5 Stars - A Hidden Gem That Fuels Both Body and Soul…read more Tucked away in the peaceful coastal charm of Morro Bay lies Sunshine Health Store and Cafe -- a true hidden gem and the kind of place every town needs but few are lucky enough to have. Walking in, you immediately feel like you've stepped into a sanctuary. The store side is packed with thoughtfully curated natural Whole Foods, herbs, local wellness brands, and holistic remedies that feel like they were chosen with genuine care. No gimmicks, just the good stuff. Whether you're a health nut or just dipping your toes into mindful living, this place meets you where you are -- with open arms. And then there's the café. Oh, the café. It's not just food -- it's nourishment. The kind that makes you pause mid-bite and go, "Wait, what *is* this magic?" Everything on the menu is clearly made with love -- fresh ingredients, creative plant-based options, vibrant flavors, and the kind of energy you can feel. Smoothies, hearty bowls, wraps, and snacks that leave you feeling energized instead of weighed down. But the real treasure here? The people. You don't just get customer service; you get connection. The staff radiates warmth and passion -- like they're not just selling you health but living it and inviting you to do the same. Sunshine Health Store and Cafe is more than a business -- it's a beacon. A rare blend of nourishment, community, and consciousness. If you're in Morro Bay, don't miss this soul-fueling stop. And if you're lucky enough to be local, this place is a gift you'll never take for granted. Truly, sunshine for the mind, body, and spirit.

There was also parking right in front, with no line, which was convenient. I wanted something fried, but when I saw that they use canola oil, I decided to go with the salmon tacos instead. Salmon isn't exactly a local fish, but it's usually a safe bet, especially when it's fresh frozen. I got the salmon tacos, which came as two tacos on two tortillas. The salmon was topped with a little cabbage and tomato, melted cheese, and what seemed to be some onion and cilantro. They also included a small serving of salsa. Overall, they were decent, but not the best salmon tacos I've had. One thing that was a little annoying was that some of the salmon had the dark "bloodline" still attached. I usually scrape that off because I find that part of the fish more bitter and strongly flavored. That's especially awkward with tacos because you're trying to remove it from pieces of fish that are already in the taco. I've had salmon tacos elsewhere where that part had been trimmed off, so there was nothing to deal with. No bones, though. The tacos were a little pricey at just over $20 with tax, but you're in a tourist area and it's California, so that wasn't exactly surprising. They made for a decent meal, and sitting outside was pleasant.

I know some of you are intrigued while others are perplexing out.I usually stick to the beef. But I have ventured and bought shark, alligator, and buffalo before. Pliable, softer but not mushy, tasty jerky. Made without MSG, preservatives, or nitrates so alot healthier. Family recipes. They sell in a variety of sizes/pricing and flavors such as black pepper, teriyaki, srirachi, and habanero. Mmm. They also sell novelty candy including chocolate bacon, hot sauces, cold case drinks, snacks, and small gifts (plushies, stickers, cards, etc). The chocolate bacon is one of my go to buys because it's less than $5 and come on... it's chocolate AND bacon, nuff said. The actual shop is in the small shopping plaza on the street side of the three stacks and maritime museum which by the way the museum has outdoor displays and small museum (all free and accept donations). The jerky shop has free parking in a lot with plenty of spaces. Can't stop in the shop in person? Check out their website for their online shop.

I should have just walked away then!! I got through one row and was starting on the second row when I saw one of them go get a soda - with no mask!! He saw me and quickly put on his mask, sort of like an afterthought. I immediately returned the items I had chosen and walked quickly out the door. I will NOT return here, they don't respect the safety of their customers or their workers!! And this during the worst time in the pandemic, where cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are increasing at an alarming rate. They should be ashamed of themselves. Throughout this pandemic I have shopped here several times a week, buying a lot of overpriced goodies. I have probably spent $30-$50 a week here since April.

