A good Indian store in Folsom. As the name suggests they carry many of the items from Kerala(state in India). Amex is not accepted here

I've been shopping at Nugget for years, and I probably spend more here than I should. A huge reason…read moreis the people. The customer service is just consistently good, and it makes the whole shopping experience feel different. I also want to give a specific shoutout to Theo. I think he was hired pretty recently, but he's already one of my favorite people there. He has this hilarious, old-timey sense of humor that makes checking out way more fun than it has any right to be. Not curmudgeonly at all. Just quirky, dry, and genuinely funny. I find myself going to his line whenever I see him because I know I'm going to leave laughing. More people should talk about how great the staff is here. Theo is awesome, and he's a perfect example of why I keep coming back.

This is everything grocery shopping should be. The employees are super friendly, there are enough…read moreemployees there that you're not waiting around for anything, there's always someone bagging while the checker works, there are NO self checkout lines (I can't stand self checkout), and you don't have to enter your phone number into anything in order to get the sale prices. In the rare occasions when I'm not able to find something I wanted, it's because it's something so obscure I wind up having to either ordering it online or making a trip to some hidden specialty store in the Bay Area to get it. I've been shopping here for a couple of years. There's another grocery store that's five minutes from my house, but I drive the 20 minutes to shop here because the overall experience is so much better. Today's trip really stood out to me because of a couple things... while I was at the deli waiting for the clerk to work on my order, at least three other employees came up to me and asked if I was being helped. I've been to other stores where I've stood at a counter for literally 5 minutes, watching employees going out of their way to not acknowledge me. That never happens here. Then I was really taken aback by how the peppers and mushrooms were displayed. The fact that whoever stocked these mushrooms took the time to turn every mushroom cap side up and arranged all the portobellos the way they are speaks to a dedication to quality work. You can tell that in this store, nobody half-asses anything, and the employees take pride in what they do.

This is my go to Whole Foods as it's near my work. I finally got my hands on a slice of their berry…read morechantilly cake and it was delicious! I've tried to get the whole cakes here before, but they're always sold out. The bakery workers say they sell out fast, right when they open. You can also order the cakes, but they're always sold have to be at least 48 hours in advance. They also have great deals, like $1 oysters on Fridays if you have Amazon Prime. Their rotisserie chicken is the best grocery store chicken I've had.

Might want to go elsewhere for an Amazon return. First time returning an item here, walked through…read morethe door and immediately saw a return kiosk inside. After scanning my return code, was instructed to place my item in one of the provided plastic bags. Only my item did not fit inside of the bag. Do I just slap a label on the item without the bag? Hmm. None of the FAQ applied to my situation. ie, Item too large for Dropbox? Nope, it will fit inside of that just fine. Too many items to fit inside bag? Try separating them into individual bags. Nope. Only had one item to place in the bag. Sooo. Since it was none of the above, I pressed the get help button. Mainly to see if I was just supposed to forgo the plastic bag part. The kiosk instructed me to wait for an associate and the red light came on. No one came over to help. Had to extend the time on the kiosk 2x. Finally, a RUDE worker came over to let me know that his "preference" was for me to go to the service counter. No apologies for the long wait or lack of signage or instructions to go to the desk. There was no signage stating that employees prefer customers to come to the desk instead of waiting at the kiosk. As a first-time customer, I followed the kiosk's instructions, which told me to wait for an associate. When one finally came over, I was rudely told it was their preference that I come to the desk instead. If that's the preferred process, there should be clear signage or the kiosk should say so. I can tell you what my preference is: clear instructions for customers and courteous service. My preference is also to never return here again.

Love love love this store. This is not the closest store to…read moremy house, but will make the extra little trek to come here because i know they will ALWAYS have what I am looking for and have a very friendly checkout staff. They recently we did their produce display and it looks so cute and is easy to navigate with a farmers market type of feel, so they obviously take great care with the aesthetics of their store. Oh and their produce is top notch and fresh! They have a wide selection of meat and is one of the only stores in town that carry lamb steaks, a weekly favorite in my household. They have delicious baked food items and always have a wide selection. The layout is also easy to navigate and with the large amount of lanes and huge parking lot, stopping in here is always easy.

Some of them can be real stubborn as some older people can be. I have witnessed some of the local customers really let the employees know a piece of their mind. I do like their selection of food such as the hot items, bakery items and their fresh produce section. This store is clean on the outside and inside. If you are wanting to check out a grocery store in Folsom, this is one to look into. I love that they had Kings Hawaiian Ube rolls here. One good thing is that they can sometimes carry specialty items like this.

I live in Elk Grove and haven't visited Sprouts in years. The overall feel of my local store just…read moreIsn't to my liking. But while I was in Folsom for an appointment, I noticed that the Folsom store on E. Bidwell was on my way home and decided to stop in. From the moment I walked through the bakery entrance, the experience was wonderful. The store was clean and immaculate, and Delon (apologies if I've misspelled the name) greeted me warmly in the bakery. His friendly, welcoming manner immediately made me feel comfortable. It may seem like a small gesture, but being greeted with genuine warmth at the start of a shopping trip made the store feel inviting and set a positive tone for my visit. I was still deciding what to make for dinner, so I spent some time near the meat counter. DJ was patient as I looked through the options and never made me feel rushed while I figured out what I wanted. We chatted about dinner ideas for the cooler weather, and his suggestions helped me think through my options. I ultimately decided on lasagna soup and picked up prepackaged Italian sausage, but DJ still took the time to let me know I could come back to the counter if I needed anything else. That willingness to help--even when I didn't end up buying from the counter--made a real impression. In the pasta aisle, Kevin was unpacking items and greeted me warmly as well. He let me know he was available if I needed help finding anything. I appreciated that he was focused on keeping the shelves stocked while still noticing and acknowledging customers. His offer made it easy to ask for help if I needed it, without interrupting my shopping or making me feel like I was on my own. As I approached the registers, Erin was straightening items near the checkout area and offered to help me check out when I was ready. She was attentive without rushing me, and her offer made the transition from shopping to checkout feel smooth and easy. It was another thoughtful interaction that showed the team was paying attention to customers throughout the entire store--not just at the service counters. From the moment I entered the store through checkout, the team made me feel welcome and well cared for. These interactions may have been brief, but each employee showed attentiveness, patience, and a genuine willingness to help. That kind of customer-focused service can turn an ordinary grocery trip into a positive experience and is increasingly hard to find. I'm not sure who manages the store, but it's clear that customer experience is a priority. If I lived in Folsom, you'd have a new regular customer. I also appreciated the grab-and-go protein options, which seem especially well suited to the store's location next to a gym. Throughout my visit, employees were busy stocking shelves and filling gaps, yet they remained attentive and friendly. Even an online shopper, whose name I didn't catch, came across as focused and considerate of the customers around him. Please pass along my thanks to Delon, DJ, Kevin, Erin, and the rest of the Folsom team for making this such a positive visit. Their service reflected well on the store and on Sprouts as a whole.

The chickpea flour is currently on sale for just **$0.38 per pound**, down from the regular price of **$3.89 per pound**. I was getting ready to fill several bags from the bulk bin when Mario from the produce department let me know they had an already- filled opened bag with just a couple pounds of the contents missing about 38 pounds in the back. That saved me the time and effort of emptying the bin, which probably would have taken close to an hour! Mario taped up the bag securely, I checked out and Mario even brought it out to my car. Thank you, Mario, for going above and beyond above with your outstanding customer service. I truly appreciate your kindness and willingness to help, you made my shopping experience exceptional!
