Trader Joe’s

This Trader Joe’s location was pretty good, clean, plenty of parking and of course free samples. I had hear that if you wanted to try something in the store that was packaged, all you have to do is ask one of the associates to help you and they’ll let you sample the product. The workers here were all very friendly and one stopped what he was doing to go check if a product was in stock. I don’t know of a whole lot of Trader Joe’s and don’t even frequent them that much but this one was a good example of what I would want my grocery shopping experience to be like.

Love this store. Clean, friendly check-​out peeps. Smaller store, no alcohol sold here. I like bread and bakery was moved to corner so it’s not in my face tempting me! Shopping carts are clean, the right size and easy to navigate. Seriously people, some markets have nasty carts!
This location seems to have most items in stock and fresh even if I go in the evening. Great selection of items too!
Chicken breakfast sausage, bacon, Danish pancakes, smoked trout and frozen croissants keep me coming back! Thank you for existing!

This was my go-​to Trader Joe’s when I lived in nearby Madison. I miss it. It’s never too busy and there is always parking available. The customers are civilized and pleasant. The employees are very helpful and friendly as most Trader Joe employees are. I once was looking for unsalted crunchy almond butter for a few weeks so I asked an employee. They looked it up on their computer and told me when the next delivery was so I could come back on or about that day. Sure enough it was there when I came back. With the craziness that goes on at the Millburn and Westfield locations, I may just come back to this one even though it’s out of the way.

3.5 stars to be exact.
The good:
— very clean location, which is very well stocked anytime i have been there. I tend to drop in on my lunch hour to get some grocery shopping in when I don’t feel like being raped by the prices at other local grocery stores in the area (i.e. kings).
–Samples are always well stocked and given out by very upbeat employees, then again i know thats pretty much a requirement to work at TJ’s. Also, you never feel like you’re inconveniencing anyone when asking for an item’s location.
–checkout always moves quickly. This even goes for the rush of the lunch hour shoppers.
–prices are reasonable and plenty of natural foods to choose from.
the not-​so-​good:
–the organic food selection could stand to be a little better (in terms of produce) but, hey, I know it’s not whole foods.
–the parking situation is pretty miz. be ready to fight for a spot if you’re going at peak time. Especially being located in a strip mall, you’re bound to have to do a few loops to find a spot.
The takeaway:
–if you’re in the area and want to grab a few items for a reasonable price and do not want the overwhelming experience that larger grocery stores have to offer, definitely check this TJ’s out. Plenty of items to appeal to many varieties of tastebuds on top of service with a genuine smile rather.

My go to grocery store. Quality goods abound. Store brand is top notch, way ahead of all the rest. Variety abounds. Want thai? Got you covered. Indian? Right here. Cheese? You’ll go cross-​eyed trying to decide. Best prices around on organic produce. No alcohol at this location, but you can’t have everything.
To be sure Trader Joe’s doesn’t carry everything. You may need to visit another store to fulfill your needs but that’s really small beer in the long run.
Cult status? Most certainly. But this chain has earned it. Has sort of a SoCal/​Jimmy Buffett vibe going. Knowledgeable, friendly, extremely helpful staff. The house brands are the bomb.

Bought lots of items today. My favorite shopping stop. Too bad that there is no trader joe in upstate NY.

Everyone is so helpful and nice. TJs has the best selection of coffees anywhere and you can get beans or ground. You will always find something that is new and very tasty.

They have the best peach, period. These T. J brand ones 13/​box are so addictive. I have been eating these juicy cuties everyday, three time a day.
The honey bread we for was kind of weird. I am not sure if it suppose to be bitter or the cook burned the dough.

What can I say? This place can’t be beat. My wife and I stop here once a week to get food for the week. Great selections at great prices. The staff is great too. They make a normally anti-​social guy like me, social. :-)

I love trader joes! This place is wonderful! Sometimes I sneak away on my lunch break to grab a snack, explore the store or do some grocery shopping. The food is also reasonably priced too.
The staff is really really nice and helpful. I’ve had a situation before where I thought my food tasted weird after I bought it and called them and they said okay! Bring it back and we will exchange it no questions asked. Can’t wait to go back.

Trader Joe’s is pretty awesome. It’s not the biggest store but they have a pretty good selection of various foods. Major props to them for having a phenomenal «pumpkin food» selection during the Fall. My wife and I come here to get some of their frozen apps, cheeses, cereal and fruit. My wife is also a huge fan of their famous cookie butter (not so much for me). But, many people are.
They always have some free samples of something which makes for a more pleasant trip. The most surprising thing about Trader Joe’s to me are the prices. You’d think this place would be a total ripoff but they’re actually incredibly reasonably priced. The checkout lines are always fast and the employees are always very friendly and helpful. Be careful what time you go, though, as this is an incredibly busy shopping center and finding parking can be an issue.

The parking lot can be crowded and sometimes hard to find a spot.
Upon entering the store is clean and well maintained. The shelves were well stocks and prices were clearly displayed.
The employees were friendly and said hello as they walked past me.
There is a large selection of organic produce and foods. The vegetables all looked fresh.
They have a great selection of snacks and no matter your taste you are sure to find one you like. I have purchased their pre made pizza dough on more than one occasion and it has always been great.
No alcohol at this location.

