Sprouts Farmers Market

I’m normally here to pick up fruit on the way home from school. Everyone is super nice & asks if you need help. I did feel like some of the produce was bare def need to keep putting out items that are on sale. I was looking at red bell peppers today. I will be back.

Sooooooo, so, so much better than the Round Rock location.
Everything on sale was (and almost always is) abundantly in stock.
Some of the fruit was already turning. These were sunsantially marked down. Not purchase worthy though.
Would of gone with a 4 star, but yet again the cashier at this location was equally over it. I bagged my own groceries. I don’t mind, but this guy had no intentions of bagging-​none. Not sure what’s up there.
He also did not handle my groceries with care. 90% or my purchase is always produce.
Odds are I’ll return to this location. Boycotting the RR one.-puff!
Then again Natural Groceries is within the same area as this Sprouts. Their cashier’s have always been super friendly to me.

This grocer/​farmers market has always been a pleasure to shop in; today was no exception. I went in looking for a certain something and Manager Steve, produce manager Adam and Asst Manager Chris all went out of their way to help me and make my day today, which is so appreciated considering I’m toting around my little newborn and it’s difficult and takes forever to get her in and out of stores. This place is SO MUCH BETTER than the huge corporate chains like Whole Paycheck and Central Markup, who delight in putting small local businesses like this out of business regularly and IMO are as evil as stores like Wal Mart for this reason… Sprouts supports local farmers and has competitive pricing as well as this healthy vanilla powder in the back of the store that my family uses as a substitution for sugar. I will be continuing to give them my business and I suggest you do the same and SHOP LOCAL. Support local Austin businesses that support our local farmers!

I can’t believe I have just recently discovered Sprouts. Sprouts offers a great selection of everything a grocer should offer, in both standard and organic varieties. They do not incessantly try to convince you to buy their store labels like other grocers do. I hate to say it, but it’s what Whole Foods used to be like before they became over-​commercialized. I can shop for great quality groceries for an entire week’s meal planning for around $ 30 — where I would be paying up to double at other grocers.
The two greatest things about Sprouts, in my mind, are:
1. Bulk dry section — an entire array of high quality nuts, grains, beans, snacks, etc at whatever quantity or weight you want.
2. Bulk spice section. This seems to be little known and somewhat hidden section in the back next to the tofu products, but a good friend of mine turned me on to this section and now I seem to stop there every time!
The only weakness, as other reviewers have mentioned, is their size and selection. Yes, they do not carry ‘everything’ like an HEB Plus but what they do carry is always high quality, fresh, and available.
Finally, the entire staff, checkout, Deli, Meat, Produce, and floor/​stockers, are always friendly and attentive. Sometimes even funny. I recall one time when they were having a sale on Red Bell Peppers, and I thought the price was extremely inexpensive — like 70 cents each or something. However, an older asian lady walked up to him and complained about how ‘expensive’ the red bell peppers were. After she walked away, I could hear him mutter under his breath, «Yeah, so expensive that I haven’t been able to keep them on the shelves all week». I laughed out loud.

Just a quick update on Sprouts. I’ve been buying more produce here lately and have been impressed with the quality that they always have on hand. The other item I’ve been buy there is their chorizo that they make in-​house. They have the usual pork chorizo, but also beef and chicken. Not as spicy as I like, but it’s got good flavor and I can just go home and embellish it with more spiciness. Friendly people there too. Always very helpful.

