I've been in this store 8-9 times now and write this today after a 'last straw' moment.
Sprouts comes across like a health foods store started by people who previously sold knockoff sunglasses at the mall.
A box of cut watermelon I bought yesterday tasted like mealy Styrofoam and gave me violent stomach cramps. The pineapple box was underripe and pure acid. But make no mistake, everything prepared I've ever bought at Sprouts is disgusting. Their tuna melts are mayonnaise bombs, their avocados are brown and rotten inside, their 'sushi' is an affront to fish and all prepared heat and serve meals and soups seem to have been created by people who know nothing about what food is supposed to taste like.
Groceries are groceries, can't judge those. And the staff is friendly and well meaning. But do yourself a favor and stay away. Vons has better fruits and vegetables and I'd rather drive to Whole Foods or even Glazier's on the west side for prepared meals..
