It’s a Whole Foods! - Edit
This is largely like any other Whole Foods you have been to. You will find all the usual suspects when it comes to natural food store snacks and beverages, plus a couple vegan deli and bakery items.

Standard fare - Edit
This location has a decent produce section, bulk foods, and carries a lot of vegan specialty products. Frozen products are a bit scattered. I do wish the hot bar served more plant-based options — the Mid-City location often has vegan Cuban fare such as plaintains, black beans, and rice, but this location tends to have mostly meat-based dishes and Louisiana staples like mac ‘n cheese. The sushi section usually has a few vegan rolls, and occasionally options beyond the typical cucumber and avocado roll. There is also often a coconut-based vegan chocolate mousse hidden among the refrigerated pastries.

Standard fare for Whole Foods - Edit
The biggest selling point of this Whole Foods market is the expansive outdoor seating area right at the front of the store. It has a very welcoming feel- perfect for the South.
Read moreWhen you walk into the store, expect the traditional marketing of the produce specials. Plenty of produce to choose from, and or course, the local produce is clearly identified. Keep walking around the store and expect to find all of the staples from herbs to spices to prepared foods to cereals to beauty care to home items to companion animal food to breads to baked goods to veg meat alternatives to non-dairy milks.
The prepared foods area isn't as nicely presented as some other stores. In addition, I wish there were more vegan options, but it must be supply and demand. Lots of cheese and dairy for the veg options.
The store has some of the new electronic price tags, so that's cool.
Pros: Produce , Whole Foods marketing and quality
Cons: Needs more vegan prepared foods

Good salad bar - Edit
Fairly large Whole Foods with a good salad bar. Far from the centre, though, so not really convenient as an alternative for lunch when visiting New Orleans.

Whole foods, non labelled non organic and refined - Edit
Whole foods has sometimes aved me travelling from eating really bad foods. But for the price per pound they charge, the global quality vegatebales beans and grains non labelled which means they are industrial bulk products, and bad cheap oils, in brown rice for example, the food never lasted more then 24hours in the fridge, so was already nearly rancid when i bought it. Very green wahing brand in usa, not even giving serious garanties about gmo. A chain can't be good is my deduction for mac donalds as for whole foods. Try to find a locally engaged, maybe smaller farmers community suppporting cooperative shop. (consumer or workers owned) >>> www.coopdirectory.org/directory.htm
Read moresome few good organic brands like eden, and some nice friendly people working there, and sometimes better then nothing, for emergencies only, like every supermarket.
Pros: everywhere, worse does exist, got some (few) good organic products
Cons: industrial, environmentally destructive, expensive, bad quality, inducing consumers in error

Thank the gods for Whole Foods - Edit
It took us quite some time to take the street car up to the 6000 block of St Charles, then hike over to Magazine, but it was worth the trip (we were able to take the city bus back down Magazine, toward the French Quarter). We were jonesin' for some fake meat and vegan dessert, which are too scarce in this lovely town. I would rather give my money to a local restaurant, so let's let them know we demand to have more options.
