Trader Joe’s

I love Trader Joe’s! We don’t come here near as often as we should, though, with it being out of our way, and we live right by a Hy-​Vee. However, I always walk out of Trader Joe’s and ask, «Why don’t we shop here more?»
Let’s start with the wine selection. There is wine at every price point, from $ 2.99 to $ 29.99. If you’ve never had three buck chuck, then you are missing out on life. Charles Shaw never lets me down.
I also love the pre-​cut and packaged vegetables. Sure, it seems like a small thing, but it makes preparing a meal so much easier when I can throw things straight into the pan vs. having to take the time to cut them all first. The frozen section is also great, offering a wide array of prepared, frozen meals, along with side dishes (frozen rice is fantastic!) and desserts!
The one down side is there isn’t a meat counter, but it’s not a huge deal, as they do have some selection of beef cuts. I would recommend hitting up Just Good Meat or even Hy-​Vee if you are looking for meat, though, as the selection is limited.

Trader Joe’s makes me happy ! This store is wonderful and the staff is great ! The first time I visited this store I was afraid it was going to be pricey but that is not the case. With bananas being 19 cents each, bundles of flowers at a great price and all the wonderful other products being at great prices. I can walk out with a nice bag full of stuff for $ 25 and be happy about it ! Oh and since its Close to the holidays they have the most wonderful chocolate bar that only comes out once a year (Stock up trust me !!). The staff has always been friendly and helpful and since they try the new products out they can tell you all about them so don’t be afraid to ask. They always have samples of a drink and a food and it is almost always great !! Love you Trader Joes !!

LOVE Trader Joe’s. Reasonable prices for everything (except maybe their meats and seafood).
Make sure to check out their wine section, lots of variety starting at $ 3.
Lots of natural products for your pets, home and body care. All natural tea tree oil shampoo and conditioners are just $ 4 a bottle. Everyone here is also helpful and friendly, like they genuinely enjoy working for TJ.

I have always been a fan of the great quality food at a reasonable price. I also feel they have some of the best customer service. .today was another example of Trader Joe’s customer focus. .it was my birthday. .at check out we were ask how we were and about our day it came up that it was a great day because it was my birthday. .so the check out guy said «happy birthday «and told me to pick a candy bar on him. I picked a candy bar .Best chocolate ever! I already loved Trader Joe’s now I love them even more… thanks Trader Joe’s totally made my day !

I love coming to this place, similar to whole foods. The staff is very friendly and it’s just a great atmosphere. Although pricey, I definitely see myself coming back in the near future.

Owned by Aldi (yup, the ultra-​cheap grocer), but with a Whole Foods vibe. Prices are awesome. 19 cents per banana… good size, same price they’ve been for a year and a half. Quality and selection are incredible. And yet it has the ambience of a small town store.

I love me some Trader Joe’s! I’ve been hearing about it for years and my first time going was a couple weekends ago on a Saturday and it was an awesome experience!
They have cheap, great groceries, end of story. They have a great selection of produce at super low prices and they have amazing selections of hummus and cheese, to name two off the top of my head.
I will definitely be back at Trader Joe’s very soon!

Where has Trader Joe’s been all my life? i’ve never heard of it, nor would i ever trek the 30 minutes to get there… but it was well worth it. My hair dresser has been raving for years about Trader Joe’s. I always thought it was some hoity toity expensive health market. That is far from the truth. Trader Joes has their own line of inexpensive everyday food items. My husband and I bought a reasonable amount of groceries, and i was surprised at how inexpensive everything was, including the produce.
As an added incentive, if you bring your own bags to haul your groceries away in, you are entered into a drawing for a gift card!

There’s a few reasons I have a lot of respect for this place. Did you know that at any time you can ask for a sample of ANYTHING in the store? Yes anything. It is store policy. So if you aren’t sure about that box of crackers or wine or if its worth your dollar. any employee is obligated to at least let you try a taste before you buy it. AWESOME.
The store is also committed to giving food away, and not just with samples. Every Trader Joe’s store donates a portion of its products to food banks. In 2013, over $ 260,000,000 worth of food items were given to fight hunger. Not even Walmart can say they have done anything close to that.
The name itself is a guarantee. If a product in a TJ’s bears the store’s name, that means that it won’t contain any artificial flavors, preservatives, synthetic colors, GMOs, or artificial trans fats.
Besides the obvious fact this place is tiny and over crowded with customers sometimes, its still worth taking a trip to. Whole Foods can be a bit over priced. so I prefer to go here first when I am in the area. then pick up rest of my shopping at WF for the extra few things I could not find at Trader Joes.
Service is AWESOME. All the employees are nice and the atmosphere is fun and happy. Also they give you a free Trader Joes grocery reusable bag if its your first trip there. I love this place! Five Stars. :)

I like coming here. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Most of the Trader Joe brand items I have bought here have been good. I mainly eat a low sodium vegetarian diet these days and TJ’s has helped me out with that. They carry a decent selection of vegetarian and low sodium items and more.
They have samples set up in the back every day. I have found tasty items that I would have otherwise overlooked if not for the taste test. Another thing I like is the prices. They are fairly cheap for what they have.
I would recommend trying a few of their items out. I’m sure you will find something good. If not, they will take it back!

It’s 6÷15÷2015 as I write this review and in the last week or two Trader Joe’s has enabled Apple Pay and Google Wallet (Soon to be Android Pay) on their Verifone MX925’s in this store, so tap and pay away people! So I’ve been going to this Trader Joe’s more over the past year, and I’ve always had great experiences here. The employees are awesome, they are very helpful if you need help and they often open a register to get you through checkout. They have a good liquor section and there is so much that I haven’t even seen yet, but can’t wait to find and try out. I’d have to say my favorite snack so far that I’ve bought from here so far is the regular banana chips which are so good!
Trader Joe’s also has a very liberal return policy that I have never had to use, but its nice to know that its there if you need it. Not overpriced at all, good prices when compared to similar stores. I don’t know if there is just so much in a small space, but the layout seems to confuse me some, but maybe I just need to visit this store for a few hours to be able to look at everything. I still rate this Trader Joe’s 5 out of 5 stars anyday!

