Trader Joe’s

I LOVE YOU TRADER JOES!!! Such a HAPPY PLACE, the Disney World of markets. I love the different seasonal items, I love the samples, I love the awesome prices, and the PEOPLE-​I LOVE THE PEOPLE! Trader Joe’s really rings my bell ;)

This is pretty good TJs location. It’s convenient to Route 3A and the commuter boat. The aisles are wider than the Hanover store, so it just feels a lot less crowded. Friendly, helpful staff.

So I live in Southie, which means driving to one of several TJ locations. I try to pick a different one each time because I haven’t found one I just «love». This one is by far the best! Very Clean, loads of produce options and super helpful staff. I have to admit this is on the outer limit of what I am willing to drive to for groceries but when I have extra time and want to enjoy a not-​so-​crowded-​you-​cant-​move, dont-​have-​to-​reach-​over-​peoples-​heads-​for-​cookie-​butter this will be my place. Oh, and have you tried those parmigiano rosemary marcona almonds? I. Die.

When will Trader Joe’s come to Quincy? Sigh. In the meantime, glad this location opened in Hingham not so long ago in the Hingham Shipyard – saves on the drive to Hanover which was the previously closest South Shore location. Aisles here are much wider than other locations, which you would think would alleviate the shopping cart congestion, but alas, no, wider aisles in a bigger store mean more customers. But, TJs is the master of checkout line control, and this location is no exception. I don’t know how they process people so efficiently, but they get people out fast and as friendly as can be. On this particular Saturday, employees where hustling to fill shelves as fast as people were grabbing items. Was like a feeding frenzy! Love the variety of interesting items you can find at TJs. They absolutely rule in the frozen and dry goods realm, but have decent fresh veggies, fruits, nuts, dairy, grab and go, etc. For the uninitiated, do not make the assumption that TJs equals healthy eating, prepared food is still prepared food. You still have to read labels.

Spacious, a lot parking, very friendly and helpful employees, fresh healthy food. I recommend this TJ’s…

Nice TJ’s. They were the regular size and had just about the exact products as Oregon. Of course the produce didn’t come from the west coast, but it felt like a slice of home. Good for vegan with a hunger issue in a city that apparently doesn’t do much with plant based food.
Thank goodness for Trader Joe’s!

This Trader Joe’s does not sell alcohol as there is a strict limit to the number of licenses in the town of Hingham. Bummer as they have great wine and beer.
Nonetheless, this TJ has a large selection of cheese, chips and dips, cereal, meat in small pre-​packed packages, fruit and vegetables, canned goods, ready made salads, and all kinds of really cool frozen food, including ethnic dishes.
Much cheaper than Whole Foods.
Located in the old Hingham Shipyard area just off Route 3A which runs from Quincy South to Plymouth, there is an ample free parking lot.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Spacious, ample parking, friendly helpful employees, fresh healthy food. They make the best Greek yogurt. It’s so good I can’t eat other brands. Dried cranberries are also superior to others. Love their cereal too! Try the himalayan pink salt crystals, very flavorful.

Never wanting to cross The Neponset, it is good that a TJ’s opened on the South Shore. Everything with their name on it, like the chip salsa, is pretty good.

A complete Joy to shop at and the best TJ’s I have been to. This relatively new freestanding light filled, wide aisiled, easy to park at store had everything plus I was ISO including, I think, some regional items I have not encountered at my usual dark, claustrophobic Trader Joe’s.
One of my favorite activities to do while on the South Shore is to explore their ever expanding food shopping options. Besides the Fruit Center and their Whole Foods, the residents and visitors to this area have some pretty amazing choices and it is fun to pull from all three.
Super nice check out clerk and helpful sales associates on the floor makes this branch of Joe’s my favorite evah (say it Boston style!).

We LOVE this chain of food stores. We needed dinner so we stopped by and bought our usual. We used to shop at the Hanover location until this one was built a few years ago. It’s close and the store layout is bigger and wider within the aisles.
Here’s our list (all 5stars) for tonight:
Pomegranate Limeade $ 2.69
Carrot and Ginger Soup $ 2.79
Corn and Chili Pepper Salsa $ 2.49
Green Beans French Style (Haricot Vert) $ 1.99 (A STEAL)
Meat Lasagna Family Size $ 5.99 (ANOTHER STEAL)
Balsamic Vinegar Glaze $ 2.99 (Raised price from $ 2.79)
Mini Orange Cranberry Scones $ 3.99 (Raised from $ 3.79)
The only bad item we’ve bought so far is Vegetable Lasagna. It was all around AWFUL. Don’t bother.

