Trader Joe’s

Great prices on awesome products! I have to flip a coin on whether to shop here or at whole foods, since they are right next to each other. Some of the stuff tastes bland to me, but that’s just my personal opinion. I definitely have my favorite items that I buy regularly. Recommended!

This store is so easy to get in, get your stuff, taste something new and healthy along the way, and get out of in a few minutes. It has great produce, salads, and economically priced products in their own brand. Love things like the broccoli florets to grab, and a number of easy to cook things to feed others. My company thinks I’m a great cook, when I heated up a bag of stuff from Trader Joe’s. I never go to the big supermarket mazes of a Safeway or Fry’s. Why? Trader Joe’s has everything I need.

I’ve been a huge fan of TJ’s for about 18 years. My only complaint is that there isn’t more of them! This location is closest to me and it’s about 10 miles away, so I probably only go a couple times a month. It’s right by Whole Paycheck and Penzey’s Spices. They offer quite a few Gluten Free items that I like, including the GF cupcakes that are reasonably priced at 4 for $ 3.99. Always moist and delicious. Plus the wine selection is pretty decent. They had a wine tasting a few months ago that turned me onto a nifty little red wine called Tribunal. It’s become my favorite wine and it’s only $ 10, makes a great gift and I’ve turned a few friends on to it. The Hatch Green Chile salsa is one of my favorite things to buy here. You can use it as plain old salsa, but it’s great in any New Mexican type dish or recipe. Also the Gluten Free chocolate chip cookies are a MUST when I visit. Even non GF eaters think these cookies are the bomb. And they are. What else is there to say about Trader Joe’s?

Like every Trader Joe’s, always an adventure shopping here. Just wish they had more stores back East and particularly close to us. Rumor has it one is being located in Memphis so that will give us some relief.
Just stopped in to buy some nuts and snacks for a road trip from Phoenix to San Francisco and back to Las Vegas. Great selection and great employees as well.

I only gave it 4**** because of the parking. Its a accident waiting to back into. I like this TJs its bigger than the one I normally go to on Frankloyd wright. Better selection of everything and the wine section is bigger. Or seems to be.

This is hands down my favorite store. It’s priced appropriate for healthy & fresh food and the service is the best there is. Also, to the sweet employee who bought my flowers for me & said «pretty girls deserve pretty flowers» you made my week. Thank you for passing on your kindness. I will pay it forward and pass on the love like you do! Also, I’ll be back to get your name and make sure you’re recognized for providing the best service in the biz. Thanks Trader Joes!

Nicest people! Great TJs. I love this place
The best produce and amazing prices.
I am so thankful to have so many of these close to me!

I love Trader Joe’s and this one is practically walking distance to my house so it’s great. I’m giving 5 stars bc I am a big fan and I’m here multiple times a week, usually. But I do have to rant about something that goes on at ALL locations… In an already cramped and overpopulated space, is it really necessary for all the (inconsiderate) parents to give each one of their children their very own shopping cart complete with an entire tomato to push around and feel important? Would love to see Trader Joe’s discontinue the ‘small people’ shopping carts (at least at prime time hours/​days) as they only cause traffic jams and annoyance from your loyal customers. Just a thought. :-)

This location, by far, has the most friendliest associates around. (Despite being smack dab in the middle of some stuffy and rude PV-​dwellers). They are always smiling and chatting folks up just enough to make you feel welcome and appreciated.
The ONLY issue I have is that sometimes they run out of my favorite staples. That never happened when I used to frequent the Town & Country location. And it is the reason for 4 out of 5 stars.

Love this store. It is a weekly ritual for us to do our shopping and try something new so TJs definitely helps us with that. They are fast and friendly and provide a great experience each visit.

Since I changed to 100% plant based eating TJ’s still fits the bill for great priced quality options. They even have a list of vegan foods that you can ask for to save you time while shopping. Of course many items are marked with the «V» to let you know what is vegan. Right now my favorites are the falafel wraps, soy yogurts and soy creamy ice cream. The staff is always friendly and helpful and when they see me with the list they offer to help me find the items listed.

Where have I been? All this time I’ve been spending $$$$$$ at costco thinking I’m getting a great deal, when I never considered Trader Joes! I went in last week, loaded up my cart and thought that between all the organic items (organic butter!?) and other delicious foods I was looking at a $ 150 bill. I was rather blown away when it totaled less than $ 75! The layout was super easy and efficient, and all the staff were friendly and happy. I have found my new spot to pick up all my family’s tasty needs!

