Trader Joe’s

I love this place, always fresh products and affordable prices!!! The staff is very attentive and friendly!

I love this store and company. Rarely do I find a tjs product I don’t like. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Watch the time you visit (typically Saturday morning) or you will be dodging 2 yr Olds with distracted parents that are maneuvering their own mini shopping carts. They are cute but super mom’s tend to be oblivious!

Trader Joe’s aims to provide standard groceries but with a larger selection of healthy/​organic products. Compared to other «healthy» grocery stores such as Whole Foods and Fresh Market, Trader Joe’s are usually smaller in size. This may cut back slightly on selection but it adds to the charm. The nautical theme and overall décor augment that charm — making their stores look more like mom-​and-​pop shops rather than a chain. This specific location expanded a few years back — taking over the space that housed that God-​awful restaurant Belizzi’s.
They carry some brand names but most of their selection has their name stamped on the product. Don’t let these «generics» fool you — I’ve never found that quality suffers just because it’s their house brand. In addition to the healthy stuff they have a large frozen section and a lot of sweets to choose from. If you come around the holidays there are even more candies and such to choose from.
I’ve always found the customer service at this Trader Joe’s to be top-​drawer, all the staff are super friendly. I’ve read that the company treats its employees well and it definitely shows in their morale and commitment to their job.
Trader Joe’s may not have everything you’re looking for when doing your regular food shopping, but for what it stands for it does a good job, and is a nice alternative to the larger health food stores.

Not so convenient to me but I visit when I’m stumped for a simple but tasty dessert that I can fancy up at home (with chocolate, usually). Great selection of nuts and chocolates. Also flower and plant selection is fabulous, and CHEAP!

I like trader joes but I don’t like staffs here,
They are not organized and whenever I need help to reach the products that I can not get they just disappear and never offer any help.
They are not attentive, cashier is often slow and staffs just strolling around without doing anything.

Super convenient Trader Joe’s location in Larchmont. I just pull in and pull out right onto Boston Post Rd on my way home and I can pick up food necessities for a quick dinner. This one being in suburbia, you don’t get the insane madhouse lines that snake through the entire store like you see in Manhattan. The most I’ve ever seen is 2 – 3 people at each checkout register and each person working them is always pleasant and polite. Service with a smile! Very hard to find these days.
I always liked TJo’s for their business model and practices. Just about everything they sell is their own brand or small vendor sourced, which gives them great quality control and unique inventory if you want to try something new. The sample kiosk towards the back of the store always features a new food item for you to taste. You can wash it down with a free coffee sample right next to it. What I really like are the bananas for a flat rate of 19 cents each, no matter how big or small. Or you can opt to get the organic ones for 29 cents each. The produce for the most part are really fresh. Other staple items like milk and orange juice are TJ brands also and are on par in price with your neighborhood grocer or supermarket.
One thing that impresses me about TJ’s is their commitment to environmentally friendly practices. They use recycled paper bags (no plastic), but also give you a credit for bringing your own reuseable shopping bag.

Our local Trader Joe’s is pretty good. Not as large as some others I’ve been to, but this store is stocked with everything one would need to fill their pantry.
The staff is crazy friendly and they try to be as helpful as possible. The store is always clean, which is very important to me. The produce is quality, plentiful and cheap. They also have a good number of vegan friendly foods, as well as plenty of unhealthy snack food options too! Our dog loves their jerky strips and parsley bones.
Sometimes the aisles can get a bit crowded. I would recommend staying away on Saturdays and Sundays. The parking lot has been a bit hairy for the last few months. Not as crazy as the legendary Silverlake store in LA, but crazy nonetheless. Usually, I just park on the other end of the lot rather than try to navigate the maze of bubbleworld housewives, aggressive yuppie dads and unsupervised children running in front of cars.

I love this store. There are a lot of fresh and healthy lunch choices. Everyone is helpful and friendly. Seems like the management is doing a good job.

It is a trader jos without its charm!
Little boring location and workers aren’t as friendly or helpful.
Also, they don’t carry some items that are available elsewhere like organic baby arugula.

