Lassens Natural Foods & Vitamins

I love lassen's deli! They have great sandwiches, which you can heat up by panini or even get lettuce wrapped. Their pastrami and turkey have been very flavorful! Also, they have a lot of food options on the counter as well. I've tried their vegan "chicken" dishes and they were delicious, I couldn't even tell that they were tofu!

Aside from their deli, they have a lot of health foods and random things such as almond date rolls, which are a yummy sweet treat. Stuff here is pricey, but again it is a specialty/health food store so it's expected. Also, the service is awesome!

came in to look around and order a smoothie because i haven't been here recently and i never tried their smoothies, ordered and was handed a paper without being told anything. when my order was ready i went up and the guy asked if i paid, and i said" no?" and he said that "we ask that you pay before you get your smoothie" and acted like i did something terrible. then he told me just to take my smoothie and pay at the cashier. he was really rude and handed me my smoothie with some of it over the sides of the cup making my hands super sticky, it was a mess. when i finally got to drink it, it tasted like dirt and made my throat swell. so i paid for an overpriced 7 dollar smoothie to only have an allergic reaction (:  to sum it up; rude staff and overpriced. just go to sprouts, they have the nicest staff and a lot of deals!

This Store is incredible!  Super clean and organized. Wonderful selection of items. Their cafe has incredible vegan options!  Love, love, love this place!!!

This review is for the deli only, the groceries here are far too expensive for me to even attempt to buy.

The food here is OK, but a bit pricey.  The service is awful.  The work flow in the deli is about the worst I've ever seen anywhere.  If you have a large party, they are not really set up to handle it.  It's unclear where you should pick up your food from, and often as not they try and give it to you at the cash register, where you're tripping over the customer who's trying to pay for their meal.  

I regularly come here with a group of customers (not my choice, but customer is king).  It's not uncommon for them to serve 3 of the 4 of us, and keep the last person waiting an extra 10-15 minutes to get the food.  Come on!

I would honestly never come here for lunch except for the fact that my customers somehow love this place.  I have eaten here over 30 times and the service has been mediocre at best.

I love all the vegan options this store has. They have a ton of tofurky items and frozen goodies like the taquitos. Also, they have freshly made mock meat in the deli which is sooooo yummy! The product part, excellent! The costumers and the employees... RUDE. It seems like everyone who shops here is snobby and mean. My boyfriend and I were standing in line to get something from the deli when he backed up slightly and the lady in back of us shouted "watch what you're doing!" Like oh heck no. The employees aren't friendly at all either. Seems like people here always have things up their butts all the time. Ugh, they ruin my shopping experience for me. Probably not coming here again. Going to stick to Trader Joe's or Sprouts from now on.

Okay, I found out about their deli and I am in love. I have had a few of their fully organic smoothies made from frozen fruits and fresh veggies and they are simply amazing. I love the Jamaican Breeze, just make sure you don't get too much ginger or it ruins it (happened the second time). And I love the Zen Peach. Both of those are on the top. The Blueberry Heaven is pretty good but doesn't compare to the top two in my book.

I also have had a few of their vegetarian "meats" and I have been thoroughly impressed. The vegetarian kung pao chicken is amazing, and I love the ginger chicken. Overall I will say that I am giving the five stars solely on the fact that I was super impressed with the deli and the customer service is excellent.

Pros: Great products (best in town in my opinion), good customer service, the most healthy choices in all of bakersfield, vegan/vegetarian friendly, and all of their products are either natural or organic.

Cons: Pricey, some of the employees don't know as much as they should about the products, but I guess it is still a grocery store.

Overall: Healthy. Which equals: GREAT!

A-ok for Bako.

When I come home for a visit I'm sure to work my day around so that I can bring my dad here. From an outsiders point of view, i.e. my husband's, it's hilarious to see a father and daughter geek out about essential oils, vitamins, supplements and probiotics. But between us two we can't get enough of them. Lassen's fits the bill.

Note: cold case food items are fresh and tasty. Love that they carry Cafe Med's dips and breads.

I love and trust this store with pretty much everything from toddler teething, to AEA emu oil, to what's for dinner. If they don't know the answer, they find out and always pull thru with informative answers that point me in the right direction. A+++++++

Lassens is truly a wealth of health food. I love this place the juice bar is amazing. The store manager Jay is the anchor of this grocery store. I really appreciate his calculated management skills. The vitamin and supplements section has a great variety and selection. They even have a nice fresh mini sushi bar that is made daily. Taking care of your health is priceless and having the right options is vital to our lives. I am thankful we have Lassens in this town.

So happy to have discovered this store today. Having recently changed my diet to Paleo it's nice to have a store that has everything I wanted to try. Excited to try Siete gluten-free products and almond milk cheese!
