COVID-19 AWARENESS UPDATE

Our support for our community runs deep and although we are unable to see many of our customers in our store front, we are still here for you! 

Starting June 1, 2020 our hours of operation have changed to 10:30-7:00pm, Monday to Saturday. Orders may only be for pick up or delivery.

We thank you for allowing us to serve those in need and for being a part of our story. We look forward to sharing our meals with you in person once more when we can open our doors as a regular restaurant again. In the meantime, we thank you.

Feel good. Eat well.

About Sprout

We've got more heart than lettuce. More juice than any tapioca. Sometimes a little spicy, but always cool. Sprout is all about fresh ideas mixed with the best ingredients that will leave any taste bud wanting more. It's about the idea that gourmet doesn't mean top dollar. It's the healthier, cost-conscious part of you that is just waiting to get out - all in a friendly environment.

Our goal: to break the stereotype that fast and affordable food is neither healthy nor tasty. We push ourselves to bring great ideas and good food to you.

Stop by, have a bite and say hello.
