As a student, Trader Joe's has awesome options to help me get all I need for a day and have something sweet. I grab most of my breakfast and bread/wrap items here as well as chip/treats/sweets. I feel like they have a good rotation and it's fun to see them giving out samples every now and then. Everyone in the store is helpful and resourceful but it can be hectic sometimes. Other times it's calm and you get to just browse each aisle. Come at a good time :)

Going into Sprouts here in the Fairview Shopping Center is always a rewarding experience. Their…read morestore is always well organized, clean, and staffed with very helpful people. Absolutely love their Deli Sandwiches and Sushi selections. Always freshly made and with fresh ingredients. Wednesdays are always a great day with their Sushi Specials. And ordering up a delicious Sandwich combination is always easy. Special shout out to Dee behind the counter. Always helpful, and always with an honest smile. They have also increased their selection of Grab-n-Go food items. This makes having a delicious lunch or dinner all the more special. And as we all strive to eat healthier these days, they have a nice selection of Organic, Keto, Gluten Free, Plant Based, Non GMO, and Paleo items. They also always have a wide selection of Sprouts Brand items, supplements, bath and body products, and kitchen items. Pretty much anything you could possibly need . . . and want. Also love their hours. 7 am to 10 pm, very convenient for early risers and/or last minute shopping after work.

The gentleman and I went over different marinades we use, salsas, and other meats he uses so he has something for everyone. 10/10 to the staff!

I'm done with this store. Every visit I have to wait in line to dispute charges.

One of my favorite local grocers - esp for their marinated meats, ceviches, salsas, and spices…read more Their shrimp ceviche is simply the best and sell out often! I've tried many spots and even a place like the Lure Fish house can't compare. Theirs is honestly flavorless compared to Santa Cruz market.. Their guac is also delicious! I come by here regularly to shop for pho spices individually, and a couple staples like cilantro, green onion, and limes. The only thing they don't have is cardamom but I visit Oriental Market for that. Also their bean sprouts are the best in the local area. I've checked sprouts, Ralph's, and even Oriental but they always are watery.. i think they don't store them right or receive the shipment properly. Santa Cruz has the best ones but you'll have to come when they are fresh! They are the best local Mexican market in Goleta imo!

I doubt I'll ever go back in there like so many others are doing for the very same reasons. The food quality has also gone downhill. Older looking produce so old looking it has wrinkles all over it.

The store over all is great. The deli is great…read more The sushi bar is real good. The deli prepared hot foods are less that great, except the chicken is ok. The sweet and sour chicken is best described as dried golf balls marinated in sweet and sour sauce. The onion rings are like deep fried shoe strings.

I had one of my bags split open while trying to pick it up, leading to a glass container smashing open on the ground. I picked up the large pieces and threw them away, then went back inside to let one of the employees know of the incident. She was extremely passive aggressive. I find this quite ironic given that she bagged my items. I had to go back to my car to find new bags to transfer everything into before I could get it into my car. By the time I was done, I came back to return my cart and I could tell someone had mopped the area, but there were still shards of glass that were very visible. Extremely disappointed in the overall lack of common sense displayed. I will add the caveat that this location always seems to be understaffed. No matter how many customers I see in the store, there is always only one register open, which, again, displays an extreme lack of common sense by management.
