Whole Foods Market - Glendale

I recently visited this restaurant and was pleased to find that there were numerous vegan options available at the hot bar. The selection included a variety of veggies, two types of tofu, dolmades, dips, salads, pasta salads, and even vegan cupcakes.

It appears that the hot bar/deli area has been significantly improved. However, I encountered a subpar sandwich maker today. To compensate, I added some tomato basil fat-free sauce from the salad bar to my custom veggie sandwich. I was not pleased when the sandwich was cut on the dirty counter where animal products are sliced without any paper underneath. I had to ask for fresh bread due to concerns about cross-contamination. They definitely need to improve their practices in this regard.

This is one of the largest Whole Foods stores I have visited, and it also offers convenient parking. Additionally, they have a spacious deli and bakery section.

Hey guys- just wanted to let you know that at the Whole Foods in Glendale we have opened a new Vegan hot bar. Always a grain, a legume, steamed veggies, a green, and some fancier entrees. Yesterday we had tempeh meatloaf, brown rice, black-eyed peas, steamed collard greens, pesto polenta portabello mushroom stacks, black bean, corn and quinoa stuffed bell peppers, and orange cashew rice. There is also a cold side that had some crazy yummy bhutanese red rice salad with tofu and mango, a couple of vegan salad dressings to complement our salad bar, and a cilantro pesto tofu. It is sold 7.99 per pound and a nice plate of food averages around 5-6 bucks. Come check it out and show some support! I really want it to succeed and then other locations will implement it too! I want Whole Foods to be a Health food store again. I'm also trying to get Heinz 57 ketchup kicked out of there (high fructose corn syrup AND corn syrup) so leave a comment card about how great the vegan hot bar is and how much you detest HFCS in your ketchup! Thanks guys-can't wait to see you there!

I visited this restaurant in the evening and found that there were multiple vegan options available at the hot bar. These options included a variety of vegetable dishes, at least two types of tofu, dolmades, dips, salads, pasta salads, and even vegan cupcakes.
