I love Lassen's. It's been a staple in the community for years. Now there is a car wash adjacent &…read moresharing their parking lot. I want to say that "The Wash" cars are interfering with the parking for shoppers at Lassen's Health Foods. I went to Lassen's recently and was completely blocked in by cars coming out of "The Wash" tunnel, complicated further by two cars trying to back out of "The Wash" car slots and backing out into the Lassen's area. Unbelievable and frustrating!! My car nearly was hit even though I was not moving. I was blocked in because cars continued to come out of the tunnel, but couldn't yet access the other area until those people moved. This caused a pile up of vehicles around the Lassen's area, blocking me in, where I could not move into a parking slot. Who planned this anyway? Was any thought given to how these pileups can occur? In addition, "The Wash" causes a lot of unwanted noise for the Lassen's customers, especially when they eat outside. My thoughts: Move the car wash somewhere else.

I needed to buy a supplement so I decided to check out Lassens. 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.

I will for sure be coming back next time I'm in town!

Please allow me to take a moment to paint you a picture. 3.5 hours before a dinner party thinking I'm just gonna grab some 12for12$ oysters cause it's Friday. Call in hey what's the prep advance time you need. Nah I got you right now. Perfect Go in and this dude took time probably 10 mins minimum to talk me through perfect accompaniments and how to actually achieve this dinner I wanted. I don't normally eat pork took time to explain this different cuts his recommendations for this salmon and charcuterie plate I was doing. When I say I couldn't have prayed for better help that day without knowing Oscar existed that's a understatement Plus in general this store is fantastically friendly Prepped food counter always takes time and is nice about getting family meals set up even when they're slammed I've spent time at the cheese counter asking the local expert for her recommendations on what each one would go great with. The prime deals they host are normally as good price wise as Costco but then you get organic and some other good extra labels slapped on it. 10/10 12/10 staff 15/10 Oscar and glad I get to live so close by.

a day ago New The 1…read moreStar is NOT for the store which is clean and well stocked or for my usual experiences there (I shop there 2 - 4 times a week). The "minus 4" is for the pickup. As an item I wanted was not in store, I ordered for pickup. First time I have ever done so. I was not sure where to go, what to do etc so I approched the associate who seemed to be handling that area. I saw he was busy so I politely apologized for bothering him and explained I was pretty much clueless on where to go, what to do etc. He told me to check in. I asked him where to do so and he told me to do it the same way I ordered. I ordered on Amazon so tried to open it. Well that store has horrible internet so it took a minute but the only option was curbside vs in store. I again apologized and explained. He told me he wasn't familiar with the app and turned away. I just stood there. Another woman arrived and seemed to be helping out but when I tried to ask her for help, she rather abruptly told me they were busy and other people were waiting. I would not have flinched if she, in a semi polite manner would have simply said something like, "we have quite a few orders but if you don't mind waiting a moment, we will help you." Instead I felt awkward and embarrassed. She did find my order which was handed to me in an efficient but not warm and friendly way and that was it. Both employees seemed irritated that I did not know the "lay of the land" I get the store was busy. They seemed to be short staffed. The woman said they were having technical issues which I totally get and I am sure they were both tired and frustrated. I've been there. But I left feeling ashamed for putting the employees out. Whole Foods - your Oxnard internet is awful so looking for instructions in an email or app is often fruitless. Maybe some clear signage like you have at the Amazon self serve? A simply thing like that would go a long way. I won't try online pickup again. If am item I want is unavailable I will skip it there and purchase it somewhere else. On the upside, Angel, one of your male employees, is always SUPER nice and very helpful. Ditto for the employees at the seafood station. This is the only poor experience I have had.

I came around 11:00am and it wasn't busy at all. There were maybe 6 people in the store and 2 people in line. The store was really clean and mostly stocked full. The layout is different than the Oxnard ones so it took me much longer than usual due to not knowing the layout so I did a lot of back and forth. The aisle of shame was very confusing as they had random non-special/non-seasonal stuff right smack in the middle of it like random chips that are sold everyday that are also displayed where the designated chips section is on the next aisle over. There were some German week items here that were not at the Oxnard location last week. So that was a win. Since I'll be moving to Ventura soon, this is going to be my new Aldi for weekly shopping and I am looking forward to it (again because it's not as crowded).

I was both surprised and delighted to see there were Keto friendly items and they even carry a Keto All-Purpose flour I have been wanting to try. They had a few varieties of Carbonaut breads and pizza crusts in their freezer section. They carry Santa Barbara cookies, a great self-serve coffee beans section and lots of gluten-free and vegan options. Some of the prices are comparable to Whole Foods but some were even higher. Most common items sell for $2-3 more than what you would pay for at Sprouts or Vons. This is a convenient location to my home close to The Ave and I can see how this would be a great place to shop when making a special recipe. It's a clean store and it's a nice place to shop if you don't like crowds or transients on every aisle.

This market is almost too good to be true. But bruh, I'm telling you, it's true…read more First off, they have an astonishingly huge selection of products I've never seen before, and they're products that I am eager to try. Every aisle is loaded with interesting items that will stop you dead in your tracks. I could easily spend an hour just tripping on products here. Actually, I have. A couple times. lol. But the main reason I love Ventura Ranch Market is that they have, without question, the best selection of potato chips you will find anywhere in Ventura. In addition to the city's best selection of the always great Boulder brand potato chips (even more than Sprouts), Ventura Ranch Market carries Taco Works Chips from San Luis Obispo. Those Taco Works Chips are fire, Yo. But as good as those chips are, they don't come close to the exalted excellence of the magnificent Torres brand Chips, imported from Spain. Ventura Ranch Market has a fantastic selection of Torres Chips. They have my favorite flavors, like Iberian Ham, and Mediterranean Herbs. They also have some flavors I've never seen, like Fried Egg, and Caviar. Honestly, I would try any flavor of Torres Chips, I don't care how weird they might sound. Those chips are freaking excellent. Ventura Ranch Market also carries my current favorite brand of Tortilla Chips, La Rosa. They're nice and thick and fried a little darker than most major brand commercial totopos. I like that. Another super great thing about this amazing little market is they carry Rosa Brothers Milk in glass bottles. I love milk in glass bottles! Especially Chocolate milk. Well, Ventura Ranch Market has Chocolate flavored Milk, Banana flavored Milk, Root Beer flavored Milk and even more flavors that I can't remember. So many flavors! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention they offer complimentary coffee and cookies here. First time I saw it I was like, oh, that's a nice thing to do for the Grand Opening. Then I went back like a month later and they still have cookies. It's a permanent feature. And the cookies are good! Thank you very much! Free cookies and coffee while you shop. Who even does that?
