Trader Joe’s

Maybe it’s not the parking lot. Maybe it’s the crazy drivers who are too eager to go into their beloved Trader Joe’s. Who knows?! I would love if they opened up a store on my side of town. Staff is always so kind, helpful, friendly. Do you all know the kind, older gentleman who calls everyone beautiful and makes everyone’s day? Yep, he’s pretty great. Where else can I find frozen samosas and vegan muffins? I always try to go when they first open.

Trader Joes is my top go to stop for good quality organic food that it not over priced. They have everything I need most of the time. I love their chamomile and green teas and the desert selection, especially the New York Cheesecake!

Love this store! HATE the parking! Why does every trader joe’s have to find the worst possible location and insist on being in a space with HORRIBLE parking!

I LOVE Trader Joes! They have a wide selection of good quality foods at affordable prices. They have many varieties of cheeses, meats, frozen entrees, snacks, and desserts. Not to mention they have their own section of special wine and beers from around the world. This location has a lot of parking and staff are super friendly. Definitely my go to supermarket for cooking meals during the week.

Location:
Not sure why there are so many complaints about the parking lot. In my old neighborhood (Silver Lake), that lot was a complete nightmare, cluster fak as are some other T.J.‘s locations. Here I could find a spot anytime of day and have plenty of room. Yes, it might mean parking by the Boston Market or Orange Julious but for all of you wearing them Fitbit bands and such… add them steps yo!!!
Store: Again, comparing it to what I am accustomed to, I feel like this is wide open North Dakota prairie land here! Aisles accommodate more than an undersized shopping cart and a body side by side. They recently moved many sections of products around and I feel like the layout is even better now than it was prior.
Staff: The employees are always very helpful and friendly. Nice that many interact with the kids and give them stickers at checkout. I think that with so many products, more coming than going, they always seem to ask «Did you find all that you were looking for?»
All I need is a Traders on the east side of town and I’d be a happy camper; the absolute ideal location would be where the Target and Bevmo are (via princessa). Sadly, from what I hear, Target owns that entire shopping center and since they have a grocery section they would NEVER allow that. I get it and all but still some b.s.

I love Trader Joe’s and I do the majority of my grocery shopping here, however, I think that they need to move to a larger location or create a second one as it tends to be extremely crowded. I would also like to see more vegan friendly options. Other than that, the prices are good and the customer service is fantastic!

Love coming to trader joes to do our shopping. We love the ice cream sandwiches sublime and mushroom risotto and would highly recommend. We also tried their Maria Jola Sangria and loved it. I’m writing this not only because they have amazing products but because we got exceptional customer service from Chandra K. She signaled us to come over to her register to be rung up with a friendly smile and struck up a conversation immediately, recommending products we should also try that she had loved. She rung us up quickly and efficiently and we were out the door before we knew it. Love when the cashier is friendly. She was really nice and will look for her to ring us up the next time we are in. Thanks Chandra K!

This store is where I do all my milf shopping… I mean milk shopping… ;) Seriously, this is a great store and they have a great staff. The worst thing about this store is the parking lot. Ginger beer, a $ 15 dollar bottle of maple syrup, every flavor of tortilla chip known to man, what more can you ask for.

Just came through the checkout line. Dan Diaz was my clerk. He looked at one of my salad mixed and said it didn’t look fresh. He had somebody go and get me a fresh I always have good service at Trader Joe’s, but this guy is the best

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Granted the customer in front of me was a complete fucken idiot who had no understanding or appreciation of another person’s time. I’m sure the gentleman at the register was a nice guy. The donkey in front of me was upset about the transaction that she requested a manager to void the transaction. Might I add I’m on lunch. I was purchasing 2 items, and neither the cashier or the manager thought it would be fair to help the other customers and deal with the fool elsewhere. It’s unfair that that the other customers in line have to suffer because of idiots like this.

I love this Trader Joe’s. Always fully stocked and nice friendly cashiers. Once in a while you might get dumb «not talkative– out of zone» ones (at sample area or checkout) and one might mistake them for being rude. But I’m not going to dislike the store for the very minor few hiring mistakes. Overall wine selection is great, and organized and they have great selection of teas and other items I can’t find nearby. I also like the potted plants/​herbs and fresh cut flowers they have at the entrance to make you in a good mood when you enter.

