• Overall Impression Was Okay

Whole Foods in Chattanooga is a nice place with lots of Vegetarian/Vegan options, however the food itself wasn't anything to brag about. I was pretty happy to see clearly marked Vegan options, but a lot of them in the self-serve buffet were either almost empty or dried-out from being in the heaters too long. Also many of the soups and tofu options were simply not tasty at all. There were some good finds though, the mock chicken salad is INCREDIBLE!! I still can't believe it's not actually chicken, the texture is just like meat. Also they have a vegan pizza option where you can buy by the slice which was decent. The crust was great, but vegan cheese got a little too runny and pizza got kind of soggy. There also have a juice bar, but it is very expensive-around 5-6 dollars just for a 16 ounce cup. The store in general has a nice vibe to it with an upstairs dining area complete with tables and couches. I saw a few students studying while snacking and it was very relaxed and quiet. The only major complaint I had was I can across some fruit being placed right next to packaged raw meats in the same display cooler. As a vegan it just turned me off, and for health reasons they could have found a better place to keep the meat or at least put it in a separate display bin. Overall, nice place, but way too expensive for what you get.
