Trader Joe’s

This TJ’s is located super close to my school so I go there quite often to get snacks or even to grocery shop during my break. Just like every Trader Joe’s it’s clean, well organized and full of helpful staff. This store is really on the bigger side so you never really find yourself bumping into other shopping carts — unless it’s incredibly packed! They have free parking (I believe for an hour) upon validation and I have never had a problem finding a spot. That being said, I usually go there at night and I assume it gets more crowded during the day. I go there at least once a week and have always found what I was looking for and I’ve always received exceptional service. I’m one of the biggest fans of TJ’s out there and every time I visit this one, I am reminded why.

This is perhaps the poorest Trader Joe’s I have ever been in. The staff are terrible. Too busy to help, and generally disinterested. I go to the one in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Blvd. now. A thousand times better.

The best place to get your astonishing wine and they provide the best customer service, such a wonderful atmosphere thank you MATHEW you’re always helpful and positive

This place, and the people, is amazing. They’re always conversational and helpful. Clearly TJs works hard to attract good talent. It’s convenient and has most everything you need. Granted, they’re all fairly small, but that adds to the convenience factor.
Prices are fair, quality is good.
Only wish they had a seafood or meat section, but beggars can’t be choosers.
Love you Mr. Joes.

Great location, great variety of healthy food, & liquids. TJ’s cares about the customer, this store is one of my favorites.

Love this Trader Joe’s! It has an amazing selection of produce, food, alcohol and fresh flowers. Always easy to find a spot in the free parking lot. The associates are always very friendly too!

It’s a Trader Joe’s! My family was on vacation for 11 days and we went to 5 different locations in California and Las Vegas. Haha I kept telling my son’s gf that the inventories can be a little different at each store so every city we went to we stopped at TJ’s. Haha. She ended up finding almost everything she wanted.
I always get me a fresh salad to keep in the hotel for my midnight snacks.
But this store like all the rest, I have no complaints and would love to go back!

Shopping at Trader Joes is a completely different experience than shopping at Ralph’s or Pavillions. The staff are so freaking friendly at this location, the prices are lower, and they don’t have only 2 registers open to service an entire store like most grocery stores.

They didn’t have a great soup selection, but this is the most spacious location that I have visited and the checkout line was short. Going to grab lunch here more often from now on.

The place is clean. Lines however move slow. Music and ambience is good.
Prices are high compared to other grocery stores. But it is Beverly Hills.
You do get free stickers if you ask which is awesome. Who doesn’t love stickers?

I go here all the time. Service is excellent. Products are great, and then they discontinue them. I’ll never understand that. Italian chopped salad is gone now?! Not modern enough for ya?!! Next they will stop the Alsace flatbread. Damn you, Trader Joe. Your «Joe’s dark» coffee has me hooked, and yet you still can’t manage to widen those isles with all this new square footage. Your liquid stevia is beyond compare. Your gluten-​free labeling is on point, but please don’t make me beg for a wine box; everybody wants a wine box. Even if someone might only be buying some low-​sodium salami, manchego, a six-​pack of Pilsner, individually-​wrapped organic chicken breasts, a bag of walnuts, liquid stevia, and an Alsace flatbread. We still want a wine box! It gives us that «I must’ve got a good deal because I got a box/​Costco» feeling.
The last criticism I have is the «Charles Shaw» wine. Who is buying this crap?! Please stop. This wine is terrible. Please buy any other wine. They have a decent selection that is not too expensive.

Bigger than the Pico location. Nice staff. I wish they had more veggie meat selection though.
Trader Joe’s Dijon mustard is the best.
I usually do a trifecta of Westwood’s Target, Ralph’s and Trader Joe’s. Parking is surprisingly easy to find considering is a UCLA college town.
The movie theaters in the area are classic and large but I digress.

