Trader Joe’s

Excellent mini peanut butter cups, but not enough parking.

Love this place on multiple levels. Err my gerd Olive Baguette, cheeses, popcorn, dill pickle seasonal popcorn too, and salads! Cheap water, wine. Other things such as vegetarian frozen lasagna without much sodium or fat (wait what? It’s a healthy frozen dinner??). Also Eclectic stuff you won’t find elsewhere.
It’s cool to shop here, although patience is a must when attempting to park. Be sure to schedule that as part of your shopping time!

Love coming here! I buy majority of my groceries from here. So much variety, prices are amazing!
Only downfall is the lack of parking, as everyone says.
If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend you come in and check out Trader Joes!

Last night was the first time ever I stepped into a Trader Joe’s — it was the same for my boyfriend. We went in with one goal in mind and one goal in mind only: TO GET MOCHI ICE CREAM. Needless to say, we went, found parking, and went nuts searching everywhere. My boyfriend ended up finding the mochi ice cream right away and I bought some mango and strawberry-​flavored ones. I AM ECSTATIC.
We then went to the cashier and had the sweetest lady attend us. Her name is Kathryn. She was extremely nice, efficient, and she even made some conversation with us about when we should go to Trader Joe’s. Apparently Sundays are the worst. I wouldn’t know — it was busy, sure, but it didn’t seem insane to me. Overall, this store served its purpose, employees were helpful, and the lighting was quite bright. I’ll definitely be back to give it a more in-​depth look. For now, one word and one word only: MOCHI.

I mean, who doesn’t love Trader Joe’s? If only it had better parking, I could give it 5 full stars ;) Still, that hasn’t stopped me from coming here every other weekend!

I give up, parking here is impossible
And if you try and go around properly to park some real nice guy in an Audi or BMW goes the wrong way and takes your spot.
Some day I’ll get to actually walk inside

This is based strictly on three products I purchased this past weekend.
1) Kettle Cooked Chicken Soup — beyond belief the amount of chicken fat in this foul tasting mess. How can you screw up chicken soup? Taste horrible, cannot imagine what the seasoning is. Unidentifiable. Bizarrely ground up chicken with gristle and tough and chewy. Totally gross. This soup is the worst soup I have tasted anywhere. Give me Progresso over this slop.
2) White Bean and Basil Hummus — Hummess is more like it. ¹⁄₈ cup of olive oil on top. Just stupid, I say. Adds tons of fat and calories. WTF?
3) Pickle Flavored Popcorn — What were they thinking? What was I thinking? Disgusting!

I was very happy when TJs opened in Miami. I had previously been to many (mostly on the West coast, with one in Seattle being my favorite.) I had to climb a mountain to get to it and this Miami girl was not prepared! But it was fun nonetheless.
I came once to this location on US1 near the Dadeland area when it first opened. Unfortunately, the battle for a parking spot can be very stressful and is simply not worth it for me. I hadn’t been back until recently when a friend wanted to buy the TJs chocolate covered mint marshmallows. I tagged along and snagged some goodies for myself… and the can of worms had been re-​opened!
Tensions seem to always run high here amongst patrons and I attribute it to the stress most experience when trying to find a parking spot. Today, for example, a young couple and an old man got into a very heated, very loud and distasteful argument over who was next in line to pay. Yikes! It went on for at least five minutes. I was so uncomfortable and just dieing to get out of there.
Reasons for the 3 stars;
— Lack of Parking
— I didn’t see any Insulated bags for my groceries and I really needed one since I had forgotten to bring mine.
— Only two bathrooms.
— MANY items did not have a sign. Today at least 15 of the things I was looking at. I’m not going to bother an employee for pricing that many times.
— Several items were out of place/​Not behind the correct sign/​price.
— None of the TJs have Delis.
Reasons I will continue to shop at TJs, on occasion;
— I love the small-​town feel.
— The signs are the cutest! I’m a sign girl.
— Prices on produce (and MANY other items) are lower than other stores.
— Their Hazelnut Chocoate bars are insanely good and cheap! Look for them at the registers.
— During today’s shopping trip I discovered a good 5+ items that I can’t find elsewhere.
— Free samples (usually coffee, juice or tea and a food item or two) and no one is trying to push the sale of the item (s) being sampled on you.
— The staff are always very nice!
TIP: Not everything is organic and many items are not all-​natural. Always read the label first.

