This is one of my go to Trader Joe's! I'm a frequent TJs gal, from the fresh veggies, to the frozen meals they make for a quick and easy dinner, or the par prepped proteins that just require a short cooking time really makes for quick and easy dinners. Who can forget their incredible charcuterie section with a vast variety of cheese, and meats to make the perfect board for any occasion. (If you haven't tried the mini Brie bites, grab them, heat them up a little with a drizzle of honey and fresh crack pepper and eat it with a cracker of your choice- you'll love it!) My favorite reason for coming to this location has to be the staff! All of their staff members are always so kind and are always willing to make recommendations based on your needs. One of the only issues I tend to have here are expiration dates. While for many it may not be a big issue, but I always end up only finding yogurts and milk they expire within the week and it makes it a bit tough to purchase for a full week. But when I have the ability to shop for a few days at a time it's great! Other than that the shelves are always stocked and the new items k look to try are always available for me to grab to live our my foodie desires.

Trader Joe's in here is small compared to the other grocery stores but even if it is small, I am contented buying my groceries in here because I am ale to get everything I needed. The store is always clean, well-organized and fully stocked. When the pandemic started, this has been my go-to store and they are top notch on following the protocols and all. the staff in here is friendly and helpful. I always have everything I want in here and there is also unique items. They also have fresh produce although it is limited. I also love their selection of variety of cheese since I love cooking mac and cheese from time to time. The store is convenient for me too because it is just around my place. I am just really glad that I am able to get good quality products in fair and reasonable prices. Garage parking is also available in here and helpful for me because I always brought my car.

I almost never make it out to a Trader Joe's, because there aren't any close to me, but it's a celebration when I do. This is my happy place! All of the employees are helpful and personable. The store is clean and there's always some new item that catches my eye. I can't walk out of here without at least 5 items, even if I only popped in for 1 because I happened to be in the area. The only real downside is that their somewhat regular rotation means a lot of the things I fall in love with get phased out. It had been a few years, so I understand no longer being able to locate the Trader Jacques' mac 'n' cheese with brie. But I was just here a couple weeks back and now they are out of stock of the Trader Joe's blueberry lavender almond milk!

Like everyone else, I waited quite a while for this store to open - hoping that it would bring more…read morechoices in the area (there's actually a lot of grocery options nearby, but the items carried are quite similar). While the opening of this store did bring something different, I'm not sure it was exactly the different that I was hoping for. The big draw of Amazon Fresh is probably in its tech. There's Alexa throughout the store to give you guidance and nice digital signage throughout. This does give the store a more modern feel, though having been to other Amazon Fresh locations, I was hoping that it would feel a bit more futuristic now. However in this regard, Amazon Fresh just feels very similar to whole foods with a bit lower prices and different brand options. In terms of the cart, this is where I wish that it were improved a bit. I'm not sure that the scanning is really significantly better than what they've had in the last few years, which for me makes this process not a smooth and effortless as it could be with even better technology. The initial setup is also still a bit confusing for newcomers who may find the pairing process with the cart a little confusing without someone to point out where to find the links on the interface. Similarly, without a little guidance on the self-checkout process, it can be a bit confusing as well. The food selection here is pretty standard for an Amazon Fresh, which isn't too different from what you'd expect to find at Jewel. There are different pricing levels available, with a lot of the most competitive items being store brand with Prime pricing. Overall selection seems to be quite good in the dry goods and frozen items -- I was a bit disappointed in some of the fresh items as I was hoping for more in-house items in the bakery and a bit larger selection of ready-to-eat items. While they don't have a bad selection, many local grocery stores have a substantial number of cakes, breads, meats, entrees, etc. available to easily pickup and very competitive prices. This alone may keep me from visiting more often as having a variety of these convenient entrees is important for my busy work schedule and fresh bakery items / cakes is important for my busy social schedule. Overall, interesting new option in the area for groceries. While not bad, it doesn't meet my needs as good as I'd hoped at the time of this writing - however the overall store cleanliness, generally competitive prices, and use of newer technologies is something that's still not common at other grocery stores yet.

Ok, so let's get things straight. This is the grand opening. Things are going to be a bit jank. I'm…read morenot deducting points for computer issues or issues with the ambience. Though they are noted. On entry staff greet visitors. I assume this will be normal ongoing activity at least while the store is newer and people are still integrating DashCarts into their lifestyle. Inside of the store is ample space to move even with a high throughput of customers. THROUGHPUT is important here. The store is BUSY but the customer flow is fast and people are quick moving inside. The noise level is above average, Yo Amazon, will ya turn down the ambient music? People are trying to think in here! I can't hear myself think let alone run a register with these noise levels! The self checkout systems are decent though the hardware needs serious work. Touch screens take way too much force to activate. Scan guns don't pick up in store codes easily not for clients nor associates. It doesn't matter who is running the register. These screens and guns need to be calibrated, full stop! Thank goodness the staff here are astonishingly polite and helpful. A staff agent followed us through the entire self checkout and took note of problems with the checkout system. Hopefully these issues will be worked on. Sushi was good and fresh. I'll definitely return for groceries here as long as prices stay competitive and for the love of god. Fix those self checkouts and the scanner guns in general. The whole stores scanners suuuuck

