This is shopping at a new level. Look out whole foods. Found the prices to be good and in line with the quality. Love the poke bar. I have been doing all my shopping here

A good selection of natural foods, free of whatever you may want/need to avoid. A decent selection of wines. A small store with a great deal of choice. Some of the customers either cant drive or dont give a darn about others. Overall, a great experience with store and staff

Great store, terrible parking. I circled for 10 minutes and adjacent businesses plus no street parking before going elsewhere. Noon on a non-holiday October Wednesday.

Pretty good for what it is: a bougie grocery store. They have $15 salads that almost look & taste worth it. They have a wide selection of Alternatives To Medicine (a big old Homeopathy section. AKA placebo water). They’re a little obnoxious to be honest, but the food is beautiful and generally good. I think I’m going to have to figure out how to recreate some of their recipes from scratch with more affordable ingredients.

Top notch produce thats also Appropriately priced.Fun, spacious and clean. Feels like a top shelf grocery store should feel. Think Erewhon, wild oats, or Whole foods.From a caffe conveniently situated in the front of the market to its deli just adjacent to that and the rest of the usual suspects from the wide selection nut milks Or the artisan soap selection that rivals a gift shop this market has it all. We picked up some prebiotic beverages, trendy sumo citrus, Golden Milk lattes and a ready made brassica salad with bacon.10/10 would recommend to a friend10/10 would visit again10/10 think its overpriced and a little pretentiousEdit: we also scored a microplane, because who wouldnt want that.

Not a fan. Had high hopes going in. Outside of the prices, which are a tad high but expected, the checkout girl wasnt friendly by any means. Also, bought fresh baby broccoli/broccolini, and it was terrible. One bunch was solid mold and then yesterday after I rinsed it prior to cooking, notice something moving and realized there were little green worms in it.One-and-done at this place.

Upon entering the store, it was well presented and clean. The shelves were well stocked and organized with essentials and specialty items. There were many items I always needed and items I didn’t necessarily “need” that I had looked into before and been interested in getting. It’s nice to know where those options are now. The produce selection was awesome. Bought many tasty items! Try some different pears, apples, bananas, or plum/pluot thingies! The reason I went was for both produce and meat/seafood. I only eat organic produce. I do not support the mainstream fishing industry and their harmful non-environmentally practices/fishing methods. I only buy sustainably caught seafood and eat seafood out very rarely. It’s important to support responsible fisherman so I can as happy to have a selection of fish with a wide range or prices per pound. The same with the meat. There was a wide range of prices for responsibly sourced meat. You purchase meat from the actual deli area or a freezer section. Jared and Loni were very eager to greet and educate us. I really appreciated that. Their knowledge was helpful in picking out what we decided getting and cooking it. I will definitely be going back. Our cashier, Sarah, was super friendly and stylish. Thank you Jared, Loni, and Sarah!! Please let these team members know they are appreciated!!If you have any reason to go to any grocery store, you could still use this one- they have a nutritionist that oversees all of their food and if any of it is deemed “dirty” they get it off their shelves and do not sell it! Please give them a warm hello and support this grocer!

If youre looking for a step up from the usual Trader Joes-type grocery store, this is the place. I was amazed at the quality of what they offered, especially in the wine department. If youre looking for standard-quality grocery, then this is likely not your place. But if youre willing to spend a little extra, or are looking for something above and beyond, then look no further.

Amazing selection but some of these reviews saying its good value are insane. Seriously?? Its so unbelievably expensive. Good for the odd item but if youre doing your regular shopping here, you must have more money than sense!

Lazy Acres lives up to its name. LAZYHad high hopes but sick and tired of arrogant staff and mediocre products. Add to that false advertising of store hours online and in the door of the store. This store is not open until 10pm. Everything is packed up and shutdown by 915pm. Hit Von’s across the street or Whole Foods on University Ave.

Like a Whole Foods on organic steroids. Welcoming feel, fabulous selection, and it is ALWAYS hard to pass on that warm fresh baked cookie they serve made with generous dark chocolate chunks, walnuts, and a little kosher salt on top. Make sure you have some napkins handy before you mash on that deliciousness! Seafood and Waygu beef selection is fantastic. For the frugal shopper, they always have specials throughout the store which are always worth checking out.

This lazy acres is always out of stock, and refuses to stock items that customers demand, that other lazy acres stores carry. (Please get the green valley dairy free vanilla yoghurt! It’s the only yoghurt I can eat)

I wanted to like this place more than I actually did. They are a cute store. I loved the feel. The checker was super friendly. Very overpriced vegan options (terrible pre-made hot vegan pizza slices) and lacking in that area in general. Good wine selection and they have some cute home items and a good wellness section.

