Our Lady of Whole Foods

Austin is known for its busy live music scene, the university, their proudly independent bookstores/cafes/restaurants, and...



... Austin is also the corporate home of Whole Foods Market!












80,000 square feet of Whole Foods goodness!














Bakeries!












Prepared foods! Indian! Japanese! Korean! American!

Three soup stations serving two dozen different kinds of soup!

A gelato bar! A panini bar! Smoothies! Udon! Satay! Coffee! BBQ! Handmade chocolate truffles! Cooking classes!

And a raw food bar!!! In Texas!!!

This store makes the one in Campbell look like a 7-11.





Pretty bread!













Pretty, pretty pastries!!!


I could live here. And by here, I mean in this store.








And did I mention that this store, this cathedral of beautiful food, is across the street from REI, Anthropologie, and an indy bookstore?

I LOVE Austin.
