Review №1

After not being able to decide which type of product would be best for my need, I decided to ask for help, the lady didnt seem very interested in helping but I asked if she thought Product type A would be better or Product type B. All she did was show me where A and B was after she had walked around me looking at product A and B for 10 minutes. When I said well do you have any recommendations, she said no, not really, most people just do their own research then they come in and buy what they need. I feel if you are going to work in a supplement department (where there an overwhelming amount of options) you should be able to give some sort of recommendation or help a little. I dont know if she was strictly hired to do stocking then I feel I should have been directed to someone that could give me information. I went in for help and was pretty much just told to figure it out myself. Didnt make for a pleasant experience.

So many good things. I’ll start with the most biased one: this place has all of the hard to find foods and snacks. I enjoy Quest, Lily’s, Catalina, Fat Snaxxx, BHU products, and organic cheeses. They have it all!They’ve also got their own deli inside to buy pre-made meals, salads, wraps, cooked chicken, so many good things! If you’re on a quick lunch and just need a small bite or full meal, come here.Their sale prices are actually SALE PRICES. A particular product I buy is usually about $13.99 normally; on sale, it’s usually $7.99, sometimes even lower!Very easy to find the product you need and even if it’s not, the staff is extremely friendly and will help you find it or something similar!Highly recommend these folks!

I love Lassens!! Not only do they have a great selection of raw, organic, vegan, and fresh foods- but I can always find new snacks to try. Love their LifeSeasons selection of vitamins & supplements. They carry great brands like Garden of Life & Herb Pharm. The to-go food is amazing, the varieties of chocolates are endless, and they have very knowledgeable staff. Clean & very organized store!

Just go in. Don’t do doordash. A $9 wrap will be $12 before taxes. I spent $30 on a wrap and 16oz smoothie. Pretty sure the wrap was pre-made too. Other than that its good.

I shop here all the time but willing to drive extra for Whole Foods now. I called and asked if they had a product, got directed to the vitamin department (north the correct department), the woman told me I called the wrong department and hung up on me. I tried calling back and just got a voicemail. I’ve never dealt with such a blatantly rude customer service rep.

Wonderful healthy options. It’s really nice to find a place that offers more plant based foods. The prices are a little high but there are enough sales to get a variety of items each week.

Convenient and not too large. This was good for picnic items and salad bar.

Must be the best Lassens. BIG with not just a salad bar, but banquet tables of fresh fruit, veggies and chicken. Huge variety of products. I discover something new to try nearly every time I shop. Theres a big section for health and beauty products and they often have free samples up front. The deli is top notch with yummy sandwiches and sweets. The store is spotless and always smells good. Staff is very kind and helpful and theres a family feeling to the atmosphere.

I love exploring Lassens. High quality produce with lots of vegan and gluten free options. I love their salad bar, deli, and on-tap kombucha. Every time I go in, I find another product that I love and I always feel like I have another reason to come back. It is a very health focused environment. The only drawback is that the prices are kind of up there. While the products are all natural and organic, I have found it to be more expensive than Whole Foods. I try to mainly shop sales when Im there for this reason. It is a great, local place with a very nice and helpful staff.

I stop here sometimes on my way home from school. They have a lot of good stuff! So many organic and vegan options. They are extremely good for supplements. Very, very extensive selection. They also have a lot of items Whole Foods has, just a but cheaper. They also have a lot of stuff Whole Foods doesnt have. I have purchased a lot of meatless options here for dinners and also baking supplies for the vegan baking I do for family. Very reasonably priced, especially when shopping sales. I did dock them 1 star because you have to watch the prices of items being scanned like a hawk. I have had items ring up for more than they should, been charged double for items, etc. So just watch the prices and you are good to go! Good store.

A good selection of produce for a smaller store, prices are at the higher end and if you eat bread, dont bother shopping for it here as they are almost primarily gluten free. The deli has great veggie and vegan options, but their bakery case is deceptive, a small amount of things made in house, cakes are frozen and delivered. Theyre not open on Sunday which isnt exactly convenient especially if you work during the week, best to go after work or on Saturday. Staff is pretty friendly and helpful.

Im in love with Lassens! I will never go back to Whole Foods. Lassens has brought back what we lost when New Frontiers sold their business. The veggies are fresh, the meat dept is far superior and the food in the deli is delicious. They have every supplement under the sun and a great knowledgeable staff. Highly Recommended!

The newest Lassens is most definitely the best, you cant beat the salad bar, the cold food bar has lots of vegan options. The drink selection is fabulous. The wellness and beauty department has so many gems from yoga to all natural cruelty free makeup. Staff is super helpful.

Overwhelming dumb outdoor seating that few like...see pic...indoor is also like a water torture. Yes, there is the matter of price/quality...but in this weird town of cult-like happiness...ha ...ha.... it is not so bad. I do like the hot bar....shame on me! :) Nice staff. managers are distant at best. At opening...wow! Now, it seems like...hey, let us make $$$$$$$$$$

Lassen used to be my go to place to buy produce. They are the only market where everything is organic, so you dont get tricked. And they USED to be the ONLY place where NON of the produce came in PLASTIC. However, it is extremely disappointing that instead of moving forward, they are moving backwards. Since about the last 6 months every time I go, there is more and more plastic. Lassens has the potential to lead the way, but is following the lead of Trader Joes, that is by far one of the worst markets in terms of plastic waste.

Love this store. Great options from CBD oil to hot lunch options. Just hope the rumors of it becoming a Trader Joes are not true.

The atmosphere in this store is calmimg. Its never super crowded and you are always able to browse the aisles at your leisure. The vegetables and other products are often humanely and locally sourced. Things may be overpriced but its far better to support this local grocer than Jeff Bezos. I wish they had a bigger FRESH fish selection as their frozen fish is not super tasty all the time. They also offer many bulk products and a huge assortment of beverages. The buffet style premade sides are spiritually fulfilling. The store is always clean, well lit and the employees are very nice and able to help with anything you may need. 12/10

Was charged $12.00 for a small cup of soup and a large cup of coffee. Over charging the college students living in the dorms perhaps.
