In Short – The 80,000-squar-foot organic market is a vegetarian's and healthy eater's dream, with a focus on natural and organic goods and a gargantuan selection of fruits, vegetables and vegan products. Bu carnivores won't feel neglected, as the store also boasts a vast selection of top-quality meats, poultry and fish. The massive sales floor also stocks wine, beer, fresh-baked goods, housewares, fresh-cut flowers, yoga apparel and accessories. There's also a large section for vitamins, personal products and health food.

the food looks like the cover of one of those hoity toity vegetarian cooking mags and tastes about as good as the paper they're printed on to. its basicly a place to go to be seen. its the wal mart of health. go to wheatsville instead and support your community.

Over Priced-Tattoo Turn Off
by tone1
This location is in no way an indication of many locations around the country but it sems odd that the Flagship is so dead set on poor judgement.
Yes its Austin but subsidising the tattoo profession is not well intentioned. Consider what your staf has to look forward to.
Know to the food, quality and pricing. Good prepared food onsite! Service is average at best. In particular the bakery staff and chocolate counter are arrogant and not knowledgable.
Prices are out of line with the market. Just because your sales are good isn't a sign of your good steward mantra being observed.
- Pros: Good Gourmet Selection
- Cons: Save the Freak Show for When I'm Not Paying
