Trader Joe’s

Honestly I love trader Joe but this particular store I don’t like… They employees r annoying as hell & the store is so tiny & my experience there is always bad… ive lived many different cities across the us so i know some pretty amazing trader Joe but this I won’t be going back to. for now I will just stick to foodsco at least their cheaper too, for my short time in Fresno.

I am not a huge TJ fan. A lot of the offerings are not that healthy, you really need to look and read the labels!
But I do enjoy that they carry wine that doesn’t have sulfites, or has very little of them in the wine. And they’re offered at a reasonable price.

I love trader joes! When I was little I hated it because it was the healthy food store. Now that I’m grown, I take MY kids there and indulge in delicious goodies that won’t hurt my conscience. Granted, it MIGHT hurt my wallet. The groceries here are pricey but they are high quality and specialty items. There is ready made and organic everything. There are tons of oils and nuts to keep your heart healthy. There is a nice selection of wines and sweets.
This location, just like every T.J. I’ve ever been to, has super friendly associates. They really go above and beyond to help with a cheerful and outgoing personality. They make you feel at home. This store is clean and we’ll stocked. Did I already say I love it here? Well I do!
Items I would recommend:
COOKIE BUTTER!!! In the pumpkin spice variety as well!
Mediterranean hummus!!! Don’t forget the pita chips!
Ready made Ceasar salad with chicken breast
Pot stickers and gyoza sauce!!- the best!
Sriracha bbq sauce– in a crock pot with a roast!
Virgin coconut oil– on your nails and skin, on your food, in your hair! Baby, Coconut oil does wonders for everything!

You can never go wrong with Trader Joe’s. Lots of tasty, healthy options for reasonable prices. Great frozen options that are delicious when you don’t feel like cooking. Very friendly staff and clean store!

The best Trader Joes! If you show up talk to Marry she is a hoot! Get an ultimate pie it’s literally the best!!!

The food selection is unique and very good. Some of the items in the freezer section are restaurant quality meals, very cleanly prepared. And the staff is always friendly and helpful. Best grocery store in the area!

I was confused if this store was Abercrombie and fitch or was it a Trader Joes, cause the chic’s and dudes that work here are like genetically fortunate, almost model like and fit looking too probably from all that trader joes goodness. Its not just the people that are good looking, even the store is cute ! If you ever look on their walls and take notice, you will notice how unique this store is from any other stores, it has the beautiful painted mural of the Fresno name all over its high 15 feet wall,
ALRIGHT! Im getting off track here, to put it simply the Trader Joe’s brand is diversity on steroid, Trader Joe’s is a quiet, private and savvy grocery retailer that everyone falls in love with. Their store isn’t that big, but their selection, oh my god, can anyone say «amazing» everything from exotic ingredients to basic asian ingredients to even gourmet foods, they even have really good selection of non toxic cleaner and non toxic toiletries and beauty products. If you live in a big city, and there’s a Trader Joe’s nearby, you probably know that rush hour there is a madhouse.
Since so many urbanites like shopping for cheap, healthy (or at least healthy-​looking) food in a nautical-​themed atmosphere, peak hours such as weekday evenings and Sunday afternoons find the produce section packed, the aisles clogged, the refrigerated sections swarmed. Luckily in Fresno, that only happens on weekend, so most of the time, Trader joes is a grocery heaven.
Their non-​conventional culturally-​tailored approach and attitude is one that is deeply embedded in the roots of their business model and that makes them so unique: from their packaging, product selection, store layout and graphics, to their vendors, employees and management.
Apart from their cheap Phalaenopsis orchids, which are totally gorgeous,
Here are things you should consider buying:
Organic arugula
Organic chopped kale
Beets
Smoked salmon
Nuts of any and all kinds, but especially the single-​serving packages of almonds
Nut butters, also of all kinds!
Creamy Polenta With Spinach and Carrots
Popcorn (really, any kind of it)
Trader Joe’s Cilantro & Chive Yogurt Dip
Veggie & Flaxseed Chips
Sweet Basil Pesto Sausage
Young, fresh turkey at Thanksgiving
Coconut oil
Coconut oil spray
Almond Meal
Balsamic vinegar
Dark chocolate — all of them
100% Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee
Canned beans (no additives or other ingredients!)
Brussels sprouts
Balsamic glaze
Hard-​boiled eggs
Goat cheese
Spelt Risotto
Frozen Brown Rice
Light coconut milk
Wine (all of the wine, but especially their moscato asti)
Arrabbiata sauce
Apple cider vinegar
Pomegranate White Tea
Seafood Medley
Steamed Lentils
Mahi Mahi
Greek yogurt
Almond milk
Hearts of palm (in the jar)
Organic Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Sea Salt & Turbinado Sugar Dark Chocolate Almonds
Frozen naan
In a nutshell, you can’t go wrong with really anything from TJ’s in these areas: oil, vinegars, cheese, nuts/​seeds and liquor. Seriously !!!

