We love checking out natural health food shops anyways so we were excited to go. The shop was a little smaller than what I thought it would be since there were no photos of inside the store. People mentioned in other reviews that there's fresh organic produce but there wasn't as much as I thought there would be (about 3 small shelves in the fridge of 3 different things - apples, cabbage) and there was some squash out on display as well. Maybe there's more variety on certain days when it's restock day. When we walked in the person working wasn't wearing a mask but then put one on and asked us to wear them. There is not currently an indoor mask mandate for LA county (people are also no longer required to wear them in airports or on planes) so we didn't like that we had to wear a mask. We browsed the shop and there was some cool items but they didn't carry Ceylon cinnamon.

I love how their tuna is not overly dressed with mayo, so it's healthier. And I asked for extra lettuce and tomatoes so it was so refreshing!!!

I found their Instagram and website following another vegan owned business. Their website is…read morehttps://veganforall.com/collections/shop-now . They are a vegan meat alternative wholesale market and they currently have affordable bundles for sale to the public. I've been watching most of Tony's (owner and founder) videos on instagram on how to prepare the meat and also how to use them for the most delicious recipes. He is very informative in all his videos. I had several questions regarding his products, and whoever answered my messages on Instagram was quick! I got the bundle with Vegan bacon slices, drumsticks, and sunny side up eggs. The first thing I made were the drumsticks. I thought it was awesome that the "meat" is attached to sugar cane. It's pretty much a dual purpose because you can "make a drink" from them afterward. I had the drumsticks fried in oil by itself, and another pack steamed with mushrooms and beyond sausages. They were really good and I was happy that they were not that salty because most vegan packaged food I have tried are. I fried the eggs and bacon in oil as well. The bacon was on point and not as salty as actual bacon. It can be crispier as well if you like them prepared that way. The eggs tasted like hard boiled eggs. According to one of Tony's videos, the "egg white" is made out of tofu and the "yolk" is made out of mung beans. The drumsticks come with 6 pieces in one package, bacon has 10 in a package, and eggs are also 10 in a package. I will definitely order from them again to try their chicken breast, shrimp, tuna, and jerky!

Came by Sprouts in Alhambra to check out their deli sandwiches and honestly, this is a really solid…read moredeal. Sandwiches start at just $4.99 and they use Boar's Head meats, which already puts it above your typical grocery store sandwich. You can choose from their preset options or build your own. I went with a turkey sandwich on sourdough with all the add-ons, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. They'll even toast the bread for you, which makes a big difference. What really stood out is the value--you can load up your sandwich and still keep it under $10. They also have combo options where you can get a drink and a bag of chips for $5.99, making it an easy and affordable meal. Quick, convenient, and budget-friendly. Definitely a good spot if you're in the area and need a simple lunch.

See hilarious review below by Robert H!…read more I would like to add my 2 cents on the sandwich situation, which depending on the time of the day you hit up the deli, can be very dire. The older Hispanic ladies who make the sandwiches in the morning = amazing. Love them. They are warm, kind, quick, and attention-detailed. The sandwiches they make? Literally chef's kiss! Heaven on earth! Now onto the men who the make the sandwiches later in the day. Complete night and day. Watching them make sandwiches is like watching Down Syndrome people compete in the Special Olympics or the infants race in those baby crawl races. No directions, no focus, no sense of urgency. Think of the slothes working at the DMV from Zootopia. They talk to each other. They stare at the sandwich order print outs. They make the sandwiches haphazardly. And they still get the sandwiches wrong! How can you make sandwiches wrong when the pace has been so leisurely?? In conclusion, can Sprouts please please please, for the love of God (or the universe if you're an atheist), hire more ladies to work during the lunch times and evening times?!

I will def come back to try their sugar cane.

So let's get in to itI gave 5 stars BECAUSE the STAFF they are so good at keeping up a brave face,…read morethey are so professional despite what they've had to endure. I'll elaborate, their is currently a special incentive going on with EBT recipients and the Mother's Nutrition. These deals are great!! They help family's stretch that dollar and insure the security of having fresh food available. It's a wonderful program. Unfortunately theirs been some terrible outcome because of it. The store is ALWAYS busy and it's never that calm, quick and easy service as is expected when going to a Mother's Nutrition. I literally have to mentally prep my self to go to the store because its overwhelming dealing with the other customers. They have been so rude, disrespectful & careless. I've had to experience smokers upon my arrival, stand right by my vehicle while I get my son off just smoking like its their right, it was never like that before. Until this program began and from what I gather it's the men related to the people shopping in the store. Whoever they are they should know better than to smoke by a store that is highly noted as a Expecting Mother's and infants shopping establishment. The employees try to regulate these people's behaviors as best they can but they can only do so much. Something needs to be done. Im a LONG time shopper. Ive been shopping here for the past 5yrs with my son and the past couple of years since this incentive began it's been awful. I called and spoke with Kathy and Sam from corporate a week ago, and they told me that they've done their absolute best but I'm writing today because I was just at the store yesterday and what I witnessed inspired a few solutions. Kathy I thank you for your time the other day, you did spend ALOT of time on the phone with me and heard me out. That is appreciated, greatly. The team/staff of this store needs to be praised and Congratulated for ALL THEIR EFFORTS. I understand like you said Kathy, they are employees and they have a job to do but at the end of the day they are just human and have limits. So I continue to note how they ALL just keep preserving and keeping up a pleasant demeanor. The shoppers that come in for the incentive majority of the time don't speak English or put on a act like they don't speak English, they challenge your employees every moment they can, they have no respect for staff or other shoppers. If they see WIC shoppers being shown preference they want to argue and cause stress and unnecessary problems. We lost the resource of the pickup service because these non wic shoppers abused it, and overwhelmed the staff with orders. They not only over ran the store but they overwhelmed the pick up service. Being a single mother with multiple disabilities & having a child with autism that pick up service was a God send. Kathy you need to go to the store and experience the disruption first hand. It's not fair to the staff to have deal with everything these non wic shoppers bring. First suggestion is, get a parking attendant out there before these people cause more grief out in the parking lot and accidents. Second suggestion get security that monitors the door and the store front so no one is smoking outside. Third suggestion, since we can't limit the hours on non wic members shopping how about we have someone serve them fruit samples or water while they wait in line. Fourth suggestion keep wic members priority(I do see this implemented at my store just wanted to keep it in the suggestions) Fifth suggestion make it clear to the non wic shoppers that they do not receive the same preferences as wic members. Make cards for them or get a translator that can communicate with them because most if not all want to act like they can't speak English. Lastly I suggest you give the team/staff members at Mother's Nutrition El Monte an Award for giving 110% of themselves to keep their Wic shoppers happy and cared for, putting their safety on the line to protect your WIC shoppers. Kathy this team/staff the store itself is well stocked they are doing their best every day but they really need to be acknowledged for their efforts. Don't get on them for not being able to control the behaviors of others that's not in their job title. I keep going back because I'm loyal to that team, I see what they've got to endure and I am so proud of them. So I keep bracing the struggle and discomfort because no matter what they always make me and my son feel welcomed and safe. My son loves the store and I do too it's less than a few minutes from my house. We've been going their for 5rys now. I really don't want to stop but the non wic shoppers are just relentless and they make things so much harder Please don't be harder on the staff help them out in any way that shows gratitude and real support. Bring back the pick up service for wic members only, it's not fair to us mother's. Your stores started out being a safe and easy place FOR MOTHERS to shop.
