Very clean farmers market! Staff is super helpful. I loved my beet salad! I'll definitely be shopping here again!

A dear friend wanted to get me something special for my birthday. She said the small package would arrive Wednesday or Thursday. Wednesday, I checked. There was nothing at my front door. When I got up early Thursday, there was a Sprouts bag with two high end chocolate bars, some special looking pure peanut butter plus three containers of TreeLine cashew cheese and a tray of spicy tuna sushi. The last items require refrigeration. But there wasn't any. No chemical ice packages. The bag was sitting in the sun. It was 74 degrees. There had been no notice that the bag arrived. How long had the food been out in the sun? I wasn't certain. Since the sushi and the cheese might have gone bad, I wasn't going to eat them. Instead, I called the nearest Sprouts store in Avenel, New Jersey. Melisha Webber, the head cashier, answered. From her first words, she was understanding. It was clear she wanted to help. Even though Instacart had made the errors - no refrigeration and lack of notice - she wanted to make it right. "Tell me what you had,": she said. "Please come here and we'll give you fresh items." She didn't know me. She didn't ask for proof. She just wanted to do the right thing. During a break in my schedule, I drove to Sprouts. When I asked for Melisha, two clerks already knew my name. "You must be Ron," one said with a smile. "We have some items for you in the refrigerator." Melisha took the items from me and immediately threw them away. She wasn't taking any chances. "Let me get you the fresh items," she said. "I hope you don't mind. I gave you two orders of sushi." This is what true customer service is. A person who doesn't look for blame. She just works on a solution. It was an honor to meet her. read more

Saw this farmers market when in Avenel area and visited this place . It almost like a hidden gem. So many organic stuff and lots of good things . Nice and spacey. Location wise it's good. Lots of other shops and restaurants around . Lots of parking outside . Lots of salad varieties. Some were good and we bought some . Overall this place is slightly pricey than other farmer markets . Healthy for is available but pricey. Liked the vegetables and fruits . Got some . Lots of warm food options available . Looked good . Overall a good experience . 4 stars . read more

This was my first time at Sprouts. I immediately noticed the store is spacious, clean, and fully stocked. There are plenty of "ready made" options available in contrast to everything else in the store. They have a great selection of everything with mostly reasonable prices. I'll definitely be shopping here again. read more

Driving by on the 1-9 and St. Georges Avenue I have been watching Sprout erm...sprout up for several months now. This past week the supermarket finally opened so of course I took some time to check it out! I was not familiar with Sprouts until this location was announced. The store brands itself as a high quality market focusing on organic and specialty goods. Imagine taking some of the more "crunchy granola" parts of Whole Foods and condensing them into one store. Size wise this place is bigger than a Trader Joe's, but smaller than say, a World Class Shop Rite. Like TJs and Whole Foods however, Sprouts has many products from their in-house brand on the shelves which offers nice alternatives to brand names. Speaking of which, similar to Whole Foods, Sprouts limits the brands it carries, so do not expect the diversity of say, Shop Rite or Stop & Shop. When you enter the market the prepared foods section and pre-packaged meal area is off to the right, produce is in front (with other items such as rice by the pound and spices) and off to the left is the frozen area, breakfast foods (cereals etc.) and in the back corner is the health and self care section with everything from Probiotics to shampoo. I did not rush and it probably took me a solid 30-40 minutes to explore the entire store (and I went aisle by aisle for fun!). Price wise, these folks are more on par with Whole Foods than Shop Rite, but given the organic pedigree that is hardly a shock. Don't expect big savings here, come prepared to spend some cash. The staff was very busy, I trust in part making sure the store looked good given that it just opened. In that respect they were doing a great job. Despite the crowd the store and shelves were all in excellent shape! I do plan to revisit Sprouts again some day but it will not be replacing any of my other supermarkets. Still, it is a fun addition to the area and I'm hopeful it is a success! read more

So excited for the grand opening of Sprouts in Woodbridge that I made it a personal mission to stand in line to experience it! This isn't your average grocery store - you're receiving high quality, organic options in a "indoor farmers market" setting. All the produce was fresh, highlighting in season items with the staff providing great suggestions for meal ideas. If you're someone on a health journey, has a specific allergy, or just wants to try new items - Sprouts is the place for you. Gluten free options galore, allergy friendly ingredient substitutions, and bulk dry good purchases to fill your own containers. During the grand opening there were free samples, music, and amazing energy with the staff cheering you on upon entry at 7am. Can't wait to return and shop more! Pro tip: download the Sprouts app for discounts! read more

Once again, experienced scanned items that are overcharged at the scanner at the self checkout area. Manager's special pricing on shelves mean nothing it seems, exept getting you to overpay for something you think you're getting a good price on. Lately at least one item scanned incorrectly each time, pressed the "help" button 3 times, during my last visit, I think an employee may have looked in my direction and did not respond. No employee seemed to be at the self-scan area for help. Prices are not cheap here to begin with. The store and parking lot is spacious, and the store never seems to be crowded, for obvious or maybe not so obvious reasons. I guess if you don't care to be overcharged, you might not care. read more