Anyhow I proceeded to the pharmacy counter where I assumed I would need to go to get said shot. I had called ahead to confirm they had them in stock and someone was there who could administer the shot. The gentleman I spoke with on the phone was helpful and pleasant but did not think to mention to me that you don't actually need to stand in the very long 45 minute wait line for the pharmacy pick up when getting a tetanus shot just go to the consult window. Well long line lesson learned the hard way here! So I finally proceed to the proper line to get set up for my shot. And then fill out said forms. And give them my insurance card and payment info. They have trouble processing my insurance. Do they call the number on the insurance card for pharmacy staff to use for help? No! They just demand I pay cash price of $81.99 for the shot. So, I looked online and found a coupon from GoodRx that stated they should give me the shot for less ($50) but they refused to accept it. Stated its corporate policy they cannot accept any coupons for vaccines at their stores. I find that interesting since all the pharmacies I've used in the past have never had a problem using these coupons, including other Rite Aid locations! All in all, a terrible experience. And sadly not the first time I've tried getting something thru this same pharmacy location using my insurance which I assure you is perfectly good and able to be used without issue at every one of their local competitors without any problems or even so much as needing a phone call. So what their pharmacy techs are doing here is beyond me. I call it the bait and switch where they do their best to get you to pay out of pocket for stuff your insurance should be paying for. Because the cash pay pricing is way more than my insurance would pay for this item. I of course got my insurance to reimburse ME for the cost I had to pay, but it was a hassle and I should not have had to do so! As a Healthcare professional myself I do know how to do these things with ease but I'm sure most of my neighbors who live here in Morro Bay and use this place regularly do not. It's crappy of the staff here to be so lazy and take advantage of this thinking that people just don't know any better. They are lucky I'm giving the 3 stars I am and honestly that is for the kindness of the Nurse Practitioner who administered the injection and the gentlemen who answered the phone and was so polite and kind and helpful. Otherwise I would give zero stars for the rest of this experience!

I still needed get some other things for my friends BUT the shelves are literally bare. Each aisle is easily 85%+ empty. So I went next door to Albertsons to grab the things needed. I came back to the pharmacy now 1.5 hours after my initial arrival and they still hadn't even started the RX. They were extremely rude and weren't helpful whatsoever. I would recommend avoiding this pharmacy/store at ALL COSTS!!

Drinking fountains are filthy. Are you serious? At the pharmacy even. Beyond disgusting. It's an insult to all.

Gross and filthy all around the drinking fountains.

I need to BRAGG.... This has been my neighborhood market for over twenty years, mind you I live in Cambria and won't shop there (Soto's, yes) for a large haul. I love this Albertsons, it never fails!

I have ordered hundreds of all kinds of cakes for SO many events that I have done, professionally and personally and they have never fails me, what's more, they've exceeded my expectations. They have WOWED my guest at every celebration I've taken these cakes to. Thank you girls for your talent and thank you Albertsons for hiring true professionals.

They are frequently out of items and don't restock. Like Dunkin' Donuts whole bean coffee. They used to stock it and it was obvious a lot of people buy it because supplies didn't last long. But they have been out of it for months and instead have chosen to stock with hazlenut and vanilla flavored Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Which, by the way, have been sitting there unsold for several weeks. Listen to your customers, people! It's overpriced as it is, but if we're willing to pay your prices, give us what we want. Anyway, have been shopping at Ralph's in Los Osos and getting what I need at lower prices. read more

I passed the Wall of Values, which has the week's bargains, and skittered by an lavish assortment of beverages, to find the large produce section. There is also a fresh pressed juice section at the beginning of the produce. I found all the usual suspects in produce, mostly from local farms, and loaded up on green beans, radishes, zucchini, and green onions. I am also delighted by the diversity of cultures represented in the food. I was able to get some cilantro and some Daikon (Japanese radish), to make Mexican and Japanese dishes. They also carry whole ginger! I could also get a whole pineapple, papaya, and mangos for fruit salads, as well as coconuts and berries. Food 4 Less has lots more health food than it used to, so I can now get my almond milk in the dairy section. They still have the standards, so my Coffeemate is also there in every flavor. Another section I really love to explore is their baking section. They have flours from Bob's Red Mill, as well as almond flour and gluten free flower. I also love all the baking accessories, like candles, and cupcake cups. If you are in a hurry, there is a wide selection of cake mixes and even cookies mixes.
