Trader Joe’s

No wonder this store has so many good reviews! No it’s not a flower delivery store, it’s a grocery store but I’m about to write about my experience today about flowers. I’m from Dallas, TX and my significant other lives in Atlanta, GA. I frequently use different flower delivery services in Atlanta but literally spent hours today trying to get flowers delivered to my significant other’s home but failed miserably because none of the flower delivery shops will do same day delivery and their cut off time was earlier than usual due to memorial day weekend. Found one delivery service and even paid them extra for same day delivery but after an hour received an email apologizing that it can’t be delivered until Friday May 27^th. After being disappointed at multiple flower delivery services today I randomly thought of calling this Trader Joe’s location up in Buckhead because my better half always goes there for grocery shopping. Called up this location, Someone named Christine picked up the phone and knowing its merely a grocery store I still asked her with my *fingerscrossed* if there was any way someone could have some flowers delivered to an address 20 mins away from the store and she said they don’t do flower deliveries but however she took my information and recipients information saying she’d get one of her crew members to do this for me since that person is getting off around the time I called and she said she’d give me a call back to confirm. About two and a half hours later someone named Ryan (Ryon as another Unilocaler reviewed here) gave me a call saying the flowers have been delivered at the front door of the recipient! Here I was thinking maybe Christine couldn’t find anyone so I kinda just gave up until this guy called to say its already been done! Then I asked him how much it was or he’d charge me for delivery and everything so I could Venmo him the amount but he surprises me again by saying «oh please do not even worry about it at all, please consider this as a good deed, he is one lucky man to have someone so loving as you and he should know that» and I was just jaw-​dropped-​shocked, that statement left me speechless. It’s not about the money spent on the flowers and literally burning gas to deliver them especially when it’s not his job, it’s about the thought of doing good to and for someone completely unknown because neither did he ever see me nor my significant other so why did he have to? He expected absolutely nothing in return, today no matter where he is I will be praying for this good deed of his and I will make sure to personally go to this store to say thankyou to him when I visit atlanta next time. In the meantime, if anyone is reading this review and happen to go to Trader Joe’s in Buckhead, please see Ryan/​Ryon to give him a big thankyou for me for being the kind of person he is with such a good heart and may God bless him always. Currently in the process with the corporate for this beautiful gesture of their crew member in order to be recognized! Their customer service is perfect ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

«Hello Joe, what do you know? «– M*A*S*H: Season 1 | Episode 5
I’ve been cheating on Publix with my side man, Trader Joe. He’s consistant — always there for me when I need him, provides me with great fruit, veggies, meats, breads, even flowers to brighten my day. He really has yet to fail me.
Oddly located in Buckhead — you cannot easily get in or out off Peachtree — but there is tons of parking in the back and along the side. There is always a ton of carts and baskets available and the store is very well laid out. There is always a ton of stock and people around to help answer questions or help find what you need.
Make sure to bring your own bags as you can enter the weekly contest to win free groceries — this store asks for food restrictions (although they don’t ask about tree nut issues). Also, they take Apple Pay — yay! I’m usually in and out in less than 15 minutes. Did I mention I’m in love?

This location is always busy so parking can be an issue. Friendly helpful employees are the norm. I really enjoy the trader Joe’s sunscreen and some of their candy. They also have fair prices on kefir and soy sausage. Be sure to try some samples in the back. It’s usually pretty good. Last time they had peach juice with sparkling water that was extremely refreshing. Be sure to bring your own bags.

Yayy for a closer Trader Joe’s! This location rocks my socks — right on Peachtree Street and happily has it is own quite adequate sized lot. The layout of the shop is distinct from many other Trader Joe’s shops I’ve been to, but everything is very simple locate.

Second Trader Joe’s I’ve visited & oh man. I need to live closer to this breath of fresh air. Friendly, clean, simple. Whenever I’m daytrippin’ in Atlanta I make sure to stop in.

Glad to see TJ’s penetrating the market out east. I was on a business trip in Atlanta and decided to stop into my favorite neighborhood shop for some snacks and drinks. Upon walking through the automatic double doors, I felt right at home. The merchandise assortment was terrific, and the store layout was consistent with the ones in California. No fuss, great service, and even better food!

