Trader Joe is my spot went here right before the last snow storm, so while it was a zoo, it was extremely organized. They never skip a beat, love their options and prices. Left with great little haul of food and goodies. Service was pleasant as always This location is pretty big and always clean. read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Quality/Quantity - Snack time. RX Blueberry Power Bars. Fruit/snacks - Banana, apples, and persian cucumbers. Ambiance - A small location. Crazy busy. Cool decor as with most TJs. Service - Self service. Thanks for the price scanner, as this location is crazy busy and many things are out of place. And 26 check out registers!! Wow, speaks to the volume of this location. But then 3 lines to the registers can get confusing. Some people just do not know what alternating means... Good thing we are not in a rush. Price - $10. Owner Comment - Congrats on your company's success since 1967 (1958 if you count Pronto Markets). 1979 - Sold to Theo Albrecht, owner of Aldi Nord. 2024 - 569 stores. read more

This Trader Joe's is almost always busy, so be prepared for crowds. It can definitely feel a little overwhelming, especially during peak hours. The staff is consistently kind and helpful, and one thing they do really well is keeping the checkout lines moving. They have plenty of cashiers open, so even when the store is packed, you're usually in and out faster than you'd expect. As always, Trader Joe's has so many unique products that are worth picking up, from seasonal favorites to snacks you can't really find anywhere else. The location is also a plus since it's easy to combine your grocery run with shopping or grabbing a bite nearby. read more

Trader Joe's at this location in Brooklyn is where I used to go with my friend Denise. She's not a Yelper. I miss her so and I miss going to any Trader Joe's location. I'm enjoying so many of my Trader Joe's Birthday gifts. Today I had the White Truffle potato chips for my afternoon snack. I'm calorie cramming trying to gain weight. These chips are so delicious I could eat the whole bag. I ate a big bowl. Get them. I recommend you be grateful if you have a Trader Joe's near your apartment or home. I don't! read more

Norm on "Cheers" famously mocked a guy for spending 11 hours at the bar, and there's some of that energy with the current spate of "my panicked pre-snow grocery trip is pragmatic, yours is foolish." Yet as a Dekalb fanatic who often stops by, I don't mind pointing out the surprising depletion of fennel and samosa burritos in advance of the one-day storm. It's not exactly 30 Days of Night. My own paranoid weather-related purchase was vanilla cardamom cold brew. I feel reasonably alert after imbibing. The shelves were emptier than usual but the workers were superb, as always. And even before the "storm of the century" lines were shorter than at Manhattan branches. read more

When I entered Trader Joe's, I was invited by what felt like a stampede of people, moving their carts in several directions, feeling like my own personal game of Crossy Road. What level did I get to in the Trader Joe's round of one of my favorite childhood games? Probably around Level 6, before my leg was met with a cart and its determined-to-get-out-of-here driver (and honestly I don't blame her). Because the cart's bottom tier sits 6 1/2 inches more forward than the top cart, the main impact was in my shin, which is my leg's funny bone. While I admire the two tiered shopping cart design because it reminds me of bunk beds and summer camps and I find the idea that my groceries are tucked into their Trader Joe's bunks very cute, the bottom bunk normally doesn't sit 6 1/2 inches forward, all four pillars of the bed are aligned. Trader Joe's, I love your rolled corn tortilla chip Taki snacks and your friendly staff and I know I'm nitpicking, but these carts are dangerous. read more

Wow talk about night and day! This location is way better than the Court street location. The aisles are more spacious and they are labeled to specify the content of each aisle. My coworkers got me a gift card as a birthday gift so I managed to purchase pasta sauce, a bag of pasta, and Maple corn kettle popcorn for under $10. The checkout lines were sort of long but moved quickly. There's an employee overseeing the lines to direct the next person in line to a specific checkout counter. I will return here in the near future to grab some body scrub, cereal, pasta, etc. read more

Extremely disorganized and messy- so much so that their manager yells at people for going to the wrong register, after being flagged by the cashier to come over. No apology, nothing. When you wait in line they send other people in front of you that have crept into parallel lines. Extremely disappointing because Trader Joe's has always been my favorite grocery store. read more

