Andronicos: I wish I was a Whole Foods

by PaxAxe

Every time I shop at Andronicos (which is only when I absolutely have to) I can't help but wonder why the costs are so high, or where all that cost mark-up goes as I wait in ridiculously long, understaffed check-out lines. At least at Whole Foods you can get some degree of service for the money you're spending.

If you need help finding something, good luck in finding someone to help you. Help cuts in to their profits maybe?

Along with being understaffed, they are usually under-stocked as well, so if there is a sale, again good luck in finding any left, just "try coming back on Thursday".

• Pros: Has SOME items that you can't get at Safeway
• Cons: You will pay more for just about anything

This is the sad excuse the Sunset has to offer in place of a Whole Foods. Their products are expensive, and there's a huge lack of selection. Their meat isle is especially lacking as the only grass-fed beef I was able to buy one day is pre-chopped for beef stew. Also, the only organic anything in terms of protein was chicken.

Quite pretentious little supermarket.

by kivanov

Quite pretentious little supermarket.  Prices are fairly expensive.  You run into a lot of soccer moms.  But hey, if you're looking for good food and don't mind all of the above, then this is a great supermarket.  They have a lot of everything.  The food that they offer is pretty great.  They have fun desserts, plants, some ethnic food.  It's like a little Whole Foods in the Sunset.  My favorite thing that they offer is their date bars.  They're like fig newton bars, but totally unhealthy and yummy.  Man, they're good!!!
