    It’s really hard to make a bad choice. Something I love is to be able to grab a wine from the shelves and get a food from any of their food aisle and to seat at a table and enjoy your time.

    This Whole Foods is HUGE!!! There are little restaurants and even a wine bar here! Food price is reasonable and you can find almost everything you need! Check it out even if you're not buying anything

    The bar at whole foods "Bar Lamar" is great & so affordable. Buy a bottle of wine or bubbles for grocery store prices, whatever food from anywhere in the store & eat at the bar. My prosecco is $10

    Anyone who visits Austin should see the Whole Foods flagship store. After all, it started here. All kinds of food, beer, natural beauty and health goods and tiny restaurants dot the headquarters.

    Coolest Whole Foods I've ever been to that includes a beer & wine bar with great staff in the back. Several drafts on tap. Someone mentioned you can sip a beer in a cup while you shop in the store

    This flagstore contains a seafood bar, a wine bar, a coffee bar, a chocolate bar, and a special cold room for beer etc. I am sitting at the seafood bar watching the chef cooking my monkfish!

    I can only compare to a couple other Whole Foods, but this one is incredible. The in-house restaurant is icing on the cake.

    Go to the tiny wine bar that they have in the back and enjoy your time by talking to other people while having a sip on your wine. It is a place to visit once in a while.

    Grab a super fresh lunch at the 5th Street Seafood grill near the wine area...oh, and stop to taste some wine (on the house) while you are at it!

    The associates at the health section of the store are awesome. They are very helpful and attentive. If they don't have what you are looking for, they will recommend something that just might be better

    Since it's the HQ, you can find almost anything here as well as lots of hot bar options unlike any other WF (taco bar, juice bar, 3 rows of hot food, etc).

    Belly up to 5th Street Seafood bar and dine on the Catch of the Day. Tilapia taco salad and salmon were both amazing.

    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!!

    Everything I've tried here is good, except the sushi. Doesn't taste very fresh and has made myself and others sick. Go get one of their amazing tacos instead!

    2 soft tacos with an assortment of tops for $6 is an amazing deal. Also, come visit the friendly staff at the Bowie BBQ in the back. Nice bar area with one flatscreen and some yummy BBQ. :-)

    Hit the “Mini Me” cheeses (all $3 or under) to make up a cheap, exciting cheese plate. We take ours on the plane ride home to SF!

    Grab a half sandwich and soup for $5.50. Be sure to get a soup cup from the sandwich bar and have them price it or it's $3.99 for the soup alone!

    What does Whole Foods and www.getaround.com have in common? Both believe in sustainability and giving back to the communities in which they serve. Oh yes, and try the Williamsburg turkey soup!

    In produce department you can buy reusable mesh bags for your fruit and veg. Handy for shopping trips and reduces plastic waste. Plus you can wash your produce in them. What's more to love?

    You could probably come here everyday for a year and never eat the same thing. The salad bar, breakfast tacos, trail mix bar and "take what you need" spice rack are our favorites.

    This grocery store is an experience all its own. Try a smoothie, sandwich, pizza, salad bar...and basically anything else you could be craving! Lots of options for special dietary needs too!

    The best view in town is on the back part of the roof, just past the playground. We encourage you to grab some food downstairs and catch a sunset over the city. Read more

    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

    The flagship store of this grocer has a convenient repair station should you experience a flat or other minor mishap on your bike. Grab a bite to eat or a drink once you’ve fixed your ride.

    The mothership. Any visit to Austin is not complete without a stop here. The juice/smoothie/gelato bar alone= unbelievable. Lots of covered parking. Austin: this is your Piazza Navona.

    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.

    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.
