I came here on opening weekend three years ago, and I have loved it ever since! I know that people…read moreonline have been complaining about the prices, but honestly, I think the prices are comparable to Publix.

Some may not remember this but years ago, Brevard County had quite a few options when it came to…read morealternative groceries. On US-192 in Melbourne, we had Lucky's. On Murrell Rd. up in Rockledge, we had Earth Fare. And of course there are the constant rumors of finally having a Whole Foods here. But for some reason, what we had just suddenly closed. We did have local alternative groceries, which I am thankful for, but I know a larger alternative grocery would provide more options. Ergo, I am happy Sprouts decided to open here in Melbourne, FL, especially since I got to experience them in Tampa because my sister is a regional manager for their personal health department. Located on Hollywood Blvd., in the same plaza as LA Fitness Palm Bay, Sprouts is a stand-alone store that provides many of the same options both Lucky's and Earth Fare had. They have all the typical grocery departments including a bakery, deli, produce, personal health, and such. They do have an ambiance similar to our local Downtown Produce and the Thrifty Produce located in Rockledge on Eyester Blvd. For example, above their milk and diary wall, their signage is framed within a dairy farm setting. Other sections have old-time farmer's market signage above them complete with corrugated metal roofing and treated wood panels. Much of the base grocery is alternative healthier choices from what mainstream groceries provide. However, what stands out are their produce, meat and deli, and bakery. Everything is made fresh, and most are in-house. They provide freshly-squeezed juices, fresh-cut veggies and fruits, and pre-made meals that you can take home and cook. My personal favorite section is the personal care section, which provides alternative personal care and health options that actually work, from what I see. I definitely like the CBD gummies that provide sleep. There is much more to explore when I eventually go back here to Sprouts. For now, I am going to give the store a four out of five stars. They have everything you may want in an alternative grocery. The prices may be a little high, but that seems to be the case when it comes to quality. That is why Publix prices are usually higher than places like Walmart or Food Lion and so on. If this Sprouts remains consistent on their four-star quality and service on average (I'll give them a bad day or two), then they'll earn their fifth star for consistency.

But I love The Fresh Market and especially this one! Today they had Alaskan wild caught crab legs on sale. Now they're not usually in my budget but I decided to splurge except it was hard to get decent ones in my price range which was about a pound, pound and a half. The gentleman behind the meat counter (that was today, Friday, September 26 at about 12:30 PM) he was absolutely the best. He gave me a pound and a half breaking up a bag and taking out all the loose little bits so I didn't wind up with just shells. That was ao kind! It's clean, everyone is very friendly, it can get busy but they take it all in stride. If I could afford to do all my grocery shopping here, I would. It's always pleasant to walk into, it smells nice, the entrance is a little funky but that's just the design. People don't put their baskets up so it can block the entrance. That's not the store's fault and they do mind them often so it's not a permanent problem. I've had only one bad experience and it was in the bakery a few years ago. Everybody else has been so accommodating! I've been to their other stores in and around South Florida. They're all nice and clean but honestly, this is my favorite store hands-down. Don't come talking to me about Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, it's The Fresh Market for me!

I ordered the fish Reuben. It was like "a party in your mouth" as one of the workers said. I'm still thinking about this sandwich and must go back before I leave town.

I also loved the interior with the jungle atmosphere, and I couldn't get over that it was tucked next to the market. I can't say enough positive things about this restaurant!! So FANTASTIC!! I will be back!!

On the other side they charge a premium so much so that it ends up being even more expensive than in California itself (and California is expensive as hell already). However, there is one product for which I am willing to forget the price: muesli. The brand in the white and green package is top notch and delicious, even though it costs almost $7 a pack.

I live in the Melbourne/Palm Bay area of Brevard County/Space Coast and I can tell you the options…read morefor organic, green, and/or alternative goods are far and few in between. We have Lucky's Market on US-192 along with other stores, but if you live in Palm Bay like I do, it can be a hastle to drive out there just to shop. That is why I love the Paradise Health Foods chain. I usually go to the one on Minton Rd., but this time, I went to the store on Malabar Rd. If all you want is a limited selection of groceries and/or alternative health goods, this place is a-okay. Paradise Health Foods & Cafe (which I will shorthand simply to Paradise for the rest of this review), is specifically located in the Publix Shopping Plaza near the Malabar Rd. entrance/exit for I-95. It is a small store in comparison to its other locations and only holds certain groceries and health products. As a result, it may not be the best place to shop if you are looking for organic greens, breads, or a wider shopping selection. That doesn't mean Paradise is a bad place whatsoever. It is the closest store for those living in Bayside Lakes. Ergo, for getting a thing or two quickly, it is a blessing. Not to mention, it is right near other stores that do have such options the sister stores do have. Publix may not be known for being a green or alternative grocery store, but I do trust their produce as much as the Paradise chain. And believe it or not, Walmart does have some of the goods Paradise does have at a cheaper price. Overall, Paradise is a great store. They do pale in comparison to the Minton Rd. store but that is fine. For what they have, they do a phenomenal job.

Over the last three years or so, the Melbourne/Palm Bay area has opened up more and more…read morealternative health stores. However, the first one that I know of is Paradise Health & Nutrition on Malabar Rd. (NOTE: I Reviewed that location too) in the Publix Shopping Center. However, there is another Paradise location in this area and it is located near the intersection of Minton Rd. and Palm Bay Rd. It is also the location I consider to be the better of the two for many reasons which I will explain. First and foremost, Paradise near Palm Bay Rd. (I will just shorthand this location to "Paradise" for ease or writing and reading purposes) is a much bigger location than the one near Publix. It is like three times the size. With such a space, there can also be more options besides that of an alternative over-the-counter drug store. To me, this Paradise is a shopping center as they sell other things like alternative health books, essential oils, organic fruits and veggies, gluten-free pre-made foods, and much more. The staff was very friendly too. One of the workers helped me find alternative oral hygiene products. Now my teeth no longer hurt! He also helped me pick out the rignt essential oils, one used for headache and sleep. It also helps that the restrooms were clean despite them being private Overall, I give this place an easy perfect score. Until something really pushes it down like a higher price, than this is my go-to when Iam buying more than one item. Sorrry but since I do live closer to the one at the Publix, I will go there for any quick run purchases. Otherwise, this location it is.

Some of the items were ringing up with the wrong price (more expensive) at the register so good thing I remembered how they were priced on the shelf.

So that's good customer service. Again I recommend this store, just make sure to pay attention to prices at register.