I love this Trader Joe’s! today I had the pleasure of getting some amazing help from James (manager) and Team Member, Courtney. They did not hesitate to offer a solution, immediately put it into action, and help me get on my way.
Every time I visit this location, I am impressed at the entire team’s commitment to customer service and remain grateful that we have a TJs in this area.
I look forward to continuing to shop here for great deals, beautiful flowers, and interact with fun/​helpful TJ’s Team Members.

First of all, how can you not love Trader Joe’s? I went in the other day and bought 10 of the grapevine wreaths outside. After purchasing the wreaths a trader joes employee named RYON came up to me and asked me what I was going to be using them for. I told him the reason I was buying the wreaths was because I’m giving them away as gifts to my family. Ryan appreciated that and ended up giving me three more wreaths for free. How can you beat that kind of service? It really shows the kindness of Trader Joe employees, not to mention impeccable Christmas spirit! I love Trader Joe’s & Kudos to you Ryon!

I have been searching for some really good deals on PH water, & here we are… Trader Joes! You can buy their brand & it beats other brands around town with a 9.5 PH. There was a really nice & personable cashier who moved from NY who helped me tremedously by grabbing a few boxes for me to carry the water in. You can usually find some type of deal here for specialty items. But wait, so they just gonna make a cookie butter ice cream like that! Wow… The nerve… the burning desire to grab it still lingers in my soul… lol
One of my favorite things to get out of her has to be their Mango lemonade… Ooooo so divine! I usually buy like 4 of them at once. It is so good. Parking wasn’t too shabby. The front is to the back. A few of the customer’s shopping look like they had gas in their backs which caused them to look agitated but hey, it’s all good. Hehe. Go visit this spot if you haven’t.

From a cost and taste perspective, there are a few things that Trader Joe’s does better than all the other supermarkets in Atlanta. We love to make our own pizza so the whole wheat pizza dough is clutch. The chocolate covered almonds and almond crisp cookies are a must for dessert. Frozen burritos are great for lunches and you can’t find cooking wine any cheaper. They have incredible prices on their nuts and we buy a lot of frozen fruit for smoothies there. Lastly, the truffle cheese is incredible. We try to avoid buying meats (pricey) and fresh veggies (smaller selection), but everything else is fair game!

Like the Midtown location, this store has limited parking. This one has less parking than the Midtown store, but it appears also less demand. I tend to have more luck finding parking here than at my home store. I go to Trader Joe’s for specific items such as yogurt, naan, brocolli slaw, peanut vinegarette, frozen meals. When I commented to a staff member that I would frequently drive over and my specific item needed would be out of stock, she gave me a card for the store and told me that I could always call ahead for someone to check. Aww, how nice. Sadly, that item is no longer stocked in the store. :-(I get the Frequent Flyer in the mail and it gives me ideas of what to purchase. Which is not necessarily a good thing lol. I appreciate that Trader Joe’s provides a great product at a reasonable price point.

Trader Joe’s is bae. Before anything else, and not even exaggerating. While Trader Joe’s isn’t my go-​to for produce or meat, it is definitely my favorite for everything else.
I made a huge detour during lunch and headed to Trader Joe’s for a super cheap lunch after a splurge on cupcakes and coffee. I ended up getting the Porcini Mushroom lasagna, and microwaved it to a hot perfection. It was a little greasy but hey, where can you get a 2.99 mushroom lasagna that tastes like this?
Free coffee and free samples of the day. Is there any way to go wrong at Trader Joe’s?
And no, I’m not getting paid by Trader Joe’s to put in a good word.

So many interesting food and beverage choices. The staff is very nice and helpful. Although a big chain, they totally make you feel like they are your neighborhood grocer. Best place to buy wines… and not just two buck chuck. Only wish they would plant one in Peachtree City! Got the Perfect spot — Lexington Square!

