We don't do much shopping at Trader Joe's. Most of our weekly staples come from Aldi. We just happened to be driving by and decided to stop in to check it out. The place was mobbed. Lots of shoppers, and lots of staff stocking shelves and checking people out. They have many interesting packaged foods, gourmet items, produce, and wine. However, there wasn't much to offer in the fresh meat area. I couldn't find any pork roasts, for example. I know people really love their Trader Joe's, but for us it doesn't quite cover enough of the items we typically buy at our usual stores. And for the items that do overlap, the prices are higher than what we usually pay at Aldi. read more

Woah! I've never been here with it this busy! Usually I pop in randomly during an early morning or weekday but stopped in on a Sunday afternoon! With all registers open though the checkout process was smooth. I popped in to grab the items for the viral Dumpling Bake recipe while out running Birthday Reward errands- shared this with my checkout attendant and he was super nice and tossed in a small bouquet of flowers as a little bday add-on from Trader Joe's! Unexpected and made my day. Also if you haven't tried the dumpling bake make it! I recommend going with the chicken gyoza (healthier lower calorie/sodium option) and reduced fat coconut milk. Add in a full bag of spinach and also a bag of stir fry veggies! read more

Stopped in for a few items while in town on business. I am a fan of the TJ yogurts and probiotic drinks. They had a few other goodies that are perfect when I travel: RX bars, Cliff bars, dried fruit, yogurt pretzels and can never turn down freeze dried watermelon candy. It was the end of then evening and a lot of the salads were already sold out. But they had chicken salad and were able to get some pita chips for the perfect quick and easy to pack lunch. Staff were friendly and helpful. I haven't been to this location in a long time so happy it's easy to get into and has all the great items. read more

Mocha Latte Pretzels: These pretzels are marketed by Trader Joe's and I believe they were introduced in 2024. Each pretzel is enveloped by a velvety white candy coating that adds a light vanilla flavor along with some sweetness. Tiny specks can be seen teeming within the candy coating and are actually ground coffee beans, which contribute the coffee flavor. Topping everything off is a dark chocolatey drizzle. I'm not a fan of dark chocolate and was concerned these would be overly bitter, but the sweet vanilla coating nicely balances out the dark chocolate and coffee flavors. For me, the coffee flavor was most noticeable in the aftertaste. Being pretzels, they also have a satisfying crunch and fantastic sweet and salty combo. I ate mine on their own, but Trader Joe's suggests crumbling them over vanilla bean yogurt, tossing them onto ice cream, or mixing with popcorn. If you're a fan of coffee like me, then you will love these pretzels. Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews read more

Granted we only have two around the city - this location is my favorite! The shelves are always stocked, the employees can offer great wine recommendations (Moxie is amazing - a wine under $6 and exactly how a dry red should be), and the cashier's always make conversation. read more

Love this Trader Joe's, well organized and consistently well stocked. The staff is always friendly and welcoming every visit which makes stopping in a pleasure. read more

Always great customer service. The workers checked if they had something in stock or if the season was over. I love getting my snacks from here like ketchup chips. They always have some crazy flavor to try. read more

Snacks are sometimes flavorless. Especially this one. It was like Styrofoam with a little salt not what was on the package. read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

The staff at this location is always very friendly and willing to help when you're searching for your grocery/household items. It's always pretty well stocked and I never really have an issue finding what I need. The store front is always clean and feels welcoming. read more

Trader Joe's is always a solid shopping experience, even when super busy. Sometimes, the greatest challenge can be the parking lot but aside from that they typically have what I need in stock. If I can't find something, I can always ask a staff member. Additionally, the check out lines are efficient and move steadily. What I love about TJ's is their quality of produce, their large selection of easy to prep noshes and heat up meals, the quality of meats in their meat section, a wide variety of unique snacks, and their selection of beer, wine and liquor in a pinch. Lastly, what seals it for me is their fun rotation of seasonal items and snackies. A bonus is their $1.00 greeting cards that make for a fun surprise to send a friend. All in all, TJ's is a solid shopping choice. read more

This location is so much more organized and well stocked than the Glendale location. There are a handful of items I wanted that I thought were discontinued (because TJ's loves to discontinue items), because I hadn't seen them in weeks in Glendale, and I found them fully stocked at this location. This one is also not as chaotic as the other one. read more