Great place to get some unique items or the basics all at good prices. We usually only get a few specific things here, but are always pleased. I love the «loosy» beer section.

Great location. A little smaller than most but its the perfect location for me.
Very clean, well organized store with an extremely friendly staff just like most Trader Joes. Any time I have question about a product or need a suggestion (even if its a recipe suggestion.) The staff is always extremely helpful and seem to have a «this is the best day ever!» Attitude… Everyday.
The only downfall of this location is the parking situation… ALWAYS hectic.
All in all great location.

I am a fan of Trader Joe’s in general, but this location is my favorite amongst those that I frequent.
Parking: I’m always concerned I won’t find a spot, but I always do. They have a lot of shady parking spaces. In Phoenix, that earns at least a star, right there!
Staff: friendly, efficient and not too weird.
Cleanliness of store: clean and organized. I haven’t been to any TJ’s that weren’t.
Product selection/​prices: good to great. Of course, there are things you just can’t get at TJ’s but the stuff you CAN get is high quality. Grass fed NY strip steaks for 10.99/lb??? GET OUT!
Biggest criticism is that sometimes the fruit is nasty! I’ve wasted money on inedible pints of figs, etc. It’s hit or miss, though, some stuff is very good. I just don’t concentrate my produce buying in TJ’s.
The biggest reason this is my favorite location is that it is not as cut-​throat as the one on FLW Blvd. The Scottsdale Ladies up there are friggin’ ruthless and make shopping a very unpleasant experience at times. Not TJ’s fault at all, just a characteristic of that location.

My abject disdain for Trader Joes continues and if not for the wife, I would not have stopped.
This place is a lie.
It portends to be healthy and organic, but the shelves are lined with processed sugar pulp. Cookies, marshmallows and the occasional guilt assuaging (yuk) seaweed crisps.
Trader Joes, I’d ask you to shut your pie hole, but it’s too full of, well, pies.

I wouldn’t normally shop at Trader Joe’s because the higher prices scare me, but I had a $ 25 gift card as a thank you from a pet sitting client. This TJ was easy to find, located on the Northwest corner of Shea and Tatum, but parking was insane. Car were stopped in the middle of the lot waiting for other cars to exit their parking spot, blocking all through traffic. So annoying!
I shopped around for things I wouldn’t normally buy at those higher prices and ended up with a container of 70 gummy multivitamins for nearly the same price I normally buy 150 at Target. I also got a guacamole dip mix ingredients in a cute little mesh bag, a bag of artichokes, and some multigrain nut bars. The store was clean, but that’s to be expected in a grocery store.
I had to wait in my car for cars to park and pass before I could get out of my parking space and the lot. I don’ know how frequent shoppers put up with the poor parking situation. I know I wouldn’t.

What can I say about trader joes that hasnt been said before, its great and this review is more so for all trader joes of the world that equally rock faces. And by rock faces I dont mean that in the UFC way where you will get injured or injure other customers in the store because thats rude and completely ridiculous but it rocks your face with deliciousness. Its hard to find something I dont like at trader joes and at some times I’m like hey this is over priced then I buy wine thats fantastic and half the cost or a regular label at a normal store like Albertsons of which i truly hate. I hate Albertons, im sorry they are terrible, that is all.

It’s a typical Trader Joes — lots of interesting food and lousy parking. But what’s really interesting is its location. This TJ’s is located in the same parking lot as a Whole Foods and across the street from the fanciest Fry’s Marketplace in town. If you can’t find the organic or healthy food you want in one of these stores, it may not exist.
My only question is, does Trader Joe’s purposely pick locations with the worst parking ever? I’ve never found a TJ’s with good parking.

Some more favorites to share:
While THEIR crab cakes may not do it for me, I’ve invented my own using supplies from Trader Joe’s: in the refrigerator section they sell a 1 lb. can of all claw crab meat for about $ 8! I mix this with ½ c. panko break crumbs, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons Trader Joe’s Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce and a couple shakes of louisiana hot sauce. It makes about 5 fairly large crab cakes which I pan fry in olive oil for about 4 minutes per side. Now, THAT’s a crab cake!
Another favorite concoction, thanks to Trader Joe’s is their light champagne vinaigrette, black mission figs, crumbled goat cheese tossed with sliced red onion, arugula and a cut up apple — it’s an AWESOME salad!
Dessert? Trader Joe’s dark chocolate bar caramel with black sea salt — F’n A! There are NO words!
