Never knew such a respected herbalist store was so close to our home. My wife and I stopped in on…read morethe first day of H2 2026, and found a lot of interesting things, some of which we bought and others we will save for later. Kelly helped us to gather and purchase three things: small dried chinese ginseng root ($9), Herbal Tea Blend ($6) to hopefully remediate canker sore symptoms, and a custom made herbal oil ($20) for natural pain management. She spent quite a bit of time with us, since the last two things needed the backroom to custom formulate. Square is their payment processor, with credit cards and Venmo being accepted. Types of product: -- a large collection of herbs, available as single ($10 per oz) or combined ($15 per oz). -- donated herbs and dry goods section: visitors can place or take shelf-stable products. Would have thought -- collective: various donation based sponsored clinics/classes. one example is 'Intro to Herbalism', taught once a month (first Saturday of every month). -- chocolates from Endorfin foods -- custom made essential oils, with testers -- incense sticks and sets -- loose teas at $3 - $4 per oz -- books and literature -- apothecary supplies -- gemstones and tarot cards The inside is super organized, promoting a sense of calm to explore. Kinda reminded me of some of the shops in Sedona, AZ. Their website is also very good, neatly organized to help you find what you need. Parking is limited (one driveway spot for customers), but street parking in the area during the day is not so bad. I think the best description about their business is what they wrote about themselves: "Green Wisdom provides highest quality bulk herbs, ethically sourced, and apothecary ingredients and supplies. We have a skilled herbalist on staff at all times to answer questions, create personalized formulas, and offer assistance. We are also one of the most respected herb schools in California, offering apprenticeships, workshops, and individual classes. In 2020 we will be providing donation-based herb clinics staffed by our advanced apprentices and overseen by trained herbalists."

Green wisdom is one of those quaint gems in the downtown neighborhood that I would be truly…read moredevastated if they ever closed. This is the only herbal apothecary in the area that I'm aware of and it's also one of the few affordable apothecaries in Long Beach. You can tell their mission is really to make herbal remedies and medicine from the earth accessible to everyone. All of the women I've encountered who work at and run this door are deeply knowledgeable. My favorite activity is to go here with some type of issue or ailment and to ask them to make me a custom tea blend to help support my body's healing capacity. But this place is so much more than tea and herbs! It's a lovely little marketplace which features crystals locally made honey and handmade trinkets of all kinds! Every visit feels like a unique, tiny adventure and I look forward to coming every single time.

It is a fish market and the lines are long but it goes fast…read more We ordered the fish, scallop and shrimp plate with fries. All of this was fried and the fish is red snapper. Also the Mahi Mahi and grilled shrimp plate with rice. Absolutely delicious. And the dungeness crab. Yum! Also if you want a hammer for the crab, it's a $2 deposit. They refund you after you return it. Obviously had to get the clam chowder in a bread bowl. Absolutely worth it. All of this cost $130. Mostly cuz of the crab at 29.99/lb. Bread bowls were $16 (we ordered 2) And the plates were less than $25 each. Plenty of seating around.

If you're planning to come here and try this place after watching a YouTuber. Don't do it, they got…read morepaid to say nice things, you pay to taste bland mediocre overpriced foods. Went on Sunday for a quick brunch. Ordered grilled halibut plate, wife ordered fish and scallops, topped it off with a clam chowder and two sodas. Total came out to be around 65$. Fish was just grilled with a ton of oil on the same griddle as everything else, seasoning consists of old bay and that is it. Bland, old bay seasoning. Fish and chip was bland, no flavor. Clam chowder had minimal clams and mainly thick soup base. So unless you think those YouTubers are coming there to say nice things, edit the video, and then post it so they can make content money. Don't waste your time and money.

I still enjoy a good browse. I found these chips at another market and fell in love. Here, they had different flavors and they were $3 cheaper on sale. They have a bbq counter I've never tried at other stores. I saw a sign they had these new sandwiches and a rib one was an option. Took me back to childhood, hell ya. The guy that made it was an older gentleman, no name tag but super sweet. I saw they pickle their onions and make their pickles in house. Dope! This one had a Dr. Bronners refill station which was pretty cool! Stores clean, employees are great, again they had the LB merch section and envirotokens. I appreciate the place this store holds in my rotation, and I could totally go for another rib sando!

I'm a big fan of their meats, produce, and snack line up. What makes this spot stand out is the variety of health based bites. I love trying unique snack and beverage brands and Lazy Acres always has something new for me to explore. I also enjoy their high quality meat selection. I never question if I'm getting the best. Highly recommend exploring this spot when you get a chance. Warning, it's an expensive addiction.

At first I thought "Well this is definitely not a red velvet bundt cake." HAHA, but the cracker sample was so good, I had to buy a bag. And the bag was so good, I'm almost done with it in a single sitting and I had to come write a review.... The taste: Wonderfully salted and peppered and whatever else spice is on it. The heat is perfect - spicy enough to make you want to drink water, but not too spicy to make you cry or your ears pop. Texture: Crumbles perfectly. Made me think it was a Cheez-It at first (because I didn't know what I was eating). But it definitely has a saltine texture to it. I just learned about this today and I love love love this stuff!!!

The chicken was amazing. I could honestly just munch on it all night without anything else. This place is a bit pricey (asada was $20 a pound), but you do get what you pay for. Overall, a great spot for getting meat if you're in the neighborhood.

My friend and I ordered up front and got to pick our own table. Most of it is self-serve aside from the food, so there was a water station and area to grab extra napkins and utensils as needed. There was outdoor seating so we decided to sit closest to the street for a different vibe! For the food, I got the steak and eggs. I was so blown away! Both the steak and eggs were cooked to perfection. The steak melted in my mouth and tasted so good with the butter sauce! I also loved how crispy the potatoes were and how well everything was seasoned. I'd definitely come back. I surprisingly inhaled the entire thing at 8am on a weekday... it was just that good!!

I really wanted to support this local business since I live in the neighborhood, but unfortunately…read moremy experience hasn't been a positive one. First, the prices are extremely high. I stopped in for a coffee and a side of bacon, and my total was almost $20. For such a simple order, that's hard to justify. I understand food costs have increased, but the pricing feels excessive compared to other local restaurants that serve quality food at much more reasonable prices. My biggest concern, however, is the impact the business has had on our neighborhood. Since Zuzu's Petals opened, we've noticed a significant increase in litter, much of it appearing to be food and drink packaging from the restaurant. Weekend traffic on the sidewalks has become overwhelming, customers often park in alleyways or in unsafe locations, and it has made our neighborhood much more difficult to navigate. We brought these concerns to an employee, but were told there wasn't much they could do. If this business truly wants to be part of the community, I hope they take more responsibility for the impact they're having on the surrounding neighborhood. Encouraging customers to park responsibly, helping keep the area clean, and offering more reasonably priced menu options would go a long way toward building goodwill with the people who actually live here. I always want local businesses to succeed, but right now I can't recommend Zuzu's Petals based on both my experience and the ongoing issues it's created for nearby residents. Also beach cleaning isn't cleaning our neighborhood. That's no support to our neighborhood. Maybe have a neighborhood clean up day instead.
