Best grocery store in Pinole, California (CA) 2024

My wife and I really wanted a baby breeza formula maker to make life easier in terms of feeding our newborn. So, today we bought one from this Pinole branch and as we open it with excitement, we are soon very disappointed. We find out this $250 machine was used. The machine had old mold residue, water in the tank and had mold inside of it. Our machine was also missing pieces. We tried calling multiple times but we didn’t get any response. We’re highly disappointed. Target says they genuinely care about the customers health, but this action speaks the opposite. Why wouldn’t the store check the returned items before trying to resale? My newborn could've gotten extremely Ill if I didn’t inspect this item. We demand answers Target. Sincerely, An extremely disappointed customer. ~Jermaine

This store is OK, although the selection is pretty limited and some items are very overpriced and only sold in small packages, you have to buy tons of them. Some breads and hamburger buns are regularly out of stock. When they are restocked they usually are sold out very quickly. The Orowheat Russian Rye bread has not been restocked for almost half a year now for some inexplicable reason, even though it is being restocked everywhere else in the area, and this Sprouts is still restocking all of their other products like Jewish Rye and Dark Rye. Would be nice if this store had more items in bulk, like hash browns for example. Instead of making someone buy like 12 bags of hash browns to last their family one week, it'd be nice to have just one or two big "family size" bags. It would also be nice if the prices were lower, and also if they had more products available. For example, the cereal section contains pretty much no popular brand cereals. Popular shampoo brands like Head & Shoulders can't be found in the shampoo aisle. Not even common, affordable soap brands. The shopping baskets are also kind of cheaply made and painful to carry for extended periods of time. The metal handles are thin and dig into your fingers. Would be nice if they had thicker or perhaps plastic/rubber coated handles on them Other than that, it's not bad. ~David

Great prices. Great sales. I rarely shop here, but that will probably change. And make sure you don't shop there on the 1st or 15th. The EBT crowd is filling up thier carts and you'll be in line until your ice cream melts. ~SF2TOKYO

Friendliest staff I have ever met at a grocery store. Thank you for the kind and good service every time. ~Lakisha
