Trader Joe’s

Old location. Bagged my own stuff. Not Friendly cashier. If he was at my location on 72^nd & Broadway, a shirt would have said something.

Small store but packed with food, free samples in the back, and some decent amount of prepared cold food too. Fresh vegetables nuts cereal bread vitamins. Everyone who works here is in a Perpetual great mood, everyone can help you no matter who is on the floor stocking shelves or working the register. Cool thing too, but if you try a product and don’t like it you can return the unused amount and the give you your money back or you can buy something else. You can’t beat that! I plus it’s located right next to a liquor store, kill two birds with one stone.

Love this place. I only buy my food here no more shop rite. They friendly have fresh and affordable organic food. Thanks for the great selections. Love love…

Random Fact: Did you know that the building TJ’s is in used to be an A&P? By looking at the structural appearance of the building, you can tell that it was.
Moving on, since I had some spare time to kill before heading to the place where I needed to be at on a weeknight, I stopped here. The size of this store pretty much occupied half of the building. The size is almost the same as the one in Millburn, if not smaller. As with any Trader Joe’s, they carried your typical groceries (snacks, cereal, cookies, frozen items, gourmet sodas, nuts, raisins, chocolate, etc.). The only exception, however, is that they didn’t sell any liquor.
I stopped in here to buy some roasted & unsalted sunflower seeds for home. They had them in stock. The lines at the register weren’t long at all. After paying, I was gone.
At the time I went, it wasn’t too crowded. Maybe because it was a weeknight and there was no threat of severe winter weather. I can’t speak about the parking lot as I didn’t park there at the time I went. I walked here since I parked in the downtown area in favor of where I needed to be at a certain time.
As far as negativity was concerned for this experience, there was none. The person at the register had a positive attitude. If you want to buy booze, the liquor store is next door (which still bears the A&P logo…). Overall, a flawless experience.

I just have to say that this place is awesome. Every time I go here I say to myself «I fuckin love trader joe’s». The products fit my needs and exceed my expectations. The staff is always super friendly and the price of everything is such a bargain. Keep up the good work

Thank goodness I do not live closer because I would definitely be here on a daily basis. There are so many amazing selections… Where do I begin? The chocolate chip scones are delicious and so is the olive oil popcorn. In the freezer section, I can’t go home without a couple boxes of apple blossoms. The Tart D’Alsace…OMG! They also have their own version of a Chipwich… super yummy. The truth of the matter is that almost everything there is fabulous. There are definitely some misses here and there but for the most part, it’s pretty awesome. Now, I am wondering why I wrote this review because it’s already so crowded there, but I am now selling this place to all of you LOL

Their staff is always so friendly and out going… i love their fresh flowers … i took one star off because i wish they had a bigger gluten free selection

Ah yes, the poor man’s Whole Foods! This place always seems to draw a crowd for some reason. it’s a bit smaller than the Paramus one but it never ceases to disappoint me. Staff is friendly as always and they always have something fun and interesting to piqué my interest! I’m not a fan of the parking lot, nor some of the idiots that drive in said parking lot. So be careful out there!

This Trader Joe’s is really small, and doesn’t have a lot of options. The produce looked fresh and the place was well kept but the cashiers were a little less enthused than a typical TJ’s.
The produce section and the fresh baked goods section was really fresh. I bought some delicious apples and some pancake mix for a makeshift apple tart. Everyone said it was delicious so I will give TJ the credit for the delish apples.
The parking lot was pretty empty and I got a spot right near the door. I hate walking far with groceries so I was pleased. Super convenient location for the train if you need something fast to make for dinner after the commute home.
The best part is the A&P liquor store in the parking lot, they have a great selection and allows me to pick up some vino with my veggies.
There is no Booze for sale in the TJ’s, though it does say it on the Unilocal page.

I mean it’s a Trader’s Joe, I’m always a fan. This one however is teeny and therefore lends itself to being a crash course of people and carts. Not much in the produce department (it’s also winter) and the freezer aisle was a bit weak, but everything else seemed to be in place.
Nice staff, no wine store (although there is an A&P wine/​liquor store next door) and plenty of parking makes Trader Joe’s take yet another win. Definitely a great option in the area.

Trader Joe’s is always a fun experience when I shop there. They have their own brands (most of them organic) at affordable prices. They may be commercial, but their products and stores have a small town feel to them which is charming in itself. I’ve bought frozen products from them and whether it’s savory or sweet, they always taste fresh. In the past they’ve sold crème brûlée in its own ceramic ramekins. It was fun to eat and afterwords, you get to keep the ‘prize’! I don’t thing they sell it anymore… at least not the ones with the reusable ramekins. I’ve always felt welcomed by the employees and the store (s) have always been clean and organized.

My favorite supermarket super friendly customer service! I just wish they had more products because their prices and quality are great.

