Wholesome Gourmet Market

We’re from California and our time clocks were in California time. It was 11:00PM and we were wide awake and starving. We looked this up on Unilocal and are so glad we did… It was FANTASTIC! The food came in 20 minutes from the time we ordered… delivered hot and delicious!!! Deliver man was super nice. Everything could not have been better. I highly recommend Wholesome Gourmet Market.

LOVE LOVE LOVE them. They deliver at random hours, the food is great and staff is friendly.
I had to make it 4 stars instead of 5 because I ordered carrot cake one morning and they sent me strawberry instead, I didn’t like it and would’ve chosen anything else if I had known they were out of carrot cake. Delivery for me has always been great tho — food arrives hot and a half hour before I expect it.

the salads and paninis are awesome!!! unfortunately the delivery sucks

So… I ordered three slices of cake.
2 Carrot and 1 Raspberry. I received 1 Lemon Coconut 1 Cheesecake and 1 German Chocolate. 2 of the cakes that I received were dry. I called and they refunded me a $ 6 coupon that only lasted the same day, but my order was $ 15.00 + $ 500 tip. $ 20!!!
They refused to deliver the correct order. No Bueno! Not sure why you guys decided to ignore the customer!
Here I thought gentrification would bring some nice perks to my neighborhood or nah!

I used to shop there every day until one day my son accidentally broke jar of jam and the cleaning guy gave me stinky attitude about it, saying I have to pay for it and to watch my child. In few instances the guys behind register overcharged and I am certain that it was not an accident. Finally, once I bought bread and after feeding it to my son and eating it myself, I noticed it had mold on it. We were both sick for a week. This place is lucky because I seriously consider suing them. Also, their prices are sky high for a health food store. There is nearby health food store on Church and E 19 and he prices are much more reasonable.

I don’t understand what’s wrong with this place. When you go in person, order in person, everything is fine and the order is always correct. But for some reason literally the SAME PERSON whom you order from in person can’t understand how to use a damn telephone. And the orders always the same too; why can’t you listen and follow direction over the phone??! Also the delivery time is abysmal. It shouldn’t take 54 minutes for a salad and (incorrect) sandwich. I should have opened the food and thrown it in the delivery guy’s face.

I have no complaints about this place. I always order the burgers and fries, they come with a wide range of options at amazing prices for its quality. Really tasty for munchies lol the delivery is always on time or early and the delivery men are very polite. Frequent buyer.

This place has gone so downhill. We used to order from here all the time. They became so inconsistent. We’d order cheesecake, they’d run out and instead of calling they would substitute with whatever they like, usually carrot cake. Ordered a seafood platter (fish, scallop and shrimp) and received only 2 burnt pieces of fish. Was told by the manager they would only refund $ 2 since they did send the fish. Decided to give them another chance since we liked them in the past. They send a disgusting wrap with pesto the color of dirt. Literally spent hundreds and hundreds here last year. Will NEVER order again. Slowly they lowered their standards until there were NONE left.

I would say this place sucks for delivery like the food is wAy better if u just walk in and get it ! They have a lot of awesome items natural products etc. it’s a good addition to the neighborhood! They attract a lot of ppl but the delivery system sucks ! 3 stars for the food and the ambiance
Update: delivery has gotten a lot better I get sandwiches from here and it’s pretty good ! Def would recommend popping in as well when you can !

Yes, it’s a bit overpriced, but spots like this are where you choose the right thing at the right price, and get whatever small item you need at one of the other plethora of bodegas around the way.
My right things are, in this order: 1. Veggie Reuben ($ 5.49) which when made by the right person is the top non-​meat sandwich in the joint. It’s money!; 2. Tea or water. The first for when it’s cold post– Prospect Park runs, the latter for whenever. Coconut water here is overpriced at times; 3. Breakfast wrap (various). Always hits the spot; 4. Bagels. Standard, but tasty. They at least feel cleaner than they do at other local spots.
So yeah, don’t mess with the very overpriced ice cream (ugh) or somewhat overpriced chops, just pick your affordable options.

Only decent place to grocery shop in the neighborhood. Decent selection and helpful staff. Their sandwiches are reasonable and great! I order delivery from here often and I’ve never had a bad experience.
Cons:
They get a great product on the shelves and the next time you go back they’ve replaced it with another brand. There’s not a lot of consistency.
They charge .75 cents for a small cup of ice. The bottled beverages that come from the fridge are never cold. Ice should be complimentary if the fridge isn’t cold. Or maybe .25 cents?

