Sprouts Farmers Market

This store is great for their reasonably priced items. They also have lots of good lower priced fruits and veggies at that location. They are always stocked to the brim.

This sprouts is great for produce. Their fresh stuff is much better than any other market in this area. Their fruit is decent. As a general rule of thumb, make sure it’s in season before just buying it. Don’t be a rookie. It’s difficult to find parking but it moves fast so be patient. Not generally very crowded but the aisles are small so I would recommend coming on an off time just to avoid to lines.

This is near my house, and I go here twice a week, so I decided to write a positive review.
Best things about this place:
Produce is fresh
Good selection of organic food and products
Good deals on fresh meat and fish
Friendly cashiers, for the most part (I go there enough to know which cashier are good vibes and which ones are bad vibes, and avoid the unpleasant ones)
Good deals on dairy
The 25% off vitamin and body care products sale, which they have every 3 months.
Problematic things:
Parking can be difficult to find during busy hours and Wednesdays (double ad Wed.), but the staff are willing to give carryout service if you park out on the street.
A couple of the employees who work in the vitamin/​health department can be rude sometimes.
Overall, my favorite place to buy produce and organic goods.

They’re stocked, employees are nice, its your typical sprouts. They always have good prices on produce and vitamins. The rest of the stuff can be found cheaper at maybe a vons or trader joes. The only thing i hate about this particular sprouts is the parking. Ive spend 15 min driving around the lot looking for parking. Occasionally I’ve had to drive away and opt for another grocery store because of the parking situation. The location is convenient nd central to everything so they get alot of customers. They should consider expanding their parking lot or some sort of a more efficient system to get people in n out of that place. Their parking lot and small place is the only reason why it brings it down to a 3 stars.

I like this sprouts a lot! We have had great Customer Service! I love there supplement selection! I also love that they are a natural food store open to 11pm. It’s been really helpful since I have a family that depends on organic food and supplements!

Great deals on produce, butthe other items can be a tad overpriced. If you don’t mind that this place is for you. I generally get my meat and veggies shopping done here and then go to another store to grab other essentials that I don’t want yo pay double for. Staff is very friendly and respectful.

I had a Great Experience @ Sprouts Today.
It wasn’t so crowded as usual… which I disliked from my previous experience…
that…and long lines.
Had help @ the vitamin area,
Good energy.
Loved the «Love Everybody» pin the vitamin person was wearing today.
Loved the random lady who approached us with facts about the (Whey protein –Nature’s Way) product she was promoting.
She was a passionate person, had a sense of well-​being, was Kind, Helpful. Healthy
Very Blessed with her presence.
Love this environment& the people!
The front end gave me a refund without my receipt. ^_​~
Loved the whole experience.
Thank you! I’m coming back.
Love!
Love!
Love!

Trader Joes is usually my go to. I think it will continue to be that way. The customer service here is pretty bad. I walked up to a express line seeing I had 3 items. A cashier named Angelique was scanning someone out. Some confusion here as there is a «closed» sign in her lane but she continues to scan this customer out. She subsequently looks directly at me and walks off without a word being said after scanning the customer out. Good morning to you too sunshine. A few minutes after being in the next line over, she walks back to the same lane and says «I can help the next customer.» Workers like her are the reason $ 15 an hour shouldn’t happen. Period. Rude. Short. Bad for your business. It would’ve took her a few seconds to say something like «I’ll be right with you» or confirm if her lane was closed. Nope. Too much work to actually talk to a customer right? The one extra star was for the cashier Socorro who actually was polite and did the job Angelique should’ve.

At 5:15pm on 2/​17, I visited the Sprouts location on Park Ave in San Diego, CA I was in line for over 45 minutes. Great time to train cashiers — during the dinner rush and make the customers suffer! There were 3 registers opened with over 20 people in each line that twisted and turned down several aisles. There no room in the store to even push a cart. Myself and 4 other customers asked several employees to please open up more registers, we were barked and told «people were on break». Finally at 6:05pm I was one customer away from being rang up, to my surprise this customer in front of me was returning all the items in her filled to the top cart.
Another registered opened after another 20 mins of standing behind this lady returning all her items, and instead of the cashier taking me, who was next in line, she waved over the guy at the end of our line. I said «hey!» and the cashier told me «oh well». I called and spoke to a manager who seemed as if he could care less about the issue. He claimed that all registers were opened — I called him FROM INSIDE THE STORE WHILE STILL IN LINE! I told him to get out of his hole and go look at his store! Managers sending employees on break during the rush and only 3 registers open with over 20 customers in each line. The store was a mess, nothing stocked, soup bar filthy and no carts or baskets.

I love this sprouts but the service at the deli is terrible. I’ve repeatedly called to place an order for pick up and then been placed on hold for the deli, only for them to leave me on hold and never pick up. So now I go directly to the deli to place my order, but more often than not they mess up my order and use the wrong bread, wrong cheese, or add a condiment I clearly stated not to add. It’s sloppy customer service and makes it feel like they just don’t care.