Grocery shopping can be so overwhelming at times and I love the fact that Trader Joes only has a set number of products. I can find what I'm looking for, and there is always staff on the floor in case you need help. Always clean and organized, I've had a few employees, while stocking suggest a new product, and it was always a fantastic suggestion. read more

This is a great Trader Joe's that's a bit farther from the one I usually go to when I'm visiting home but I think it's way bigger and a lot easier to access. We were able to find exactly what we needed and got help looking for some specialty items. read more

Awesome Trader Joe's! They are always good about stocking items right away and everyone is super nice in there. I love coming here!

Cannot stress how nice and helpful the staff and management at this location were. They had helped me by saving some cereal I really like. Have always found this location great but their kindness and understanding this time surpassed anything I could have hoped for. Highly recommend this store. read more

Love shopping at this Trader Joe's location! The parking lot is big with plenty of cart returns. The store is always clean and well stocked. I always look forward to finding some new treats when I'm there. The employees are friendly and always helpful. There are a few items I have found very close to expiration , so as with any store always check labels. Overall a wonderful grocery store! read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

Trader Joe's is pretty much the same where ever you go and I think that is one of the reasons it is so popular everywhere. I dropped in on a weekday afternoon and was surprised that it was as packed as if it were a weekend. After playing walking twister for a bit with far too many strangers, I had the most forced interaction with the cashier. Way too many too personal questions (I said I had just moved to the area and was asked what part of the town I live in) and just seemed very disingenuous. Small talk is a part of their job but asking a stranger what area of a smaller town they live in is weird. I have not gone to TJ's very often over the past 5-7 years and as we ate what I had picked up we found the quality had gone down. Go for the $1 cards, Shiner Bock, and the baking mixes. At 8 am since apparently people don't work around here. They are the only place I have found Shiner Bock, which is what got them the third star. read more

Love Trader Joe's so much!! The cashiers are always so friendly and helpful at this location.

The checker discussed the store and recommended we double up on pepper jelly. He told us several ways he eats it.

I wish they had more employees to help get the lines through here faster. There is almost always a line (except rare off hour times) and it usually trails out to the street (25 people). Then, there is the line to check out. That being said, you can hit the place during off hours and at least not wait in one of the lines as long. However, for all of their precautions, I watched as they allowed a boomer stroll in without a mask who then also cut the grocery line. I don't feel as comfortable when they don't enforce their own guidelines. read more

Cool place to go to. Neat and many healthy food. Wish there's more TJ around Milwaukee.

Of the 2 Trader Joe's in the greater Milwaukee area, this one is the bigger one. With the exception of it being bigger (and more packed on a Saturday afternoon than I've become used to in the Bayshore location), there is really no difference between the two, as far as the items on sale and the price. With the bigger space, things seem to be displayed better.... but being used to the Bayshore location, I had a hard time finding stuff. But that's just me! This place is the clean and great Trader Joe's we all know and love. (I do like that the Trader Joe's at Bayshore seems less packed. it's always nicer to shop with less cart bumping and screaming children.) read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Brookfield, Wisconsin

Family friendly grocery store outing for you and your kids, where each of you can have your own cart and pick up unique fresh and packaged food offerings. Don't forget to stop at the sample bar for a taste of the newest store offerings. And if there is something you were thinking about buying but not sure, ask any of the fun employees in a Hawaiian shirt for a sample. Definitely our go to spot for sushi, balela salad, wine and cheese. They have fun items to give as hostess gifts from fresh flowers, to cookies to dark chocolate espresso beans. And if you have never tried Speculoos Cookie Butter you haven't lived - I can eat this stuff by the spoonful! Their Himalayan pink salt crystals is the only salt we use and the sea salt caramels are to die for! Did your kids find the lemur? Make sure you let an employee know before you leave for a special treat. The checkers are friendly, fast and always ask you how your day is going. Ask them if you can ring the bell, I'm certain they will oblige. read more

This Trader Joe's is one of my favorite places to go. Everyone there is so incredibly friendly and helpful and those who work there always have great recommendations on what to buy. I feel very safe being in Trader Joe's during a pandemic, as they do very well in limiting their capacity and cleaning the store. Social distancing is enforced while waiting in line and there are dots to stand on while waiting for your purchase to be rung up. This is my favorite location and it's in the perfect place to pop over to Target in the same trip! read more

