I mistakenly ordered an overpriced tiny "Reuben" sandwich which was soggy and poorly prepared. The chicken quesadilla was also flavorless and really disappointing. The prices were HIGH !!!!

The produce section often has fabulous prices on quality produce, but they sneakily overcharge for items that should be on sale. If I pick onions from the bin with the sale price, how is it that I'm charged a higher price for a different type of onion? Most people aren't watching the prices as they're rung up, so the store gets away with it. This happens all the time! Are the produce people negligent about putting the correct item with the sale price? Or do they just post a sign so people think they're getting a good price?

I actually really like this grocery store, but for some reason in the last six months, every time I…read morego in, they're playing horrible country music that is so out of place and out of character for Marin County. I find myself shopping here less as a result or I try to get out as quick as possible and then wind up forgetting things and have to spend more time and money at other grocery stores anyway. If I could change one thing about this specific store, I would ask them to play more neutral music. OK rant over. after having said that, I'll go back to saying I like this grocery store because I feel like the quality of their produce and products for the price is better than many other super markets. They have a fantastic vitamin, herb and supplement section, regular sales, and pretty decent pricing for what they carry. I'm happy that they still have a bulk food section which is always kept well stocked. The one downside is that they stopped selling bulk pine nuts, so the only way you can get them is to buy a huge bag that costs almost $15. I've stopped buying pine nuts here as a result. Lastly, when California passed the law that grocery stores could charge $.10 per paper bag, sprouts decided to switch back to an unsustainable, single use thicker plastic bag that they also charge for,which is a violation of the law that was passed to cover the cost of paper bags. I am giving this store a 4 rather than a 5 due to the weird environment caused by the awful country music and their ongoing use of unsustainable bags and abusing the law that applies to paper bags. If they go back to sustainable paper bags, offer bulk pine, nuts, again, and play better music in the store, I would give it a five. Minor complaints. Nice grocery store.

Lots of local items, organic options, GF & vegan choices, with pleasant merchandising / atmosphere. I LOVE their bulk section - you can also get things like tea, olive oil, soap, etc. in bulk. Plus their supplements & natural skincare selections are great. Even when I'm not grocery shopping, I'll stop by to get food here. They have a ton of options and they make it to order. Love.

Overall, the store is lovely. I do enjoy visiting their produce section when I am in the area and…read morethey have this massive sourdough sandwich bread that is like 3 1/2 pounds that is gorgeous and I got a fresh loaf today. Banh mi Ba was closed today because they aren't open on Tuesday so I decided to get a sandwich from the Good Earth deli. It was meant to be a tofu banh mi -- It was on sourdough baguette with a pair of massive slabs of baked tofu. I give them credit for the delicious Japanese style pickle, but there simply wasn't enough of it and the scanty slices of daikon were OK, but ultimately this was better as a salad without the bread and added vinaigrette myself. Those chunks of tofu were undeniably tofu, but it was just not a great sandwich experience. The funny thing is, I had asked a couple of men dining outside the grocery store. If there was anything they recommended at the deli. They both told me what they had ordered and suggested requesting extra barbecue sauce for the brisket because it's quite dry. I was not expecting my tofu sandwich to be so dry but also soggy. I'll stick with Banh mi Ba for my banh mi -- and try other things at good earth going forward. Also, I just want to note that last November on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, my tire was vandalized by somebody who stuck a knife into it twice in on purpose purposes of the sidewall. They do not have cameras on the parking lot and even Fairfax police said "oh well we can't take reports for things that happened on private property" which honestly makes me wonder what they do when somebody breaks into a house or does something on "private" property. Does that mean laws are not enforced on private property in Fairfax? Stay tuned.

I especially love grabbing a fresh sourdough baguette (and sometimes a muffin or two!), and most of all, their roasted chicken. They also offer a variety of quick, last-minute lunch and dinner options that are definitely worth picking up. The store is very organized and super clean, and the staff is always quick and friendly at checkout. Although it's a pricey grocery store, it's nice to know that all their items are clean and healthy.

My review Is based on woodlands Holiday Thanksgiving meal offerings. My wife and I recently moved…read moreinto Marin from out of state. Not knowing anyone in the area and living in a 2 bedroom apartment we decided to outsource thanksgiving to Woodlands Market in Kentfield. We had shopped a few times at Kentfield and were very pleased with our experience so figured this was the ideal place to try takeout Thanksgiving. The pickup process was very convenient, they had a tent outside with multiple people helping customers. They walked through the order list show each item on the order list to make sure there wasn't anything missing, also they helped load items into the car. They even had snacks to offer, they made the atmosphere for pickup very nice ! We did their small turkey and assorted sides with desert option as we wanted some left overs. We were very happy with our choice !!! The sides were packed in aluminum containers which made re-heating very easy, the turkey was pre cooked so just needed to reheat. They provided instructions on how to reheat everything. Only thing I would change was I would of foiled the turkey top 1/2 through the reheat. The funny thing is when I went to throw out the box that the meal came in there was 2 boxes in the dumpster from others in the same dumpster from the apartment complex. Clearly we weren't the only ones overall this was a great experience and am going to order through them for Christmas as well.

I haven't yet had a chance to shop at United Market give it a try and I think you'll have an enjoyable day !

Neighborhood gem!…read more Lovely small business downtown. Parking can be tricky but it's worth it. The premade bento boxes, sushi, and onigiri are worth coming before lunchtime to ensure you get the tastiest most popular picks but if you cannot manage it, afternoon options are still worth it. The little store also has your favorite Japanese beverages, snacks, ice creams, and mochi. The shelves have a variety of ramen which my husband of course has to pick his favorites and some new to him options. He picked a wafer filled green tea ice cream that I wanted to taste but accidentally ate the entire thing so we I'll be back. Oh completely random - they have kimchi. I buy the white one here (we already have the red one and cucumber and radish plant ones at home) I love this store for their bentos, onigiri, mochi, and getting Asian grocery items I use for everyday meals. Check it out!

The sourdough bread was tangy, the meat was sliced super thin (which somehow makes it taste better?) and all the veggies were super crisp and fresh.