Was in the neighborhood and decided to do a stop at Trader Joe’s for my weekly groceries. Let me start with the parking there is pretty tight had to circle the store twice for a spot. Once in the store I was pleasantly surprised on the prices for the food and the great selection of organic products. The store in general is pretty small but, I was satisfied with my purchases.
The liquor section is pretty awesome they have local beers and wines with great prices. If you are looking for brand products that are popular at other supermarkets your at the wrong place. This place strives on selling you the best and not to interested in spending money on advertsing your purchase. The staff was very friendly and attentive on helping you look for whatever you need. I will definitely be coming back.

My go to place for groceries, because most of their products are organic, seasonal and cheap. The only problem is that things run out so quickly and the place is so small so it’s like a Miami traffic jam, but with carts. I love the aloe Vera juice and since it runs out so quickly I had requested to put an order in (which you can do) to reserve 12 bottles. They told me they would call me later that day when the shipment came in, but they never called. Other than that experience, everyone is usually pretty friendly and helpful.

What is there not to like about Trader Joe’s? They have everything you can possible need and ALL the things you didn’t know you wanted! They really great part is… Its AFFORDABLE!!! I always get my dips, crackers, frozen fruits, dry fruits, and nuts from here. They have a great selection of healthy snacks!
The only downside to shopping at Trader Joe’s is it is hard to stick to your list because everything just looks so dang good!!!
Check their wine selection and craft beers!

I love this place so much. The only reason to not give it 5 stars is because I’ve seen a decline in seasonal products and ability to keep well stocked in the past year. However, prices for most items can’t be beat, especially for organic and high quality products.
My must haves for price and taste:
Produce — I stick with seasonal and local items, however, bananas, English cucumbers, and avocados are an amazing price year round. My favorite seasonal items are Brussels sprouts in the stalk (which sadly didn’t show up this year), and blood oranges.
Frozen items — orange or kung pao chicken, edamame in shell, bibimbap bowl, gyoza, pie crust, mochi ice cream. All their appetizers are delicious too.
Dairy — eggs, organic milk, Greek yogurt, cheese (omg the CHEESE. Beat prices I’ve seen anywhere, and an amazing variety)
Pantry — light coconut milk, farro, olive oil, almond butter, coconut oil, Dijon mustard (the best I’ve ever had!), almonds, dried orange cranberries, dried coconut strips, water crackers
Sweets — cookie butter, obv, dark chocolate cookie butter bar, pb&j candy bar, butterscotch salted caramel balls, fruit jellys… so much good!
In addition to the cons I mentioned before, this TJ’s has a very very tiny parking lot and gets incredibly packed in weekends. Best time to go is around 5 in the afternoon on a weeknight! But the staff is always awesome and willing to help!

I really like this place — its not my regular shopping spot but some of the stuff I pick up … like their cheap wine — I know I know you love it or you hate it but if you take a cheap wine and add frozen strawberries its yummy! Or sangria.
Really neat things that I don’t see anywhere else and it appears most are organic. Not sure about the frozen items they appear crystallized to me. Their cheese selection is fabulous because most of the selection is things I love lol
Yay! I’m a fan.

Everytime I stop by Tj’s I feel as If I was are a high end grocery store if there was one. Trader Joe’s is not an expensive grocery store at all, as a matter of fact some of the prices are my lower than a Publix. They have specialty items and their wines are pretty cheap too. It’s small bit cozy. I just enjoy shopping here. I don’t go too often but a few times a year.
A lot of their products have their own brand and that is how they can pass the savings to their patrons. I work in the food industry as a supplier so I know a little about chain stores.
Definitely a fun place to shop!

