Sprouts Farmers Market

They are a terrible place to buy organic. They are not consistent and don’t carry much organic meat, basically no organic red meat. They try to pass another brand with a green lable and placed it where they used to have organic meat. Tricky! Their organic fruits are the worst. Oranges are usually dry or old as are some of their other fruits. Many of their employees are not helpful and disappear when they say they are going to look for something like when I was looking for a particular brand of milk. I think they have a horrible manager, if you complain they try to buy you out by offering you some coupon that you need to collect from the manager. Several times I went to collect the coupon the manger wasn’t there. Here is a picture of an apple i bought yesterday which is why i finally decided to post something. Honesty the only reason I shop here is because i live in the neighborhood but I am going back and shopping at Trader Joe’s where people are nice and they are more consistent with what is available.

Generally sprouts is one of my fav markets. But the employees at this location are definitely subpar and can be downright unpleasant. The produce costs are slightly less than Ralphs, but probably not enough to warrant coming back after my last encounter attempting to make a return and dealing with Kim, a very rude manager. Maybe I got her at the wrong time, but no excuse. And the parking lot is small and difficult to park in. I won’t be coming back to this one.

The food here is very expensive but you get what you pay for. My friends lives within walking distance of this market so we come here occasionally but the cost usually too high for normal college students. They have a very good selection of nuts, but the meat and fish do not look fresh. I come here only when I do not have access to a car and I just need to get some groceries nearby.

The best. I am in love with a grocery store nobody tell my wife.
The turkey carnitas are amazing and only 6.49lb!
Staff are friendly and the store is all clean and new and fresh.

I have shopped at Sprouts Market for over three years. I like their groceries.
However, when I had a serious accident due to product defect. Their answer was to hire a
mouthpiece, Jen Doud, of an outside company Corvel Corporation, to relate we will do nothing for your injury, even if it was our negligence, it is not our problem. I broke my tooth
on a chocolate covered so called nut, that was actually a hard shell. I lost a tooth, had to have
an implant and my costs now exceed over $ 3000. They said that they can’t be responsible for faulty products on their shelves or what happens to anyone in their store. They care nothing
about customers, just the money.

Went there for grocery shopping and decided to get a sandwich. Here is what I ordered classic white bread, with turkey and ham, provolone, lettuce, tomato, red onion and avocado. They charge me for a ham sandwich but there’s no ham or turkey in my sandwich. All I see is two slices of bacon… Whoever made my sandwich needs to pay more attention. Why did you print a ham sandwich label on a fxxxx bacon sandwich and wrap my order slip into it? Thank you for ruining my lunch. Now I have to starve!

I didn’t know what to expect of Sprouts. Nothing could have prepared me for the rude people shopping there, aggressive parking lot or excessively long checkout lines. I will admit the prices are incredible. Some items were almost half the price of what you would find at Whole Foods, but at what cost to your shopping experience?
They have a good selection of produce, including organic. They have a huge selection of supplements and they have the smaller grocery carts, which I love. But the store was so packed at 3pm on a weekday, that it was impossible to navigate without bumping into someone, literally.
They do not have a great selection of things like conventional toothpaste or shaving cream. They offer mostly natural items, which is great, but sometimes I want the stronger, chemical filled brand — especially for a cleaning product.
The checkout line was painful, but the woman who checked me out appreciated the comedy of the situation and was very friendly. The parking lot was a nightmare, with no spots, difficulty getting in and out and nasty drivers.
I don’t know if I would brave this store again, even if it means spending a few dollars more elsewhere.

It would be five stars if the store were bigger like some of its sisters. I really appreciate the bike parking up front. Plus, since this is a review of a grocery store, I like the great variety of frozen burritos.

I’ve been coming to Sprouts for about 3 years now.
Pros:
Great prices, great produce, great selection. Great sales!
Also, Alex the Head Cashier is so helpful all the time, and always makes me feel at home (which is rare for LA!)
Cons:
Parking – if you come anytime on a weekday between 5 – 8, just save yourself a headache and park underground. TRUST.

This is for the bloody raw roasted chicken and the bitter cashiers complaining about the company and hours being cut infront of customers. Gross. Common Sprouts… geeze.

This was my first time going to any Sprouts locations. The customer service is more than I expected. The store is very clean and organized. I had to call ahead to make sure they carried coconut aminos and the gentleman on the phone was very knowledgeable and didn’t have to put me on hold to answer my question.
I have many different food allergies and they had some items that I couldn’t find at the local Whole Foods.
They didn’t have canned pineapples so I took a star away for that, otherwise they deserve 5 stars for everything else.
Oh, and parking is very convenient too! They have underground parking as well as a regular parking lot in front of the store.
I will be making many more trips to this place!

Pretty good. Pretty, pretty. pretty good. They have a nice mix of stuff you’ll find at Whole Foods and stuff you’ll find at Ralph’s. It’s kind of in-​between those two. The store is large, organized and clean. The parking is an utter disaster if you don’t know they have an underground lot you can access off of Westwood Blvd. Do not try parking up top unless it’s late at night. Between this place and the Trader Joe’s near Olympic and Bundy, a lot of my grocery shopping damage gets DONE!

