Trader Joe’s

5 stars, not so much cause I got exceptional, out-​of-​the-​world type of service, but there’s not much reasons to knock it.
This traders is different than the other’s that I’ve been to is cause they have a «Wine Shop», a huge wine selection in the corner of the store. It’s it’s own section that’s about a fourth of the size of the store.
Wine aside, this TJ offers what your typical TJ would. Workers are nice as always, cashier makes friendly small talk. The parking lots isn’t the largest, but it is a good size.
& Oh Geez, after going to some Trader Joes in West LA and North Hollywood area, parking is so painful due to the size of the lot… AND you have to get it validated with a time limit. This one is easy peasy. There’s a small rush around 6:30−7, but that’s expected. There is also a security guard outside when I went, who directed traffic (around 7 PM) to help someone in handicap parking back out. So nice to see.

I had fun laughing at the review about an employee named Marcia and her offering of bags. How juvenile of the reviewer to get so angry inside when all he had to say is I’d only like 1 or 2 bags. Passive aggressive individuals like this are the hangnails of Unilocal.You forget about it until it gets caught on something and then you remember how irritating some meaningless flap of skin can be.
I like this place. Trader Joes in general is a really awesome concept. I like that they make a good amount of their own products and that these products are of good quality. I like that they offer quality goods at competitive prices and that everyone there is not just helping the customers, they’re helping each other. I like that they offer bags while many other stores now don’t take the time. It can be uncomfortable when you go shopping forget your bags and the clerk lets all your groceries pile up into a mound before noticing you are bag-​less.
The parking lot sucks of course but that’s only because we live in a town where no one knows how to drive. Either that or they are on their cell phones. This, of course, is unforgivable.

I love this Trader Joe’s. It’s much bigger than the one in Encino that I used to live near and the parking is much better too. The staff is also great. Always super helpful and if something isn’t write they will refund anything. Thanks for feeding us Trader Joe’s.
Once thing I would like to say though, is that I wish they would jump on the NON-​GMO-​VERIFIED movement. They say everything is non-​GMO in the store, but I’m not sure I can believe that. If it’s true, then why not be proud of it and show proof with the non-​gmo seal? That’s pretty much the only improvement I’d suggest to them.
Other than that, they are a pretty solid company. Thanks again!

Let’s keep this simple and short.
This place has awesome wine and beer selections! If you are a regular here or shop at Trader Joe’s then you know what they have to offer.
My dislike and drop in stars is for the very rude cashier lady named MARCIA. It’s unfortunate that someone like her still works here and treats people with a snarky attitude. Next time don’t ask me if I need a bag, if I obviously don’t have a bag to carry 6 beers, 1 bottle of wine, artichoke & jalapeño dip, crackers and a pinch of your attitude. Let me add that you still went on assuring I should start bagging items for you, when «service» was poorly demonstrated for me, my gf, and friend. And to top it off you didn’t ask how many bags I needed but pulled out 4 bags to bag this least amount of items. (hello, I assume you master bag handler)
I never write reviews or what not but don’t be rude to someone you don’t even know. «Thanks for showing me how to bag items!»

I’d love to give this TJ’s 5 stars. I believe the store is one of the best ever if not the best. Its huge, it has really large long aisles, it always has enough cashiers open and it has a huge wine selection. Plus it has a huge parking lot. Sounds like 5 stars right? Well then you add the rudest people ever that shop there and I vote not going. Why do they have a security guard for TJs? My guess is to referee customers and who arrived first for the spot. I thought everyone was happy that went to TJs. So you steal my parking space and I cut in front of you for a free coffee sample or potsticker sample? No its not one time, its every time I go there! I recommend only shopping when there are at least 20 open parking spaces and no free samples.

Great Variety — Great Prices — do we need anything more ?! :)
I love this store — they always have the best service and fresh inventory — and some of their products are just very hard to find elsewhere…
I go there weekly & I never had any issue.
The only reason I deducted a point was because they sometimes take out some products that I buy and never bring it back again…
I used to buy the organic Cream Top milk from them — every week — till one week it just disappeared to never be seen again… I tried other Trader Joe stores — but nothing there as well…
And this is the 3^rd product that they stopped carrying in the last 2 years that I’ve been buying there. I am slowly running out of favorites… and eventually will stop going there but do it all at Wholefoods…
I hope it doesn’t happen again. Regardless — I love this store !! :)

Love love love TJ’s. The prices are great and the food is also great. The soy ice cream is actually scoopable, unlike other brands, and is delicious. The cookie butter… unexplainablly yummy!!! You MUST try it for yourself. Enspecially the crunchy cookie butter. Also their frozen pineapple tibits are great as a yummy healthy alternative to ice cream! They are so good and makes a great healthy dessert. Love TJ’s!!! Make sure to try the cookie butter!!!

