Whole Foods Market - Huntington Beach, California

Love the fresh juices here but every time I come it’s closed. Either a break sign up or this sign today that they’re only open on the weekends? Really disappointing coming from a large chain like Whole Foods.

I'm constantly on the move, always looking for the perfect balance between work, nutrition, and atmosphere. Let me tell you, Whole Foods? It nails it every single time.

Now, here's the deal. Every Whole Foods has its vibe, and this location is a notch above the rest. It's not just a store, but a destination. It has a large, open dining area that is absolutely perfect for digging into a scrumptious lunch while hammering out some work. Talk about multitasking!

But let's get to the food because, oh boy, it's delightful. Fresh prepared food bars and a pizza station that whips up a mean bbq chicken pizza. The kicker? You can pair it with a craft beer, right from the pizza counter. Yes, you heard me. Craft. Beer.

Have a sweet tooth? You won't be disappointed. The bakery churns out some amazing treats. I can't resist snagging a cookie, or let's be real, two, from the bulk cookie bar. You can't say no to cookies, right?

When it comes to variety, the meat counter is impressive. Fresh smoked meats, BBQ meats, you name it, they've got it. The seafood counter doesn't disappoint either. I mean, this is the full package.

And hey, in this digital age, Whole Foods' Amazon return policy is a game-changer. No box needed for your returns; they just scan the QR code and pack it into a box for you. Simple, smooth, and hassle-free.

Bottom line? Fantastic store, excellent staff, fresh food, and a great location. Whole Foods Market in Huntington Beach is an experience you don't want to miss. Remember, eat better, work better, live better.

I went a handful of times. My experience at the coffee bar has been awful, but my experience with the salad bar has been good.

The first two times I went to the coffee bar, it was closed. I hadn't realized they had such odd hours, so I took a photo on my phone to know when they would be open. (At the time they were open 4 days a week, now it's 3.) On my third trip there, there was a sign put out that they were on lunch. However, I noticed a woman making drinks behind the bar so I wanted to ask her a question. I wanted to know if one of their drinks was available so that I could come back later in the day, after their lunch, to order it. After waiting for a few minutes, I decided she may be too busy so I stepped away. While that did not bother me, I was upset when she immediately began helping the woman who was waiting behind me in line as soon as she saw me leave. I still wanted this drink so I returned later in the day when they were open again. I was first in line and waited about 15 minutes while the woman making drinks continued to ignore me. I decided 15 minutes was enough time to wait without any acknowledgment and left. I decided I would still return another day, but if it was the same employee working, I simply would not order. I returned 2 more times during which the espresso machine was non-functional. I had called around 8 times to ensure they would be open/not on lunch so that I did not waste a trip, but was unable to reach them a single time. On my final trip, I decided to just order a drink anyway since I had returned far too many times. The new woman taking my order was polite and did not make me wait 15 minutes to greet me.

The salad bar is a better option. I usually pick out what I want and take it to the self-checkout which has been an efficient process. However, during one of the times I was checking out, the scale did not work, so I was unable to pay. The present attendant was talking to another employee and I couldn't grab his attention, so I clicked the call for help button. No one showed for a few minutes so I left and waited in one of the lines to purchase the food.

Overall, the food is good, while the drinks and staff are not.

It never ceased to amaze me how talented and beautiful It is to have good customer service men and women at this store.

Gabby rocks and so do i..

Keep up the good management. The line is getting bigger for these sandwiches and quite amazing by the second.

I love this location! Ample seating for studying and eating. AC is cool. Lots of options for lunch at their self serve or burrito bar. Higher prices than other grocers, but you pay for quality.

The ENTIRE STAFF IS RUDE! Every area EXCEPT the self check out gal! She was nice and helpful however the Bakery helper was rude the CHECKOUT GAL WAS THE WORST... let me know this wasn't her first rodeo when I asked her how I wanted my items bagged . The front desk person was dry and uninviting seemed to be the manager. Seems if the entire staff is miserable it has to be the work environment or shoddy hiring where they just got all duds! Never going ask to this location.

Excellent with Amazon Prime discount. Friday $12 for dozen oysters (ie 1/2 off). Friday also $12 whole pizza, freshly baked, single topping. The seafood guy put a lot of care in to my oyster order (see pics/vids). Easy parking and so convenient cuz movie theatre, Costco/gas and rest of Bella Terra.

I come here often, and have rarely had a friendly or courteous experience with staff members. There is a very weird "I hate my life" unfriendly vibe here.

For my recent New Years party, I went to the deli counter to order food, the young girl helping me was rather short and dry. It was like pulling teeth to get her to lighten up, as I was asking advice about what to get for my party. I ended up asking another customer for tips on what to order.

I then made my way over to the pastries to order dessert. Let me tell you, the young long-haired brunette gal who helped me out there made the deli girl look like a Saint! This one had an even more terrible attitude. I was trying to be friendly with her and ask advice on what I should get for my party, she had a resting B-face the whole time, no matter how friendly and upbeat I was, she was not having it. I ended up getting about 30 pieces of the mini desserts and got the heck out of there. She clearly hates her job and interacting with customers. They should put her in the warehouse unloading boxes or something instead. Despite her bitter attiitude, the desserts were amazing though!

I will say, the night before, I stopped by to check out desserts about 30 min before closing and the middle-aged lady that helped me was extremely nice, helpful and suggested that I come back the next day to order fresh for my party on NYE, which I did.

When I went to the front to pay for over $20] worth of food, the cashier and the young African American gal were chit chatting like I wasn't even there. No hi, hello, nada! As I was grabbing my items to leave, I said Happy New Year to the young girl bagging, she literally ignored me and didn't say a word back. Wow! Something is very wrong with the culture here. Everyone needs to go back to customer service training for real!

I'm simply not going to continue to spending my money where customers are treated so poorly and made to feel like crap by staff. I'd much rather shop at Sprouts or Trader Joe's where staff is always courteous.

Wholefoods needs to stop hiring these entitled, lazy woke millennial kids. That crap don't fly in HB.