I've never really considered writing a Yelp review for a grocery store before, but TJoe's tends to be a favorite at baseline. And then they did something that has just made me love them more. I'm a frontline health care worker during this COVID-19 pandemic. A couple weeks ago, this Trader Joe's location brought bags of goodies from oatmeal to Cliff bars to trail mix. It was such a welcome surprise and incredibly thoughtful! I've been shopping here during the pandemic as well, and I am extremely impressed with their precautions! There has been a wait, but everyone is kind and friendly that I don't mind. Thank you, Trader Joe's! read more

This is probably my favorite grocery store of all times. Upbeat funky music piped outside and inside which makes you feel happy about your shopping experience. Always eager and friendly staff ready to help as they rotate jobs throughout their shifts so it's always a different experience for both the customer and the employee I am unsure how we lived all these years without them! Extensive imported , Organic, and vegan options and easy in and out. Amazing how a small store holds so much variety. I was having a bad day and an employee got me a bouquet of flowers (complimentary) which is another store policy to help improve a customers day ! Who knew?! Love the seasonal items but then sad when they're gone or no longer popular and go away. read more

I need more of this TJ just has more of what I want that you won't find at other big box grocers in the area, especially veggie items in the frozen area. Sweet potato and cauliflower gnocchi? Check! Awesme produce, breads, snacks and everything else. Prices are reasonable and it's easy to get in and out by stopping at non-peak times. read more

Don't shop there with a shopping list. They'll be out of lots of things that you need because they only have one supplier for each item. They pretty much tell you tough luck because their truck to store. They also gaslight you by telling you certain things are only seasonal such as cream of mushroom soup, really? The funny thing is if you go in and ask for something like coconut oil they'll tell you it'll be in again in a month. Okay I'll wait that long for some. You are also held hostage by the pseudohipster managers that think it's really cool to play 70s disco music at at at full volume when you shop there at night. Oh, and the manager doesn't like Christmas music so you are not allowed to hear it when you shop there during the season. All the little things add up to a bad shopping experience. read more

This store has been open for about a year now on the edge of Tosa on the way to Brookfield/ Waukesha. Came to search out some of my old favorites and to find some new stuff to try. This location is larger and easier to navigate even with a cart. The last TJ was at was in Naples. What a major change people under 80 that are fast the new cheddar horse radish rippled potato chips are a thumbs up. My old favorites are hummus, pitas, corn chips, kafir lime cashews, wasabi peas, stockyard oatmeal stout beer, dried apricots, banana chips. an over all great experience compared to the 2 other Trader Joe's that I have been to. read more

I have developed my plan of attack for this place. I start as a plain canvas and go with nothing in mind so I can stroll the isles until I find items that I just don't see anywhere else. This is such a unique place that has food items from every style of restaurant you can think of to make at home, yah most of it is frozen but it works. Today I walked away with Greek and Mexican items. Overall I have to come here every once in a while and just to try new items and it's nice to have this store. read more

I try to make a Trader Joe's stop once every 2 weeks or more if I'm in the area. They are always coming out with new and seasonal items. The seasonal items can sell out quick. I recommend stocking up or calling ahead if you're eyeing a particular popular item. I'm looking at you butternut squash mac & cheese and black truffle alfredo sauce. Trader Joes in house brand has so many unique finds. You can find the absolute best frozen meals. I recommend the palak paneer, mexican style corn, truffle mushroom flatbread, and cauliflower gnocchi just to list a few. Lets not forget about their wine and cheese selection. Trader Joe's is my go to place when I'm having a wine & cheese night. You can find a wine priced for any occasion. Their employees are extremely helpful and friendly. If you're unsure of an item, ask an employee and they will be able to either give you their own experience or open the item to taste test. Their customer service is truly amazing. read more

Polite employees, great customer service. Great space between the aisles. Way better than the Madison location but not as good as the Pasadena location. I grew up 2 blocks from that store and it is still the best store of all of them. One big complaint...the bathroom situation. Twice while I have been there, the bathrooms were completely occupied by employees. Do the employees not have their own restrooms? I don't believe it is fair to the customers or the employees to have to share the bathrooms. Please rectify this. read more

