Whole Foods Market - San Mateo

The Whole Foods parking lot is a bustling spot with various shops and clinics, so be prepared for a busy atmosphere. Once inside, there is a wide selection of vegan options to choose from. I highly recommend stopping by if you are traveling along the 101, as the facilities are clean and the variety of vegan goodies is impressive. After a hike today, I was delighted to find vegan cotton candy in reusable containers along with an ice cream sandwich. I can't wait to try them! In addition, there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available for those who can't wait to enjoy their treats. Keep in mind that prices can be on the higher side, especially for specialty items.

I love the variety of vegan products offered at this restaurant, from donuts and ravioli to vegan cheese, frozen foods, bulk bin items, marshmallows, and more. While it's not my go-to grocery store, it's a great spot to find specialty vegan items like Parmesan cheese or coconut cool whip that I can't find anywhere else.

FOR EATING They offer a great variety of vegan donuts at good prices (1.5$ per piece). Don't miss the chocolate donutes, madness! They offer vegan burritos and sandwiches/wrapes, for moderate but affordable price. The burritos are ok and fresh, but the sandwich and wrap I tried once were bland and the tofu was old.. For the warm buffet unfortunately they have few vegan options. Cold buffet has a lot of vegan options but it's very expensive. Always have a vegan soup and a vegetarian option. GROCERIES Lots of produce, vegan products, vegan cosmetics and detergents, also some stuff you can't get anywhere else in the area (eg: nutritional yeast). This is where I buy most of the time the vegan household products and cosmetics, when I don't get them at Trader Joe's. Some specialty products are expensive, and also the fruits and veggies are more expensive than for example at Trader Joe's. Products of their own brand 365 are very good priced and good quality. Also bulk products are fairly priced, but check before buying, as some of them sit around a lot.. while others are fresh and replaced daily (you can ask to taste).

There are some vegan options available at the hot foods bar, including channa masala and deli dishes. While tasty, some customers may find them a bit too spicy. It's worth noting that the vegan options are not clearly labeled as such, so you will need to carefully read the ingredients list. The only vegan salad dressing offered was a balsamic vinaigrette, which unfortunately contained sugar. Customers may also find vegetable burritos in the store, but due to long lines, it can be difficult to confirm if they are vegan. Unlike the Palo Alto location, there is no vegan chocolate pudding available in the prepared foods section at this store.

It will definitely “real” in this whole food parking! there are various shops and clinics so it is busy bringing them their geduld! once in, so much to choose! recommend this place as a box stop along the 101, clean facilities and great selection of vegan tasty. today post-Hike I wanted an ice cream sandwich and found them now wear vegan cotton sweets in reusable keepers! Can't wait to try them! They also have many interior/outside seats if they can't wait to enjoy their delicious! it is in vain (expensiw) especially for special items.