I don't do traders joes that often. Probably a few times a year but it's always a seamless experience. I take my backpack and a tote or two and pick up whatever items I need. I usually create a list cause if not I'll come home with all kinds of thangs! I do have a few go-tos! I'm obsessed with their coconut water, frozen dumplings. I love picking up cheeses and cured meats and crackers for late night snacking. And my dad is obsessed with their sardines, tuna and canned pink salmon. I also enjoy their seasonal sparkling beverages. The honey crisp apple drink is not too sweet and has light bubbles. I also love Trader Joe's for gifting myself a bouquet of flowers. They're reasonable in price and sometimes a bye a few and create a larger more opulent bouquet. I also like their eucalyptus even though I think they could be a lil strangely lol It would be nice if the bundle were a little fuller but the checkout experience is always well organized and speedy! The service of the staff is always kind and attentive. read more

A Trader Joe's attached to the Dekalb Market Hall...perfection! After dinner we popped inside and grabbed a few goodies to take to our hotel for the week. This TJ's was packed! What impressed me most was the line management...the staff had us moving like a smooth, human conveyor belt! We were in and out in no time, despite it appearing like it would be forever in line. Friendly checkout staff as well as those on the floor who helped us locate our must have items. read more

This Trader Joe's is located in Dekalb Hall, and it was packed when I entered. The store was a nice size, but it was the weekend, so everyone was out shopping. The store was very clean and organized, and the staff was nice. I love seeing different Trader Joe's in different states to see the layout and the items they carry. read more

Interesting variety of goods but can be very crowded especially towards the weekend. From everyday groceries to unique store items from frozen to almost ready to eat, you can find it here at Trader Joe's. read more

Thank heaven for Trader Joe's when you are traveling! You'll find great food options, packaged for small meals, at the always-great TJ prices - even in downtown Brooklyn, The checkout experience here is crazy and confusing, but I'm sure there's a reason that it's set up the way it is. The lines definitely moved quickly! read more

Who doesn't love Trader Joe's?! This location is in the heart of downtown Brooklyn and the closest to where I live. It's always busy so if you can plan ahead, try to go on off peak hours like weekdays before 5pm. The workers are all helpful and the cashiers are efficient. The vibe is like all other Trader Joe's .... a good time!!! read more

Although set in the basement, this TJ's is quick, efficient, and really well located for me. It's usually busy in the normal busy times, but within the first hour of opening, it is super peaceful and civil to shop in. Regardless, the line moves fast, and the workers have that characteristic TJ's patience and charm. I highly recommend this location if it's convenient for you. No need to go to Court St or the awful ones in Manhattan. read more

Employees at this location are rude. Prefer to go to the one on Court Street. They are polite and helpful there.

I love it here the cashiers are so nice. They recognize my family and I and they're so sweet. The food is delicious and the vibes inside the store are elite thank you read more

I love Trader Joe's but my friend had never been to one before. Naturally, we had to rectify this egregious oversight immediately (BEGONE TJ virginity!!). So there we were, marching into TJ's, ready to explore and grab a couple of items. First off, the frozen food selection is a lifesaver. Can we take a moment to appreciate how thankful college students should be that this place exists? Seriously, this is the unofficial cafeteria for half my friends. Need a meal? Trader Joe's. Need a snack? Trader Joe's. Need to procrastinate on homework? Trader Joe's. Now, this particular location is pretty busy, which makes sense because it's a mecca of affordable, delicious food. The place was buzzing with people, all on their own grocery quests. It was like a scene from a supermarket safari, but instead of hunting wild animals, we were all hunting for Mandarin Orange Chicken and Cookie Butter. So, if you haven't yet experienced the magic of Trader Joe's, do yourself a favor and go. Your taste buds and wallet will thank you. And if you're bringing a newbie, be prepared for their mind to be blown! read more

This is the best Trader Joe's because the lines are not always insane. Sometimes you can go right through and make a purchase! Love the "Turkey Apple Cheddar" sandwich here and there are tables out front to sit and have lunch or dinner. read more

