Trader Joe’s

I love this place… Value, quality, selection… and in this particular store, the service is ALWAYS FANTASTIC.

I’m on a review kick so I figured I’ld write a review of my favorite place to shop… This place makes grocery getting fun, fast, and affordable! The staff are extremely knowledgable on everything in the store. You’ld think they where quizzed on the stuff! They are all seriously friendly. You can’t go in there in a bad mood. It won’t last. One of my favorite parts is their free samples and return guarantee. If you want to try something just ask and they’ll pop it open for you to taste. And if you go home and still decide you don’t like it you can return it no questions asked! They have a great selection of vegan treats! Everything is so cheap it’s unbelievable! This is almost the only place I shop! Other than a farmers market I don’t go anywhere else. This will beat Publix, Whole foods, and Aldi’s put together! Go here and you will see!

This new location opened just a few months ago, I’ve shopped a few times and find prices on many items less that other stores.
Great produce priced less than other local supermarkets…
And, they have the absolute best BOBKA ever… I was pleased to find that they have a Weiss beer that is as good as any of the German brands

Wow what’s not to like. All different labeled do most people are reading all the labels, carts left everywhere. Nice stuff. Only problem when parking on the other sided the median/​lit, there’s bypass thru, you have to walk around if the lot. Plus emit brand new & it’s not leveled, bumps with cart full not easy. Otherwise it’s the Bomb& the workers really do help you out .Bön appétit
5÷15÷16 again can’t be beat so differentv

Trader Joe’s is a very nice pseudo-​grocery store that specializes in hard-​to-​find food type items. Exotic fruits, berries, vegetables, meats, fish, cheese, and prepared items line the spacious shelves. Joe’s frequently offers tasty samples to stimulate your palette.
If you’re preparing an exotic dish and can’t find all of the ingredients– Go to Trader Joe’s
If you can’t decide what to have for dinner and don’t want to eat out – Go to Trader Joe’s
They have a huge selection of entrees, pizzas, rice, beans, spices, juice, wine, beer, vitamins, supplements and ingredients for cooking almost anything you can imagine!
Trader Joes has that distinctive smell that healthy stores have. I don’t know what it is but I wish it would go away.
I enjoy browsing the aisles and watching the customers read the labels with intense concentration to see how healthy they are about to become. Former and current hippies join with businessmen and women and people in their 20’s and 30’s (among others) to make up the Trader Joe’s clientele. They all seem to find what they are looking for to prepare a delicious night’s meal!

I just adore having TJ’s in the neighborhood! It is so easy to shop and fast! I love that they only have two choices of this or that! My husband says I may be a socialist I just say «why do I need 27 choices of sour cream???»
If I need something like sour cream I can just run in and out and I’m done.
Not to mention I have never purchased a bad product yet!
Great work trader joes Inc.

My favorite grocery store in FTL! Luckily it’s less than 10 min away.
They have the freshest produce! I am partial to the pears and avocados in particular. The deli selection is great, gotta try some of the wraps or sandwiches. Especially good for a day at the beach or an impromptu picnic.
They have the best food selection. Plenty of gluten-​free, organic and preservative free food. And all at good prices! I honestly don’t know how the prices are so low… Like it really doesn’t make sense.
Try the wine section as well. I always pick up a bottle for guests or for special occasions. Any day of the week counts for that!
The only thing that sucks is they close at 9pm! Like really?! Despite that, they still get 5 stars.

Trader Joes is amazing! Everyone who is skeptical about this store, JUST GO. I haven’t met one person who went and said they didnt enjoy it. It may be a little packed at certain times of the day/​days of the week, but its sooo worth it. They have amazing deals on pretty much everything. In addition to the deals, this place is vegetarian heaven! I’ve already tried 3 – 4 new fake meat products that weren’t offered at publix, fm, and whole foods. The parking is decent. People are courteous and friendly at this location. The staff are so nice too. Like I said, It can be a bit overcrowded sometimes, but it’s avoidable if it’s really bothersome.

All the Trader Joe’s properties are amazing but this one stands out in particular from my experience the other day.
The manager checked me out since I ducked in the store at 8:55 (a couple minutes before closing). I was telling him about how I lived in Coconut Creek but I keep forgetting to bring some spinach that has gone bad because I never opened it. He didn’t even let me finish the sentence, he ran off & grabbed a bag of spinach off of the shelf & told me to throw away the other one when I got home.
I mean what great customer service! It was amazing to see that there are businesses out there who still care about their customers. Also, being part of the millennial demographic doesn’t help much as I went to college, couldn’t find a job after college, am in massive debt, but still like eating organic food and Trader Joe’s makes sure that I’m able to buy it.
Low price points, friendly customer service, amazing organic products? Come on people, it’s a no-​brainer. If you’ve never been, you need to go.

