Sprouts Farmers Market

Love the produce and seafood selection!!! WAY better than whole foods and cheaper too. I will definitely drive the 20 mins for this market.

Love all sprouts. The beef and cheddar sandwich on sourdough is really tasty. I buy my acai berry there as well as lean meats and fresh good fruits and vegetables. Always seems last packed then whole foods. Everyone is always super friendly and helpful. Never a long wait. Truly love shopping here. They have a lot of specialty foods. Very cheap too.

I have shopped here several times and have always been impressed. They have a wonderful selection of all types of groceries. Today I was looking for a natural cleanse system and they had it! They have a huge selection of natural vitamins and such. This is in addition to all of the yummy items that are in the bins like chocolate covered pretzels. The staff is very friendly and the store is well stocked with items that you will actually use — not like some stores. I am definitely a fan of these folks!

This is a fairly new grocery store in the neighborhood. I enjoy going here when I want some prepared food or something a little different. Produce is pretty good but there’s a small selection. Good for a quick trip to the store but don’t expect to find everything you would need for a recipe or even a weekly grocery trip for a family of four.
Their deli is pretty good and I like their sandwiches. I would definitely recommend coming here for a quick dinner.

Unique items, friendly faces!
I shop here occasionally for seasonal or specialty items, but always walk out with more than I intended to buy (kind of like my trips to that certain bulls-​eye store we all love so much), but I digress… :)
Sprouts has a variety of interesting products, and really has a wide selection of seasonal goodies and treats, specifically now during the holiday season. The regularly-​stocked items are competitive in price to what you can get at larger grocery stores in Houston, but they do have more of an organic, gluten-​free, etc. focus that does differentiate their inventory to warrant the prices. I have not been particularly overwhelmed by the freshness in their produce department and in fact still prefer larger grocery chains, but will visit in the Spring when they will likely have a better chance at getting more fresh foods.
The people here are GREAT! The cashiers are all very friendly, and those working the floor are happy to help you find whatever you are looking for. I also like the prepared foods department, it’s hard to resist when you go by!
Definitely check it out for something different and perhaps a friendly chat! Cheers!

Out of all of the health food stores I’ve been to in Houston, Sprout’s in the Heights is by far my favorite. There isn’t anything particularly special about it, it’s just your average grocery store — and that’s what I like about it. The layout of the store is nice and open and I never feel claustrophobic like I do at some grocery stores. It’s also never too crowded. There is a deli and sushi, but no juice bar or salad bar or any of the extras that other grocery stores like Whole Foods has.
There is a great produce section, tons of gluten free products and all the paleo options you might need (Kerrygold, grass-​fed beef, grass fed milk products, etc) My only issue with this store that sometimes they are out of the grass-​fed beef. Not a HUGE ideal for me because I’m not 100% paleo. It’s a smaller store, so the selection is not as big as other stores, but I’m able to get everything i need/​want in one stop so that makes me happy!
The staff is always really friendly too!

This place is awesome. I’ve recently moved to the area from Richmond, VA, and was happy to find such an awesome grocery store close to me. In Richmond, farmer’s market stores are plentiful, so I’m kind of spoiled, but used to paying a hefty price for it.
Sprouts is better than any farmers market store I’ve been to, because it provides fresh produce and meat at amazing prices! A package of raspberries for $ 0.88?! On the vine tomatoes for $ 0.48 a lb?! I wouldn’t have believed it, had I not purchased them a few weeks ago!
Their freshly made soups are also delicious! So far I’ve tried the Italian wedding soup (which is a rare pre-​made find at most grocery stores), tomato (delicious), and chicken noodle. In the midst of a cold, nothing beats their soup with a delicious bread from their bakery!
Another delicious find — their turkey salad! Try it, you’ll love it!

Pros:
–clean!
–it’s the perfect size to house tons of options but you can see the whole store and the aisles you need without getting lost like in bigger grocery stores
–they have items on sale frequently that make higher end products cheaper than said grocery stores
–more affordable than Whole Foods but still great quality
–location right off I-​10, easy to get to, tons of other small shops near if you want to walk around before or after
Cons:
–Could not find a store employee when I had a question, everyone seemed to be at the registers, maybe bad timing
It’s about 12 miles away from me but I would still come back to shop here!