I am a Trader Joe's fan. I have to go to tj at least once a month to fix my snacks cravings and explore their new products. This one at Gold street is one of my frequent places. I am very glad that I got peanut butter and jelly duokit at this branch. Only three boxes left. I took it all. Lol I finally get to try this famous peanut butter brookie. It is insanely delicious. Top part is peanut butter cookies. The combo is complement to each other. Not overly sweet. It goes really well with black coffee. Please grab this when you go to tj. The services are great as usual tj's signature. It is located at the basement of the mall with other restaurants. Definitely worth to check this out. read more

This Trader Joe is located inside the mall, if you are taking a train it is Q, B or R Dekalb ave station. The store has a large variety of food : vegetables, salads, fruit, dairy, cheese, meat , frozen foods, fish, smoked fish, condiments, prepared foods, canned food, drinks etc.etc. My favorite is the salad and vegetable section, frozen fish, smoked fish and others. It is crowded but they manage the line very well. read more

It's Trader's Joe. Just like their other locations, they have the same stuff except I feel that this location has less cheese options. I found mini Brie bites, though. They're 4 for $5.99. So tempting. I bought them and ate two as soon as I got home. This location is in city point! You have to go in Dekalb market and downstairs to find it. The lines are always long but they move really fast. The place is clean and everything is displayed so well, makes me want to buy everything! read more

I truly like this Traders Joe's the location is great on account I can an Lyft etc with no problem. I like the can goods the best purchased Tuna, olives, sardines, anchovies etc. I also purchase some produce tomatoes, Cherries,cucumbers, apples all very fresh. This purchases here are very economical for the family. read more

Of all the Trader Joe's this one is my least favorite (it's below ground in a shopping center) and I still think quite highly of it. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and I always feel comfortable asking them for help or just to chat about a product. Shout out to Peter for explaining the difference between all their eggs! Brown eggs versus white eggs are based on the chicken's earlobes- fascinating! I do have to detract a star for their lackluster produce section- the quality just isn't there. I could not find satisfactory zucchini, snap peas and asparagus. They did not have the peanut butter filled pretzels in stock and even more saddening, they didn't know when they would have it back. Bathrooms were clean and water fountains were functioning. Close to a ton of different public transit options! Prices are overall reasonable for most items. Another shoutout to my cashier Kelly who greeted me with a smile and chatted about fun topics while my groceries were being checked out, thanks for bringing joy to something mundane! read more

I prefer this Trader Joe's over the one in Cobble Hill. On the weekends, I noticed that one always has a line outside. This Trader Joe's is conveniently located next to the Dekalb (B,Q,R) train station. Even though it was crowded on Sunday morning, I didn't wait long on the checkout line. The shelves are always fully stocked. My favorite item to get is the bag of frozen organic fruits ($2.79). It is cheaper than KeyFood and Stop and Shop even when it's on sale. I will be coming here going forward. read more

Love this location! Shop there most times if not at the court street location. It usually has most of what l go there to shop for. I enjoy shopping at Trader Joe's & my friends say I'm addicted lol. I like their products & the positive energy at TJS. Service is on point. Love the fact you can return their products if not satisfied with what you purchase. Unique. I hardly return anything lol. Most of their staff are super helpful and always polite! I love the vibes at this 2 locations in Brooklyn and return to shop sometimes twice a week. I enjoy their salad kits, spicy chai latte, vegan ice cream and so much more! I'm addicted! read more

This location is always super busy and packed. Sometimes, there can be a line down the aisles to cash out. The store is well-lit and spacious. They constantly have people stocking the shelves. A few times, things will be out but there is always someone willing to go and check in the back. I usually come for the basics such as my favorite frozen items. It's sometimes worth the wait! read more

I've been to TJs a lot let me tell ya and the music isn't something I usually notice, but this day the music was on point! The lines were kind of long, but moving steady. When I got to the front I think one of the managers behind the counter, named Mia was jamming, feeling the music and giving off really good energy as she was helping customers with questions. She was extremely helpful with my recent TJs especially with recommendations! Just felt nice to see :) read more

This location gets very crowded but they get through very quickly. I know this location restocks every day and throughout the day which makes it difficult to walk though as the employees are pushing around carts of items to stack. Overall go in anticipation of waiting in line to pay. read more

