The highly anticipated Whole Foods Newport Beach will be opening at Fashion Island on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at 9 a.m. Natural and organic foods enthusiasts will appreciate the supermarket’s emphasis on sourcing local products, and its reflection of the community with a coastal themed Back Bay Tavern, with 24 craft beers on tap, wine and spirits and meals that include beef, seafood, vegetarian and vegan options, as well as debuting the first fusion café and tea bar called the Tea Hive.
Stop by and order an innovative green, black or oolong tea drink from the menu that comes frozen, sparkling, iced or steamed. Specialty drinks will include a Pomarita, a blend of pomegranate and tart lime with green tea, or a Chocolate Chai drink with black tea, spiced chai, chocolate and cinnamon. And try a fusion entrée with your tea including bowls and wraps. Feeling rushed for time? There will be an “Express” beer and wine bar with 12 beers on tap at the front of the store.
Aside from the delicious made from scratch items baked fresh daily at the bakery; the fresh juice and coffee bar; and the hot and cold prepared foods bar; other exceptional features at Whole Foods Newport Beach include a ‘Get Crocked’ area to purchase easy meals that can be made in a crockpot; more than 1300 gluten-free items to chose from; an extensive bulk and raw foods section, staple value items under the Whole Foods 365 label; and Whole Body items from skin care, to supplements and vitamins.