The only thing keeping this from a five-​star review is the parking situation. It’s not adequate for a store this busy, is shared with a liquor store, and the entitled a-​holes who shop here think they always have the right of way. Not the store’s fault.
This must be the highest producing-​per-​square-​foot store in the chain. You can get everything here that you can get in the smaller stores, packed into a very small footprint. I’ve never had issues with outdated food, the produce is almost always decent, staff keeps the shelves well-​stocked with the now-​well-​known quality TJ products. The staff, especially the older crew members, are always nice and helpful and many have been there for a long time. They have endless patience with the self-​important yoga moms and their no-​discipline children — an amazing feat by itself. Go early, go late, but don’t go when church is letting out around 11 AM on Sundays.
My kitchen is being remodeled and TJs has kept me well-​fed while I have no functioning kitchen other than a microwave.

Trader Joe’s, it’s no secret that I love you. Love you a lot in fact. I love your prices. I love your Trader Joe’s branded frozen foods. I love all of the seasonal products you release and how you have an ability to get me to purchase anything with the name pumpkin in it.
So if I love TJs so much, why aren’t I giving them 5 stars? The location! So small, so cramped. If you don’t come at offbeat times you are going to be in the middle of a cluster F in the parking lot, in the aisles, and in the checkout lines. There is no leisurely strolling up and down the aisles — it’s a get in and get what you need and get the heck out of there.
Despite the chaos, I will applaud the friendliness of the staff. I know it’s a trademark of TJs, but it really rings true here.
Also, my friends in other cities rave about buying cheap booze from TJs. I’m not knocking a star off for it, but it would be nice if they could get their liquor license (similar to how Fairway in Paramus just did). Just saying, TJs…

Expect to receive nothing but friendly service in the Hub of Pascack Valley — Westwood Trader Joes.

I’m here almost every day (no seriously), so I figured it’s about time to write a review.
For starters, I think that a requirement for all Trader Joe’s, but this one in particular, is that the staff has to be phenomenal. Every single person I’ve ever encountered here has been helpful, accommodating, and just all around decent. If you’re there all the time like me, they get to know you, always say hi and ask how you’re doing, and little things like that just make your day that much better.
As has been said, this store is smaller than the one in Paramus and Clifton, but it’s so much easier to find what you’re looking for, imo.
Now that it’s fall and pumpkin everything season, get there and stock up on the frozen pumpkin waffles (for $ 2. a STEAL), pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin pancake/​waffle mix, and PUMPKIN COFFEE for $ 8. It’s so good, unless you have a pumpkin allergy, and then sorry, bro.
The samples they make are always delicious and freshly prepared too, which is an added bonus.
My favorites include the frozen roasted red pepper pizza/​artisan pizza with asparagus on top, the frozen butternut squash risotto, organic spinach (for $ 2. seriously, how could you find a better deal?!), roasted red pepper hummus, and cinnamon schoolbook cookies ($ 2.50 for the tub, which you could easily eat in one sitting). They also have a good selection of fresh flowers from anywhere from $ 4 — $ 10 per bouquet, which is a good go-​to.
I remember a few years ago, Trader Joe’s produce was just okay, but they’ve stepped it up, now offering a wide variety where they try to showcase fruits/​veggies from local places, and it’s always fresh (again, when I’m there every single afternoon, or close to it, you see them changing things out with new, fresh items).
So overall, fantastic staff, easy to navigate store, and fantastic products at incredible prices!

I LOVE THIS TRADER JOES LOCATION!
Yes, it’s smaller but honestly, when I’ve been to bigger Trader Joe’s locations (mostly in the city) I’ve been overwhelmed and I’ve gotten lost in the craziness and chaos. But this location is really perfect in size, IMO.
The staff is so friendly and helpful. The store is clean and everything is organized great. I recommend trying their spinach kale greek yogurt dip with their quinoa black bean tortilla chips — SO DELICIOUS and great for when you have company!

I’m not sure I would have eaten much of anything besides trail mix and protein bars throughout grad school if it hadn’t been for TJ’s prepared foods!
Some of my favorites that are easy for taking to work/​school/​interning:
–Reduced guilt guac with edamame crackers (I know, sounds weird, but it works)
–Kalamata hummus with carrot sticks
–Grilled chicken mixed with tzatziki sauce over salad
–Peanut butter sandwich on Quinoa Bread
–Egg white salad
–Reduced Guilt Poblano Chicken frozen dinner
–Hake en Papillote frozen dinner
And on the rare occasions over the past 16 months that I DID find time to cook something… the pre-​chopped mirepoix and the taco seasoning packets were extremely helpful! And the pre-​cooked chicken sausages cooked with frozen kale and spinach also made for a quick and easy meal.
So thank you Trader Joes, for keeping me fed well and nourished throughout the duration of my master’s program.

Very small store.
Slightly useless.
I did pick up a very yummy curry chic salad (reminded me of a curry chic salad I one had at the Manchester airport)
Picked up a good bean corn salsa as well.

Great prices and really nice selection, even though it’s a small store. Perfect for people with dietary limitations since they have a lot of specialized products (gluten free, vegan, etc.). Nice staff too.
They need to work on the line issues — they’re in a semi circle kind of formation, making all the customers cram in and leaving no room for people to get to the nearby groceries.
Much better than the one on Route 17 in Paramus!
