Trader Joe’s

You know how I love premium private label stuff. Extra personable staff and all sorts of european goodies during the holidays. Strong hidden value in many items versus the competition. Super busy location with mandatory parking constraints.

I love to buy my grocery from trader joe than everywhere! I used to buy grocery from fresh market and whole food but the fresh market foods quality are going down!
Now I will go to trader joe when I need it. I love the wines, cookies, Italian bread etc…
Highly recommended to buy your grocery from trader joe!

It’s almost painful to give a Trader Joe’s a mere «A-​OK» rating. I’m a true blue fan of this particular grocery chain, to the point that I used to take a cooler, drive an hour to my nearest store, and load up a couple of times a month. Trader Joe’s has pretty much cornered the market on a wide variety of natural and organic foods that are also affordable (be careful, though, they sell plenty of stuff that’s definitely more ‘treat’ than not!) and I absolutely love the company.
My complaints are specific to this particular location. The parking lot is a mess, and getting in and out can be a downright dangerous proposition. The store itself is always neat and orderly, and the employees are friendly. I am a big fan of their tasting station, and it’s very effective — more often than not, I end up buying something just because I’ve tried it there.
The last few times I’ve gone, though, I’ve noticed a disturbing pattern. Well, disturbing to me, anyway. The baggers seem to be receiving RIDICULOUS training on how to bag groceries. To begin with, they stuff as much as they possibly can into one bag, making them so heavy you have to carry them from the bottom to avoid the handles ripping off and the bag hitting the ground. I realized this the hard way a couple of weeks ago.

This place is incredible. So many awesome items like coconut oil, Greek yogurt, organic corn chips, vine ripe tomatoes, salsas, shampoo, wines, and many more great items. They accept manufacturer coupons and will open any item in their store and let you try it. This is one of the best places to shop for healthy and delicious items.

Trader Joe’s is super freakin awesome! I NEED ONE IN TOWNE LAKE! Sorry for the rant…
Everytime I make the trip down good ol 92 I make sure to stop in! First of all the produce as well as prices on produce is amazing! The have organic as well as non organic items to choose from.
My next trip is down the frozen section. I always pick up edamame, frozen dumplings and these super awesome things I found called Edamame Tofu Bites. Oh LORD try these!!!
After stopping by the tasting area for whatever they are giving out (because it’s always fantastic and I’m always hungry) I peruse the cheeses.
THEN — what I have been waiting for — THE WINE SECTION! Guys, if you have never bought wine from TJ you really must! Now, I’m not talking about the Two Buck Chuck, I’m talking about all of the other great selections that they have to offer. This go round I left with two bottles of a red blend.
If you have yet to shop here, you really must make the trip!

I’ve been going to this Trader Joe’s since the day they opened. It’s clean, items easy to find, food reasonably priced, and the employees are top notch. We moved and I briefly had to switch grocery stores, but I quickly realized it was worth it for me to make the extra trek to this location. Once you shop here you get to know the employees and it actually makes grocery shopping fun. I also love that this Trader Joe’s still has many of their original employees. Mark (manager), Marissa and Andrew are some of my favorites. Excellent employees for an excellent store. I highly recommend shopping here and I look forward to many many more years of doing business with these guys.

This place is cooler than the other side of the pillow, (wink wink)! The best organic bacon, natural sausage etc. I love the vinegars and oils and the frozen organic beef patties that they carry. There is something for everyone. I just love to browse and try new items. The prices are great and the staff is always available to help.
If I could change one thing: multiple stalls in the ladies room. I usually come here after church and I always have to wait several minutes for the ladies room.

This place was pretty busy when we strolled in for a few items today. There were customers and employees everywhere. I guess that’s the busy Sunday errands day vibe?
The employees that interacted with us were cordial and friendly. The store looked neat and orderly. One thing I found interesting was that you can mix and match the beer. Or at least that’s what the sign said. lol. Oh. And by the way, this location usually runs out of Coconut Water super quick since I heard it was cheap here. I don’t drink this stuff, but I heard it was cheaper here than elsewhere. The down side is that they’re usually out of stock.
Parking was pretty plentiful since this was in a super huge complex. Trader Joe’s was more towards the right side of the complex near PetSmart.

I love Trader Joe’s. Every time I come here, I end up leaving with something new and delicious that I’ve never tried before. The cookie butter is amazing. They have organic food, but nowhere near as a expensive as whole foods. The associates here are so helpful and friendly. We were debating in line if we wanted to get this kringle holiday dessert thing our friend was getting but we didn’t want to go back and get one. So the guy at the register rang the bell thing and had someone bring us up one. And, we were so glad we got it. It was amazing and way cheaper at trader joe’s than if you ordered elsewhere. I want to get another to bring to Christmas. My mom lives in Woodstock and is hoping they will bring a Trader Joe’s there, because this is the closest location to her and over a half hour away. They also have a good, cheap, wine selection.

