Great store. Lots of gluten free options

The ABSOLUTE worst Whole Foods I've EVER been to in the country.💯💯💯 You can definitely tell that Whole Foods is now Amazon/Walmart, just ridiculously expensive. This location is run like an overpriced Walmart with ATROCIOUS customer service. Was literally IGNORED after I was told to go to the customer service area to "wait" to get checked out because I didn't have the app downloaded on my phone for Prime. I walked over to the customer service area, no one was there, but there was a cashier standing less than four feet from me who said, "I'm sorry there's no one to help you right now," then proceeded to turn his back on me and start checking out someone in his line without even calling for assistance. Wow. I literally called the store's OUTSIDE phone number to try to get assistance, and the cashier who originally turned his back on me answered the CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE that he had on his hip.😤 I asked him to get a manager over to customer service as I was literally looking at him, and I told him that I was the one on the phone and I needed help. He finally looked over at someone and said, " she's asking for a manager," as if I was the problem, and not the previous three people that didn't help me. The person that came over to finally assist me was actually very kind and apologized for the terrible customer service experience that I had. Unfortunately, the terrible customer service experience that I had with the cashier's at Whole Foods is systemic. This will be the LAST time I ever visit Whole Foods. PERIOD. Whole Foods has forgotten that customer service is EVERYTHING. Btw, for those who have wheat and gluten sensitivities and allergies, the Wholefoods 365 products that are labeled gluten-free are cross-contaminated because they use shared equipment. Actually, pretty much everything is cross-contaminated within the 365 brand. Check it out yourself. I purchased a bag of frozen strawberries and had a horrible GLUTEN reaction because they're "Organic" strawberries were processed on shared equipment. Nice.

Good selection of items, clean, and organized. I appreciate the variety in gluten free, dairy free, and vegan foods. It seems to be consistently well stocked at this Sprouts location. Prices have gone up considerably, but I feel that reflects the current economy and inflation rates. Still, I can find the exact same items at Walmart, even Trader Joe's, for a cheaper price, so I gave a 4-star rating instead of 5.

Awesome store, cool items to try. Bought every variety of the cashew milk yogurt drinks. Gluten free noodles. Chocolate. Gluten free muffin mixes. GF Waffle mix. All are tasty choices.

Shop there a lot for a gluten-free diet

Perennial favorite - Always always a good time at Trader Joe’s. And they have absolutely the best gluten-free muffins that anyone has ever made ever in the history of modern human civilization…

IMMEDIATELY UPON ENTERING: Customers are greeted by fragrances of lavender, mint, citrus, floral bouquets, sour dough bread and seared salmon. Energizing upbeat music provides retail background ambiance to a shopper's first visual connection with the store--which includes an extensive variety of vividly colorful & exotic produce. Further in, customers approach an abundance of fresh butchered meats (bison, lamb, grass fed organic beef, etc). Novel imported cheeses and charcuterie sausages are closely accompanied by in-house baked specialty breads, beautiful cakes and of course, the well reputed olive bar ($$). The store's products almost feel overwhelmingly limitless in options, even including an abundance of vegan and gluten-free chocolates (and vegan cornbreads), as well as locally sourced handmade goods. WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED: Tasting samples on the day of my visit included Brie w/tart cherry jam on a flakey cracker, lobster bisque & fresh baguette, pineapple, and a house spiced sausage. The staff were very friendly, quick & curtious. Rumors seem true that the store is frequently very busy. THE TAKE-AWAY: The Whole Foods experience promotes a general atmosphere of emotional + physical health, paired with an entertaining luxurious food-spa type wellness... And a grocery receipt price tag to match! Literally upon departure from this establishment, a shopper may be taking away fewer bags for their buck, but the higher quality level and appetizing products purchased, will easily create boom-a-rang clients & great word-of-mouth referral business. Chances are likely, that you'll be back! :)

I love their produce, they usually have good gluten free/allergy friendly food. Removed a star because I had some weird/gruff interactions with older women cashiers at checkout. Doesn't happen at other stores, so I avoid this location at times for that reason.

Val Serna

So cute and such a huge variety of cheeses! They also had gluten free crackers for their Just A Snack menu option.

Mary Spey

The quickest place to pick up some groceries and milk, and while you're there, a few special bites, like an artisan bread, or muffins, sushi, or a roast beef sandwich. The extensive vitamin and personal care products, health foods including gluten free products makes this quick stop a complete stop!

I love, love, love the hours of operation here. I'm usually up and about at a pretty early hour, so it's frustrating to have to push back my chores until a place opens. It's also so nice to have gluten free flours and other options in a brick and mortar store so I can just quickly grab something when I've run out. The soup options are always tasty, and offers me an easy way to grab some grub without having to feel guilty about it. I also love the selection of veggies I can get here. Tomatillos! Ginger! Love it. My one and only complaint is the meat section. The chicken I've bought here has had unusually hard tendons... Never really encountered anything like that before. Hardest chicken to debone I've ever seen! But that's my very minor quibble. I hardly ever buy meat here anyway! Highly recommend people stop by.

Excellent gluten free isle and organic produce. Friendly cashier's.
