Their service is consistently excellent. Staff is so patient and nonjudgmental regarding their tote bags. The totes are so cute and it's perfect for gifting. Love the TJ sparkling water as it is so much cheaper than the national brands. Nuts are also reasonably priced here. Their vegan frozen items are also great. You gotta try the vegan bulgolgi. Parking is tricky so get there before the restaurants open. read more

This is your typical Trader Joe's store with your typical parking problems! Right when you walk in you will see the floral section and then past that the cold section of produce and grab and go items. The middle section is the frozen section and in the back you will find nuts and dried fruit. Alcohol will be to the left as you walk in near the registers. I like how spacious this location is on the inside. Staff members are friendly, helpful and kind. Checking out was easy. There were several registers open. I highly suggest you check this Trader Joe's out if you are in the Davis area needing to shop for groceries. read more

Love their flower selection! The Elk Grove location ran out of what I needed and they suggested I stop in here to check. I found exactly 3 more tulips in a vase the exact ones I needed. This location is always busy. I like the open set up & space. Staff are always friendly here. Prices aren't bad. I love trying their new products especially seasonal items. read more

I mean its Trader Joes. How can one go wrong. I have to say I am so jealous. Lived here 20 years and this was NOT here! Came here on a fluke and of course I fell in love. This location was well stocked, ample parking, and well maintained. The service was stellar but I have never been to a TJ was service wasn't top tier. Overall I will definitely return to this location if I am in the area. read more

Good prices good people but my review is for the parking lot in which I won't be going back here again. I have a truck. The layout is horrible!! I could not get out of my parking spot without almost hitting another car. Who designed this? It took me 20 times to try to make my way out without hitting anyone. No thank you. read more

I've been coming to this Trader Joe's location for years. Recently, they made some changes to their store layout that are not welcome, flipping the store so the bread is directly next to the liquor section. This is not an intuitive layout and I do not know why they did it, but it does make it harder for shoppers to navigate the store. Still, it is a Trader Joe's. The staff are truly what make the store welcoming. Since I've been coming here for so long, I feel as though the one consistent thing about the store is the positive attitude of its workers. There has never been a time when the store was too busy for my cashier to have a real conversation with me, and that's why you go here! read more

Newly remodeled Trader Joe's. Came here from Fairfield because it is bigger and less crowded. Lots of space and a ton of fresh items. I find the produce here is much better than the one. The parking lot can be a little cramped read more

These people are very nice and friendly. They're very helpful. Will definitely go back and shop here. Thank you TJs!!

I really like coming to this location! I stopped by last Wednesday with my little sister. The flower selection is stunning--so many beautiful, fresh options that really brighten up the store. I picked up a couple different types of brie, and had to grab a new bottle of Green Dragon Sauce, SO good. My sister got some flowers and a brie as well! Despite it being pretty busy, the cashiers were super efficient and friendly, making checkout quick and easy. The store is always well-organized, which makes finding everything a breeze. Highly recommend this location :) read more

Great location and great customer service. But sometimes what I'm looking for is not there such as Green onions. The essential items should be always there. read more

Food- same ol' stuff, different location. Service- same good non-invasive help is there if you need it. Ambiance- Ambiance? It's a grocery store. Don't need a low-lit table cloth environment. Obviously not a one-stop shop for everything under the sun. It's got a lot though, so it appears I frequent this place. They've recently redone the parking lot, as the University Mall lot is in a state of limbo these days. There is a smaller section towards the Sycamore Lane side partitioned off. Hasn't filled up yet but it looks like it could very easily. Not a pandemic casualty. Definitely a pandemic reduction. read more

The staff are always pleasant & helpful. I like cruising the frozen section because new, intriguing dishes are always showing up. Gotta try new things, right? Find a new taste treat. I go at off hours. Easier to park. read more

they have so many good things that I buy as treats for myself. usually wind up spending quite a bit. and if I have trouble finding something, clerks are happy to help me find it. or the front desk can tell me if it's just not available for them to stock. read more

