Trader Joe’s

I always go to this store. Everyone is friendly. Today I went in and Ace was my cashier. He was super friendly and great customer service. He even helped an older women take groceries to her car. Keep it up Ace! Good job!

In and out at the grocery store is my motto. I’m definitely not a window shopper nor do I appreciate the shopping cart raceway that ensues during peak shopping hours specifically at this location.
Don’t get me wrong, I love trader Joes but this one can be a bit difficult to navigate during peak times.
Pros:
–Fresh selection
–Beet Hummus… so good! (don’t knock it until you’ve tried it)
–Floral selection is amazing and reasonable
–Don’t forget your reusable bags (they have paper if you dont)
–Coffee and taster bar in the back– samples are fun to try
Cons:
–If it’s busy good luck getting around this small store (let the shopping cart/​frogger game begin)
–Parking lot is tight and pretty tiny — You’ll need extra time to get in and out of the parking lot (I don’t recommend parking right in front of the store. You’ll never get out)
–Service is hit or miss. Most time my checkers are super happy but lately most seem to be grumpy.
I’ll be back but try to come not on the weekends or peak times :)

LOVE this place, with lots of fresh, high-​quality goods, friendly employees, and laid back atmosphere. But today took the cake. We were having some car trouble, and the customer service manager offered to send out two of his employees to push our car for us! One of them even offered to run to his house (he said he only lives a couple of minutes away) to get longer jumper cables if we needed them. #winning!

I love to cook so im in grocery stores all most daily. My wife likes places like Henrys — Sprouts and of course Trader Joes. To me these stores were gimmicky and over priced and full of health nuts so im a Stater bros kind of guy. so last week i get the newest copy of TJs fearless flyer and i flip through it and find a few things i might want to try, then i spotted TJs brand of GYRO meat, ive been looking for this product for ever. Sometimes it would have been nice to make gyro pita pockets at home, so i made a trip to TJs i had my flyer with me with a few items circled so i get there and i dont know where anything is so i ask people working there where things are. Instead of just saying its over on isle 9 or whatever they say here follow me and they take you to it, if you have any questions about the product they are more than willing to discuss it with you or even ask another employees to get involved in the conversation {like yah ive tried that and its really good} They have tons of interesting and yummy products you dont see every day at the normal grocery stores. the other thing i liked is the store is pretty small so i learned where everything was in a short time. Back to the gyro they have there own brand of tzatziki sauce too, so i got fresh pitas, tomatoes, red onions, and cucumbers. man it was great ive had it 3 times now and ill keep going back just for that. So here is the big question can TJs fulfill a grocery list for a 4 day camping trip? YES not only did i find everything i needed for every meal i wanted to cook, i also found some cool new snacks and treats and i spent less time shopping and spent less $$$$ and had fun doing it. im hooked for life.

As with every TJ in north county, this one is great. However I have a pet peeve… Why is the Nulaid brand egg beater quart still $ 6.19, after the wholesale egg market has melted from near 2.50 per dozen last year to under 0.70 cents currently… Winco in San Marcos has the same brand for under $ 4.75?

Going here for the beer prices alone is a good idea! Seeing Ballast point craft beers for affordable prices was super exciting. Traders Joes is always somewhat of a bittersweet experience just because it is not a luxury we have in Hawaii! However, I love stocking up on things while I am on the mainland.
One of the things I love is that they usually have samples to try out some products. It’s a great way to move out of the comfort zone of your normal shopping list. In addition, the produce is fresh and affordable. TJs stocks conventional and organic produce as well as dried fruits, nuts and canned goods. It is a great variety that will stock any kitchen!
Some products I always get:
— Coffee! Their beans are great and they have a wide variety of flavors, roasts and grinds.
— Nut butters– the prices are so great and these are delicious fall-​backs for quick meals.
— DOG TREATS– I know, I know, it sounds strange but their prices are so affordable and my dogs have never had a treat they didn’t like from TJs!
— Trail Mix bags: the mixes are different but always great. It’s a healthy snack to always have on hand!
No wonder I am partial to this place– their aloha attire and attitudes have me feeling like I am back on the islands! TJs– can I take you back with me?!

I enjoy shopping at Trader Joe’s! All the employees are super friendly and helpful. They even let me try new items even if they aren’t currently demoing them. I do appreciate being able to try new items before taking them home, but they also have a fantastic return policy. I can get most of my groceries here, but still have to do some shopping elsewhere. I wish they had some of the seasonal items longer like the pumpkin pie mochi. The parking lot at this location can be super busy at times and it can be tough to get out of the lot.

Always friendly staff. Store is clean and well stocked. Great price on produce and eggs.

I heard Trader Joe’s has some decent scotch, but I failed to find any in Florida due to local laws. This Trader Joe’s had exactly what I was looking for… a bottle of Finlaggan Islay Single Malt for $ 18.99 plus tax. I haven’t tried it yet, but whether it’s as good as the Internet says or not, this place had it and I’m happy enough with that!

Love trader joes. I like this one people are always friendly and helpful. Parking is a little tight but worth it. Cheap and healthy food is pretty much an oxymoron except here. By they make you want to apply for employment when you leave because they’re so nice and happy.
In all a quick snack/​lunch or grocery shopping this is the place.

