It's been 3 years since I last set foot in this location, after a very unpleasant experience in…read more2023 drove me away for a while. The selection of items is always great, since the discounts are significant and meaningful. They usually stock on items that didn't sell well in other regular grocery chains, whether it be less popular flavors of certain cereals, or certain products that were overstocked but didn't sell well in more mainstream supermarkets. Their loss is our gain, I guess. I put a few pictures showing the significant markdowns on some great items. Definitely recommended to come at least once every 2 weeks for some great items that may be hard to find somewhere else, or items that maybe you wouldn't have tried otherwise. Customer service is still just ok, but definitely a lot better than the last time I was here in 2023.

Since the Eaton Fire destroyed the Altadena Aldi, I've found myself coming to Grocery Outlet less…read moreoften. I used to stop by here whenever I went to Aldi next door, but after that location burned down, I didn't visit this area much anymore. Today, though, I saw an ad for $0.99 eggs at Grocery Outlet and decided to come back. I spent some time at the store browsing for deals. I remember coming here specifically for big bags of pierogis and dumplings, but I didn't see those this time. I did pick up a pack of ribs for $5.99, which I think is a pretty good deal. I also noticed they carry a lot of their own Simply Go brand items, though I'm not sure about the quality yet. I'll come back when I see good deals that catch my eye.

We were visiting CA from Vegas and had been walking the area around our hotel day long. I wanted to…read morecheck out this TJ just to see how the CA stores compared to the Vegas stores. Very consistent and this particular location was really big. In Vegas I stop by TJ weekly specifically for their excellent floral dept. I enjoy having a small fresh bouquet of flowers or greens in my guest bath for guests to enjoy. TJ never disappoints. This location was no different. We took a quick lap around the whole store and everything was just the same as Vegas. Clean store, well displayed fresh produce, meats & dairy options, all your health & beauty needs available, plentiful tasty snacks, frozen foods and the wine department is well stocked and looked very popular filled with customers just like in Vegas. It's nice to know that no material what TJ you go to you're always going to have the same great shopping experience and you can confidently expect all the same great products.

My wife has been looking for thai chewy cakes that were similar to the ones we had in Bangkok. These look pretty close, but the ones we had in Thailand were pandan. In any case, this location is on the smaller side, but it's part of the Shops at Lake Avenue. I thought the FSD in my wife's Model 3 was glitching out when it kept driving us higher and higher into a parking structure, but we did end up at the entry way to Trader Joe's. We also found passion fruit mini ice cream bars and black seasame mochi ice cream while we were there. The staff was friendly and we got some items that we were looking for at other Trader Joe's locations but didn't have the luck of running into... until now that is.

Finally a young woman with dripping wet gloves came out. She had been cleaning, and basically grunted at me. I asked to be rung up for some things, and she DID NOT REMOVE HER WET GLOVES!

This is not a time for laziness or ignorance as we move into flu season amidst a lot of vaccine hesitancy. Not only could someone have been stealing from this unattended market, but quite a lot of disease transmission could potentially occur in this place. PLEASE PLEASE train your employees to at least remove soiled gloves when interacting with product and customers!

This was sliced and stored in the dessert refrigerator section where all the take out foods were located. Loads of coconut flavor with toasted coconut flakes! After each bite, there is a strong coconut flavor, yet you can taste the coconut essence in it versus real coconut flavor too, which detracts from the coconut cake eating experience. Lol. The cream is not as sweet as the cake. The cake itself is denser and had a wet texture versus a fluffy cake texture. That can be a big minus for those who are looking for that fluffy cake texture. Overall it is sweet, but not super sweet. The filling was coconut milk, but it tasted like condensed milk with coconut flavor added to it. Liked the flavor of the filling. It was not as sweet as expected either. The addition of toasted coconut flakes was delish. It really made everything taste better. This cake is still sweeter than Erewhon's Carrot Cake. I haven't had the best coconut cake, so I have nothing to compare this cake to, but I think anyone craving a coconut cake may enjoy this! EREWHON CARROT CAKE Organic ingredients used. One thing that was different was they used almond meal instead of all purpose flour. So the texture is different. It is a dense cake, as expected, but also like the coconut cake it is a wet cake too. Not a cake texture. The flavor is strong! You've got brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg at the first bite. Then the textures and flavors of the carrots, walnuts, and golden raisins and then the cream cheese. Outer layers were coated with chopped walnuts so there was more crunchiness and nutty flavor with each bite! The flavor is reminded me of Fall! A very warm-flavored Fall cake! Loved this more than the coconut cake, as the coconut cake is a one dimensional flavor, but the carrot cake had layers of Fall flavors! Cream cheese was not overly sweet with a hint of cream cheese tang. For those who crave carrot cake, this would be a good alternative when you don't know where to find a decent carrot cake. I would get this again! EREWHON ORGANIC POTATO CHIPS TRUFFLE These chips were delicious! It was thin like Lay's potato chips. The chips were a bit on the smaller side and some were bunched up together in clumps. But that's even more fun to eat! Strong black truffle flavor and saltiness. Would buy again! GIADZY NODI MARINI This is a pasta brand from chef Giada DeLaurentiis. Ordered from her website before she started selling her Giadzy pasta brands at Erewhon! It is on the pricier side, but the Nodi Marini is my favorite pasta from her pasta collection! This is generally called a Vesuvio pasta, a pasta from Campania. Delicious however you cook it! You can probably find this pasta shape from other well known Italian brands as well. TUMERIC CRUSH (Orange juice, carrot juice, pineapple, mango, tumeric, ginger, lemon, beet juice, camu camu) Got this smoothie with a shot of organic coconut oil. Wanted to try this and I thought this was a good healthy option. Served in a 20oz plastic cup, this was a large-sized smoothie! The smoothie tasted like fresh ginger, orange and tumeric. But the overall flavor was of strong freshly ground ginger. Very potent! Smoothie was icy cold too! There was sweetness in it from the other fruit juices in it. I did enjoy it and will get it again. Only downside was the wait time for one smoothie took a long time to make! CUSTOMER SERVICE Every time I'm here the customer service has been great! Staff were nice and helpful. PARKING Love that they have their own free parking lot! It can get crowded during the weekends (of course), but overall you can find parking here otherwise.

Stepping into Erewhon feels like a social experiment - there were a handful of people actually grocery shopping, but it felt like a vast majority were there to grab ready-made food (and/or a smoothie ofc). I got the Malibu mango smoothie and it was a nice, refreshing tropical drinkie that brought me back to life during SoCal's latest heat wave, but I don't know that the price tag was worth a repeat. Although my partner got the Sydney Sweeney smoothie and he has talked about wanting another multiple times since, so I think it's worth trying and making a decision about it for yourself~
