recommendations by a vegas girl who loves to eat deliciously (big foodie) and drink a lot of tea (namely, matcha)

Whole Foods is one of those iconic stores that pretty much everyone has heard of. Hosting a large grocery selection of Organic and natural items from foods to cleaning supplies, alcoholic beverages, pet products, personal beauty items, fresh baked goods, sushi, hot soup bar, fresh cheese bar and salad bar! With a growing city creating heavy congestive traffic I do not get to my local Whole Foods as much I used to when I lived closer to the location. Amazon Prime gives the feature of ordering my grocery list easily on the Amazon App to either pick up at the store or have delivered saving more time in my busy life! (And anyone who used to remember Friday Night Flights hosted at whole Foods is an OG reading this!! Was an amazing tasty weekly event that is severely missed)