The best Trader Joe’s in South Florida… not that we have too many of them to choose from!
The staff at this store is always friendly, but not in the «we’ve been instructed to smile» sort of way, but a real genuine happiness that you don’t seem to find too often. There are ALWAYS at least a few Trader Joe’s crewmembers passing out samples — you can often find Trixie manning the sample bar in the back of the store next to the free coffee. Yes, that’s right. Trader Joe’s also gives you free coffee while you shop… other stores could really learn from this example of customer service done right!
The fruits and veggies always look great and they’ve got plenty of other fun stuff like flowers and awesome greeting cards priced at just a dollar. Their beer and wine section is our go to spot and has several Trader Joe’s exclusive bottles which are priced affordably enough that you can go home with a few!
Look around the store for Hugh Manatee — he’s a stuffed manatee with a Trader Joe’s crewmember nametag that migrates around the store and always makes us smile.

Being such a huge fan of Trader Joes I was ecstatic to learn that we were getting our very own in FTL! The location opened with a boom and Trader Joes Products are flying off the shelves!
Despite this location not being very large with less inventory than other TD’s I’ve been to, their product and shopping experience is one that only Trader Joe’s can claim as their own.
Their parking lot is not the easiest and will most likely cause problems once the strip mall on Federal Hwy gets occupied with business but for the meantime no matter what time we pull in I can always find a close spot! The exterior of the building is well kept and always clean giving you a pleasant start to the «Trader Joe’s» Shopping Experience! First step in and you can feel the difference. Organization– Friendly Employee’s– Reasonable Pricing!
Each isle is clean, organized, and shopper friendly. Most of their products are Trader Joe’s Brand making them a fraction of the cost of Brand Names or even competitor brand pricing. Quality is 100% there if not better than the other leading brands and I prefer to buy Trader Joe’s for the majority of our goods!
Customer Service at Trader Joe’s is unlike any other Super Market I have been to in each of the other five states I have lived in. Each employee is happy to help, actually shows you to the product you are looking for, and are always accessible! There is an abundant amount of employees on the floor helping customers and organizing/​restocking! Checking out is also another aspect that sets them apart. It is actually enjoyable as the cashier is not disinterested but engaging and attentive!
The catch with their products especially with promotional and seasonal items is that once they run out that is usually it for that season. So if you see it and like it, get your hands on it! Each visit there is always a tasting going on; it ranges from Wines/​Champagne/​Food and Coffee is always available to sample!
Although this is not a one stop shop store they do offer a lot and with a lower price tag! Their Cheese, Produce, and Beer/​Wine Department are the real money savers with quality and freshness! If you are a Cheese head then check out their Cheeses as they are always changing with a nice variety!
If you haven’t submerged into the Trader Joe’s Lifestyle then stop wondering and get exposed!

I was happy to finally be able to get around to checking out this location and a Trader Joes store in general to be honest, so j was excited after everything I’ve heard.
First off, most of the staff was super friendly except for one lady in produce who didn’t seem like she wanted to help me at all. I asked one girl what she thought of the Organic Tomato Soup and she said she never had it but she’s be more than happy to let me try a sample, albeit it wouldn’t be hot due to no microwave. Glad I did because I ended up buying it!
Everyone always talks about how amazing the prices are here and how great so many items are. Price wise, I wasn’t crazy impressed especially since everything tended to be in smaller packages. For me, this is the kind of place I’d go to get items for special occasions or items that are priced inexpensively compared to Publix or Whole Foods, not for everyday necessities.
And I would like to say that the GM Armando is super nice! Just wanted to throw that in there!

Can I just please say that this is my new favorite grocery store, and that on week nights when my boyfriend and I are bored, he asks me «Do you want to go to Trader Joe’s?» and sometimes we actually do. What do we have to lose? They have awesome prices, lots of personality and charm, and awesome, happy staff members.
I’ve been waiting for one to open close to home for months now. I remember when the Davie location opened, then the Boca one, and now here it is, our very own Trader Joe’s in Fort Lauderdale. I’m not sure if this is just a universal expectation or if I’ve just been particularly lucky at all of the ones I’ve been to, but the staff here are always SO cheerful and helpful — almost like they screen for natural, baseline happiness levels prior to hiring, then treat them really nicely to make sure they stay that way. Trixie is my favorite — she’s always handing out free samples in the back (is that why we know her best? Maybe, maybe not).
We always buy their cheap beer and wine. Also, they have delicious loaves of ciabatta bread for like $ 2. Their mango black tea is also fabulous. They often have great deals on fruit, as well.
Hooray, Trader Joe’s.

