Great Selection

It's always SO tempting to purchase outside of my list in this place. I love this location along with the one on rainbow. Best market.

Pros: Selection, Vegan Products, Health Section

Cons: Location (far)

Seems to be changing

There does seem to be a lot less of vegan foods now than before. Especially frozen packaged items. For instance, they no longer carry frozen vegan cheese pizza and a lot of the Amy's vegan products.

The organic produce department is very small compared to the conventional produce. When something is on sale - grab it! I do like the fact that they carry Organic Valley soymilk. It's something else besides Silk (which I refuse to buy).

I have been after them for almost 9 months now to carry soy whipped cream - I guess they don't read customer feedback forms.

It is indeed "Whole Foods meets Food4Less" but at least it's better than nothing.

Pros: cheaper prices than Whole Foods, larger selection than regular stores, GREAT music over the loudspeakers

Cons: less variety than before, greater attention to customer requests

8/09 update: Organic Valley soymilk is now GONE. Bulk organic herbs are gone. I am now spending less than $100/visit compared to $300+/visit. The manager does NOT seem to care about retaining vegan customers!..
4/09 UPDATE: Now half the bulk organic aisle is gone. What used to be double sided is now just a single side of organic bulk bins. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS STORE? 3/09 UPDATE: They finally started carrying soy whipped cream after almost a year of my weekly customer suggestions. BUT FOR ONLY 2 WEEKS and now its gone. Also stopped carrying VEGAN carob chips. All baking chocolate/chips are Nestle/non vegan. More and more of the vegan products are disappearing. The manager does NOT seem to care about retaining vegan customers!..

12/09 UPDATE: For some strange reason, they carry make-up but NOT mascara. I am not going to mention ANY more vegan products by name, for fear they too will be discontinued. Weekly spending is now around $75 with no cutting back on my part - they just don't carry as many vegan products. And I am still waiting for ANY management response. Even sent messages to corporate office but still no response.

5/10 update.
Maybe 5-10% of the items are vegan. Organic Valley soy milk is gone. I now go in just to buy bulk organics, produce (ONLY if it's on sale) and that's it.

After trying to contact them for over a year, I finally got a response from management. Store mgr sent me an email to tell me to basically "go away", when I tried responding, I discovered he had blocked my email and I couldn't respond.

What kind of store manager does this if they want to keep customers?

Whole Foods meets Food For Less

I used to live right around the corner from this place and I liked shopping there for veg foods. The "poor man's Whole Foods" is an apt description. It's not a mom-and-pop natural food store, it's not a hippy co-op, but it's not a huge, sleek, rich chain, either.

Pros: prices, veg-friendly selection

Cons: meat

love it!

I like to call Sunflower Market the "poor man's Whole Foods." Here we can get our basic soy foods items for far less than at Whole Foods, such as soy yogurt, tofurkey, tofu, veggie burgers, soy milk, etc. Items are fairly priced and there are lots of natural/organic options. The produce section always has a nice selection and is generally nice and fresh, but sometimes not so great. There is a mediterranean bar where you can buy different kinds of olives, artichokes, marinated red peppers, etc. We are vegan, but vegetarian friends like their selection of international cheeses and the like. Their beer and wine selection is also very good. Sadly there is not much of a prepared foods section, but if you just want a vegan friendly grocery store with lower prices, look no further!

Pros: clean, lots of vegan products, fair prices

Cons: no prepared foods, sell meat, no henderson locations:)

My Favorite

Sunflower is much cheaper than Whole Foods or Wild Oats, and Sunflower has a better (yet incomplete) selection of vegan vitamins. The lettuce is funky (very funky), no such thing as a ripe avocado, the bin foods have rancid nuts (I told them long ago, verbally and in writing, but no one does anything about it), but some non-nut bin foods are OK, they do have lots of good vegan items, and at least half of them are pleasant enough. By goods and services, they are better than the rest; by Prices, they are far better than the rest. If you want good veggies in Las Vegas, go to Chi-na-tOWn Ranch 99 Market. But Sunflower is close, cheap, has most of what I need, its my FAVORITE.

Pros: bin nuts rancid, letuce very funky, no ripe avacados ever

Cons: low prices, better vegan selections, some vegan vitamins