It has only been 4 months since my original review of Sprouts, but I feel pretty compelled to write another. Even though I live a mile from the brand new, large HEB store in Tanglewood, I do at least 75% of my grocery shopping here at Sprouts in the Heights. It’s on my way home from spin class once a week, so it works out.
I love the small grocery store feel of Sprouts. HEB keeps getting bigger and bigger, and every time I walk into Sprouts I feel at home rather than overwhelmed. Nothing is hard to find here. The prices at Sprouts are lower than anywhere else on 8 out of 10 things I buy (when you shop the sales), which makes it more than worth my time to come here. Wednesdays are «Double Ad Wednesdays» when you can take advantage of two weeks worth of sale ads at once.
I’m obsessed with their meat department — the quality is consistently better (and cheaper) than what I was used to buying elsewhere. I can get a seriously good cut of pork chops here for $ 1.99/lb when at HEB the same quality and cut would never be cheaper than $ 4.99/lb. All of their fresh meats are advertised as no added ingredients/​hormones/​etc. If you’re a Paleo eater like me, you will LOVE their meat and produce departments. Sprouts is what allows me this lavish lifestyle. Bell peppers 2 for $ 1, 99 cents/​lb for organic apples and on-​the-​vine tomatoes, 50 cent cucumbers, 99 cent celery, 89 cents for a pound of organic carrots, and I could go on!
Sprouts has won me over! I’m excited to see where they go in the future. Would love to see them expand to even more Houston communities.

I am in love… with Sprouts! Their selection of produce is diverse as it is fresh and tasty. The bread and pastry area has things for your sweet tooth and your waist line with with a great variety of grained breads, pitas, tortillas.
The cheese and condiments are always fun to paroose. During a recent visit I found bread & butter horseradish pickles, omg they are awesome… diclaimor, must be a fan of horseradish to appreciate.
I was really blown away by their meat options. In addition to have a meat & seafood counter they have a selection of game meats also which is a nice difference.
There is so much more they offer to make loving a healthy lifestyle easier and their costs make it affordable for the average joe.
Plus their staff have always super nice and helpful, offering advice when I purchase certain items. For an example, the produce guy gave me some great tips to a keep my greens fresh longer, just out of the blue, it was awesome, and even more so, it worked!

Sprouts, sprouts, let it all out
These are the veg I can’t do without
Come on, I’m talking to yucca, come on
In engorgement times, you shouldn’t have to fill your bowl
With beans and rice, they really really ought to know
Those one track minds, that took you for avoiding soy
Kiss them goodbye, you shouldn’t have to jump for bok choy
You shouldn’t have to jump for bok choy
That’s the veggie version of the Tears For Fears hit «Shout.» I bet you didn’t know there was a veggie version. The more you know!
Sprouts are awesome! And Sprouts is awesome for selling sprouts! I’ve only been here a few times, but I’ve been curious because I keep getting their ad in my mail.
I like coming here on Wednesdays when the sale ads overlap. That’s really awesome. I think all of the other grocery stores only have ads for Wednesday to Tuesday. When I was there recently, they were out of the watermelons on sale. I just told my cashier, and she gave me a rain check!
They have a lot of my favorite vegan brands, like Amy’s Organics and So Delicious. When they put that stuff on sale, I go and stock up. So Delicious makes the best dairy-​free ice cream with coconut milk. Yummy! And their produce sales are sometimes half of what I’d pay at any other grocery store.
They also have a lot of healthy personal products, like makeup and soap. Like WF, they print on both sides of their receipts and give you a small discount for bringing your reusable bags.
I almost forgot! They are open until 11pm! How awesome is that?!? TJ’s closes at 9pm, and WF closes at 10pm. It looks like the other Houston area Sprouts are only open until 10pm. Well I’m glad this is the closest one to me! It’s really convenient having a healthy grocery store open this late since I tend to stay up late! I can do my running in the evening when it’s less hot and sunny and still have time to come here. I’ll definitely be back!
And now for the second verse:
Veg give you life, and in return you hate morel
So bold and nice, I hope we learn to eat the kale
I hope we learn to eat the kale
Sprouts, sprouts, let it all out
These are the veg I can’t do without
Come on, I’m talking to yucca, come on

Sprouts surprised me with their massive selection in a small store. A lot of things are expensive, as expected, but you have to look around. It’s cheaper than whole foods for sure. Their snack bins look great, especially the chocolate covered fruit. I like to frequent the «health foods» aisles at HEB and Kroger, but their selection is often limited. Sprouts is a welcome addition to all of the supermarket choices in the area.
My two favorite discoveries: black bean noodles, naturally high in fiber and protein; and red hot blues, spicy blue corn chips. I can’t remember the brands. Sorry.

What could possibly be said that hasn’t already been said about this place? So I wanted to leave a tip for y’all.
The worst thing is walking away feeling like you just bought a used car… ripped off. If you think Sprouts is expensive, there is a way to walk away winning with «Double Ad Wednesday!» ALWAYS look up the new ad on Tuesday and do your shopping on Wednesday, when both weekly ads (from the previous week and the upcoming week) are in effect.
When chicken’s on sale, buy extra and freeze it. (They like to rotate chicken parts so that tenders are never on sale the same week as thighs, etc…) Same with fish!
Get your Fage yogurt when it’s 5/​$ 5, not $ 1.79 each! Almond milk when it’s $ 2.50! If you actually shop off the ad, this place is so affordable that it can turn any cheapo frown upside down. :)
This place loses a star since its staff is hit-​or-​miss surly lookin’. In fact, they make my local Sprouts’ employees seem a lot cheerier. :P Anyway, COME HERE! The produce here is absolutely gorgeous… Prettiest produce around without forcing you to refinance your home so that you can eat nice fruits and vegetables.