Prices of the deli food (sandwiches, mozzarella sticks) do not match the price board. I was up charged by at least 2 dollars. Also, the ingredients in the sandwiches do not match their descriptions sometimes. Needless to say, if this continues… I will not be ordering food at wholesome anymore.
Also, prices of the non-​deli foods are inexplicably way too expensive.

Started off as a go to spot for a wrap or sandwich, but last few times food was practically inedible. Laziness is to blame: Ranchero Wrap is supposed to have pico de gallo, and instead they just put big slices of tomatoes and huge jalapeño slices… Not to mention overly charred (burnt) grilled chicken. To top it off, the wrap was soggy making it fall apart as if it was sitting on a wet spot on the board. This was third time being dissapointed, and now the last time ill be ordering from here

I want to like this place but they have been disappointing me. This is the third time I’ve ordered from here and received COLD food. Do you know how frustrating it is to try to east a COLD omelette? Also, when you order from Seamless, they upcharge for drinks. A Snapple is $ 1.75 in the store, but $ 1.99 when you order from Seamless. Not a noticeable difference, but it’s the principle that counts.
Anyway, the food is decent, when the guys feel like being nice and if you pick it up in person.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
They are efficient, pleasant and quick!
Their fresh mozzarella panini is delicious (I always take out the sun dried tomatoes and replace it with fresh sliced tomatoes and take out a layer of the mozzarella) PERFECT! $ 5.99 and worth it!
They have an awesome selection of organic gourmet chips and snacks! (Pricy but delicious)
I’m here daily!

I’ve come here so many times, but mostly for the inexpensive prepared food, not the groceries (which are way too expensive for my pocket, unless you’re getting the sale items). I’ve had the broccoli-​cheese and California omelets, and in general, they are a little on the cheesy side, but have fresh vegetables. The hashbrown patties are way too greasy, don’t get them if you don’t like that. Home fries are pretty good! I love the grilled cheese sandwiches here, nothing too special, just a good olé fashioned version. Fresh squeezed juice is really good and not too crazy expensive. The people who work here are a trip, love them!

Ridiculously over priced «wholesome food» here. Recently came and picked up a $ 5 head of Brocolli, it was two small heads. Needless to say I didn’t buy it. Everything is so overpriced this is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s at least 10−20% more expensive than whole foods. I only come in here if I’ve forgotten 1 or 2 items. I give them an extra star due to the service– the staff are nice. But that’s it. Do yourself a favor, get all your organic and specialty products at whole foods, a green market, or trader joes.

My BnB isn’t near a WholeFoods or Trader Joes within walking distance, and I luckily found this market just four blocks away! I have gone there everyday during my trip. The first time walking in I was overly joyed!
The market has fresh produce, and organic and vegan products! I’m happy to be able to grab my Chia Bars and Larabars before hopping onto the subway!
Would recommend this wonderful market!

Why do you hate me?
We order from here frequently due to the crazy hours we keep. However, there has NEVER been a time when we’ve received a «seamless» order. Either the syrup is missing for the pancakes or dressing for the salad.
What prompted this receive was the lack of avocado in my vegetarian Reuben. This is my standard sandwich. Yet, every time, the avocado is missing. And I feel it’s done on purpose because they load it down with sauerkraut. Sauerkraut is not a fair avocado substitute.
I’m tired of being angry at 2am over a sandwich. It makes me feel fat. Please stop falsifying the avocado. I beg of you.

Très bonne place pour manger un panini ou prendre un jus à l’extracteur. Aussi pour trouver un bon jus ou acheter un produit naturel. Les gens qui y travaillent sont très gentils.

I’m confused by the lower reviews here. Wholesome Gourmet Market is probably a little upscale for its neighborhood, but I just can’t subscribe to anyone who thinks eating healthful, real foods (yes, those cost more sometimes) is just for yuppy gentrifiers. Its not like the neighborhood doesn’t have a wealth of grocery stores, some are even pretty nice, but Wholesome GM offers a lot of products you may not be able to find at the Key Foods– like a variety of quality coffees! Their produce is also fresh, and thankfully not positioned next to a barrel of salted pig’s feet. Some of the pricing here is a little high, but at least its for good foods. You’re going to pay 2−3x as much as you should for any random grocery item at a bodega, so no one should think this is a «fancy grocery store» phenomenon.
The thing that I think really makes Wholesome GM great though, is their deli/​to go counter. Their breakfast and lunch items are incredibly reasonably priced and they even have a window bar where you can sit and eat (fully stocked with utensils and condiments). It seems like they even have free WiFi, since I saw a loafer come in with a laptop and not buy anything while I was grabbing a bite there (hey guy, that’s rude!). Even if the grocery supply here is not your style or in your budget, the deli counter meals are definitely in everyone’s range. Can’t wait to go back and try some more!
