I opted for a breakfast burrito which was made with quality ingredients. The burrito tasted clean, non-greasy and filling. I totally understand why they closed the cafe with the cost of labor and overhead increasing. The new set up is self-service and they still offer a good size dining area and free wifi so you can enjoy a meal or beverage.

Of course as most places in the desert, there's also loads of parking. Another location that's part of a mini strip mall. Plenty of parking and quite maintained with the traffic. I maybe eat my words later on depending on day and time of next visit....lol... Of course at the entrance, a nice little area with all the potted plants. There was a good amount compared to the other locations I've been too. Not sure but I think all the locations get new shipments with plants quite often. The store itself is a pretty decent size and the isle is pretty wide so it makes it easier maneuvering with other shoppers and the carts. Everything that I came for were all in stocked which is great. Didn't have to ask any of the sales associates if anything was in the back. Layout is pretty much similar to all the other stores give or take its reverse when you walk in. Overall, another great location with everything is stocked. Amazing staff and friendly service.

We came in to stock up on supplies for lunch and happily found fresh produce lots of low sodium luncheon meat and snacks for the road. They were also giving out samples of pumpkin ice cream, and I'm a sucker for a pumpkin any pumpkin product. They have makes me happy. I've tried their wonderful pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cake, pumpkin donut holes, and the pumpkin ice cream was probably the best treat of all! I also wound up getting two more of the tiny trick-or-treat bags for three dollars each, which make great gift bags this time of year ! We will return time and time again to Trader Joe's for reliable, delicious fresh and innovative food !

Looked up another high end market in Palm Desert and found Jensen's. Spoke with Alex in the meat Department, and explained my needs for the finest Ahi Tuna and Pacific Halibut.

This review is only for their barbecue, which they have on select days. Mostly near holidays on…read moreFriday and Saturday. The barbecue items were excellent we had beef, ribs, pork, ribs, barbecue chicken, legs, and thighs, and barbecued sausage. They did not have any other parts of the chicken except for legs and thighs, which we do prefer white meat, but it was very good. I also got some mac & cheese, which my husband liked but I was not a fan. Also, beef ribs are extremely hard to find and they only have them if they get a shipment prior to bbq days so you need to call first. It was absolutely packed at 11:30 on a Saturday. I do not advise you go near lunchtime unless you're ready for a crowd . Previously I had purchased some knockwurst that was on special . We are only used to the Jewish version at Sherman's deli and these were just terrible. I give them one star. I also purchased some veal shanks which no body has and they were pretty good , no complaints. So bottom line is you have to try different things to see what's best for you. But I think it's the best bbq in Coachella valley!

And even though it's a good-sized store, I've been amazed that I actually haven't been able to find a couple of items I specifically came in for. I do like their large self-checkout area. Parking is ample, but they can get busy, and in 110+ degree heat, nobody wants to walk that far to/from the front door. I'm also not a fan of blocking and/or locking one set of doors at night. (I thought that was illegal when the store is open?) I get that it's for safety, but it's annoying when you're unfamiliar with the layout, and all they do is place random signage or carts to block it.

When we confirmed that our stay had a full size kitchen, it made sense for us to do a full round of grocery shopping, to try to eat-in more. This Albertson's was convenient on our way back from dinner, and we ended up buying a lot more than anticipated. Even though it is a sister store of Von's, it still required us to download the Albertson app to be able to get the savings from digital coupons. We ended up using the store Wi-Fi, and everything applied correctly. The gentleman behind the meat/seafood counter was friendly, and provided us good choices in various meats. Now it's just a matter of finishing everything before we have to go back home.

Just keep in mind that inventory changes constantly, so if you see a specialty item you love, grab it right then because it might not be there next time!
