Lassen’s, 710 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles (Miracle Mile), CA 90036
While this Lassen’s appears small and narrow, it does have a self-serve salad and hot food bar ($12.99/lb), with soups. The store is clean, well-stocked, and has better prices than Erewhon. All the produce is organic. The products they carry are minimally processed and free from additives (e.g., preservatives, GMOs). It’s more like Erewhon than Whole Foods, but with a casual vibe.
The deli has made-to-order sandwiches, wraps, salads, organic smoothies and juices, including gluten-free bread, Keto bread, vegan options, and vegan cheese. Prepared foods are also available in the grab & go case. You can find better for you versions of dairy, meat/seafood, canned food, prepared foods, bulk food, frozen food, supplements, bath & body, incense, candy/chocolates, etc. The selection seems smaller here than the larger Echo Park location. I saw some kombucha brands that I hadn’t seen before. You can get goat milk yogurt and sheep milk yogurt.
It's the only store that I've seen carry TruJoy Frozen Yogurt and Le Zette Sheep's Milk frozen yogurt.
They have some decent sales too. And there’s a community program where you earn 1% back on every purchase. Grocery delivery is available.
My picks:
3 lb bags of Black Arkansas apples, $3.99 each
Note, it’s closed on Sundays. Parking is free (requires validation) in the lot for 90 minutes. There are tables and chairs if you’d like to dine there.
