Trader Joe’s

Love this store! I Drive down the hill from Heritage Ranch to Shop here. They have great produce and wonderful meat selection. They also have all sorts of different types of food and their prices are reasonable. BUT most importantly the people are so nice and so friendly and willing to help, I love that!

Friendly staff. Good selection. Clean, well stocked. All of the things you expect from a Trader Joes experience, including a packed, small parking lot.
I wish it were larger. You will definitely run into a neighbor here.
May i suggest you try something NEW. Their products never disappoint. I do wonder why they have so much chocolate.

Can’t go wrong with Trader Joes.

TJ’s in this location is wonderful even though the parking lot is itty bitty unless you drive a Vespa or a Smart Car.
Store is consistently clean & well-​stocked. Staffers are always friendly & seem to be happy employees. Great products & fair prices.

I love trader joes… but I’m so used to them carrying alcohol everywhere else… I wonder why not here? I really love the lemon vodka they carry… when I’m not battling the atrocious designed parking lot I love it. plus the meat store next door is Sooo worth hitting 2 in 1.

This is the most spacious, clean, and beautiful TJ’s I’ve ever been to — very friendly help at the sample counter, great prices on the pre-​made food, and as always, an excellent selection of wine. There are also picnic tables set on a wooden deck, if you’re looking for a relaxed place to eat lunch during a day of wine tasting. Great folks working here; I wish I lived closer!

Ok. I LOVE T-Joe’s! I honestly haven’t been to a grocery store since I moved up to the central coast. Prices are fair and the employees are very friendly. I get recommendations every time I’m in and walk out, usually, with what I needed and some new snacks. My favorite right now is the Jalapeño Greek Yogurt Dip. Talk about yum!!! It’s good on veggies, chips, as a sandwich spread, and anything else you can think of. The store is always clean and employees are always ready to help.

I’ve been to two other Trader Joe’s in the Bay Area and I have to say that this is surprisingly my favorite. It’s definitely the largest one I’ve ever been to. Or at the very least, it has more space in it to give the appearance of being large.
The employees are helpful in every sense of the word. I think I might have actually hit the jackpot with employees who actually like their job. If not, you are all fantastic actors. Here’s an Oscar! Seriously though, whenever I needed anything they were there. Prompt, friendly, attentive. I don’t need an employee to be constantly smiling in order to deem it as ‘great service’. Promptness is underrated and completely appreciated in my book. I’ll take that over a smile any day.
The quality of the products here and the price are pretty unique compared to other branches I’ve been to. The price is cheaper on a few products and the quality is definitely more fresh. Plus, you’ll always find your favorite item stocked. Especially in the salad section which can sometimes be lacking the most in that department. Everything is always nicely arranged and selling itself to the customer.
I will definitely be coming back. 4 stars for service and quality. I nicked a star for the parking lot which isn’t necessarily TJ’s fault, but it does ruin the experience of TJ’s before you even get the store. Believe me, Trader Joe’s is an experience.

I don’t usually review grocery stores, but I couldn’t resist a shout-​out to this wonderful place. I visit my local Trader Joe’s in Seattle at least once a week, and I was willing to drive the 35 minutes from my vacation rental in Cambria just to pick up some TJ’s food to stock the fridge. The selection included all my usual favorites, and, equally important, the employees were a delight. I especially loved chatting with Rachel, who is a «crazy bird lady» like me. Both of us are parrot «parents.» I don’t know how TJ’s does it, but they always hire the coolest people! They work hard, but they always take time to be helpful and friendly.
The store was immaculate, the prices reasonable, and there’s a decent selection of organic foods — good for parrots! Oh, and I didn’t consider parking to be a problem at all.

I love that trader joes moved her a few years ago rather than going to San Luis. Tjs is the best store to shop for fresh and unique produce, and you of course can’t forget about the tasting they do with the food of the day. I recommend shopping here. But let me tell you don’t bring a trailer because the parking lot is ridiculous. So small, and crammed especially that there’s 3 other places for the same parking lot. Still don’t mind shopping here though.