I love Trader Joe ’ s! Their products are tasty! It is deffinitely not a store where you will fo your weekley grocery shopping because their banded products come and go and never come back! But it is dtill wort visiting. They have the tastiest munchies on the world.
The staff is super nice and helpfull. They talked to you and you feel so comfortable in the store! If you are not a big talker thats going to be a problem: D you will find the staff restocking during the bussiest hours.
The only bad thung is parking! The parking lot is funny and always full! Do not go on a friday afternoon!
But the great thing about TJ is its product dample stands! You can try cheese, pumking pie and a lot more! I totally recommend their cheese! They have all the possible flavours — blueberry, cinemon and apple, goat and much more! What you have to get is 2 $ buck chuck! 2 $ wine that tastest perfectly!

Trader Joes is SIMPLY THE BEST. I go complete le out of my way to south Miami so that I can shop at Trader Joes.
Here are some things that I LOVE about this store:
The flowers: sounds random, but TJs carries the best selection of fresh flowers and orchids at amazing prices
Trader Joe brand products: TJs makes everything! Their own label products are wonderful and very well prices! I love basically everything, some examples include the extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, Belgian chocolate, muffins and raw almonds.
The samples: one of the best things about Trafer Joe’s is that they have a sample station! Taste their coffee, fruit juices and prepared food items. Today they were sampling roasted butternut squash au gratin and pressed apple juice. Delish!
The staff: the staff at TJs is PHENOMENAL! All team members are helpful, friendly and constantly have a smile on their face. Wonderful customer service!
I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a new grocery store experience.

This is my first time at trader Joe’s and I L O V E D it! I found parking easily, and the store isn’t so big but I think it’s just the right size. It wasn’t packed but pretty busy.
They were offering samples of baked pumpkin pie. But the reason why I had to come to this labyrinth of random heavenly deliciousness is because of chesse.
This weekend we had a pumpkin patch with trader Joe’s wine and cheese. It was love at first taste when I saw the apple cinnamon goat cheese. It is so perfect and delicious.
I regret not exploring trader joes sooner, but I’ll be back soon. Everyone was friendly in assisting me locate products, it was a speedy check out and I took their fearless flyer guys make your way to south Miami or Fort Lauderdale to a Trader Joes!

TJ’s for president.
I have a long history with the famed market, starting way back in ’03 when I visited California for the very first time, and marched my happy little feet into one of the first TJ’s around, in one of the most glorious locales I’ve been lucky enough to visit: Santa Barbara. Paradise found. At the time, employees wore those cute little Hawaiian shirts and rang the bell every few minutes. I was immediately charmed.
Since that visit I’ve taken every chance I got to visit TJ’s and fill my cart accordingly. When one opened in my hometown in NC, all I could think was «how unfair! I leave and TJ’s comes!: Alas, my prayers were finally answered and TJ’s has officially arrived in SFL.
Same as it ever was, TJ’s brings the goods at very wallet-​friendly prices. I’m talking organic produce, wine, snacks, sweets, cheese, breads, and just about everything else your heart desires, on display for you at a reasonable price and with high quality. Just the other day, my hubby and I shopped for two weeks and got out of there for under $ 150. That’s $ 35 a week per person!
Bring it on, TJ’s. Bring. It. On.

I absolutely love trader joe’s!
They always have great deals and cool treats! I love their Mac and cheese balls and cookie butter (must try!)
The staff is very friendly and every time I have gone they always have samples of yummy treats. Today, they had white cheddar popcorn with little bacon bits. I was skeptical at first but it was delicious.
It gets very packed, so try coming during the week and preferably at night! Hope they expand locations!

Staff is nice and welcoming.
I love that they have the toddler carts, my daughter loves pushing it around.
Cheap wine that is drinkable
Great affordable produce (organic)
Lots of yummy stuff such as cookie butter spread, the dips and hummus (tJ brand).
Love this place!
4 stars because the parking situation is terrible, specially when it rains. I also wish I didn’t have to drive 40 mins to get there, we need a KENDALL location!!!
