I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's! The portion sizes they sell are perfect for me as I am able to usually finish whatever I buy from here in about 1-3 days. Some things I absolutely love buying from here, include: - ube ice cream (when in season) -organic elote corn chip dippers w/ seasoning -pork soup dumplings -Mac & cheese balls -fromage pavé -dark chocolate PB cups -tiny avocados -elote dip -pizza dough The prices are very friendly and most things here are a hit! We visited this location after walking around the Shoppers World plaza down the street & were not disappointed. They had everything we wanted to grab, in stock ;) Check out was quick per usual & have no complaints at all for this location! Lots of parking available. read more

Nice little store. A lot of European style food , staff is friendly and always fast so no lines in here. And the chocolate babka is definitely worth driving ! read more

" Great Place " I love Trader Joe's . This location is no exception. It's clean . It is fully stocked . Graceful employees helping you with anything you need . They always go above and beyond. The food is just always on point . I went to this location because I went to visit the eye doctor next door . I definitely will be back here when in the area . They have a big lot they share with other vendors ; so parking is not an issue . read more

I always shop at TJs and this location is close to me. The staff is always super friendly and helpful when you interact with them. The layout is like a typical Trader Joe's cute and cozy. It does get busy on weekends so if you're trying to avoid crowds it's nice to go at night after dinner when the rush is less crazy. read more

This is my family's go-to place for good quality food. There are so many options and so many new things that I get overwhelmed each time I go-it's great. Usually it's pretty busy, but since service is fast, you get all your stuff checked out quickly and you're on your way. There's also little finding games for kids. I decided to find rocky and I found him. He's near the bread section, go find him yourself if you'd like. read more

Probably the smallest Trader Joe's I've ever been to. It's so cute and even if it's small, they had what I needed. Store was organized. Staff friendly. read more

Everything is as perfectly TJ fabulous in this store as it can possibly be considering the space is too damn small. Aggravatingly small. Up your wazoo small. I try to shop and stock up on pkgd necessities so I only need to visit a few times a year. That means I don't come here for fresh, which to be perfectly honest suits me bc their old style open refrigerators don't keep dairy prod as cold as is necessary particularly in warm weather and their dairy prods suffer. I'll say no more except - TJs pls update this. Next is parking. Small lot. Small spaces. Many trucks and SUVs and ppl walking willynilly all over the place. Backing out is very very dicey. Btw there's a big BIG empty office supply space right next door. Perfect to expand and update a store AND parking that desperately needs expansion. I'm hoping TJs ownership is considering this bc since the (thank goodness!!!) control of the pandemic, shopping is off the charts busybusy, lots more shoppers and carts and much less space. read more

One of the better managed grocery stores I've been to in the area. This TJ's has managed to keep prices and quality steady while other grocery stores have succumbed to greedflation, (Stop n shop and Roche Bros i'm looking at you). While most of the boston area Whole Foods have had a huge drop in variety and quality, prices at TJ's are mostly what they were 3 years ago and the products are the same or better. read more

Trader Joe's Always has beautiful roses available on Valentine's day! And they Never overcharge for roses, even on Valentine's day! They never disappoint!! A beautiful fresh bouquet of roses typically cost less than a $1/rose! You'll never find a better deal! read more

Im an avid trader Joe's fan through and through but it was my first time at this location. I was visiting from our of town and looking to get some challah. I was told that the shipment had not come in today, yet Mark went above and beyond to help me. He coordinated with his team to assure that there wasnt any challah hiding in the back, meanwhile he called 3 separate local stores to check their inventories and made sure that they placed challah on hold for me. Marks level of professionalism, ability to delegate to the team, and eagerness to help surpassed any and all expectations I had. Thank you Mark!!! read more

This store is large compared to other Trader Joe's I've visited and the shelves are always well stocked. The prices are very good, but the quality of the products, especially their frozen appetizers and meals, are sub-par. read more

Clean, organized and helpful staff and excellent products. Shelves stacked products excellent.

I've been shopping here regularly for 10+ yrs. They sell almost everything that I have to buy. I've never bought personal / health/cleaning supplies. I do that online. I recently bought a plant; it's been on my list(s). It was the 1st item I consciously saw. She's beautiful. read more

Trader Joe's - Fern from Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

I have yet to find a Trader Joe's I didn't love, and this one was no exception! I really have to remember to pack an extra bag or better yet, suitcase on all my trips where Trader Joe's are located! Sadly on this trip my hotel room did not have a fridge, so I couldn't stock up on any perishables for breakfast and snacks. But I made up for it but buying lots of chocolates (campfire s'mores!!), cookies, dried fruits, beef jerky, nuts, and crackers. Of course I had to buy their oatmeal and honey soap bars, tea tree conditioner and shampoo, and almond blend body oil. Of course ALL of the stuff was not just for me...I gave away 2 things. Luckily I was able to reorganize my luggage at the airport to meet the 50 pound weight limit per bag! Phew! read more

