We went to Whole Foods upon arriving in Boston to walk the Freedom Trail. Whole Foods saved me from starving that night. Their food bars are clearly labeled with ingredients so I was able to fill my plate up by picking & choosing. I did not choose foods that were next to another food with gluten. Everything was tasty too :)

I am reviewing the food court. It's not celiac friendly. If you can tolerate cross contamination, it's ok. They do have everything labelled. However, I didn't trust the labels after I saw poached eggs on English muffins and yet wheat was not listed as an allergen. The staff makes it clear that if you are celiac they do not recommend you eat there. They were not at all accommodating.
They have a cafe area with labels for the food. It’s a self serve kind of thing so not the best for cross contamination. Only a few options were gluten free but enough to make a meal out of it. If going to get a meal with a group, this is still a good option since the store is large and has the typical Whole Foods variety. I mostly thought it would be helpful to add a review so this location shows up for others looking for food around here.

As a European resident visiting this store is amazing! So many gf options! Not only all the fresh items and produce, but dried goods, packages, quick/ready meals. Wonderful! Everything is stacked on the shelves with the rest of those items (no separate gf section) which I like too. I can shop for the whole family at the same time, not everyone else… and then me.

I hate coming here because it’s so big. You would think they would have gobs of gf stuff, but they have little and it is spread out everywhere and side by side with gluten counterparts. Please keep my gf stuff AWAY from the gluten stuff. I spend way too much time trying to find everything, and I feel like compared to Sprouts or Natural Grocers that they have the least knowledge employees and the HIGHEST prices. I also would never eat something from their lunch area because it’s a mess. No way I'm chancing that.

Don’t go out of your way thinking they will have GF food. It’s slim pickings. Among the fewest grocery options I’ve seen in a Whole Foods.
