“Shout out to Chase. It was clear he genuinely cared about helping our family and making sure we were fully taken care of. Service like that is rare, and I appreciate how he went above and beyond.”
“It's my go to grocery store. I love that they have several choices for pre-made 1 person meals & they have appropriate portions of packaged produce for a single person so I don't get more than i can use in a few days.”
“They are a great quick stop spot for on sale fresh produce and snacks. The older location was better but this new store is more clean and less crowded. They often have Korean potato noodles on sale.”
“2026-03-26, evening time at the store!
Eric! You made my day finding sth for my niece. We came from another side of the world and found the great surprise from you. We all really appreciated it. We all felt very good with your deed and kindness. This will always make us smile. You're the most valuable asset of Trader Joe's. You only one were able to make all four of us very happy. If we get back to San Diago again, we'll definitely come to see you at the store. Wishing you all the best!
Still smiling!!!!!”
“Lots of fun shopping at Tokyo Central & Main on Convoy Street! So many fun things for sale: appliances, cooking supplies, toys, gundam, Pokémon, hello kitty, tomogotchi, cosmetics and more. Can spend forever looking through everything. Friendly and helpful staff. Recommend!”
“Love the snack selections. I love chocolate and this place has such a healthy selection of chocolate snacks to choose from its diabolical I always end up buying more than I need!”
“My favorite Trader Joe’s. I always find what I need and it’s not crowded on Sunday evenings.
Update: I went on Sunday Morning right after they opened on 3/1/26- The store was organized, stalked, and clean. I had a fruitful conversation with (my receipt reads S, Randy)It set the tone for a great day.”
“I really love the layout of the store, very inviting. The pretzel bread sample was delicious! I especially loved the sign in the back that says that your store gives the leftover food to the food banks, that's awesome!! I'll be back for sure. Thank you!!”
“★★★★★
Great market with an excellent selection of beer and wine. Everything is always clean, organized, and easy to find. Frank and Joseph are especially awesome—always friendly, helpful, and ready with great recommendations. Definitely one of my favorite spots—highly recommended!”
“Absolutely love this grocery store! They have a great selection of fresh produce and unique snacks. Plus, the staff is always so cheerful—it makes shopping way more fun!”
“Nice little shop in South Park with a good mission and selection. All my purchases were good but the star were the little fall flavored treat balls (visited early November). They were so delicious and will definitely be on my little treat list.”
“Got everything that I needed. Layout was great. Staff was helpful, but this location is really busy (can't necessarily help that, and I went at 5pm when everyone is getting off work)”
“I really want to acknowledge the phenomenal captain of this store, Matt. Never had someone so helpful and friendly! I really appreciate his knowledge and input & and that of another employee’s whose name I didn’t catch, especially when it comes to sunscreen (lol).
Food wise: my family has always relied on trader joe’s; I think their combo of frozens + fresh makes it really easy for the average shopper to put together some quick and tasty meals! Faves of mine personally: green thai curry (frozen) and mediterranean salad mix (fresh).
In general, this story is always clean and well stocked, which is impressive considering the amount of college kids coming from the nearby university. Something on a much smaller level is that I recognize a lot of the employees here. This may not seem like a big deal to many shoppers, but I really appreciate seeing the same routine friendly faces. All the employees have historically done a fabulous job handling the chaos from limited edition drops! This is been my home store for a couple years and I’m very sad to be leaving it.”

“The best liquor store in the area in my opinion , good prices and no hidden fees everything is displayed on the screen. Great selection of bottles including whiskey and tequila. The gentlemen who works over the counter is very professional and kind. Positively coming back.”
“i came here in my search for fresh wide rice noodles and was so happy to find such a great variety. they also have a great “chay” vegetarian frozen section with every kind of mock meat you would need, fried spring rolls, sticky rice desserts, etc.”
“My go-to destination for Peerless 100% Arabica Coffee beans in San Diego. They carry a wide selection of Peerless varieties, plus Illy cappuccino and espresso cups.”
“Jimbo's is awesome and the employees are excellent and super nice!! The scones are the best I have ever had, I literally drive 20 minutes each way to just get their scones. I highly recommend Jimbo's and the scones, totally worth it!!”
“I’ve been here so many times it’s an awesome experience to enter the store it really stands out compared to the other competitors like food for less or el super grocery markets. The waters or aka AGUAS FRESCAS are a delicious delicacy that is handcrafted by workers who have mastered the michoacana flavors. The pizzeria is placed just right infront of the store and along with an enthusiastic and welcoming pizza girl that greets you with a “Welcome to Manolos would you like a SAMPLE” so as soon as you walk in you already know your going to walk around with a free yes FREE sample of there delicious pizza. Feel welcome to experience San Diego’s finest farmers market.”
“Great fresh produce and plants. Nice add ons. Everything from Julian bakeries (bread and pies) and to local artisans (everything from jarred roasted bell peppers to homemade hummus, jams and sauces). They have it all at reasonable prices in a sikple, weather proof environment. The ultimate indoor, always open when convenient, farmers market. Love them!”
“Always go to get some groceries, the customer service team is always there to help out when you need something you can’t find. Big open space for seasonal items and sushi is always fresh! They serve musubi’s now!! (Rice balls that have filling inside).”
“I’ve been shopping at Grocery Outlet Point Loma for years. They consistently have an excellent selection of organic produce, quality meats, and occasional hard-to-find items like New Zealand lamb. The red wine selection is surprisingly good, and there’s a gentleman there who is always helpful with recommendations and questions.
I always check the first couple aisles for practical kitchen gadgets and usually leave with a few greeting cards for the year ahead. Fair prices, friendly staff, and a well-run store. Hard to ask for much more than that.”
“Amazing food. First off sandwiches I eat every bite leaving no crumbs. When I got braces I switched to the soups and a mildy toasted roll and my stomach didnt suffer at all. I am really going to miss this place being on my route for work. Rome is so kind she puts all the love in their food.”
“Clean market. I dont shop here but I come for here for the house made tortillas and it's worth the drive. Moved away for a few years and was disappointed to hear that Pancho Villa market had shut down but thanks to AI i was informed the mini tortilla factory still lives on with a healthier version now.”
“Great Market! I live nearby. They have fresh produce, alcohol, groceries, cigarettes, and the most random stuff. It’s amazing how they have anything you can imagine you need!”
“Speacialty produce was nice. It was freezing in there and i wasnt dressed appropriately. They had a sign that read 'Welcome to Siberia'. I bought a few varieties of heirloom tomatoes..and that was the best part of my day. The bathroom was basic but clean.”
“The market has the perfect amount of items- everything that you need (ok and a little more). Love that it’s Italian product focused. The whole chicken was so delicious for a great price.”
“Barons Market is one of my favorite grocery stores. The store is always clean, well-organized, and stocked with fresh produce and high-quality products. The staff are friendly, helpful, and make shopping a pleasant experience. I also love the unique selection of local and specialty items. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great quality and excellent customer service!”
“Good organic foods, membership required so it's better for locals, has some hard to find items and staples. Staff is nice.
Pricing on the most recent visit was unclear on tomatoes and we got a moldy garlic, but this isn't typical.”

“It's worth a trip if you like delicious Carne Asada and adobada. They prep the meat really well and it taste delicious. We seriously drive here just for the meat. I wish I could tell you more about the store, but the carniceria/butcher shop is always our target, and it's always a win. Try it.”
“Trader Joe’s Carmel Mountain Rd… Amazing and friendly. After a long day it’s actually quite fun to go in and shop for dinner. Hello Spanish Rice and that Garlic spread! Time savers and fun recipes! Nom Nom!”
