Trader Joe’s

This place is a great place to go for specialty foods. I love the balsamic chicken breasts there and the lines move quick during rush hour.

A great store. You can really tell that they treat their employees well because this is reflected in the quality of service. I suspect this is because Trader Joe’s is a private company unlike other public food stores where wall street has taken over and their employees are paid low and turnover is high. Top selection of products also. I hope it stays this way :)

I LOVE Trader Joes! I’ve been going to the one here in Fairfield since it opened and what i enjoy about what they offer is fresh salads to go, all different kinds! Perfect for a light lunch or dinner! Love their different snacks and goodies… my latest favorite is the Sriracha Bacon Jerky… OMG sweet and spicy and so tasty! There’s something for everyone here, and the prices are decent too… for some products, less than Stop & Shop or Shoprite. Can’t forget their assorted flowers and plants… depending on what you want, better quality than a florist. Be prepared to stand in a long line especially it’s a busy shopping day… try going when they first open in the morning or right before they close. Parking is tight as that shopping plaza is always hopping busy, again, be prepared to park further away such as at Panera. The staff at this TJs is terrific; the cashier who helped me today was awesome!

Like all Trader Joe’s the food is limited and organic produce mostly the core or pit of fruits/​vegetables and overpriced. Staff is friendly though. They need a bigger selection and competitive pricing.

Friendly as always and cute east coast bags! The store is more open than the stores on the west coast, but I love it just the same.

Trader Joes is a fantastic supermarket and this one star in no way reflects my feeling on the chain overall. What it does reflect is my satisfaction with the availability of certain products and the ability for this store to maintain a consistent inventory. Constantly on Sunday evening their shelves look bare, certain popular products are always on the verge of being out of stock and they can never manage to guess when a «run» on the supermarkets will take place. For instance how hard is it to figure out the weekend after Thanksgiving and Christmas will be very busy. I have left many times spending less then I intended and went across the street to shop right to conclude my shopping. The person who manages inventory needs to shape up.

When I get the chance, I always try to get my college grocery shopping done at Trader Joe’s because I love all of the products. This is a rather large store for a Trader Joe’s that carries a lot of product, including beer. This is compared to the one in Westport, which is tiny and doesn’t have much of a selection. The staff is always friendly and there are always samples available. Only problems are that some items aren’t always available and on the weekends, this place is a mob scene. Fairfield moms all over the store and at Pier 1 next door. Try to come here Monday-​Friday.

I have been an avid shopper at Trader Joe’s. This is by far the nicest one I have ever been too. Absolutely the friendliest staff!

Trader joes is a great place to go for organic and healthy foods and snacks. One of my favorite chicken dishes they have is mandarin orange chicken. I also go there for organic fruit and produce. Their blueberry pancakes are great and I always get trader joes maple syrup. It’s my go to place on Saturday.

I’ve always been a huge Trader Joe’s fan, but this location gets the extra star for spacious aisles and a large, accessible parking lot. Also for a small store with such great merchandise, the prices are unbeatable!

Great store full of great food. Try for more gluten free stuff mister.

So much fun to shop here. Not enormous like Stop and Shop. The Fairfield store is expanding-​a testament to their good selection and service. Everything is presented in such a cute and creative way. makes food shopping appealing. Best is the small shopping cart for the small shopper. Only reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars is because the prepared food I’ve bought is never good. The sandwiches taste like they’ve been in the fridge for a week. The falafel plate had yucky bland hummus and the taboule was inedible. It tasted like there was detergent in it. Bottom Line: I recommend for everything other than prepared food.

This isn’t my one-​stop place for all my grocery needs but that being said I have a constant list of items I can only find here. Mostly because I love so many of the exclusive TJ made items. The prices can’t be beat! This is the only place I’ll get nuts and dried fruits for baking because of the lower cost. They also have a nice selection of flowers, sometimes fresher than others but more than not a good go-​to for reasonably priced bouquets.
The biggest downside is most often I go during «rush hours» (any weeknight between 5−7pm) and the store is annoyingly crowded. Monday nights are by far the worst. I try to get everything I need in an overloaded hand basket because its pure aggravation trying to maneuver a cart around. They do a good job about having enough cashiers at checkout but I still find myself waiting in long lines. My only other qualm is that if I do find a new loved product I find myself stocking up in fear I won’t see it on the shelves again. I guess that’s part of offering exclusive/​store brand items but it’s upsetting to see things I love go missing for months on worse, forever.
Still a great place — clean and organized with a very friendly staff. I don’t know what I’d do without them. My mom is obsessed with making a trip here when she visits from out-​of-​state. Other neighborhood markets just aren’t the same.

Haven’t been here in a while, but loved it when it was right around the corner from me when I lived in Fairfield.
So many unique and delicious items.
Some favs: There’s a 3 layer hummus or roasted red pepper, original and pesto. Frozen chocolate covered banana pops. Frozen green tea mochi. They have a Trader Joe branded brie cheese that has a minimalist label. Trader Joe brand soy milk.

This has to be the Best neighborhood supermarket. The specials are always good, the tasting bar always something good to try out. But what sets Trader Joe’s apart from the big supermarkets are the great prices on all the organic stuff. For Example the Dried fruits and nuts are price way below Stop and Shop and a gallon of Organic milk is less expensive and has an expiration date that is well 2 to 3 weeks good. And The peanut butter selection is great Organic and cheap. I have been shopping here for 2 years now and I love it.

I love shopping @ Trader Joes. I’ve shopped @ all the locations: Darien, Westport, Milford & quite a few up/​down the coast of Cali & there they sell wine! But this is good ‘ol New England so this isn’t an option!
Excellent variety of international cheeses @ very good prices! Their dairy options over all are excellent whether it be organic milk, Greek yogurt, ice cream made w coconut milk– the list is endless.
If you are vegetarian or vegan or gluten free there are tons of choices in both fresh & frozen as well as baking, cereals etc.
They carry everything from the typical ketchup to obscure east Indian condiments, baking ingredients, imported olive oils & frozen pizzas to vitamins & dog food, fresh cut flowers, plants, seasonal & sometimes local fruits & veggies.
The service is always friendly and helpful & check out is fast/​cheerful.
They offer food samples & beverages too!
Very clean bathrooms also. Large private parking lot.

The only reason I gave this place 4 stars is because I sometimes feel like I need to sleep for 2 days straight in order to recover from going there when it’s crowded. I avoid TJ’s like the plague around dinner time and on the weekends. That’s when all of the Fairfield moms stand in the isles with their eyes glazed over looking like they’re hoping someone will conveniently kidnap their screaming children. It makes me wish I had a cow pusher attached to the cart.
Other than that I go there for their uniquer flower selections (although you have to get there before 3 or 4 if you want a decent selection) and basics when I would rather not go to stop ‘n shop. You can usually count on them to have fresh herbs, too.

If you only go to Trader Joe’s in Fairfield for the customer service alone, then you will be a better shopper for it. Ever notice when you «dare» to ask Miss Bön Qui Qui at Stop & Shop or Shop Rite to help you find an item or god forbid, ask that they help you bag, she just sucks her teeth and says «I’m goin’ on my break.» This never happens at Trader Joe’s in Fairfield. The whole team bends over backwards, sideways, and forwards to make sure that you find what you need and are happy finding it. Long checkout line? The bell rings immediately and they open up a new line. That stuff NEVER happens at Stop & Shop; Stop & Shop is like the post office where they just let you rot in line. Only downside to TJ’s in Connecticut is that they don’t sell wine. Mmmmm… Two Buck Chuck.