Though Trader Joe’s may pride themselves on customer service, I received exactly the opposite the day I was here.
I was standing in line when the cashier decides she’s ready to leave. Rather than put up a sign or address her concern to the correct person, she simply yells, «No more customers, I’m closed,» to the entire line. Since no one knew who she was talking to, we all stayed put. Again, she yells, «No more customers.» Finally, when questioned as to who she was referring to, she addresses me like she was speaking to a naughty child, ««After you!» Whatever.
I mean, really? I said I didn’t appreciate being spoken to like that and she claimed she wasn’t being nasty, even though it was obvious to me and everyone else in line that she was a complete bitch.

Every time I’ve been this place has been fully stocked and not as crowded in the city. There is plenty of parking. I only wish they had a wine shop like the one in Union Square

This trader joes has some of the nicest employes of any of their chain that I have been to. I live right in between this TJs and the one in eastchester. For some reason I always end up back at this one because I am just in this area more.
The staff working there is so nice, I’ve honestly never met a person working there that is not overly friendly and more than willing to help you find something or bag your endless cans of beans and bananas.
The only thing you have to watch out for is on the weekends and certain weeknights it’s a little wacky with people doing last minute shopping. Since there is no flow to the store it can be hard to navigate a cart through so beware of people trying to run you down as if their lives depended on one of their frozen dinners !
Over all will keep shopping here, time it out right and you could have a very peaceful shopping experience.

I love Trader Joe’s. There’s such a great selection of yummy, relatively healthy eats at incredibly reasonable prices. This location isn’t huge, but the fresh vegetables section is more than adequate and they’re rarely out of popular frozen fare (a problem I’ve run into at other locations), even on a Sunday afternoon. The employees are friendly and the store is kept clean and organized. The parking lot can get crowded but I’ve never not found a spot.

This location has greatly expanded since I last visited it a few years back. Bright and bustling with a larger cheese, meats and fresh vegetables section, TJ’s radiates a positive shopping experience. It’s not necessarily cheaper than other supermarkets, but you can still find some great deals and uncommon treats (like chocolate covered pomegranate seeds!)
What I especially like about TJ’s is its informal atmosphere. The Hawaiian shirt employees, the signage in bright chalk colors, bells ringing, the reasons for which I’m not at all sure! The outside looks a little drab, but walk inside and it’s bright and cheery with industrious crew members unpacking, stocking, cashiering and smiling.
First and foremost, Trader Joe’s has a great variety of produce and goods with a bias toward healthful and environmentally conscious products. It’s the closest you’ll get to Whole Foods without paying Whole Foods prices. Extra kudos for the expanded space — now it really feels like a supermarket.

I love Trader Joes. I pretty much always find what I need and everyone who works there is so helpful. They seem to restock the shelves a lot but it is small.

I adore Trader Joe’s. You have to come here not expecting what you get in the City (because it’s not the City) or in California (once again. not Cali) and look at what they have. If you go early in the morning or after work they are always stocking the shelves and normally can grab you something from the back if you can’t find it. Look at the wide selection of frozen food options and easy to eat foods for those nights you can’t/don’t want to cook. They also don’t have such a bad beer selection… it’s craft beers and their own TJ’s line at a good price. Staff is helpful too!

My initial visit was rather negative. I am not sure, but they had a bad day and they had nothing in stock. However, later, I found this store to be nice as they have plenty of kids’ carts for many of the kids to use while some of the other stores either do not have any or just couple.
It is not a very big one and the aisles are rather narrow and hard to shop sometimes and I do prefer other locations, but it is not bad. I would say it is not 4, it is 3.5.

Tiny and not well stocked. Also doubt the freshness of some of their perishable goods. Unless you know where it is, there isn’t a sign on the road until you have driven past the entry to the parking lot, requiring a double back after several blocks. Rather annoying.

Smaller than the Union Square location and no wine shop next door. It can get busy but definitely not as busy or crowded as the Union Square location.
For a quick TJ’s fix, this is the place to go. There’s a parking lot that serves other businesses and I found no problem with parking on a weekday in the evening. Because of size, I found selection limited and when they’re out of an item… they’re out. But at least employees are willing to check, «in the back,» for you.

This place really is small. Even compared to the Union Square location. But at the very least, almost EVERYTHING is in stock and I’ve gone right after school-​time and had no problem milling about and checking out. Parking may be an issue. Weather permitting, bring your bike.
