Looking for organic foods in Santa Maria? I recommend you stop by Lassen’s on South Broadway. They have a great selection of organic foods. I don’t think you need to be a food extremist to want to eat organic. It simplytastes better in my opinion. It does cost a little more, but you can use that as a great excuse to be mindful about how much food we waste. Buy what you know you will eat and enjoy it; I guess that is the anti-Costco philosophy. Lassens also has almost every kind of health supplement you could imagine and what they don’t have they will order for you. If you have food or cosmetic sensitivties, Lassen’s may indeed stock the soaps, lotions, or gluten free products that you need. The dairy case includes cage free eggs, unsweetend yogurt and an assortment of cheeses. While Trader Joe’s, is a great place to begin your organic food shopping, many times I end up at Lassens to complete it.
In July 2006, Mint Properties opened an office in the Mission Creek Plaza on Santa Maria Way. Tni’s stated aim is to offer the highest quality representation and professional service to her clients. Independence affords her the ability to avoid a volume driven approach; the result is prompt, reliable, individualized service coupled with straightforward advice. Indeed, she brings the same level of professionalism to real estate as she did to the law.
I know the Santa Maria Sun publishes a list of local favorites every year, but because I LOVE sushi so much, I feel qualified to publish my own list of favorite sushi restaurants in Santa Maria. If I were going on a business lunch or going out to dinner I would probably go to Ichiban (805) 614-9808 at 2011 S Broadway (next to Family Health & Fitness) great authentic food, private booths and sushi bar seating available.
Since Blockbuster closed its doors, many people are wondering where they can rent a movie in south Santa Maria. I for none did not mourn the loss of Blockbuster. I still remember my favorite little video rental shops being put out of business, and more importantly the late fees! I believe Hollywood Video is still open -- although I haven't travelled up to the north end to verify it. Besides that, IMO it always felt more like a gaming shop than a movie rental place. I use Netflix, but we all know that the occasion arises when we want a particular movie right NOW
One of our favorite things to do is to pile the dogs into the car and drive up the coast to Avila Beach and grab some oysters. There are some local spots on the pier or in town where you could get them at a restaurant, but we prefer to buy to buy our own
