Actually this whole food in Walnut Creek is wonderful place. I always come to this store many time because it very close to my house .I love this place and all the people that working here there were so nice but since this night. I got a problem with the Amazon kiosk about returning the stuff. I ask the lady for help “ very nicely with nice voice for help “ her name is Tiffany . She so rude to me . She scolded to me and acted like a person that always angry and have a lot of problems all of her life . I don’t know why she so made . But I think if she just talk to me like a normal person talk to each other everything will be fine . I feel sorry to this whole food . All your stuff there were so very kind and nice but just only that lady 😞.

Wide variety of different foods. Loved the Bakery section so much to choose from. Also, you can return Amazon packages with ease at this business.

Went to Whole Foods for the first time recently, I probably need to go a few more times before making a decision to shop here all the time. First impression, produce was fresh. Only negative was that they dont have all the brand names I take for granted.

Great variety of organic options. I typically go for the hot bar. The food is usually fresh and flavorful. The service is not the best. The clerks are usually focused on getting the lines down so no time for pleasantries I assume but they arent rude just not friendly.

First time I have oeseeed your catering. I ordered 4 appetizer trays for Easter brunch and it saved my life! I had some main dishes I cooked but this was just amazing. I will never have a party again without ordering at least some of my menu from Whole Foods

I dont come here too often to be perfectly honest, but when I do its always a pleasant experience. They have a deli section, cooked food, bakery, fresh produce, baby stuff, fresh flowers, plants and herbs. It is just a plethora of things. A sitting area outside where you can sit outside and enjoy your food or baked goods that you have purchased in store. I have to say It is a little pricey though in comparison to other grocery stores but sometimes it is worth paying that little extra for wholesome food. For those of you who drive,there seems to be ample parking space, I do not drive I usually walk down. Worth a visit if you have not already been. Lots of organics for the clean eaters.

The original Whole Foods in Walnut Creek. Compact in size compared to newer WF locations.Has everything what you can find in a Whole Foods - bakery, deli, salad bar, Allegro Coffee Bar, Pizza Bar, olive bar, cheese bar, fresh meat and seafood counter, floral department, and produce area as you walk in.Con - parking lot is small and tight for the amount of people who come here to shop.

Huge selection of food, frozen, fresh, hygienic needs and a full self service lunch bar and a pizza corner that sells by the slice. It was nice finding everything in one shop. Amazon has a new kiosk there and I love it which leaves the whole food employees to focus on their job at whole foods.

I honestly like the variety of fresh food options, always something tasty to have for dinner in case you are in a hurry

Very pleasant and clean store. It is not too big, so it is easy to navigate and find things. I wish the hot bar was a bit larger with more options. The meat counter seems to get very busy so you have to go at the right time, which I yet need to figure out when it is. The cashiers are fast so there is not much waiting time. Oh and they have an Amazon return center which is pretty convenient.

Lets start with the negative. Whole foods is very expensive. Moved from Los Angeles up here and its more expensive than LA. Everything else is positive. The variety is great. They have brands that is only at whole foods. The meat is good as well. The service is always great. Easy to find someone for help. The place is clean and comfortable including parking.

Whole Foods Market is a top-notch shopping experience. The variety of fresh, organic items, along with helpful staff and a commitment to sustainability, makes it a go-to for quality groceries. Im particularly happy with the self-checkout option that saved me a lot of time; previously, I used to spend a significant amount of time waiting in the queue.

Review №15

2023-11-10 19:25:28

I give Whole Foods Amazon on Newell Ave in Walnut Creek one star now for two reasons. First, have increased the number of self checkouts, decreased the number of checkers and eliminated the express checkouts. At the same time they have eliminated baggers. In some stores the checkers do not bag at all. All of this has increased the amount of time it takes shoppers to get out of the store. Have you ever watched how long it takes shoppers with carts filled with groceries to get through self check lines?Second, I cannot even shop at this story between 3:00- 4:00 because parents waiting to pick up high schoolers have taken over the whole lot! Shame on them. It’s a DANGEROUS situation.

Another Whole Foods. The selection isnt as good as before the pandemic. Prices are high as usual. I didnt find what I was looking for but got some turmeric.

A few scattered thoughts in case they help someone down the road.Pros:Their bakery bread actually tastes real, unlike Safeways bakery. Bread was 5x the quality.The store is on a bike trail, so we go by bike!Con:The prices!