I love this Trader Joe’s location. The store is always clean, the aisles are clear and items are easy to find. But the associates are the best! I’ve always had the best experiences with them being friendly and willing to help find what I need. Today was no exception!

Who doesn’t like this store?! They have the kind of groceries I need that I can’t get from a regular grocery store and their prices are reasonable. Also, it’s so much closer to me than Whole Foods and usually a lot less expensive.

What a great store. I’m all for companies that promote environmental responsibility and feature delicious food. I love some of the desserts in here such as the kona chocolate, the sea salted chocolate covered almonds, and the coffee toffee. They have some great breads and muffins that are loaded with fiber and flavors. The produce is usually fairly priced. I often buy coffee here and they have samples in the back corner. I use their paraben free sunscreen and tea tree shampoo faithfully. Bring your own bags. A definite shopping experience. The parking lot can get super busy.

Visit Trader Joes!
They have food items you will not find elsewhere.
Good, creative, tasty and inexpensive food items you will not find elsewhere.
Vegan? Go for it. Meat eater? Go for it. Wine drinker? Don’t buy that NASTY 2 buck chuck! So what if you got a case of wine for like $ 30 — it’s CRAP! They have other more expensive and more than likely tasty wine.
I highly recommend shopping here! You’ll truly love the experience.

I love TJ’s easy to shop — lots of interesting items — great prices and no GMO’s :-)

Impossible to find things in this store. I was trying to find something in their flyer. You’d think that would be easy to do, nope!

If you’ve got your dooshbag thing happening, this is the place for you. Over-​priced goods that you could buy at Publix, unusual shit that you could make yourself – if you weren’t a lazy jackass, and bullshit «organic» crap that is inferior in nutrition, cost, and taste. Yep, Trader Joe’s has it all. Do you pretentious ‘tards even know the basics of chemistry or gastronomy? I doubt it, because you populate this haven of ridiculous goods night and day. Too, the parking lot is a nightmare, with stupid angles and self-​absorbed microencephalics parking like drunken, blind circus clowns. One star, simply because you could survive, barely, by eating the trash that they hawk here.

This location is always cram packed with people and the set up makes it a bit difficult to navigate around the people in line to check out and those of us getting the essentials like cheap beer and wine.
There are several things that I love from here that I get all the time like the caramel sauce. Theres great selection of cheeses, meats and breads. These little chocolate cinnamon buns are great. Yes, I know I go for the healthy options here.
I would stay away from the tamales though! I didn’t and regret the two minutes the corn mush was mushing its way through my mouth. I would rather eat the husks…

Trader Joe’s is my official go-​to for last minute gifts.
I select one of the adorable reusable grocery bags they have displayed on the wall and fill it with some things sweet, some things savory, and top it off with a bottle of wine or a six pack of brew. You can customize it to your recipient’s preferences and, voila, you have the perfect gift that is sure to please for a great price!
This TJ’s is in a great location. There is always parking available, the flower selection is phenom, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to choosing wines and cheeses.

I have a hard time rating this location any higher because of how small it is, limited product selection, and proximity to other stores that can deliver.
I used to love Trader Joe’s because it offered more whole foods, organics, and environmentally friendly options than other stores. In fact, you really couldn’t find it anywhere else. But with the pervasiveness of Whole Foods, Publix and Kroger embracing the organic and sustainable movements, and highly prepared nature of products at this particular Trader Joes, it’s not worth my patronage.
Part of my frustration comes from not being able to shop completely here. Their produce and fresh meat selections are extremely small. Remaining products are either frozen or pre-​packaged… not exactly what I am after.
It was a godsend when it opened, now an inconvenience and frustration for its small selection and limited availability.

This is a pretty solid Trader Joes. One of the things I’ve noticed about TJs is the incredible amount of unique items that they pack into small stores. However, in the smaller stores such as this one you won’t always find all of the items that you could in a larger location, and popular items like orange chicken will sometimes sell out.
Having said that, the customer service here is everything you have come to know and love about Trader Joes. The employees will jump to help you or make recommendations, and they know their products.
Everyone seems to have their favorite specialty items from TJs. Some items are a great value, while others lag behind a little bit. Some of the best prices compared to other stores are the wine, coffee, some produce, and especially flowers, but you can very easily be burned on meat or snack foods.
All in all, this is a great store and a great location. They also have plenty of parking which can be tricky in some locations. Definitely worth a stop.
