Trader Joe’s

Everyone is always so happy whenever I come here. I wish I could work here!

Friendly employees. Good selection. This Trader Joe’s is conveniently located near the mall and my house.

This is purely for the wine selection. I wanted to mix it up and see what the rave was.
First impression: Bogle wine listed for cheaper than I have seen anywhere else including the winery. Great because that is my go to wine.
Boeger was on the next end cap. This winery is one of my favorites in Apple Hill.
Viognier selection. Oh my goodness do I love viognier’s and these aren’t easy to find in stores.
Prices are great in every category.
Staff is friendly and I will be back.
See my review of the wine I bought for this first trip and join Sacramento Wine Enthusiasts group on Facebook.

5 stars because they deserved it.
But mostly because they are the only store I’ve found unpasteurized orange juice at. I pretty much avoid drinking anything aside from water (or wine ;D) due to everything being pasteurized. Generally TJ’s seems pretty over-​priced but if you avoid all the fancy processed snacks, or are on a vegan diet (not buying their cheeses & meats), then it’s actually more affordable than mainstream grocers. Sprouts Farmer’s Market used to be a close second.
I’m vegan, but the rest of my house is omni or vegetarian so there is cool stuff for everyone here. I just happen to get the best deals!
Pluses: Great alcohol & ciders selection.
Vegan chocolate chip cherry ice cream.
Orange juice.
Handwritten clarification on most vegan «dairy» items.
Trader Joe’s brands of salsas, marinades, plant milks, and juices.

My favorite go to trader joes is this one. Everyone is always so friendly and kind and the store is clean and well organized which I appreciate. I can always find what I need and if I can’t, there is always someone willing to help. Love all the products. And it’s really close to my school so I come here time to time after school for a treat or a jar or two of cookie butters or fig/​pumpkin butter. Trader joes is awesome.

Best customer service and the staff is So awesome/​sweet! Love this location. Everyone working at this TJ’s has always been really helpful. The parking is fairly decent as well.

After being a Trader Joe’s customer for a year here in Fair Oaks, I have to say that my opinion continues to get better and better each time I go there. The employees are friendly, courteous, and helpful. The products are reasonably priced and many are top shelf. I don’t mind stopping here 2 or even 3 times a week.

I am giving Trader Joe’s one star because of their negligence in protecting their customers from thieves in their stores. Shoplifters know that Trader Joe’s stores maintain a passive attitude about security and that they don’t believe in cameras in their stores. As a result, one store after another is being infiltrated with criminals making the rounds and lifting women’s wallets. Even after they are told, they do nothing about it. I was robbed in the Sunrise Blvd. store on Sunday, and by Thursday, my own mother had the same thing done to her in the Folsom store. Same manager was alerted to both cases and still nothing has been done.
Wise up Trader Joes!

So this is a second review. I went in today with my girl. She is learning the fine lady-​like art of flirting. She met Mathew when asking about a kids shopping cart. He explained about kids getting injured so they hide 5 stuffed ponies to find while shopping. My girl had picked a flower before entering the store and she offered it to him. He was flattered and showed her the treasure chest full of lolly pops to choose from after finding all 5 ponies. We thanked Mathew and began shopping. My girl found all 5 ponies and ran to Mathew to collect her prize. Mathew made a big deal about how quickly she found them so he gave her her choice of flavor and some stickers! She was over the moon! She gave him a hug and off we went again. She was a good helper as we continued our shop. Mathew popped back over to give my girl a little pumpkin. She was so happy!!! So I want to tell Mathew how happy he made my girl today! Most store clerks cant be bothered with small children, but Mathew def went out of his way to kind. Store manager, I hope you can relay our delight at how well we were treated today 9÷24÷15.
Besides this, dont forget that any item with a Trader Joe label is Non-​GMO, very nice to know! I’m loving the «Not your Dads Root beer» in a 6 pack for $ 11! It makes a great rootbeer float! Yum!

I love Trader Joes. The store is always so clean and organized and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The main reason I shop here though is because of the quality of the products. There are plenty of organic and all natural options at a very competitive price compared to other health food stores, and quite honestly, most of the products in this store are fairly comparable in price to even the cheap budget chain markets. Also, every item at Trader Joe’s, whether organic or not, is non-​GMO (not a genetically modified organism). Trader Joe’s carries its own brand of items that are quite tasty and put together well. Although the stores may seem small compared to larger grocery chains, you can pretty much do all your shopping here because they carry just about everything and then some very unique additional items as well! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the daily coffee and food samples in the store!

Always friendly, professional service! …and the BEST price on eggs in town-​$ 1.99 a dozen

Omgoshhh, why have I never shopped here before? Everything looks delicious! The staff was by far the best I’ve ever encountered at a grocery store before. So nice and they actually talk to you when you’re checking out.
This place is organized and clean. I really like that in a store. It was moderately priced as well which is always a plus! Definitely coming back for our next grocery trip!

