Great place to shop or grab a meal. Lots of selection. They can prepare you something fresh or grab something of the shelves. Lots of checkouts to speed along the process and even tables so you can eat there. Prices are reasonable and the quality is great. If you need something quick, this is for you!

It is a great Whole Foods, however, the breakfast bacon was a little disappointing.
This Whole Foods lies in the basement of the Time Warner Center and is accessible via elevator and escalator.
On a Sunday morning, you should be able to browse easily enough without bumping into many people, but on other times, it gets pretty busy.
The dining area was clean and welcoming. There is a juice bar under the escalator and a lot of other stuff available to eat, too.
Enjoy!

It's probably the biggest Whole Foods in the city.
They have large Cannoli cream filled Lobster Tails (pastry) that I love. Please note: They cost $4.00 each and don't always have them :(
They have someone new (June 2018) at the pastry area that isn't very nice (she may jump over the counter and punch you). I almost didn't go back. If she does something again, I am getting the manager. I spend too much money there to feel threatened. If you don't understand what I want, ask me again.
They have most of the groceries I buy. Just check your receipt before you leave because I once got charged for something that I did not purchase and it wasn't even in the bag. Weird.
They need to give out numbers at their pastry area since there is no line.

This is one of my favorite Whole Foods in Manhattan -as long as you go off peak hours ( opening until 3 p.m. / 8:30 p.m. till 11 p.m. closing) . The other times in between are crowded with very long lines physically but they always move fast. Be prepared for bumping carts.
just to be clear it's located on the sub one level right at the main entrance of the malls. Easy to spot if you enter there but easy to miss if you enter from any other side of the building.
Even so, anytime is a good time for the prepared food section. I call it Sushi Pizza because you can pretty much get anything with anyting on top of anything else and I must say the food is outstanding.
Fresh sushi, great comfort food, variety of interesting rectangular pizza cooked fresh from brick ovens, various cuisines such as Spanish, Mexican, Indian & Asian, a huge make your own fresh salad bar, and of course the infamous desert section.
I often come here just to get a little taste of everything and they charge by the pound not by the type of cuisine. There's a seating area with ample seating which fills up during peak hours. But you usually can scout and find a leaving person or party within 5 minutes. Don't be shy sitting across from a stranger- everyone is too into their food and devices to notice.
As far as the aisle shopping, it's your standard Whole Foods: a great selection of fresh and non-perishables at prices higher than I'd like to pay. I usually head up the ten blocks to Trader Joe's for much better prices albeit it less selection. Though it's hard to complain when you have things like a massive cheese display area with selections more than you need.
Checkout can sometimes feel painful when you first get in line but it's surprising how fast it moves. All in all for a very Central and tourist heavy Whole Foods I've always had good experiences here.The staff here are particularly friendly and helpful.
Bonus: There is a self-serve Amazon locker package pickup in the front of this Whole Foods. Nothing better then grabbing your items safely stored in a ocker(not on your stoop or in your doorway), getting a little snack from the prepared section and opening your packages while you nosh!

Amazing awesome place to buy fresh vegetables and organic food. They have a great selection in every section. They also have a supplement section. Fresh fish and meat. Sushi bar and deli section. It takes more than 30 mins just to look around. We love to even hang out because of the amazing feel. They have small restaurants inside.