Jewel stores are all over the Chicagoland area. You can find one in almost every town and city…read more This one, in north Arlington Heights is better than most. It's clean and well stocked. Like other Jewels, their produce is very good. Although the selection of varied produce items isn't great, they stock the basics of what you need. If you want a wider variety of fresh produce, you should go to Valli Produce. This store is well laid out making things pretty easy to find. I like their deli counter for their selection of Dietz and Watson cold cuts and their salad selection is large. I don't buy from their bakery often, but have been happy with the quality of baked goods when I have. I have not tried the meat/fish counter at this location so can't speak to that. Like all other Jewels, my big complaint is about their high prices. You can go to Aldi and walk out with similar items for a fraction of what you pay at Jewel. But, for a wide selection, in the Chicagoland area, Jewel can't be beaten.

I have shopped at Jewel for many years, I usually go to the one closer to me by Dundee and Hicks…read more Lately I have been in the area and have gone to this Jewel, it's always fully stocked, rarely out of sale items, and the staff is extremely pleasant and friendly. I will make this my new Jewel even if it is further away. Today while I was checking out, it was busy and the checkout clerk Zach noticed that the bag of avocados was a little light and it looked lite it might have been opened, I was so surprised that he would notice and take the time to make sure I was getting the right amount. Wonderful job Zach, and thank you

I want to give a shout out to Andrea and Chris (I wish I had last names!)…read more You know what it's like when life gets so stressful that you are struggling to find a reason to make it through the day, and then you discover a sweet treat in the international candy aisle of your local Tony's that is like nothing else you've ever eaten, and it becomes your nightly reward for making it through another day? No? Just me? Well, then humor me. I found that treat (and I'm not identifying it because I don't want my store to run out!!) and I stopped in my Tony's Monday morning to get my week's worth, and despite the fact that I hadn't seen the supply dwindle at all in the months I've been eating these treats (so I just assumed I was the only one who bought them,) AND they had literally boxes full of product every time I came to Tony's, my heart SUNK when I saw the empty shelf. Sometimes when life rains, it pours, and life has been pouring on me, and seeing that one of the few things I had to look forward to was gone, broke the camel's back. I headed toward customer service, and saw a woman standing in front of customer service (she may have been supervising the self checkout) and I approached her on the verge of tears and explained that they were out of the only thing that brought me joy, and she said "well then, we will find it." That was Angela. Thank you, Angela!!! Truly, an angel! I was expecting judgment, not kindness. I was hoping they had just moved the candy to a different display or something but Angela looked into it and they were completely out (and when I'd been in less than a week earlier, there was still a LOT of product that was about a year away from expiration, so I guess I'm NOT the only one who finds this item irresistible!) So Angela recruited a very kind gentleman named Chris who got my information, placed an order with the vendor, and barely 24 hours later I got a text from Chris that the product was at the store waiting for me. My experience with "customer service" on a whole lately has been that no one seems to care anymore. Or that people do the absolute minimum that they can get away with. I cannot remember the last time I had a company truly care if I was happy with my shopping experience. Angela could have just told me to "go look for the product at other Tony's stores" or online ... but instead she made sure the item would be available at my preferred store. Chris could have just told me "they'll be in some time next week, come in and look" .... but instead, he texted me to let me know when they arrived, and because I couldn't make it into the store that day, he made sure to set side the quantity I need. Again, these are all such small things in the grand scheme of life, but Joy and kindness are so important and so hard to come by these days. Because of the kindness of Andrea and Chris, I'm able to find little bits of joy at the end of the day, as I work my way through this difficult chapter in my life.

I have to give the deli 10 stars. My mother-in-law passed away last month, and I needed two deli…read moretrays the same day (large extended Italian family stopping in and out the whole weekend leading up to the funeral.)

A good store run by good people.

They have a very nice meat counter where you can get things you don't see in other supermarkets. Their gem, though, it the Taqueria in the back. They make their meals to order and their portions are huge for the money they charge. And, on Tuesdays and Thursday are their three taco specials; you get three enormous tacos and a canned soda. This time, we had a variety of Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Carne Asada. We also ordered a guacamole and chips. Their chips are great. The guacamole was not the best I've had, though.

The tacos were generously topped with fresh cilantro and onions, and the salsa had a really good flavor. The chicharrón taco was decent, although it was served only mildly warm rather than piping hot. The steak taco had good flavor but was a bit dry. I took the chile relleno home and ate it later. While it was filling, I noticed it wasn't prepared with the traditional cheese I typically expect in a chile relleno, which was a little disappointing. Overall, the food was okay for the price and the portions were fair. The salsa was probably my favorite part of the meal. While I wasn't blown away and probably wouldn't go out of my way to return specifically for the tacos, it could be a convenient option if you're already shopping at the market and looking for a quick bite.