Thats a great place for purchasing many, many things. Such as fresh food, fruits, lovely flowers, meats, fish, bread and Ect... But, I was looking for a bandage for my 5 years old son that he really needed for his finger, but I couldnt find it. I asked the person who works at Whole food, and he tried a little bit, and then he said, probably, we dont have it. I asked the cashier, and he said, “ I dont know. “Customer service was not very well.

What to say.. As being a customer of Whole Foods and a prime member.,I am disappointed that whenever I come to store my car is left scratched!! This month it’s a second and not small as you see. We asked before store, do you have a camera so I can see who did it. Unfortunately, they don’t. It’s very disappointing that company doesn’t take care of customers.

I’m sorry to say that this store has declined markedly over the past couple of years. At first I thought it was the pandemic that was causing so many bare shelves, but others stores have recovered while this one hasn’t.It’s convenient to my home, so I keep trying to shop here, but I’m having to acknowledge that all I can hope to buy are shelf stable products, and not many of those. Produce? Forget it. Things go bad within days of getting them home, and I’ve even found rotten, not old, rotten, items in the bins themselves.I just don’t understand. At first I thought it was the Amazon purchase that had driven quality down, but I think the Lafayette store tends to stay better stocked and the produce is fresher. Something very bad is happening at the Walnut Creek store specifically. I only wish I knew what’s behind my increasingly disappointing shopping experiences here. I used to depend on this place.

I received 5 star service here at Wholesfood in Walnut Creek at the Bakery Dept. First, I would love to send a big thank you to Norma and Gabriel at the bakery department, along with their team. They were such a life saver for me by accommodating me for a special day. Norma was very kind, understanding and heart warming. Gabriel was very caring and thoughtful. I can’t thank you all enough, the cake was delicious, fresh, and met all my expectations!

Hands down one of the worst Whole Foods ever. The cannot seem to open all doors- make customers use one door, although they have 3. The staff seem to all hate their jobs and checkers have terrible attitudes. There are a few nice once, but overall- not great. They are out of items regularly and I have bought several products at different times that have been molded by the time I get home open the packages as I unload. Doesn’t seem like they recognize FIFO. Today was an awesome exceptionally terrible experience, as they must have had a visit from the health inspector because they had every cold box closed off. I couldn’t even get a soda for my child. Seriously, I’d the cold water and soda going bad soon-that I cannot purchase it??

I went to the cash register and asked the girl in charge named Amanda to check the price for me! She refused, saying that it wasnt her job and that I had to look for the person responsible. She made an ugly face and denied it and I insisted because she wanted the product I went to the cash register and asked the girl in charge named ❌Amanda💡 to check the price for me! She refused, saying that it wasnt her job and that I had to look for the person responsible. She made an ugly face and denied it and I insisted because she wanted the product! Thats no way to work! She was next to the cashier, and doing nothing! How terrible her service is!

Great little Whole Foods! The bakery and staff are especially great. Ordered a cake last min (less than 24 hrs notice) and while it is not standard they happily accepted the order and made suggestions. Super nice staff and delicious cake (at a good price). Will definitely be ordering all family birthday cakes from here.

What is there to say. Whole Foods is top of the line for grocery stores. Produce and meats are always fresh.Store and restrooms are cleanGrocery Clerks are always politeThe only thing I do not like is High prices. You get good what you pay for.

How can anyone not love Whole Foods. Yes. The prices are a little higher than other grocery stores, but the quality of their products and customer service is higher than the rest. Their staff has always been friendly, helpful and more than willing to lend a hand with me, I’ve never received a rude comment on the phone or in person.The layout and atmosphere of their store is always light bright and airy. Clean, or in the midst of being cleaned. Constant wiping of counters, all with a friendly smile or even a nice salutation, sometimes even a quick chat.While I’m not able to be a frequent shopper, the times I have been able to buy a few things, has been pleasant. And I have been able to try new products that haven’t been found at any other grocer.The downtown location, is a bit more trickier in parking, the lot is a lot smaller as its shared parking with other retailers, but just follow the arrows and don’t go against the flow, and everything will be just fine. From what I recall, there’s one way in and out, so just be careful.

