“It’s so hard to leave Trader Joe’s without some kind of junk food / snack. This location is pretty packed regardless of time of day / day of week but that’s probably because it’s a great branch. Staff are always helpful and despite it being so packed, all our favorites are still stocked or in the back. The best part is that the parking lot is huge, so that’s never a problem. I feel like most Trader Joe’s have a parking problem because they pick the smallest plazas.”
“Not only was this a great Trader Joe’s but this one actually had a few cold bottles of wine and beer. Maybe some states have laws that prevent this but all Trader Joe’s that can do this NEED to!”
“Fatima Bazaar has become my go-to for catering, especially for gatherings where I want to impress. Specializing in authentic Egyptian and Mediterranean cuisine, this restaurant consistently delivers high-quality dishes that captivate every guest. I typically order their mixed grill for events, and it’s always a highlight. The hawawshi is perfectly seasoned, the mombar is a delightful delicacy, and the beef kabab is tender and full of flavor.
What truly sets Fatima Bazaar apart is their reliability. They ensure timely delivery and thoughtfully provide hot containers, keeping every dish fresh and ready to enjoy. Their prices are quite reasonable, particularly given the unique, halal offerings that showcase traditional flavors. For anyone seeking a memorable culinary experience at their next event, I highly recommend Fatima Bazaar’s catering services. They truly elevate any gathering with their exceptional food and professional service.”
“Nice bustling Trader Joe's. Everything seems to be fresh stocked. I often buy more than I go in for because there is a great selection of real food. You don't have to worry about trans fats and artificial anything here. Everything is all natural very good quality and decent prices.”

“I shop Ava's as much as possible since I can walk there and I am so grateful to have a downtown market. They have specialty items like grass fed meats (grass fed lamb is locally raised as opposed to imported from Australia like at Whole Foods), raw milk , goat ice cream. Juan will do what he can to stock specific items that I need. There are two restaurants inside the store.”
“The best place to go for fresh vegetables. Come in the morning when it isn't very busy. Make sure to eat quickly as some of the vegetables spoil quickly. Inexpensive. Once you tried this place you will avoid grocery stores' vegetable offerings.”
“What a fabulous store this is. The food is fresh. The meals that are put together by Trader Joe’s are reasonably priced and delicious and the staff is outstanding.”
“Good mercado with ample selection of fruits and vegetables. The standout is the butcher which has various cuts of meat that you can't find at Safeway, like diezmillo and arrachera”
“We love Trader Joe's
Here is a piece of advice, if you see something you like, but your "on the fence" buy it !!!
Some of their stuff is seasonal and will be gone, the next time you visit.
One item "Coconut Amino" is a frequent item but Trader Joe's was out of it for about 3 months. ?
They have some good seasonal Coffee selections that are tasty !!!”
“I go into trader Joe's stores all the time.And they're always the same.The best people, the best selection, really?The best price for what you get, just overall an awesome store.No matter where it's at it's always the same all the good stuff”
“This TJs is the best one I've been to. It is very spacious on the inside and easy to get around without feeling crowded. They have a lot of clerks, which makes check out quickly. Beautiful flowers also ? ”
“Really fresh fruit & vegetables.
Limited wine & cheese. You can also get breakfast items and chicken & meat too. Fresh selection a french bread & rolls and treats from Palo Alto Bakery ??”
“Just like other Trader Joe's. They have good stuff but not necessarily everything you need. Good produce, ok bread, good selection of frozen food, dried fruits and nuts etc.”
“Ordered catering for 45 people party at a park.
Ordering with Lupe was a breeze and she had a ton of super helpful suggestions with regard to ordering the right amount of food and making sure guests had a good dining experience with variety.
Food was delivered exactly as expected and right on time. Guests loved the food and there was perfectly enough food leftover for a couple people to take home a light snack for later. They included all the serving utensils we needed.
Garlic bread tray: super popular, disappeared instantly
Fettuccini Alfredo: Tasty but the form factor of noodles makes it harder to serve even with tongs. Recommend getting a different noodle like penne (Lupe suggested this but I didn't listen haha)
Ravioli: Instantly devoured
Grilled Panini: generous with meat! they were thoughtful and cut the sandwiches into thirds so people could try multiple sandwich flavors and they were easy to pickup.
Garden Salad: Was good but people were more interested in the other foods that they didn't save too much room for this
Grilled Vegetables: Really good, perfectly seasoned and was unexpectedly cleared out quickly.
Was a great experience and I would order again.”

