Sprouts Farmers Market

Great organic grocery with delicious fruit pies. Less expensive than Whole Paycheck, better selection than Trader Joe’s.

This review is for the fish department. I was in early around 8:30 am on Thurs. 6÷9÷16 and the fish case was empty — looked like a guy was just starting to put the fish out. I told him I wanted 2 nice sized halibut steaks for the grill. He said they had 2 different types of halibut available, both were $ 11.99 even though the tag behind the glass said it was on sale for $ 7.99. He said it was no longer on sale and I could either get it by the piece or by the pound — he added it would be cheaper to order by the pound as they were both the same price. I again stressed I wanted 2 halibut steaks for grilling.
He showed me the ones that were sold by the piece and they were skin on fillets. I said I didn’t want fillets and asked if I could get «steaks» cut from the one that was sold by the pound and not by the piece. At this time a gal joined him behind the counter and said sure they could cut 2 steaks for me.
While they were getting the halibut steaks cut, I wandered around near the fish counter and all of a sudden the guy came up with the halibut already wrapped up and handed it to me. I was surprised that I wasn’t shown the fish before they wrapped it up as is usually the custom. I asked, «These are halibut steaks right?» He replied yes. The package seemed kind of small for steaks, but I took it and didn’t challenge further.
Later that day when I fired up the grill and went to get the halibut, sure enough it was the skin on fillet pieces that he had shown me earlier and they had a strong fish smell. To say the least I was very disappointed for not getting what I requested and to receive fish that had obviously been around for some time.
I don’t normally shop at this Sprouts as I live in Long Beach and usually go to the Lakewood location, but was in the area visiting a friend and stopped in at this location since it was on my way. I’ve always been happy with the fish and service at the Lakewood location, but boy I’ll think twice before stopping at the San Pedro location again.

Very clean store. One of the best markets in San PEDRO. Service workers are always nice and eager to help you. They do have a nice selection of Fruit and Veggie. When I come in Produce Man «ROJELIO» is always kind and helpful. I do my shopping early before the crowed. Big parking lot. Check out their nice meat and bakery dept though small they are good.

Great store but CASHIERS ARE LAZY! It’s always 2 cashiers working maybe 3 and line is huge
And there could be 6 cashiers working. Customers complaining so much!
They see a lot of workers at the store but there is never enough cashiers
They have to improve that, it’s ridiculous to stay in the line every time. That’s why I go to trader Joe and ralphs instead.

Oh, Sprouts. I love you, I really do. You’re my current favorite place to shop. But WHY, oh WHY can’t you make the necessary changes to make this store a five star Unilocal rating kind of store? There’s only a few minor adjustments that need to happen. My experience today was going along just fine. I had all of my groceries, had a cheerful cashier and a short wait. I was happily bagging my own groceries and I was almost finished until a middle aged man of questionable hygiene approached and started to bag my groceries. Ok, fine. No complaints. But, then. But then. To my disgust and chagrin and the disgust of everyone around me, including the cashier, the bagger hacks and coughs some foul, wet sounding disgusting cough all over my groceries and grocery bag. No attempt to turn his head or cover his mouth. Just, yep, all over the food that I am bringing home to my family. All over the food, that wasn’t cheap, mind you, while simultaneously man-​handling all three of the loaves of bread he touched, leaving visible dents in each one. Customer service has always been a bit dodgy here, but never in my life have I left a store and felt the need to wipe down each grocery item, including the reusable tote bag with Clorax bleach wipes. Yuck! Double yuck!
I’m not sure what you all need to do to prevent this from happening again, but do it! Miserable, and unnecessary, FAIL on your part today, Sprouts! Fix it. Fix it!

I could see why people would rate this place with such negative feedback. This busy location is actually great and the workers there are actually competent and friendly if you give them the opportunity; however, I just feel like they are under appreciated as employees there and therefore give customers the cold shoulder or give customer service that is not par with the image of Sprouts farmers market. I highly suggest the management to step up their game and do something about it. Enjoy the five stars, I have faith for this particular Sprouts market.

