“Trader Joe’s in Brick Plaza is mamash one of those places that you walk into “for two items,” and somehow you walk out with a tote bag full of snacks you didn’t know existed five minutes ago… and you’re smiling the whole way to the car. ?
First off, the vibe is always upbeat. The staff here is super friendly and on top of it — you can ask where something is and they don’t just point vaguely like “aisle… somewhere.” They’ll actually walk you over, explain what it is, and half the time they’ll hit you with a suggestion like, “If you like that, you’ll love this.” It’s very heimish for a big chain — warm, helpful, and no attitude.
The selection is what makes TJ’s TJ’s: all those signature items that are perfect for quick meals, easy lunches, and last-minute “we need something for the house” situations. Produce is fresh, the frozen section is a lifesaver (weeknight dinners, Shabbos prep shortcuts, you know the matzav), and the snacks are basically a full-time nisayon. Every aisle has something new that makes you stop and think, “Who asked for this?”… and then you buy it anyway. ?
Pricing is also a big plus. You feel like you’re getting good quality without having to take out a mashkon on the house to pay for groceries. And everything is packaged nicely, easy to grab, easy to store — very practical.
Now let’s talk real life: it can get busy, and the parking situation in Brick Plaza can be a little “chasunah traffic” at peak times. But honestly, it’s worth it. Go in with a little patience, maybe daven for a close spot, and once you’re inside you’ll forget the whole thing.
Bottom line: clean store, great energy, consistently good products, and a staff that makes the whole experience pleasant. If you’re stocking up, grabbing a quick dinner, or just coming in for “one snack” (good luck), this Trader Joe’s is a win.”
“So much better prices than ShopRite. I ran in there for Macintosh apples and ended up buying a lot of produce and rye bread for 250 and a bunch of really good cheeses not overpriced. I will be back there.”
“So happy to find this market as I am in TR taking care of family. Very nice people, clean and fast and prices are competitive. If you need a breakfast sandwich it's 5.99 including coffee 8am to 10am. I will be a regular!”
“? Five Stars! A True Gem in Sustainable Living! ?
I can’t say enough good things about this local refillery! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the refreshing scent of clean, eco-friendly living. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sustainability, always ready to help you find exactly what you need.
The selection is top-notch—everything from household cleaners and personal care items to pantry staples and unique local goods, all available in bulk to reduce waste. I especially love that I can bring my own containers and refill only what I need. It feels so impossible to reduce my plastic use but I feel better reusing the containers until I invest/acquire more glass bottles.
This place has truly made sustainable shopping convenient, enjoyable, and impactful. If you’re looking to reduce your environmental footprint without sacrificing quality or customer service, this refillery is an absolute must-visit. I’m so grateful to have such a forward-thinking business in our community!
✨ Support local. Shop smart. Save the planet—one refill at a time! ✨”

“The food was very good and so was the service. The lighting was a little too dark to see some people at the table. One of the meals was a little hard to tell what it was, a label should have been used on some of the food. Pork was hard to tell what it was for example. It was very good though.”
“Best Italian Market in Ocean County. Delicious foods and bakery, amazing deals with their app, and it’s a large clean organized market staffed by great people.”
“It was wonderful, the selection of items and the people were an absolute treat. I recommend stopping by this as they offer many wonderful things to choose from☺️”

“The day I had trying to fill a prescription with a savings card at CVS was so unnecessary. After tons of calls to my insurance, CVS, and the medication company, and even dragging my baby to CVS, I decided to transfer my prescription to ShopRite (transferring even suggested by my insurance) Betsy the pharmacist is amazing!!! She did in 10 minutes what CVS couldn’t do in two days! She was so pleasant to speak with and knows her stuff! Thanks for making my night so much easier Betsy! : )”
“This local Pantry Farm is like a breathe of fresh air. The food at this place is excellent. I've gottan both hot and cold sandwiches from here, salads, tacos. Everything is good. The owner and workers are always so friendly and polite. I love the fact that it's always so clean and they cook your food right in front of you. Not like IN and Go around the corner. Ate there and got sick.”
“It's basically a wawa/quick check with a deli in the back. Good chicken. Good spanish food. You can tell it's good because there is always construction workers eating there for lunch. Go for lottery, your morning coffee, a decent lunch at a decent price. Expect a 10 dollar lunch, but a good 10 dollar lunch.”
“Great all around Syrian food store must try sofie's lahmagene sauce the best they have all the basics like semolina bulgur kibbe meat ready made etc....And also they have grocery items”

“I have been a patient at every large pharmacy in NJ. Even some that no longer exist. This group of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are absolutely the kindest, most helpful, and truly the best I have ever had. They take care of me, answer all questions and are absolutely patients first. So many pharmacies are NOT. Do I wish there was a drive through? Sure. But is it worth giving that up so that I feel 100% safe and confident in the consistent services I know I will receive? Absolutely. If there's ever a shortage of a certain medication, they call me, anything at all and they stop to take time and check on it for me, and they are just so kind to me every time I go there. I absolutely recommend them- especially if you are close to this location. The small town pharmacy feel is what they have. If you are kind to people, they are much more likely to be kind in return. Just a thought...”

“Great store. Great priced items.
The only thing is that lidl is known for their mini shopping carts for kids. My daughter was very disappointed as this specific branch does not have the little carts. So don't make a special trip to this store for your toddler to have fun.”
“My favorite Walmart. Great produce, unlike any other Walmart and Great staff. Management is on hand, which makes a big difference between other Walmarts. Not all Walmarts are the same. Some better than others.”
“While talking to a local man who frequently shops there. Lapalma Grocery is great for picking up everything from fresh produce to jumex juice. It's family owned and family friendly. Some staff are bilingual and some not. Staff have a diverse age group and appreciate you stopping by.”
“First time in store, a little pricey, was able to get a few things on sale. Didn't have somethings that I wanted (turkey legs). Used self check out, rep was very nice.”
