Bakery & Cafe

In our bakery, you’ll find more than 75 varieties of
mouth watering handcrafted breads and pastries baked with all natural
ingredients. Whole Foods Market never uses bleached or bromated flour,
preservatives or anything else artificial. Our breads are made with
organic grains and flours, and contain no hydrogenated oils.

Grab a coffee drink — espresso, cappucino, latte or
other, or tea, and linger in our café where, in conjunction with the
Fine Arts League of Cary, we feature art work by local artists.

Floral

In our floral department you will find a magnificent
selection of potted plants, fresh cut flowers, garden accessories and
seasonal items. Our offerings include organic potted herbs and organic
cut flowers when available. Made-to-order gift baskets are available,
too. And, with sufficient notice, we take orders for floral
arrangements.

In our Garden Center we feature seasonal potted
plants, gardening tools, food for our furry friends (birds, squirrels,
etc.) and more.

Grocery

Our grocery department offers a full line of organic
and conventional grocery, dairy and frozen items. We offer products

preservatives. Our extensive bulk section includes spices, baking
items, fruits, nuts, grains, cereals and more. We carry a full line of
products for shoppers with special dietary needs: gluten-free,
wheat-free, low sodium, dairy-free, and soy. For your convenience, we

In addition to the all-natural national brands we

Prepared Foods

Whether you are looking for a quick lunch or

casual get-together, a full meal to go or a catered affair for 200, our
Prepared Foods Department has what you need — a deli, a salad bar,
sushi bar, meals-to-go, and a hot bar offering breakfast, lunch and
dinner. And, each year we offer prepared meals at many of the major
holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukah, Valentine’s Day, Passover,
and more.

ugli fruit and more. And for those shoppers who want to know more about
how to choose, prepare, and store produce, read up in our produce section.

Seafood

Here, the seafood lover will experience the best
tasting, freshest selection in town. Most people think of seafood as a
natural food item and do not realize the majority of seafood items are
altered with the use of chemicals. Your purchase of seafood at Whole
Foods Market translates into support of our mission to provide pure,
clean product; lobby for ongoing protection of our waters and
endangered species; press for important conservation measures, and
encourage positive change among the industry’s suppliers and retailers.
We offer over 50 varieties of seafood, and have a wide variety of
smoked fish, pates, seafood salads, and more.

The seafood department provides the following services at no additional charge:

• peel and de-vein shrimp purchased at our store, (24 hours notice required)
• steam and season shrimp
• prepare fish to customers’ specifications
• skin fish, and de-bone when possible
• order unusual items or place special orders, with sufficient notice

overflowing with one of the most extensive cheese selections in the
Triangle. We feature all natural specialties such as Parmigiano
Reggiano, artisan goat cheeses, raw milk cheddars, fresh mozzarella, a
variety of cheese spreads, hard-to-find imports and organic cheeses,
all complemented by our extensive wine and beer selections. Our cheese
is free of artificial flavors, colors and preservatives. Pick up some
fresh pasta or pasta sauce, pesto sauce, domestic and imported butters,
olives and more. We also carry a choice of teas and coffees from
countries throughout the world. If you are looking for information on a
particular cheese (ingredients, nutrition facts, description),  email your questions to our cheese experts.

aloe vera shampoos to French milled soaps — are made from the purest
ingredients. Our Whole Body department offers a tremendous choice of
vitamins, minerals, natural dietary supplements, and herbal and
