Trader Joe’s

Very busy but the lines move quickly.
It’s Trader Joe’s… There’s always a great selection and friendly service.

Helpful staff, great inventory. Only drawback is the crowd of shoppers just standing around blocking the aisles as they yell back and forth.

Perhaps one of the highest volume locations in their chain, but the most poorly managed one,
and I have been a customer since the days Joe Coulombe still owned it… in LA.
Non-​responsive to customer feedback… and home office will not mess with this goldmine.
I love Trader Joe’s, except for this particular location.

I love this Trader Joes location! I’ve been coming here for years and years. The staff is incredibly helpful and very friendly. The store itself is very clean, merchandise is always well-​stocked, the lines are never long, and parking is never a hassle.

I have been coming to this location weekly for the last two years and each time I am more and more impressed. First of all, the staff and management are always ultra helpful, friendly, and outgoing. That’s really what separates TJ’s from other grocery stores in my mind. I even tried getting a job here about a year ago when I was looking for an after school job. My availability was too low to be hired but one of the managers, AJ, was seriously so nice to me during the whole process (I kept calling to follow up) Now a year later I have had no bad experiences here.
The prices are great. I love their wine tasting (M-​F afternoons) and their sample area. All their produce is very fresh and affordable — except I wish they would have ripe avocados! I always have to buy mine green and wait 4 – 5 days to eat them… But seriously, if thats my ONLY complaint with this place, then that is saying something.
Love this brand, this location, and this food. 5+ stars.

So much more spacious than the one in Westchester! I almost didn’t know what to do with all the room to walk through the store. I am curious, though, if Trader Joe’s stock their items differently… like for example their salsa roja and salsa tomatillo were no where to be found. The roja is one of my essential cooking items and they don’t carry it. Weird.

Best trader how’s in the county. BIG, great selection, super cool staff, and last but NOT LEAST the daily wine tasting! By far, my top pick for grocery shopping in the area.

Been to one Trader Joe’s…you’ve been to them all. Seriously. 32.4% alcohol by volume, private label Yummy-​and-​affordable snacky-​snacks and right-​sized meals, and oh-​so-​is-​it-​snark-​or-​caring, Hawaiian shirt wearing staff.
The only difference is the customer base. I’ve been in Trader Joe’s populated by Soccer Moms with perfectly architected hair, God Bless America yoga pants and I-​woke-​up-​like-​this makeup.
I’ve been in Trader Joe’s crammed with Single Professional Women (SPWs) in pencil skirts, yeah-I-guess-it’s-a-work-outfit blouses and peek-​a-​boo stilletos.
And I’ve been in Trader Joe’s stuffed to the gills with college-​age girls flaunting their is-​that-​sculpted-​or-​skinny-​fat bodies-​starved-​to-​death in their spandex hugging outfits that may have never experienced a drop of sweat.
And, I’ve appreciated each and every store, and this is no different. Now, excuse me while I go find individually packaged salmon fillets and pumpkin seeds. A fat guy’s gotta try!

This is my favorite Trader Joe’s. They have an excellent wine and beer selection, the store is almost always fully stocked, the crew is nice and knowledgeable, and there are usually enough checkout lines to get out the door quickly.
I am not a fan of the parking area. It’s really condensed, full of bad drivers, always packed, and has a terrible layout. I’ve gotten more than a few dings and dents on my vehicle in the past. Actually, that’s an understatement — my truck got totaled in the parking lot while I was shopping. Somebody hit the gas instead of the brake and slammed into it.
So if you’re driving that sparkly new 2016 Porsche 911, park in the back of the store and avoid the mess.
The wine and beer people are very knowledgeable about the products and are definitely worth chatting up. Don’t forget to stop by the demo station and grab a sample, but also make sure to be nice to the people behind the counter.

This is one of the best trader joes I have been to.
This location is never crowded and the staff is extremely friendly. They carry a wide range of food items and carry things you wont find at your regular grocery store like Grade B maple syrup.
I love this location!

I absolutely love Trader Joe’s! Everything I have tried so far has been unbelievably tasty, inexpensive, and satisfying. TJ is my go to place when I’m bored, hungry, grocery shopping, wanting a snack, craving desserts and much more.
Some of my favorite things to get at Trader Joe’s:
Produce
Fruit
Flowers-​inexpensive and fresh (usually)
Food and Snacks-​oatmeal dunkers, dried fruits, chips, chocolate covered pretzels, toffee chocolate, cereals, rolled oats, and agave
Cheese-​blueberry goat cheese, muenster, brie, sharp cheddar, gouda, and etc
Ginger Brew-​Yes, I know there was a recall on this because the bottle may burst but the drink is still delicious. Just cover your face while opening. LOL jk.
TJ is the epitome of how a grocery store should be. Great service, amazing products, samples of food, and great deals without needing a coupon.
Thank you Trader Joe’s for existing!