Pretty stocked location! There's always new goodies to find whenever I make a trip to TJ. There's a large selection of frozen food, wines, meats, etc. Staff are so friendly and cashiers are super quick. And of course the ambiance is always amazing at Trader Joe's read more

Love coming to this Trader Joe's! It gets a bit busy, but nothing too unbearable. I love coming here to grab some frozen foods, like the orange chicken. The only this is the parking lot kinda sucks...spots are small. But that isn't necessarily Trader Joe's fault...maybe lol. read more

This is such a nice Trader Joe's. The parking lot isn't hell like the sacramento one! The selection was good. The people working were very friendly. It was clean! read more

I have never been treated so unprofessionally. I have been going to Trader Joe's in different locations for over 30 years, since I was in college. Today, at Davis TJ's, I had a terrible experience. I got into the under 15 items line. I had 14 items. I counted before I got in the line. First, the cashier says VERY LOUDLY AND RUDELY, that it was the 15 and under items line. I said I had less than 15 items. Then, she again VERY LOUD AND RUDELY asked if I was separating the items in my cart between me and my daughter, as if I was trying to "sneak in". I again said NO. But, to be questioned twice in such a rude and inappropriate manner? I was livid and I didn't say anything because my daughter looked uncomfortable. BUT, the cashier NEVER apologized for her rudeness. She never apologized for DARING to question me but not questioning anyone else who got into her lane. The person behind me also had a cart of things and I don't know how many items but definitely more than 10. There was ZERO questioning. ZERO RUDENESS to the person behind me. Did she think it was okay because I was a middle aged Asian woman? No customer deserves to be questioned so RUDELY, LOUDLY and PUBLICLY. And, if a worker was so rude, A MANAGER or SOMEONE IN CHARGE should have stepped in and apologized. SOMETHING. But, everyone stared but no one thought to step in and say anything to me. It is wrong and I was owed an apology. The leadership at this store FAILED. read more

I was on my way back to Sac from the Bay Area and I stopped in here at Trader Joe's to get a snack and I found these new on the shelf Trader Joe's Sour Cream and Onion Ring Snacks! Small bag option only, too bad. They're smaller rings than "Funyons" (one of my fave road snacks), but actually tastier! Maybe even healthier .... sort of. Easy in and out of this store , depending on what time you get here. read more

I stopped by Trader Joe's to kill some time before getting a tasty treat from Yoloberry Yogurt. I had about 30 minutes to spare before they opened. Fun fact: I used to work/commute to Davis between 2011 and 2015. The first two years, I worked at small medical plaza right by the University Mall, where this Trader Joe's is located. I used to take my lunch breaks and walk with a couple coworkers (Yes, it was that close! LOL) to shop and grab lunch items, and still had time to eat lunch when we got back to the office. Stopping by today was really nostalgic. It still has that magic I remembered from years ago. The employees are always so nice and helpful here. The citizens of Davis always says "hi" while I'm shopping through the aisles. This store still keep their shelves well stocked. I grabbed some produce, snacks, cold brews (coffee that is!) and was off. Check out was pretty quick too! This Trader Joe's is on Russell Blvd, cross street being Sycamore Lane. It's right down the street from UC Davis. It's right off Highway 113, Russell Blvd exit. I will stop by the next time I'm in Davis and need to make a quick TJ run! read more

Staff are super friendly and helpful if you have any questions. But love this Trader Joe's because it's usually very stocked and has everything I need. Plus I love Trader Joe's brand food items because it's always decently priced. You can't go wrong with their grab and go section or the freezer aisle for a quick and easy meal. read more

My favorite grocery store! Small and easy to navigate, with well-staffed cash registers for speedy checkout. Sometimes items are out of stock at odd times...They seem to have fluctuations in stock that don't seem to quite match the demands of the community. I wish TJs would open another location in Davis!! Westlake Plaza would be great!! People would likely come from Woodland and Winters to that location! read more