So the store itself get a 4 to 5 star rating based on easy access off the freeway and their selection. This is the only location that’s near Paso Robles. I was able to pick up several premade salads. My favorite so far is their Cobb Salad. It’s just the right size to fill me up, but not to the point where I feel stuffed. I also really like their organic carrot juice. My only suggestion is to buy the larger container, as it is a much better deal.
The reason I am giving this location 3 stars is because of their bagging person. I showed up in my military uniform because I have just gotten off work. She was very indifferent to me when I came up, differently than she treated other customers. She bagged all the food that I have purchased, but left out a beverage on the side. I asked her politely to please bag the beverage as well, and that is when she scoffed at me. She had to rebag in order to fit the beverage in the paper bag. I think that if she had asked me from the get go whether or not I wanted the beverage bagged, that would have avoided the situation altogether of rebagging… or she could have placed it in a seperate bag instead of overstuffing the one paper bag. I just didnt’ appreciate her attitude from the minute I walked up, and I am sure it had to do with me wearing the uniform.

I love this store!!! The produce is always super fresh and the customer service is top notch. The lines are always short as they actually care about their customers and keep multiple check stands open. The employees seem to actually enjoy their jobs and appreciate their clientele. The samples they provide always give me great ideas for what to cook and their prices are reasonable. I wish their parking lot was a little bigger to navigate, but you can’t have it all!

It’s Trade Joe’s. The selection is great and always well stocked.
The parking lot is terrible as is the overall location. However, its worth the chaos of navigating the parking lot.

The Gorilla says:
«Great cheese selection,
Many organic options,
All at good prices!»

Love it

I’m a fan of TJ’s regardless, but this location boasted especially friendly service. Great job, gentlemen!

Do you like fine wine, cheese, bread, crackers, fish, meat and just about everything else tasty and wonderful? That’s wonderful, because we do too! After years of having to make the trek over the grade down to San Luis to patronize Trader Joe’s, finally the North County has a little bit of grocery heaven to call its own.
In short order, the best parts of Trader Joe’s are:
+ Fantastic selection of local and imported wines, and at reasonable prices
+ Cheese, cheese and more cheese, if you like cheese, you MUST visit this store
+ Free samples every weekend of new treats
+ Well-​trained and friendly employees who actually like working there
+ Lines move quickly, as the cashiers don’t mess around
The only negative thing I have to say about Trader Joe’s is that they have the worst parking lot ever. I docked them a star for making people almost (and sometimes) have to park in a dirt ditch beside to the store. Seriously, they had to know that such a busy store would need more spaces. Anyways, shop here during the week and avoid some of the asphalt mayhem. You won’t regret it.

I have been a big fan of trader joe’s for decades! The always have wonderful products that taste great and are priced right! I love to go to the wine aisle and get a case of inexpensive wine, take them home, have a wine tasting with friends, then buy a couple of case of the stuff we like! It is a great party and a lot of fun! And trader Joe’s is the place to stock up! — I really like their chocolate products and the yellow curry too, and the nuts, and the … you get the idea

Where the hell are we? And why on Earth did my brother and his family move here? Ok, so there’s a winery or five, so that’s a perk. But really? What could have ever possessed them to settle down… oh … wait… is that what I think it is?
That’s right… Trader Joe’s. In a town of under 5,000 people. And might I add, a very spacious, fully stocked, exceptionally friendly outlet at that. The parking sucks, (as it seems to at every TJs around the country) but considering you’re only beating out the 20 other people per square mile out here, you’ll be sorted with your spiced cider, 2 buck Chuck, blue tortilla chips and organic granola in no time.
It was beyond me how on Earth this relatively tiny outpost of a rare California village was blessed with the godsend of organic glory… then I checked out the demographics: «As of the census[2], there were 4,687 people. The racial makeup of the CDP was 90.36% White…» Need I go on? If so, please read this:

I sooo love this store! You can totally get out of there with 2 or 3 full bags for $ 40! I always stop there to get a gift card for my daughter when I go to visit her in LA.
I am always inspired to eat healthy when I walk out of there and promise myself that I will be back sooner than I usually am!
The only think I don’t like is the way that people shop there! If I go at a time when it is busy… I am not sure if it is the lay out of the store or just reeeally rude people shop there but the last time I was there… people just seemed to always be parked right where I was trying to go! One lady was on her cell and just blocked the whole aisle… A lot of people looked annoyed… I can’t take away stars from a place that just has clueless customers! But maybe it is just because it is a smaller store with more customers.
I have yet to find a time when it is not busy.
Guess…
It’s busy all the time because it is just an awesome store and all of the employees are very helpful as well!
The only thing I don’t like… is their california roll. Sushi is a hard one for me when it is not fresh from a sushi chef and this is no exception! It was gross… hard rice… after taste… etc. worse than great sushi in a doggy bag the next day!
