Since it's Fall season, I've been going to Trader Joe's to try out their Fall items, as well as other items that I've enjoyed or really wanted to try. Here's the breakdown below of the items that I've tried: Lobster bisque (3.5/5): Creamy enough, nice seafood taste. But, there wasn't a lot of lobster pieces in it. Coffee Blast ice cream (4/5): great coffee flavor. Creamy. But, there was less coffee bean flecks in it than I remembered. So, that was a bummer. Cold Brew concentrate (2/5): the coffee was too acidic and not as aromatic as other coffees I've tried. It's very strong in caffeine content, though. Sparkling peach black tea (3/5): this was pretty good. It tasted like a non-alcoholic version of the fuzzy navel drink. Strawberry ice cream mochi balls (5/5): the ice cream had such a beautiful strawberry flavor and melded well with the soft, chewy mochi. Caramel apple ice cream mochi balls (2/5): I didn't enjoy this one. It tasted more like an apple jolly rancher with no caramel flavor. I would rather eat the strawberry mochi instead. Vegetable samosas (5/5): these little bad boys were fire! The veggie filling had a wonderful blend of spices in it. It had a slight kick to it as well. I liked the texture of the peas and potatoes inside. Definitely air fry these samosas for a beautiful crunch on the outside. Great value at 12 samosas for just $4! Pumpkin flavored Joe-Joe's (4/5): I don't know that I would label these as pumpkin flavored, but they did have a pleasant gingersnap flavored creme filling with a graham cracker flavored cookie. Pumpkin spiced Joe-Joe's (1/5): I didn't know they also had a pumpkin spiced version of this cookie with an outer yogurt coating to it. I didn't enjoy this one. The yogurt coating was too sweet and the cookie cream filling tasted too much of cinnamon. Chocolate lava cakes (5/5): If you love chocolate, this one's for you. Aromatic, moist chocolate cake with an intense chocolatey ganache sauce in the center. Chef's kiss. Peanut butter filled pretzels (4/5): Beautiful peanut butter filling with a nicely salty pretzel exterior. This is a satisfying snack when you're just feeling peckish. Dark chocolate peanut butter cups (5/5): Think of a Reese's peanut butter cup, but instead with an aromatic, slightly bitter dark chocolate outer coating. The dark chocolate and peanut butter were both intense in flavor. But, they stood up to each other to make this snack delicious. Dark chocolate espresso beans (5/5): Love the dark chocolate coating with the aromatic, roasted coffee beans. Be careful eating too many of these beans, as they're strong. Spanakopita (5/5): Wow. This was delicious! We air fried these bad boys, so the phyllo dough was crispy and fluffy. The spinach filling was flavorful with a slight tang from the feta cheese. Now, I've had spanakopita in the past and normally don't like it. I think the spinach filling in the TJ version is milder in flavor than other spanakopitas I've tried, which is probably why I like the TJ version so much. Korean style beef short ribs (galbi) (4/5): Nice beef flavor and galbi marinade, although a bit sweet. It does require thawing and cooking on a pan. What I really liked about this galbi was that you can get a pound of meat (and bones) for $13.99. I mean, you couldn't get this much meat from a Korean restaurant. There's about six long pieces of galbi in the bag, which was pretty generous. Serve this galbi with some steamed rice, and you've got a complete meal. Speculoos cookie butter (5/5): Bomb! I ate this on its own with a spoon, which is THE BEST way to eat this. The only way I can describe the flavor is that of a more aromatic, nutty, and creamy version of a graham cracker. It was so good! I did pair it with some butter cookies, but it tasted way better spread over toast to let the cookie butter shine. I read that this cookie butter can be made into a milkshake as well. I will have to experiment more with this cookie butter. I

How can you not love Trader Joe’s? The workers are always happy and want to help, great products and awesome prices. Always gotta stop by when I’m in the area. And I’m LOVING the skin care lately. TJ’s really stepping their game up!

I've always loved this place, the cashiers have always been friendly and lovely. But today I was disappointed by a cashier. She was impatient to answer my questions and felt that the questions I asked were unnecessary. But the store manager she is sweet and patient. ONE STAR for the unfriendly cashier!!!! Five stars to the store manager and all the friendly cashiers here.

Recently went here for groceries. We purchased 2 bags of bread. Two days after purchasing, one bag of bread shows mold on the bread even though the expiration dates shows October 08, 2023. We haven’t even open the packaging and saw mold on many of its bread. This is a major health issue. We are afraid to go to this location as they seriously need to check their product and storage for the public health.

Perfect little supermarket that has everything you need PLUS the employees are extremely friendly and helpful. I can spend less here than most supermarkets and get incredible quality.... Only thing I miss in here is a "standard" deli/meat department but besides that, everything is TOP NOTCH! Been coming here for a few months loyally and don't see myself venturing elsewhere any time soon.

They have Soo many things I had never been there. Loved the place and found a bag of med size lemons for $1.39. Some of their items are very reasonable than other stores. Usually shop various places for reasonable prices. Will be back to shop more.

We’ve been to this location over the years the employees are always nice, however on this particular HOT summer day my kids and I came in. One of the employees Will was stocking the ice cream and he noticed my 6 year old daughter looking so he told her to come over and look at the different flavor/options he had then he asked if she would like to try one before making a decision! So my daughter and I got to try one of the chocolate chip mini cones and we decided to buy them. Thanks Will!!

I always buy my face wash (tea tree oil) and eye serum from here!

Just as I have experienced in other Trader Joe's in other cities. Store is clean, neat and tidy. Staff is friendly, mannerful and super helpful. I wish there is a Trader Joe's in the city that I live in.

Came in for the first time and was walking around before checking out and a manager came and spoke to me and told me more about the store and products. He explained that i should mention at checkout to the cashier that it is my first time for a "free bag" and after checkout i asked and was bluntly told "thats not how it works." i don't really care much about the free bag but i do care about terrible customer service. Thats it. Tell me to do something then claim thats not how it works. Fuck your bag and fuck your trades "Trader Joe"

I had bad experience today, I have bought last week a bag of coffee and after trying it I don’t like the taste and the quantity, so today I went to the store to do my groceries, I have asked the cashier of take the amount of the cofffee from the receipt , so he asked to present the bag of coffee as prove I have bought the coffee !!!!! I am Trader Joe’s customer since 2015 and I know the cashier isn’t supposed to ask this question !!!! Very disappointed with this service and on the top of this the cashier had an attitude. Next time I will avoid him on the check outs.

My favorite and the only store I go to for groceries. Clean and well-stocked on a Saturday morning when I visit. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Management and certain staff are very rude to customers and when brought up mangers are allowed to belittle and shame there staff members which seems very horrible

Very orderly and well stocked TJs. I am new to TX from CA and I wasn't sure I'd find TJs. I can say I've never had someone walk up to me in an LA store and ask if I was finding everything alright or needed help. Two crew members did just that. I can tell I'll feel at home in this store. Oh, and lots of parking which is not the case in LA at all. Very happy