The Trader Joe's in Davis is one of the better Trader Joe's within a couple hours drive. Everything on the shelves were well stocked and the staff are all very nice and helpful. The only negative is that being in Davis, it is always busy from all the UCD students. It is much less busy in the summers and extended holidays such as winter and spring break once most of the students have left. Parking is always an issue in this shopping center as it is not very big and does fill up fast. read more

Trader Joe's is my happy place. I love this location. Everything is so easy to find and their layout is 90% like the other stores. I hate going to the ones that are not the same layout. I feel lost. But not here. Everything is where it's supposed to be. As usual, their customer service is top notch. read more

You know how there's often a fine line between a 1-star and a 5-star review? Case in point. Originally I was going to give this store 1 star and insist that's one star too many, but on reflection I changed it to a 5, and I'll explain why in a bit. But first, there's the parking issue: not enough bicycle parking spots at peak student activity. One solution is to arrive at off-peak hours, such as before noon, when many college kids wake up. Another is to use an alternative means of transportation. You could walk, but to power a 10-mile round trip stroll you should probably carry a water bottle and eat about 1000 calories, such as contained in one of the pastries sold at Estelle's, and then you'd have to lug the shopping bag back home. Or you could hazard parking a car in the extremely narrow parking spots, which easily allow car doors to swing open as long as you're driving a Mitsubishi Mirage, though you could avoid using the car doors altogether if you had a convertible or a car with a sun roof. Otherwise trike motorcycles and human hamster wheels would fit well in those spots, so there's that. Secondly, the store does sell vegetables, fruits, nuts, hummus, eggs, cod and other proteins, coffee, lots of snackies, flowers--so many items, at fairly low prices, only not what I needed at the time when I went (more on that later). The workers are nice enough, ready to assist as they meander in force through the store forever stocking items, offering useful-sounding advice (one worker asked me, "What's the temperature inside a tauntaun? Lukewarm."), but no one could point me to the clothing section, which really frustrated me. Thirdly, the place has a community or neighborhood feel to it, from the nice workers to the locals flocking to do their shopping, I even recognized a friend or two and said hello, so I imagine how the place could serve as an informal meeting spot, except one should of course judge or be judged only by the content of their character and never by the contents of their shopping carts even when the carts bulge with lots of snackies. In summary, this place gets 5 stars for being a grocery store selling everyday goods. But for those who require nightwear for sleep, wouldn't you give only 1 star to a place known as PJ's?! read more

Stopped by to pick up some treats to bring home to Hawaii & since we were staying in the West Sac area, this was the closest TJ's to our location. This store is located just across the street from UC Davis & was easy to find. There is plenty of parking in a huge lot that also has the University Mall. The mall itself is pretty deserted with just a handful of stores open & the majority of store fronts are for lease. We got there about 1PM on Wednesday, June 7. This seems to be a pretty busy store as there was a line at each register which moved pretty quickly. I was able to get what I wanted and then some. This store is pretty spacious compared to other TJ's I've been to. The aisles are wide enough to fit several carts with room to spare. The store was very clean & there were several employees constantly stocking shelves. The bathrooms were clean, as well. By the time I got to the register, the long lines were gone. I was helped by 2 super friendly and nice gals - cashier & the bagger. I must applaud TJ's for the quality of the people they hire - they are top-notch when it comes to customer service and it's consistent in all the TJ's I have visited in my travels. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience at this location, which has now become one of my favorite TJ's in the Sacramento area. Mahalo TJ's, I'll be back next time! read more

I just love this store !! So many great buys. Good prices, nice employees. Only down side it it is busy , like crazy busy every time I go. I love to find all the new treats and Holiday / seasonal items. The sell the items out fast so if you like it buy a few. read more

How have I not reviewed TJ's yet? Back in 2003 I circulated a petition to bring TJ's to Davis and sent the company a letter explaining all the benefits of opening in this university community. I celebrated their opening back in 2010 with joy and celebration. I've become hooked on many of their products, my favorite being the Pound Plus 72% dark chocolate bars. The Davis location is a rather small store compared to other cities. I sometimes can not find some of the products recommended by friends who live near bigger stores. On the plus side, I've always been able to find a parking space at this location. During Covid they have been very responsible in following the health guidelines. On Wednesdays and Sundays the first open hour of the store (9 a.m) is only for shoppers over 60 years old and it is enforced. read more

