Overall ok - Edit
I go here from time to time when looking for specific items most grocery stores don't have available. It's my go to for holiday meal planning, but not a regular place for my routine shopping. I've been to their other locations throughout the state, and this one does not offer nearly the same vegan options as the others. Their deli and bakery sections for sure lack the variety and options that are available at other locations.

Huge store - Edit
A large store with alot of options including vegan products. Usually I see new vegan food here first such as vegan cheeses and chips. They also have a buffet section where they usually have a few vegan options such as tofu, etc. There's also a salad bar and juice bar. Their bakery has some vegan options near it. Their produce department is big and there's usually alot of organic produce too. They also usually have some vegan magazines. They also sell vegan makeup lines, natural perfumes, and more. I usually like to stop in to see what's new there.
Read morePros: Big store in a good location., Alot of vegan options., Buffet & prepared food counter has vegan sometimes

Meet Shop and Eat! BUT READ THE LABELS - Edit
I love this store for the choices but be aware of the labels! Not everything is healthy. The staff, are helpful, friendly and really seem happy.
Read moreRecently, the "Health Starts Here" choices at the prepared food buffet have declined at an alarming rate. The items we found recently was at the salad bar: lettuce, tomato, cucumber etc marked as "Health Starts Here". The prepared food is convenient for ethical vegans and vegetarians but limited for Plant Based health focused folks.
I love the Wine Bar they put in with a variety of items you can order off their menu OR grab something from the shelf and sit down and consume right there! Great place to meet friends ,,, have a chat and then shop! TONS of parking.
It is located in a shopping center with a movie theatre nearby. You can buy a few compliant treats to take with you to the movie!
If you don't like crowds, Sunday morning is the best time!

A LOT OF SELECTION - Edit
This store has a lot of organic selections but you have to be very careful about reading the labels and eating from the deli. Conventional food is used with the deli selections. The meat prices are astounding and I never buy my meat from here. I can get it from other local sources much cheaper.

large store - Edit
While visiting Naples, we stopped in for lunch as well as to pick up items for our plane ride home. The store is on the large side and all the usual vegan items were to be found. The deli area is large too, but they don't separate out the vegan items into a their own bar, so you have to look through all the non-vegan items to find them. We ordered personal pizzas and got some salads too for lunch. The pizzas had too much Daiya on them, but were a good size for the price. The salads were tasty, so we took more to go with us. Overall, a nice store, but as they are non-vegan, I never give Whole Foods 5 cows.

Not bad for a quick bite - Edit
Great selection of cold and hot food, which can be a problem because the price goes by weight. Also many times I've found the food too salty. Not a bad place after all if you want to sit down and grab a bite after you're done shopping, but I wouldn't go out there just to eat.

juice bar - Edit
tons of great stuff to choose from. nice people. watch out not all the produce is labeled organic so don't assume!! the juice bar would be better if when i ordered a carrot apple juice they actually juiced the apples instead of mixing bottled apple juice with freshly juiced carrots...that's so lazy they are a hugge corporation mkay they can afford it. and we juicers know that theres a huge difference. overall good stuff but personally i think supporting your local mom and pop health food store that sells locally grown produce is better for the world. :)) try for goodness sake in naples or bonita springs.
Read morePros: good selection, nice people
Cons: bad hot bar, bad salad bar, corporations use up natural resources
