After we had just got done at the beach, we were craving a cold and refreshing treat. I looked up…read moresmoothie spots and decided to go with Pacific Health Foods. This is a health grocery store, which carries a variety of supplements, snacks, beverages and other food items. When you walk inside, it has the "healthy" smell to it, if you know what I mean. At the very back of the store is where they have a walk-up counter where drinks are made to order. The menu is displayed above and there were so many options to choose from (and ingredients were listed, so you knew what was in it). Almost everything had a little healthy twist to it, so it was like ordering a guilt-free sweet treat! When they make your drink you take your receipt up to the register to pay. And while they were making our drinks it also gave us time to browse around the store. Definitely great if you need some snacks for the road! I left with the Piña Colada smoothie and it was simple, but delicious! The perfect beverage to help me cool down. It's a great store! Highly recommend!

I had to call one over, and she asked me to walk to her instead of coming to the cashier. I ordered a hamburger with just cheese and a juice (which I repeated twice). The juice never came, and the burger arrived with lettuce and tomato. The attitude from the staff was not friendly, and even others in line noticed. Great food, but service is part of the experience. I hope they improve their customer service.

I had no idea where it was located…read moreand had it not been for me looking it up on Yelp, I likely would never have realized it was where it's at. The street sign is low and not obvious. I have driven by it hundreds of times and never seen it before. The store seems to be comparable to Whole Foods prices. A clerk saw me looking at the supplements and offered to help me. She knew exactly where the one I wanted was. I love checking out all the low sugar or no sugar snacks. I was surprised to not see any low carb tortillas though. I bought some organic spices and pork chorizo. The spices were about $1-2 more than organic herbs and spices sold on regular grocery stores. The produce looked really nice. The Romaine lettuce was big, leafy and fresh looking for $3.99; the same price I paid for non-organic and subpar product at Red Barn Market that is close to me. It's a great little store to check out.

The produce section is usually solid, and I especially want to shout out the gentleman in charge of produce--he's consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and always great to talk to. That kind of service really stands out. That said, my experiences with staff have been mixed. Some employees are kind and helpful, but others can come off as unfriendly or impatient. I'm diabetic, so I often ask detailed questions when nutritional information isn't clearly listed, especially at the juice/smoothie bar. Unfortunately, the people working there don't always seem knowledgeable about protein amounts, milk options, or fruit content, and a few times the attitude felt dismissive rather than helpful. I've also noticed that the hot bar food isn't always kept at proper temperature, which is concerning, especially for a place that emphasizes health and quality. Overall, Lassens has a lot of potential and some genuinely great employees, but consistency is an issue. Better staff training--especially around nutrition knowledge and customer service--would really improve the experience.

It's one of my favorite health, food stores in town and a grew place for lunch. My only complaint lately is the cold food and olive bar. The last few times I've been in , usually it seems to be happening after 4 o'clock, , I've seen unsupervised kids (today a group of 6-8 year olds , last time 16ish year olds ) grabbing food with their hands, licking their fingers, and going right back in for more. Basically double dipping their way through the olives, peppers, tomatoes, etc. The staff are busy, so this really comes down to parents keeping an eye on their kids or having some kind of guidelines. Love the store, just maybe inspect the olive bar and baby tomatoes before committing.

My kid gave a gross face when she tasted. I'll be back to maybe try another smooth but I won't bring my young son, he lost it when he saw $30 water.

To be fair, the prepared food is pretty good and it's clean with a nice ambience. The service is usually pretty good as well. The downside is that it's very very very very overpriced.

It's nice in terms of window shopping but most things in there I would never buy because they are not worth the price in my opinion.
