Service was excellent and got a chance to speak with the owner for drink recommendations and the owner was very helpful in helping me make a selection based on my flavor preferences.

The woman at the counter was able to give me suggestions as a new customer. The avocado toast was made with a generous amount of avocado, unlike what was mentioned in other reviews. The recovery smoothie tasted great and they were able to make it without almond butter and milk due to allergies. I've never had their juices before but I tried the sweet green juice and it was very good. I'll be going back. Most likely on the weekend when they are sure to be busy. Hoping the quality of the items and service won't change but will update my review if needed. Otherwise, I will recommend this place to others. Happy to see an organic place well represented in an area where they are in short supply, especially with vegan options.

Nobody smiling and lifeless. I drive by this place about 4 time a day and I absolutely refused to do business here from this experience. After many years, I gave this place another try. To my surprise it was a night and day difference from the first time I walked through the doors. A young lady at the entrance greeting you with a some samples and a big smile. Walked passed the bakery section and heard a very loud "how are you doing today". I almost passed out from someone actually speaking to me. I was in shock. This isn't the same place I visited when it first opened. I look around and see employees smiling and wanting to be there. In the distance I heard laughing coming from the deli and meat department. When I walked up, I was immediately greeted with a smile and asked if I needed any help. They were still in tears laughing by the way which was a nice feeling. So in a nut shell, this is what I think about Sprouts now. Great selection of products. The people are very nice. The Manager's Specials they have are amazing. I saw they had Rotisserie chicken for $.99 and some ham at the deli for $.50/lb. I'm a customer for life now and when I'm done shopping I go next door to Kairo's for a bite to eat.

Even more so than usual, since my ten foot tall Sprinter van does not fit under the overhang. I had to park and walk up. They seemed a little surprised by a walk up guest, but once that moment passed, the barista grabbed an iPad, took my order, and processed payment. Two minutes later, I was handed two hot coffees and we were back on the road. Mrs. K. absolutely loves their Blondie, and I enjoyed a nice drip with a splash of cream. 7 Brew does not overroast their coffee like some other big chains, so the flavor was smooth and pleasant as we drove north on I-85 toward Charlotte. We were both a little disappointed when we reached the bottom of the cup and wished there had been more. [Round number review 25100 overall - review 1550 of 2025 - 1368 in South Carolina]

It doesn't have a drive through and the inside is pretty small, so you may have a line during lunch or other busy times. I went around noon on a Saturday and was the only one in, so it probably just depends. The prices are kinda high, especially if you add anything, but it's a lot more manageable if you download and use the Smoothie King app. You can easily start getting $ off your smoothies, and eventually free smoothies. They also have deals on Fridays to get smoothies, regardless of size, for $5!
