Trader Joe’s

I don’t normally review grocery stores but this Trader Joe’s is an exception. This particular one felt very much like a local store with even a mural of the city of Fremont. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. There are also free samples on occasion and free coffee that you can make as well. Another thing I must add is that there are many different varieties of snacks and groceries that you wouldn’t normally find elsewhere. It’s great and I love it here.

I fell in love with Trader Joe’s because they provide such awesome cheat snacks! This location is no different from others, but I do find that they carry a bit more of the items I like relative to other Trader Joe’s.
FYI: Everyone else knows them for their super cheap bananas too?! (19 cents each)
–Parking is spacious!
–There is a «fast lane»…10 items or less!
Hint hint to my friends on a diet: look for the labels with «reduced guilt»! Best decision you’ll ever make.
Only ding is that majority of fruits are pretty expensive…

Oh. How I am so glad that there is a trader Joe so near my girlfriend place. I love shopping here. They always have really fresh produce and everything look neat and organized.
The price for here is pretty reasonable comparing to other place. I often come here because they carried a certain product that I can not buy else where.
Staff are always funny and ready to help if you are lost and can’t find a a particular product. They seem like they want to help you unlike other store where it is hard to find someone to help you.
There is always come kind of free tasting in the back so go grab the free tasting in the back.
Overall, this place is a great place to shop if you looking for some different but tasty or if you want to try to be healthy. This place will be awesome for that.
Come check this store out!

Love, love, love shopping here for my groceries! Items are reasonably priced (in comparison to Whole Foods and Sprouts, which are also nearby).
The staff is super friendly and always willing to help even if they are in the middle of a task!
The lines are always moving fast (even during the typical Sunday rush).
Oh, and make sure to try their well-​known, COOKIE BUTTER! It is, without a doubt, the most addicting food item ever. Sure, it is definitely not the healthiest «butter» out there, but hey. a little fat never hurt anyone: P

Bought the salad on Saturday at the Fremont store. Started enjoying my salad for lunch today, until a small, sharp (pointed) stick like object pricked my mouth. Thank god, I realized sooner, before it got in my throat… definitely not a chicken bone, as it’s sharp and hard and is supposed to be all boneless chicken. Be careful if you purchased the «Broccoli Slaw & Kale Salad with White Chicken Meat»
Very disappointed, especially when you find something that MUST not be in your food…

Produce: Best at beginning or end of the day when it’s restocked. Not the freshest in comparison to nearby grocery stores, consume within one week.
Specialty Items: TJ’s is well known for the novelty food items and this location doesn’t disappoint. I’ve gone to other TJ’s and maybe it’s just me, but this one always seems to carry a lot more of the newer/​novelty items. I also love their pizza dough, salsas and wide-​selection of artisan cheeses, which are very fairly priced in my opinion.
Price: Fairly cheap compared to the other grocery stores nearby, definitely cheaper for the organic or natural food products that can be price elsewhere.
Service: Consistently helpful and friendly staff despite the crazy crowds.
Parking Lot: Worst part of this location. I always have issues with this lot, most spots are compact, and drivers are not the most cautious. Be careful in this lot or park further away, especially after work hours and weekends.
Overall: Good pricing and service, not the freshest produce items, but other items are worthy of purchasing.

I love all trader joe! My favorite spot to buy fresh great price Cali grown flowers! I recommend it to everyone!

I love this place! Great food at even greater prices. It so easy to shop here with my four and two year old. I have them find the stuffed animal while I shop. The samples are excellent and there is always something new to see.

This is my neighborhood grocery store and everyone, EVERYONE is so helpful and friendly. The store is nicely organized to find everything you need. Someone is always available to help-​even if they are in the middle of a task. I enjoy doing my grocery shopping here because it’s always clean and presentable. Trader joes is my favorite place to shop !

I used to love Trader Joes but I don’t know what’s going on lately. The past two times I have stopped in to buy a salad or something for lunch, both occasions I have not eaten what I bought because it just wasn’t fresh! The lettuce in the salad was turning brown and the wrap I bought was disgusting! Totally not fresh. If I hadn’t been in such a rush on my lunch I would have gone back! Step it up will you! The one thing I really love though are the staff! They cannot do enough for you! So helpful and really awesome! I always feel like a valued customer and this is what brings me back time after time but really you need to think more on terms of freshness as I’ve found that some of the products I’ve bought were not fresh at all. Once I bought veggie skewers and the next day they were all soggy. I’ll go back though. If this was just for the staff, Id have no hesitation giving 5 stars!

First review of the new year! So of course I picked a super busy Saturday afternoon to get my shopping done. The lines were crazy long. Like bleeding into the isles and then down them as well. BUT the cashiers were friendly and quick. The guy who helped me said the lines are long because of the new ATM chip. No joke, when it was my turn, I had issues with it as well.
Other than that. I love Trader Joe’s. Half the prices of Whole foods and just as good of items. I’ll be back for sure! No diet coke sold here. Sorry TJ! 4 stars is what you get.

Since my sister and I started the Whole 30 diet, we’ve been coming to this Trader Joe’s at least once a week. Conveniently located in the back of Fremont Hub, this place gets crackin’ in the evenings!
Honestly the food here is not that expensive and you can get through the small grocery store pretty quickly. A lot of really healthy and organic foods, and SO MUCH CHEAPER THAN WHOLE FOODS!
Even with the crazy long lines, they are really fast the registers so the wait isn’t too bad. I definitely recommend coming here as a good compromise for organic foods without robbing you of all your money.

