The people who work at this trader Joe's are just amazing! And fun! The only downside to this place is that the parking lot is congested and relatively small, and the spaces are packed in there tightly. But I didn't want to take a star off because the store is so wonderful!

Has gorgeous and fresh flowers all the time! I almost always go in for a few items and leave with several totesful! I especially like their produce selection and its freshness. They often have items I don't find elsewhere. I could write a long list of my favorites, but I'll only add here the excellent selection of nuts and legumes, assorted candies and crackers not seen other places, fresh breads, pasta varieties and sauces. I love Trader Joe's!!!

I usually shop at the 4 corners Safeway because it is convenient, my grocery lists are very average and boring, and it (the Safeway at 4 corners) is a genuine neighborhood grocery. A few times a year, however, I venture down the road (it’s only an extra 2 miles or so from the Safeway) to this Trader Joe’s. For 6 years running (I am local only since 2017) there are MOSTLY the same familiar people on staff. Corporate culture aside (that is, I do not know if what I am about to describe is typical for other TJs), the staff is attentive, helpful, and in good humor. Occasionally, products are moved to new locations on the floor, and more than once I have been approached by staff with “are you looking for the [this]? It’s over there, now. I’ll get it for you…” That is, before I ask (and the staff is highly approachable, mind you), it is clear that the staff are sufficiently in tune with the store dynamics that they anticipate the obstacles and forestall customer confusion. The front parking lot is terrible, so I have learned to travel past it and go BEHIND the building, all the way around to the side lot, where parking is uncomplicated. The entrance to the shopping center is terrible, as well (and the exit, if you are traveling home southbound), but this cont be helped. Know this: when you enter, there will be a cramped, cranky line of cars hoping to exit rapidly, so take care to keep your turns tight and in-lane. And when you exit, similarly so, and perhaps be generous with your patience and gentle with your driving, to improve the experience for the group…dig it? It’s a great store.

OMG!! It was my first time at Trader Joe’s today and when I tell you … I felt wealthy shopping in there lol. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the prices were affordable! It’s my new grocery store, I love it there. Whoever the manager is may God bless you, you can tell the place is well managed and the staff well trained.

(Friday, June 4, 2021 ~ 3:45pm) The food is always good, but the selection has gone down tremendously. Some of my favorite items are no longer available at the store. That's disappointing however I was able to get my go to items. So I am very happy with that. Customer Service is always great as well.

OUTSTANDING!!!
