Earthfare in West Knoxville offers a great variety of organic produce, grass-fed meats and other…read morefood without artificial preservatives and sweeteners. It can be pricey, though, unless the products are on sale. NormalIy I would rate them much higher; however, today's visit left me wondering whether I should return. While the employee behind the meat and seafood counter provided helpful customer service, the other employees I encountered did not. One of the sale items that brought me in this day -- baguettes for 50 cents each. What a deal, I thought, as I later reasoned that the ad: "SAVE 50 cents each" -- meant the loaf did not cost a half dollar. As I walked through the bakery/deli aisle, I saw only one baguette in a large display basket. The price, $3.29 with 50 cents off if one also purchased a pound of chicken salad. The solo employee visible in the deli had his back to me as he was busy with a task. When I caught his attention, I asked him where I might find the baguettes. He said, "back there." i asked him if there were more. He said he didn't know and didn't offer to assist. As he returned to his task and with no eye contact, he added, "They must be sold out." I walked back to the lone baguette as another bakery/deli employee emerged. I asked her if it was on sale. She didn't know and instructed me to take it to checkout where the cashier would know. WRONG. He did know that customers would get 50 cents off if they also purchased chicken salad, so I brought up the ad on my phone displaying baguettes at 50 cents off with no chicken salad attached. Such a small issue, yet with a reputation as a top-notch store, one would think customers might encounter employees skilled in top-notch customer service and product knowledge.

I am happy to have EarthFare in West Knoxville. These days, there are not many true "health food /…read moreorganic" stores. That concept is dominated by Whole Foods and/or incorporated within regular grocery stores. All that said, EarthFare is a unique place and very convenient for those of us in this part of town. I really like the unique assortment of items here. Great produce, bakery, meats, bulk nuts/snacks, and cheese. They also have some really good deals from time to time. Seriously, you can actually find a few bargains here. The prepared food is good too. But, the hot bar is inconsistent. Hard to know when they'll have food or if it'll be good. They could easily improve on this. Same with the yogurt selection -- it's pretty sparse. Overall: Good local/regional healthy grocery store. I recommend giving them a try.

Sprouts Farmers Market is a chain of organic/healthy grocery stores. It is like a smaller version…read moreof Whole Foods or Earthfare (similar in size to a Trader Joes). You'll find an array of fresh produce, meats/deli, bulk foods (nuts, granola), and vitamins. When it comes to food, I think that more options are always a good thing. So, I welcome the arrival of this store. But, for me, it is mixed bag on whether Sprouts has an advantage over its peers in this category. For produce: I was impressed with the selection of items. It seems like they have an assortment of fresh items that I haven't seen elsewhere. For example, they had a large display of organic papayas -- something that isn't prominently sold elsewhere. The meats/seafood: Prepackaged items were priced around the same as competitors and they have store brand items. The meat case was more expensive than Earthfare. Bulk foods: This is an area where Sprouts excels. Larger selection than other stores. I didn't see as many prepared foods and there is no hot bar, pizza, or quick service foods. If you start delving into items, I found the prices to be a little higher on average. But, there are also store brand items that are unique to Sprouts and may be good choices. Also, if you are looking for things like kombucha, Earthfare is better for selection. Overall: A decent option for organic foods. Check them out and sign up for their rewards program.

Probably the best I have had at a Whole Foods in quite some time. Parking was ample at this location and boy did they need it when I visited. The lot was packed and it was wall to wall people inside at this location. Everything looked full and fresh and well presented throughout. It was nice to visit this location. It's kind of hard to see from the interstate. So don't miss pulling off here if you are in town..

Specific to Amazon grocery delivery: This is now the second…read moretime our groceries were not delivered. There is a button on one's Amazon page to "contact driver": the driver spoke English well enough only to tell me she had no groceries for delivery. I called the store and they gave me...Amazon's main telephone number. Look: I understand Amazon "runs" the grocery delivery service but it is completely ridiculous that the store has no way to confirm if a delivery was actually loaded for delivery. Amazon, on their end, "only sees the delivery is running late and it is possible the driver listed it not the one doing the delivery." Excuse me?? How do the store AND Amazon have no way to track who actually has the delivery? There is jo oversight or accountability on either end. The best: I get to call Amazon back to tell them it wasn't delivered but I have to wait an hour. Our groceries were shopped for (one item out of stock) and the driver kept saying: she had groceries but not ours (I never gave her an address????) and she didn't do the 4:45 block. And there were other people in the car telling her how to answer. So: who is riding around with our dinner? For the second time?! Truly disgusted. Cancelling my grocery subscription. No oversight between store and delivery, and the poor girl answering the phone must hear it often, because she meekly gave me the number without mentioning: it's the general Amazon number, too, not even grocery specific.
