I FINALLY got to the new Whole Foods in WO.

I knew it was going to be a great place from all the comments here ----- but I really wasn't prepared on HOW good! Was I ever impressed! With all the things they have packed into the store, I was amazed at how spacious it is. I've been back a secone time, but both visits were rushed as it was last minute food for Christmas, but I fully intend to bo back soon and just browse, to take it all in. (And to buy, too!)

Finally got to this place this afternoon, I suppose giving another little kick to my expiring ShopRite in the process. What I expected. Huge & overwhelming. Produce pretty consistently triple the price of that at the Rt. 17 Farmers Market. Good prices on mineral water & bulk cereals as usual. Selection of prepared foods to rival that at their Union Square outpost.

Highlight of the experience had to be getting deliberately shouldered by a young man in thug's clothing in an apparent game of sidewalk chicken as I approached the store's entrance. Not gonna be good for business if that keeps up.

I seem to be going back mostly for the Cantina's made-to-order soft tacos (3 for $6.99), and the soup/salad/entree bar. The fresh pizzas look good, though haven't tasted any yet.

I had a piece of the whole wheat pizza a week or so ago, and while it was tasty, I actually thought the dough was too thick for what it was. It LOOKS delicious, but after the second bite, I felt like they're just selling heavy brick oven pizzas to make $$...not great pizza. And for $3.85 for what's essentially a slice, well, now I've tried it.

Just got the following email from the West Orange WF, so I thought I'd share:

Edited to fix spacing issue.
