This is the patron seating and ambiance at Laguna's Whole Foods Market at Beach and Ocean Avenue.
Q: Where did the Whole Foods umbrellas, benches furniture and bike-rack go?
A: The City of Laguna Beach told Whole Foods management to remove them.
Whole Foods offers a food court with delicious hot and cold entrees;
Q: Where does a WF lunch patron eat lunch or drink coffee?
A: Why in their car naturally.
You rogue patrons who walked biked bussed or rode the trolley are missing car-culture, c'mon back with a car so you have a place to eat. The LB City decision to remove the furniture is so wrong headed it defies comprehension. You just spent $9 Million on a hot brick Promenade with furniture, but no car parking.
Whole Foods management (Cory, Jon and Jonathan) are aware of the missing furniture and working on replacements, a WF HQRs task team is also aware of the omission and working on solutions.
Here is a quick temporary solution, place these bistro tables in pairs at locations around the parking lot. Given the lack of space currently the tables offer WF patrons a brief rest stop for coffee an conversation.