Nicole, Ben, Bethy and the nicest guy with a cool pony tail showed six out of five service and were restocking the shelves incredibly quickly! I feel lucky to have been chased down by Nicole when she found out that my favorite Southwest and Mediterranean salads were available again! Ben also complimented my reusable bag choice, the one that looks like a TJs paper bag. I'm excited to try the coffee minicones next time :) as always the soup dumplings either chicken or pork and their samosas are such a classic. Again, huge shout out to the four best workers I've seen all week!! read more

Everything is stocked so no need to ask for where something is. When help is asked for it is spot on. Just needed a handful of goodies so it wasn't a long wait to get inside and pay and be out of there, parking can be a tad tough, but just breathe and you'll get in and out! read more

I have already reviewed Trader Joe's at a different location. But today I was compelled to appreciate this store because they are extremely careful about COVID safety. A queue outside the store to limit the number of people in the store, very active and busy staff to handle the queue and clean the carts, looks like they have constructed their own roof outside the store to protect the people in queue from sun. They take good care of their customers for sure. read more

I have over the last few years been buying more and more Italian red wines at Trader Joe's: Chiantis, Valpolicellas and other Sangiovese type wines, I have found the price to quality ratio extraordinarily good. Their wines priced at $4.99 and $5.99 a bottle are better in quality than most wines I have purchased elsewhere for considerably more money. They also carry a nice but limited selection of foreign and domestic beers which also seem to be priced very inexpensively. Traders Joe's value and selection of good wine and beer at reasonable prices is greatly appreciated by this loyal TJ's customer. read more

Free tasting of affordable wines (red Pinot and Chardonnay tonight), food (e.g: chocolate cake made with olive oil) and beverage at this Trader Joe's... You can customize your own six-pack of beers. Same awesome selection (e.g.: $3.99 per pound frozen wild fish cod Alaskan pieces, $2.99 Asian Gyoza chicken, $1.99 Broccoli bunch, $1.99 baby carrots cut and peeled 1.5 LB, $2.99 organic Fuji, Empire or Gala apple bag 2 LB, $2.49 Genovese pesto 6.7 oz jar, $2.09 milk low fat 1% half gallon), friendly and efficient service packing with care your goods, and free and ample parking in the shopping center than the other Trader Joe's stores.... read more

One of the less appealing Trader Joe's I've been in. Some of the check-out staff are cranky, rarely smiling or saying thank you when you are kind to them. The parking lot is crowded. A contrast to stores such as Foxborough where the check-out staff greet you with kindness and warmth. I will drive out of my way to avoid this store. The prices are great, but I do wish they would be more careful about toxic ingredients like heavy metals and pesticides which have increasingly been found in their products. read more

Good selection of organic foods, natural foods, dry goods (cereals, rice, noodles, pastas), sauces, spices, soups, produce, beverages, baked goods, snacks, meats, seafood, frozen foods, and vitamins. From the frozen section, I love their pad thai bowls, rice bowls, tamales, pizza, and green tea ice cream mochis. The almond croissants, fruit bars, oatmeal, and mango corn chips are very good. Can't forget the Vitamin C energy drink packets (several flavors)!! read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Framingham, Massachusetts

Note to self: Don't go shopping here on a Sunday afternoon again. The place was a zoo. Yes, this was my first time here, but probably not my last. The store is small, and unlike my preconceived thoughts, the prices were quite reasonable. In spite of the wall to wall customers, people were quite nice, both staff and customers. We basically bought the basics, milk, butter and bread, we were very satisfied with our selections, especially the challah bread. Though this will probably not be a regular stop for me due to location, I plan on visiting again, though not a Sunday afternoon, to enjoy some more of the yummy selections. read more

Obviously the prices and products are amazing. Big fan of those. Their easy meals and fun snacks get me every time. What is always a nice surprise is their floral section! So cheap and such nice quality bouquets and potted plants. The downside of this location is the size and selection. They pack a lot in, sure, including a wine and beer section, but that means the produce selection is limited along with the other namesake products not all being featured. read more

Where do you find it? Between Staples and Walgreen's off Rte 9 West. Be sure to "back" into your parking space. The parking lot is tight, small and crazy!!!! Drive slow and watch for the walkers. Can be dangerous. I love their Pumpkin and Ginger Bread Mixes for the fall season. Make mini cupcakes and bring them to parties to share. Their ice cream is super yummy. I could (and have) eat an entire container of the mint chip. Ginger Snap cookies have chunks of ginger in almost every bite. It reminds me of the Lay's commercial... you can't just have one. OK so yes, you can see I love Ginger. Just tried the non alcoholic Ginger Beer. It has a bite and makes my mouth hot from the Ginger. The Spicy Guacamole also has a bite and great flavor which can be found just near the pizza doughs. Fun for making your own pizza creations at home. Yes, they sell wines and have tastings too. The flowers are colorful and last for weeks so be sure to surprise your host or hostess with a bunch. Bring your own shopping bags and get a coupon. Put your name and number on the back and drop it into the "mailbox" as you exit and hope to win $ and goodies from the store. read more

This location has cheap wine. That is enough reason to come and stock up along with some other TJ's pantry favorites. read more

