“Fits the TJ's model of having an aggressively small and cramped parking lot, otherwise it's a great location. The parking lot was recently made to be one-way, which has greatly increased the usability of the lot. Tough at times to exit the lot onto Arroyo due to traffic.”
“Trader Joe’s is the best grocery store, hands down. Everything is so unique, affordable, and actually good quality. You can always find fun new items along with all your staples, and somehow everything just hits. This specific location is especially clean, and everyone is so friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s one of those places you go in for a few things and leave with a cart full, in the best way.”
“I must admit I love TJ’s - I wish they had a all natural i e cream similar to Turkey Hill black Band around he perimeter of the lid- I can now only find this at fresh market . So my only suggestion is to create the product it’s about 6.50 for a half gallon or whatever that size is. Thank you”
“So many specialty items! From all over the world. And the staff are all lovely, maybe especially the folks at the deli, who work swiftly and slice the meat perfectly thin. Very happy to have stumbled upon this place.”
“Went the day before Thanksgiving to buy a tomahawk steak but they were sold out. One of the butchers there recommended cowboy cut instead. He explained the different grade of beef and we ended up buying prime cuts at $27.99/lb. It was pricey but definitely worth the price as it was buttery soft and a big hit at our Thanksgiving dinner.”
“My mom and brother shop there every Saturday. All the employees our amazing. My mom was sick early in the year. She was diagnosed with cancer. I live in vegas and came down. My mom was excited to be able to shop there today. Alex bought her flowers and let her ring the bell 🔔 it meant the whole world to our family. Every week my brother shops there they always ask how my mom is doing. Really appreciate them for there thoughtfulness!! Awesome employees!”
“The marinated chicken wings are some of the best I have ever gotten. Definitely recommend this place for marinated chicken wings. The rest of the market offers a good variety of Armenia, Russian and middle eastern food items but the prices are little on the pricey side compared to other similar markets. Over if you need a specialty food item local to this area it’s a good place.”
“The basturma is fabulous and the service is good. Not much else to say. We worry about who will take over the business, quality, and tradition/s once Garo and his wife retire.”
“First time going there. I was really surprised. The prices were pretty reasonable. The quality of the foods was great. The store was really clean and shelves were well stocked. I'm definitely going back.”

“I highly recommend this dairy. It’s my go-to stop for snacks before work, especially before a late shift. The team here is absolutely amazing—they feel like family. They are always so welcoming, polite, and helpful, greeting everyone with a beautiful smile. Plus, they love my puppy, which means the world to me! Truly great people and a wonderful part of the neighborhood.”
“Ralph's Pharmacy exceeded my expectations! Not only did they have my prescription ready in record time, but their customer service was exceptional. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a seamless experience. I highly recommend Ralph's Pharmacy to anyone in need of efficient and caring pharmacy services.”
“I was craving some Turkish delights candy, and found this place on Yelp and bookmarked it. Since I was in Pasadena running errands, I decided to make a stop by here. The shop is small, but charming! Brightly lit with lots of yummy products lined up on the walls and throughout the shop: Dried fruits, roasted nuts, seasonings, buckets of nuts and what I call Turkish delights, but it's called Mediterranean Delights here. I was hoping for the pretty, extravagant ones I saw on the Yelp pictures, but they only had some pre packaged ones in bins. I like that they're in a sealed wrap so they last longer. There are a lot of packaged snack items that would make great gifts. Since I am nuts for nuts, I had to give these roasted treats behind the counter a try. The proprietor there was super friendly and let me try some pistachios before I bought them. There were so many flavor options I had trouble narrowing down what I wanted. I settled on lemon pistachios and sesame peanuts in addition to a few of the Mediterranean delights. The nuts are flavorful and tasted fresh and crunchy. The candies were pretty good also. All the loose items are sold by the pound and prices are pretty reasonable. Highly recommend this shop if you're looking for some fun flavored snacks!”