“I find it odd that I'm reviewing a little market, but this place is fantastic. Went here because whole foods was closed and I needed to pick up beers for a get together. Didn't expect much, but wow the craft beer selection fantastic and a super friendly owner. I love whole foods, but I probably won't be going to whole foods anymore for beers.”
“I always find good deals, from fruits to my veggies here. Along with many local vendors you may find on social media. I recommended the crazy cheesecake stands. So many different cheesecakes made fresh, now he sells these very flavorful lemonade as well worth every penny. The fresh barkey with large size pastries I always get a new one I haven't tries. Along with fresh breads and other fresh baked goods.”
“Pizza's always great. It takes me back when my dad would take me when I was a little girl. Love all the pictures. In the year of 1965 where the old house of pizza was.”
“The fresh baked/cooked foods are incredible! Fresh and flavorful, the market itself is not just warm from the ovens, the people here make you feel like family. Always pick up my Labne from here!”
“I was pleasantly surprised at this nice little mktplace I discovered in a shopping center next to Dollar Tree, Sprouts, Burlington and 5Below. Their prices r low and quality is high! I paid a lot more for name brand cough meds at Target - the savngs would have been almost 5$ if I had gotten it here and even more savings from cost at CVS! I like the veggies fruit and grocery section a lot!”
“This review is for the staff member that saw me browsing watermelons and offered to help yesterday : you're awesome. Just tried it and it's one of the best watermelons I've ever had. I'm terrible at choosing them so thank you so much :D”
“My go-to grocery store. I like the open layout and focus on fresh produce and good food. I often get the lunch sushi special on Wednesdays.
The employees are helpful and kind.”
“A very nice little store. Always fresh food and baked goods. Various greens.The staff speaks several languages: in addition to English, Mexican and Russian. Very comfortably.I recommend!”
“Super great store to go grocery shopping. Unique and interesting items. Plus way cheaper than walmart and sometimes even cheaper than the dollar store depending on what the product is. great location and always lots of extra parking. Actually have nothing bad to say about this place or the stuff to really good grocery outlet.”
“The food here was really really good and authentic. The portions were very generous so you'll definitely have leftovers. My wife got the al pastor plate and I got carne asada nachos.
The meat was really nicely cooked and had a lot of flavor. They also have a pretty big menu so there is lots of great food to choose from.
The restaurant is inside a Hispanic store and has seating both inside and outside”
“Always good produce. I love the abundance of organic products. It's very clean. They have lots of take away choices for food. Folks that work there are usually pretty friendly. It is pricey, but it is what it is.”

“Parminder is very helpful and keep store clean and clear.Always have stocks and make sure customer feel comfortable.It’s my daily to go store and I would recommend it to everyone.”
“An interesting store with products from Poland, Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, possibly other countries. The assortment is quite large. You can find there: various cereals, rolls, teas, coffee, cookies, dried goods, waffles, candies (for Easter there were even Easter cakes), cakes, milk (sour cream, cottage cheese, butter, cheeses and curd cheeses), there are frozen pancakes and dumplings , sausages, fish (mackerel, herring, etc.), caviar (red, black), cooking (salads, soups, borscht) and much more. There is also a department with spices, cosmetics, books (which I really liked, but the prices for books are too high), and a small first aid kit.The store is expensive in terms of price, but overall not bad. The only thing that spoiled the mood was the expired products. Pay attention not only to the date, but also to the condition of the product itself. For example, we came across cottage cheese that can be consumed until September 24, 2024, but it was moldy inside.”
“Called for essential groceries and sundries. A well stocked facility with plenty of choice and quality.
We shopped an odd time of day and found no delays or difficulties with service. Excellent bagging help provided and a gratuity is customary.”
“I'll give it 4 stars, I've always gone there but today I checked my receipt and it turns out that they made me buy a plastic bag which I always carry with me, I don't buy it from the store, that's why they should control the cashiers, that's not correct for us as customers. We trust what they charge us and it turns out that they charge more”
“This is a tiny convenience store hidden in the Alviso neighborhood, selling liquor, snacks and beverages, and groceries. I rarely come here, since each time I have in the past for basic stuff, like bread, they don't have such items. But not a big deal cuz they came through when I least expected it. I had gone to several lotto retailers with no luck, prior to my visit here on Monday. I was looking for some rare (monster themed) scratchers which are selling on ebay for three times more than what they're worth. Lo and behold, I found them here at the Marina Neighborhood Market which would be my last stop on my way home before giving up. I was ecstatic! Plus the staff got me to laugh with his playful comments seeing how excited I was about these tickets. They're probably not even winners, lol. But that's okay, I hit the jackpot just finding them here, so close to home when I had been searching far and wide.”