It’s a Whole Foods, used to be amazing and then Amazon bought them and things are not as good. What stands out at this location is their meat counter - it’s big for the size of the store and the butchers are friendly and helpful.

I love coming here, its super close to my home and very convenient for me, but unfortunately Ive been avoiding the deli. This is the third time that i have had an issue with one specific employee there. Hes talked very rudely to me everytime hes attended me. Today was the last straw I will be avoiding the Deli for good. To me this is a bummer because now i have to go elsewhere to buy meat, i really liked the fresh meat this whole foods had. Today i got to the deli, i needed ground beef. that rude employee was standing on the opposite side by the chicken products. from over there he said what do you want i had to shout at him, he still didnt move towards me. He just shouted. I said i needed 2 pounds of ground beef. He very rudely said dont point at the window because i cant see, speak with your mouth what do you want i repeated my order he then said what kind i have 3 kinds, youre supposed to know what kind you want what kind of employee treats their customers like this. If someone doesnt know how to order at least be nice about it and try and help/ understand them, not make them feel little.

The employees listened to me rant about all my ills, and just smiled and let me vent. The roasted chickens are great value and so tasty. They even have a box to dispose of syringes in the bathroom, lol; ok yeah, that was kinda creepy! But still, good looking out! Lol

Different concept store. Lots of premade stuff. Nice wine selection. Not as big a selection as some stores. Interesting layout.

Review №37

2022-07-28 02:06:24

This Whole Foods has hot meals like the others but not many food options perhaps because it’s a little smaller than the other locations. They do not have a cafe but have a coffee pot if you need to grab a cup. Even though the size is small you can still find some items. It might be best to call the store and check for an item before you head out.

Ive been going here for over ten years. The majority of the staff is really friendly and helpful. The store is a bit on the small side so the selection is less than in the bigger stores.

I usually come here to get lunch meat and ingredients for dishes to cook from scratch. Everything is fresh, clean, and for what its worth, high quality. The downside is that the store is always congested. The reason looks like there arent enough check out lanes available. Its pretty hard to navigate through store because you constantly have to cut through long lines and crowded isles.

Review №41

2023-03-26 19:47:42

This is the same quality Whole Foods as any other but let me note that the food we got wasn’t so unsalted it was tasteless - something of a Whole Foods standard 🤪 Excellent Açaí section at the end of a row.

I’ve been coming to this location for a while, but after today I’m done with this Whole Foods. This place is always packed and there’s never any baggers; this location is chronically understaffed. But my breaking point today was not only was there no baggers to help, but the checker was super rude and didn’t help me bag at all. I had $200 worth of groceries, so it took some time. She sat there and watched me and then for some reason rudely shoved my receipt in my face like I was taking too long. Just unacceptable on so many levels. Thankfully there’s plenty of competition now with descent grocers; going elsewhere now.

Prices are outragous, as to be expected with Whole Foods, but the reason I dont go to this particular store often is because the parking is an actual nightmare. Beautiful store. I come here for the fresh take and bake pizzas. They are really big and pretty cheap!

The best Wholefoods store ever. The food seems to be much better there than at Walnut Creek. Also there is more variety over there. Or so it seems.UPDATE March 16 2021Walnut Creek Ca Wholefoods hot bar deli section . The food is absolutely horrible.It seems the past year 2020 the food has become increasingly fly garbage. Bland and overcooked. Today I tried the turkey meatballs and also grilled vegetables to check if any improvements. NONE.I hope a manager reads this. Please reevaluate your cooks. Or chefs.You lost my business. I have been shopping WC Nob Hill and Safeway. All year 2020 and 2021.

This particular branch is not the best. While the staff, selections and offerings are good, theres a lot to be desired on the layout and parking. The store seem cramped and disorganized while the parking lot is limited and not well-planned and laid out.

Clean store and good food ready to go! I stopped in for dinner and found fresh, hot, piping food at their steam table. Salad bar is always stocked with super fresh greens and the like. Priced reasonably at $8.99 per pound. This is a place you cant go wrong.

Was great to see all my ex co-workers staying busy and even though they have masks on I know they are smiling. Love the markers on the floor to keep everyone shopping there safe and aware. Every department there in whole foods was very funny, friendly and helpful. Thanks again I love coming to whole foods they got what I need.

