Whole Foods Market

I go here because it is close and convenient, but this whole foods really lacks compared to others in the area, especially for vegan options. The hot bar is always filled with the same meat options everyday, and there has even been meat accidentally mixed in with the crispy potatoes. Wholefoods Venice is spectacular and has its very own vegan hot bar, and vegan pastry case which eliminates the chance of getting a piece of fried chicken in your mouth against your will. I am writing this review with the intention of the management expanding their vegan options, especially in the hot bar. Aside from the noticeable lack of vegan choices, the employees are friendly, and I appreciate the occasional live jazz music. I will change my review to 5 stars when the hot bar is up to par with other wholefoods in the area.
