Seeing the world In a different way

Whole Foods grocery store provides lots of selection of organic and fresh produce at a slightly higher price. But with that price I believe there is better quality. There is a wide selection of "ready to eat meals" and food bars to make convenient quick food selections. They also promote local farmers stock on their shelves, which I like.
I found the store layout confusing. For example, there are several different brands and sizes of bottled drinking water scattered throughout the store and isles. There are also other similar in store products also equally dispersed, such as; ready to serve meals and fresh fruit/ natural juice drinks. This added time for me to search for what I wanted and made it more difficult to comparison shop to determine which one I wanted to purchase. However, it didn't stop me from shopping, but because I was mindful of the time limits in free paid parking it did impact how much I purchased.
At this location there is 1.5 hours of free redeemable underground parking under the stadium. Just present the parking ticket at checkout and the free time will be added to the parking ticket. Then when leaving the elevator in the parking lot area there is a parking kiosk to validate the parking. Insert your card at the kiosk and then again at the exit gate, then you are good to go. This system was simple and does work well.
If you like my reviews, photos or videos give them a whole thumbs up
I love coming here to find new drinks and snacks that you can't find elsewhere in Ottawa, or that you can but not in as vast of the selection that Whole Foods offers. The store is generally well-kept and organized. I so appreciate that they have a washroom available to customers, even if they haven't bought anything. I usually come here for the hotbar foods, but ever since the pandemic they've packaged the food into individual portions so that it's more sanitary, which is appreciated. Of course, my only feedback is the pricing can be steep, especially for the food that is priced by weight, but I can appreciate it for the freshness and local ingredients that come with it.
I really enjoy Whole Foods due to its wide selection of organic foods and products to meet specific dietary requirements. This Whole Foods is always clean and the staff is always very nice and helpful. Underground parking with validation is a nice perk, especially in the winter. The only downside to this store is that it doesn’t have the same breadth of products as other Whole Foods, and it rarely has the more healthy pre-made chicken/veggie meals available at other whole foods, but rather ones made with gluten.
Honestly I don't know why I've never been here before. Went in last night to check it out. Wow! The have all the things I've been looking for that I couldn't find at other stores. And the produce is unreal. Prices aren't too bad either, but get some stuff on sale if you can. Will definitely be going back!!
It can be a bit expensive, but every product is pretty much top-of-the-line as far as quality goes. Just keep an eye out for sales.
The atmosphere is inviting, the store is very clean, and the staff are friendly.
There's so many options and different brands to explore!
A bit pricier than some other groceries, still has all the essentials and caters to the more organic and alternative choices people may have. On the second floor through an escalator or elevator, the bottom has their own café area you can also sit in.
i love whole foods so much. i’m so angry we don’t have one in halifax, but every time i’m in ottawa i make sure to visit. as a vegetarian, it is so great to have a grocery store with so many options! i am also so happy they have their dine in back! i love love love their buffet style meals.
Great food, but you will certainly pay the price.
Also has unique selection which you can find anywhere else.
Owned by Amazon and ultimately is a pawn in Jeff Bezos' plan for world Domination, so only go if you really need to 😉
Great prepared food, hot and salad bar when it's not covid.