“It is a good stop and with front row parking. A straight forward transaction. A vast selection of spirits to start up a party in no time. If I am around the corner vising this is one of my pit stops to grab everything for the party. Prices? Who cares it is convenient. Cashier has Plexiglas all around the counter. Wear a mask to enter is encouraged.”
“Thank you to the owner, Dipak, at Latin American Market for participating in our community project to reduce underage drinking! Some of our students are very thankful as well, this is our student Diana: "Thank you to the store owner of Latin American Market for letting Project Sticker Shock inform minors and adults that under age drinking is bad.Thank You, for letting Project Sticker Shock spread a message about under age drinking. "”
“What a cute little shop of great eats, snacks, and sundry! Funny, it was my 1st time encountering the word "sundry". I had to look it up and get its meaning... sundry means "many things of different kinds". Makes sense as I see a variety of miscellaneous items in the shop such as ramen noodles, over the counter medicines, greeting cards, etc.Tower Snacks & Sundry is located at the bottom floor of the Pasadena Towers. It was recommended to me by my coworker who is a regular customer. Thank you my friend! The owner is a very nice and kind lady. She runs the shop on her own. Whenever I am here with other customers, she keeps up with the pace of service quite well. Thank you!I come to find out that the warm and beautiful layout and display of the menu was the wonderful work of my friend who happens to be the same person who recommended this great place. He is very kind and giving of his time and efforts in making a difference. Thank you my friend for making it easy for us to order! I know the owner appreciates your generosity of your time and efforts and wonderful creative art. I know I do.Let's talk about the great eats... you can get breakfast sandwiches or burritos (my favorite has potatoes in it and ask for salsa to be added without an additional charge... thanks to my friend for his good tip), bagels, oatmeal, french toast (this one is yummy!), etc. Lunch offers salads such as Chicken Caesar, Chef, or Oriental, sandwiches like roast beef, pastrami, club with turkey and bacon (my favorite... so big and tasty!), ham egg & cheese (love it!), tuna melt (surprisingly very good!), grilled chicken wrap (my least preferred item, but you may like it), and more. As for beverages, there are coffee, tea, and smoothies. I love the Three Berry smoothie! I get it every time. I usually get the smaller size. They do have the larger size... just ask for it. The Strawberry & Banana and Mango smoothies could be better... they need more fruit flavors in them IMHO. You can still try them... they may suit your taste buds better.I have become a regular customer since Day 1. I have tried almost all the breastfast and lunch items. There are a few items I have yet to try... I will eventually get to them... you know I will LOL. Everything I have tried have been delicious and tasty. Portions are good. Although I wish the breakfast sandwich could be bigger. Credit card service charge of $0.75 will apply if you spend under $10.00. Cash is best unless you're spending more than $10.00 like myself. There are tables and chairs outside for dining.I love supporting local businesses so I will continue to support Tower Snacks & Sundry when I'm in the Pasadena area. By the way, they are open on weekdays only... closed on the weekends. If you're in the neighborhood, drop on by and check them out. They would love to see you and welcome your patronage. I'll see you here! Happy Snack'ing & Sundry'ing!!!”
“Went there to get pollo asado to grill. Couldn't have asked for a better marinated chicken. The staff was very friendly, the market was clean, and the prices were great. I highly recommend this place. Thank you.”

“I used to come here when it was owned by an old couple. Everything was so outdated back then but they were very nice to me when I stopped by. I was told they sold the store and the store is now being remodeled. The store is so much bigger and is completely transformed into more modern look.
The taco shop is still there thank god! They have tasty soups here so it’s always a plus!
This store has the best price on beers & liquor in town and have a great selection.”
“Hi , i have driven by alot , in last few years , but never stopped by , til i finally did on wedsnesday. I wanted some pork chops. They have great prices !!! Will definitely be going back. I did have a little incident ( but come to find out ) i was wrong !!! So went today to apoligize to the worker at the register. Ps. it was reg. an item i thought i was charged for , but wasn't in the bag. Anyway , ended up being the same price as the Guatamalen coffee i had bought , both were 8.00 !!! So i got confused , when i saw that , becuz it does not spell out , certain items on the receipt. But i went to apologize to her and gave her little giftcard i had ( 2 ) :) when she first saw me again , i knew she was annoyed thinking i was there to complain , but i told her , no , wanted to apoligize in person. :) Also this bakery is directly across the street , has lots of mexican pastries , cookies , conchas , few sandwiches and Cafe de Olla too”
“Highly recommend! The prices were reasonable, which is incredible for a convenience store. The service was friendly and helpful too. She even noticed one of the bananas I chose was bad and replaced it. Small store with alot of different snacks and drinks.”
“GREAT LOCAL GROCERIES!
Zack works here and he has great customer skills; he goes above and beyond for the local community. This place is my go to for fresh produce and some localized food you can’t find anywhere else!”
“Great grocery store! The products are always fresh, and the prices are very reasonable. They have a good variety of items, and the quality is excellent for the price. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!”
“Ralph's Pharmacy exceeded my expectations! Not only did they have my prescription ready in record time, but their customer service was exceptional. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a seamless experience. One of my medications was out of stock at their location, but the pharmacist took the initiative to locate it from another Ralph's Pharmacy, saving me valuable time and inconvenience. I highly recommend Ralph's Pharmacy to anyone in need of efficient and caring pharmacy services.”
“A very classical Smart & Final store with lots of wholesale sized goods at competitive prices.
The fresh food and veg department is larger and somewhat more plentiful than one expects in a smaller Smart & Final store.”
“The team at this location is awesome! There was an error with my online order and unfortunately the store never actually received it. Nannette was so kind and quickly rounded up my order. She helped me pick replacements for anything they were out of. She handled it really well and was so kind and friendly. I’ll definitely be returning!”
“I’m so happy. The employees are so kind, friendly, and helpful. I’ve been craving turon and other snacks from my childhood and it’s so good to have them all in one shop. They even have walis ting-ting, and walis tambo! But the prized turons were my favorite! How did they get the bananas so damn jammy and good? Will come back again!”
