    Great can beer selection!
    Andrew H.

    Best beer selection in Joshua Tree, by far! They've got lots of the major California craft breweries and even some of the smaller ones. I stocked up on beers from Pizza Port, one of my favorite breweries in the state. They had them in tallboy 6-packs, perfect for chugging after a hard lead out on the rocks!

    Don't be fooled by this non-descript market. You could easily drive past it, mistaking it for just another mini-mart. And when you first walk in, that's exactly what it feels like. However, go to the back to the beer cave. They have an amazing selection of beers. I suspect that the owner, Sam, is a beer connoisseur who tries to get his hands on all sorts of interesting beers. In fact, they have a beer cave in the back, which is essentially a walk-in fridge with all sorts of beers. Unfortunately, the beers aren't organized in any particular discernable order (didn't seem to be alphabetized or by location, but beers did seem to be clustered by brewery, just couldn't see any order to how the brewery groups were organized...). They also have beers outside the beer cave that aren't refrigerated. Beer lovers, be sure to peruse the shelves slowly, as I'm sure there are some gems hidden there. I saw some beers that I had never seen before!

    The man working here was genuinely the nicest person. Plenty of stuff to buy but really just wanted to review to support him. Good people.

Very friendly, gave me prices and sizes, and told me she would take care of me when I got there. I got there about an hour later, didn't tell her it was me on the phone, and STILL got great customer service. Welcomed me to the store, was quick to offer options, I even needed more shrimp than what they had and she went out of her way to go get more and thaw it for me. I went to grab a few extra things and by the time I came back she already had the extra shrimp bagged and tagged, ready to go. She was cleaning, helping, and being friendly, all by herself! Keep up the good work girl! I can tell she loves her job and I love her energy!

They smelled sweet and the petals were the richest reds and pinks and yellows. Something happened. The fragrance started to decline and eventually they had no fragrance at all. The edges of the roses became dark and lifeless and the buds began to droop. Like so many in this community, we are angry to see you aren't tending the roses. You aren'tt teaching the younger workers how to take care of all the flowers that can bring such joy to the elderly in the community like me. You just throw them away and wait for the next batch to take their place. All the beauty is leaving this place and many are scared it won't come back again.

They did have a good selections but what was left when I got there was pretty slim picking. Everyone picking something up which is great. Fast forward to Tuesday morning. The rush is over and everything is back in stock. The flowers are ready for picking. All the orchids plants are fully stocked, loads of the peonies on full display. Get them while you can as they are seasonal and only available during certain months. Besides picking up the flowers, they alway have everything I come for and then some. The isle and shelves are alway neat and clean. The staffs are alway so friendly and welcoming. I've seen some even help people take their groceries out to their cars for them.

If you're in need of any Trader Joe's thing, then you must stop in at this one in Cathedral City. Located off Palm Canyon in the shopping center with Target, El Pollo Loco and lots of familiar spots, but next door to Boomers - National Amusement Center which keeps this parking lot extra lit. The layout is pretty easy and classic to the ways of Traders locations. I'm usually only in town for a weekend here or there and when coming up to visit friends and or/stay this is one of my main go to places for snacks, small groceries, and wine. The service here is great and even when it's very busy I still feel like everything runs so smoothly. Awesome produce, nuts, hummus, dips, chips and veggie friendly finds. Impossible nuggets in the frozen section? Yes, please! A bottle of French rosé... It's a yah! Good prices and quality everything. Whether your local, passing through as a traveler or just visiting. This Trader Joe's will be good to you. And yes like any places they may run low or out of popular items or even discontinue things, however you'll be surprised when you discover new ones. Open 8 AM to 9 PM daily. Holidays pending.

They're really zesty and are a great snack or an interesting way to impress a date with a left field appetizer option. Good selection of foods overall although not a lot of organic options in produce section which is fine if you don't mind eating GMO bananas. A lot of the clientele seem to have a lot of tattoos which heightens the shopping experience, it's a creative crowd along with the usual senior citizens. The deli wasn't happening but I'm sure it has its moments. Reasonable prices. Would go back, mainly for the zesty pickles.

Didn't say anything just literally threw my ground beef poorly wrapped up on the counter and walked away. Didn't even look at me. I don't even know how he knew. I was the one that ordered the ground beef because he never even said hello to me, absolute horror of a Customer Service person he needs to be working at a gas station or at a pot farm.. but after this I will not go back ever again there's other choices for me to shop and secondly, the ground beef that I ordered and I said the 97% to the gentleman and my label says 80% lean 20% fat. Unbelievable this guy that works behind that counter is needs to go. That's all there is it he needs to go.! now I'm cooking my ground beef and they unroll it and it's two different colors and I don't understand why ground beef fresh out of the meat counter is two different colors? Why is that? Can anybody explain that to me? I will attach a photo to prove it somebody's gonna get sick or somebody's gonna really get offended by this person's attitude and lack of Customer Service. I'm done with that theater Brothers in Yucca Valley I'll never ever go back. Don't even bother trying to email me and say you apologize. We're working on these because that's what you said the last time and nothing's changed so for anybody who's looking for positive feedback on the Stater Bros. the only good thing I can think of is nothing.!