I’ve been shopping here quite abit. Love the produce, but lately I’ve noticed that the staff and cashiers are very unfriendly. seems like try don’t want to be there. And if you’re ordering a sandwich, make sure they change their gloves. Especially after they touched everything around the store then prepare your food.

Certainly beats Whole Foods. Well, maybe not in quantity, but at least on price! The produce is consistently fresh and there is a nice meat selection as well as prepared foods. They also have a good selection of raw dairy products. The only issue I would say is that sometimes the lines are too long which is the reason I’m not giving a five star review. Besides that, the parking is usually plentiful and the staff seems knowledgeable and helpful.
The store is clean and neatly arranged. I would recommend giving this location a try. The closest competition is probably Trader Joe’s but it seems they’ve secretly raised their prices so I think Sprouts has better quality products.

This is a really nice sprouts location. There’s usually ample parking. The supplement section is well stocked and there always seems to be a very knowledgeable Employee that you can speak with. Kind of hard to find these days. The produce always seems to be very healthy as well. The prices are a little high, so I can’t give the full 5 star review. Besides that I think this is a terrific place to shop!

I’ve purchased vitamins and supplements here several times. The staff has always been knowledgable and super nice. Prices seem a little steep so I’m going with 4 stars instead of 5. Aside from that, I’ll definitely be back for my multivitamin needs in the future. Probably will stay away from sandwich counter though after reading about the burnt panini situation… Yuck!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
It’s lunchtime and my coworkers and I decide to pickup some sandwiches from Sprouts today.
I was pretty shocked to open up the sandwich wrapping to find the most burnt sandwich ever!
All 3 of our paninis were extremely burnt!
The one regular cold turkey sandwich we ordered that my coworker was really looking forward to eating was MISSING THE TURKEY!
So disappointing! It’s Thanksgiving… Boo.
We called the store after and made a complaint to a Manager named Wilmer. He apologized and said he would credit us the sandwiches.
I’m very disappointed in the sandwich counter at Sprouts. They need to be more professional when it comes to preparing food for their customers… Especially on Holidays!
Also another tip they need to be consistent!
We order sandwiches from them often and the amount of meat in them varies greatly.

I was fine with this sprouts, customer service its fine better than redondo beach and PCH but i bought one of those snack boxes they have with trail mix, turkey and cheese. Same day i bought it i was eating it on my break and as im half way thru the trail mix i see a maggot, yes a maggot! I wanted to barf i just threw it away didnt take it back but ive had a stomachache since yesterday. Wont be going for their prepared meals anymore.

I had never been to a Sprouts market before because I assumed it was similar to Whole Foods in that it was super outrageously expensive. But I was here to work an event and was very pleasantly surprised. First of all this store has easy parking in the plaza parking lot. There are very friendly and helpful employees here too. The store itself has great healthy food options and for incredibly reasonable prices. Not only is it not as expensive as Whole Foods, but from what I saw it’s even cheaper than Ralph’s and Trader Joe’s! I can’t wait to visit the one in my neighborhood.

This place is convenient, healthy and not as expensive as Whole Foods. Their meat is better than their seafood, but their produce is always pretty on point.
Also, they have a cheap and bountiful selection of fresh nuts! The frozen section and bakery are lacking but hey! This place is still cool.
Tip: Go on Wednesday for «Double Ad Wednesdays».

I don’t like this store. I have applied here for a job more than once, and one of the times the people that worked there didn’t even want to give me information about the manager. Their attitudes are stuck up and rude. I don’t like that.
If I come here it’s usually just because they have a good price on some things (such as produce). But it really isn’t worth it. they didn’t even have frozen orange juice.

