Many options ! - Edit
Whole Foods tends to have the widest array of vegan options in terms of groceries, hot foods, desserts and baked goods out of any grocery store. Always enjoy picking up some things I usually don’t get!

Excellent Store: But Avoid the Fish Department - Edit
I love Whole Foods Market and this store, but AVOID THE FISH DEPARTMENT: it is managed very poorly. I am not alone in this review. Many of the negative comments speak specifically to the Fish Department. If you ask to see or pick out a piece of fish - or god forbid - ask someone behind the counter to filet a whole fish for you: You are met with some of the nastiest customer service I have ever experienced anywhere. You are told that all the fish, every single one of them, are exactly the same size and dimension - despite your pleas that you are looking for a certain thickness or size of fish for a specific dish you are cooking etc. The Fish Department's Manager will let you know your inquiries are not welcome and that you need to take whatever piece of fish she decides to throw at you. Her bad attitude, and the negative culture she has created around her in the Fish Department, goes against the ethos and values of Whole Foods Markets everywhere. The other departments however at this location - especially the meat department and everyone at check out - are run by some of the loveliest people in all of Minneapolis.

a WFM is a WFM. - Edit
Less prepackaged selection than other WFM I've seen. The produce section has more variety than other WFM I've seen. A WFM is a WFM. I did appreciate the cooler in the back of the store with vegan "meats" and "cheeses" though I was surprised that they didn't have anything from the nearby Herbivorious Butcher.

good options - Edit
like most of the whole foods around the country this has some good vegan options in the deli which are usually labeled. Sometimes reading the ingredient list is required. My favorite is the raw kale salad.
Read morethey usually have vegan baked goods as well. check the cookies, pies, and cakes. Sometimes things like the cherry pie are vegan even though they are not labeled. read the ingredients or ask a staff member for help.

Come here every time I'm in the cities - Edit
This Whole Foods is the larger one in the area (another one nearby in St. Paul is smaller). They don't serve coffee here to the best of my knowledge, and although they have hot to-go pizza did not have any vegan slices. However, I was happy to find frozen Tofutti pizza for the first time at this store. The prepared food section is a good size, with two cold and one hot tables. For the bakery made-in-store items in the glass case, I have not seen any vegan options and have checked back a few times. Of course, as any Whole Foods does, packaged vegan desserts are always available. For a person living in a more isolated part of Minnesota where good veggies are actually hard to find, I was delighted to see the large produce section. The supplement/vitamin/body products section is a few aisles, i.e. of relatively large size.

I love this place. - Edit
They have a lot of frozen goods to choose from, as well as dried soup cups. Way better selection for vegetarians/vegans than any other grocery store.

Mediocre hot foods, good desserts - Edit
This Whole Foods has a somewhat mediocre hot foods section. It only has a few, bland-looking and tasting vegan dishes; their hot wok Asian area is a tad overpriced and also too processed-industrialized in its offerings (tofu teriyaki bowl, etc.).
Read moreHowever, they have at least three or four high quality vegan desserts, including vegan cheesecake from The Chicago Diner. This makes the place serviceable.
Parking is difficult as it's a small lot in a confusing, busy 3-way intersection.
Pros: Vegan desserts
Cons: Location, Mediocre cooked foods