I’ve been coming here to shop for over 15 years.
I’m a local that lives in the area. I’ve always been happy and blown away by there customer service until this morning. I’m the type that likes to get here early because we all know how trader joes can get when crowded.
Anyway upon getting here at 7:50 am because they open at 8am. I noticed the door was open ?
So I thought ?.. I guess they opened early?
I went in and I was yelled at in a rude way and I was told to leave !!
She said… There is a sign sir ! And it says Flowers only!
The sign was a joke… I took a picture of it to show other friends of mine and ask them… Could you see the part that says (Flowers Only)? Because it’s very tiny and I could not.
Was in super small print !
How rude !
You guys? Really? Your better than this.
Also I took this picture of it below so everyone could see she moved the sign from were it was then slammed the sign down in front of me when I was waiting at the door to get in !!
Blow it up and you can see it’s right in front of the door ! Even the customers with Superman vision that only wanted to buy flowers Could Not Get In the Door because it was blocked !!

I am a huge fan of Trader Joe’s and this location is set up identical to most of its other stores. The main reason why I go here is for the wide selection of cheeses from around the world, great fresh produce, reasonable prices on import beers, exclusive wine choices, one of a kind appetizers, and easy dinners that can be thrown right into the oven.
TIP: This store is super busy so try to go shopping at an off time so that you do not get annoyed with shoppers meandering about aimlessly in front of you when you have somewhere to be. I call these people the anti-​destination team.

I will make it simple, short and easy…
Every Trader Joe’s I have been too had great service, fresh organic vegetables, nice selection of pr-​made salads and pr-​made and packaged meals. The wine and beer selection is good enough for me. Their Charles Shaw wine selection, which is very cheap when it comes to price, is just great for every day sipping. The cheese selection is not great but not bad either. You will go NUTS with the nuts selection.
You can never go wrong at TJ’S…Shop with confidence. This is where the professionals go!

Just a great place to shop at very affordable prices. Eye catching and tempting items on every isle. Busy lot, yes, but its a large space. I like to park a good ways down to avoid the constant flow of cars and people.
Always something delicious and healthy to try here, Trader Joe’s signature products are outstanding and this space is just the right size. Vastly superior to the much smaller location they relocated from several years ago.

Have I never written a review of this Trader Joe’s…what is wrong with me? Okay well staff is always very friendly here and if you can’t find something ask one of them because they can. Traders always has the best selections of cheese to go with the wine I usually buy there.
This particular Traders is really close to where I live (stalkers see the above address) so it is easy for me to get to either coming from work or just in general.
The coffee is also a personal favorite of mine with the Joe’s Dark smelling and tasting like a cup of liquid love in the morning. People always complain about the parking, but honestly it is all the people who go to Traders that makes the parking lot so busy. Park further out and walk in, just put away your frakin’ shopping cart… come on people… who know who your are…

Certain things can only be bought at Joe’s. My wife drops in to pick up these specialties, including the green tea mints that we like to keep in the car.
We were a little disappointed that frozen chocolate banana chips were not available this time.

Trader Joe’s is awesome. This is pretty much similar to every other Trader Joe’s I’ve been to. Located in a large play right next to Petco. The parking lot is huge with lots of people and cars, but I have no had a problem finding parking whenever I am here.
The inside of the store is pretty big and clean. They always had the items I come looking for. I love their products! So many tasty treats like dark chocolate with toffee, walnuts and pecans. I like to share… but when it comes to this bar, get your own! Haha. Seriously though, I could go on and on about their yummy products.
The service is okay. The lines can get long sometimes, but oh well. Overall, my go-​to Trader Joe’s in the SCV. Very convenient, tasty, original/​unique products at moderate prices keep me coming back!

I like to trade with Joe… my cash for their food. It would really be easier if the parking wasn’t horrendous! I think the SCV needs another one of these great stores fast.
Hass avocados, orchids, ready made salads, trail mix, coffee, tortilla chips, real maple syrup, vitamins, 2 buck chuck (wine), frozen food — all of it is pretty good. You can find almost everything you need to keep your home stocked with common household goods and food items.
My most recent discovery: concentrated cold brewed coffee! There’s always something new and interesting at TJ’s. The stores are smaller than a supermarket so every aisle is carefully stocked with the best or most popular items so each square foot of shelf space is not wasted.
Pickup some chocolate bars at the checkout and when you hear the bell ring it means open another register. Two rings of the bell means customer needs help, three rings is for the manager and 4 bells is all hands on deck!

I love the products Trader Joe’s offers!
Though because I live walking distance from a Ralph’s market I do not do all of my shopping here, I do make the car trip a few miles away for their yogurt, cheap wines, pumpkin bread mix, and pretty much anything chocolate they sell.
I did use to live quite close to one though, so I’ve bought their produce, meats, and other grocery necessities here before too. All of it was tasty and fresh. I don’t really know why, but I always feel like the products at Trader Joe’s are a healthier option than those at regular supermarkets.
As I’m sure many reviewers have already mentioned, despite the large shopping center it’s located in, it is a parking nightmare on busy nights and weekends. It’s right next to Petco and whenever I went to buy dog food I would always silently curse the Trader Joe’s throngs of customers blocking all of the parking.
