Trader Joe’s

I love trader Joes, they have a great selection of affordable specialty food you really can’t find in most places. I also like that they re name all of their international food, like trader mings (Chinese) or trader Jose (Mexican). They have good quality food at great prices, from raw meats to prepared foods, and a great frozen foods section. Just beware this place can be packed during peak shopping hours

I like coming here but unlike Whole Foods their selection is very limited but (the place is 4 times smaller) their prices are a bit more reasonable. You do find one of a kind items here and there; still worth the trip.

The location of this T.J. sucks especially on weekends. Sundays are horrible. There is barely any parking in the lot and when you get inside it is overcrowded. The staff is great, helpful and friendly.

I’m a huge advocate of Trader Joe’s. I shop at this particular location about once a week. The employees are always friendly and willing to help. The samples in the back always give me great ideas for meal/​snack options.
Some of my favorite trader joe’s items:
1. Greek Yogurt w/​honey
2. Burrata … and just their cheese selection in general!
3. All meatless options. I’m not a vegetarian but sometimes I like to cut back on my meat consumption and they make some really great alternatives that include the meatless meatballs, chickenless chicken tenders, and the canned chili.
4. Their new recent addition of soup dumplings. Great right out of the microwave.
5. Flower selection! I buy my peonies here every year when they are in season.
6. Seasoned popcorn
7. Organic ketchup — I stopped buying Heinz all together after trying the TJ Organic Ketchup.
8. Frozen fruit — my new recent obsession is their flash frozen apricots.
There are many more items but these are my favorites. You really can’t go wrong when it comes to price and selection at Trader Joe’s.

Fun to shop grocery there
Stop there for chocolates, water, cookies, fresh fruits
And some chips
The store is clean, worker good and so helpful
Lots of organics stuff and always fresh (fruits and vegies)

Trader Joe’s has everything you need at great prices, checkout is quick and easy (as long as you don’t go on a Sunday). I drive 20 minutes out of my way to shop here.

What a sweet and small grocery store! I came here two days ago with a friend because we wanted to stop somewhere to get a few things and low and behold, I feel like I’ve been introduced to greatness!
First of all, I absolutely love the fact that the store is so small, so you can easily get whatever the hell you want and walk right out. Second, they bag your groceries for you! Honestly, I get horrible anxiety whenever I have to bag my own groceries because somehow, those bags dislike me very much and end up making me look crazy. Third, I must go back because they have pre-​cooked meals! YES! Okay, so I know it’s not healthy at all but what the heck, cut me some slack, I’m a broke college student! And I need to go back to get that curried chicken dip thingy that my friend bought. I couldn’t believe my tastebuds!
It’s worth the travel!

If you crossed Trader Joe’s with Whole Foods, Shoprite, Stop & Shop and Fairway — perhaps you’d have a Wegman’s.
I wish we had a Wegman’s nearby, but (*sigh*) we don’t. That leaves me to itinerant and sometimes frenetic shopping at all the other local stores — sourcing the eclectic and pedestrian edibles we like that no single food store in the region has under one roof.
Trader Joe’s is a novelty market for the gluten free set. It’s big on its own branding — which usually means good prices if occasionally bizarre combinations. When my sweetie tries to get me to eat non-​gmo, kelp infused soybean and quinoa, gluten free organic pasta seasoned with turmeric and matcha — I go for rice — thank you very much.
This location is tiny compared to many of its sibs, and with TJ, size matters to me. Barely enough elbow room in the aisles on a good day, and the customers pinball around the aisles like stoners most every day.
I can’t say I’m fond of the overly ebullient hippie/​hipster-​like staff either: they annoy the bejeezus out of me (my cynical NY values I guess). Plus, this location is not well stocked, the produce (except for bananas) ‘aint great, the live orchids never last, and it attracts some funky looking and sounding customers.
Sweetie likes this TJ because they have specialty items we use regularly that are three times the price elsewhere (e.g. dried fruits and nuts, almond meal, Turkish honey, french macarons, frozen croissant dough from France, interesting condiments, etc.) These bargains make the foray worthwhile.
In the end, I love my sweetie and her choices too, so I keep coming …

I’ve been to many Trader Joe’s locations, including most in the New York area and even a few in California. This one holds up well among them.
This place is generally well stocked, depending on which day you come. Come earlier in the day and you should be able to find anything you’re looking for. On some busier weekends, they could be sold out of certain produce items and even some meats.
Being a Trader Joe’s, there’s a great selection of high quality food, including many with organic options.
Keep in mind, being that this is in New Jersey, don’t expect any alcohol to be sold here.

