Unfortunately, I had a really frustrating experience at the Albertsons on 3rd Avenue in Chula…read moreVista. I went in to purchase ground beef and noticed that the packages were labeled as 80% lean / 20% fat. I had a coupon for that specific ground beef, but when I went to check out, the coupon didn't apply. I asked for assistance, and the manager working that night told me that I had picked up the wrong product because, according to what was listed in their system, it was a different item. I explained that the packages themselves were clearly labeled 80/20, and she basically told me that the information on their end was different. What frustrated me even more was that instead of acknowledging that the product was incorrectly labeled, she simply said "sorry" and walked away. I went back to the meat section to find the correct product, only to realize that all of the packages were labeled incorrectly. I even took a picture because I wanted to make sure I wasn't mistaken. When I came back and showed the manager the picture, her response was basically, "Hmm, that's weird." At that point, I honestly felt like I wasn't being believed, even though I had literally shown her proof of the incorrect labeling. She eventually tried to work out the price in the system, but what bothered me most was the lack of accountability and genuine apology throughout the situation. Mistakes happen, and I completely understand that. What matters is how you handle them, especially when you're the manager. I shouldn't have had to go back and search through the meat section again because the products were mislabeled in the first place. A simple acknowledgment like, "I'm sorry, these were labeled incorrectly. Let me fix this for you," would have made the situation completely different. I'm leaving this review because I hope management takes situations like this more seriously and makes sure the labeling is corrected so other customers don't run into the same issue.

It even goes great on rice. My sis loves the broccoli cheddar. We both love the tomato basil. There's breads made locally and bread bowls available for purchase. They have samples randomly for fresh fruits and pressed fruit juices. And teeny bread samples to sample the extensive selection of flavored balsamic vinegars (and oil I believe). One year I bought a pumpkin spice balsamic vinegar because it was on clearance and that ish lasted me for years. The staff is incredibly helpful with the products. I asked about something and the cashier insisted on getting it for me before I could have a second thought. He went all the way to the freezer for it. It was for cornbread and The cornbread here is tasty. The store is tidy and spacious. I've never been overwhelmed shopping there. Parking lot is easy to navigate, especially since it's a huge mall parking structure. I love how lots of products are locally made. The breads are either house brand or like an award winning local bakery like Bread & Cie, which I believe is delivered daily because they seem to be stocked always. There's cheesecake variety from Incredibe Cheesecake Company off Adams ave. I forgot which rare spice I had to buy that was hard to find, but the price was most affordable here, so i was able to stock up.

Also, I love the selection of items for those of us with food allergies and special dietary needs. The variety is great and the prices are a bit hefty, but worth it to me.

On this visit, I discovered fresh honeycomb! Very very impressive. I stay away from the olive bar because I always see people picking in there with their own hands....and not using the utensils.

I never really have a difficult time finding things in stock and they are extraordinary when it comes to calling them for stock checks. Roughly 85-90% of the staff I have ever met here have been exceptionally great to be around. I used to bond with one of the girls back in my early 20s when I started coming here in the late 2000s. I know that it's probably an extrovert part of me, but the people who work here are oddly therapeutic to talk to and they make the day easier with their questions. It feels like a family whenever I talk to anyone working the cash register. I love the quality of everything at Trader Joe's. I even use their skincare. Highly recommended and comparable to large brand names for cheaper prices. I don't know how Trader Joe's always knows how to get with the times, but they do a good job most of the time getting down flavors/vibes. The ambiance is easy to navigate, very straightforward layout. I highly suggest going before lunch time/after school rush. Don't be surprised if you meet your soulmate at Trader Joe's! The bright lights and flowing conversations make it easy to talk to randoms. Please invite me if you do meet your soulmate at this one. The card I sign will most likely be from their clever card section selection. Teehee

This market went downhill since it opened…read more There was one occasion where a cashier lady ID me for buying a Monster Energy drink. I was well in my late 20s. And more recently, on July 5th, 2026. The website claims that they have churros. I went in on that day and I didn't see any churros in the display. I didn't see any of the workers besides this older lady setting up the Mexican corn cake station. She was in the pastry section so I asked her where I could find the churros. And she laughed ?!? And shook her head with no words. In her weird lack of customer experience way of letting me know, "No." They also set up these yellow metal bars all over the exit. Good luck trying to get out if you're not buying anything. I had to ask this nice lady if she could let me slide through while she was paying. They don't even have those bars in Mexico. I will not be giving this market - my money.

