Trader Joe’s

I come here every weekend to fill up on my produce. Love the quality and the price I find to be cheaper than the conventional grocery store. Its also well stocked. I find it best to come here first thing in the morning. There’s is plenty of parking and not too many people. Also the employees always seem happy.

I love this Trader Joe’s! I go there so much that I know all of the clerks!!! (lol) Everything is always fresh, which is the most important thing of all! I always go there to get a filling salad for lunch, I tried all of their salads already! Not expensive and very filling and healthy! Everyone is very friendly! :)

This is the best and my favorite TJ’s. The products are always fresh and neatly organized. This location feels more spacious than the ones in the city and less chaotic. The staff are the friendliest compare to other locations. I even have a favorite cashier now. Their return policy is one of the best in retail. I had to return a shampoo that I ended up being allergic to. I didn’t have the product with me when I asked a manager about returns without a receipt. At first he said I can just bring it back. Great! But even better when he came back a few minutes later and said he can just apply the credit towards my purchase and that I can toss the shampoo. What a great honor system and awesome service!
There are so many good finds at TJ’s. I always look forward to their holiday treats. There’s almost always something different every year. The prices are so reasonable compare to many places these days. Did you know, TJ’s is NON-​GMO!!! Nuff said!

Fun location with a very friendly staff. Will return when I’m in the area. Love that it’s in the Westlake Plaza!

My husband & I were here & we purchase red wine & other things. On our way out, the handles of the paper bag that the red wine was in, broke. All the red wine spilled all over the sidewalk, not to mention got all over the rest of our groceries. I left my husband to run back & try to at least get paper towel or another bag for our ruined groceries. An employee at the front counter listened to me as I explained what happened & offered to let us come back & replace ALL of our stuff for free! I was shocked! I thought MAYBE we would get another bottle, but I anticipated to pay for it again. But no. She insisted to leave the cracked bottle & stained groceries with her to replace all our stuff. THAT’S WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ALL ABOUT. Thank you to this lady. I need to go back there & thank her personally. I’m just thankful someone still knows how to treat customers.

Great store in a suburb that needs quality food access options. Located in a revised strip mall this is a worthwhile addition. Everything you expect in a easy to navigate store layout. Not cramped with easy accessibility. Friendly staff. Just the place for your grocery needs.

One stop shop for meals and snacks
Prices may vary but overall is fin
Best to come in the early morning to grab parking
Friendly help
Bring your own bags
No need to rush
Best day to go is early in the week

I rarerly shop here, but when I do I always find something new and good deals. Another great thing is the products are all environmentally friendly, but the bad side is sometimes they cost a little more and you never heard of the brand name.
I love coming here and seeing bananas for .99 cents and oranges for .59 cents. Although I always end up walking around when I get here and looking for something unusual and delicious .
Today I found frozen Macarons. They even had a fee flavors. I didn’t even know macaroons existed until yesterday, and now I’ve already had Ketsourne and frozen Trader Joe’s Macarons .
They have chocolate, vanilla, Pumpkin Pie and a few others, I purchased the Pumpkin Pie and It was beyond delicious.
They also had great deal on some item like cliff bars for .99 where Safeway has them for $ 1.67
Overall, I do like a bigger selection with name brands that I know but this is place does have good deals and things you never knew existed. I will continue to visit

The Good-​The selection is good. I would suggest TJ invest’s in maybe better meat’s like the one’s that are like Whole Food’s and Lunardi’s a mix would be good. But, there selection is shooty at that. The layout is fine, and etc.
The bad-​The black guy who is whoever, sorry don’t know his name, but he is only one maybe two of these guys that work there are both terrible. The day before X-​mas, I came with my friend and this moron and his other «colleague» were saying, «it’s closed, it’s closed». Like I said, if someone is harassing you before you can even read a sign why say that to them, you can say it like this dummy. «The store is closed for preparation of X-​mas, sorry for the inconvenience and have a great holiday», not «it’s close» 5-​times before we could come to the store and read the sign. I thought the guy was homeless because he seemed drunk or stuck on stupid. Terrible customer service, fire that clown.
The ugly-​The lines, my God. They are always bad, from the nasty old man who is in line, to the crowd of hipsters. This place is great if it wasn’t for the kids that come here along with the people it invites in as well. It also does provoke a sense of Anxiety to have that many people in a store at once. Crazyness.
I feel like i’m writing this like on the episode of «South Park» but, it needed to get done, now i’m done with my novel. Enjoy TJ it’s nice, but, it’s better during the day.

I have mixed feelings about TJs. I LOVE the food options/​prices, but for some reason the stores are always super packed and have super busy/​crowded parking lots. I go here sometimes, but have to plan around busy times (preferably at night time, wish they could extend their hours by just an hour extra).
The love part– I just love some items that I can only get at TJs, so I usually finally make it here when I want enough of those items (and then shop for other items that I want as well). Great value for quality. I go banana crazy when I come here also :)
Update: I have been going when it’s less crowded, so I’ve been loving it more. The customer service is really good at this location– friendly, helpful staff.

