"I really love going to Trader Joe’s"
"Usually come here on Wednesday mornings and the staff is wonderful"
"Trader joes is in my opinion the best place to get your groceries or even stop to get a snack, me as a kid i love the roasted seaweed, the crackers, the guacamole and chips, their strawberries are my favorite, the Oreo like cookies and their baked goods "
"I visited this store this morning and like to mention a young girl at register was ignoring me and didn’t even respond to my greeting to her"
"Parking is TERRIBLE, and there’s always accidents, zero care for pedestrian right of way"
I really love going to Trader Joe’s. I was looking for produce which was extremely expensive at Vons. I was so surprised! It was like $10 for a spaghetti squash and $10 for a butternut squash. I know that Trader Joe’s is known for the frozen food but I feel like they have decent produce as well. It may not be on the level of Whole Foods but it is good enough! I went to get a spaghetti squash and butternut squash from them and they were each $3 and they didn’t charge by weight. This was clearly a much better option. The people that work at Trader Joe’s are friendly. I really like the banana bread that comes in a box to make. I also like the potato latkes in the frozen section. They have an amazing vegan French onion dip. They also have these corn chips that are perfect for dipping. and I couldn’t forget the curly lentil chips. Trader Joe’s has some unique items that you cannot find anywhere else. The prices are reasonable. Overall I would recommend going here. The one drawback to this Trader Joe’s in particular is the parking lot can get a little packed and narrow.
Usually come here on Wednesday mornings and the staff is wonderful. Came on a Thursday morning today and everything was fine until checkout— I could read her name tag but a woman with the name “Fresca” or something similar was extremely rude and condescending to us. We had put our items in our own shopping bags so they could easily be checked out and re-bagged. She was asking if “there was a reason” why we felt the need to put our items in bags and what we wanted to do about it. It was incredibly strange and extremely off-putting. She was laughing in our faces and being just generally. gross. I’ve shopped at multiple grocery stores and have never experienced behavior like that before. For a company who cares about the way their employees interact with customers, this was incredibly un-inviting. Will definitely stick to Wednesday mornings where we’ve dealt with incredibly nice employees. She should not be employed here with that attitude.
Trader joes is in my opinion the best place to get your groceries or even stop to get a snack, me as a kid i love the roasted seaweed, the crackers, the guacamole and chips, their strawberries are my favorite, the Oreo like cookies and their baked goods . My mom was always and still is against artificial colorings and flavors so what i love about trader joes is that they have zero products that use artificial flavors nor colors. My sister which is 8 lives finding a hidden monkey called “banana jack” because at the end when you check out they give you a lolly pop i will make sure i post a photo of him. Also the service is great they are all very kind.
I visited this store this morning and like to mention a young girl at register was ignoring me and didn’t even respond to my greeting to her. she was loud and cheat chatting with another person on mother register complementing each other Jewelery and then moving from one subject to another . It’s nice to be friendly with coworker but ignoring costumers right in front of you and handing the purchase receipt as you still talking over costumer’s head is insulting to costumers. I think costumers should be the priority and their presence should be acknowledged and respected. Please leave personal talks for break room. Thank you
Parking is TERRIBLE, and there’s always accidents, zero care for pedestrian right of way. That’s not Trader Joe’s fault though. This store has a great layout, and the flowers last so long! Staff is friendly Cheese selection here is not the best, I live close to Mission Valley and Hillcrest and which inarguably have more variety. I love the plant selection out front here, very broad selection and quality. I specifically like the checkout layout, this store’s checkout area seems bigger. Alcohol selection great layout, too.
I love this store. In 2019 during a difficult time when I lost a family member, one of the employee gave me a basket of 3 succulent as a community thing. She left san diego but the succulent and my appreciation has grown. Recently for the first time when there was a limited # of arugula I called and asked them to hold one for me. I wasn't sure of quality as I like to pick up my stuff but it was the best package, kept cold in the back. So many thanks to all wonderful employees and managers.
