Trader Joe’s

I used to love coming to this place until one day I tripped over a basket that shouldn’t have been there next to the cashier. The workers there were so kind and helped me with my bruise I got after I hit my head. At first they said they would take care of my medical bills if I needed to see a doctor but then I got a call from corporate and denied all my claims. Why would they do this? I’ve always been a loyal customer and now I’m getting headaches and yet management told me to get a lawyer. I guess this is how they treat their customers. What a shame.

This is a neighborhood store with easy shopping convenience, friendly staff, and validated parking. My only complaint is that it needs more selection of products like fruits, canned goods, and prepared salads. I give it five stars as I shop there often.

By far the shiniest trader joes ever! Simple: they never have ANYTHING IN STOCK. And when you ask the manager they always tell you to go to the la cienega location. Oh and parking is terrible at rush hours.

I just saw a trader joes employee walk a guy to his car covering the customer and his little toddler son with an umbrella as he himself got soaked. He waited with the customer while he put his kid in the rear child seat. Now that’s the difference that makes the difference. Way to go TJ’s ! Super high 5

Love trader joes. They have so many fun and yummy foods. There are so many healthy options and have really good frozen foods that are healthy.

Good variety of fresh flowers, friendly staff, and items generally in stock. Parking can sometimes be a challenge, but I still don’t feel like this lot is nearly as bad as most Trader Joe lots. Plus the parking attendant is so sweet, it takes away the pain.

I just had to go out of my way to say that the parking attendant at this trader joes is literally an angel from heaven and brightens my day or evening every time I see him. It’s insane how much his genuine kindness and warmth brightens my day. WHO IS HE?! I’m his #1 fan.

Excellent TJs with a friendly, helpful staff, great selection and free parking. People complain about the small lot, but I’ve never had a problem finding a space, even on the weekends. The layout changes more frequently then I might like — where’s the coffee now? — but that’s a small quibble. Oh, and Charo shops there (!), and Angelyne, too (!).
If you live in the neighborhood, this is the TJs to go to. Yes, the new one at La Cienega and Wilshire is larger but the staff is harried, dismissive and seemingly inexperienced. Stick with the one on Santa Monica.

I’m the person that doesn’t love Trader Joe’s. There… you’ve found her.
Really, I’ve walked into several of these stores and just left — buying nothing. I don’t get the hysteria these places elicit.
But this one isn’t awful. At least, on a weekday afternoon before 5. There’s a smallish parking lot (you need to get your ticket validated — we forgot but were only in the store for 10 minutes so the attendant nicely gave us a pass). The store is sort of oddly pie shaped, which doesn’t really make the traffic flow any better I suspect, but it’s an interesting idea.
They have the usual stuff. It’s not a particularly large location but you’ll find enough organic frozen quiches or sea salt baked pita chips to keep you happy — and the requisite cheap wine selection.
Our check out guy was very friendly and talkative — didn’t even give us a speech when we sheepishly admitted we had forgotten to bring in our own grocery bags.
So this wasn’t a terrible experience. I do think given the location (downtown WeHo), this could be an absolute madhouse on the weekends. But if you MUST, this place is clean and staffed with friendly, helpful people.

This location is conveniently located off Santa Monica Blvd in WeHo. I love that they have parking which definitely takes some stress out of going to the store. Once you are inside it is an extremely well maintained store. The sales associates are always asking if they can help you and if you ask for help they personally take you where you need to go. I like Trader Joe’s in general and this location has everything I like about Trader Joe’s.

Traders is awesome. This location is awesome. It feels more like a «community» here than at other traders.

TJ’s… you’re like a second home to me, but because really, I’m here nearly everyday.
They have FREE 1-​hour parking and the smiliest parking attendant who will sometimes even sneak little handmade notes of life advice with your parking ticket.
I’m a huge fan of TJ’s. There’s just too much to love: mushroom truffle flatbread pizza, mac n’ cheese balls, prepared salads, milk chocolate jumbles, cowboy bark, inexpensive organic greens, seasonal fruits and veggies, SAMPLES, wholesome dog food for my pup… I could go on and on. Make sure not to skip the new arrivals shelf either!
The wine/​beer section is a must, there’s so many options that are so affordable! I just discovered that they even actually allow you to pluck beers from any six-​pack and create your own sampler pack.
The only downside is that some items like the berries and fruits do tend to spoil more quickly than your traditional supermarket. I haven’t had much of a problem with this since I stop by so often. I live down the street from this location so I buy in small doses and walk over to restock regularly. I have gotten to know all of the wonderful employees here. They’re extremely helpful, pleasant and always have great recommendations for new products.

Parking has not been a problem for me. Validate for free one-​hour parking. Who spends more than one hour shopping at Trader Joes?
The set-​up of the store has good flow and wide aisles. It seems huge compared to other Trader Joe’s.
I have never had trouble with items being in stock, except on the typical Sunday night/​Monday time frame.
It has all the same great items of other Trader Joe’s.
Stop on in!

