Sprouts Farmers Market

There is a lot of variety at this Sprouts store and the displays are always fresh and pleasing to the eye. This makes for an excellent shopping experience. I always seem to find something new to try and am rarely disappointed. For example, the pre-​made salads here at Spouts are incredibly tasty! The employees at this location are friendly and the store is always neat and clean.

This store is extremely well organized. There never seems to be anything out of place. The produce is so incredibly fresh and tasty. The manager I talked to was very nice and helpful and taught me the best ways to pick different types of produce. All of the other employees I encountered were very nice as well! Great place to buy the freshest foods.

I have mentioned multiple times to employees they stock expired foods, they are helpful but nothing has changed. It is obviously a strategy on the managers part to cut losses by pushing old food on unsuspecting customers. CHECK EXP DATES! Especially on freezer & dairy items.

Too good. I initially was shopping there just for my favorite pickles from Don Hermann. I was then going to Whole Foods for the remainder of my list. But, instead was able to buy all my grocery items, including have the meat dept. cut up lamb roast and easily get help finding produce items such as escarole and kale burgers. This will be my go to store. A very enjoyable grocery shopping experience, which is seldom heard. Thanks for reading. The Bike Chaplain

Product availability-​good, Store was clean. Customer service HORRIBLE. The cashier was very rude. No greeting, tone and body language very disrespectful. Carried on a personal conversation with another store employee throughout my transaction. Likelihood of returning to this location-​none.

they have the worst, practically non existent customer service. Crowded Sat. a. m, clerk & bagger standing chatting with customer about personal things after his stuff was packed while line growing. I said, could you move it along up there? and they laughed at me & kept on talking. i left my stuff in the cart & walked out. Also, have to watch carefully not to get expired products & watch your register tape because they overcharge. One time i asked a clerk to wipe up a big wet spot on the belt before i put my stuff on it, & she said why, it’s only water, & i said i don’t care what it is, i don’t want it on my food, & went & got a manager to make her do it. i guess they do a big enough business that they wont mind losing 1 customer for keeps, namely me.

What I don’t like about this particular Sprouts is they often have expired or just about to expire items on the shelf. You have to be very careful, you can’t relax and trust them you have to check every single label.
Once we bought frozen pizzas and just happened to notice the «best by» date was 2 months prior.
Another time the yogurt I wanted to buy was expiring the next day so I just skipped it. I came back 3 days later. It was the same yogurt now 2 days past it’s date.
I often buy packaged fresh items (pico de gallo etc) quite often this stuff will be a week old or past it’s best buy date.
It really makes me distrust this stores management. Like how old is the deli meat, the fish, the sushi, the items without labels. Just gross.

I love Sprouts. It reminds me a lot of Whole Foods, but without the prepared food quite as much. But Sprouts has some of the best produce in the city. They also have tons of bulk foods like flours, grains, spices, etc. They have a nice selection of wines and beers, as well as breads, cheese and such. But the real star here for me is the produce. And if you are looking for organic produce, this is definitely the spot. Not the cheapest place in town, but the quality makes it worth it.

I love this location! The customer service is great, The products are fantastic, they’re very rarely out of what I’m looking for and when they are they write me a raincheck. My favorite part of the whole place is the meat counter. I used to live near a different Sprouts and their sausage was bland and tasteless. The guys here make it so much better. My favorite is the chicken spinach feta sausage, followed closely by the pork green chile. Also, love their pistachio muffins!

Sans the tight parking lot I luv coming here! Always the best produce selection in Alb in my humble opinion

Better when it was Sunflower! They stopped carrying a lot of my favorite gluten free foods. The prices went up on a lot of things too. Gluten free is expensive in the first place, and 50 cents to 1 $ jump on each item is almost painful — but the veggies and cheese are high quality. Service is always good though — prompt and courteous.