I just love shopping here! As you walk in the store, the first thing you see is a variety of beautiful flowers for your table. What a nice way to make any homemade meal special. I got the Trader Joes raspberry tart from the freezer section last week and it was amazing! I served it for dessert to my guests at a dinner party and it was such a hit. I also really love the frozen vegetable mixes too. I usually base my weeknight dinner meals around these. There is a great cheese section as well. I get my very favorite, Comte, here. I love the produce section. There is such a great variety. The prices are reasonable, the selection is great the service is friendly, and they have a great wine selection. What more could you ask for?

This is the first trader joes I’ve been to. Needless to say the prices and quality groceries along with organic options I was pretty much in grocery heaven.
I buy a couple things recurrently, such as dried raspberries, cookie butter (to die forrrrr), crunchy cookie butter, trader joes brand of ginger snaps, and expresso candy.
They also have a wine, beer, candy and even hygiene section. All of which are super fun to stroll through.

I love this Trader Joe’s… I frequent it almost weekly. To be fair, I love most Trader Joe’s but this has been my spot since I moved to Atlanta. It’s fairly large and the staff is very friendly. Always have samples of coffee and something tasty.
The only thing that really stinks is the parking lot. I got into a fender bender here once because its so tiny and awkwardly shaped and people come whipping through (I know I sound like an old lady). But now I go veerrrryy slowly or I park on the side of the building.

Trader Joe’s is always a treat, but this location is particularly laid back, and the staff is warm and friendly. Prices are definitely more reasonable than at Whole Foods. It’s funny how the entrance is in the back of the store, not really on Peachtree. I really like their little free coffee sample area — really good coffee.

I’ve lived in Atlanta for 5 months now. I’ve experienced both this location (Buckhead) and the one on Monroe. And in these 5 months I’ve been silently waiting for either of them to leave me with a positive impression.
But, I went to this TJ’s today and I was left speechless. No one said hello or asked if we needed help. I passed at least a dozen employees, all of which ignored me.
Even when I was checking out, I got a grunt from the crew member checking me out and her yelling to the captains desk saying that she needed to leave her register and that people keep coming up. (She didn’t put her sign up.) And then when the mate came over to help her, they just talked. Didn’t even acknowledge us.
And I have a cute kid! A friendly kid! A very well behaved kid who I know would have loved a sticker for being so good :(
Hey. I get that there are «bad» or «busy» days, but I also know that Trader Joe’s boasts its self on having excellent customer service. But, I’ve had better customer experience at a Kroger than at this particular location.
I used to work at two different Trader Joe’s locations in Maryland. I worked with Trader Joe’s for years until we moved and I decided to stay home with our newborn.
I know that this would be absolutely unacceptable. And this wasn’t the first time this has happened at this particular location. I might not even come back. Extremely disappointing.
Please Please Please get it together!

I absolutely love this location. I’m embarrassed to say that I didn’t even know that this location existed! I guess because I always went to the Monroe Dr location because it was closer to home. This location is SO much better with parking. The Monroe Dr location will get you a case in the parking lot. Fresh, cheap produce is what I always love about TJ’s. You can’t beat the selection of nuts they have either. Let me let you in on a secret and shoot me a thank you later for the 10 lbs you’ll gain -)
The next time you go into any TJ’s, please pick up some of my favorites:
* «Karat Cake» — If you are a carrot cake lover, you will absolutely LOVE this. It’s in the frozen section. Pick up 2 boxes because they are small.
* Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus — OMG to die for!
* Chicken Lemongrass Stix — Love this for apps w/​a bottle of their sweet chili sauce
Tip:
When you exit, go down the little side street so you can catch the light to exit either left or right onto Peachtree Rd. Otherwise, if you exit the directly onto Peachtree, you can only make a right turn.

Trader Joe’s is a dream for people with special dietary restrictions and preferences.
Just stop by the customer service desk (on the far left wall) and ask for a shopping list that is tailored to your needs. I know they have lists for gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diets; there may be others too. Everything on the list has been vetted by Trader Joe’s so there’s no need to check labels. You can quickly walk through the store and pick out products you want. Super convenient.
