Trader Joe’s

This specific review is for Natalie L. And Ariel. I go in every couple of weeks and Ariel has helped me a few times. Today was particularly difficult because I went shopping with a 3 and 5 year old around 2pm, big mistake! They were being especially difficult when I was at the check out, but Natalie was so patient as I tried to get myself together and Ariel was too, as usual. They didn’t make me more uncomfortable than I already was at my kid’s rambunctious behavior. And Ariel saw that I was struggling and helped us out without even having to ask! Thank you to both of you.
Other reasons we enjoy TJs are the great selection of organic produce. They have the most reasonable prices on all produce, especially organic. If you have a chance to try it, they have fettuccine Alfredo in the frozen section that is really good! Be prepared because 1) it’s not a health food by any means 2) it’s rich and creamy and better than some restaurants 3) $ 3.99! We buy it as a quick dinner on nights we don’t feel like cooking. I love the size of the store too, they have just what you need and some special seasonal items along the way. I also love the values TJs stands for. You can look all of that up on their website. I only wish we had a store in Lodi, but for now I will continue to drive the extra 15 minutes:)

As always, I love trader joes. Staff is always helpful and friendly. The good is well priced and good quality. Can’t beat it.

I love Trader Joes, they have a great selection of foods, ingredients and beverages and the staff is always amazing. It’s great having a grocery store like this in the area.
I love that they always have fresh, beautiful flowers up front and you can find seasonal items highlighted around the store. They also have samples in the back right and little coffee samples as well.
Some of my favorites to get here are the dumplings and wontons in the frozen section, the eggs are always great and at a great price. Their dried fruit and nut section is fantastic and you’ll always find something new to try.
If you can’t find something ask the staff, they are always friendly and go over and above to make sure you get what you need and have a good experience. I always leave feeling great about my purchases, the experience and the price I paid for all my items.

I used to shop here much more frequently for my groceries, but now I usually come to grab a quick salad for lunch (the selection is ridiculous — so many choices!!) because it’s healthy & inexpensive. The staff is always friendly here, and if you ask me, they MAKE Trader Joe’s what it is. Customer service is key here. I think people shop there because they assume, oh it’s Trader Joe’s, must inherently be healthy. Not necessarily; really they carry quite a few unique items you can’t find elsewhere, great for supplementing your other grocery shopping, with reasonable prices. You can’t find everything here, but it is a nice convenient place to shop. Rotating free samples, complimentary coffee, and a nice wine & craft beer selection are cool perks, too.

Thank goodness we have a Trader Joes! Moved here and needed a unconventional grocer store. I have been a big fan of Trader Joes for years. I am able to do 80% of my shopping here. Prices are always fair. They really stock a lot of great stuff into a little store (great alcohol selection, too!)

This is the only Trader Joe’s in Stockton, so you are sort of stuck with this one no matter what. Fortunately, their location off Pacific near the Lincoln Center is a great one to be stuck with. This location is big with good parking and all the goodies that Trader Joe’s is famous for. They are located in the Safeway shopping center near the back of the complex.
Being the only store in town, the crowd is a combination of all the people that make up Stockton. Even though I do not live there, I often stop here while in town for snacks or just to see if they have something we do not in Sacramento. Trader Joe’s is always a nice compliment to the grocery experience, adding something special or unexpected to your daily meal.

For my grocery needs, I mostly come to this Trader Joe’s. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, it’s no wonder I always come back! I probably come here once, sometimes twice a week. They always have fresh food and keep the store very clean. And for what you pay, you get better food than you would elsewhere. They also have a pretty good beer selection! Can’t go wrong with that.

After a 10 year mark of not living in a city Trader Joe’s I am finally back in a Trader Joe’s town! Yahoo!!! I stopped by on a Saturday morning and it was awesome. All of the favorites and some new treats that I can’t wait to try. The workers here are wonderful! Beyond wonderful… Everyone was super helpful and asked if I needed help or wanted to try anything. Love that they will open any item for you to try! A gentleman set some flowers down with my cashier while he was shopping and the person bagging picked them up as to put in my bag and I told him they weren’t mine and we were talking about how beautiful they were. I told him they always remind me of my mom because they were her favorites… I walked out to the car and he came running up with some for me saying it seemed like a special memory and he wanted me to have some to take home. :) above and beyond! You have a customer for life! Just moved back to California. My mom and I loved going to Trader Joe’s and it was like having her there with me again. Thank you!

Love Trader Joe’s! I always make sure to pick up a few salads & wraps from here when I need groceries. My favorite is the eggplant wrap. I’m not a huge fan of eggplant, but this is YUM! The huge bag of cheese puffs for $ 1.99 is so addicting! They have a really good selection of wines & IPAs, especially local items. I love when they offer samples of new items; it’s usually how I end up finding more items I like here. Their macarons are pretty cheap, but pretty good! && don’t even get me started on the Speculoos cookie butter items! Drool… But anyway, the store is always clean, & the staff is very friendly. Always a good go-​to to pick up yummy stuff, especially when I know I won’t have a lot of time to cook for the week.

