Sprouts Farmers Market

many times i go in just for thier hot coffee. for a buck and its quality brew. yesterday there was non and i see three cashiers doing nothing, friendly, i ask u guys know how to make coffee, as there is non and im here for it. oh its the bulk dept and the guy left suddenly.
ok, but the sales pay the bills here, why does it become a obsticle to get service here.
i look in kitchen see all the equipment again and its not even in the program there. not going to be used anymore today.
came to the wrong place to see this place engineered to do nothing. wtf
i like to buy thier brewed coffee and more then 50% of the time its out .
other stores dont label the flavor or even sell it just sample.
get it together even if staff doesnt drink it

This is a pretty great store ! Nice and small but had everything I needed. One of the cashiers with a light blue shirt not sure if his name was Jesse or Jesus… But he walked me over to all of my Items and recommended better deals and showed me all the calories to help me meet my diet and recipe ! Most health stores have items but don’t have many people with the right idea on calories and carbs, healthy eaters for the win ! Love Sprouts!

I went into sprouts a few days ago to buy some groceries for a BBQ I was having and the cashier Jesus was very rude. He judged me by the stuff I was ordering and had the audacity to snap his fingers right in front of my face. I was furious when he did that and since I can’t fight him I can at least report him on Unilocal and hopefully the management sees this review and takes the necessary disciplinary actions for this type of customer service

These 5 stars are for the amazing customers and employees for being so honest when l left my wallet there earlier today. They were even smart enough to call Target and tell them my card was found so that I would get a call to alert me that my wallet was lost. I’ve been having a really awful day and I cannot say enough how thankful I am for their honesty and quick-​thinking.

I was here today and I was helped by a guy named Imani. He saw me walk in and asked if I was looking for anything, I told him I saw the Essentia waters on sale last week and was wondering if there were any left. He told me the sale ended but dropped everything he was doing to go ask a manager if they would still honor the sale price. I couldn’t believe how nice all helpful all the employees were over water bottles.

Great prices and happy/​funny employees. Always well stocked with a very wide selection. Love the hot soup and individual muffins.

Went here today to get some veggies and once again super disappointed! Staff is super rude. Cashier needs to take a class on how to smile and be nice. She had a rude look in her face the entire time of the transaction and then proceeded to ask if I had a code for the gummy worms I was getting for my kids. My daughter was in a super cranky mood and I needed to do everything super fast so I could get out of there, sorry I didn’t write the «code down». I don’t know the code for kale or apples either, that’s HER job! Anyways not coming back after today! Ps her name was ginger cashier #is 208

I come here almost every day after work. The food is always fresh and everyone that works here is SO friendly and helpful. This grocery store makes shopping for dinner a really enjoyable and relaxing experience.

Love Sprouts… and this one did not disappoint. It’s a bit smaller than the other one I frequent but it does the job. Their produce is always very clean and a good mix of basic and organic. I bought Jonagold apples– which you can’t find everywhere-​and also McIntosh apples. Together, they made a lovely homemade applesauce.
A new discovery was their organic sour cream– this had a very fresh and slightly sweet cheesey taste that I enjoyed atop sweet potato pancakes. I’ll be back for this stuff for sure.
Their eggs were such a reasonable price that I bought two dozen. I also bought some organic, low sodium chicken stock at a great price too.
I especially like that this Sprout’s never feels crowded. I dint get stressed out shopping here (like I do at TJ’s). Parking is easy here and non-​competitive.
Thanks Sprouts!

I usually visit the other store in Costa Mesa, but I like the layout of this store. Sprouts has a good variety of items and good sales.
Be sure to enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win a gift card. Instructions on the receipt.

Get some better employees or new management, went there to buy a organic turkey ended up getting more than just that, walked through almost every section of the store every employee was so Zombie like, no expression no hi how are you or can i help with anything. I finally flagged a butcher down and asked if he had and more organic turkey in the the back, took him a minute to respond and acted like i took him away from doing something else. I ultimately blame management for this type of conduct from their employees, i will go out of my way to go elsewhere like whole foods where the customers are appreciated and greeted.

My favorite place to shop!
I love the produce and the assortment that you can find in a small space. Some of my go to items are:
Heirloom Tomatoes
Dreaming Tree Wine
Strouds Family Ice Cream
Awesome Sprouts Potato Chip
Good Foods Dips in the Produce Section
Sprouts Hand — Stretched Vegan Naan Bread
Champagne
Free Range Eggs
… and grabbing new surprises that I find every-​time I go.
Its easy to go in for a quick and happy shopping experience… Enjoy!

So today I enjoyed a really good turkey sandwich from the deli. Awesome service and an awesome sandwich, I can’t wait to go back and try something else. I also picked up some vitamins, a bottle of water and some freshly squeezed orange juice. I’m not sure why I have to share all the details of my visit with you but I did. On a serious note the deli was packed, like 15 to 20 sandwiches ahead of me and the guys making the sandwiches kept it together and delivered both good service and a great product.

