I'm giving this place 1 star only because I am hoping with enough bad reviews and low ratings, some kind of change will happen. Back in the day it seemed the employees acted like they were part of a family. They were happier, friendlier and getting a job here was so desirable because of things like benefits. The quality slid down a crap covered slide the minute they cut their benefits (heard this from a old employee). I saw it go south soon after that. This was waaaaay before the pandemic so you can't blame the employees acting like they're working in a free clinic in a drug infested neighborhood on that. All of those old employees seem to be gone and now you have a new group who if they could care less, they would be playing bowling games with milk cartons and frozen turkeys. I've worked retail, I get it. Customers can be a pain in the ass especially in a privilege neighborhood like El Ceritto, BUT not all Sneetches have stars (see that Dr. Seuss reference I stuck in there). Some customers just want you to find the lactose free chocolate covered whatever's because we don't work here! Most of us know the inventory changes everyday because that's how the store works BUT (that's two big buts) we also know the reason the employee is on the floor in the middle of the day and not stocking the shelves after closing is because you can help customers at the same time. So, stop giving the normals the attitude when we need help! Not every old lady is a level 5 Karen. 85% of them just want to go home with their chocolate peanut butter mango cereal. I've been to the other Trader Joe's. They're killing it over there! If you hate working here, please quit . This place is hurting you and making you unhelpful, angry or abusive to strangers. If it's a management thing, form a union. Remember, there are a thousand other bad jobs out there that pay more and you may even avoid customers contact. Save yourself and this store's ratings.

I shop here 1 - 2 times per week. Lately, it seems like the employees aren't that happy. Used to be they were engaging at the register and if on the floor (even if stocking) they would go the extra mile if I needed help. Anyone else seeing a change? Gonna go heavy on the kindness so they know they are appreciated and hope to see a change.

Very busy. Visited on a Monday at 2pm and the store was packed. Difficult to move around. Cashier was very kind and courteous.

Trader Joe's is my go to for everything from the .99 greeting cards, flowers, and ingredients for recipes that have gone viral. The staff is always helpful and will allow you to try a product before you buy it

I always thought this place was way too expensive for my blood but recently I have had a complete change of heart and now this is my go to grocery! They have a lot of variety when it comes to produce and it's always been pretty fresh but it's mostly packaged so I have to take it out of the wrapping to better store them but you can't beat their prices and even organic! Their jumbo brown eggs are delicious and about half the price compared to the popular other chain starting with "S". Even on sale, TJ's still has lower prices by a couple of dollars and who doesn't want to save money these days! They have a decent meat and fish section and surprisingly the fish was equally fresh and flavorful for dollars less as well! They had great breads and their own "specialty" items you can't get anywhere else and it's hard to resist not getting them if you have a sweet tooth. Parking can be tricky during peak hours and weekends but I highly recommend this place for some serious $$ savings. The restrooms are cleaned regularly which is always a plus and the staff are very friendly and always willing to help! I'm sold!

A hit and a miss, both pumpkin spice. The tall thin box is iced sandwich cookies. They are very sweet (and I totally do sweet) and do not have much pumpkin spice flavor. The other box on the other hand is seasonal gold. I sat a few on top of the box. If you like Mother's Circus animal cookies and pumpkin spice you will LOVE these. Get them before they are gone.

I have yet to visit a Trader Joes I didn’t like, but this one is definitely one of my favorites. Staff is always so friendly, the shelves are well stocked and if they don’t have something in, they usually have a rough estimate as to when it might be back.Bathrooms in the back left corner near the Kringles and bread.There are often samples as well, which is a really great way to test new products that you might not normally get.

I had my first negative experience here today. It was not with the store itself, but the shopping cart I was using; it worked normally while in the store but when I got out to my car and after I put my grocery bags in the trunk, the cart would not roll any more at all. I believe it was their cart security boundary system but I was within the parking lot, right out front of the store. I had a difficult time getting the cart to an area of the parking lot where it was not blocking any cars as none of the wheels would even roll. I looked like a fool struggling to even get the cart to move across the parking lot.

Very good Trader Joe's. They keep it well stocked, location seems to be well managed, and they have decent parking availability. Also plentiful handicapped parking for those needing it.

4 stars because they keep canceling items that I've grown to LOVE.

I used to be a grocery delivery first kind of guy before coming here more frequently. The 1 mile walk is not bad for a friendly staff and great service. My wife and I are both visually impaired and often use customer assistance when shopping. The staff is very helpful in helping us find all the groceries we need.