I don’t do a whole lot of actual grocery shopping at Sprouts, but I do love going snack shopping here. I used to frequent the one near Westlake before it became a Trader Joe’s. Trader Joe’s is cool, but I loved Sprouts. So, when I happened to be in the same shopping center today to get my nails done, I knew exactly where I was headed next.
Sprouts makes one of my favorite snacks — spicy veggie fries. So everybody knows veggie chips, right? Love ‘em. Sprouts also makes veggie fries, which are chips that look like fries. I love those, too, and Sprouts kicks it up a notch by making a spicy version. Y’all know I’m all about that spicy life. I love those things and haven’t had them in years, so I was super excited to pick some up today. I didn’t find the exact kind I was looking for, but I think Sprouts rebranded them, so I’m pretty sure what I picked up is the same thing. If not, then maybe I found my new snack love.
I also picked up some other things, like Horizon cheese crackers, Sprouts movie theater popcorn, crazy hot Pop chips, animal crackers, soup, and tea. My favorite purchase, though, was the cherry lime Izze. Did you know Izze makes a cherry lime flavor? I didn’t, either! Since cherry lime is my all time favorite flavor, I had to get some. It’s every bit as delicious as I expected it would be.
Most everything I purchased was on sale, which is always awesome. Sprouts isn’t the cheapest, but I usually don’t care because the ingredients are a little more wholesome and a little less questionable, so I’m fine with paying more.
Sprouts usually has awesome sales on produce, so I need to start visiting more to take advantage of that. The checkout lines weren’t bad when I went, but I could definitely see how they could get backed up. Like I said, Sprouts won’t replace H-​E-​B for me, but I do love visiting and dropping some dollars on tasty snack foods or whatever catches my eye. I’m always finding something delicious in here and that alone is worth the visit.

Since it is a smaller than a typical supermarket, my only problem with the chain is a typical one, simply the inability to one-​stop shop like you can at the larger chain grocery stores and still get decent prices for all of the items you need to get on a weekly basis. Having said that … the focus on fresh foods and produce along with the selections of healthy foods and supplements make this market a must stop at least a couple times a month for us if not more often.
We still make the weekly trips to the larger places for the «deals» but also recognize the consistent step-​up in quality of the products at this store.
Parking can be a pain, but heh it’s Austin, otherwise … your kale awaits!

Found this place recently and can only say one word: WOW
After my horrible visit at another place, to my amazement Sprouts was just across the street, kinda hidden. The people here are amazing and very friendly. Its sad when a business grows to busy to care what its customers want, like the last place I was at.

Great alternative to whole-​paycheck aka whole foods. The fruit and vegetables are always fresh. Lots of vitamins and health products available too.

We really only go to sprouts for the Gyro meat (lamb). It’s the only place in Austin we can find it! And it’s tasty. $ 9/​lb.

I am almost always annoyed by the long waiting time to check out here. I have gone in at lunch time and a few minutes before they close on weekdays. No difference. The «express» line is a total joke. It’s to the point that I almost always avoid shopping here. It’s a nice concept, but it doesn’t stand out enough to convince me to wait in line roughly twice as long as Whole Foods or HEB.

Better prices than Whole Foods. Easy to do a quick shop. Way, way, way better quality than HEB. Out here in the practical suburbs, the grocery store options are limited. I wish we had more co-​ops or a Central Market, but this is better than stooping to HEB lows. Deli counter staff could use improvement. Quality and prices in the meat department are great. I was buying swordfish at Whole Foods for $ 20+ per pound. Under $ 7 per pound at Sprouts with no discernible difference. The people working the meat counter were friendly and helpful.
There are many «non-​natural» staples that I still need to make a separate trip to buy from other stores, but for weekly meat and produce, this place rocks.

Awesome place!
I’m really into eating healthy and discovered Sprouts when I moved to Austin last year and I’m so happy I did :)
I shop here weekly and love all the fresh produce and fruit selections. It’s super easy to navigate the aisles (I’m typically in and out within 20 minutes) and the cashiers are always lovely and they accept Apple Pay.