I really like the quality of food, ease of finding items and the service I get each time I visit.

lots of gluten free stuff…
pricey but good selection…
decent beer selection…
parking blows, not enough parking (near bank and dollar store)

First, a bit of a rant. I do not like Sprouts nearly as much as I liked Sunflower. Since Sprouts took over, the prices for private label items have gone up, a lot of great items have been eliminated from the store entirely, weekly sales are a bit sketchy and deceptive, and the overall environment does not feel quite as friendly or positive anymore.
Biggest pet peeves:
* Private label items — Sprouts got rid of a bunch of items my wife and I bought constantly, including jalapeño cheese bread, the Sunflower brand of lip balm, and other goodies you couldn’t get elsewhere. The products they didn’t eliminate got rebranded as Sprouts, often with a drop in quantity/​quality and a raise in prices. Bummer.
* Deceptive sales — Sunflower used to do very straightforward weekly sales, which would overlap on Wednesdays for «Double Ads Day.» They still have Double Ads Day, but now Sprouts slips in all sorts of fine print. Some items are only on sale on certain days, and don’t quality for Double Ads Day. Also, a number of items that are «on sale» are not really. Sprouts dramatically raised the everyday prices Sunflower had, and now offers temporary cuts back to the old prices and calls that a «sale.» I’ve even caught them claiming something was on sale when it’s the same price they always offer; all they did was change the color of the sign on the display. Very shady.
That said, I’ll let go of the past for a moment and focus on the present. Sprouts is good for some things, and bad for others. For example:
* Produce — GOOD. Most fruits and veggies are a killer deal here, even when not on sale. The quality of produce is top-​notch, whether you buy the organic varieties or not. Occasionally you will run across an item that is ridiculously overpriced and for no good reason (e.g. small packs of blueberries for $ 3.99, when you can get double that quantity for the same price or lower at any Super Target). Stay sharp for those, and be aware of what the prices should be; in general Sprouts has great prices on these products.
* Body Care Products — BAD. In the Sunflower days (oops, I’m slipping into the past again), many products like Avalon Organics would be comparable to Whole Foods, or $ 1 or $ 2 cheaper. Now, Sprouts sells these same products for as much as $ 3 or $ 4 more than Whole Foods. Ouch! Whole Foods is expensive enough, but to set regular prices that are even higher than that is just lunacy.
* Bakery Items — BAD. As I mentioned, Sprouts eliminated some of the best private label products, including bread. Most of the baked goods here are incredibly overpriced. You could get the same products much cheaper elsewhere, or you could spend a comparable amount at a weekend farmer’s market and get something that’s local and fresh.
My honest opinion? Shop here for quality fruits and vegetables, and skip everything else unless you want to get ripped off. And if you were a big fan of Sunflower like I was, you’ll have to admit that the glory days are gone, and you’ve just gotta move on.

I have recently discovered Sprouts Farmers Markets in Phoenix, Las Vegas and in Albuquerque and I really do like their prices and quality. My only complaint, and it’s slightly trivial in that I wish there were more cold beverages choices to buy. Sometimes, when you are popping in to grab something for lunch, it is nice to have a choice besides water and kombucha.

Always love going to Sprouts, this location and the Lomas location. The meat is the best price/​quality mix you can get in town. Great deals too if you look around.

Always loved Sunflower but now that its 100% converted to Sprouts it’s even better, at least in my opinion. The shopping experience is far more pleasant as the store is less crowded with displays, better lite and much cleaner. Organic and Natural foods are their specialty and their produce is one of the best in town next to probably Whole Foods. If you haven’t given them a try I’d say its worth taking the plunge here.

This sprouts used to be a sunflower market. Since the change I have not noticed much of a difference except for some of the dry goods are sprouts instead of sunflower.
Sprouts is my favorite place for produce. The selection is great and they have the best prices in town. The quality of the produce is also high. The deli has lots of high quality cheeses and cold cuts. The meat department is okay but not outstanding. The seafood is usually good but is limited mainly to fish and shrimp.
The dry goods are limited and not as well priced as the fresh stuff. They also have a small alcohol selection with a decent selection of beer and wine but no hard liquor. I can almost get all of my weekly shopping here except for some specialty dry goods.

I used to love this place, but now I’m a bit skeptical after semen was found in a sample of Greek Yogurt. The offending employee was arrested, but it make me question their hiring criteria. I’m not sure which Sunflower Market this happened at, but I’ll be more weary at all of them.

On the brighter side, they have an amazing bulk food section for raw nuts.

This place is way better then a whole foods becuase the products are more diverse, and the veggies are simply better priced. Sometimes even better then places like smiths, ehkkk. Sorry i had to make mention…
The vitamins section is crazy, the beer selection is off the hizzook, and the clientel is pretty sexy. Im not kidding. Someone said theres a gym across the street or something and dang do you see some not so hard on the eyes shoppers: P. Thats never been a factor in my gorcery outlet but it doesnt hurt.
Lots of interesting products that i would otherwise have not seen or tried here, and maybe most helpful of all COUPONS. Yeah they use them and so should you, an extra $ 20 per strip can really stack over time…
