Mother's Market & Kitchen

Mother's has been Orange County's organic grocer for decades, and the Beach Boulevard store pairs the market with a kitchen turning out genuinely good vegetarian-friendly plates, juices, and smoothies.

Do what the regulars do: eat something from the kitchen first (the hot bar will surprise you), then shop. A cart filled after a good lunch is a much more honest cart.

It is a few minutes up Beach Boulevard from the shop, worth the short drive when you want to restock the fridge with things you feel good about. Consider it the errand that pairs naturally with a standing appointment: both are maintenance for the version of you that has it together.
