| - Clean, bright and often out of items we frequently buy. However, they have a super nice staff, and since this used to be a Sunflower store, they tell me they're still in the process of standardizing. Overall, not quite as nice or well-stocked as the Shea location, but still terrific!
The lines can get wicked long on weekends, and the shelves are pretty empty of things like bread and muffins by about 8:30pm (even though they're open until 10pm). If you keep those things in mind and come in during the day, you're likely to find your favorite type of Sprouts bread and most everything else.
If you've never been to Sprouts before, it's a huge natural store - great produce (organic and regular), groceries, frozen stuff and household products, plus an extensive wine selection and a vast array of already-prepared foods. It's a much more reasonably priced, smaller and more casual Whole Foods.
They have big bulk bins of all kinds of things, from different types of flour, flax and nuts to dried fruit, yogurt pretzels and chocolate-covered fruit/nuts. You can get a small amount as an ingredient or a lasting supply. My husband finds all of this really useful for healthy recipes and smoothies. They have great natural brands of toilettries, including Tom's of Maine, Burt's Bees, lots of neat brands I've never seen anywhere else). The selection is eclectic and excellent.
They don't have all the same brands and items as the regular grocery store, but they do have almost everything we need.