Absolutely love this trader Joe's right in La Jolla. Has amazing prices all year round and I'm always a fan of their seasonal stuff as well. All of the staff that I have encountered there so far have been extremely helpful and pleasant as well to talk to. I am here on a weekly basis and will be happily be back soon. Thank you so much for all your hard work at this store and for making my shopping trip more enjoyable. Can't wait to see it when all the new renovations are finally completed !!
High quality, great variety, fun & unique products, including organic groceries (LOVE their organic basil & organic sugar plum tomatoes), delicious dairy free frozen desserts, whipped coconut cream, thinly sliced-salted plantain chips, plain goat milk kefir, etc... Trader Joe's is my go to for all my grocery & gift shopping needs. I go here to shop for everyday, hosting holiday & other parties & even find great gifting options.
Be careful at the parking! I almost lost my left foot today! A lady had her car parked next to me crossing the lines of her spot. When she started backing up while i was loading my groceries in the back seat her car’s back wheel was just about 2 inches from running over my left foot!! Thanks god i turned around on time to see it and knocked her car to stop her. It blows my mind how bad the parking situation is!!
Great prices for healthy foods! Left with a hand basket full & only spent $50. Went to Target earlier and got a few things for that price. Cherry on top is their customer service! Edward was phenomenal & has great character. One of the best customer service experiences I’ve had. Couldn’t even leave the parking lot without reviewing him because of how great of a job he did. Much appreciation for your Edward!
Go to place for Organic and Seasonal Fruits and vegitables, curated snacking items and fine selection of different Cheese . Package Quantity is good for small family, so you can trip every week here. I like their selective collection of stuff instead of having 10 different varieties of some stuff. You will also find many packed Indian curry items which are better than any other place.
This is a Super Trader Joe's! Just one tip: unless you're walking impaired, do consider parking next to the pet shop around the corner. Your car will be happier for not getting dings. The parking spaces are small and the traffic pretty heavy. They'd also underground parking, with the entrance close by.
What a shop ! Through all the steps of our road trip we’ve seen expensive and disgusting fresh products but here it’s organic, fresh and ACTUALLY GOOD. And guess what’s better ? It’s 2 times cheaper than what we had before. And the cashier Nate was a lovely guy who made my evening more joyful !
Every single member of the team took time to help me and would ask other staff if they didn't know. TJ products are fantastic for a fair price. Store was clean and organized making for a wonderful shopping experience. Special shout out to Dana and the store manager for going above and beyond!
This store is like my extended kitchen pantry. Even when I have to wait in line to go in it's always the most pleasant place to wait in line. The sun is always shining. A little bit of a marine breeze usually. The people in the store are the best. I know so many of them and love them dearly.
If you are a fan of Trader Joe's, this one is pretty standard. I was there on a Thursday AM and it was surprisingly busy. Could be because it's the closest one to campus. Not sure what else TJs would need to do to get 5 stars, but it's a market after all. Does what it's supposed to do
Great store, terrible parking and drivers. The two Mexican men who were at the registers were friendly and gave their take on the Taki like chips I got. I love how they bag my stuff for me. I wish they had some of the old timey, sturdy cotton cloth bags that say the city and state.
As usual TJs was great BUT parking at this location was very challenging due to height restricted parking lot! (Can't remember the exact height but less than 9') I parked out back by PetSmart and walked. Oh well. But this is something you can't tell by looking at Google maps.
I visited this store yesterday, products are good of course, but unfortunately the service was terrible, even though it wasn't that busy. I asked 2 people for help to find a couple of products I couldn't find, and they didn't make any effort and their attitude was poor ...
I love Trader Joe's and go to this one most often. The staff are nice and very helpful. They seem like they like working there which makes it a pleasant place to work. Parking is not my favorite part. However the different types of food I can get make up for that.
Great Trader Joe's - like all of them. Delicious, healthy (natural) products at moderate prices . Always purchase the 99c sparkling H20 & the 50c liters of still water. Also appreciate the large selection of gourmet & domestic cheeses for exceptional prices.
This Trader Joe's is resituating the inside of the store for a better shopping experience for its members. Parking on the outside is also seemingly being redone. We were able to find everything we wanted with no problems; as usual, everyone
Im a big fan of thier flavored sparkling water (lemon flavor and lime flavor) , their vodka of the gods and their organic liquid stevia. Mix together over ice with fresh squeezed lemon for a refreshing summertime cocktail only 40 calories!
