Vegan Thanksgiving! - Edit
This is my 4th year ordering a vegan Thanksgiving meal through Whole Foods’ catering service. Go to the Whole Foods website, click on “Catering” and look for “Vegan Holiday”. It’s called “Vegan Meal for 2” but I always get 3-4 meals out of it – totally worth $39.99.
Read moreYou place the order ahead of time, then pick everything up before the holiday, and cook it at home. The food has been delicious every year. This year the meal includes the following:
WHOLE FOODS VEGAN THANKSGIVING
Pumpkin Curry Soup
Mushroom & Root Vegetable en Croûte (entrée)
Roasted Butternut Squash with Cranberries & Sage
Roasted Fingerlings with Garlic & Parsley
Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper Green Beans
Mushroom Gravy
This year I ordered an additional side of Cranberry Orange Sauce. I was really happy to find a vegan HALF pumpkin pie for sale at the bakery counter.

In a pinch - Edit
Whole Foods/Amazon is at the bottom of my list for places to spend money. However, in a pinch I will stop in for a few items. The vegan slices are affordable and readily available. Vegan brownies are a nice touch too.

Not a fan - Edit
Cynical corporate appropriation of the co-op aesthetic.

good food vs. supporting Amazon - Edit
I used to be quite thrilled with this WFM. Although it tends to be expensive, it carries a large variety of vegan goods (some that were hard to find elsewhere), has delightful staff, and has a wonderful prepared salad bar with a flavorful variety of prepared grain salads, roasted vegetables, proteins, etc.
Read moreAnd then Amazon bought WFM. Because, you know, Jeff Bezos only controls a few percent of the US economy -- why not buy up more of it? (While he tries to portray himself as a good guy, he recently cut health insurance to part -time workers.)
So I looked around, and I realized that there were getting to be more and more options for buying vegan products. The co-ops have been stepping up their games, Fresh Thyme can be pretty decent, and so can local chain Fresh & Natural (sadly, they've retrenched and are now only in Shoreview and Hudson). I can live just fine without you, Jeff Bezos, and keep my money in the community or at least the region! You bought it in August 2017, and I've only been there once since then.
Pros: Great variety of vegan food, especially prepared, Nice employees
Cons: Buy from Amazon? Not good for society.

typical whole foods - Edit
Like any other Whole Foods, there's a great selection (some genuinely healthy food and quite a bit of fake-healthy stuff), with almost everything absurdly overpriced beyond all reason, but the people are friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Ample free parking in the garage.

Close by - Edit
When you need vegan food products, and want a variety of things, this is the place to go. They are going to build a larger store close by, which will be nice, as they are so crowded now! However, I will miss not having a store 1 mile away!
Read moreThe only negative I would have is that they tend to rotate out products, so if you really like something you may not be able to get it next time.
Pros: Vegan Products, Variety, Vegan baked goods
Cons: Small store, Frequent product rotations

Bigger store is nearby, so why bother? - Edit
This Whole Foods is the smaller one in the area (another one nearby in Minneapolis is bigger). The prepared food table is small, but the veggie chili was very good. To be honest, after going once I have never returned since the much larger store is very close (on Excelsior in Minneapolis).
Read moreCons: small store, small parking lot
