Whole Foods Market Roseville

So I shop at the Whole Foods in Roseville about every other week. I never really had a bad experience, except for today. My little girl wanted pizza, so I grabbed a gluten free pizza from the refrigerator section for her lunch. I went to where they bake the pizzas and asked if they could bake it for her (they’ve done this for us before). The lady there said they don’t do that, which of course I mentioned that it was done for us before. She mentioned it was not a GF oven which was ok with me since my daughter is not celiac. She went and spoke to her manager and came back saying it was a $ 2 charge. I’m a believer of running your business how you like, but in my book this is bad customer service. A good business cares about their customers, not just their money. So today will be the last time I shop at Whole Foods. I’m sticking to Farm Fresh to You, Sprouts, and Thrive Market.

I live in Roseville and shop here often and when traveling for business try to find a store close to me. I happened to come in Monday this week and noticed no clover 2% organic milk in quart size. Came back today, again no milk. This irritated me since there were large selections of the diary cooler empty. I spoke to an associate, Kalize, she was helpful and friendly and applied for the inconvenience. While it is only milk, time is valuable when trying to shop around a busy work schedule. Kalize, offered excellent customer service and reminded me on why I shop here! Great job

The person that manages this awful store needs to be fired. I have shopped here since it opened. I will no longer shop here. I see the decline in service and quality every time I walk in.
A small list of problems:
1. Order enough produce so you stop running out every day. If the Safeway down the street can manage to have organic bananas every day so can you.
2. Stop rearranging the entire store every few months. The regulars don’t have time to play «where is the merchandise today».
3. When food expires, throw it out.
4. Stop overcharging and double charging. The whole foods already paid a large fine for this practice.
6. Start selling quality fruit. If I want a good strawberry or raspberry I have to go to Costco. A store that sells car tires should not have better produce than a gourmet Grocer.
7. Bake your sperlonga bread all the way. No one wants to eat raw dough. If they do then they can …
8. Put some decent food in the hot bar. When it’s dry and old, throw it out. You have great people working there who are great cooks. Let them make some good food out of good ingredients.
9. Why do you have those two dodo birds working the tap room. The guys you had there before did a great job and they even managed to pick up the phone and take an order while they were cooking. Go back to serving different kind of sliders like you used to. Again you are thinking short term. You save a little on food but you lose a lot in sales.
10, 11, 12, so many more problems to list.
The incompetence of this management team is epic. But as long as the store is making money there is no reason to change. Stop thinking short term.
The staff that works at this store is great. They are very knowledgable and very helpful.

I went to this store for lunch and out of the two hot food kiosks there was ONE dish that had real meat in it. ONE. The vast majority of their food is made with some bullshit meat substitute. If you’re vegan, this is probably a good place for you but how about some food for those of us who don’t hate ourselves?
MAKE SOME REAL FOOD PLEASE. Nugget says thank you for the business, thats where I actually ended up eating and they had awesome food with real meat, I’d highly recommend driving the extra mile to eat at Nugget.

I spend a few hundred dollars here each week. It actually kind of kills me financially to shop here but it’s like crack, I just can’t stay away. As a full-​time student and mom I rely on their buffet section a few times a week to feed my family dinner. It’s absolutely expensive to do so but I feel better hitting the buffet and paying more than driving through a shitty establishment with low quality ingredients.
Also, their staff in the supplements section is on point. Always helpful and full of knowledge.
One kinda gross thing is three out of maybe the last eight times we’ve eaten prepared foods here they have had hairs in them. And another time at the deli/​prepared foods section an employee was getting my orzo salad and used a pen to shift the tray closer to her but it slipped and the pen drug all the way through the food, this really grossed me out. She didn’t seem to think anything of it though. Even with all that said I will continue to dump my money here each week because I’m addicted to WF.
I REALLLLLLY wish there was some sort of rewards program here like Raley’s «Something Extra», because I spend probably $ 900 a month here, give or take a hundred depending on the month and that still doesn’t cover all my groceries.
Another thing, I never see GreenPeace here anymore. Not sure why but I’m happy. I mean, GP is great but it’s crazy annoying to be hit up every time you shop and I come here about three times a week. For the record, I’m a GreenPeace donator but they still bug me.

Totally burnt food and it made me sick all night!

store is nice but Jorge in seafood department was very rude when I was asking about the product. I couldn’t bring myself to purchase what I came for. I’m not sure why he chose to disrespect customers but if this is the way he is he should think of another profession that’s not dealing with customers.

You may want to think twice about ordering a cake (or eating from there buffet).
We found a small hair in our cake. F!#kin gross.
Listen. I don’t mind paying a premium for better. But really, pubic hair in the cake.
What is better (?) When it was brought to their attention: They offered a refund. Nice enough. Refund turned into store giftcard. Nothing on the giftcard. Piss off. Keep your overpriced cake and the hair it came with… and your empty giftcard.

