“The Gelson’s wine bar is a micro culture of awesome conversations and fun people. I’m also a fan of the bakery as they rotate various decadent desserts that once should experience over a glass of champagne inches away from the counter. Also as a special shout out! I must Gelson’s is lucky to have a person as fun as Claudia. She is my favorite cashier and always makes my day brighter.”
“Shopping here has cut my grocery bill in half compared to pavilions. The vegetables are farmers market quality and so fresh. You cannot beat the cheese selection. Staff so friendly. Parking on Gower is free if the lot is crowded. I made an amazing soup with all ingredients from here including free range chicken and my family raved about it for a week.”
“This place is amazing! My sister recommended it to me as I’ve been making a conscious effort to be more mindful about food packaging—and to reduce exposure to microplastics that so many foods come in. The service was truly exceptional. I was greeted by Ximena, who was incredibly helpful and provided outstanding customer service. I highly recommend this location and will definitely be back to shop. Thank you so much, Ximena! 🫶”
“Such an awesome store. Clean and well organized. Nice selection of items. I like how I can refill my own small jars without having to buy a big bag. People working there are always nice and they also sell some fresh produce and amazing sourdough bread!”
“Such a fun and easy way to reduce your environmental footprint with zero plastics. Plus their lineup of everyday essentials gets better every time we visit. Not to mention the friendliest folks there to help you out. We love Re!!”
“Such a cool little shop! They carry so many unique vegan products I’ve never seen anywhere else. Definitely worth stopping by! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-26”
“Huge shoutout to Rachel and Victor at the customer service desk! I came in needing help with a donation order, and they were both incredibly kind, helpful, and professional. They heard the complication I had and went above and beyond to fix the problem in a fast way. I was really impressed with their customer service — highly recommend this Trader Joe’s!”
“This review has definitely been a long time coming ? Burn 60 has been such an amazing addition to my routine. Before joining, I was consistent with my workouts — mostly spin — but I knew I needed to incorporate strength training and do more than just cardio. Working out has always been an outlet for me to release stress. Since coming here, I feel so much more balanced. I still get the stress relief I’ve always relied on, but I also feel stronger, more energized, and more consistent than ever. The classes are challenging in the best way and have really helped me build strength and endurance — I never thought I’d say this, but pull-ups have become one of my favorite exercises. What really makes this place special, though, is the people. The coaches and members create such a welcoming and supportive environment. There’s a real sense of community and belonging that makes you actually look forward to showing up. It never feels intimidating — just positive and encouraging. It’s become such a meaningful part of my routine and honestly one of the highlights of my week. I’m really grateful to have found this place. If you’ve been thinking about trying it, I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot. It’s a supportive, high-energy environment that meets you where you’re at — and keeps you coming back.”
“I just wanted to congratulate the winner that purchased that winning ticket from this store. Congratulations to you both and may god bless you since your dream have come true. Spend it wisely and help out the poor if you can. God bless”
“What's an absolutely incredible place went here a few times and unfortunately it's going to be closing in the next few months. It's very sad to hear the news that they will no longer be here.”
“Love, love, love Trader Joe's! This store has everything! And a lot of different, unique items that you don't find anywhere else! And its all reasonable priced! And all of their employees seemed to be chosen by their level of friendliness!”
“Trader Joe's, West Los Angeles on Olympic. Quick and easy shopping and check out. Great selection of cookies, nuts, wine, sodas, meat and fish. Chips of all sorts. Good prices. Nice parking, easy street access, right next door to Ralph's making it possible to do price comparisons on the spot.”
“Happy Easter ?! Trader Joe's is on the best behavior!!! I bought lovely salty and fruit snacks today. Grabbed some wonderful ? lemon scones to be in Easter ? spirits. Ummmm Thai yellow curry potato chips!! Run rn! And get some!.”
“This markets meats,produce,dairy products and seafood are fresh way above any other market chains thier foods are non gmo and organic but cheap for the poor customers who can't afford to buy these products without paying high prices. I don't know how and don't care how this market obtain such good food at a cheap price but I'm a loyal customer.”
“We ordered a standing rib roast and Juan cut the meat from the bone and made it so easy to cook and serve. It was an amazing piece of meat and our guests raved about it.”
“Not a great choice but it had a bit of everything. Great fresh produce. The staff were lovely and very helpful, really useful when in a different country!”
“Some of the best homemade pickles I’ve ever had. The crunch is superb and that taste is always perfection. Been a long time customer and have even shipped some of their online shelf stable pickles to friends and fellow pickle lovers. My favorites are the spicy garlic spears, low heat but delicious flavor. The jalapeno pickles are my favorite. These are refrigerator pickles so not mushy or sealed in a jar, just fresh crunchy pickles. It’s hard to not drink the brine as well. So good. Some wacky flavors as well, the honey mustard are not tangy like most pickles but if you bring them to a bbq or put them on a burger so chicken salad sandwich you’ll be the hit of the party! Can’t rave enough about this wonderful business.”
