Trader Joe’s

To the dingbat lady in the black Escalade the size of a tractor trailer who waited FIVE minutes blocking up the entrance just so she could wait for the space closest to the store (and the Post Rd. you know lady it’s a major road with 4 freaking busy lanes) to free up when there were TWENTY+ free spaces a matter of feet away. YOU ARE AN IDIOT.
You almost caused major accidents, you backed up traffic on the Post Road and didn’t move even though I was blaring my (overused in Westport) horn at you. At this point TJ’s, you really need to put a sign up so these SELFISH drivers might get a clue. But then again, they are so selfish they really don’t care. What is it? ‘Oh no, I can’t walk more than 3 feet with precious Muffy and Buffy”?
So I finally discovered a back entrance and exit to this shopping center lot. Use that. I love TJ’s and all but not worth getting T-​boned or rear-​ended pulling in to the main lot.
Karma to the Escalade lady. Karma.
Oh yeah, it’s almost the new year. New me. Namaste.

Who doesn’t love TJ’s?!? Love shopping here– almost everything of what we need is here and it doesn’t hurt that their products are organic and reasonably priced. Plus, this location was renovated recently and plenty of parking.

Staff is friendly, love the prices, free food samples, spaciousness, cleanliness, etc. I love it here! Only place I go for groceries. Love!!!

Once again a wonderful trader joes experience.
With two young kids it’s very hard to go grocery shopping. By trader joes always makes it easy. Friendly service and going the extra mile — rare in today’s shopping experience.
Today I was helped by Trudi — so friendly! She offered my daughter stickers and answered any questions I asked — even thought there was a line! You never feel like your are a problem here — they are always efficient and helpful. Tibi (I may have gotten the name wrong) then helped me to the care and loaded my groceries for me!
Not only is the quality of food better here with a lower price point than I’ve seen anywhere else, the service is also incredible. Trifecta!
Thanks again TJs!

Go-​to spot for healthy pre-​made options for packing a lunch for work. Decent number of vegan options. Helpful staff too. Some have been here for years; nice to say hello to a familiar face.
I’m docking one star for the precarious parking lot, but that is really due to the local traffic. Easy does it, Westport!

Staff is very friendly. I can honesty say when you walk in that the staff genuinely like being there. Very helpful and a big fan of trader joes

I love Trader Joe’s! I really enjoy the shopping experience, without the extra costs that Stew Leonard’s has in store.
Unfortunately TJ’s is not a «one stop shop», as I will typically still need to pick up my meats and cold cuts elsewhere. Oh well, if that wasn’t the case, i’d probably do everything in one place. i need this store to be just a little bit bigger!
The last time we went we got awesome tofurkey sausage with basil and sun dried tomatoes ($ 3!) which I really really enjoyed!
Much better deals and higher quality than you would find at a standard Stop & Shop or Shop Rite.

Of course five stars. I love Trader Joes. Too bad they don’t offer wine in the CT locations though. Newly expanded parking lot makes getting in and out much easier.

Fully stocked with fresh items. The staff is extremely nice and lines move quickly. My go-​to.
Better deal and quality than Stop & Shop.

This is a very good Trader Joe’s location. It is right off the Post Road close to downtown Westport, CT. I recently stopped here late on a Friday at 8:40pm and they were running low on stock but staff were working hard to replenish the shelves. They have an extensive flower section and a good selection of fresh baked breads as well as the typical great frozen food items TJ’s is renowned for.

I love Trader Joes, they really make an effort to find out what customers want in cutting edge products that lean toward the «green» side which I think is terrific! The staff is amazing and the music is usually rocking! I have to restrain myself from dancing down the isles most of the time.

for a TJs it is pretty average, but it is busy and stuff seems to fly off the shelves here. It isnt a large store and the setup is a bit strange, but the few times i have gone in they have had the things i was looking for. parking lot is pretty horrible, but that is mostly due to the people parking here not the actual lot.
I can’t remember. what was this, Hermans World of Sports?

Trader Joe’s is my favorite as a chain, but this location is ridiculously small with a horrible parking lot. But I’ll go back b/​c I love their products and especially their prices.

Love this place! Staff is awesome! Just need a wider range selection of grocery items.

Let me begin by saying that I have always been a fan of Trader Joe’s. The quality and prices are usually great. It was my go-​to market when I lived in Vegas. When I moved to Westport nearly 10 years ago I was thrilled to see one so conveniently located. I was sorely disappointed.
The store is in a word, terrible. The selection is mediocre. Every time I have gone in hoping to see a radical change it hasn’t happened. It’s depressing to even go into the store… I am continually amazed when I see how many people shop there– they either haven’t been to a proper Trader Joe’s or they like markets with minimal to no selection and drab, depressing surroundings.
Fresh Market down the street is by far a much better alternative and comparably priced.

I am a Stew Leonard’s diehard and quickly and easily fell in love with Trader Joes. We even went on a Saturday afternoon! What a treat. Great food, prices, amazing organic product etc.

The folks at Trader Joe’s are a breed apart from your average, sullen, uncaring supermarket worker. When I think about TJ’s I think about a smiling, friendly face who is always there to help me with whatever I need, while at the local Stop & Shop, that MadTV sketch on Bön Qui Qui comes to mind. («Sa-​kurity!») The most magical part of TJ’s is the bell to call their friends to come and help if the lines are getting too long. At the other place, the line just keeps getting longer and no one stops to help, lookin’ at you like the long lines are your problem so deal with it. Every company in America could take a page from TJ’s operating manual. They rock.

This is where my love for TJ’s began. Great selection (best of the best only) and great prices.

Sometimes, I think I am a strange person for not being completely, head over heals in love with Trader Joe’s. Is there a photograph of a studly, sculpted male with broad shoulders and a rock hard six pack that I haven’t found yet in this store that most of my friends rave about? If there is, please, for the love of god, let me in on the secret!!!
Don’t get me wrong, I do like Trader Joe’s quite a bit, despite its borderline claustrophobic feel. It’s great for a party because they have unique frozen appetizers that taste great — like the Trader Ming Gyoza and Gyoza dipping sauce. And, they do have a great selection of cheeses, nuts, chips and healthier junk food items. Tuscan white bean dip and peanut butter filled pretzels are my favorites… of course, not together. The prices seem reasonable. But, I could never shop here for a week’s worth of groceries, mainly because the produce selection isn’t fantastic. Give me my perfect world of free reign daily grocery shopping excursions, and I would definitely add Trader Joe’s in, but it’s just not the perfect grocery store for me.
