They have a good cracker and frozen foods selection especially for high-quality pasta and breaded items. I’m not impressed with its hot bar items. They have palatable frozen pastries and breads but they are a bit expensive and sometimes lack visual appeal because they are broken or have icicles. Once I bought a box of cookies and went to the car for a carb fest. I opened the box and every cookie was broken. I literally had nothing but crumbs and chocolate chips. I declined repurchase. This wasn’t an isolated incident. Whole Foods should be more careful with the shipping and handling of its gluten-free foods due to their composition and fragility.

Unfortunately, Whole foods could do a little better with eliminating unnecessary wheat/gluten products from some ready-made meals; for example, wheat berries or croutons in salads; use tamari instead of soy sauce in marinades.

So disappointing. This store is woefully ignorant to what gluten free means as well as Celiac disease. I am surprised as they seem more interested in offering Vegan offerings in their prepared food deli, something that is NOT a medical condition.

Expensive, terrible customer service. Great selection, but not worth the hassle.

No GF beer except for Red Bridge when I went yesterday. Red Bridge is not so good and is at Ralphs as well. They do have many GF products scattered throughout store. Very small for a Whole Foods.

The coffee shop in here was able to make me a gf iced vanilla oatmilk latte. They verified the vanilla syrup said gluten free and they use oatly oatmilk. Since I got iced, everything was made in my cup so to not be contaminated with anything. Wonderful treat for me! Also the store has many gluten free products and selection.

Good hot food and nice salad bar. They don’t mark ingredients and highlight allergens. We eat here all the time.

Lots of great GF and even DF options. GF desserts, crackers, and bagels are a godsend. While not advertised as GF, their sushi if you get it without tempura and don’t use the soy sauce, is most likely GF. I’ve had it multiple times without issue, just used my own tamari at home. I don’t eat the wasabi or ginger- in theory they should be fine but just saying because some cheaper wasabi can be made with wheat starch instead of corn starch. I always read the ingredients and recommend any other fellow celiac do the same.