Ever had one of those times when after you’ve spent an hour shopping at your go-​to grocery store and when you get home you realize you forgot to purchase two items that were on your list? That happened to me this afternoon; I forgot eggs and linguine. Instead of driving all the way back to Von’s I decided to swing by this Sprouts since it’s about two blocks from where I live. Big mistake, as usual.
I absolutely detest this store. First of all, you put your life in danger by driving into the parking lot. It’s like a scene out of Lord of the Flies. Don’t even bother trying. After wasting three minutes of my life in that lot, I laid my hand on my horn and inched my way out of that madness! TIP: Just look for parking on Park Avenue, because locating a spot in their parking lot is just an exercise in futility.
After entering the store, I’m assaulted by crazy bohemian lady pitching some gluten free bullshit. I don’t want to hear it! I’m so sick to death of everyone’s sudden awareness of their «gluten issues.» Keep it to yourself!
I proceeded to the pasta isle. I wanted plain linguine. Of course, Sprouts is too cool to sale ordinary linguine, and only offer two kinds: quinoa and corn linguine, or enriched durum wheat linguine. FML
After grabbing what appeared to be normal eggs, amid other offerings, I proceeded to checkout which, of course, is another nightmare. Sprouts never has enough clerks to handle the scores of smelly hippies that it attracts.
And speaking of you Sprouts customers that seemingly have no concept of proper etiquette: When a customer is exiting out the door, they have the right of way!
I will never spend another dime at this store.
There. I’m done. And yes, I’m in a bad mood.

Great local farmers market grocery store. Local produce, organic meats, healthy options for you and your family! I highly recommend this specific location. They are always fully stocked and have a great staff! As a chef, I wouldn’t want to go to any other grocery store in the area! Also, great prices and always items on special!

I love the location and they always have great selections of organic fresh fruits and vegetables. Staff are very friendly and help you right away when you have questions.

$ 5.99 and get you the lunch special because it’s really good sandwich .
made to order what you like them was really nice. You’ll have low-​sodium food to little expensive but it’s worth it especially if you can have a lot of sodium in your food the people very helpful very friendly and I highly recommend this toward anybody wants organic food.

Good grocery store for most your needs. They carry healthy products, good quality organic produce and health and beauty products. Came here yesterday for a turkey and was helped by Santos, who diligently helped us pick out the right size turkey for an Xmas dinner. Most of the employees sounded knowledgable about what they had in stock and worked as a team to help me if further research was needed. Good customer service!
This sprouts in smaller relative to other sprouts that I’ve been to, but they’ve done well with the space to keep well stocked and a variety of products. The produce was fresh here and cheaper prices relative to Whole foods. There’s also a small parking lot.
I’ve been here several times, and have they always have what I need in stock, customer service can vary obviously, but they’re usually helpful like they actually care. I’ll be a regular here.

Sprouts logic: bananas and bruise-​able fruits on bottom of bag, coffee, berries in container and lettuce carton on top. EVERY freakin time. This place makes me wish so hard for a self check out! This place is the closest to my house so it’s convenient and they have good product but the staff makes me bonkers.

Parking here during prime-​time (~6pm) I found to be difficult. Parking lot is small and awkward in certain areas. Take the first spot you see or park on the street.
Once you walk into Sprouts it’s all good. I was here today to pick up some fruits and veggies to make Kelageun. I’m a daily shopper so Sprouts is ideal for me when it comes to produce. There selection of produce is above average and they offer most of it in organic as well. After a few minutes, I found what I wanted and was out in a jiffy. All for under 10 bucks. Not bad.
Between this Sprouts and the one in Point Loma, both are do a good job.

Great place for some of the freshest fruits and veggies outside of the weekly farmers market.
Place can get packed but I like to go at night or right before the 5pm rush.
Staff is very helpful and I have never seen anyone scoff of seem bothered by checking on an item.
If the store is reading these, here are a few item suggestions that you should carry:
–Majestic Garlic (garlic sauce)
–A Daily Vegan Soup (i don’t think you have any)
Mushroom barley would be great
–Albers Brand Grits
–replace that olive bar with a salad bar…

They always have the freshest produce in town at the best prices. Their wine selection is great too and compliments their food selection.

Great location with private parking. Staff is super friendly and are always happy to help. Their produce section is huge, clean and well organized. They also have a big organic section. It is pretty hard to go there for one thing only. The last time i was there i came in looking only for salt and pepper and ended up taking $ 80 worth of groceries. I could not resist the specials. They have groceries for all types of diets including, Vegan, Vegetarian or gluten free. They also have a fresh Meat selection and of course a great variety of Wine, and Beer!!!
Sprouts and trader Joes are my favorite two spots to go grocery shopping but sprouts has a better produce, and meat sections.

I love shopping at sprouts! The nonperishables are often more expensive than you would find at one of the larger grocery chains, but if you go there for things such as bulk trail mix or fruit/​vegetables you will not be disappointed! I find that the fruit and vegetables are always so fresh and last for so much longer than if you buy them at one of the larger chain stores. They are also very often cheaper. I love starting a morning picking up a bag of grapes at sprouts. The staff are also very friendly and very helpful! I love coming here!

