Austin,TX.
Hello everyone, let me introduce you to Wholy Bagel. It is one of the treasures we have in Austin,TX.  Wholy Bagel Deli has such large variety to choose from bagels,lox to a full deli.When I walked into the door and met Scott the owner, I ordered a bagel with cream cheese. "Which cream cheese do you want, we have 17 flavors. Wholy Bagel makes over 17 flavors of cream cheese fresh daily. The bagels are true NY style large in size crunchy on the outside soft inside and delicious alone. When stuffed with one of their cream cheese selections it is a culinary delight.
17 Cream Cheese Flavors Made fresh daily!

Scott Campanozzi, Proud Owner
Wholy Bagel Deli will take special orders for pies.
Every day you can get freshly baked cookies, and a full-service delicatessen. They stock only the best Boar's Head meats and cheeses.
I am anxious to return and order a bagel sandwich as these are the best bagels in Austin! I have tried others and no one can compare to the flavor of these bagels.
 
Just one of the signs in front of the store when I visited in June.
Take my word for it if you want a authentic tasting New York bagel this is your shop. If you are hungry for a deli sandwich for lunch, head over and order it. Corporate events, let Scott know what you need then just stop by grab and go. Swing in for lunch, from N.Y. and homesick? Visit Wholy Bagel.
 I found the service courteous, fast, and engaging and it has been a pleasure to write a review of Wholy Bagel Deli.

Opened: Whole Foods Market Arbor Trails.





Whole Foods Market opened in the Shops at Arbor Trails on June 19th!
Whole Foods - Whole People - Whole Planet.





Whole Foods at Arbor Trails is located just off Mopac 1 at 4301 W. William Cannon in South Austin. An easy drive from anywhere in  the Austin area.
This 39,600 square foot store is staffed with 55 long term employees brought from other stores, as well as about 155 newcomers.

Customer service comes naturally from dedicated folks who love what they do. Anyone working at Whole Foods Market can assist you, and are eager to do so. Now that is a comforting thought !


 "Health Starts Here"signs throughout the store serve as a guide for finding healthy food options. The 'Healthy Food Starts Here' resource area offers books and healthy recipes. Most are made with unprocessed whole foods, with no added oils, and no refined sugar. A Recipe Kiosk will also be available for shoppers to locate, print, and use recipes as a shopping guide.  Yet another way to help families locate healthy whole foods.

  Each department has expert Team Members to help you locate products and the Grocery department has an extensive selection of specialty diet foods. A few of the selections include vegan options, raw foods, and gluten free food.

 What struck me as brilliant about this store is the flow of traffic.You move through the front door to enter produce, floral, bulk foods (grains,massive selections), on to meat counter, seafood counter, and cheese counter. Right in front of your meats, seafood, and cheese is a large offering of wines. All meat and poultry come from animals raised on vegetarian diets with no antibiotics and no added hormones.

How handy ! Pick up your appetizer, entree, and shop your wine all in one section.
  
   The store has Green features natural lighting fixtures, and solar panels that run the length of the buildings roof.  From reclaimed and repurposed elements, to the tailgates hanging above the check out centers to the many signs through out the store. Above produce you find a reclaimed metal fence with garden hose wound inside, making quite the unique ceiling divider. Just a few of the wonderful Green aspects that gives the Whole Foods Market Arbor Trails store that authentic South Austin feel.


 Guest Services offers Personal Shopping services, and catering services, for small or large gatherings. There is a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on all purchases, and a 10 cent reusable bag credit for each bag brought to pack your purchase. 
Don't forget to use the Electric car charging station in the parking lot.
Or for a whole new perspective, ride your bicycle to the store and use the bike racks or the bike maintenance station with air and general bike maintenance tools.
