Trader Joe’s

Service and employees are the best here, convenient, many organic items. Absolutely recommend this location. You can buy almost all your groceries here & save time. I like their 100% satisfaction in case produce is spoiled or you dont like a product which is rare, but it’s good to be able to return if you need a replacement. Great place.

I love this store. Always nice and welcoming. I love the stuff they have. Great prices and I love the healthy foods. Nothing negative about it

This location is tucked on the second level of the Terraces. I usually only come to this location right before I watch movies at the Terrace Cinema just because it’s a bit far from my house.
As always, Trader Joe’s is fully stocked. You always see their employees restocking and facing their products. It’s always organized, never messy unlike the other grocery stores. Some may think Trader Joe’s is expensive, but honestly there are many good finds that are inexpensive and healthy. I guess if you’re like me, you can easily spend a good amount of money because everything is «cheap» ranging from $ 2.99-$ 6.00 and it makes you want to buy the whole store, but when you add ithem all together, that’s when you’re like, aw crap. What have I done?!? haha. (maybe those are just my thoughts).
But here’s a list of my go-to’s:
— Red Pepper stuffed turkey with rice
— Pistachio cookies
— Lemon Chicken & Arugula Salad (with couscous)
— Omega Trek Mix
— Garlic Pita Chips
— Mexicali Salad
— Trader Joe’s Coconut Water (small bottle)
— Trader Joe’s Vegan Cookies (SO good)
— Dark chocolate covered pretzels (I swear they do not taste like Dark Chocolate!)
— Pesto chicken pizza (in the frozen section)
— Sea Dog Blueberry beer
They also have a very cheap alcohol section. I haven’t tried their wines yet, but their helpful staff members are always there to give the best recommendations.

Everyone loves Trader Joes but this location has something special. The staff and especially Dottie! I love her! Want a good recommendation on a wine? Ask a friendly and very helpful staff member.

I do most of my grocery shopping here. The employees are very nice and it is well run. I love the variety of items to choose from since I am a big foody!

The customer service here is the tops! This is my favorite grocery store. It’s convenient, well-​organized, and well stocked. Thanks for the friendly smiles and helpful attitudes.

Pretty good trader joes. Doesn’t usually get too packed which is nice. On the flip side, it’s a pretty tiny store and can be hard to navigate even with their little shopping carts. They usuallyhave treats being handed out in the back. I’ve discovered some great little options since I usually make sure to stop back there for my daily dose of TJ’s goodness.
Another thing to be aware of is the parking lot can be a bit to manage as well. Besides that, pretty consistent food with a fairly nice produce selection. It does seem they’ve raised their prices along the way. Long gone are the good olé days of two buck chuck. I guess change is the only thing that’s consistent. Still love Trader Joes.

Good. It’s less horrible than any other grocery store in town. Less thick-​necked doofuses with backwards baseball caps standing around amiably grunting at each other while blocking the aisles with their 48-​packs of Budweiser, for starters.
I love trader joe’s. But this location — being ‘Pedro — seems to have a few less items than the larger stores, like the one on Hawthorne in Torrance or the one on Bellflower in Long Beach. I usually shop at this one, and I’m perfectly happy, but when I go to one of those other stores I realize that there are some products that our store doesn’t carry.
I still love coming here compared to any other grocery store in town. Even though there are usually lots of customers, the lines move fast, even on the weekends.

I love Trader Joe’s! I don’t usually like to start with the negative but there is a lot to be desired in the produce department. A larger selection of fruits and organic products in general would be great. On to the positive! I love their prices and the unique sauces, premade meals, and frozen items. They are also the only place in the area that I can find nitrate free bacon at! I come back weekly! The employees there are always friendly, make conversation at check out and are knowledgeable about the products.

Many positive things about this Trader Joe’s, but one thing in particular I would like to compliment them on is their superior customer service. On our last visit, we asked an employee about something we couldn’t find. The man went to the stockroom to check if the item came in yet, then checked the store computer to tell us the status of the item. A few minutes later we asked a different worker about another product. He did the same thing. They both knew the store’s product line, and were eager to help.
After taking our groceries home, we went out to another close-​by food store. I asked a worker about an item I couldn’t find, and all I got was a dazed look. So, anyway, thanks Trader Joe’s. You know how to run a business.