Don’t want to wait until the weekend to hit up a farmers market?
Come here.
Don’t want to stand in a 30 minute line at Walmart to deal with sub par customer service?
Come here.
Don’t want to deal with dinged up produce marked up to outrageously high prices?
Come here.
Now that we’ve established why you should come here, let me give you some details on why I love Sprouts.
Sprouts is a reprieve from the massive chain grocers in the area. A fairly condensed location that focuses on produce vs. all the other necessities of life. Yes, things like meat, canned goods, and even bread are marked higher than what you can find at Kroger or HEB. The produce section here is out of this world. The prices are competitive, if not better than their competitors and the quality surpasses what we have accepted as the standard.
Sprouts prides themselves on local. If you are looking for a deal, take a look at their weekly circular. Here’s a hint: the best prices are on veg and fruit that are IN SEASON, i.e. fresh and full of nutrients.
This location has been a godsend since I’ve started juicing again. The past 2 times I’ve gone in my total has been in the $ 20-​$ 30 for 4 double bagged paper sacks of groceries. I can cook healthy, fresh, from scratch, plant based meals on a more regular basis without putting my wallet in a chokehold.
My pockets are feeling heavier and my fridge is feeling jam packed. That is what shopping for dinner should feel like.

Thank you God for Sprouts!
Pros:
Close to home
Easy to park and get in
Great service from employees
Great selection of produce and prices are fair
Open until 10pm
Right next to Guitar Center!
SPROUTS IS IN THE HEIGHTS
Cons:
None yet discovered

Sprouts, I am a fan! What a great new addition to our neighborhood. I have been several times since they opened and have been happy each time.
Yes, some items are pricier than the big grocery stores and some things are WAY less expensive.
The layout feels super open to me and everything is pretty well organized. I may not be able to get everything I need here but for a quick convenient run in and grab a few grocery items without having to navigate a giant store this place is it!
Plus their employees are all super duper nice!

Meh. I wouldn’t preferred they put a Fresh Market here instead of Sprouts.
The size is decent, but this may have been the first time I spent $ 11 in any grocery store. I just could not find anything that looked the least bit appealing for the price. Yogurt, ect was way over priced, and I didn’t particularly like the layout. Hardly any floral selection, and none of the meat looked like it was particularly cold. Yes, everything is shiny and new, but I would much rather go to the HEB on San Felipe where I can buy all organic for cheaper prices, and also buy paper towels and tampons that aren’t cardboard. I’ll pass.

This location just opened last week, so I’m not going to hype anything until later in the year to see if it remains consistent. Parking is not an issue at the moment, but it will be considering there is a new World Market next door. Employees were extremely nice. Kind bars were buy one at $ 1.69, get one free, now that’s a deal I couldn’t pass so I picked up 20…
I’m a daily Nutri Bullet and weekly Breville user, so I stocked up on the blueberries for .88, pineapple for $ 1 ($ 3 at Krogers). Produce seems really inexpensive, and their wild caught salmon is cheaper than Krogers and H-​E-​B. Produce was really fresh, seafood did not smell fishy, so it is fresh. Overall, it’s worth the drive.
TIP: Best day to shop is Wednesdays, because customers can take advantage of last week and the new week sale’s ad. Plus, they accept coupons, so the lady in front of me in the check out line.

After visiting Sprouts for the first time ever, I must say I am extremely impressed! I went expecting a Trader Joe’s type grocery store, but now I would equate Sprouts to a more relaxed Whole Foods.
I was able to find everything I needed– organic meats and organic produce (both at a GREAT PRICE– hello, $ 2 blackberries and $ 5 grassfed steaks,), cleaning products, juices, snacks, etc. There was never a moment where I thought «Darn, I wish they had _​_​_​_​_​». They had all of the typical Whole Foods/​healthy Kroger brands (I would say at similar prices), plus their own brands of food. The size of Sprouts was perfect for me– I didn’t have to walk through the junk aisles to find what I needed. Very efficient grocery shopping for me.
I liked the bulk food section, and nearly bought gummy bears, before seeing that food dye was added to them. So beware– not everything there is «all natural». I also wish Sprouts offered more ready made, hot meal items.
I’m not ready to commit yet… but I think I might be going to Sprouts instead of Kroger’s from now on for my weekly grocery shopping needs! It saves me time, saves me money on my organic meats and produce, and I know they won’t run out of organic chicken!

Pros:
— great customer service
— great location (for me)
— great produce prices
— Enough parking
Cons:
— other items are overpriced (eggs, almond butter, Fage yogurt, soy milk) … Cheaper at Kroger
— Sale prices seem temporary
— Bakery goods aren’t chem free enough for me — WFM has better baked goods (yes, I’m willing to pay $$$ for fewer chems)
TLDR
— I’ll be back for SOME items
— This is NOT the Aldi /​WFM /​Trader Joe killer I thought it would be
