This place is more of a 4.5 star review than a 4 star. The only thing keeping it peaked out at 5…read morewas what they had in-stock. And to be fair, that was probably more about a deal they were running at the time than any flaw the store had. I was up in the air between here and GNC and chose here because of a promotion they were running on protein that day. It was about a 25% savings over GNC; which, when you're on a budget but need them gains, always helps. The only issue was the items that were on sale were almost all gone because a man had just come in and purchased 7 bottles of the same protein. (So again, not really their fault.) The staff was incredibly helpful, and knowledgeable, taking the time to walk-through what was better about one brand over another and not making me feel like they were upselling me on anything I didn't need. I wound up getting some protein, and a few other supplements that I had been wanting to try and saving some money in the process. Will definitely be going back to this spot in the future.

Over the years some of the employees have changed but all employees that I have spoken with have always been very professional and willing to give advice that is backed up with a lot of of knowledge. I last spoke with Lenny on the phone to place my order. There's an "old school" feel to how orders take place (over the phone talking about nutrition) and it's very much appreciated. Prices are extremely competitive with other supplement companies.

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.

They have raw milk, kefir, and yogurt (I think) delivered from Keely Farms Dairy on Wednesdays. They also carry a few of my favorites, like Lesser Evil popcorn and Hu Chocolate.

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.

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.

If you're looking for a market that's something like Whole Foods , look no further than Sprouts!!…read more I was so excited to find this market here in Melbourne. When I visit here I'm usually very hard pressed to find a selection of organic, healthy ready made foods, great produce , kombucha choices and a good variety of my usual staples of high protein low carb ,vegetarian and even some vegan dairy items for other friends and family. I have been here for two weeks and been to Sprouts three times!! They had the best peaches I've had in past memory. For family members I found balsamic glazer cherry salmon with roasted vegetables ready to simply bake, which we did and they loved. Not as much of a selection of vegetarian ready to eat sandwiches or meals as I would have expected. But there was a delicious apple quinoa pumpkin seed and kale side salad that I couldn't stop eating. Lovely selection of baked goods, gluten free, vegan and for the rest of us just regular! Excellent service from really friendly and helpful staff. Well worth stopping in

She showed me all over the store and…read morefinally I decided on some really great Alaninu pre work out powder, I'm standing next to her at the shelf and the product is $39 (which I think is expensive) but there is a tag that says "buy one, get one free". Whoo Hoo! I grab two and head to the resister where she proceeds to check me out, mentioning how I saved $20. I say "I thought it is buy one, get one free". She states that its "buy one, get one 1/2 off". I don't argue just paid the balance and checked the price on my way out. Sure enough the tag says "buy one, get one free". I show Jennifer and she removed 8 tags from the shelf in front of the product and genuinely apologizes. She then calls her manager to explain the scenario and the outcome was "sorry, no overrides allowed". No refund for the mislabeled product. I understand mistakes can happen and Jennifer did fix the issue, but feel they should have honored the price posted. This is why the low rating.