This store is legit. They have a decent amount of organic produce at decent prices (better than Ralph’s, Vons etc). They are way better stocked than the Culver City Store (I come here due to this fact, even though I live closer to Culver City). It’s true the Parking lot up top is a mess. I try to park on the street or in the subterranean lot.
I just want to correct something about «the people» at this Sprouts. Look, some of the customers are self-​important non-​parking lot versed individuals. In fact, I don’t care for most of the other customers, to be honest. Almost every employee at this store has been cool to work with. They are helpful and if you don’t come off like these foolish customers I just mentioned, they hold conversations and want to interact (yes, especially the cashiers).

I was expecting to be WOW’d by Sprouts since tons of people have been comparing it to the likes of Whole Foods or Ralph’s…but I can’t say it’s very out of the ordinary.
My boyfriend wanted raw milk (shrugs…he’s a weird Eastern European who wanted to relive his childhood diet). He begged me to take him to Sprouts because this was the only store that sells it.
We bought raw milk, chameleon cold brew coffee, exotic cheeses, artisan breads and various other goods. They were all good, just not great.
My bf and I both laughed at the fact the raw milk advertised itself as grass fed by saying «our cows are grazing all the time.» That’s laughable. Ok, that’s more of a marketing problem not Sprouts.
Overall, nothing is inherently wrong with sprouts, it just didn’t make us want to go back.

Does anyone have the lowdown on who Sprouts’ red pepper vendor is? No joke – as a lover of all thing sweet red bell pepper related, I am blown away that Sprouts always has the biggest, sweetest and CHEAPEST ones within a 50 mile radius, and that INCLUDES my favorite mexican grocery chains like Superior. (That reminds me, I think we’re long overdue for a nice batch of stuffed red peppers at the house – YUM :)
Everything else about this Sprouts is incredibly pleasant. Obviously, the parking sucks and there are too few cashiers at peak hours but other than that, it’s a great little grocery store. You can usually score really nice deals in the bulk section if you pay attention to the weekly ads and I buy my cashews here, along with bags of farina for my cream-​of-​wheat obsessed husband.
I really wish they had a better herb selection here like the Ralphs on Bundy does. There, I can score huge bunches of juicy, fresh dill and mint and terragon for pennies whereas here it’s the pre-​boxed variety for a few bucks a pop which is disappointing. But other than that, Sprouts manages to cram a lot of fairly decent produce into a space that’s smaller than your average Trader Joe’s, and that’s counting the several aisles of bulk dry goods which TJs doesn’t have.
I shop here at least once a week and I’ve yet to be disappointed.

Love this place much more than the other local stores in Westwood/​West LA. This location is right off Westwood Blvd and the parking lot is very, very small. Be sure to come during off-​peak hours because of this.
Sprouts is always on top of it when it comes to fresh and local produce. I love that there is a variety of unique options available at very affordable rates. My favorite section is the dry snacks «buffet,» where I can pick up anything from chocolate-​covered pretzels to raisins at my own pro-​rated weight.
They also have a lot of organic options, which I’m all for. When it comes to getting groceries that don’t need to be brand-​named, I will always shop here.

Just opened a bag of 5 dollar pumpkin seeds. After eating a few, I thought I would pour them out on a baking sheet to roast them more. There were live MAGGOTS in the bag.
Literally I am throwing up in my mouth and gagging and so disturbed.
PS I just called the store and asked to speak to a manager before posting this review. Waited on hold for 10 mins… Sorry to do this sprouts but this is insane and I am so grossed out.
Side note — yes the bag I purchased were raw pumpkin seeds, thought they were roasted but didn’t read the label. Will never make that mistake again. Actually no. Don’t think I can eat pumpkin seeds for a very long time.

The most horrible customer service I’ve ever encountered. Unopened items. Picked up just a few days ago. I asked for a store credit since receipt was thrown out. Manager said return can only be done with a receipt. Understand you need receipt for return credit. But I’d be happy with a store credit. He only repeated that need a receipt for return. Duh. Is he a robot or what? Oh and he even ‘questioned’ that I could have purchased elsewhere. That’s how you treat a customer who spends hundreds every week at your store?
Certainly not the Costco no questions asked return policy. Guess I should being my business elsewhere, where I would be treated as a loyal customer.

I personally liked Henry’s better before they merged with Sprouts. The quality of their produce was much better than Sprouts. But I guess we can’t do anything about it anymore.
What I don’t like about this location is that the parking is very screwy… They are tiny parking spots that you literally have to squeeze your car in to be able to fit in.
I also noticed that in their frozen meat section, they have different prices when it comes to different amount of meat being sold. I know that when you shop at the meat counter, their prices are different for the same cut of meat. But what I am talking about is the differnce between one pound of chicken to 2 pound of chicken. I didn’t understand why they were different prices and when I asked the butcher he gave me a dirty look and never gave me a straight answer.
I don’t shop here that often anyways so no biggy…

I came here because I heard it was more affordable than Whole Foods with equal variety/​selection. I live down the block from Whole Foods so I trekked town to get to Sprouts.
Totally not worth it. Prices are either equal or sometimes more than Whole Foods. Smaller too… and way less selection. I won’t be back.
I could find more of what I need at Trader Joes (also a block from me).