“When it comes to bread, this is the only place I’d ever choose to shop, as they offer an incredible variety that’s hard to find anywhere else. From freshly baked loaves with perfectly crisp crusts to soft, fluffy rolls and unique specialty breads, every visit feels like discovering something new and delicious.”
“Hey yall ? so I was on the hunt for these scooby snacks my friend's brother told me about that he got from trader Joe's up north. So I head to traders Joe's on Sepulveda store #33 and as I'm looking for them I can't find them because i dont know the name or have picture. But i gave her a brief description ans she says lets find them. We looked but was unsuccessful but she says wait we going to find them. And she recruits Ms.Veronica..so we all look off the description i gave but none was on the floor. Then Ms.Veronica says I believe another customer asked about these let me go to the back and see what I can locate. Did i mention they are seasonal So a few minutes or so passed and then them doors swung open and he comes Ms Veronica with a box of the scooby snacks i been tastings allday long at work. You get a bag, you get a bag and you get a bag ???? You know Ms.Stacy could have been like nah we don't have any or no I don't know what you talking about. But nah she did brush me off or rush..she saw it to the end. I'm am not a regular trader Joe shopper, but after this filled adventure mini savagery hunt with EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DETAILED ENGAGEMENT I AM NOT. Thank you management at store #33 for crew member like Stacy and Veronica they are the super dope. Yall definitely need more like them. And shout out to Catilian (sp) (I didn't have my glasses on) who hopped on the register and gave me a speedy checkout. Me and my coworkers at southern california hospital ? are going to enjoy our scooby snacks ???? Sincerely MaiMai PepsiPrincess”
“I love Trader Joe's. It doesn't sell everything--but what it does sell is usually great. The store is physically small, so it can get crowded. The parking lot outside is a nightmare.”
“Was so excited to learn this local family owned business uses Stumptown beans for their coffee drinks. They make their lattes with love at an unbelievably low price and they offer a wide selection of milk options. Their deli sandwiches look delicious and pastry case is solid. The staff is amazingly real, upbeat and friendly. Love the comfy, low-key, unpretentious atmosphere. A real gem in Venice. Will be a regular.”
“It’s a bit slower compared to other places, but that actually makes for a more relaxed shopping experience. The staff are very friendly as well — highly recommended.”
“Blessings to the checkout person who uses my preferred pronouns without me having to say a word. Every Trader Joe's employee deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. This location is small but the staff are efficient and mighty.”
“You can never go wrong going to Trader Joe’s WeHo! You’ll get the best customer service attitude from their cashiers or any staff here, super friendly and helpful. Thank you for your excellent service guys!??”
“Love coming here. They're always stocked for the most part. The only disadvantage is the people outside asking for changing. I don't oppose giving sometimes some of them are harassing clients. Theres parking validation for 2 hours. The bathrooms are clean. This location is my favorite because it's convenient. Their vegan cookies are delicious.”
“Want a quick delicious sammich?! THIS is the spot in this neighborhood. Delicious, quick,easy, friendly spot! Great spot to get a sandwich for a concert or on your way to work.”
“Trader Joe’s is always a great experience—clean, well-organized, and full of unique, high-quality products at great prices. Friendly staff and fun seasonal finds make it a favorite.”
“I love Trader Joe's and they've opened another one across the street from the one I love in Sherman Oaks!! I prefer the smaller one, bc its easy to get in and put of, but it's a positive boom for the people who will live above it! I always look forward to their seasonal offerings around the holidays! My favorite and less expensive place to shop! Just left there with quite a number of dinners for our family that are healthy and great quality! Love these guys and gals they go out of their way to help everyone even in the parking lot!”
“This spot says they have the best sandwiches in town. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. Everything is made to order and They let me try their popular rays way sando. It had A crispity crunchy yet pillowy chewy bread, a TON of lightly smokey umami savory tender quality pastrami, cheesy Swiss cheese, nutty fresh lettuce, mild cucumbery crunchy pickles and like a mayoy sauce. Yall know I’m not a mayo girly but in this sando it actually worked. Things can get a bit heavy and rich cuz of all that meat which I guess is a good thing. But Overall this place is lowkey pretty good $17.99”
“What a beautiful beverage selection! The store attendant was very nice and pointed me to a sweet red wine to pair with my dinner. The store has fun party packs like the ones you see on TikTok and some unique snacks and convenience store items. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely visit again when we are in the area!”
Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country.