I really like the layout of the store, minimal shelves and way more produce and bulk items. i also really like their prepared foods! try em out! they taste as good as they smell :)

I came here to get a couple of items for my wife. The one thing that stood out through my whole shopping experience was the service. I even had a helpful customer! I like to go into a supermarket get ask someone where to find it get it and B lin e to register and get out of there. No browsing for me.
As soon I walked in I asked a worker that was packing a shelf where to find honey. He stopped what he was doing and walked me all the way to other end of store and helped me find that item. He also helped me fnd my next item until he was needed at the register. However, I was given a warm hand off to someone else who helped me. I was able to get in out in satisfactory time. The store was also very clean and well organized.

I used to love this place. Great alternative to WholeFoods or the Co-​op when I can’t make Wheatsville. I shopped there many times but recently while buying an item (Vegan protein) I noticed they were priced higher $ 69.00 vs $ 59.00 at the Co-​op.
In my basket I had multiple items totaling over $ 120 but I asked the lady in the health department if they’d match the $ 10 difference. She said «no» but could get a manager, I said ok and so she «went to get a manager» a few minutes passed yet the manager never came out to even acknowledge my question. The health department lady came back and simply re-​stated «we don’t match» prices.
Not only did they lose a $ 120+ sale over $ 10 they also lost my future business.
There are too many other stores wanting my business, offering the same great products and offering amazing customer service.

We give this neighborhood grocery FIVE
stars for existing in the middle of the suburban cement jungle. The store is full fresh bright and super friendly staff day and night.

Love the prices. Love the people. Love the natural and organic options most!
Sprouts and Fresh Plus on the same scale for me as far as items go. I appreciate the employees at Srpouts and never walk out of there complaining about service. They are friendly, helpful, and informative/​knowledgeable.
If Im cooking for other people, I prefer buying conventional produce here for 3 reasons.
1. It looks better than HEB.always.
2. It is less expensive here than HEB
3. They have it. never been out of anything, organic or conventional that Ive needed.
All of those are pluses! For sure.
They just redid the store, I think I took some pics on my last visit. It looks great. They have added quite a bit, including coffee to go… yaaay! And a Boars Head Deli Counter. Less wine (which was surprising) but more produce (larger variety) more healthy items, organic items Iv’e noticed. I appreciate that. Their sales are great, they run from Wednesday to Wednesday with double ads on Wednesday (best day to shop).
I like the store. Its nicer, cleaner, and they have used their space more efficiently. They now have more selections and the store itself is spacious.
Im a regular shopper… especially when I need something in the AM before NG opens. Sprouts opens at 7am!

I used to be a Sprouts fan. But recently, produce, dairy, shelf goods & prices have not WOO’d me back for a while. Went again this weekend & reconfirmed that there are better options out there.
What is good:
1) Sale prices on products can sometimes be really good (& look/​taste yummy too)
2) Bulk bins — great for almonds when they’re on sale; orrrrr rainbow variety of gummy bears or chocolate covered raisins or sesame sticks or granola. I think you can tell what my favorite section is.
3) Generally friendly service :)
The bad:
1) Sometimes the sales items look like they have issues (over-​ripe, have weird spots on them, small)
2) Some staples are ridiculously prices & never on sale. (ex. dairy items, bread)
Come if you want but you won’t be missing out on TOO much if you don’t

Whole foods on a budget! That’s what this place in.
Key tip, if you live in their neighbourhood, you will get a mailer with all the specials and do look at them closely because they are real savings there. Else, you can always check it online
I shop here every weekend and walk out with 5 pound of veggies & fruits, greens, all organic plus a couple of pounds of whatever fish they have in sale for about $ 40 – 45, for a single guy, thats enough food for week which involves a few days of eating out. You can also get non-​perishables on sale at great prices. 4 kind bars for $ 5 at 1.25 a piece, I buy 3 boxes. Also, the prices on vitamins when they are on sale are comparable to Amazon.
As I like to eat very high quality food for cheap, I supplement my spouts shopping with bulks from Costco — eggs, almond milk, real peanut butter etc.
One thing that is certainly not cheap here is other kitchen essentials, like toilet paper etc. Those you are better off by getting at you HEB
