Sprout San Francisco

The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I was directed here by another app as a place to pump. They really didn’t have a designated area for that but the manager found me a spot and was so sweet. She made me feel much more at ease.

Cutest little kids store! I was just coming from my pediatricians office and saw this place and just had to take a peek. It’s just cute heaven! Some items are pretty pricey (little newborn sweaters for $ 150) but I love the quality of everything. Whoever is the buyer for this little shop, bravo! I love your taste and selection. They sell honest products here, diapers etc. I got some transitional sippy cups for my son and they seem great! I have never seen them anywhere else. One is steel and the other one is glass with the rubber around it so it won’t break if it’s dropped. They have those little wooden magnet trains, they have high end strollers but no orbit :(, they have stokke high chairs!
I just need to say, I’m impressed. I will check out the one in marin and definitely will be back.

Looking for clothes for a friend’s newborn, and despite the existence of a half-​dozen baby stores in the Marina/​Cow Hollow area, this was the only place that had a real selection of preemie-​sized clothing. In fact, it seems to be one of the only such places in all of San Francisco. I’m leaving this review in the hope that the preemie /​premature keyword will help somebody’s search in the future.
The woman working at the store was friendly too. All in all, Sprout seems like a great place.

OOOh! Baby heaven! I just became a Grandma or as I’m referred to «GiGi», and I’m learning after all these years the newest baby stuff that’s a must have for my grandson. Like Kickee Pants, a really soft comfy line of clothing and onesies that my daughter just loves. And it has the cutest patterns, Sprout has tons to choose from their shelves!!! I also found an awesome firetruck toy I’m so excited to give my little peanut for Christmas, since his Grandpa is a Fire Captain. And a darling little ABC San Francisco book that is so cute! What a great store, GiGi will be back!!! ;-)

I end up here shopping for most of the baby showers I attend. They have a good variety and lots of organic items.

Cute store with cute clothes, if you are looking for a cute quick baby shower gift then this is the place. Let’s face it the Marina District (born and raised) So of course things are going to be a little on the pricey end. But you pay for what you get and that’s high end baby clothes.
Also that they have baby classes there to is the cutest! So if you are in the Marina check it out!!! The girls are helpful you wont be disappointed!
P.S fast turn around on orders, I even made a phone order who even does that anymore!!!
From– A happy shopper.

I walked in here today with my daughter planning to get a little something for my kids, intentionally wanting to support a local business. I asked the saleswoman a couple questions about their strollers and car seats, since they market themselves as being up to date on the latest non-​toxic and healthiest products for babies and kids. I was hoping they could teach me something new, and instead, the salesperson proved to not only be misinformed on some facts, but also shamelessly defensive, harsh, and rude. I was embarrassed for her, the way she was just dropping names and terms to sound like she knew her stuff.
I was disappointed when I tried to give her information on the new research on fluorinated chemicals (carcinogenic), which some of their products contain, and she completely barked at me and told me I was wrong because they «get everything tested at Duke University and everything comes back free of chemicals.» Uhhh, that program specifically tests flame retardants, and furthermore, they only test for a few *known* harmful flame retardants and not all that are used, especially the newly developed ones. Long story short, she didn’t want to hear it, which is sad, because she is supposed to help customers choose the healthiest products for their children. This is children’s HEALTH we’re talking about here.
I realize this place might spark curiosity about non-​toxic kid stuff for many people, but they certainly shouldn’t assume everyone who walks in is ignorant to these issues. I have done my homework and then some, and if the staff here are not open to new information that supports their mission, then they shouldn’t be considered qualified to work there. If the owner is reading this, you might want to train your staff to be open-​minded in conversations about the toxicity of children’s products, especially if there’s new research mentioned or information about brands and their disclosures.
If you’re a parent hoping to depend on this company to make healthy choices for you, I think you should reconsider. Further, I saw many products in their store that are very questionable – confident conclusions I’ve made through exhaustive research and communication (in writing) with manufacturers. In the end, it’s up to us to be conscious consumers and not be so naïve to trust a store to replace our due diligence.

As far as the clothing and baby accessories are concerned, sprout has beautiful (pricey) options. But then again, this is San Francisco and the demand for organic baby clothing is high, and so is the supply. I could go to basically every neighborhood in the city and find a baby clothing shop like this one. The difference of course is that in other shops the employees I have come across have been far more helpful and polite. Every time I have come to spirit he employees are rude, pre occupied in their own conversations, and lack customer service and attention. I purchased my daughters (very expensive) crib here about 8 months ago, and if given a choice I would’ve purchased it else where based on the rudeness of the employees alone.
Bottom line: go somewhere else for better customer service. Employees here are awful.

I really want to like Sprout but almost every time I’ve walked into the store I’m basically ignored by the staff, and if I have gotten someone’s attention, it seems they’re distracted. The merchandise is high quality and the store is usually calm which is a nice perk. However, I have often chosen to take my business elsewhere in order to receive better service.

This is a review for the event space in the back of the store: Molly was so lovely helping me coordinate a baby shower that I threw for a colleague. She was attentive and totally went the extra mile to help me set up!
I loved the beautiful sanctuary, it was peaceful, casual, relaxing and tucked away. Perfect place for a private soirée! There is space for chairs, a table for gifts and another for food and drinks. Maybe comfortably hosts 20ish folks.

Recently paid a visit to this awesome little store my wife and I found in the marina. Lots of high quality and high end choices that would be perfect for my first child soon to be born. As soon to be new parents we were definitely a little lost on where to start and it was a little overwhelming, but we were immediately greeted and helped by the associate named Katie. Very enthusiastic and patient and knowledgable, Katie walked us through the basics, showed us the Sprout checklist the store offers (what a lifesaver this was), and even helped us setup the Sprout app for the baby shower registry. the app was a snap scanning the barcodes on all the awesome products throughout the store. We spent a lot of time here but didn’t feel rushed or pressured at all, the customer service was excellent and it made the entire experience very fulfilling. We will be doing most of our shopping here from now on for our first child and many more after.