I’ve been going to Trader Joe’s for years. I love their variety of goat cheese and their inexpensive beautiful flower bouquets! Also, I come for their cookie butter!

I have been a huge fan of Trader Joe’s since it opened! I have always been a label reader, and more interested in health. I love that Trader Joe’s guarantees on their website that they have no MSG or GMO’s in their private label products! This is amazing to me, and eases my conscious as I shop that I can trust the ingredients on the label. The staff is great there too, always helpful! Mike in the wine shop is awesome!

Ive been going to trader joes for so many years that i take this store forgranted! Everyone is always so nice and friendly here. They have all the things I would need and cheaper than whole foods. I’ve always loved trader joes.
Thank you trader joes for your specialty salads, cheese Chile tamales, and cage free eggs. Its a great place to grab a quick bite for lunch or dinner. There are many vegetarian options. Gracias!

Good selection of quality products at affordable prices

i have mixed feelings overall about trader joes. they are a massive multinational chain masquerading as a mom n pop. that in itself is not a crime imo. produce is consistently bad at all locations ive been to and this one is no different. i only come here for certain specialty items like curry chicken salad, premade veggis mixes, etc. lines are fast, workers are friendly.

Epic grocery adventure!
Best portions for couples and small families!
Reasons why I love Trader Joes. Allow me to count the ways.
1. Always courteous and helpful staff.
2. Always free samples available for taste testing items, new and old.
3. Always a great selection of flower bouquets, starting at 3.99 for your kitchen table or the rekindling of that one night stand.
4. Cookie butter. If you didn’t know, find out.
5. Amazing gluten free, organic, healthy options!
6. Best frozen food, by far. Orange Chicken, Tamales, French macaroons, etc.
7. Charles Shaw.
8. New, unique additions ALL THE TIME!
9. Trail Mix Selection in the mid double digits.
10. Best store bought Lemonade & Apple juice, bar none.
Love you Trader Joes.
Never leave me.

I like that Trader Joe’s has gourmet food and deals on wine and good quality coffee – they had cheap Sumatra 15 years ago or more, before the coffee snob thing hit American hipsters.
But their own product line is over-​watered tomato sauce thickened with corn starch, salmon burgers with tons of bread almost at the price per pound of fresh salmon, etc. etc. In short, i walk through the store scrutinizing labels because I’ve been tricked so many times.
The availability of products is also iffy. I used to be able to get blackcurrant juice, so hard to find in America, by the quart in bottles where their cherry juice is. But no more.
Their store brand air freshener was great. Both of these items suddenly disappeared.
OK, and this one might be my own problem. I know most people like to have friendly banter with cashiers, but standing in line, it is clear that staff have been trained to make sure they ask a question about your food, your day, and when you’re the fifth in line hearing it repeated with everyone in front of you, you start to question the genuineness of it all. Plus, I am there to buy food, not make a retail cashier who wears hawaiian shirts as a new BFF.

Very friendly staffers. This location has a mixed clientele, and it was nice to see the staffers treating each customer, regardless of demographics, with equal courtesy and respect. Produce was fresh, and items were well stocked. I really like the selection of grab and go lunch items (sushi, salads, pasta, etc). Oh yeah… and you can’t find cheaper grated parmesan cheese ($ 2.49 instead of the over $ 4.00 at Savemart and Vons).
And the floral section is phenomenal! Such beautiful bouquets at such reasonable prices! I know where to go the next time I want to brighten someone’s day!

Love this place! The staff is always so helpful & friendly. Great selection!

Love this store! It is a small store and it is always busy… BECAUSE the food and produce is fresh and good! Great place to stop for lunch and eat healthy! I shopped today and bought what they had on demo. Love this place!

Friendly staff members that are kind enough to make suggestions with some of your grocery shopping. It’s always nice to pick up something new, who knows it might be a favorite later! This store has a nice layout, fully stocked and has great traffic space.

This Trader Joes has the worst parking lot ever!!! I’m always afraid of someone hitting my car. It’s very tight and busy.
This location is always packed inside, too. It’s a small store and all the people bustling around inside makes me just want to hurry up and get what I need and get out ASAP. However, even if I want to get out ASAP it’s a little difficult since the lines are always astronomically long. At least the cashiers are always cheerful and entertaining. My cashier was singing the whole time today.
The TJ brand 100% cranberry juice and Dixie Peach juice are my absolute favorites!!! There is also a wonderful selection of cheeses, hummus, and Pita chips.

I’m a Tj adict and live in a place that doesn’t have them yet, so this review is a little biased!
Definitely on the small side, but the staff does there best with a smile and cheerful service!
Tons of salad choices, good samples, lots of meat and a decent selection of booze — which being in a hotel I’m usually limited to twist off of whatever I get!
Nice layout with enough room to get around the usual bottle neck by the salads and meats,
Parking lot is tough, I usually just park far and get my steps in!