I buy almost all my produce here. It generally lasts longer than other grocery stores, even if you don’t buy organic. The prices are also very competitive. Check out their new flyers every Wednesday. Bulk nuts, granola, and other items are frequently a steal. There’s free street parking south and east of the store if you can’t find a space in the lot and don’t mind walking.

Why are all the aisles so small? It’s so frustrating, almost no one (not even the really skinny people) can squeeze past each other in an aisle. Heck, if you have a cart you may as well just leave it somewhere near an end cap and run down the lane to grab your stuff.
I love Sprouts, I really do, but this one is just so squished.

I love Sprouts so much and regarding this location, let me be very blunt…
PARKING ABSOLUTELY SUCKS.
It’s so damn tiny
Other than that, if you’re very health conscious, then this store is right for you. It’s almost like Whole Foods nearby except that it doesn’t take up your whole paycheck

If you keep track of their adds, it may give you some good deals. Especially on veggies and fruits.
I like the fact that they have a lot of supplements and vitamins etc.
The bulk foods section is great to see. I just got hooked on their chocolate almonds. It is 8.99 per lbs, but really to die for.
Some shelved stuff is really expensive compared to other stuff, but that’s why you don’t buy all your groceries here. Overall, their associates are friendly, but a bit alternative. However, that’s not a big deal since sprouts isn’t your typical grocery store.

Love shopping here and why?
Service: friendly especially with customer service. Tony was super helpful, smiling and great energy.
Everything is organized and often easy to find. I love the selection of organic food, would be great for more variety.
It’s a great plus when there is always someone in the supplements department, when there is not an available assosixate someone often gets help.
Love the variety of bulk from nuts, grain, dried fruit to spices. One can often save on money and waste, an added bonus.
My wish is the deli department offers more gourmet selection, especially in their salads and sandwiches.
Overall, I shopper two or three times weekly and the best time to go are Wednesday in the morning or late at night to avoid crowds and double savings on their sale items.
Enjoy shopping here…

There are so many things that I love about this store, and so many things that I hate. I think it’s always good to lead with the positive, so here it goes:
I love the weekly produce specials at this store. On any given week you can find a variety of organic produce for as a low as $ 1/​pound. Watch the Wednesday flyers for some great deals! I also love the 25% off sale that they have on personal care items/​vitamins every few months. This allows me to stock up all all of my hippy-​dippy oils, soaps, etc, for less than I can buy them on Amazon. I love that they have bulk bins at this store, a rare find in San Diego. I am also a fan of their sandwiches at the deli. They have a vegetarian sandwich with avocado and Athenos hummus for only $ 3.99!
Now for the hate…
The store, and the parking lot, are way too small for how many people shop here. Both are always crowded. I wish they could take over the Vons on 30^th, or just rip this store down and start from scratch. On the same note, the check stand lines are always insanely long. I think part of it has to do with the software they use, it takes forever for it to processes your info and print your receipt. Perhaps it is time for an upgrade?! Similar to Haggen on University, the clientele here is always… interesting.
As Sprouts is really the only option in the area that can support my hippy-​dippy lifestyle at affordable prices, I will continue to fight through the crowds. I hope someday they decide to take some of the hoards of cash they must be bringing in, and clean the place up a little.

I go back and forth between this Sprouts and another grocery store. I stop here first for produce and protein shakes. I try to keep a diet that is very clean with minimal processed foods and Sprouts helps me achieve that. My boyfriend LOVES spaghetti, but always feels guilty for eating all of the carbs in the noodles. I gave him spaghetti squash instead, and he liked it, but it wasn’t the same. This week I explored a little at Sprouts and found that they had a super grain spaghetti with quinoa. It was packed with protein and after reading the facts, my boyfriend was happy about the decision to switch to the super grain pasta.
I will keep coming back to Sprouts. I’m addicted to stocking my fridge and pantry with healthy foods. I also love to buy the organic popcorn kernels in bulk and pop them on the stove. Everyone in this store is super nice and helpful. They always check to make sure that you are finding everything and offer to help you out with your bags, but they don’t bug you while you shop. I come here every Friday and will continue to do so!

It’s like twice a year we seem to rediscover this place. They are the best for berries (in the right season) and various produce. We have stumbled upon some awesome sales. The quality of the produce seems good, too.
I don’t usually buy anything other than produce and sometimes bulk items (lentils, quinoa, and pecan pieces when they are on sale) and chicken. And sometimes the tiny cuts of cheese.
I like Sprouts. I like the bright, nicely-​laid out produce. It can get busy and crowded, but hey, that’s life.

I like Sprouts for produce. A lot of the time they have stuff for 88c/​lb. I got some Pink Lady apples for that price the other day and was so happy. I love pink ladies!
I usually go in and grab some produce and nuts in the bulk food section.
Customer service is always really friendly and people are more than willing to go the extra mile to help you with anything you need.
This location is pretty small and can get SUPER packed, so hopefully you aren’t claustrophobic. Parking can be tough too, sometimes the lot is so full you have to park on the street.
