Whole Foods Austin vs. Whole Foods Pittsburgh

This is the view from my table on the patio at the whole Foods store in Austin, TX. I am visiting Austin for a few days and I walked into whole foods to pick up a snack. I think this is the origionsl Whole Foods and it is way more than a grocery store. I had to walk past the windows of the catering/cooking school to get to the front door - I have since figured out there are like 6 entrances. I am going to guess that this store is about 8 times the size of the Pittsburgh one. So what is Pittsburgh missing ? Juice bar, wine shop, beer cooler, mini clothing boutique, a huge produce section, larger bakery, candy counter with chocolate fountain, patio with babbling brooke, composting bins and a concierge. I am not sure what a grocery store concierge does but they have one.

Hope you enjoyed your visit.
Actually, that location opened only a few years ago (2005). They were across the street to the north for 10 years before that and the original location as a few blocks farther north. We did a post about Whole Foods during the "7 Gifts" series that several Metblogs cities did back in 2006.