Bought lamb chops in the shrink wrapped packages and they were rank for the third time, bought broccoli in the package when to cook it and it was brown. In the same purchase my zucchinis had mold on them. I live with it a couple of blocks and right now I am disgusted

I stopped by to check it out the other day. Ridiculous parking, Long lines, the typical California thing. I just didn’t find anything that jumped out and said «THIS is why Trader Joe’s is special». So, I am just ho-​hum about the whole thing. I might go back, I might not. I just wasn’t impressed.

Trader Joe’s is my second favorite grocery store behind whole foods. But there are a few things that you just can’t beat at Trader Joe’s, the fresh orange juice is the best and hands-​down the cheapest option for fresh squeezed juice. I love that they have both pasteurize and unpasteurized which really makes a difference in flavor. They have a number of other outstanding juices like grapefruit and mixed berry. And you can’t beat Trader Joe’s in the fall if you are somebody who loves pumpkin flavored everything this is your go to place. Many of the end caps are celebrations of all things pumpkin from Teas to cookies, cakes, pancake mixes, breakfast bars if it’s made with pumpkin flavoring Trader Joe’s has it.
I also like the grab and go section with sushi, fresh salads, cut up fruit it makes putting a meal together really easy.
And you can’t compete with Trader Joe’s when it comes to friendly service they have the warmest employees it’s like they all drink some kind of happy juice there. Which means it must be a good place to work because you can’t pay employees enough to smile and be kind.

I love Trader Joe’s and I have for years they have the best food produce and I love the orange chicken that’s in the freezer milk and Gary are always cheaper and her snacks are yummy

Best one in LA by far with the largest wine selection. Makes me pretty happy. Wide aisles, great parking, and fully stocked. Enough checkers open so the lines aren’t long. This is my go-​to in the San Fernando Valley for TJ’s… and I live closer to the one on White Oak which is too small, and the parking lot is a joke… but now that I have this one… it is worth the trip up a few miles.

One of the few Trader Joe’s where the parking lot isn’t designed for FIATs… that said I usually always find street parking to avoid the parking lot… with everyone arriving and leaving during peak hours… it can still get dicey. The service is pretty ok… selection is amazing and being one of the few Trader’s to have a basically separate wine, beer and spirits store within a store I’m definitely a fan. Not as inviting of a staff as the Encino Joe’s, but a handful friendly people to keep me coming back. Be more personable and it’s 5 stars for me. if you’re a vegan or vegetarian this place is very inexpensive compared to larger chain grocers and health food stores (like follow your heart and whole foods).
Side Note: This store does it’s best to keep everything in stock, can always find what I need and then some… definitely one of the larger Trader Joe’s in Los Angeles with even more variety than it’s brother an sister stores.

Super random to do a review for a market, but trader joes is amazing! Perfect blend of quality and price for me.
What I love the most is the food of the day corner. I have stolen plenty of recipes from that station and will continue to make those recipes at home! Lol

A good large TJ’s near the freeway on and off ramp if I need it
Well stocked also I like the little wine tasting area in the corner and the free food tastings
Lots of check outlines to get out of there quickly

This location has the biggest wine inventory in all of LA. In fact, they even have tastings in the store! The wine/​beer section could double as a liquor store with its size. We’re usually here every couple of weeks to stock up. Parking isn’t as bad since they don’t have to share the lot and there’s ample street parking. Oh well. Bad parking and Trader Joe’s kinda goes together. I honestly don’t know what I’d do if I ever moved away and didn’t have access to a Trader Joe’s.

Very kind employees and clean store.
Came here 15 minutes before closing and no one rushed us and everyone was super helpful.
Plenty of parking in the parking lot behind the store.

By far the best Trader Joes location I’ve ever been to.
From the free wine tasting to the fact that they have more selection than other locations.
This TJ is huge, clean, well put together.
As usual, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
They even had a Kosher Malbec that I haven’t seen in any of the other stores. I was pleasantly surprised.
Can’t wait to go back!

Easily the best Trader Joes location, in many ways I don’t even want to rave about it in fear that everyone else will catch on.
Like every other person has stated, the parking is reason enough to come here. Even if I walked inside and the aisles were empty, I’d at least be satisfied that I didn’t deal with the huge headache that so many of the other TJ’s in the valley deal with. The parking attendant on busy days is a huge plus too.
Luckily I don’t have to worry about the empty aisles I talked about earlier though. This place is always well stocked, plenty of fresh produce and their salad and wrap selection is always full, I can’t remember ever leaving here without every item that I had on my list. (I can’t say the same of other valley locations)
The staff is the icing on the cake. They are always helpful and attentive.
The location overall is great and will keep me coming back as a loyal customer.

Love this location
They have a guy help with parking during busy times.
Avoid Sundays and Mondays evenings.
Also, for those of you who enjoy two buck chuck, use a manual wine opener. For some reason, the cork will easily mess up any automatic fancy wine opening gadgets.