I always go to Trader Joe's first, before any other grocery store, both because it's cheaper there and because they treat their workers well. They don't have as wide a selection as the nearby Ralph's store, but their prices have remained
The last 2 times I've shopped here, the individual assisting me in checking out has been extremely rude. Both separate workers. Today, I watched as a staff member joyfully helped out a younger woman, taking time to meet all her needs. He
Nice staff, good collection of VEGETARIAN organic (cheap) groceries. Great for a quick to go lunch and excellent fresh produce. Every single worker was absolutely wonderful! I've never had a bad experience with Trader Joe's. Every time I
I've come here for many years and have had surprising experiences. One employee was adamant about me trying his favorite Italian restaurant. Another employee and I bonded over Orange County, where he commuted from every day. A cute
Good selection of groceries for my needs!! Also the shop is smaller than most other superstores, i feel this is convenient as it saves our time. The frozen food collection is also good quality. The prices are also reasonable.
A very popular place to shop. It's clean, well stocked and the staff are super helpful and friendly. I'm visiting from NW Wyoming and I wish we had this store close to us. The closest trader joes is in Colorado .
Most TJ stores have extra parking removed to appear more popular. I have noticed that if you spend 20 or 30 minutes configuring fresh produce into various satanic symbols, no one will even ask if you need help.
This is a great store. I went there for the gluten free options. They have English style gluten free muffins as well as gluten free coffee cake. They are both delicious. Trader Joe's LJ is a great store!
Great place for fresh and cheap fruits and vegetables! Food items are of great quality. The only limitation is that it doesn't have a diverse collection so it's not a one stop store for groceries.
Don't you just love that place, what a business plan. Oh, you folks that park your carts in the middle of the aisle, please get your heads out of your butt and be considered of others.
It was nice and clean. I was able to get in and out within minutes. It is also in a complex with a few other stores so I was able to make a few more errands with one stop.
One of the best store with best selection of the food inside. Worst parking ever ! Be careful, cause it's La Jolla Village, it's always crowded, especially on the weekends
Great produce and they always are sampling something... I love me some free samples yo. Read the story about their 2 buck chuck also. Great wine and vodka of the gods lol
Excellent customer service and friendliness. It's become my favorite TJs in San Diego. I also appreciate how they are constantly restocking so we can get what we need.
Visiting from Austin, and I absolutely love this TJ! Maureen & Courtland made the experience positive, fun, and inviting. You will always have friends at this TJ!
Trader Joe’s is always amazing. I always get everything truffle they have going on. Right now they have ketchup and mayonnaise with truffle and they’re amazing!
Always love getting stuff from here but they also have this cute board on the wall with all these cute little furrballs that makes me so happy..!!
Staff is amongst the best Traders Joe's employees treat there customers with the utmost respect there extremely helpful employee Matt is the best
Such a nice store. They've got great products and great people that that are really helpful. I love the playlist they have with funk music. 5/5.
A sales associate was very helpful to look for an item not on the shelf. Unfortunately they were out of the pumpkin liqueur. Maybe next time
Nice place to buy grocery,drinks, vegetables and plants. They have very reasonable price not expensive.
Great Trader Joe's and the staff is amazing. Rarely disappointed and love all of TJ's vegan options.
Love Trader Joe's for the peanut butter, olive oil, cheese, and treats. I don't get produce here.
They were out of so many things!!!!!!!! Other than that, it was a typical busy night.
If you can find a spot in the oddly shaped parking lot it's as good of TJ's as any.
this trader joes has the honor of being next to the worst parking lot in history
Amazing place to get groceries from. The precooked meals are great!!
Good groceries. The prepaid meals and dark chocolates are the best.
They have some great stuff there, and they accept EBT cards.
Best place for organic , natural , and best quality food.
Almost perfectly supplied, great flowers, great prices.
High quality products. Prices are affordable as well.
I always find a new food item and then my favorites!!
Most of their products are absolutely fantastic.
Always will shop here! Great food, great staff!
Great grocery store in a nice neighborhood!
One of my favorite food stores.
