Whole Foods Market - New Orleans

Fairly large Whole Foods with a good salad bar. Far from the centre, though, so not really convenient as an alternative for lunch when visiting New Orleans.

This is largely like any other Whole Foods you have been to. You will find all the usual suspects when it comes to natural food store snacks and beverages, plus a couple vegan deli and bakery items.

Multitude of vegan pastries fresh and packaged. Also vegan sandwich option (freshly made) and sushi rolls. Everything is fresh and healthy!

Large Whole Foods, large produce section but not many prepared vegan meals (only two)

This location has a decent produce section, bulk foods, and carries a lot of vegan specialty products. Frozen products are a bit scattered. I do wish the hot bar served more plant-based options — the Mid-City location often has vegan Cuban fare such as plaintains, black beans, and rice, but this location tends to have mostly meat-based dishes and Louisiana staples like mac ‘n cheese. The sushi section usually has a few vegan rolls, and occasionally options beyond the typical cucumber and avocado roll. There is also often a coconut-based vegan chocolate mousse hidden among the refrigerated pastries.