So glad Trader Joe's has moved into the Milwaukee area, now with this (second) store on the border of Tosa and Brookfield. Love their specialty items, wine selections and my favorite, cooked/frozen steel cut oatmeal with just a hint of brown sugar and molasses, packaged in a box with two servings for less than two dollars. It is the best oatmeal I've ever eaten. read more

Love Trader Joe's! I read an article basically stating that the private label Trader Joe's brand was really higher end products in disguise but at a lower price! Who doesn't love that. Their chicken brats/sausages are really good. I recently tried the jalapeno (a little kick, not too crazy) and spinach feta. Even though I usually stay away from pre-cooked, the ingredients on the package tell me that they are pretty good without a bunch of filler. Grab some flavored Greek yogurt dipping sauce close by! I like their boxed soups, too. Really good with a little bit of cayenne and/or basil flakes and finished with sour cream/greek yogurt or maybe some cheese. Their pizzas are good! Great chip and bread selection. Great things will be found in the freezer section such as fresh, frozen basil & garlic, spanakopita, fish, bigger bags of veggies than Mr. Grocery Store. And the WINE!!! :) They now have some private label beers. The "Light Mexican" was really good with a pinch of lime. Wonder who's bottling that. Yet to try the T.J. brand darker beer... it's chillin in the fridge as we speak! read more

Wow...rude. The cashier must think she's a queen or something. We're all wearing our masks, there is a plexiglass shield, separating me from the queen, and I get scolded for looking at the candy bars in front of the register with her scolding me " You must wait back there until I am done." Uh...freaky. I get treated with more courtesy at Aldi, oh wait, also originally owned by Albrecht Discounts. read more

I love Trader Joes, everything is so fresh and delicious. I wish they opened up a new store by Waterford because I have to drive 35 minutes to get to Brookfield because there is no clean food available. Please open up a TJ in Mukwanago right next to the YMCA because it will get so much business, people will go in before and after their workouts, plus the community in general. read more

A euphoric shoppiing experience in the midst of the virus. I've never experienced such amazing customer er device - wish this is the only store I would shop at if I could. You guys rock!! B read more

SOOOO glad this location opened! I fell in love with TJ's when I first visited one in Arizona. The quirkiness of the store is what got me, along with the unique types of food they offered. Over the years, there have been disappointments, not gonna lie. First, they discontinued the Chinese mustard wonton chips, then the pineapple juice, then, the nail in the coffin, the chocolate covered raspberry sticks. I was devastated and thought that my TJ shopping days were behind me. But then, miracle of miracles, they brought the raspberry sticks back! Life was good again! I've since expanded my palette to include the Indian simmer sauces, the Thai green curry sauce, the Cowboy Caviar salsa, coconut cookies, chocolate truffles and pretty much anything ethnic in the frozen foods section. Thank you, Trader Joe's, for expanding my culinary horizons and giving me a grocery shopping experience that feels like a tour instead of a chore! 61/2014 read more

Oh Joe (aka Trader Joe's), I will drive many miles for your goodness (or, in this case, 5 or so miles out to Brookfield). Trader Joe's is one of my favorite stores around--fun, delicious goods at incredibly reasonable prices? I'm. All. In. And, hey--no artificial colors, flavors, GMOs, MSG, preservatives, or trans fat? Yes, please and thank you. A few of my favorite (Trader Joe's) things: +Dried, unsweetened mangos. Some of the best around. +Ginger brew. The Trader Joe's brand ginger brew (they specifically call it "Ginger Brew," not really sure the difference between that and ginger beer, but they taste remarkably similar) has just the right amount of ginger heat and is wonderfully refreshing. +Their chocolate peanut butter cups. I mean...there's chocolate, there's peanut butter. What's not to love? But, truly, Trader Joe's chocolate peanut butter cups are very much a cut above. +Sweetened, crystalized ginger. It doesn't last long in my house. Why? Because, it's just. that. good! The service is always friendly and efficient and every time I've been in, it's been impeccably clean. They're produce section is somewhat limited and I do wish they carried more varieties of local cheese (I'm a little cheese obsessed). But, then again, they're not the biggest grocery stores around. They're small, but mighty. Get to it! read more