I went to this Whole Foods weekly since it opened, so for nearly two decades. Its sad how far it has fallen, and a few weeks ago I threw in the towel and started going to Lunardis. The reasons:There are never any baggers, so you either have to bag your own groceries, or wait forever, and the cashiers clearly want you to do that former. I cant really blame them as the lines are always stretching out into the aisles. They clearly have troubles retaining good people as despite going weekly, I feel like I was seeing new faces at the register constantly.The aisles are always a maze as they seem to be constantly stocking, and theres always carts pilled with boxes, empty or full, clogging the aisles. Despite constantly having to reach around employees or carts to find what you want, the shelves often have empty gaps. Its clear they cant keep things in stock. Nearly ever shopping trip involved 2-3 things they just didnt have.Selection has gone down. There are just too many things we used to buy every week that they just dont sell. The products are still made. I can find them at other stores. Whole Foods just doesnt stock them. This is especially true for things like meatless frozen food, or similar things, which is ironic, as thats why we started going in the first place.Produce has also gotten really bad. Ive had too many instances of strawberries going moldy after a day, or avocados half brown on the inside. My eyes were opened when we went to an Albertsons in Medford, Oregon and discovered the produced to be objectively better!We started going, years ago, because despite the price, it was the best place in town. That has changed. Its still pricy, but it is far from best, or even mediocre.

On Nov. 24, I ordered Salmon En Croute & Chicken Cordon Bleu bites. They only look good in photos/ads! No taste they we’re bland! They we’re not worth it! That was 1st time I ordered. Not again! We didn’t finished! No 5 stars! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Four stars instead of five because Amazon bought them. My least favorite things about Whole Foods showed up after that purchase. The staff gets five stars, as they are kind, friendly, helpful, and they are a pleasure to deal with. They also agree with my Amazon assessment, but dont tell Amazon!!

Review №56

2022-09-20 20:38:10

The high prices would be okay if they didnt also systematically overcharge you at the checkout. They upcharge you for organic produce and dont give you the Amazon discount if you dont watch out.Its just not acceptable. You have to pay for bananas that put kids in South America through school and so on, when you just came to buy bananas. Okay, no problem -- we want bananas but well take bananas plus school fees, but whats with screwing everyone at the cash register too?I think Ill go to Sprouts next time. I dont like getting cheated.

Review №57

2020-01-25 19:40:43

I love this Whole Foods. It’s laid out logically so it’s easy to find everything you’d want to buy. The staff is so so friendly and helpful and the produce is always fresh. They keep the buffet area clean and the dine in pizzeria is a nice touch.

2017-05-19 20:11:33

If youre a hipster or foodie that loves words like vegan, organic, gluten free and whole grain, all natural everything free and such, this is the place for you. Expect to pay two to three times as much for anything here as you would in a regular grocery store. Café and soups are good, nice beer and wine selection, and fruits and fresh produce are outstanding, if you can afford it. Store is always clean, staff is always friendly. For the prices you pay here, they know they better be.

Terrible customer service from the customer service manager Mayra as well as the store manager Aly. I had an issue with a gift card and i was told I had to come back to the store to rectify but when I came to the store, they didnt help me. Before I could even finish my sentence Mayra replied with “I know who you are there’s nothing we can do for you.” Walks away and doesn’t come back. Aly comes and says the same thing.I understand if you weren’t able to help but at least try. Showing a customer that you posted their credit card information for anyone to have access to is so unprofessional

One of their better locations. . They have an older brick oven so the pizza is much better than at newer stores. Checkout people are friendly and efficient. If its crazy you can park in the giant mall garage across the street. 3 hrs free parking.

If you like to eat healthy, whole foods will be a good place to shop. It can be a little pricey, but when it comes to your health, pricey can be worth it. Their lunch counter buffet is varied and excellent, I end up eating a huge lunch when I dine at WF and recommend it as a solid choice for a quick yet filling lunch option

Review №62

2021-08-20 23:39:19

We shop here often, as it’s the closest to our home- just wish they’d get decent sour beers. Kettle sours are not the same- and why would you carry so many IPAs, and then add sour IPA? It’s too much. Please get a decent mix of BA sour beers. Thanks.