Every time we come to this TJ is always packed, lines are super longanisa the parking is full! The staff are all friendly and helpful. They need another TJ closer to my neighborhood. Love their Macaroons, Gorgonzola Chips, Plantain Chips and so on. Like how they named the cash register aisles with the neighborhood street names.

This is the closest Trader Joe’s within a 15 minute drive of my house, but hopefully not for long! Is is rumored that another store is coming to Glen Rock at the site of the existing Bottle King on Prospect Ave, once they move across the street (
). Fingers crossed!
Anyway, I only buy a handful of specialty items here when I pop in once or twice a month. I make sure not to come in during the weekend when its super packed and hard to really maneuver through the aisle or browse. The employees are always helpful when you can find one that isn’t busy.
My only qualm, is whenever I see things advertised on Instagram and I go to look for it in the store, it isn’t always there. I’m not sure if it just sold out whenever I get there or if it’s not available because this store seems a little bit smaller. Who knows, but I get a little disappointed. Other than that, I enjoy coming here and leaving with a pretty affordable bag of goodies that makes me feel good about myself.

I’ve been a fan of TJ’s since they made their appearance in Bergen Country several years ago. No, it’s not a mega-​supermarket, but it has good products & prices.
Favorites —
— TJ’s Pound Plus dark chocolate bar — 72% cocoa Belgian
— TJ’s tamales (refrig section, not frozen) better than most restaurant tamales
— Organic yellow corn tortilla chips
— canned tuna — better than the big name brands
— TJ’s coffees — all very good
— cereals — better than big brand equivalents
— breads — all sorts — all good, esp dense multigrain boules — that’s bread.

Best Trader Joes around!
Easy parking and super friendly staff. Always an enjoyable grocery store experience. The Paramus Store is packed with our fresh favorites and great prices!

I love Trader Joe’s, it is my go to grocery store. The produce is fresh and all the other products are the healthier alternative compared to chain super markets. The Paramus location is my favorite due to the larger variety of items. It is a bigger store so they can carry more, while I have a local TJ’s in my town and I think coming to this larger one is worth the 20 minute drive… because boom you’re done in one stop shopping!

All the staffs are so pleasant as always, which is pretty much the Trader Joe’s thing.
Not much stuffs, wider aisle, not as much selections but I always find what I need for the most part. Plenty of parking as well. If route 3 is not as busy after work hours, I would’ve came more often

My first time in the store and I got all the help I needed from the staff. The location was crowded but the staff were on their toes to fill in the empty stock.
The coconut water i got from TJs was very refreshing.

This is a pretty good Trader Joes location. I came here a lot in the summer, usually after work or sometimes at lunch time. It was always busy but never super crowded, maybe because of the times that I was there. The employees are helpful although it can be a little tough to find one at times. They usually have what I’m looking for, but I never really came here to buy a whole lot of specific items so it’s hard to tell if it was just luck or if they are actually well stocked. It seems smaller than a lot of other TJs I’ve gone to; not sure if it’s because of the shape of the store or if it actually is.
Some tips– if you are traveling on 17 south, you don’t have to make a u-​turn to come here. Just exit on midland avenue and enter from the back (then onto the road across the street from the post office). Also, the parking lot looks busy but it’s usually easy to find convenient parking.

Great location rite by my house I pop in here for a few things every now and then. This location is very clean but seems to always be super busy. They have a really great selection of fresh flowers that I love buying because they last so long and are a great price. The produce section is always packed with fresh veggies and fruits. I really enjoy some of their frozen delights especially their vanilla and chocolate macarons! They have really good spinach and artichoke dip and I also really like their potato pancakes. Yesterday I tried out their iced cream bon bons with a cookie crumb bottom! IM HOOKED!

This was the second TJs I ever visited. The first was in CA years before. When they came to the NJ area my friends were thrilled. I actually went with one of them the first time because I had a car and they needed a ride there. I thought it was fine.
But then I came back a number of times on my way upstate. Have to say, its not a huge place, so you can pick up a few things and get out somewhat quickly. But its Rt 17N, so always busy. And the parking lot simply is not big enough for the traffic. Passing by recently I appreciated the new TJs in Buffalo more. Its just better somehow.
Pretty long lines at times. Be prepared to wait. Parking is ok, but its a busy place.

Love this place! Shop here a lot.
Staff is always nice. Prices are good. Fresh and seasonal produce. Seasonal product — no cheese fondue mix in warmer months *sad face.
Would find interesting stuff from time to time. especially in the frozen-​dessert section AKA my weak spot :)