Such a great TJ’s! This one is constantly stocked, and if you can’t find something you’re looking for, there’s always a worker nearby. This one is especially great for ensuring you don’t stand in the checkout line longer than a minute or so by opening up more registers.
They’re also really great with the kiddos, always offering stickers and smiles. I never feel bad that my kids are dancing around to the (amazing) music as they always comment on how great they are.
It’s always the light at the end of my dark work day tunnel knowing I’ll be hitting up this TJ’s at the end of the day.

This is my fave TJ in WLA. I’ve never had any issues with the parking (there is always a spot) and I get in/​out quickly. Every single
employee there is top-​notch, friendly, efficient, and helpful. Their Argentine shrimp and the Sriracha bacon jerky are the tastiest!

This is the closets TJ’s to my work and it’s a good’un! There’s free parking in the neighborhood, but also in their parking garage (free for the 1^st hour with validation). It’s a big location that never feels crowded, and of course there are always crew members available for help. Definitely a fan!

Obsessed with this Trader Joes location… I come here at least 4 times a week. Not only is the staff super accommodating but they’re all super sweet and always say hello. You know you’re a regular here when almost the entire staff knows who you are lol. They always have the freshest products and a great sample section. They’re always stocking up on new products and making sure that if anything is missing off the shelves, they fill it right back up! I’ve been to many trader joes locations, but this one is my home base. Parking is easily accessible, but sometimes it gets a bit crowded around 3−5pm so try to avoid those hours if you’re not in the mood for an annoying parking experience. But overall, this place is awesome and is my favorite go-​to!

This trader joe’s is the best trader joe’s in the area, and this review is so overdue because I want to keep this one all to myself as long as I can. This is the newest one in the area so its clean and not very crowded. Though it does get crowded after work hours, so I experienced. Therefore, I will not go between the hours of 5 to 7pm on weekdays because that little parking lot underground can be a mad house because people get very impatient and it can be very dangerous!
The produce, fruits, eggs and meats are always fresh. Everything is very neatly stacked on the shelves and the ambience is very inviting and maybe this is why everyone is so polite in this store, both customers and employees!
I’ve been to the ones in WeHo and the valley, btw, I think those that live in those areas actually travel all the way here because this store is so pleasant that I think coming to this store can actually make you live a few years longer! lol.
You do get validation for 1 hour parking and you do have to get in an elevator to get to the store. The cashier lines always flow fast and the employees are very attentive. BTW, the bathroom is always very clean too!
Going to any trader joe’s has always been a good experience, however this one gives me an awesome experience, everytime! I am so glad that Trader Joe’s opened this store 3 years ago because BH residence now have a trader joe’s close by! Thank you Trader Joe’s!

I love this trader Joe’s. In close proximity to my home with free parking upon validation. Reasonable prices and they have almost everything you would want from a grocery stores. Fresh fruit and nuts! Nuts here are really good. They also have tasteful, pungent as well as milder types of cheese and I always like to try something new. There are some seasonal types of cheese as well that makes it interesting and fun!
The whole store is so inviting, it has a positive vibe. I like to come here and shop daily due to the pleasant feeling I get in here.
Overall, I love it here!

All Trader Joes are pretty much the same and I love TJ’s for their offerings and their prices
I am thankful for their location next to Beverly Hills
What I do NOT like here is the parking. It is a pain in the A!!!

My intent was pure.
His was too.
Just doing his job, the security guard who with a smile wagged his finger as he stopped me from photographing a bag of shaved Brussels sprouts.
Just doing my unpaid job, giving my monthly 1,000+ food letter readers a keep-​the-​mandoline-​in-​the-​pantry-​shortcut for this month’s recipe.
How could he know that? Wouldn’t listen when I tried to explain.
Or, that since the recession I’ve been promoting Trader Joe’s in said letter’s «Gasoline or Groceries®» column?
Or, that in 2013, 56.3% of my food dollars spent were at Trader Joe’s?
With $ 8 billion in 2010 sales (latest data I found), Trader Joe’s certainly doesn’t need any help from me, my measly column or my food dollars.