Review №63

2019-07-29 15:08:55

Excellent selection of organic produce, grains, eggs, meat, and dairy products. They sell organic chicken livers at the meat counter for $4 a pound; but you have to make a special point of asking for them, since they don’t advertise them anywhere — and they’re not always in stock.I used to buy excellent organic apples of different varieties at the produce section. But it seems that, since Amazon took over Whole Foods, they’ve lowered both the price and quality of their organic apples. Now they seem to sell huge batches of organic apples shipped from Chile, which often strike me as neither fresh nor tasty.

Review №64

2020-05-24 02:33:02

The selections and the store itself inside is great like most while foods but it kinda ends there. Why do while foods find themselves in the worst parking lots known to mankind. This one is exceptionally poor. Very good staff who try and go out of their way but be prepared to shout horrible expletives when you attempt to drive around there. Enjoy!!

Love to eat! We walked here for breakfast all the time. I enjoyed the walk but most of all I enjoyed the time with my daughters. This Whole Foods is small and difficult to get in and out of. I like the other Whole Foods more as far as access.

Weve been shopping here since the day they bought out Good Nature Grocery, in fact I handled the ribbon cutting ceremony as an Ambassador for the Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce. Thank God Amazon bought them because their prices were outrageous and now theyre 20% less, sometimes the savings is greater. Good selection, good prices, the best produce, great prepared food section, terrific bakery, wonderful grass fed grass finished meats. We refill our water containers here weekly with distilled water.

Although walnut Creek is over crowded and highly conjested, I do like this store. You can get just about everything you want here. Great desserts, fresh made pizza, burritos, sandwiches are.just a few things I love. BEER! Awesome selection of beers and wines.

The tres leches cake is my favorite. Delicious prepared food here. I love the Hawaiian wings and the Mac and cheese. Great selection of unique products! This is the original Walnut Creek shop...where it all started for me.

I love shopping here. Even though the location on Ygnacio Valley is more convenient for me, this store has a slightly different selection of product and I tend to find what I need or want every time. The butcher crew is very friendly and we really enjoy getting salads at the salad bar along with a slice of fresh baked pizza or a sandwich. The parking lot here will forever be a challenge, but its not a deterrent to shopping at this store.

One of my go to’s for a quick lunch during the week. They have a burrito bar, pretty decent hot food bar/salad bar, and wood fired pizza. The parking here can be a bit of a nightmare, especially during lunchtime. They have outside seating for you to enjoy your lunch.

Theyre charging you for bringing your own bags now. Debra told me off and said I didnt know what I was talking about. Then customer service took her side saying I should relax. Tell me why I should relax when I just got told off for being charged for bringing my own bags. I explained to her credit the bags I bring and then donate the money. So here at the Walnut Creek Whole Foods check your receipts because you may be paying for the bags you bring in instead of donating the bag credits you shouldve recieved.Screw this store for giving me attitude for being a patron and knowing how the system works. I love between this and another health food store and everyone is friendly there.3-11-175:02 pm

On the smaller side, but with good variety. Centrally located close to shopping and restaurants. I’ve never had issues parking which is surprising considering the lot is not big. The pizza station is awesome. Lacking a bar area.

In fairness I must give 3 stars because the food is exactly what I want from Whole Foods.The reason I am only giving three stars is that EVERY time (I mean 6 times out of the last 6 times I have shopped there, I have been overcharged at the checkout. I have started to photograph prices of goods as I shop, in order to clarify with the checkout person as Im being rung up. Small amounts add up. Today there were 3 mistakes on my bill. The ground beef I bought had a sign on it that said $4.99 a lb. I was charged $5.49. The pears I bought were on sale for $1.79 for Prime members, I missed the mistake at the checkout and was charged $2.50 a lb. (I only noticed that on my receipt and had bought 2 lbs). The onions I bought were clearly and incorrectly priced at 79c a lb and were actually $1.18 a lb. On a shop a few months ago, I was massively overcharged when I happened to need a large quantity of onions. I bought about 5 lbs of conventionally grown onions and was charged $12.00 and change instead of less than $6. I noticed after checkout and was given the onions gratis by customer service. I do not mind the prices at Whole Foods but I do reserve the right when I shop to choose carefully what I purchase -and my decisions are sometimes based on price. Very frustrated. BTW this is not a new problem post-Amazon purchase of WF. This used to happen before, but less frequently. Please get it right Whole Foods.I can only assume this is happening to many many customers on a daily basis - who like myself until recently, do not take the trouble to scrutinize their bills.

