For a supermarket in Chevy Chase, this is pretty big. It has all the stations you would expect from a Whole Foods (specialty cheeses, fresh produce, local offerings, bakery, fresh seafood, fresh meat, etc) See photos. There are some tables and chairs on the main level and the lower level where I see a lot of people on their laptops. This Whole Foods does have some prepared/hot food options so you can grab a meal and just work from here. In terms of parking, there is an attached garage that you will want to enter from the Friendship Blvd. They do valid parking tickets if the duration is less than 1.5 hours. No min purchase necessary. They now have self checkout counters in addition to the reg...
I stopped by in search of salmon burgers but ended up getting sidetracked by everything else the store has to offer. I really enjoy shopping at Whole Foods, but I think it would be helpful if someone greeted customers with a map of the aisles or even provided a digital version. It can be quite overwhelming for those who don't visit often. The fresh fish counter caught my attention, but I wasn't quite sure what to choose, so I decided to pass it by. Instead, I ended up purchasing some pricey uncured low-sodium bacon and shredded lettuce, though I noticed several pieces of the lettuce had already started to turn brown. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find a fresh-looking bag of lettuce...
I had a frustrating experience with the customer service at this restaurant. Every time I visit, I encounter long checkout lines because only one or two registers are open for those with more than 15 items. Just yesterday, there was only a single checkout lane available. On top of that, prices have been rising dramatically. For instance, Amy's soup was $3.69 per can last week, but yesterday it skyrocketed to $5.29. I would rate this store less than one star if I could.
I appreciated that there were no panhandlers outside the store. However, the customer service area was quite chaotic, with returns mixed in with employee applications in a disorganized line. It took a lot longer than expected to return some unwanted keto snacks, even though I had the receipt. The hot foods bar was tidier at 2 PM than it was yesterday at 4 PM. The chicken tikka masala, priced at $12 per pound, was delicious.

On a positive note, the management has finally introduced a self-checkout station, which has put an end to the long wait times. I can now get in and out of the store in under twenty minutes! Pro tip: The Amazon locker feature is a game-changer. You can pick up groceries and grab an Amazon package in a single trip. How convenient is that!
This is the cleanest Whole Foods store I have ever visited. The staff is consistently very friendly and eager to assist. The long lines that used to be a problem have greatly diminished since they added a self-checkout lane, significantly reducing foot traffic.
I was staying at a nearby hotel and grabbed some breakfast items from this market. It was a bit crowded, but easy to get to on foot. They had all the essentials, and the location was very convenient.
This store location is so poorly managed. The entire leadership team should be fired. Not staffing to the price levels is absurd. There are never even half of the registers open

The cashier was quite rude—there was no greeting, no smile, nothing at all. She tossed my meat on the counter carelessly and roughly. I won't be coming back.
The restaurant's operating hours are not accurate, as it closes at 2 PM.
