The store is vibrant and inviting. Before you even enter, you are welcomed by a color array of flowers and fruits. It makes me happy. Kind of like walking into Trader Joe's! Have you seen the WF hot bar? So sad compared to this one. I've had the poke bowls, pork sandwich, Okonomiyaki and of course the ooey gooey Cookie. You've got to try it for yourself. Check my photos!

For years, I've been captivated by the mystique surrounding shopping at Trader Joe's. Intrigued by…read morethe tales of their unique snacks and meals, I finally decided to visit on this day. Trader Joe's offers an impressive array of snacks and treats at incredibly affordable prices. Although it's smaller than I anticipated for a grocery store, its unique charm makes up for the size. The friendly cashiers work from small, personable stations, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. While I didn't particularly indulge in the sweets or meat-based products, I found some of the nuts (walnuts, pecans) and other items to be pleasantly affordable. They were significantly cheaper than similar items I've purchased elsewhere. Trader Joe's has immense potential. They offer a delightful fusion of foods and snacks that are truly one-of-a-kind. It's an excellent place to grab a quick bite for parties or meal prep. I'm definitely planning to return and explore more of what Trader Joe's has to offer. It's definitely worth checking out, especially this University Place-Tacoma location. This is the first time I've visited this particular location, but I'll be back. I'm grateful to people who bring their own bags, which is what I always do when I'm shopping. I keep at least two in the car, so please be mindful of that.

Came to grab a taco salad for lunch. It was pretty good, big portion, and just $6.99 on Thursday…read more The shell itself was not my favorite. It wasn't super crunchy and was kind of airy. There are a ton of options for the toppings. 3 types of beans, 3 types of protein, lettuce, red or green salsas, pico, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, cheese, jalapeños, olives, and I might be missing some other options. I would say my taco salad tasted slightly bland but I would prefer that to overly salted as I can add my own salt. The service was great. Quick but friendly. I love how they wrap up the taco salad in a box to keep it all together and to prevent breaking and leaking. I'm curious to come back to try their other daily deals.

Compared to the location in Seattle, I thought the Central Co-op location in Tacoma was just okay…read more The pluses are that it is on a busy road on your way to Point Defiance Park and there is a large parking lot. The space feels roomy, though somewhat dimly lit and sterile. Pricing is decent and competitive with PCC and Whole Foods. It does not have as many local products as the Seattle store, fresh bread in particular. They do carry some unique products like corn tortillas made in Shelton and baguettes from Vashon. Overall, I like this chain but prefer the Seattle store for selection.

* Closing Store Notice* It was announced two weeks ago that…read morethis Fred Meyer store is closing by the parent company Kroger. This store felt like it wasn't too long ago that this store got remodeled which left it more confusing to find items in general but eventually the kinks got worked out as I learned where items were. Fred Meyer had higher prices than many other of their competitors on various soft lines and hard lines. Clothes were noticeably higher than the competitors. I imagine part of the reason it is closing is due to high theft but I assumed it wouldn't be as high compared to the now closed 72nd location. Perhaps it's also a factor that Kroger is miffed with a failed merger. I didn't go here too terribly often more recently but I did go here on occasion to get knee braces and distilled water for my C-Pap machine. This leaves just a smaller supermarket location in town and the selection is poorer compared to a regular Fred Meyer store. This will leave a regular store for shoppers to be redirected to University Place or Spanaway.

Lines do take awhile but they have self check out for 10 items or less. Remember no credit taken here; bring your ATM card or use your phone debit card. Great to have this store close to my home.