Always find parking. Prices have gone up since Amazon came into the picture. Choices are less in organic foods as well. Some items are carried at the regular Whole Foods Market and some items are at 365 Whole Foods in Concord. I was much happier with Whole Foods Market before Amazon came in.

This is one of the best Whole Foods in the area. Good selection, good prepared and hot foods. They say its unwise to shop hungry, so I eat lunch here and then I go shopping. Getting a hot meal here or something at the salad bar is quite affordable.This is also definitely the place to come for all your nut milks, gluten free clothing (just joking about the clothing - the label is applied to everything these days! - I have Celiacs) vegan cheese and vegetarian frozen meals. Plus much much more.If you like healthy eating and you can afford it then this Whole Foods is for you.

We came to this location specifically because we called and asked if they had a certain product. Once we got there of course they don’t actually sell it so it was a waste of time. Other than that I generally do love Whole Foods even though obviously have many things that are overpriced for the sake of being overpriced.

Limited stock. It is tricky to get to this complex because, it is accessible by a small side road. Always crowded and lots of traffic. Very hard to find parking alot of the times. Small and narrow. It would be hard to get a big SUV in there and to get out easily. This complex was not planned well at all. In an emergency, you wouldnt be able to drive out of there since there is that one small exit.

For some reason, Whole Foods in Northern California tend to be smaller. This location has a tight entrance/exit: only one way in and out. Located right next to a high school, it suffers from congestion in traffic too. No room to spread out here, so you wont find the wine bar or a roomy eating area. Even with all the publicity regarding lower prices under Amazon, prices seem quite high.

The 4-5 workers who straightened out the frozen aisle close to the end of the day ignored me as I tried to walk down the frozen aisle. I could not pass these workers - they would not let me pass, they were oblivious to me . With all the frozen doors open & workers standing out in the aisle, I had to go down another aisle & come in at the other end. This happened around 8:30 pm. Lynn

Was told to expect an interview call on Tuesday Oct 3rd 2017. No call came and my day was wasted. I dont drive, so i stayed home to be available. I could have spent my day with my family who all live in Alameda County.So far not impressed with their communication skills.

My parents ordered four dessert platters a month ago to pick up 12/22. Upon arrival, they learned that AFTER making their online purchase, what constitutes a dessert platter has changed. Instead of being a party platter of desserts it changed to just TWO! The employee instead of making it right and honoring what my parents had paid for, printed off the NEW description and showed it to them. My parents just accepted this and walked out. As someone in a retail management team, this customer service is terrible and the refusal to make things right and honor the agreement upon purchase is probably not even legal. Extremely dissatisfied.

I wanted to buy fresh squeezed orange juice. A woman was drinking out of the plastic bottle she had filled with juice. After mouthing the bottle, she stuck it under the spigot to tefill it. Yuck!!!I told her she was disgusting and now I couldnt buy juice. That had no effect on her. She just continued on contaminating the orange juice with her dirty mouth.I asked the information desk to arrange to clean the machine. Yuck. I will never buy fresh squeezed OJ from Whole Foods again.Its just an unsanitary place in Walnut Creek, CA. Yuck.

OK, not happy they are the only large chain Ive come across THAT DOES NOT ACCEPT CHECKS for payment (period, for any amount!). Im no luddite, but this is not providing customer service. Instead of providing convenience and payment options for their customers, they instead chose to make things convenient for themselves at the expense of customers. Well, I will curtail my Whole Foods shopping in response. SU WF!

I have been shopping here for years and generally dont have a problem with it (other than overcharging). That said, I have told the employees and a supervisor about their deceptive sales of the California coleslaw in the deli section. It is $4.99 a pound at the counter, but in the pre-packaged shelf area, they sell 8 ounce containers as 2 for $7. That makes it +$2.01 a pound! Often they are out of it at the counter and refer customers to the pre-packaged slaw. They always express surprise that it is different, but do nothing to correct it. Only Whole Foods in the area that does this as far as I know, so I can only blame the management.Now when they are out at the counter, I bring the pre-packaged containers to the counter and make them repackage and weigh it.Double check the pricing of anything you buy here. Also, many of the packaged brand items like the TV dinners and ice cream are cheaper and available at Safeway.

Shoppers heaven for all gourmet food needs. Bit pricy, but worth the value.