I am beyond excited we have a Sprouts now!! We heard the coffee was great and came to try the chocolate caramel brownie coffee. It is absolutely delicious. We also picked up some milk, shishito peppers, heirloom tomatoes and tried their fresh sushi. It was delicious as well. The workers we interacted with were really nice also. The guy behind the sushi counter and one of the guys stocking produce. Prices can be expensive but trust that you're getting good quality items. Its clean, easy to move around and through aisles and plenty of parking. We will definitely be back. read more

I finally made it to Sprouts! I had a gift card and was waiting for this one to open closer to home. Store is neat and nice, but all the stuff they carry is not healthy for you. I thought it would be geared more towards health & wellness. I did get all the ingredients for lasagna and it was delicious! The employees were so nice. Eric was extremely helpful and kind and there was a girl standing by exit that was a pleasure to deal with. I will definitely go back as I got another gift card for a holiday present! It's a nice addition to area, but wish it was closer to me. read more

listen .. i've been to many sprouts farmers markets and i use to love the consistency with there sushi chef here . now they don't have that and they got rid of all the workers from before .. now all the new people don't take care of anything the sushi is not the same . or even train people to restock the shelves .. there's molding on fruit . they were doing so good in the first few months and watching it fall apart so quickly is so devastating. i remember when the workers were soo polite and inviting.. they let it go so quickly . need to fix everything asap ! read more

I was excited to hear that Sprouts had opened up in an area not that far from me but my first experience left a lot to be desired. I'm going to give the physical store a 5/5. It is bright, clean, and organized. It is smaller than I expected and aisles are a little tight. The selection is limited in the sense that this is the grocery store to do all of your shopping but you go here for specific things. The produce selection was good and everything looked fresh. There are a lot of healthy brands which is the reason why you would come to this type of store. There is no dedicated bakery (that I saw) and the sweet treat selections are limited and mostly healthy! The employees we encountered were mostly friendly but my encounter in the deli is what made me give my overall review a 3/5. They have Boars heads which is great. I stepped up to the counter, at the moment there were no customers at all. The woman acknowledged me and said I'll be right with you. I could see she was actively filling an order. I waited for about 5 mins. I could see other workers in the back but they were doing things, so I am waiting. The woman than says to me that she's working on an order and just needs to do the cheese and then she will be with me. I say ok. I am fine waiting because I see she's doing something. But then she asks her coworker if she could help me and I could see the attitude she had because she must have been doing something and was interrupted. She came over to me and said what do you want in a short face with a pissy face. I should have walked away but I had already waited so long I just wanted my order. I ask for a half a pound of turkey. She ended up giving me a pound. I didn't even say anything because I don't want to argue with someone who is handling my food. I was going to get more things but I just said forget it. After that I didn't really feel like going through the rest of the store so we went through 1-2 more aisles and then we decided to go to Wegmans since a majority of what we needed was there anyway. Overall I think this is a nice, niche grocery in the vein of Trader Joes and Whole foods. I would go here for produce or if I was looking for a few things not a full on grocery shop. My experience in the deli really turned me off so I don't know if I would come back here. It's almost 30 mins from where I live and if I'm going to drive that long I want to go to a place that I enjoy. read more

I just left sprouts in avenel. The woman that helped me in the produce section was very nice and helped get what i wanted. The cashier, Janet L. was a total pleasure.. Thanks all. read more

I usually never write reviews but I had such a positive experience i I had to share it. I stopped in one evening after visiting my friend in town, the store is very nice and clean. While I was in produce, an extremely helpful employee named Derek assisted me. He was patient and attentive, he even let me try a particular apple I was interested in buying. Everything I bought was great, I will definitely be shopping there again the next time I'm in town. read more

Deli and meat/seafood sections are honestly gross. The meals look like glorified tv dinners in a overpriced plant based container. It's supposed to be a farmers market; Have you seen the ingredients on most of their nutrition labels? The sandwiches there are hit or miss but more miss. If you get them "marked down" you may be lucky and find one without wilted veggies or discolored deli meat. The salads look ok but it really depends on who made them and when. Carefully inspect what you select in the perishable departments before you buy. Things aren't always what it seems at 1st glance and these days, you can't throw away your dollars just because you think you can trust them because the store title says farmers market. Nothing in the deli, bakery or meat departments come from a farm. In all honesty, the grocery side is ok. You will find unique items and most are overpriced still. Perishable departments are by far, very questionable in quality and price. read more

Excellent customer service! Fresh fruit and Herbs !! If you a naturalist you will love this place

I don't typically leave reviews but I had a party recently and had the pleasure of meeting your employee Shawna. She helped me in the deli department with some cold cuts and cheeses. She gave a slice of everything I ordered for my son to sample. We have been coming to this location since it opened and have never been given the opportunity to sample the cold cuts and cheeses. My son and I really appreciated that. I needed some chicken wing from the meat department but nobody was at the counter so Shawna helped me there as well. While she was helping me with the wings they announced for her to go to the front. By the time we got to the registers there she was helping one of the cashiers with a bit of a difficult customer. I've never experienced someone so helpful and pleasant. Customer service like Shawna gave my son and I will keep us coming back. read more

awesome store always organized with a great selection of items. staff is always great too!!