This is a nearby Trader Joe's that I went to a lot. It's pretty hidden that is underground floor. The first time I spent a few minutes to figure out the right entrance. It's located next to a food court. So it's very convenient overall. This store has a pretty decent amount of inventory that I don't need to worry 'out of stock' situations like I experienced in their other locations such as Manhattan. Staff is very well trained, fast, and friendly. Love the vibe here. My favorite food is the soy milk, and grapes. read more

Trader Joe's never disappoints in my opinion. Yes as you can expect, it gets crazy busy at popular times aka the checkout lines can be long. They have done their best to mitigate and there's literally a conductor on a step stool monitoring which cashier is ready to tell the next customer so it moves as fast as it can. They have everything you'd want at a TJ's: when you walk in it's the floral section, then produce, then prepared foods, frozen, chips, home then meat and beverages. It's in the basement of the Dekalb center within the food hall fyi so if you're hungry grab a bite before or after shopping!! read more

This Trader Joe's was more well organized and had better service than the ones in the city

The service was terrible, one of the crew members were very rude and disrespectful to me

This is my go-to TJ's and I believe the most efficient-costumer service of all the TJ's in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Unlike many TJ's, this store has three lines to checkout and the TJ workers pay attention to customers' questions and shopping experience. During rush hours (1-3pm & 7-9pm) there are twenty-plus Checkout Cashiers humming like a fine-oiled machine. The store is located in the food-court basement of Dekalb Mall, next to Katz's Deli. So if shoppers need a break from shopping at TJ, they can relax and sample all the different food stations, from Pizza to Ramen noodles to Jerked chicken. read more

I frequent this Trader Joe's often because it's so convenient to many subway stations. I have to give this location a huge shoutout because they've taken extra precaution with the cleanliness of the establishment since Covid-19. I like to come right when they open at 9 am to avoid long lines and crowds. They have signs for senior hours from 8:00-9:00 AM, but I was able to stroll right on in at 8:50 AM. Customers now have to pack their own groceries to avoid excess contact with cashiers. They also have protective plexi glass for extra protection. Staff here are always extra friendly, which makes the shopping experience much more pleasant! read more

Trader Joe's - Floors being deep cleaned - Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love this location of TJ's and shop here for most.. if not for all of my groceries. During the weekends (particularly Sundays) and Mondays (if its a holiday) you can find the shelves mostly empty and long check out lines. I've been visting this TJ's since the covid era and the check out line process has always remained consistent. The staff is almost always friendly and efficient. The store is always clean and well kept. I have finally found the times that work for me to visit the store so that I'm able to purchase fully stocked goods and not have to wait long in line (not that I've ever experienced extremely long wait times) I really enjoy TJ's products and the pricing is very affordable. My rule of thumb is to always shop with a list and to know the layout of the store that way your experience is more efficient, because it does become hectic a lot of the time. read more

It's become part of our ritual to come here since its opening in 2017 to buy fruits, snacks, and drinks whenever we visited Brooklyn and stayed at the hotels nearby. The familiar TJ standard store layout made it easy for us to find what we needed quickly. The staff were unfailingly friendly and courteous, ensuring pleasant shopping experience. For us visiting from California, the pace at this store felt like it's on steroid, especially on busy Sundays. With a clerk perched high up to direct customer traffic to the nearly 30 check out stations, the choreography of this amazingly efficient checkout system was a sight to behold. read more

One of the smaller Trader Joe's, located underground, in the Brooklyn Plaza/food court. Small space, so the store feels very crowded. Felt stressed shopping here, pushed around by overzealous customers and super efficient staff. A lot of noise and movement. I took my time studying items, de-stressing with my grocery shopping, however, all the frenzy made me feel rushed and stressed. Staff members at checkout are super quick. Staff members who were unpacking boxes of frozen foods, made very loud grunting sounds, rushing from isle to isle, creating more chaos. Felt like there was not a second without noise, movement, and hustle. Try to come here during slow hours (morning and weekdays, when not as many customers are rushing to make their purchases). A restroom is available inside the store (but the line is insane, so just go outside Trader Joe's, to a public restroom a few feet away from the store entrance). Some items that are on sale do not check out as sale items, so don't be afraid to ask the cashier for a price check to get your items for the correct price. read more
