In the Neighborhood: Whole Foods Market (4800 El Camino Real, Los Altos)

Walk, bike or drive a mile and a half from Orchard Park and you will happen upon the local Whole Foods Market.

Much bigger than the downtown Palo Alto location, this Whole Foods offers an endless variety of products and one of the largest selections of cheese you're likely to find on the peninsula.

The meat and fish counters impress with their fresh, humanely farmed meats – fit to pair with a bottle of vino found in one of the multiple isles dedicated to wines from around the world.

The prepared foods area offers a variety of different cuisines and is perfect for those days when you’re not quite sure what you’re craving. Don’t forget to grab something from the dessert bar, whether you’re in the mood for mochi or baklava they’ve got you covered. If you decide to drive, hassle-free underground parking is available at all times of the day.