I came in around 10AM today to get 2 items. The price came to $ 2.14 and I paid with a $ 10 and 15 cents. When I got to my car I noticed in my rush that I only had a penny for change. So I go back in to get the $ 8 in change I was DUE originally only to be told I had to wait for the MOD to close out so she could then count the drawer.
Melissa M. was my cashier and her attitude is the worst I have seen in a long while. When I told her that she forgot to give me my change her answer was to literally turn to the MOD and say, «This guy says I didn’t give him $ 8.» Not, «I’m sorry sir let me try to fix the situation immediately» or anything along those lines. She acted like I had punched her dog and stood around sulking.
Long story short, after waiting nearly 5 minutes the drawer was, wait for it, over $ 8 and I FINALLY got my due change. After a sad apology from Melissa, I let her know that I didn’t appreciate her attitude and that she could really use some work on how to deal with the clientele but she just kept interrupting me saying, «I SAID I was sorry» with loads of sarcasm. The MOD said nothing during this exchange and told me to have a good day when I left. OK.
It’s ridiculous that management thinks putting Melissa M. on a register to be the «face» of Sprouts is a good idea and it makes me question their judgment on a whole slew of things. I’ve never been treated this badly by someone who MADE the mistake in the first place!
Keep up the good work Sprouts, really great customer service, you lost one customer and I’ll be letting everyone I know in San Pedro to avoid this place because of the way I was treated today.

Like 80% of my grocery shopping happens here. We try to eat healthier so were so happy this place opened since Whole Food is awesome, but crazy expensive. I do wish they had a better selection and quality of already made salad like how Whole Foods has pastas and salads at a station inside the store.
I love the peanut butter pretzels covered in chocolate in the self serve section.
They have a great selection of produce– yay spaghetti squash!
I have a come a few times when you wait a while to pay, because they just have two cashiers.

I love Sprouts and this is a great location!
Great selection of organic foods, the best deals can be found in the fruit and veggie isle which is the main reason I come here.
Love that they carry brands that you can’t find in most other grocery stores and their storebrand items are great as well.
Grab a coupon book when coming in to save even more.
The meat and bread is excellent quality as well.
Prices can be high on non sale items, but this is feel good grocery shopping at its best and you’re worth it!

Sprouts has been vital to my road to weight loss and healthy eating. I’ve been meal prepping for about seven months now and lost about fifteen pounds. I have visited most of the Sprouts within the South Bay area and I have deemed this location my favorite.
My usual visits are on Sundays and with a non-​existent crowd most of the time, I am in and out. I don’t always plan ahead on what to purchase for my meals for the week but with fresh produce always re-​stocked and a wide variety of healthy products, I end up being inspired. My usual tab for an entire week’s worth of meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner) is no more than $ 20.
All Sprouts have the exact same deals on produce but the difference is having the produce in stock. This location is excellent in providing items on sale for purchase. I rarely come across the problem of having to drive to another location because this one did not carry a sales item or a product in general.
The parking lot is enormous! Finding a spot will not be the problem but the walking distance might be. A walk isn’t much of a harm. There are plenty of carts. They even provide the mini carts, which I love!
The cashiers and employees are always friendly and converse just enough. Majority of my visits consist of employees checking if I would like help searching for anything. I rarely take up the offer but it’s nice to know that I am being noticed and that option is always on the table. Employees are always working and it shows because this location is very clean!
There is a Bank of America right next door and eateries within the same plaza. The Sprouts definitely is a great help getting errands done without travel across town.

Visited this Sprouts location in San Pedro for the first time today. I guess the rush is on to get Thanksgiving groceries because this place was packed at around noon on a weekday.
Crowds aside, this store was nice — all the items were neatly arranged on shelves, the store was clean and inviting, and the produce looked great. Went with a friend who needed some ground sage they sell by the ounce, but the jar out in the store was empty. We found an employee and she went into the back and found a new jar for her. Very helpful employees here.
I purchased the Fuji apples I needed for my stuffing, some organic low sodium chicken stock on sale, and a freshly baked muffin. Was satisfied with my purchases and we devoured the pumpkin muffin in the car on they way back to work.
Will be coming back to this location the next time I need to grocery shop on my lunch break. Hopefully next time it won’t be as crowded.