Trader Joe's - Missed the grand opening by one day. Ecstactic shopper on 10/30/2010 - Grocery Near Me - Davis, California

Shoutout to the two female cashiers at the front register for being super dope; I was buying the dynamite sauce (basically their version of spicy mayo) and they said it was good. I said I was buying it because they had an issue with the mayo shipment. And they were advising me on whether or not it tasted good as well as other products. Def enjoy the customer service here. The guy out front was also great at making small talk; he saw my fuse beads and was guessing what it was . That's above and beyond just asking how someone's day was. read more

Besides the horrible parking situation in this shopping plaza (-1 Star), many of the stores are great to visit and get grocery shopping done at Trader Joe's. A few of my favorite items here is the Cod Fish, 2 buck chuck which isn't $2 no more, Alfredo pasta, pasta and enchilada sauces, sriracha bbq sauce, sweet and sour sauce, weetabix and brown sugar cereals. Oh and chocolate almonds. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The store is clean. Can be busy in the evenings with students and people after work. read more

Forget coming after 3pm there's never anything in stock! I walked into the store today literally all the produce was gone all the frozen food is gone You'd think the store managers would be smart enough to evaluate high traffic volume and order more stock, definitely not the case theyre idiots forget being able to feed you family the only time you can shop like a normal person is before noon. read more

This review is based on my first trip to Trader Joe's. First time in and I was very surprised by the prices. Very affordable in comparison to Safeway where I normally shop. I'll be back to do a week meal plan haul. read more

I love coming to this Trader's Joe. If is convenient and easy to access. I live in Sacramento, however I prefer to go to this one. The staff is very friendly, the store is clean. They seemed to continue to stock the shelves consistently. I will definitely continue to come here and drive the few extra miles for great customer service. Thank you. read more

I love the various products that they carry. Most people will comment mainly about the products that they have. My review will comment mainly about their great customer service. My knees have been really bothering me for about a week. It's very painful to walk, but I needed to get some shopping done. Yesterday, as I was hobbling toward the store from the handicap parking spot, a store associate offered to bring me a shopping cart to assist me in my walking. I thanked him and told me that I'm just buying a few things so I didn't need the cart. Inside the store, I went to the aisle where they have peach halves in a jar. Then, I went to the next aisle to pick up dried apricots and other items. They had reorganized part of the store and the dried apricots were not there. Since my knees were hurting, I didn't want to search the store for it's new location. I went to checkout and the clerk asked me how I was doing. I mentioned that my knees were hurting and that they had moved the dried apricots to another location. He asked me how many bags I wanted and sent an associate to get me the dried apricots. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! read more

I've been obsessed with Trader Joe's products since my first year of college (2014). I'm known for making sick mixes, and this new one is my all time favorite. I don't normally write reviews, but with all new items (like the Portuguese Pastel de Nata), I'm worried it will be discontinued within a month's time. Please go out and try the Beefless Bulgogi. Sauté it in a pan with some teriyaki sauce if you're looking for more flavor (I just happened to have this one at home already) with some shredded carrots and leaks or onions. Feel free to add in more veggies like bell peppers. Serve over sushi rice, and drizzle Siracha and/or kewpie mayo. I personally love adding a fried egg (over easy). Can also sprinkle some sesame seeds on top for an Instagram worthy look. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the finished product because we devoured it instantly. Also didn't tell my husband it wasn't real meat until afterwards, and he couldn't believe it! This location also has the most friendliest staff, very mannered customers, and clean bathrooms. read more

Nicest staff in the world works here. Prices are reasonable too, comparing to Safeway and Target. Always love their seasonal items and flowers. Bought my wedding flower bouquets from Trader Joe's - still gorgeous and for a fraction of the cost! Store is always clean. Has high traffic after 5 pm on weekdays and usually on Sundays when college is in session. read more
