff and they removed the contaminated almonds immediately. Kudos for that unless they simply went and took out the malted milk balls and put the almonds back! My rant is over for now, but boy I could...

Whole Foods Market was founded in Austin, Texas, when four local businesspeople in the natural foods industry, John Mackey and Renee Lawson Hardy, owners of Safer Way Natural Foods, and Craig Weller and Mark Skiles, owners of Clarksville Natural Grocery decided that there was enough interest in natural foods that they could launch a supermarket. The original Whole Foods Market opened in 1980 with a staff of only 19 people. At the time Whole Foods opened there was less than 6 natural food supermarkets in the United States. In 1981 the Austin Whole Foods was wiped out by a flood. It was almost the end of the venture but creditors, investors, and the community worked together to rebuild and reopen the store 28 days later.

By 1984, Whole foods began expanding out of. Texas. The Florida region of Whole Foods was created in 1997 when Bread of Life in Plantation, a popular natural foods store created Julie and Richie Gerber, organic farmers from Maine merged with Whole Foods. Amazon acquired the company for $13.7 billion on August 28, 2017. There are now 500 stores in North America and 7 in the United Kingdom. All of the products sold in the store are free from hydrogenated fats, high fructose corn syrup, and artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Whole Foods strives to sell organic foods and products that are environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible. All body care products must meet the company's body care standards, which bans more than 100 commonly used ingredients, including phthalates, parabens and microbeads.

This Whole Foods in Boca Raton on Glades opened in April of 2001 in the University Commons shopping plaza. This is a very large and heavily trafficked store. Whole Foods has the WFM Coffee Bar, a full service coffee shop, Sushi Maki serving fresh sushi, a hot food buffet and salad bar, a bakery that offers custom cakes, breads, and pastries, ethically and humanely raised hormone free meat, meat alternatives, cold pressed fruit and vegetable juice, smoothies, beer, wine, cheese, flowers, produce, and groceries. For the holidays they were selling fresh Christmas trees. You can order what you want on Amazon and pick it up for free in the store. You can also pick up and return your Amazon packages.

I have visited this Whole Foods many times through the past 20 years. I have gotten take out from the buffet and purchased groceries and organic fruits and vegetables. On this trip I was looking for pearl couscous to add to the turkey soup I was making. While shopping I noticed that prices were much better under Amazon. I easily found what I was looking for and check out was fast. I have been a long time Whole Foods customer and it is a great resource to have for anyone concerned about how their food is raised and what they are putting...

This is my fourth attempt in trying to get a customer service issue resolved. I'm typically not one to leave a negative review but I have stopped by customer service and have spoken to several managers over the course of 6 months about a particular individual who works self checkout by the name of Patricia/Priscilla. • One of the very first incidents was when attempting to scan a 16 oz fresh squeezed orange juice. The self-serve bottles finally have barcodes on them. But the barcodes don't work. It reads "unknown code". Management is aware. So I always select the 16 oz fresh orange juice in a plastic cup and straw that is pictured since there is no 16 oz fresh orange juice in the container with black lid. It rings up the same price. My issue is I had already scanned the orange juice and put it in the Brown Bag, Patricia/Priscilla came over and loudly asked are you going to pay for that? To which I gave her a confused look and said yes I already have. Now I have customers looking at me. She physically removed the orange juice from my bag, went to go get her blue binder, pulled up the code, put it into the register and then walked away. With my OJ in hand. So I turn to her and ask can I have my orange juice. She glances up looks at me in the eyes smirks and then turns back to the customer she's now assisting. Customers are still looking and now my 5-year-old is getting impatient. I asked her again can I please have my orange juice? She looks again laughs and says oh sorry and finally returns it. Again I call out to her are you going to remove the original orange juice that I had already scanned? She gives me a confused look comes back looks through everything on the screen and says, Oh, then removes it. Then walks away. With no apology. Now please put yourself in my shoes, I live in this neighborhood and shop at this particular store almost daily. Do you know how incredibly embarrassing it is to be pegged as a thief? Because ultimately that's what she was trying to convey. At least that's how I felt and I'm sure that is how the many customers that were there, took it to mean as well. I made a complaint to the manager. It has to be in records and video. •Today again at self-checkout I had some juice, Coca-Cola's, Prosecco ect My 5-year-old was with me on our daily grocery run. This time she prevents my son from ringing up the items. Says he cannot because hes a child and not of age. Now my kid thinks he's done something wrong. At this point I have had it. How dare some random hateful person say ANYTHING TO MY CHILD?! HE IS FIVE. He can ring it all up! It's a shame because besides that, Whole Foods is great. I once enjoyed...
