It's no secret that Whole Foods is a place where dreams come true (especially for Amazon Prime members). If you've ever stepped into one of its many, many locations, you already know all of the treats there are to be discovered. From desserts to healthy dairy alternatives, every aisle is filled with goodies that'll have you filling your cart to the brim. (And as you'll soon see, you shouldn't sleep on the 365 brand, exclusive to Whole Foods.) With such a variety of snacks, drinks, and foods, it can be hard to narrow down your haul. Luckily, we're here to help. Here are some absolute cult favorites from the most heavenly of grocery stores. In fact, they're so good, loyal shoppers might not even want you to know about them!
Cado Avocado Frozen Dessert
News of this dairy-free delight broke the internet. The follow-up news that it was available at Whole Foods didn't hurt either.
Vital Farms Pasture Raised Eggs
Whole Foods has been big on cage-free produce for more than a decade, but now, their 365 Everyday Value eggs are pasture-raised too.
Nut Milks
There's not much the store doesn't have in terms of non-dairy milk alternatives. Its wide selection of almond milk, in particular, is super popular.
Oat Milks
Like we said. So. Many. Dairy. Alternatives. When the oat milk craze first kicked off, Whole Foods stocked up.
Biena Chickpea Snacks
Have you had these delightful crunchy chickpea morsels? Do you know what it's like to be ALIVE?
Kite Hill "Cream Cheese"
Kite Hill makes its cream cheese-style spreads from nuts, and Whole Foods is known to carry a huge selection.
Olive Oils
THERE 👏 ARE 👏 SO 👏 MANY 👏 AND 👏 THEY 👏 ARE 👏 ALL 👏 SO 👏 PURE 👏 AND 👏 GOOD.
BarkThins Dark Chocolate Almond Snack
Combine the taste of rich dark chocolate with the nutty goodness of almonds, and you've got yourself a snack you won't be able to get enough of.
365 Cereals
There is a 365 version of just about every flavor of cereal. Score.
4th & Heart Ghee
A super niche product, but one that people would die for. Whole Foods has been on the ghee beat for awhile now.
365 Peanut Butter
Again, there are about a million peanut butter brands at Whole Foods, but their 365 Everyday Products peanut butter is (1) healthy, and (2) tastes luxuriously good.
Sukhi's Gourmet Indian Foods
The gourmet Indian food brand has fans for daaaays. Although this quick tikka masala meal is a favorite, their Indian-style street wraps (found in the freezer section) are also amazing. The veggie samosa one, in particular, is a joy.
Quality Confections Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels
Quite honestly the most delicious snack dessert to ever exist.
Soaps
Don't sleep on the Whole Foods beauty department—specifically their soaps. The scents of A La Maison de Provence will send you on a trip to France.
365 Frozen Fruits
Another house line that's 100 percent worth buying. Their frozen fruit selection is A+ and makes just about a million lives easier every day.
365 Organic Coconut Oil
Delicious, nutritious, and exclusive to Whole Foods.
Dang Coconut Chips
There are plenty of chip substitutes out there, but none are more addictive than Dang Coconut Chips. The thin, wispy slices of coconut meat will have you close to swearing off junk food altogether.
Harmless Harvest Coconut Water
Aaand while you're juggling your coconut oil and coconut chips, you might wanna pick up some of this good stuff too. Trust us, you won't regret it.
Barnana Plantain Chips
If you find yourself in the snack aisle, don't forget to grab these sweet 'n' salty delights. But you already knew to do that!

Fresh-Baked Pastries
Are you even human if you walk through a Whole Foods bread and pastry section—which includes these butter croissants!—and don't buy...all of it?
Health-Ade Kombucha
Though Health-Ade's not cheap, it is delicious and frequently on sale at Whole Foods.
The Salad Bar
Both the salad bar and hot bars are so fresh and fancy, it's easy to get carried away. Whole Foods experts know to take advantage of the scales the store puts around those areas and how to best hack it so their lunch is closer to $7 than $17.
365 Brown Rice
Though there are plenty of rice options at Whole Foods, people swear by the texture and natural sweetness of 365's specifically.
Almost Anything You Can Buy In Bulk
The store's nuts, spices, powders, and snacks are easily accessible and allow for relatively cheap bulk buying, considering what you're getting.

Mary's Gone Crackers
There's no other way to put it: These are simply another cult classic. And yes, they have everything-flavored crackers.
Beyond Meat Burgers
The day they came to Whole Foods, the world was forever changed.
Sparkling Water

These aren't exclusive to Whole Foods, but gosh, do they know how to strategically place a cute little snacking cheese near the absolute essential cheeses you specifically came for or what?
365 Chocolate Sandwich Cremes
Yes, they're basically Oreos. Yes, they're fuh-reaking delicious.

When these babies come into season, run—don't walk—to your local Whole Foods.
365 Farm-Raised Atlantic Salmon Fillets
We get it: Frozen fish seems like a weird item to put on a roundup of best sellers...but you haven't tried Whole Foods's frozen Atlantic Salmon Fillets yet. Just you wait.
365 Ice Cream Sandwiches
Who doesn't love ice cream sandwiches? Well, the 365 Whole Foods brand brings you organic ice cream. Beat that.

Frozen bags of riced cauliflower eliminate the heavy lifting when you want to whip up a carb-free dinner.
