“I found this store beautifully presented but very underwhelming when it came to what it offered. I’m not quite sure who they are trying to attract?
Everything is more expensive and not that unique. Veggie and fruit section is a no-go for me.
I did like their house made dressings and sauces. That is a cool feature. They spend a lot of money in packaging. Meat is well sourced but very expensive. I like the juice bar and the outdoor patio. I personally cannot eat at the pizza restaurant and I have heard that the restaurant is very expensive and not worth what you get. I didn’t have a good experience at their coffee shop…but that was 1 week after they opened. I know they are going through a trial period. I don’t know how they are paying for that all.
Total mixed feeling. I want it to succeed but they need to work on things.”
Thanks for reading and sending such a thoughtful message!

We hit L'Oca after a chiropractor appointment a couple weeks ago. Holy hell everything is 3x the price. A frickin fruit pie was $30! We left with a bag of overpriced chips and an equally overpriced bag of dark chocolate covered sponge toffee. Won't go back.
We saw those pies and I was shocked! Everything in that section was a no go for us. I had the most expensive latte I've ever (and will ever) buy there. When I ordered and she told me the price I'm pretty sure I blacked out for a second, then I bought it and realized I should have moved along.
I am curious to see if they will last, Planet Organic did not fair well and who knows if this will either. Thanks for the comment - we love to hear what others think!