Trader Joe’s is really my favorite store to shop, but unfortunately this one did not come to the standard I usually see in Trader Joe’s. the store was large enough but everything was spread apart. Today was Monday and I figured they should be well stocked up but they were out of the things I had gone in for. There was lots of empty space through out the store. I did have a sales person approach me to see if he could help me find my item and his excuse was their truck had not arrived yet! It was 5 pm, it’s not even a holiday! Well I guess I need to go to a local one tomorrow.

I usually love shopping at Trader Joe’s, no matter what state I happen to be in. They have great prices and the staff is — 9 times out of 10 — upbeat, polite and helpful. This particular one in Hingham, MA is huge disappointment.
Their vegan selection is pathetic. I had to shop at the larger supermarket chains to specifically find vegan Tofurkey and vegan frozen pizza. I would have thought that TJ’s would carry an assortment of vegan meals. Also, their vegetables looks like they’ve been out for long time. Who is going to buy limp, decrepit vegetables at full price? Take it out in back so the fruit flies don’t come swarming.
Okay and this last time I visited the shop, I came up to a young, male cashier (named MATTHEW) who completely ignored me, never made eye contact, never said a word to me — until he was giving me my change. He said, «Have a good one», in a barely audible, robotic, unemotional tone. Plus, he gave me back my change in a way that made me feel like I was disease-​ridden. He acted like he didn’t want his fingers to come any where near my open, receiving hand. And no, he wasn’t just shy. Before I went into his line, he was yapping it up with another cashier and they were laughing together.
RUDE. In any service position, I thought it was basic, common courtesy to greet a customer with at least a «Hello». Funny how this little things matter. Not happy with you, Hingham Trader Joe’s. I’ve been to so many different TJ locations and yours is by far the worst. Oh the shame…

Prices are great, clean store, great selection. The staff I encountered were super helpful.

This is by far the best Trader Joe’s I have been to. I used to drive down here when I lived in Boston because it was so vastly superior to the Boston-​area stores. The store is expansive enough to allow for wide aisles, yet compact enough so as to not overwhelm the shopper. Staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Maybe I always went at the right time, but the store never seemed too hectic and frenzied like most other Trader Joe’s franchises. I also found that Trader Joe’s Hingham offered a more extensive selection of products, compared to other area stores. They also seemed better at keeping items stocked. The only section they are missing is wine & beer, but that’s hardly a negative considering how good this place is. I would highly recommend to anyone who lives even remotely in the area. It’s in a beautiful part of Hingham too, right on the harbor, and there is plenty to do in the Shipyard mall, so it’s well worth the trip.

I’m a huge trader joes fan. The cheese department value for party’s alone has me hooked. This particular location has amazing staff! Always super friendly and helpful per the usual trader joes behavior. I was there today and accidentally left my lights on. I needed a jump. The woman who works there went to her car in the worst windy cold rain and got her cables rendered help from another male employee and got me started. She then gave me a bouquet of flowers and wished me a better day! So genuinely kind and helpful. I did have a better day. I walked away from the experience feeling grateful! Love when humans rise to the occasion and impress! Hats off to trader joes staff!
Thank you!

Trader Joe’s is the quintessential store. Great service, Great people
Fran was so very helpful with my unusual request. A true gentleman!

This location is my least favorite out of all the TJs I’ve shopped at. The aisles are wide and spread apart making it easy to maneuver around the store. But they just don’t have all the items that other TJs have. Maybe because it’s a new store, I don’t know. I won’t be back since I have a favorite TJs that I like better.
It’s also out of the way and not off an exit of a highway.
3 stars because of the prices and value of Tjs goods.

Visited this store for the first time today. After having shopped at a bunch of TJ’s in the state, I can safely say this store is the crown jewel of all it’s Massachusetts locations.
Store is pretty large; definitely one of the biggest locations in the state. No wine however, but that’s no skin off my back since I don’t drink.
Nice wide aisles. Everything was very well stocked, even on a busy Saturday afternoon. And everyone working in the store was very friendly and seemed to be liking their jobs. Try finding that at any other grocery store in the area.

Trader Joe’s has finally come to Hingham! This is such good news for those of us in the neighborhood since the closest one has been in Hanover which has been a few too many miles away for me to want to go there often along with its too small, uncomfortably crowded shopping experience.
But not here!
This brand-​spanking new store is right in the Shipyard making it convenient not only because it’s close to home but is easy access for us ferry commuters to stop in after work.
This place gives some stiff competition to the ridiculously pricey Fresh Market also housed in the Shipyard.
I stopped in this morning to find loads of friendly, smiling, helpful and energetic staff, wide aisles offering plenty of space for me and my cart and all the Trader Joe’s products I’ve come to love.
Sadly, no liquor license here… I’ve yet to try their wine. But nonetheless between this new TJs, the local Whole Foods and the Hingham Fruit Center, I’m in grocery shopping nirvana here on the South Shore.
