Beautiful, huge supermarket. Attractive, wide, clean aisles. Be prepared to spend a lot of time exploring. Many breads and rolls in the bakery, nicely packaged meats and poultry. Decent sale items. Grocery items I have never before seen. Place goes on forever. Bathrooms upstairs. Lots of parking.
But expensive.

This Whole Foods is the most beautiful grocery store in America, very possibly the world!
It has its own gorgeous park with benches right over the storied and iconic gowanus canal, once a putrid disgusting waterway which has since been cleaned up 🧼
The shop is immaculate. Everything is well-placed. From the moment one enters, your immediate needs are placed at the forefront: vegetables and fruits, followed by seafood and meats and then finally other stuff we dont really need but may just want. I’m impressed at how well-thought out the product placement is. Whoever designed this shop deserves an award.
Even the produce here looks better than produce elsewhere, shinier and prettier. The atmosphere is zen and customers for the most part are in great spirits too.
The parking lot outside is beautiful with mini wind turbines and massive solar panels. I visited this shop multiple times a day during the pandemic because its such a nice store. These days I live in an outer borough so my less frequent trips are valued even deeper. I even got mugged on my way here and stopped in nonetheless to catch my breath and gather myself. Its a special place.
You’ve set a high bar for grocery shopping WFG, now I compare most places in NYC to you. I’ll go to other WF and say, sure its nice but its not Gowanus 🥰
Whole Foods Gowanus: you’re my favorite 💜 thank you for making grocery shopping so fun yet zen.
This Whole Foods has a wonderful prepared foods section.
Ended up getting the salmon plate for $15; came with two expertly prepared vegetable sides. Salmon itself was well cooked, tasted like it came from the seafood section (good texture), and had a honey glaze with nuts and such on top.
Do recommend! Also get 90 minute parking validation by spending more than $10 (and so the prepared food is enough to hit that!)
Great place to shop for wholesome foods. Many organic products. It was unusually crowded for a location that seems industrial. Plenty of free parking. The location is unique as it's the most green friendly in all of Brooklyn. It produces it's own electricity by solar and wind. Has the nations only commercial rooftop greenhouse, Gotham greens. Indoor rooftop lounge to eat and a bar. Small trail around the gowana river. It was an experience to see this in Brooklyn. And this has been around for over 10 years wow. Maybe more people will move to this area.
I found exactly things I’ve been looking for and crystals! This was my first time at this location and I was so surprised to see the dining area luncheon with a perfect mesmerizing view skyline was incredible 10 out of ten now I have an excuse not to travel to the city!
This place has lots of goodies! And pretty decent sales, if you're an Amazon member. We have been coming here for many years. We prefer it over the Bedford Avenue store.
Greatest organic eggs I ever tried (whole foods brand). Great price for organic tomatoes on the vine $2.99 per lbs. They taste good too. The organic cucumbers are tasty and reasonably priced, as well as Organic baby arugula. Whole foods organic yogurt in large container is $3.39 and they have different flavors. I get whole milk plain. Organic milk is at the best price you can find. I am attaching some photos with prices. You can find some pretty good deals. Otherwise, prices are expensive on most of the items. If you find this review helpful, please give it a thumb up. Thank you and good luck with your shopping.

There was a need for a few snacks while we were in NYC, so the hubs selected Whole Foods. We arrived around 7 pm, so that clearly plays a part in good selection.
We had no issues getting quick snacks, water, and beverages, so we decided to pick up dinner as well. Not a good idea. The hot meals were sparse and needed to either be replaced or refreshed. We ended up going with pizza slices because even the pasta area was not appetizing.
The staff was friendly, alert, and quick to assist. That part is typically a bright spot.
Oh and the pizza was alright.
Found out last minute that I needed flowers for an occasion. Whole Foods has a nice selection of premade bouquets along with a variety of potted plants available. Paid and the staff wrapped it up beautifully at no extra charge!
Walking into the Whole Foods on 3rd Ave feels like stepping into an extension of my own home. From the impeccably organized aisles, this place radiates an inviting warmth that I've rarely experienced in any other store.
If there's a crown jewel in this place, it's got to be the vegan section. Think about it: Where else can you find vegan cheeses that actually melt and taste like the real deal? The variety is stunning, and it keeps me coming back week after week.
Let's not forget the hot food bar, which has become my go-to for quick, delicious meals. With options ranging from gourmet salads to international cuisines, it's like having a world-class chef right in your kitchen.
Whole Foods on 3rd Ave stands head and shoulders above the rest. It's not just a store; it's a community hub, a culinary treasure trove, and quite frankly, my sanctuary. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out on a quintessential Brooklyn experience.