Great Trader Joe’s in Rancho Palos Verdes us near the border of San Pedro. This trader Joe’s has one of the best services. This staff is extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about the products. The parking to this location is a little difficult but it’s well worth visit. They have a big variety of organic and non-​organic produce and meats. Also they have a big selection of beer and wine with experts to recommend a great beer or wine for your next party to go with the food you’re making a perfect pairing. I always enjoy going to this location.

My favorite place to go esp for a busy person like me!!! Nice and friendly staff …
Luv the sample counter, beware you might want to buy whatever they’re sampling if u stop by!!! Always getting great produce, food, and sweets!!! luv the choco Bön bons
Chicken mushroom, artichokes and organic corn

What I like about TJ’s is that the markets are small, the produce are pretty fresh, the breads have good variety, they have unique food items and there’s usually always someone sampling something.
You would think that a place like this with good produce and different food items would be expensive. The pricing is actually pretty affordable!
This particular Trader Joes has been in Pedro for a while. I like stopping by here to get some of my necessities. The customer service is usually pretty good. I really have no complaints!

I luv trader joes. I came here for some spa products and was very happy with my purchase. The people who work here are nice and it’s a plus they don’t charge for bags.

In comparison to other TJ’s this one is on the smaller side but I love that. There is something really cozy about his store. Everything is always very neat and orderly.
The pre-​made salads that they have are always great! The classic Pasadena salad is my favorite. Definitely a must try at Trader Joe’s.
Also, for the wine lovers out there, definitely try their Coastal Cabernet Sauvignon, 2012. It’s only about $ 4 and a great red wine!
Staff is extremely welcoming and friendly, a rarity these days. Lines move really quickly, as the store is really efficient. The parking lot is spacious. My only wish would be that the store were open later.

Definitely one of the best Trader Joe’s in the South Bay. This location is clean, organized, spacious and never crowded to the point of insanity. The staff is extremely helpful and will assist you with purchases and recipe ideas.
Trader Joe’s in general is a must when throwing a party, day to day shopping and finding new and exciting items to try. The cheeses are always fantastic and the prices are unbeatable. The same cheese is sold for 20% more at Whole Foods or even Ralphs.

This is by far my favorite grocery store to visit. I’ve been to many at Trader Joe’s, but this is One is the best!
Though this is one of the smallest grocery stores in my neighborhood, I usually find just about everything I am looking for. If I am looking to entertain guests or taking food, hors d’oeuvres and beverages to a friends house, I stop here first.
Like my other reviews, what earns a business five star rating is not only the quality of the goods or services rendered but their customer service. This Trader Joe’s has customer service in spades!
Through the years I’ve befriended some of the staff there and have used them for recommendations for meals at home!

Best hidden secret! Not too many shop here and probably go to Rolling Hills Plaza, where parking suck.
There’s plenty of parking, and the aisles are spacious. The products are constantly stocked and well maintained.
It’s probably one of the nicest TJs I’ve been.

Who doesn’t love Trader Joe’s, right? Where the staff members are always smiling, like they really enjoy their job. Always clean and organized. I love this location because parking is so easy and it’s less crowded!
They have fresh produce, 2 buck chuck wine, tons of cheese to select from, and yummy snacks and frozen foods. They have a monthly newsletter called fearless flyer that announces new products they carry to try out. I love their cookie butter, Gruyère and cheddar cheese combo, prosciutto, clementines, arugula, salt and pepper ridge cut chips, mini crispy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and frozen Beans So Green veggies.
They are super cool here! I needed a few boxes for my move so I called in the night before to pick them up in the morning. =)

This is a good Trader Joe’s. Like the other ones, the staff is always nice, friendly, and helpful. This shop has the usual Trader Joe’s food, wine, coffee, and the etc., that you have come to expect.
RECOMMENDED !!!