Very clean, friendly, and comfortable immediately upon walking in. Less crowded than a Trader Joes and the layout is much easier than a Whole foods. The staff are saints during these trying times. Always in a good mood and willing to help. Sincerely love this place and their people and thats why I always return...even if Vons is right across the street, the atmosphere here is authentic and the selection is unique.

With the best sushi you can get in a grocery store, a do-it-yourself poke bar, a great salad bar and fresh pizza and hot food bar, this is my favorite grocery store to get ready-to-eat food, and you can eat it in store.

Ive been shopping at lazy acres since they opened in the former Albertsons store in mission Hills about 2 years ago. love their hot food and deli food items as well as their desserts, some of the best pies and cakes in town!

Lazy Acres is pricey but worth it. The product selection is way better then Whole Foods. The meat selection is phenomenal. If you are looking for Keto friendly items this is your place. They have a huge selection of vitamins, as well as knowledgeable staff who can help you with any ailments using natural ingredients. It is my hippy crunchy dream. Also the guacamole they make está delicioso. Also try the warm ultimate chocolate chip cookie yummm

Food is like Farmers Market quality. You can find rare items like purple potatoes, purple yams, more than one variety of vegan cheese.Other products like essential oils and organic lotions and body products. Choose shopping here and Barons instead of Sprouts. Fruit and veggies taste like it should... always.Yes, its expensive.Blessed to be able to afford it.

Wow 😳 all I can say is WoW!!!This store Lazy Acres is phenomenal if you are a healthy person. I went there for the first time today and I will tell you this is like no other health store around. Whole Foods, Sprouts, Trader Joes even Jimbos can not touch this store with a ten foot pole. I love all of those stores and Whole foods especially. I have to say that different products they have at Lazy Acres by far stand out more than any of those other stores. I never seen so many different flavors of seaweed except when I went to Asia maybe. It was different, from what I read on a few items alone had some of theBest ingredients and no GMOs the variety in healthy snacks was very large to say the least. The friendly staff helped me out several times and I saw them do it with other people there as well. If you had that confused look on your face like we all do they will come right over and ask you how can help you find anything. You tell everyone who works there loves it as the should if I could give it a 6 th star I would and I do t always s give 5 stars but Lazy Acres deserves it. Go check it out or if anyone is visiting and your looking for good whole products from a keto diet to Palo you will find it and more here.

The poke bar is exceptional. There is a plethora of fresh and delicious foods at this store. You can get everything you need to feed yourself or host a fabulous cocktail party! Samples run wild there and the produce is fresh. I especially enjoy the neatness and organization of this store. Oh, I forgot! Buy some coffee beans and grind them there. You wont be disappointed.

Review №89

Vegan “pizza” = unseasoned wet mushy heaps of vegetables on top of bland bread. There’s no cheese, no salt, no flavor, and the texture is awful. The vegan cinnamon donut was dry and bland and not sweet at all, it tasted like stale bread. Gross. I feel like they treat their vegan food like it’s a throwaway since they clearly put zero effort into how it’s made. Take your business to all vegan places that know how to make edible food.

Lazy Acres nicely in between Vons and Whole Foods in terms of quality and price. Plus plants! 😍

Review №91

The store has a great selection of healthy foods and niche products. The organic produce is plentiful and easy to find. There is a health and wellness section with products I have no knowledge of. Id say that there is an 80% chance that almost anything you cant find at a regular grocery store is here. My main issue is that there are many items that can be found elsewhere- that are more expensive. Example- I can buy a gallon of water at the store across the street for $1.19. Here, the same gallon is $1.89. The same can be said for other items. I wish this place could be a one stop shop but until they can match the process across the street, Ill have to go across the street.

Roy at the Hillcrest location went above and beyond for me. He was patient, kind and very helpful. I had not yet signed up for the Lazy Acres newsletter. When he realized that what I was going to purchase was dramatically reduced in price, with a coupon, he went to his drawer and found one for me. You now have a loyal customer for life.Thank you Roy. You are an asset to this company.

Nice and clean store. We always have great experience with the staff, precisely with Jason and Fimbar from the health/beauty department. Selection is big enough however I wish the hot bar would be larger with more vegan options. Parking is plenty; the only problem is if you have an electric vehicle you will find Uber drivers charging their cars non-stop and taking up the stations.

Lazy Acres is the best store for healthy groceries and specialty items in this area, not to mention the wonderful ready to eat food on their hot bar! They have everything: fresh baked goodies, a sushi/ poke bar, a deli counter with awesome sandwiches, a seafood case Id actually eat stuff from (Im fussy about my fish!) and such good steaks!! You should go, but be prepared to happily give them all your money, because youre going to want everything in the store!