This store has some really thoughtful and well crafted items. I don’t even have children this age yet I keep finding reasons to go in here and buy their clothing and toys.
The manager Ashley is really wonderfully cheery and knowledgable and has seemingly trained her staff well. There is not a single employee I have encountered that doesn’t seem happy to be there and loves the merchandise as much as I do.
I have to confess that after all of the gifts I’ve purchased and strollers I’ve fantasized about buying if I had more kids, I bought myself these naturally stained wood blocks that have magnets inside.
They gift wrap which is stellar since I suck at that. Their prices are really low for the quality and design.
It is all very well thought out. Not that I have participated in this, but they have mom and baby reading groups and pertinent mommy/​baby get togethers.
I love both locations yet Mill Valley is my favorite. The music they play is really great and sounds so good I asked what their stereo system is, Sonos of course.
The lighting they’ve chosen for the store is really beautiful and good lighting always makes me want to linger and spend more money.
They don’t just provide you with customer service, it’s concierge service!
A MUST SHOP HERE SPOT…
Cribs, baby carriers, stroller systems, toys, organic everything, thoughtful selections of food containers, those glass drinking bottles, great kids books, baby sunglasses, bath products, and bedding.
Sprout Rocks!!!

Tons of ‘natural’ baby clothes on the racks and other ‘tidbits’.
Not much for actual ‘gear’ — maybe 2 – 3 stroller models and likewise for cribs, highchairs, carseats and any ‘big’ stuff, really.
They have a little play area for the kids to enjoy though, which is really great.

Sprout is such a sweet little store — so many beautiful baby items. The music classes on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s are really fun, a great activity for your baby/​toddler. Plus the patio out back is a great place to breast feed. :-)

After a disappointing first experience, I was really pleased with how Sprout handled the situation. After sending an email to the store, within 24 hours I heard from both the owner and manager, and they were both extremely apologetic. They helped me purchase the crib mattress I was shopping for, honored a discount I was eligible for, and even personally delivered it to my home. They more than made up for my first experience.

Don’t think I will come back again. I asked them to show me how to take a car seat out of its base and 1) she couldn’t do it. Maybe if they are going to sell a product, they should know how to use it. It’s a pretty important feature to know how to take the car seat out of its base. 2) It took her forever while she looked online instead of just asking the other person at the store, whom she «thinks» knows how to take it out.
After standing there for 10 minutes, trying to do it on my own, I finally just said… well see ya.
Overall, they seem pretty lame on their product knowledge and their willingness to help their customers. For a store that sells car seats for $ 300, maybe they should do some training or hire better people.

After attending their FUN GRAND OPENING Party of their new Mill Valley store– I decided that I should write a review. I have been shopping at Sprout SF for years. I love their selection of green toys, wooden cars and organic children’s clothing. They make great gifts! I also have brought some of their toys for the playspace we have at our SF children’s enrichment center.
My company offers classes at their SF store on Union Street and now is offering classes at their new Mill Valley location. We have had such a great experience working with Sprout and their team of staff over the past couple years. They are always so warm, helpful and knowledgeable.
Being in the industry I can say I truly admire, love and respect how much Sprout supports other local businesses and the community. We have created partnerships with so many local companies because they are always going above and beyond to make sure that parents, educators and service providers connect.
They are a drop off location for a wonderful local company called Fresh Baby Bites. They offer a wonderful selection of classes and workshops for children and parents including Baby Sign Language with Touch of Blue Sky (who are simply the BEST in the industry). They offer CPR Certification along with dozens of other educational classes and workshops for parents and nannies. They have a fun selection of weekly classes for children including music, dance, storytime and yoga classes. Sprout also host lots of fun events throughout the year many of them free to families in the community.
Once a year we hold a raffle and I am always surprised by the generous donation that Sprout makes year after year! Thank you Sprout! I also just recently learned about their involvement with The Breast Cancer Fund, The Environmental Working Group and The Children’s Environmental Health Fund! All amazing organizations that you can donate to right on their website.
Sprout is not just a store– it is a destination! A place that supports the environment and small local businesses! It is a company that gives back to the community and really cares about the families that live in it! If you want to shop local and support our community and the environment I would strongly recommend Sprout!

I am in love with this store. I appreciate the fact that they sell many things that are organic, environmental friendly and baby friendly (detergents, soaps, etc).
Will definitely go back!
Ps: Customer service is A+

The people at Sprout are extremely nice, helpful and just plain awesome. They have a ton of great clothing, furniture and toys for kids of all ages – and the organic stamp is very nice to see.
I picked up a glider/​chair there recently which was exactly the same price as you’d see on Amazon – so no major markup that you’d expect from a small independent store trying to make it in SF.
The only warning is that some of their clothing is very pricey. But, some of it is rare and some of it is high-​end so it is what it is.

I was there last month, when I was about 6 mo. along. I am by no means affluent, and just to make it clear to the sales staff that I likely not going to buy anything that day, I even told them that I just noticed their store and needed to kill some time before a hair appointment — YET, despite all of this, the staff were still extremely nice, helpful, and pleasant.
The selection is almost entirely all natural & organic, so if that’s important to you, or to someone you’re shopping for, then this is THE place. The only other place that comes close is Organic Grace, and they are in Eureka, so you have to order online and hope for the best.
They actually have cribs out, fully assembled, for you to view and they were surprisingly affordable. If having an all-​wood, really pretty crib, that’s not mass-​produced, is something that you’re willing to invest in, take a look here. Wherever they get these cribs, you won’t find them online.