They have a great selection of different kinds of food here. They have a really great cheese and deli meat section. I enjoy getting my produce here as it’s usually in good condition and they have organic options. The craft beer selection is great and they’ll sell single bottles if you don’t want to commit to an entire six-​pack.

Love this store! Would shop here all the time except I live in French Camp and hate to drive on I-​5 to get there… love the customer service and all the delicious goodies!

Trader Joe’s on Pacific Ave in Stockton, California

I really don’t know how to describe this place maybe a specialty/​health grocery store. Okay first things first, TJ’s sells this bomb beer here for dirt cheap. Simpler times lager for $ 3.49 a six pack. It gets you twisted.
I’ll say this whatever happy pill these fools are on. They need to sell that shit on the streets. Every time I roll up, it’s all unicorns and gold at the end of the Rainbow. You definitely can feel the love up in here.
I’ll come here once in a while, it’s all little too pricey for me to shop all the time.
So when I tell myself, I’m strict on my diet and it’s healthy food from here on out. I’ll be back like Arnold. Then I look at the beer and say F it let’s party.
Sincerely VD.

I love finding interesting and healthy items in this store. Yum!

Alright, I feel like all you need is one good experience to make you keep coming back or one bad experience to make you go ham and give a business one star on Unilocal.In this case, I just HAD to give trader joes 5 stars because Claudia was not only helpful, but she was extremely friendly and educated on vitamins and healthy living. It’s not often that you see an employee stop what they’re doing and walk you over to another aisle and tell you what’s good for your health. Seriously, she’s the best at what she does! She helped us, educated us, recommended some items, and even sold us on some stuff. We were definitely not there for peanuts but thanks to Claudia, we sure left with some ! Give this girl a raise, promotion, AND perhaps a spot in corporate? That sounds fair :)

All I have to say is, «C’MON LODI! WE NEED A TRADER JOES!»
Okay, I will say more.
Every time I go to this location the staff is really nice and helpful. The fruits and veggies are high quality, the snacks are healthy, and the check-​out workers are mostly always friendly and fast.
Today, I ended up in Jeremy’s check-​out line. He told me the curry chicken I got was good. Let’s see. haha.
Thanks for a great shopping experience. Safeway and Raley’s need to step it up…

The short: A properly run Trader Joe’s location with all the goodies you expect.
The long: Yeah you won’t find everything you need in one stop when it comes to Trader Joe’s but wheat you do get is quality and reasonably priced. This particular location always has the correct amount of staff working to care of it’s customers. You rarely have to go searching for anything and if you have to ask any staff where anything is they walk you right to it. The store feels big and open even when it is super busy. I’ve rarely had any issues when shopping here, but the one thing I wish they were a little more diligent about was the rotation of product. There have been a few times when I have gotten home and within a day or two noticed a product has gone bad because it was packaged too long ago and should have been pulled from the shelf.
What works: All the great things you come to expect from Trader Joe’s
What to improve: Product rotation could use some work.

This is one of Stockton’s Diamond stores. If more business could follow the guidelines which has been set forth by Trader Joe’s, maybe then will the customer service begin to improve.
Anytime I am in a Trader Joe’s the employees are warm and welcoming. They always ask the customers if any assistance is needed.
I went recently looking for the fall cinnamon brooms to hang for the fall season, and I only saw the small ones, which i did purchase a few. The bag person, said they had a couple large ones in the back if I was interested. I said yes and she went to get them for me and I bough them both. The last two. Whew!!! my fall decorations are incomplete with out the cinnamon broom scent filling the house.
Thanks to all the employees.

Very clean prices are moderate the customer service was amazing our checker was Karen and our bagger was named Jon.
Both were polite friendly

I will keep this brief, since there isn’t a thing I could say about Trader Joe’s that hasn’t been said already. The selection is fantastic and their prices are always reasonable. Here, I will mention something that may be news to some, and could motivate them to stop by for a quick, or not so quick, shopping trip: They sell cilantro and jalapeño hummus.
You read that right.
Something else that I feel should be mentioned is that I find it shocking that reviewers offer so much praise for TJ’s customer service. Quite honestly, I find it terrible. Occasionally, you may run into someone who doesn’t act like you’re inconveniencing them by asking a question, but that is rare. Rare, indeed.

This place is great — clean, friendly people, and very organized.
I come here to buy flowers, and they have great selections every time (and at decent prices, too!). They also have a wide variety of yummy snack foods that are healthier than the potato chips I used to buy at Safeway.
Oh, and being a macaron fan, I was so happy to discover that they sell them packaged here, too! It comes in a box of 12: 6 chocolate and 6 vanilla. They tasted great, but I’ve opened boxes where they were frozen for so long that even the cream inside was hard like rocks :(
Other than that, I like shopping here :)