Pro tip: this place is perfect if you are looking for below average service at the deli counter and a truly terrible sandwich.

This is the worst Costner service ever in my life time.
With a cashier, s permission, I signed a $ 100 travelers check.
The store manager, James, refused
1, accept the travelers check.
2, call the company’s head quarter.
3, give me the phone number of the head quarter, and said,“just go on line to find out the number.
The travelers check is written to Sprouts and counter signed in front of the cashier.
For the reason, I cannot use the check anywhere else.
I lost $ 100 for the mistake the cashier made, and the manager, James did nothing. He wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible. He also said to me, «There is nothing I can do. I will walk away.» And he did.
He just dose not care about the costumer at all.
I WILL NEVER go back the store again.

SWITCHING TO WHOLE FOODS AND TRADER JOES.
Sprouts produce prices are reasonable. Their customer service at check stands is pretty good. But this store management is completely unaccountable and frankly atrocious. They don’t return phone calls or messages. They don’t give a damn, but pretend like they are a nice family owned business. Not true. James, the Store Manager, is too important to worry about customers who spend more than $ 1000/​month in his store. Although I patronized the place for years; I might as well be dealing with a corporate conglomerate considering their rude, arrogant attitude.

I decided to go to this store since its closer to my home. I had high expectations for this store b/​c of location.. Fruit quality was not the best, I went to buy peaches, pineapple, bananas, strawberries etc… Most of the fruit was in bad shape. Ready tone thrown. Not edible. As for customer service it was ok. Staff is not as friendly and helpful except cashier. I will return to Sprouts on harbor Blvd. staff there is very friendly and helpful. Fruit and veggies are so much better quality.

This sprouts SUCKS! The fresh seafood from the counter always smells fishy even after washing and cooking, the produce rots away in front of your eyes, the store is packed and really badly laid out. Steer clear from this shop and go to Grower’s direct for produce or suck it up and go to the Harbor Blvd Sprouts (a day and night difference in terms of quality).

You can get fresher produce at a farmers’ market.
You can get better packaged goods at Trader Joe’s.
You can get a better vitamin and specialty/​health food selection at Mother’s.
You’ll get much better beer and wine choices at Hi-​Time.
But…where will you get a good assortment of all of the above? Right here at Sprouts, that’s where.
If you want just one store for all of your grocery needs, it’s hard to beat Sprouts.
Tip: the weekly sales overlap on Wednesdays, so that’s the best day to shop.
Tip: if you shop after a workout and you didn’t get a chance to shower afterwards, you may hear snide remarks from the staff. Sorry, guys, but you’re very conveniently located near Krav Maga. Why don’t you just pretend you work for Trader Joe’s and compliment my choice of Daiya non-​dairy cheese or ask me if I have weekend plans?
Am I being too sensitive?

If I were a wealthier woman, I would drive my fully loaded 2014 Range Rover over to Fashion Island and saunter around the Whole Foods in my Lulu Lemon/​Lorna Jane workout apparel in the late morning or mid afternoon (obviously I wouldn’t personally be working) and load up my cart with 3.99 organic apples, 29.99 wild caught salmon, and more artisan cheese than you could imagine. And on the way out I’d buy a 12 dollar salad and 7 dollar juice.
However, since I live in reality, I shop at Sprouts and am OBSESSED! Sprouts is a health conscious poor woman’s Whole Foods and I am so glad I have one across the street from my house. Although selection can feel a little limited at times, in general they have everything you need to eat healthy or have gluten free issues etc. And lots of natural cleaning products as well, all for reasonable prices.
Importantly, the sales are great. And on Double Add Wednesdays you get all the specials from the week before and for the upcoming week! Decent selection of organic food and there are ALWAYS sales.
The fish section is great. It’s a little limited but again, the sales and quality are fabulous. Fresh wild caught Pacific salmon for 9.99? Fresh wild caught tuna for 7.99? Fresh wild caught Mahi Mahi for 3.99? Yes please! I stock up during the fish sales and have them wrap several pounds separately, packing my freezer for an easy defrost and quick weekday meal.
Good selection of organic dairy and organic frozen foods too. Organic spices, fancy waters, the whole health-​food nine yards, really.
There is a whole little side store dedicated to alcohol and vitamins (I know, interesting mix) and if you wait for the 25% off sales you won’t be disappointed.
Bulk section is well stocked and lots of great flavored and non-​flavored organic coffee (again, sales can’t be beat). I like the Sprouts label organic baked goods as well. So yummy.
Open from 7 – 10 for the working woman! So I can go before OR after work and my 7:30 workout. Bam!
In sum, Sprouts is amazing and I don’t know how I would live my organic-​health-​food-​loving-​budget-​conscious-​working-​woman life without it!
