I love sprouts so much it's my favorite grocery store I think ever. Their produce and meat is…read morealways so good. They have great specialty dairy and all of their non-perishables are top tier. As a gluten free person I know I can get a full cart of groceries here and not have to compromise. Some of my ALL TIME favorite Sprouts picks are: - Bizzy espresso roast cold brew - good culture full fat cottage cheese - bubbies pickles and sauerkraut - LIVE SODA SPICY CHERRY BERRY flavor!!! - sprouts dill pickle chips made with avocado oil - Kalona farms heavy cream - siggi's vanilla skyr yogurt - sprouts mayo (weirdly good) - lesser evil popcorn - groundwork coffee - rotten foods sour gummy cruncheez The staff are always nice and accommodating. Today I saw them have a group staff huddle on the floor which was cool. I hope they treat their employees right and pay them well!! Chris is super nice

Sprouts is a great place to find some of the things I can't find in other supermarkets here…read more I appreciate the way sales are posted. Not only is it easy to browse the newest ads, I like that there is overlap in the ads--one day that you can shop two weekly ads at the same time. Because this location is a little farther from me, this perk makes it easier to combine the trip to save both time and money. Of course, our favorite is the bulk shopping items; okay, maybe mostly the gummy bears. They've gone up recently, but when you can get them on a sale, it makes it all worth it!

I am an ALDI junkie. I have found that almost all of my weekly shopping can be done here, and they…read morehave fantastic prices. A lot of people have a hard time getting used to the way ALDI works; ALDI's model is based on German and European markets, where people tend to shop more often in smaller trips. So you aren't usually going to find produce that can be held over for lengthy amounts of time. That said, they are shopped enough that their produce is fresh and has a high turnover. Be sure to catch deals on seasonal produce, as they regularly have the best prices on watermelons in summer and pumpkins in fall. ALDI is great for trying new and "off-brand" products. They offer a wide range of specialty items including cheese and wine. I've found most to be better than average with much of it sourced in Europe. While they do offer name products, who doesn't love "generic" European wines and real milk chocolate at "chocolate flavored" prices? Be sure to bring a quarter in order to use a shopping cart. At checkout, you can purchase bags, use your own from home, or grab a box from a shelf or bin and recycle it later.

Be very careful when buying meat specials at Aldi. Yesterday their online ad had Boneless Chicken…read moreThigs listed for $1.99 per pound. I grabbed a pack at the meat counter but it was marked at $2.99 so when I got to the check ouit I pointed that our to the register man. He picked up his pphone and checked with someone in the back that told him only certain packages were marked with that price. My wife took that package back to the meat counter and picked up a different package but it also was marked at $2.99. The register man said he would go back and find the rigt kind of package. He did so and came back with a differetn type of package that was marked at $1.99. I found him helpful but I believed this is a very sneaky way of doing business. If you advertise them at $1.99 than all packages with tohose contents that are on the counter should be at that price.

Stopped by Smiley Brothers for lunch. Nice little restaurant with an old world vibe. Excellent wine…read morechoice, fresh cheese, dry aged ribeyes and fresh cut steaks. We were greeted promptly and took a few minutes to look at the menu. I LOVE roast beef, so it peaked my interest. My wife chose the Smiley burger. We placed our order and grabbed a seat. Place was quiet even though it was probably 75% full for lunch. Roast beef was served hot in toasted sour dough. Cheddar, tomato, lettuce and horseradish topped the generous portion of roast beef. Bread was crisp and the beef was hot and juicy. Horseradish gave a nice tangy flavor. My wife's Smiley burger was hand patted. Juicy and perfectly cooked. Bun was soft inside and nicely toasted in the outside. Bread and butter pickles, onion, tomato and lettuce topped it off. But the star of the show were the fries cooked in beef tallow!! Hot and salty, crispy and a deep flavor. I would come back just for the fries. Although a little bit pricey for lunch, it was excellent! Staff were friendly and attentive! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thanks for an awesome lunch and excellent experience!

This ALDI location delivers very good value in groceries. The food (especially pantry items,…read moreprivate-labels, and everyday staples) offers strong bang for your buck. The basic store layout and checkout process are efficient, making it ideal for quick trips or budget-conscious shopping. I like I can get in and out fast. Usually all the customers are nice and just getting their list done. Produce is usually good. I like their protein bread choices. Good selection of cheese but not many skim or low fat choices. I like their low fat cottage cheese, sour cream and Greek yogurt. They have low sodium chicken and beef broth. I bring my own grocery bags in and I don't get a cart. I will overload if I get a cart. This location has self checkout. Not all locations have self checkout. Then usually 1 lane that is staffed. There are not many employees working there so if you are looking for higher service levels you might want to go somewhere else. The staff are usually nice. I always check their app before I go. It's a smaller grocery store so they don't carry nearly as much as a Whole Foods, Publix, Walmart, etc. For the price, it's a dependable option that ticks most boxes. It's the grocery store I visit most frequently.

Went recently in the early evening. Thought we were beating the dinner crowd in the shopping…read morecenter as parking can sometimes be a little crowded with 2 restaurants and surrounding retail, but parking was already filling up. Nice atmosphere. There were two small groups already there, and I get the impression it is kind of a hang-out for some high school/young adults. The staff was friendly, and even though we'd indicated we'd had boba tea before, they were great at giving the whole tea spiel. I'd seen lots of colorful teas and fruit and such online, but we were just looking for the standard milk teas, as a good one of those is essential. My daughter got a taro with boba which was going to be my pick, so I quickly chose the Cinnamon Roll from the wall, which is winter melon milk tea, winter melon and cinnamon (syrup) drizzle, and boba. The boba was still warm in the bottom of the cup, which was an interesting first for me. But the boba was generous, and the drizzle gave it a sweetness and flavor that definitely tasted like a cinnamon roll. My daughter said the taro was a little bland, and on sampling I kind of agree that the taro was a bit mild. I did have one issue with my cup. When I went to pick it up, I did so from the bottom and it splorted out the top of the straw; I felt like a kid with a juice box, though I definitely didn't pick it up with any type of Hulkish vice squeeze. I don't know if it was because of the warm boba or just a thinner cup that was softer to touch. Picking it up close to the top of the cup helped. I do like that there is a closer boba tea option than there ever used to be, and while it wasn't my absolute favorite boba tea of all time, it's definitely some place I'll return to try a few more of the traditional milk tea options.

I had been coming to this Acai bowl place since it actually began many years ago. This is the best…read moreof the best around the country for sure. The vibe, the layout, the cleanliness, and inside is always perfect for real. Each and every server you have is always wonderful and nice too. Then this bowl I have actually ordered every single time over the years at this place and their other locations too, had been my favorite for real. I basically wish I could just have this for lunch or dinner every single day of my life. I am likely the only person ever that has them not add Nutella but use some honey instead. I may be the only person that doesn't like Nutella since almost everyone loves that flavor. That's the single only edit I ever make because all their flavors are super yummy over many years every single time.