The most dangerous time of the year for me to come here is during the fall because of all their pumpkin and holiday items!
*As I’m checking out*
Cashier: I’m going to guess that 6 out of these items are non-​pumpkin related items
*Rings me up*
He’s right! Spot on! LOL and I had about 30 items in my cart too.
This is the closest TJ’s to me so I’m always coming to this one for a quick pick me up (sometimes I’ll spoil myself and go to the one in Westfield or Princeton because they have a decent selection of booze there. can’t beat Two-​Buck Chuck!). Coming here always makes me so happy every time because the employees are fantastic — super helpful, sweet and they have great sense of humor. As much as I love TJ, it can be quite dangerous when I come here especially without a grocery list because I just want to try EVERYTHING!
I suggest coming on a weekday because weekends can get super crazy. Try the free samples at the food station. But be careful, because you’ll probably end up buying it! Especially when they make the hot foods, it gives me ideas of mixing items I never thought of doing. Thanks for the ideas TJ! I also really enjoy their cheese selection here too, they have a wide range of different cheeses that you wouldn’t find at your normal supermarket even though TJ is much smaller (cheddar cheese with bacon. what?! try it, it’s delicious!).
I love how there are a lot of healthy options here (natural and organic), it’s nice not having to drive all the way to Whole Foods to get something tasty and organic. Salad prices here are also better than bigger supermarkets. I’ve also tried some of their natural beauty products and the quality is great for the price.
Also if you are looking for an item and they don’t have it, just let a staff member know and they will call you when it comes in stock :) I love how even when it’s not crowded, the staff will open up more lines to speed up the process unlike other stores I’ve been to — you never have to wait forever at TJs. Oh and FYI, you can also use manufacturer’s coupons here for the non-​TJ brand items, duh lol.
Highly recommend this store, just come here with a grocery shopping list or else you will make a big dent in your wallet, lol!

I never been to a Trader Joe’s I don’t like.
Staff is über friendly and helpful. Cashiers are always fast and willing to open a lane to speed up the process. Paper bags are always offered, but come on now peeps lets go green and bring our own. Fresh flowers all the time, luv buying orchids here they are always priced so much better than anywhere else. N in case you forget to buy one they have cards for many occasions as well. There is a wide selection of everything totally good quality foods at a fair price.

Trader Joe’s is conveniently located in the center of town so I go there often. The employees are friendly and normally helpful, and the prices are very reasonable, especially compared to King’s across the street. Plus, they have a lot of good food that’s easy to prepare. I also like the fact that everything in the store bearing the «Trader Joe’s» name is non-​GMO. Yay! The last thing that I want to eat is food containing Monsanto’s franken-​wheat.
My main complaint about this TJs is their inventory management. They run out of stuff all the time. It’s so annoying. I’m not sure whether it’s a company-​wide supply issue or just a problem of poor inventory management in the Florham Park store. Whatever. IMO, brown rice is the sort of staple that should ALWAYS be in stock. I’m deducting stars because of this issue.

Trader Joe’s is the best thing that ever happened to Florham Park! This store has the nicest employees who could not be more helpful. The samples are terrific and you always get great ideas.
The prices are reasonable and the selection is unique and plentiful.
The new location is much better than its previous spot.
Try to avoid shopping on the weekends as the parking lot is full. Evenings are the best time to avoid crowds.
Tip: park in the back of the store.

Every time I hit Trader Joes I leave with $ 50 of snack food lol. Great friendly staffers and so many of them too, wish that every grocery store made it so easy to get help. And don’t miss the free food at the sample stand in the back!
The snacks are really quite good and surprisingly cheap. Every Cliff bar flavor, only a buck each. My family especially loves the chocolate-​covered cookies, a bucket of those basically vaporize when they get home. :) I’m a fan of the salsa, the wasabi mayonnaise and the fruit-​nut mixes.
But it’s not all just snacks, this store sells produce, cheese, raw meat, milk, olive oil and more. Even staples like laundry detergent. So you could actually shop here for a week and do just fine, just beware that snacking impulse.

I readily admit I like the Westfield store more. It sells wine and beer and I like to buy there now again because the selection is often interesting and the prices good. That said, you have your usual run of reasonably priced Trader Joe’s products .A good place to buy coffee, olive oil, certain toiletries and some good frozen foods. Not bad for cheese. Let me note this place, at times, has a really weird, rude clientele that can make the shopping experience less than exhilarating. On the other hand, I like the stores employees, who seem decent sorts. I wonder at times how they stand the clientele.

Yay!
I LOVE TRADER JOE’S! I love shopping here, despite how crowded it can get. I usually shop at my local grocery store (which is within biking distance of my house) but I will venture out to Trader Joe’s to stock up on things like organic coconut oil (which is quite affordable at TJs) and organic veggie burgers and all that hippie-​ish stuff.
The parking lot is on the smaller side but I’ve never had trouble finding a spot. Check out is quick and painless (most of the time) and there are always free samples to snack on.

I love me some TJs.
Everyone who works at this location is super nice — and I generally have a great experience — but the last few times I’ve been there they have been out of some staples that I go specifically to get there — like their Coconut Milk and Cookie Butter ! How you can be out of that?
Other than that this place is great — but I hate whenever I leave there a bit unsatisfied.