I usually go to the Folsom location but today I was in the roseville area. The sandwich, «build you own» from the deli, was an absolute joke! It was the smallest sandwich I’ve ever ordered… for $ 9.00. I did other shopping after I ordered it, so I wasn’t at the counter as they made it. When I got home and opened it, I was not impressed at all! Go to Nugget and get a custom sandwich for only $ 6.99…HUGE, fresh ingredients with actual meat !

The breakfast buffet was not good. The scrambled eggs had a scorched taste. Eggs are supposed to be the easiest things to make. The sausage and bacon were cold and dry. I should have gotten a refund, but I didn’t have time.
I am also frustrated that they have so many spicy middle eastern foods that are very high in flavors of spicy curry and other spices I can not identify. They are to spicy for me to even eat. The curry makes the whole store smell. You can smell the musty curry when you walk into the store. I wish they had garlic herb chicken or something like that instead of overly spicy foreign food.

This is one of my favorite wholes foods, there is one that is a lot closer to my house off of Arden and Eastern. The whole wheat pizza and omelette station when it’s in the morning is nice touch. Would’ve been a five star review, except the one time my chicken was completely red and undercooked. Throughly enjoy their samples that are given, this place is giving other grocery chains a run for their money.

I love this store! I live in Sacramento – closer to the Whole Foods in then Arden Arcade area – and I still drive out to this one!
Free wi-​fi and fantastic, affordable food. Pizzas and omellettes are delicious.
Staff is usually awesome… one or two are a hit or miss at times. But overall, ambience is great and friendly.
Tried to look for a pain reliever/​medicine once… and they didnt seem to have any. Oh well!
Will probably be back soon.

If you don’t mind spending a little money on quality ingredients and food, then come here. The staff is above and beyond with their customer service skills. Every time I come here I fall more in love with all the healthy food options. Also if you’re looking for a good spot for lunch they have an awesome grill with burgers to eat!

I love shopping here. Its big and has a great variety. But I have to say Trader Joes outdoes them when it comes to employees. Trader Joe’s is a lot friendlier and are constantly walking around talking to people and asking them if they need help. I have gone to Whole Foods a number of times and have never received that type of customer service.

Four stars for a very expansive selection for a Whole Foods. There is a huge selection of all sorts of items, from bulk items, to clothing, to drinks, baked goods, etc. Their baked goods are almost always great at any location and their store brand is fairly priced and high quality. Yes, much of what they sell is over-​priced stuff. If that’s what you’re into, fantastic, have fun. This is the place to go. Their prepared foods (such as their pizza) is always great, so Whole Foods is always worth the trip. Not for everyday food or my weekly grocery shopping but a nice treat.
Thanks!

Good for many things watch though for mismarked items
Example. 10−23−15 Carr’s water crackers listed at $ 7.00 — WF Sacramento $ 3.99– so just because item
Staff seems confused when you bring to their attention.
I like the salad bar and trail mix particularly-​no store surpasses theirs in this regard.

The grocery store was nice and organized. I asked for some help to look for some sunblock and the staff was very friendly. I was only able to fine one of the two items I was looking for but that was ok.
The checkout process was smooth but their machines didn’t take the chip credit cards yet. The cashier said they would upgrade their system soon even though they had the new readers.

Whole Foods Roseville is probably the biggest and fanciest Whole Foods in the Sacramento region. It is located in the Fountains near the Roseville Galleria and has all the same selection of the other Whole Foods, but the Roseville location has a larger prepared foods section. It may also be the closest WF to Lake Tahoe, so people heading up the hill may find stopping here a good idea.
I usually stop at this WF if I am spending the day in Placer County since it is more convenient to the freeways. The layout is different than the Arden location, but it is similar to other modern WF. I would probably shop here more often if it was closer to my house, but it is usually too far away. That is why it is so nice to have WF in Roseville, Folsom, and Davis — I can stop at any one of them heading back to Sacramento.

This is a fairly decent Whole Foods. The staff were very helpful with answers to my questions about some food on the hot bar as well as at the café. They don’t make fresh pressed juice, only juice from the produce department that is chilled. The café does offer smoothies, I think I had the green breeze … It was not bad.
The store was clean and well stocked. We ordered a pizza and it was truly yum! One of the best Whole Foods pizzas I’ve had so far. Trust me when I say there is an art to making the perfect Whole Foods pizza.
The hot bar was ok… Ive seen better but it was acceptable. Also, we found some cream biscuits and blueberry scones in the bakery that I loved!
I would go back just for the biscuits, scones, pizza and kind hospitality :)

Vegan heaven!
Looking for vegan mac and cheese? vegan pepperoni pizza? vegan chicken strips? vegan mince beef? vegan coconut shrimp? vegan lamb vindaloo?! Than come over to this Whole Foods! They probably got what you vegans (or aspiring vegans, lactose intolerant, or you folks who just want to eat healthy) looking for!
I have search high and low around Sacramento for some of the products they carry and I could not be happier that they stock a wide variety of health foods :)
The best bit about this location is that they even have their own bar with some interesting beers on tap. I can’t wait to return for a drink (or two) and try their delicious (vegan) hot foods~