Standard TJ’s. Hard to go wrong. Staff is always good and helpful. Parking can be a pain here but that’s because it’s in the middle of a major shopping center. If you can’t find ground parking, there is a huge parking structure behind the shopping center available for customers.

Love this place. They have a great staff and a great selection of wine. The parking is a pain since the shopping center is so busy but I always end up parking far and walking it’s a lot easier than trying to fight for a spot nearby. The frozen food section has pumpkin macarons 12 for $ 5. Which is awesome. I bought a pack of these and a $ 2 bottle of wine and really enjoyed my night.

This message is for the management. Someone needs to talk to Camden about customer service. This guy sucks. He took forever with the customer before me and was very slowly bagging her groceries. FLIRT ON YOUR OWN TIME MAN! Every other line went through 2 – 3 people while you flirted with that one customer! And then when you finally got to my groceries, you start judging me for buying lump crab?! Does your manager know you’re talking smack about the store’s products?! First rule, don’t make your customers feel bad for shopping here. Moron. This was by far the worst experience I’ve had at TJ’s.

Love this TJ. Not as crowded as the Stonestown location and plenty of parking in the shopping center.
They carry almond flour and coconut flour as well as almond milk, which are all staples for me when I come here! I eat a very specific diet so this is the only place I go to find some ingredients.
Recently they have started stocking riced cauliflower too, yum! Best selection of nuts and cheeses ever. Bought a wedge of Camembert here that was breakfast for me over the next 2 weeks. :)

I like how Trader Joe’s is consistent with every store which makes it easy to shop. Parking can be hard here due to it being Westlake. Customer service can be on and off bit I’ve never really had a big problem with it.

I really can’t say enough good things about this TJ’s. First, let me say that I love TJ’s so that does flavor this review. Safeway just doesn’t cut it for the processed crap in all their food and Whole Foods is wayyyy over my budget (and pretentious to boot).
The solution? Trader Joes. Affordable mostly-​healthy food with kickass samples and coffee, custom little drawn signs and adorable quaint atmosphere. Packaging is kept simple and to the point so that you know WHAT you are eating not HOW COOL what you are eating is.
This location is TOPS and I leave SF specifically to come here. The staff are SO friendly and sweet, and I’ve gotten to be friends with some of them just by chatting in the check out lines. They are very disability-​friendly and have their scooter always charged and help you in every way they can.
The only downside I can possibly think about this place is that the breads are not always the most stocked here. I don’t know why, but this is the only location I do struggle to find the bread I like. This has nothing to do with staff but is simply the amount of shipments coming in — so I’d say it falls probably on the district manager to look into this.
oh and I love all the flowers they have to pick from at this location!

It was 3 days before Christmas and I was stocking up on all my seasonal faves here. You know Trader Joe’s is always full of surprises/​new things so I also picked up a Something Something Winter Ale. I really didn’t buy that much yet the girl bagging my stuff asked if I wanted two bags and I laughed it off cause I’m such a pro at holding lots of things (from the bottom if heavy) and not typically dropping them… key word TYPICALLY.
Not even 3 steps out the door some dumb adult woman whose eyes were on her phone bumps into me and as I was deflecting, the first handle ripped off my bag. But before I could finish thinking «Whew! That was clo…» the second handle broke, and it all happened so fast but ultimately 3 of the 6 bottles broke on impact and there was glass, beer, and smellsssss all over the entrance.
I was so embarrassed I almost left it all there like SCREW IT but I really wanted that beer… so I went inside and told them what I did. And do you know what THEY DID? Sent somebody outside to help me clean it up with tons of paper towels. That same somebody then brought me new bags AND a new 6 pack. I felt like such a dumbo, was profusely apologizing, and like it was nothing he said «We just like to make our customers happy». If I wasn’t clutching my new double-​bagged food/​beers with the jaws of life I would have hugged him so hard his badge would’ve popped off.
GREAT customer service.

I love everything about Trader Joes!
I love their food!
I love their prices!
I love how friendly their cashiers are! (People stocking shelves are another story)
I love their free samples!
Parking could be better, but that’s not Trader Joes fault.
But one thing that bothered me on a recent visit is that they had an electric scooter blocking the fire exit near the restrooms. Complete fire hazard and I notified a manager but he didn’t seem to do anything about it. See pics

I can’t believe its taken me so long to venture into this particular Trader Joe’s. Westlake is such a dense area and the parking lot is always swarming with people. But I am glad I took the plunge and waited for a parking space to be able to go to this Trader Joe’s.
The customer service at this location was amazing. My baby spit up banana all over the ground and a worker happily cleaned up her spit up while saying, «No problem! It’s great practice for me one day!»
This is a far cry from the gross Trader Joe’s not too far away at Stonestown Galleria where the stuck up college kids hate their jobs.
Can’t wait to go here again!

You can always count on great customer service at Trader Joe’s!
The lines are never too long nor is the wait for check-​out. The store can get a bit crowded, but I just learned to go early in the morning or before closing.
Parking lot is a pain — but just choose the garage (much easier)
I love their roasted seaweed, wine/​beer choices, fruit and dried chili mangos!