Always friendly and helpful staff at this location.
Store is kept well stocked and organized. Restroom is am unfortunate disaster though.
Love that they carry my favorite cheese which is hard to find — St. Andre (triple cream French brie) and they still have soft baguettes even at 7pm when I feel like having wine and cheese for dinner instead of cooking.

Great healthy foods!!! Friendly cashiers and people who work here. Large assortment of organic and regular foods. I love this place!!!

Great prices on organic veggies and milk. They were also having a sale in wine so I bought a case. Love their friendly helpful staff. Quick & easy check out was also a bonus. I also appreciate how the store groups their organic produce all in one location verses spread out and mixed in wt non organic. This makes the hunt less time consuming :).

What’s not to love about TJ’s? Seriously. I heart this place. Too much good stuff! It does get crazy in here like every other location (especially on the weekends), but the products offered and their reasonable pricepoints keep me coming back. Some of my mainstays include the cilantro jalapeño hummus (which taste perfect with the reduced guilt pita chips), the butternut squash ravioli, the milk chocolate covered pretzels, the frozen chocolate covered banana slice, and anything having to do with that infamous cookie butter!
Service is always very helpful and the cashiers are very efficient. One of my most favorite places to shop. Even when I buy things impulsively, it’s never too hard on my wallet.

Very cozy store. Lots of organic food, very intelligent people, most friendliest cashiers that I ever seen. What can I say this store brings best of us;)) 5 big stars !!!

I have always been a fan of Trader Joe’s — but the Fair Oaks location is the best one around. Easy to find parking and really friendly staff. They excel at customer service here and there is barely a wait to check out. I really like that there is no self checkout.
The produce and selection is great. I shop for my family, including our furry members who love the beef sticks and charlee bear treats.
A few of our favorite items are the Santa Maria Tri Tip, french vanilla coffee creamer and vanilla joes — plus all of the fabulous produce. We shop here weekly and love the new items that show up seasonally.

Trader joes is one of my absolute favorite places to go grocery shopping. I peruz the aisles multiple times in awe of all the treats. I think I’ve spent atleast two hours in there once.(I know what you’re thinking, get a life, Kim!) I could sing an ode of love to them while throwing pebbles at their window and swaying outside in the illusionary breeze. I think you’ve gotten my point, so lets get down to the basics.
The food and variety here is awesome. They offer a lot of fresh, organic, and free range products that arent going to break the bank. I have not had a single thing here that I didn’t like. While I have a few favorite products that are on the «every timer list», one of my favorite things to do when I go in is find something I haven’t tried before. Typically, it winds up on my every time list. I’m an avid cheese enthusiast and you will probably catch me staring longingly at the epic cheese selection. In case you were wondering, here are a few of the «every timers»:
1. The Personal Goat Cheese Pizza (Photo below. This was by far my favorite thing here. I had been eating it almost every week for over ten years when they all of a sudden discontinued it and broke my heart. The wound will forever be fresh.
2. The Cheese Gnocchi — It says it has multiple servings, but I just power through that baby to myself knowing yet not caring that a stomach ache is in my near future.
3. Polenta with spinach and carrots. This is an awesome side dish, or if you’re like me a full meal. :)
4. Pretty much any cheese. I always seem to leave with at least one. Currently, my favorite one is the spicy chili chreve goat cheese that was recently released. I actually mixed a bit with the above mentioned cheese gnocchi and went to town.
Ok honestly, making a list was probably a bad idea because 1. I want to go there now and eat these things, and 2. I could keep listing things that I love.
The service here is really good, the only thing I would say is that its not really «active customer service». They arent typically approaching you or passing you by and inquiring if you need any help. To some people that is a good thing because they don’t want to be bothered, but personally, I like it. Then I don’t have to track someone down. Once I do spot the hawaiian shirt though, they are super nice and helpful.
Trader Joes will forever hold a special place in my heart and I will shop here til the end of time. I am withholding the fifth star until they bring back my goat cheese pizza. If that were to happen, I really would have to sing that ode of love.

This is my favorite TJ’s location. The staff is always beyond helpful and super friendly. Ample parking compared to the madness in east sac.
Had a problem with something from a prior visit from another location. Didn’t even have it with me or a receipt and they insisted on taking care of it right then and there.
Stephanie was on sample duty and was great to chat with. She provided a lot of insight and helpful information about the company that I had been curious about.
This location is always well stocked, clean and full of help when you need it. The people who work here seem genuinely happy about being at work.
Pretty much always find something new and delicious looking to try when I’m here, and it usually is.
People tend to think of TJ’s as pricey. It really isn’t. I’ve done all of my shopping here and at a discount chain and the difference is not that huge surprisingly (depending on what stuff you normally buy of course).