What isn’t there to love about Trader Joe’s? Okay maybe the parking can be a bit crazy. But thats why I waited for the crowds to die down, coming a month after opening and an hour before closing time. Parking was a cinch!
The store is set up like any other Trader Joe’s but that’s nice because you’ll know where everything is. The produce looks great, the frozen food selection is nice and the colorful flowers at the entrance just give you a happy feeling. I can’t wait to start doing more of my shopping here!

Though there isn’t anything that sets this particular Trader Joe’s apart from any of its others, it’s the similarity with all of the other Trader Joe’s that draws me to it.
They all have the same great marketing concepts, the success of which really shows with this store already estimated at dong more than $ 1,750 in sales per square foot of floor space. That is way above and beyond that of any of their other nearby competitors.
The marketing concepts of Joe Coulombe, founder but no longer an owner are relatively simple and carried forth in this store. He targeted the urban over educated underpaid market, creating what are neighborhood market atmospheres having a casual laid back warmth about them. Though some may call it a market based upon booze, it’s more than that. You do have to credit Trader Joe’s with an inventory of quality tasting wines sold at affordable prices; proof that you can get a really good wine for less than $ 10. Adding to that, besides the kicky charm of employees dressed like something out of Margaritaville, the employees are selected for having a good personal demeanor along with being possessed of a certain friendly charm; so much unlike clerks in competitor stores who you’d swear were overdosed on nasty pills. Dealing with the pleasant attentive staff of Trader Joe’s almost makes more look forward to going out shopping.
Then there are so many in house labeled Trader Joe’s items. In most stores I avoid such in house labeled items finding them inferior to name brand, but not at Trader Joe’s. In fact I find most of their in house labeled goods superior to name brand and what’s more with a far greater, far more unique number of items, with some, as far as food items go, being rather sophisticated in nature.
Overall, one thing about any Trader Joe’s store is that they go out of their way to understand their customers and their customer needs, even to the point of not only following trends but in fact actually creating them. Indeed they seem to have figured out certain cheeses, beers and food items I’ve needed and wanted before I even knew I needed them or wanted them. LOL!

I was just leaving Dania beach and on my way to the TJs in Pembroke Pines when I saw a Unilocal friend check into this brand new location I wasn’t aware of, which was a whole lot closer to where I was at the time!
The store was fully stocked and the staff were friendly and helpful, the layout was similar to the others I’ve been to before so I was able to navigate the isles quickly.
If you haven’t been to a TJ’s before, stop waiting around! The prices are great and the there are many items that can only be found here, and now that we have a few stores to choose from there’s no excuse not to go. In fact, you’ll probably start finding excuses TO go after you’ve experienced it.

Forgive me, for it has been 6 days since my last review ;)
I came to Trader Joe’s just after it opened in Fort Lauderdale. The place was a mad house! So many excited shoppers. I’ve been to Trader Joe’s up north, but I never really saw the mass appeal. It’s just a specialty grocery store. I felt that way until I saw their flower section. I immediately fell in love! Oh my gosh the orchids!!! I bought the most beautiful pale yellow orchids for only $ 10?! What a deal!
Sam and I also fawned over all of the pumpkin flavored products. Man was the pumpkin coffee good! We also tried this pumpkin bread, forgot the name, that was out of this world.
Trader Joe’s really surprised me with how many products they sell that I am sure I would love. Unfortunately for me, I’m trying to eat mostly fresh food, and not frozen or boxed. Trader Joe’s seems to mainly sell the things I’m currently choosing not to eat. Oh well.
I will definitely be back for the flowers though!

I still remember walking into my first trader joes in cali in 2007 and was hooked then.
still hooked now and so excited to finally have one close to me. its pretty
its stocked, its friendly, its fast, its clean, its new. its ftlaud themed appropriately. I love all their products, especially their cult ones as well as their beauty products (that coconut body butter tho!)
can’t go wrong when trying to eat/​consume with consciousness and trader joes.
welcome to the hood

Grand opening day was a smash. Amazed at how well the staff deal with that many people. Super satisfied. This location is five minutes from our house so I can see that we’ll be regulars. The have some great beers and wines, interesting cheese. I wish they had more ethical eggs though– proper pasture raised!

The opening day event was run like a South Seas military operation. They have all the good things we have come to expect, and the fantastic service you get from one of the few retailers who treat their staff right. However, what really seals the deal for me is this fantastic location, less than five minutes from home.
