Health Markets in San Ramon, CA

“If Whole Foods and Trader Joe's produced an offspring, it would be Sprouts. PROS: There are always plenty of employees to answer your questions and provide quick checkouts. They sell lots of interesting products, some healthy and less so. Their paper towels are made from recycled paper. CONS: Prices are higher than what you would find at less expensive supermarkets. Unfortunately, their produce can look aged sometimes since they only receive shipments roughly every other day. However, an employee stocking one of the vegetable bins told me in the future just ask if a fresher item I want is in the back. Surprisingly sprouted wheat bread, which is even healthier than whole wheat, is missing from their baked goods section. Besides its hypothetical "parent stores" I mentioned at the beginning of my review, even Target carries loaves of sprouted wheat.”

“Definitely bit pricier compared to other stores but the quality makes it up for the price we pay. Fruits and vegetables are so fresh. You can notice the difference the moment you enter the store. Amazon locker & returns are some add on convenience. Lot of health options in general.”

“I went to Whole Foods in search of olives to put on a wine and cheese tray. It is incredibly hard to find quality olives at the other grocery stores in the area. Most are just the olives with the pimento in the center. I was really pleased to find a selection of olives that still had the pits in them ranging from green olives to Kalamata olives. They also had many varieties of stuffed olives and I am not just talking about those with pimento but instead stuffed with things like garlic and blue cheese. I will definitely be going back to grab some of those when I am doing my next wine and cheese platter. I also enjoy how helpful and friendly the staff are at this location. They greet you when you enter, ask if they can help you find anything and are so pleasant at checkout. It is always a pleasure to shop here!”