If grocery stores were guys you dated:
— Safeway: the guy who’s very convenient, but nothing really stands out
— Costco: the guy who’s gives too much… it can get smothering
— Whole Foods: the bougie guy who likes to flaunt all his bling
— FoodMaxx: let’s be real, no girl likes a cheap guy
And then, we have Trader Joe’s. He’s the sexy, cool, and charming guy that you’ve been looking all your life. With a huge selection of everything you need to make food that is healthy and delicious, Trader Joe’s is the perfect grocery store. And the prices are totally affordable!
I’ve gotten salads, fresh veggies, meats, avocados, almond milk, coconut juice, mushroom risottos, and snacks on my many trips to TJ’s. You can even try a sample of a dish they’re making in the back. Grab yourself a small cup of coffee while you’re at it! The cashiers always have a smile on their faces, so I’ve always left the store happy.
Never letting this one go! ;)

I know that many others love Trader Joe, and I went back for another visit at 2 p.m. on a Sunday about as busy as it gets.
The management is to be commended for keeping all 7 or 8 cash registers open. There was no congestion in the space approaching the lines.

This is definitely my go-​to Trader Joe’s since it’s super close to me. I love Trader Joe’s because they have so much goodies for a super affordable price.
I mainly come here for their snacks (hehe) because they have the bombest snacks that is cookie butter flavored. Yeah, I really only come for the cookie butter because it’s so so yummy. They also have a decent variety of food though. I don’t come here for grocery shopping a lot, but I do see a lot of the things they offer in terms of your grocery needs. They offer a lot of more healthier options and also at a great price. Trader Joe’s is seriously the OG, before Sprouts and Whole Foods opened here in Fremont.
Overall, this is a more affordable alternative for your health craze. They might not have a lot of brands compared to Whole Foods, but they still have a lot of different varieties in terms of organic foods. Customer service is also pretty great here, too. I love coming here and this place just makes me so happy!

I love trader joes in general. I like their wide range of snacks and ice creams. The grocery section is lacking though.
This store is clean, well stocked, well staffed, and conveniently located. I love to get flowers from here– fresh and cheaper

Love Trader Joes! Not much more need be said — but that won’t stop me:)
Let’s see: responding to other reviews — I’ve never had a problem with TJs milk products. (Maybe it’s yr fridge?) The only thing I used to have a bad experience with was tasteless fruit but they seem to have fixed that (at least on par with any other grocery store — and just as often better. I do go to Safeway for perishables more often, as it is closer.)
One thing I enjoy is TJ’s consistent corporate culture at all locations of hiring friendly people, who can make the boring experience of shopping fun. There seem to be some slight product variations at the various stores but I’ve had much better experience of finding whatever I came in for than at say, Safeway. I have bought everything here from potted plants to staples, such as milk, and their prices are so much better, with quality at least as good. They even have reasonably priced nuts here! Hard to find anywhere else.
What I love best, besides discovering weird items here that you may not find anywhere else — is that when you buy junk food — such as TV dinners and candy — it will have GREAT ingredients, no weird additives, and it will be TASTY!

OK, I don’t know about the rest of you Bay Area folk, but I come from the land of Willow Glen/​Campbell, and that’s where the happiness ends. Just the name looks good people, that’s it.
This is an AWESOME store! First of all, there’s this weird thing here in Fremont called «parking» and there’s plenty of it! Then, when you go inside Trader Joe’s, and it’s SPACIOUS! You aren’t even using your cart as a shield to protect you from other shoppers, I have the ability to actually browse from aisle to aisle and not play customer dodgeball. It’s pretty amazing.
The best part? They close at 10:00 — that’s right, 10:00!!!
Most of you might think I don’t get out much, (you’re right) and I’m easily entertained by the most mundane things, (right again) but that’s how I roll. Then again, is there another Trader Joe’s with this good of a star rating? Hmmmmm …

I love all Trader Joe’s locations. They all consistently carry the same awesome stuff. They’re not all exactly the same, which is fun because it reflects the town that it’s in. My favorite things to buy here are the fresh cut flowers, spinach and bacon salad, chicken tikka masala, white cheddar puffs, fresh squeezed orange juice, Hansen’s ginger ale, and frozen macarons.
They also have a good selection of little potted herbs out front too.

Oh Trader Joe’s. When I was younger this place was the «expensive» food market for me. That is now what I call Whole Foods, and I’ll give Trader Joe’s the medium price bracket.
It’s a great place. It’s like Whole Food’s but much smaller and a bit cheaper. You’ll find great fruit and cheeses. Of course their cheese selection can’t compare to Whole Food’s, but it’s still pretty darn good. Mmmmm. They also have great mochi ice cream balls. They are so good! Finally had the mango flavor for the first time yesterday.
They pretty much need what you need to live a healthy and clean life, minus the alcohol of course. Well it has been proven that beer and wine in moderation can be good for you, I take back my last statement. Everything is good for you here.
Customer service is always top notch especially the guy who checked us out yesterday. Very friendly and started up a conversation with us about the cheese we bought. Pretty cool.
Overall, I love this place and hope to come back soon. Good job Trader Joe’s!