Sometimes when im working and want a snack i walk on over to trader joes and get a free sample. They ALWAYS have free samples. Ive loved EVERYTHING ive tried.
Their prices are good too. I get alot of lunch items here like Chicken ceaser salad, italian wrap, lasagne. All for under $ 6. Bread is cheap too. So are their eggs. I used to thonl trader joes was expensive but it really isn’t.
Will continue to come here for free samples.

So, you know that hash tag Faith in Humanity Restored? That’s what I am constantly reminded of when I step into a Trader Joe’s. And, this location is no different.
Here’s today’s reason why:
I’m standing in line and the next line over, I see an older fellow. He is likely 80+ years old and the TJ cashier greets him as sir. As he scans his groceries and helps him check out, the cashier helps him count out the payment (including the coins). It was a simple, but incredibly kind gesture. In a world where we are all busy looking down at our phones, that moment allowed me to really be thankful for places like Trader Joe’s. Where there is still a sense of community, of kindness, to look people in the eye when you speak to them, and it reminds of a simpler time when we actually engaged with each other.
Maybe I’m just jaded from all the Asian grocery stores out there, where elbowing others to ensure you get a bag of discounted persimmons seems acceptable.
There’s a lot of options out there when it comes to groceries, but I typically opt for Trader Joe’s. It’s not just the way they conduct business, but their food is fricken delicious. And, their prices are set affordably so one does not need to obtain a second job to put healthier, home cooked meals on the table.
Additional reasons why I love me some Trader Joe’s:
*(usually) Plentiful parking
*Un-​fricken-​believably delicious ice cream sandwiches (I mean, these things are mountain top declaration worthy)
*Area in the back where you can sample the day’s food promotion (who doesn’t like to try before they buy???)
*(In San Diego) Great selection of craft beers
*Employees who seem genuinely happy, even when it is super crazy (day before Thanksgiving, for example)
*They only carry paper bags (and give you a raffle ticket if you bring your re-​usable bag)

You will not find anything better than Trader Joe’s! From their prices, the samples in the back, to the friendly staff… I seriously love this place.
Holidays are my favorite, so when they start stalking up on seasonal flavors in desserts, bakery goodies, and others, I get so happy!
I will forever be obsessed with their chunky guac made with Greek yogurt. Healthy and deliciously good! I love to pair it with Trader Joe’s brand blue corn tortilla chips!

Super friendly and they have the small carts for the kids (unlike my Bressi Ranch location). It’s a bit smaller than other locations but it had everything I needed.
Clara was my cashier, friendly and quick!
I’ll be back!

Personally, I love Trader Joe’s. This one is rather small. But they have a pretty good selection. Customer service is good. Produce is fresh. They even have flowers, (hint, hint guys).

Great store. Friendly employees. Great items. My only issue with this store is that they let people bring their dogs into the store. I was shopping one time and a woman had her dog set-​up in the shopping cart. I felt that was going a little too far/​unsanitary. I mentioned this to Trader Joes and never heard back.
If you don’t have an issue with dog hair — the store is just great.

Trader Joe’s is still one of my favorite places to shop. I love the relaxing sound of the Hawaiian music as I enter the store… instead of rushing right thru, one can just kick back and take the time to getting to the next items needed.
My favorite part of any Trader Joe’s trip is seeing what is new… and…I like to buy it and try it. Tonight’s selection is «Baconesque» Bacon Popcorn… mmm…a roasted flavor. You just never know what you will find, but you have to take your time!

The fun music upon entering and exiting puts me in a good mood.
Shopping here is a neat selection as it is different from your typical grocery store, with their brand names and variety of healthy options in the mix.
I usually get orange juice, almond milk, brown rice, cookie butter, frozen fruits, frozen veggies, salmon burgers, dried fruits, nuts, chips, snacks, frozen pizza minis, spinach, and kale from here. Their bulgogi beef is super delicious also as is the pasadena salad, and their sushi: crunchy shrimp tempura roll. Also they have the Charles Shaw wine here (Two Buck Chuck) if you want to keep it classy.
The workers are always great with positive energy and usually pretty quick even when they get a big rush.

This TJ’s has super friendly, helpful employees. The parking lot has some problem areas, and can be a nightmare at times because of the narrow entrance and divided parking lot.
In general, I like most of the Trader Joe’s products. I buy my eggs, milk, bacon, mushrooms, chocolate, cereal, nuts, and olive oil here.
I have given up buying any kind of bread here, because it is either stale, or goes moldy immediately. I’m bummed that some of the best items are holiday only, and that they keep retiring products after I get addicted to them.
I also have an alcohol allergy, and I get fatigued trying to read every single label. Lately it seems that more & more of the products have alcohol in them, I guess they think it makes it fancier? Save me.

My local Trader Joe’s. I love coming here… for samples! It’s great they have samples because it gets people to try their products. A few times I have purchased every item they had to sample.
Love browsing what kind of plants they have. I love it when they have succulents. I have taken a few home with me. Some have lived and some have died… I don’t know how to take care of plants.
I love Trader Joe’s products. I mainly come here for their yogurt. The yogurt that says vanilla & cream is my favorite. They have this good goat cheese with apples also. It goes well with their pita chips. I also love their chocolate kona coffee truffles. I swear I can finish an entire bag of those chocolates.
Their selection of wine is great. I usually browse every section until I find a bottle I want to try. I love red wine.
The staff is great. Always friendly… a few will crack jokes. It’s definitely a great place to do some grocery shopping.
