So, I stopped in to Lassens shopping for supplements. I was not looking long when Lassens employee Stephanie M. Greeted me with a
Warm and Comforting “may I help you find something?” Stephanie’s calm and reassuring demeanor and approach, let me know that I was in excellent hands. I was so impressed and confident, that I quickly recited the items I was shopping for to Stephanie and Stephanie in a matter of seconds had everything I was shopping for.

Stephanie has an excellent, vast and extensive knowledge of the vitamin and supplement section.

Stephanie cared enough, to take the time to locate me in the store and brought a smaller size of an item I was looking for earlier, while I was shopping in the supplement section.

That level of honest dedication to customer care and to customer service is rare and is wonderfully reassuring and definitely worth mentioning!

Stephanie listens attentively, and is a great asset to the vitamin and supplement section to Lassens Natural Foods & Vitamins.

Ask for Stephanie she is extremely helpful.

While at the hot bar… yes, yes, yes…Yummy fresh selection's at the hot bar…of course I couldn’t choose just one… Eleazar kept the hot bar replenished, clean and appetizing.

It's a decent store with a large selection of organic products, but I did not enjoy hearing the employees speaking loudly in Spanish & laughing while hovering over items I wanted to look at...At no point did they ask if they should move out of the way, even though I wanted them to...they were not friendly or professional at all...Overall, I think the employees at this store are hostile & the prices are too high; I was also charged twice for a produce item, so you should check your receipts, since you're already spending $9 for some organic strawberries that probably aren't grown from decent farmers anyway.

Why is this entire store filled with products manufactured with soy? Soy is horrible for your hormonal system & organs. The nut butters are decent, but seeing a lot of food from China makes me skeptical about how much the owners really care about their customer's health. Would I go back? Yeah, but if I find something better with more quality products, I'll go there instead...The attitude from the workers was palpable, so all around, it was not a great experience, but it's open late, which is hard to find nowadays in terms of supermarkets.

I downgraded my rating to 2 stars because every time I go here, there's a problem...Today, I realized that I was sold used spice...I've bought Spice Hunter's garlic before, & there's supposed to be a safety label, but there was none...The last time I was there, the dates had mold on them, the time before that, I was charged twice for 1 produce item...In addition to all of this annoying BS, I realize how ridiculously priced certain items are...I bought 5 chocolate bars, which cost me around 48 dollars; This is not normal...They're good, but they're not that good. $12 for one small package of organic mushrooms? This is insanity. The store is in an unsafe neighborhood w/ many junkies & gang members, so I would be careful about leaving your things unattended. The cashiers are hit or miss...some are masked & miserable...others are excellent...it really just depends if you luck out.

I will venture to another health food store because this place isn't really worth it...If they're selling used products, how else are they cutting corners? Most produce from Mexico is substandard, but that's where most of their 'organic' produce here is from...There are also products from China, which makes the prices even more ridiculous. Where are the health food stores that buy locally from CA farmers? I can't wait to find one of those...or maybe I'll just go to a farmer's market & stop spending money on overpriced produce that's probably not even that healthy.

Absolutely one of my favorite grocery stores! The staff are super nice and knowledgeable on the products! I shop here pretty much every week and never have a hard time finding what I need. Lassens also does give aways during the winter holiday season which is a cool perk and they have a rewards system where you earn points for every dollar that you spend and you can rack up the points and get free groceries! Love this store!

To give you an idea of this market, it’s small and organized with prices comparable to Erewhon or Gelsons but the quality doesn’t make up for the price in my opinion. They have a hot bar, a salad bar, and a juice bar all created with natural ingredients. Some employees can be nice and others might not. Overall nothing really special about this place except they only carry organic foods.

They have an exceptional deli and hot bar if you’re vegan, and lotsa alternative brands if you’re a more conscious consumer, but unsurprisingly the prices here are prohibitively expensive for anyone, say, on food stamps. It’s also pretty unwelcoming to have a hulking security automaton be the first thing you see upon entry. The checkout line going down the aisle is a wildly inefficient way to organize customers. The non-profit panhandlers always outside are another unwanted fixture of this place, I honestly prefer the homeless people over them.

If it were up to me, I would give it 0 stars. Yesterday I went to buy milk and it didn't have an expiration date. I assumed it was fresh, but I was wrong. It was no longer good, the taste was sour. I don't recommend going to that store. It's in Eco Park.

Nice to have a coffee shop and a small food court inside the store. Salads, soups, sushi rolls, etc. Friendly and helpful staff. Store is well stocked. Variety of fresh veges too. Parking is ample.
