Jojuan and Leanne especially are always going the extra mile to make sure I found everything I needed. After a long day of work and having to get errands done.

I really love stopping by this Alameda grocery store in the Marketplace on my way back to Oakland…read more They have produce, many dairy (and non-dairy) selections, healthy snacks, sauces, vitamins, beer, and beauty/ skincare products. It's also in the marketplace where you can find baked goods, meats, cheeses, and wine-- as well as to-go dining options like sushi, Mediterranean food, and salads/ sandwiches. Everyone is kind and helpful. There are plenty of parking options in the parking lot. It's organized and clean.

Apparently, lots of vendors display their works here so there is plenty of variety from clothes, cards, crystals, jewelry, pottery, hats, books, bags and more. If you can't find something here for yourself, a loved one, a gift to a non loved one or your home then you won't find it anywhere!!! We walked out of there with a little guy made from obsidian, a stone for protection and to ward of negative energy. Not sure about that since Indians used obsidian to make arrowheads for hunting. Still cool little guy!!!! Next door to Vinyl Wine Bar so after you loosen up yoir wallet with a couple bottles of wine be sure to browae and buy here.

I purchased a cute little guy made out of obsidian - we've named him Cidian - a rock that is supposed to protect from negative energies. And if you knew half of what I deal with day-to-day, you would know just how much need this protection. I might stock up on these. Will definitely return in any event for additional items for myself or others. Nice shop, glad to have it in Alameda.

A poor experience. I ordered online where they claimed to offer a BOGO discount. I went to pick up…read morethe items and was told my order was canceled because they did not have the turmeric tablets (that showed in stock). They had OTHER turmeric tablets though. Could I buy those? Sure. Would I get the BOGO discount? "Oh no, that's for online orders only." Later that night I got an email saying my order was canceled , they had neither of the items in stock. Offer discount, cancel the order, sell at full price once the customer arrives. Not a great business model, GNC.

The…read morecustomer service has really gone downhill (rude and unhelpful and suspicious staff) and they're selling food that is NOT FRESH. Let me start with those sunflower and date cookies that are supposed to be "freshly baked." Not so. Stale as can be! And the store refused to take them back or offer a refund or store credit. The "organic" white and yellow popcorn. STALE! I tried 3 different methods of popping with stale results all 3 times. Staff's reaction? Defensiveness and no offer of a reasonable solution...had to "match" the price to another item of the same value. Ridiculous. Honestly, I thought I was in Farmer Joe's for a minute! Finally, that bulk "large flake" yeast can be sketchy looking. Strange dark blotches of who-knows-what mixed in. This I did not take back...I just threw it out. Never shopping there again...I detest rude and unfriendly staff at a business where I'm spending my sparse, fixed income money!

Today I was treated very poorly by a female sales person with glasses. Having little experience with how the store works (customers weight their own items before approaching the cashier for payment and confusion regarding the coffee pricing which was unclear to me). She lead me around a corner where no one could hear her and was very rude to me. I left the store without making a purchase. When products are average and service is good - I always return. When products are good but I am treated poorly - it doesn't work for me. It's unfortunate because the store could be very useful to me.

5-Star Review for Uriah at Sprouts…read more I wanted to take a moment to recognize Uriah for the exceptional customer service he consistently provides. I have been shopping at this Sprouts location for years, and he is truly one of the best employees I have ever encountered. Uriah is always knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely pleasant. No matter how busy the store is, he takes the time to help customers with a positive attitude and a smile. His attention to detail and commitment to customer service never go unnoticed. One thing I particularly appreciate is his dedication to food safety and cleanliness. I've observed him changing his gloves appropriately when preparing sandwiches and meals, which demonstrates both professionalism and respect for customers. What stands out most is his consistency. Every interaction with Uriah is positive. He is helpful, approachable, hardworking, and clearly takes pride in his work. Employees like him are a major reason I continue to shop at this location. Sprouts is fortunate to have him on the team. If there were a higher rating than 5 stars, I would gladly give it. Uriah is truly a 100/10 and deserves recognition for the outstanding job he does every day.

I was offered a free taster of chocolate candy. That was fun. I love the store colors. It's a grounding experience. Nearby are nice, clean benches and tables for sitting, taking in the sun, and eating some of your favorite treats, from them or nearby Chipotle. The prices were competitive. I had a taste for crab patties. They had some ground crab, however. I hope they will consider carrying crabcakes one day. Otherwise, I rate this place a 10. Yummy desserts.

There are lots of Instacart shoppers running around amongst all of the downtown Oakland workers stopping here for their groceries. generally, I have found that the worst day is Sunday.
