About Us

Stretching the length of a city block with 30' high ceilings, 3 skylights, and lots of glass overlooking the street, Whole Foods Market Santa Monica feels more spacious than 27,000 square feet. Adding to the airy effect is the unusual layout of our store, with the bakery and specialty departments placed in the center, and the tall grocery aisles off to one side. Outside the offices on the 2nd level is a mezzanine that runs along one end and overlooks the store.

Santa Monica has other unique features.

We bake our own pastries, cookies and bread in store and our coffee roaster provides freshly roasted coffee every day. In our Specialty Department we feature a New York-style cheese case, where the unwrapped cheeses are cut to order for the customers. We also have a case that features an array of raw ,vegetarian and vegan foods. A special case in the Meat Department dry ages our Nebraska Beef for a minimum of 3 weeks for a richer, more flavorful cut of meat.
