Health Markets in Laguna Beach, CA

“If your a lover and supporter of independent coffee shops, small businesses, farmers markets, and charcuterie boards, you have to stop by this market. It is fantastic. The owners are incredibly nice, the staff was super welcoming and helpful. This place has such a inviting and niche vibe. Vendors were delivering fresh food to the store shelve during the visit!Mercado Laguna has a wide selection of fresh foods, fine foods, and is really a step above as far as quality offerings. If you are hosting a dinner party this would definitely be a place you have to stop for the wonderful variety of accompaniments that are available. It has a surprising amount of variety for the small footprint.There is also a section of the store that has cute knick knacks, party favors, decorations, and baskets. So it's pretty much a one stop shop for hosting events and classy parties.If you are in the area or live near by, make some time to stop by. It's worth it.”

“The good:I came to get food for my toddler to eat because she wouldn't eat what we had for lunch at a nearby cafe. I got green beans, potato wedges, macaroni and cheese and penne pasta from their hot food bar and got a peanut butter and coconut health cookie bag (brand was called Emmy). The cookies were delicious and soft. My toddler ate all of the foods I chose. You pay by the pound ($11-12 per pound) so I was able to mix small amounts of everything into a sampler box. The workers were friendly toward my kids. The bad:My toddler didn't like the cookies for some reason. This location is smaller than your average Whole Foods so the hot bar is also smaller and there are fewer registers. The green beans could've been cooked a little longer. The interesting:They have multiple entrances on opposite sides of the store.”

“5 stars for the staff. Not quite sure why there are so many negative reviews. Everyone has always been nice and helpful to me when I stop in. Even gone above and beyond at times. I do find the choices to be limited as far as ready made food compared to larger WFs in other locations but it's to be expected I would say for the size of this store.”
