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.

Lassens has a great selection of natural and organic products, and I really appreciate having a…read morehealth-focused grocery store like this in Ventura. 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.

I visited Rainbow Bridge Natural Foods in Ojai and while the food was great, the service was very…read moredisappointing. Three employees saw us at the register and ignored us. 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.

Rainbow Bridge is a healthy, hippie market in Ojai with all sorts of treats and eats. I've come…read morehere so many times, and sometimes honestly it's been a real "miss", usually with untrained or unfriendly employees. One time, my husband and I got the ready made "minestrone", which was a bowl of broken, soggy pasta noodles and broth. Ummmm, that's not minestrone... it's compost. Worst experience was when an employee shamed me for returning an (unused, unopened) item with the receipt. Like, what possibly could have been her problem other than she didn't want to be bothered by me to do her job? But, deep breath, other times it has been a "hit", and for those times I'm thankful. My most recent visit was the other day, with my daughter, as we were just in town for the day, and we wanted to pick up a few things to take with us on our roadtrip. We got a variety of things from organic fruit, to hummus and crackers, to vegan probiotic smoothies, and of course some yummy dark chocolates. The planets were aligned for us on this visit, and we were glad.

A ray of sunshine! Thanks Michelle, you really made my day. I really want to thank Michelle and Allison today for helping me locate pink Himalayan salt in bulk. I had looked in the bulk area, forgetting that spice bulk items have their own section in the back of the store. Thanks, Michelle, for taking it upon yourself and investigating and Allison for giving me the information. I was able to successfully locate the item in question. Rosalina in the deli area made my turkey and swiss sandwich today. As always it was perfection! What really touched me was the fact that she put my sandwich in the refrigerator when she noted I was doing a large shopping. It's always so much fun in the store, I call it Disney for adults! I so appreciate Rosalina being so kind. I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich. It was a very busy day at the deli; the orders were lined up on the counter and the team handled with precision and skill! Great job to Cindy, Rae, JJ, they did such an awesome job and really do go above and beyond. I wanted to add that the deli area is very large and there are always multi-functions happening, yet the area is spotless and organized. Mike is the manager and he does a great job be it training a new associate or jumping in to lend a hand. Frank in the produce area was so polite today, very nice person, hard worker and always so friendly, thanks for your help today. Krystal is another associate I wanted to give commendations to today, she is so helpful and polite to all the customers. Very customer service oriented. Always has a great smile. Thanks so much. Of course I must include the meat department. As always, the staff and sales are awesome. They really do a fine job presenting the best products. The department is well run, organized and as always there are great sales. Looks like pork chops are on the menu this week! Thank you! Cindi in health and beauty is another associate that I wanted to recognize. She is so knowledgeable and kind. Very nice lady. Thanks so much for all your hard work, Cindi. Vallerie checked me out today and as always, she just radiates kindness. She is a very thoughtful person. She goes out of her way to assist customers; she knows her prices and always keeps the lines moving but gives personal attention to every customer. Thanks for make my day brighter.
