About our store:

Shoppers looking for a one-of-a-kind experience will find it at the new Whole Foods Market Newport Beach.

Located at 415 Newport Center Drive in Fashion Island. It also marks a first for the world’s leading natural and organic foods supermarket with the national debut of the “Tea Hive,” a fusion café and tea bar and the coastal-themed Back Bay Tavern, a full-service beer and wine bar.

Our store’s commitment to locally-sourced products is evident by its offerings from more than 100 local vendors and farmers from nearby Orange, San Diego and Los Angeles counties including: Homegrown Meats, Backyard Bees (with products in both grocery and whole body), Archi's Acres, Stehly, Suzies, Go Green, Carlsbad Aquafarm and Ale Smith.

Designed and built with the environment in mind, all of the wood used on the walls and soffits is reclaimed lumber salvaged from old canneries in Northern California. In the wine and dairy areas, used wine tank staves, stained deep purple and light red from the wine in the barrels, were used on the walls. In 2008, the bar had a small cameo role in the movie, Revolutionary Road. The smaller bar used for the Express wine and beer bar at the front of the store was made with reclaimed wood from the 19^th century.

In-store standouts

The Tea Hive – Customers can choose green, black or oolong tea in almost any imaginable form – whether frozen, sparkling, iced or steamed. Specialty drinks are made in martini shakers by “Tea Tenders.” Among the offerings are a: Pomarita, a refreshing blend of pomegranate and tart lime with green tea, and Chocolate Chai, black tea, spiced chai, chocolate and cinnamon. Paired with these delicious beverages, are natural fusion entrees, such as bowls and wraps using local and organic products.

Back Bay Tavern – Seating for 150 and a rotating selection of 36 craft beers on tap, plus wine and spirits, along with an extensive menu that includes beef, seafood, vegetarian and vegan meals. A smaller “Express” wine and beer bar will be available at the front of the store for quicker service.

Free Wi-Fi and plenty of parking

 “We were passionate about designing a store with unique features that reflect the Newport Beach lifestyle,” said George Khoury, Whole Foods Market Newport Beach Store Team Leader. “We are excited to be part of an innovative community that embraces new trends and look forward to bringing customers an experience that truly sets us apart from any other market,” added Khoury.