I love Trader Joe’s! It is clean and the food is delicious. They have such a wide variety of such good stuff. And I personally don’t think anything is too expensive.
They have lots of healthy food options which are great. I love the wide selection of cereals. There is a wide varitey of gluten-​free products for people that need that.
The produce is always really good and while it may be slightly more expensive than other stores, I think that it is better quality.
The dips and salsas and hummas and all that stuff is really great. And the soups! Okay I could go on and on because so much is good.
OH THE trail mix/​nuts/​dried fruits are delicious too. My favorite.
And the staff at this location was SO friendly and helpful. The cashier dropped my green pepper, and went and got me a new one… and then gave it to me for free! Just a small thing but sure was nice.
Definitely will be back! I love Trader Joes

So love this place!!! My kids love looking for «Pandi» the monkey. When they find her they get a free sucker… I love that you can go to the main counter and they have a full list of all their Gluten Free food and goodies. It makes my shopping so much easier.
All the employees are so nice and make you feel like family… Love the wine tasting area of course if for only the 21 and over. It sure was a Good way to try a new bottle of wine before you buy it… I have tasted some great wines that I would have never brought but did because I got to try them.

So I go to Sprouts for fruits and veggies (nice selection), hit up Target for general household and generic food items (good prices), and I go to Trader Joe’s for specific items that I can’t get elsewhere. Love their white meat chicken salad, reduced fat chicken salad, green salsa, frozen BBQ teriyaki chicken (I think its safe to say I kinda have a thing with chicken), ohhh and those dark chocolate peanut butter cups (the best!!). Staff has always been helpful and friendly… I dig this location (its also the closest one to me).

I love this Trader Joe’s! It is huge inside and is always super clean.
This Trader Joe’s has one of the biggest selections of fresh flowers (of any Trader Joes I have ever been to). The flowers are not crowded and the display is beautiful. Trader Joes has beautiful flowers for a great price! I just got 7 roses for $ 4.99.
Alcohol selection: the alcohol section is in the very back of the store. There is a tasting area (21+) that usually has a few different things to try as well as some snacks to sample as well (like mixed nuts). This is a great way to sample a new wine or beer. I am always enticed to buy!
This is a great Trader Joe’s. I would highly recommend shopping here.

THANK YOU Trader Joes! I am a huge fan of tuna for lunches and an occasional salad in the evening. Something has changed and the tuna here is now fantastic and I am so happy! I come in often and purchase 4 – 6 cans and every one I open is nice and pink and delicious. I virtually do all my shopping at Trader Joes now. Great organics on chicken, vegetables and bread. I even like their rice cakes! Extremely pleased.

Wonderful and friendly staff here. I always have a great time meeting the employees during check out.
The wine tasting is fun and I always pick up something different when I talk to the person giving sample behind the taste counter.

I love Trader Joes, but I especially love this one! The service is fantastic! Everyone is so friendly, helpful, and fast! The store is so kid friendly which is so refreshing!!! Thank you for being so awesome!!!
You know it says a lot about the service and culture of your company that your ratings are 4.5−5stars on Unilocal for multiple locations. Many companies strive for this but don’t know how to get it right, yet the formula is so simple. Have clear and transparent expectations, take great care of your employees, and in return they will take great care of their customers! When I go into any of your stores, it feels like your employees enjoy working there and enjoy helping your customers. They also love your food and give the best tips for new foods to try! Great job with your service and company culture!

Ok I don’t really like to give out very many 5 stars, but this location gets 5 stars for their wine tasting! Why doesn’t every trader joe’s do this? It definitely increases sales, I bought two bottles of wine and I wouldn’t have bought any if it wasn’t for the tasting. Will you please tell the trader joe’s on Culver in Irvine to get a wine tasting station? I’d prefer not to have to spend the gas money to drive all the way to costa mesa. Shout out to the two cashiers who have been growing out their beards for 2 years, solid work guys.

What is there not to love about Trader Joes?
This is a great location, excellent staff, very clean and well kept.
FUlly stocked with tons and tons of goodies, I don’t think I have ever not enjoyed anything I have bought here.
Excellent fruits, veggies, meats and cheeses, love the freezer isles, the drinks, really everything.
Prices range from a bit expensive for the meats and cheeses to cheap for pretty much everything else.
Love shopping here, my son always gets excited to come here as well, for the samples and free lollipop of course.