The store itself is fine, but the staff was unfriendly and unprofessional. When I was there an older lady dropped a bottle of wine when giving her items to the cashier. The lady was very calm and apologetic, and the employees were shockingly rude. They told the lady to move out of the way so they can clean up the mess. After the lady finished her purchase and left the store, the employees were talking about her loud enough for others to hear, saying things such as, «I saw that coming,» and «…then she tried walking over the mess to go grab another bottle,» and they were giggling. It was rude and unprofessional to see employees talking about their customers in such a way.
I love Trader Joe’s, but unfortunately my first experience at this location was really not good.

While this is not my favorite Trader Joe’s location, it still has the same fantastic products.
Parking is a bit of a pain, its gets super full both in and outside.
They often run out of stock, not quite as tidy as other locations.
The staff is still fantastic, and I love their products, I don’t think I have ever bought anything I didn’t enjoy.
They rotate and add new products every month or two which makes it fun to stop by and see what is is season or what did they come up with now.
Often have samples which makes my son excited to come with me when I shop here.
Prices are fair, quality excellent, love Trader Joe’s!

This Trader Joe’s is an astounding anomaly.
It has all of that Trader Joe’s greatness that we all love, and I’ve been to quite a few locations in my day. However, this TJs has an expansive, spacious layout. It feels like there is an abundance of wonderful space, so much that you can feel comfortable getting a full-​size shopping cart and pushing it down an aisle. It also has a real PARKING structure with free validation, and the spaces are large enough for modern vehicles that have been manufactured post-​1950. The lot is designed to keep the flow of traffic moving easily… No TJs crew members directing traffic or frustrated customers sitting in their cars, waiting for spaces longer than they are actually inside of the store.
It’s amazing and you’ll have to see it to believe it. But it exists. Other than that, I don’t need to tell you much… everything we love about Trader Joe’s is there. I love the rainbow, sequined «Weho» wall art on the large, main wall, and how the store personalizes its décor for each location.
But seriously… parking and shopping carts, I couldn’t believe what I beheld. Best location ever!

Im always pretty amazed when I check out. A HUGE shopping cart worth of organic foods, wine, and beauty stuff fora little over $ 100! How it that possible?
I alternate between Whole Foods and Trader’s because both have something the other doesn’t that I need. But Trader’s is always much cheaper on pretty much everything!
I love their prices on shampoo, facial wipes, and the vitamins! Seriously cheap! I get all of my fish oil here because it’s only around $ 8. My shampoo is about $ 3 and it’s so great! It’s all natural and has tea tree oil and peppermint which makes your scalp feel amazing!
I honestly think the produce at whole foods tastes a bit better, but I get many things here that I can’t find there.
This is the only location I shop at, the parking is great and they validate. It’s never too busy on the days I go (usually Sunday late mornings while everyone’s brunching it up)!

This location is very convenient for me since its directly across from the 24hr fitness. Their wraps and salad are great items for times when you’re hungry and want something quick. Also very tasty. Staff are very friendly here. Parking is validated for 1 hour at the register, if you park in their lot.

I only shop here during my lunchtime. So I think I come in at a perfect time. Parking is not an issue and I can comfortably walk around with my cart without having to bump into anyone.
I have to say their set up is a little weird. Then again, I feel like all Trader Joe’s set up is off. The fruits and veggies are split up between 3 parts of the store. Overall, the cashier’s are always friendly and I get in and out very quickly. When I am shopping during my lunchtime, that is all that matters.
Oh, don’t forget to validate your parking!

Whenever we’re in Los Angeles, this location is our «go-to“spot because it’s conveniently located to our home-​away-​from-​home and has a fairly large inventory. We like marketing for Niman Ranch meats, fresh produce and cheeses here. TJ offers products for most dietary or nutritional needs.
Since we don’t have a Trader Joe’s in Hawaii, we end up «stocking up» on TJ-​branded edible goodies (cookies, almond butter and confections) and their French-​milled soaps. Yeah, we’re DEPRIVED! Now, most people can understand picking up edibles for snacking while we’re on the road or to bring back home with us. However, we’ve gotten several odd looks and comments because we’ll often buy at least 12 bars of soap (lemon-​verbena, green tea, lavender and Tea Tree). Friendly cashiers who recognize that we’re visitors have joked with us about really loving to bathe. Ha! We happily tell them we’re not experiencing drought conditions like California.
Oh, while shopping in this friendly market, take a moment to enjoy the music being played. It’s often NOT Muzak «elevator music» but you’ll find more popular and current genres and artists being featured. Looking around, I could see many patrons smiling, singing along and strolling down the aisles with a little «kick» in their steps.
