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.
Have you checked out Central City Market in Santa Maria Town Center mall yet? If you head to the Macy's annex and look directly across from the new location for Gina's Piece of Cake you will make a delightful discovery. Central City market is part deli, part gourmet grocery, and it fills a much needed void for the local wine and food enthusiast (i.e. food snob). The items included in their inventory have been thoughtfully selected and are displayed in a manner that will draw you in rather than overwhelm you with excess
I went out to dinner with friends at the Hitching Post in Casmalia. And despite it being the day after Christmas it was packed. I hadn't been out there in awhile. It is true that we take for granted things that are right here under our noses. The Hitching Post has a national reputation and a rich history here on the Central Coast. For those who don't care to go off the beaten path, you can chow down at the Hitching Post 2, located right off the 101 in Buellton. This was the location the movie Sideways. But, for those with a pioneering spirit, who want the authentic experience will venture out to the abandoned stage coach and railroad outpost known as Casmalia.
