Trader Joe’s

Enjoy coming to this location. parking is sometimes horrible but the friendly service and product selection is awesome here! I usually come in the late evening in order to miss the busy time and usually find everything I’m looking for.

Discontinued my favorite items: wine country salad and onion rings. Selection is kind of limited at this location in general.

Not that they need a review, but this is my go-​to TJ’s so since I’m writing reviews anyhow — got give them credit, where credit is due.
Store is well-​stocked.
Crew is super nice + that it’s close-​by.
I’ve been going to TJ for over 20 years… from SF to OC… Love! Just wish I could buy everything I needed here… but definitely my spot for hydrangeas, dry snacks (have you tried the Cheese Stick? Yum!) and little waters for the kids.
I alternate between this store and the one in DP — both locations are great… and it’s nice and quaint.

A Full day of shopping wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Trader Joe’s. They consistently have what I want and need. I no longer live close to this Trader Joe’s, but I am so glad I stopped in as my favorite cashier still works at this one and I got to see her!!!

Reading the reviews makes me question whether we are talking about the same store. Why do we come to trader joes? Because we know they have good products and nice staff. Why do I and my wife avoid trader joes and this store in particular? Because you have to park at the end of the parking lot. Because every time we come we can’t even walk around because with the stocking in the aisles and the slow moving lines you can’t get around the store easy. I can’t stand this location. If you want to be a better store change your ways. Think of how many people you are losing. I’ve never experienced this at any other store. It’s lame and frustrating. Id rather go to stater bros. I get it, you want to keep your prices low so you stock during the day instead of paying your staff to do what other stores do at night. You don’t have baggers, so slow moving inexperienced baggers like myself can hold up the line. You don’t have any shopping cart terminals so either you walk the cart all the way back to the store or be the lazy person who tries not to dent other cars. Bad experience all around

Everyone is so nice and friendly here. Reasonable prices, interesting snacks, and great service keep me coming back.

Best grocery store ever. They have super awesome products but their service is just incredible. Always friendly and helpful! Returning items is a breeze and the store is well organized and stocked.

They have the best service here! I come every week and the friendly cashiers always talk to you. And I mean more than the standard hello and have a good day. They do this, while still getting through the lines quickly. I always see their sense of urgency here!
It’s like a neighborhood grocery store. And that’s why this Trader Joe’s makes my day of running errands more enjoyable.

You’ll never have a hard time parking in this shopping center. The Trader Joes is well organized, and kept very clean despite the holiday madness. The employees are very courteous and considerate to your shopping needs, despite the business of the store.
I don’t like that it’s a much smaller store, with a limited selection but it has your necessities.
I can’t shop here exclusively, but at least it’s next to a Grower’s Direct!

I love our Trader Joes! The people who work here are so nice and friendly; better than any other TJ around

Always a pleasure shopping @ TJ’s in Aliso. They have interesting products and friendly service… different vibe than the big box stores. And the chocolate… to die for!

This Location is awesome! Everything is organized and very neat. The employees are super helpful and ask if they can «help you find anything.» Great food selections, very reasonable prices, and a large selection of items that are Organic. This location is way bigger than Ocean Ranch TJ’s and it’s a million times better! :)

great products great people great service and reasonable prices. I love the free samples too I can’t think of a reason not to give a ⁵⁄₅!

I have been shopping at trader joes ever since they first showed up in Orange County.
Not all locations are the same.
My favorite location in South County is Rancho Santa Margarita.
I had a crazy experience the last time I was at this location and lesson learned — DO NOT SHOP ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
I went there on a Sunday around 1:00ish.
First off, I think one of the pre-​requisites for choosing a TJ location is to find the toughest most challenging parking available.
Secondly, I believe all of Aliso Viejo was there. It was PACKED. I hated it.
As I said, I will never stop shopping at TJ. I love everything and anything they offer. I just will never go on a sunday again.

I like buying pasta sauce and pasta from TJ. Flavorful sauce and pasta is of right texture. Not a big fan of their produce. Find it limited or pre-​packaged. Good selection of beer and wine list. We always buy drinks from here. Very helpful staff and hoping that I will win their raffle ticket one day!

I just bit and cut my mouth while eating my trader joes salad. This black piece of plastic was in my salad.

Love the layout of the Aliso Viejo store. It’s just the right size, and organized very well. I never have trouble finding the things I need. The food tasting station always have yummy food for you to try. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They will go out of their way to help you find the things you need. Love shopping here!

I have to leave a 5-​star review and call out the excellent customer service I received last week from Devon. He went above and beyond to help me out, when I was trying to shop for Thanksgiving dinner stuff and couldn’t find what I was looking for. I really appreciate great customer service and this guy was a pro.
Also, this store is always clean and well-​organized. Great Trader Joe’s location.

I’m obsessed with Trader Joe’s. It’s certainly not the most economical store (excessive packaging for small portion sizes, and not all locally sourced food), but I love their variety, the Trader Joe’s brand, and the free samples :)
I think the «hidden» gem here is the frozen aisle. While your distracted looking down at all the frozen goodies, there is a plethora of fun, delicious snacks and treats placed on the top shelves. Seriously, check it out.

I love me some Trader Joes. They’re just what the Doctor ordered when you have a long flight ahead of you.
I wanted to stock my bag with some snacks — and so we popped in here, I ended up picking up some chocolate covered pretzels, peanuts and some bagel crisps. All for less than what ONE of these would have cost me at the airport.