I love, love, love Trader Joe’s! I come specifically for the wonderful fresh produce, but I always walk out with many, many other things as well. Most recently, I purchased their chicken sausage, both the spinach fontina and the roasted garlic. Their hummus along with the black bean and quinoa infused tortilla chips is one of my favorite snacks. And their sushi is so fresh and flavorful. Just love going through the aisles and finding new and different items.

TRADER JOES! I’ve been waiting years to get my butt into one. And was it worth the hype? Well on first impression I think yes.
Insane variety of items that are uncommon in your typical grocery store. If you have excess time you could lose a couple hours in here to actually take in what is available.
Prices are decent. Free snacks are a bonus.
Two thumbs up.

Since Trader Joe’s is on the route home from my church, I frequently find myself there on Sunday afternoons (along with half of Omaha sometimes!). I’m not a fan of all their frozen meals but I consistently buy the single serving quiche and the Chicken Tikka Masala. While it doesn’t replace going to a real Indian restaurant it’s a nice change of pace for lunch at work. The breaded chicken tenderloins are also good after 2 minutes in the microwave for a quick lunch or dinner. Other things I buy regularly include the yogurt, tea, trail mix, Orangina, granola bars, frozen veggies, and cookies. Oh, and the tomato & roasted red pepper soup is FANTASTIC! They have a nice selection of meat, cheese, and wine. It’s just fun to shop there and come home with some unique products and even gifts.

Who doesn’t love Trader Joe’s? Yes items may be a bit pricier than your other store-​named brands of foods, but nothing I’ve ever gotten at TJ’s has ever disappointed me.
My boyfriend’s family has adored everything I brought to them (since HI doesn’t have a TJ’s). From the assortment of cookies, wines, and other snacks and goodies, everything has been addicting. My personal favorites are the ice cream mochi (green tea flavored!) and the chocolate chip dunks. Both are yummy! They have a great selection of produce, in which I have never had to question the freshness, and service is friendly and very helpful. In search of Speculos, a staff member spent 15 minute minutes with me searching for a box, and to our amazement, we found one in a hidden on a shelf. Now, that’s dedication, you don’t get service like that anywhere else really.
Only downfall, when this place gets busy, IT’S BUSY. Better be on your A-​game or people are gonna run you over — absolutely no remorse sometimes!

Born and raised in TJ’s hometown of Monrovia, CA – I may be prejudiced, but I waited (im)patiently for them to arrive at long last!
Great selection, good food, Three Buck Chuck, super selection of cheeses and (I swear) a killer sourdough boule that sure tastes like San Francisco’s Boudin. Organic meats and epic opportunities for food gifts items as well. A well-​trained and happy staff round out the experience, it’s like a visit to see friends, I swear.
It doesn’t get any better than Trader Joe’s.

When TJ’s came in 2009 or 2010 I was super excited. Now I could get decent wine that never inflates in price for 2.99 (read: two buck chuck). This was very exciting for a college student on a budget. I was also a huge fan of all the frozen selections of dinners, perfect for the college student who only owned a microwave-​but liked to eat indian curries, bi bim bop, chinese orange chicken meal and pesto mac and cheese.
Well that was some time ago and I am still a major patron of TJ’s. I love the genuine creativity of foods they carry from more «exotic» vegetables, fruits all packaged perfectly and in great fresh condition, fresh herbs, refrigerated grab and go meals include things like sushi and gourmet salads and sandwiches. The amount of snacks you can buy here is really ridiculous. Whether you need the ingredients for a nut trail mix or the fixings for a charcuterie board/​hummus platter/​chip dip/​fruit dip THEY’VE GOT IT. Consider your next party completely covered with one trip to TJ’s. Your guests will think you’re completely amazing but really you just popped mini tacos and spanikopita and some other crazy gourmet type frozen apps into the oven.
They have a lot of gluten free things, as well as «stuff you just dont find at the regular store» like a mint chocolate coffee topping grinder or pink himalayan salt grinder or a bottle of preserved saffron, PB&J filled chocolate bars… the list goes on. I can seriously spend hours browsing the aisles for snacks, cooking needs, and frozen meals. The food here is very «ethnic friendly» and they have a lot of frozen food as well as cooking items from a lot of different cultures. They are also always coming out with new stuff… and it will make you addicted.

This place is awesome, especially if you want to spend way more money than you intended. I recently went to get dark chocolate and walked out with dark chocolate, avocados, chocolate covered caramels, chicken fried rice, two kinds of craft beer, and cookie butter. They have awesome stuff that you can’t find anywhere else at really reasonable prices. I usually just come to get a few items (chocolate, snacks, alcohol), but will often end up buying a few additional items.

Great location!!! Always super busy! I try to never go on the weekend because you will never get a parking spot!
Great selection. This is a large Trader Joe’s location so there is a ton of product in this store!!!
Staff is super friendly as always and always knowledgable! They are more than willing to make a great recommendation!
Love this location! Great location, great selection, with awesome staff!!!

I know a few people who religiously shop here, but I really only come here for just a few items and see what they might have that I’ve never tried before. They always have nice food presents, like cookie and scones and treats… Yesterday a friend sent me here because she said there were Persian Cucumbers, which I had never heard of, and sure enough, here they were. The Parking lot can get crowded with restaurant parking, and to go west after shopping can be a trial, but it is still a Trader Joe’s!