I had the pleasure of getting a tri-tip quesadilla and it was absolutely delicious. My husband got a tri-tip torta sandwich with avocado and lettuce, etc. Each of your food items comes with a canned soda. I like how you order what you want, then you come to the front and pay for it, so that you can see other things that you may want to buy. Also, you can also add drinks, chips, or other snacks to your order. You can also get whatever you need because they have a convenient market inside of the establishment. Then after you pay, you just go back to the deli counter and you wait for your order. We waited about 10-15 minutes and it was well worth the wait. The tri-tip meat in my quesadilla was very perfectly flavored and the smoke taste was on point. It was so tender and delicious. Bonus situation because this is a wonderful high protein meal. My quesadilla was so big that I was able to save a tiny bit for the next morning as my breakfast. My husband enjoyed his tri-tip tortoise as well. I definitely want to come back and try their other items as they have a full Mexican food, menu, full deli, full butchers counter, and delicious sides available for purchase. Overall, excellent first experience for me.

You get a piece of paper with the sandwich choices on it. Then, you fill it out with which: bread, meat, onions, lettuce, avocado, cheese, etc. on it. The sandwich with a bag of Sprouts chips and a water is $6. Sandwich with a bag of chips and a smoothie is $11. We waited about 15-20mins for our 3 sandwiches. There were other customers who also waited this long for their sandwiches, which is pretty disappointing. They have a lot of fresh meat in the butcher's shelf. There is jerk flavored chicken breasts, cajun spice flavored chicken breasts, and many seasoned kebobs. Everything looked delicious. We enjoyed our sandwiches, they were made well. My rye bread was fresh, the turkey meat had good flavor, and the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. We found a lot of cool things here. Japanese mayonnaise, "Kewpie Mayo". We also saw Lemon Tzatziki Potato chips, we picked up a package of peanut butter cookies on the way out. I hope that they get more efficient at the deli sandwich counter. The time to get a sandwich was way too long.

Omg I love this Sprouts with a passion!…read more First of all.. "Sushi Wednesdays!" The sushi here is good if not better than some sushi spots in Chula Vista. It's pretty fresh and not a fishy taste/smell. They will even take requests. Lately I will call one of my homegirls and yell, "Sushi Wednesdays!" And we will laugh and laugh and make our way over. Do not sleep on chunky cookie time. The singular packed chocolate chip cookies are delicious. Better than some local bakery cookies I have had and cheaper in price, but not quality. This location has my favorite sandwich and smoothie and deli/butcher. They are the friendliest people with hearts waiting to serve and you can tell they like their jobs. They are easy to exchange words with here. The store is clean and organized. I can find way more stuff here than other locations. It is spacious and it has been rare that I have been shopping while it was overly crowded. The crowded area I would say would be the sandwich/smoothie deli during lunchtime for sure because schools/colleges/trade programs in the area will all come and get the lunch specials. The sandwich deal is so smart of them to do because in this economy, it is harder to find a good deal. Back in the day, they used to include sprouts in the sandwiches for free, but now in 2026 I rarely see sprouts sold in stores even. Healthiest smoothie I have had was the green detox, highly recommended. Every single week a different smoothie goes on sale so check the weekly ads for your favorite smoothie. The meat quality is amazing always! I always get chicken, fish, and beef on sale. I have gotten sick before from meats from markets that inject hormones in the meats. I trust Sprouts a lot and have never gotten sick from their raw meats. High quality for sure.