We love this TJ's because they carry adult beverages like "Two Buck Chuck" (which I think costs $3 now. Inflation and all...) All the prices for wine are very reasonable and they have a handful of six packs of beer. As with all TJ's locations, they have a wide variety of floral bouquets at good prices (I especially enjoy the bouquets of stargazer lilies.) We usually get hummus and when we want to splurge calorie-wise we get the blue cheese pecan dip. So so so delicious. When you are done shopping, all the registers are usually open and filled with customers, so bring your patience with you. The parking lot in this location leaves something to be desired, as many, many people flock here but the parking is shared with several businesses. I have witnessed many near fender benders, so I park down in the area past the 99. read more

This store is AMAZING in their response to the Corona virus. The carts are all decontaminated after each use, aisles are one way with helpful staff all around to help people understand the pattern and the minute you are done you are sent to a check out counter with no waiting. Every staff member is wearing a mask to protect shoppers. They also let older shoppers in first, right at 9 am. read more

A great supermarket, rich selection of products at reasonable prices. My family's top choice for groceries and even wine shopping.

Smaller TJs but with a decent selection of beer and wine. The produce and bakery seemed pretty small. Lots of staff roaming around asking if you need help. Best of all - I was given a raffle ticket for bringing my own bags. I've been shopping at TJs for 10-15 years. I've never known about this bag raffle, and I always bring my own bags. read more

LOVE LOVE this location and the employees!!!! I always make sure to stop by if I'm in the area. The only TJ that I've come across that remains well stocked in comparison despite the pandemic. I wanted to do a happy dance when I finally nabbed my favorite lattemiele cookies here after searching hard for months at the TJ's closer to me. The employees are always fantastic at this location and consistently make me feel valued as a customer. They have a wine section too! Amazing. I'm so envious of those who live closer and get to shop here frequently. read more

If you read my reviews it will not come as a surprise that I am super into the fall and fall foods. I read that the fall items were now in stock and displayed so when I saw this passing by I made my not as enthusiastic as my fall shopping partner in crime turn around. Poor guy. The fall items are definitely out at this location! Right when you walk in there are displays. I had to pace myself because it's still September but no lie, I wanted everything I saw. I ended up getting a cute gourd, other unrelated/non-fall items like butternut squash mac n cheese (so good) and some fall themed beer. I wish they marked their items better though. I purchased maple butter and I thought it was around 3-4 dollars and it ended up being 6.99 yikes. Too much for a little container of that. As with most Trader Joe's, it's a busy location. They were giving out grapes as a free sample when I went. The line wasn't too bad. Despite overpaying for the maple butter I felt like I got a good amount for the final check-out price. Will be back (probably to a location closer to home as I really wanted the maple ginger swirl ice cream but knew it was going to be too hot to get it so early and passed) and stocking up on more fall items that I totally do not need but then really do need! read more

Over the last six months or so, Trader Joe's has been a place I have been frequenting much more as my brain is finally processing how both the prices and quality or nearly everything sold here are unbeatable. This specific location is rather cock-eyed in layout. The aisles are crooked due to lack of space. With that said, everything is in mirror location to my local TJ's, which was helpful. The store is fully stocked and even more than the Needham store that I normally go to. Nothing was out of stock, which was a pleasant surprise. Even the TJ's brand Pirate's Booty, which has been out of stock in Needham a few times now (if you haven't, get that.... it's the best!) This specific Trader Joe's has a feature that not many others do... a full beer and wine section. Could be a preferred stop for some with that feature.... Needham doesn't have it (where I normally shop). With that said, I believe that any corporation can only receive a certain amount of liquor licenses per state. Staff are friendly and the checkout process is fast due to the number of open registers. The store is busy, but every TJ's location I have been to is, so that wasn't a shocker. This one has a nice spacious parking lot with trees to accompany and easy on and off access from both Route 9 and Prospect Street. Highly suggest this location. 5 stars. read more

Trader Joe's in Framingham is located conveniently on the 9 west. This Trader Joe's is always busy and filled with people that's why it's getting four stars. Otherwise it's generic and setup like every other Trader Joe's. It's clean, staff are helpful and they are always stocked. read more

I love Trader Joe's! I love the food. I love the flowers. I love the employees. I love the wine. I love the samples. I love the produce. I love the frozen section. I just love, love, love the store!!! That is all! read more

I can't imagine how I manage the first chunk of my life without Trader Joe's. First it was Needham (introduced to me by a group of executive headhunters I was temping for) and then it was Brookline... (Oh Brookline, how I miss working on your convenient streets) and then Peabody (Thank you for Peabody, I really thought I was going to have to do with out when I changed jobs) and occasionally Cambridge (as I had a boyfriend that did not live too far) and now... Framingham. Framingham is one of the only three stores in Massachusetts that sell beer and wine. (The other two are Brookline and Cambridge). And it's the ONLY store to sell Beer and Wine outside of metropolitan Boston. This reason, alone, makes Framingham the best TJ's. But this review isn't just Framingham, I suppose, but for Trader Joe's in general (with a focus on Framingham)... I wish there was a way I could truly express my love for Trader Joe's... I know.. how about interpretive dance? ................ ......................... .................................. If you missed that, maybe I'll put it on YouTube later. If you don't like dance... how about Haiku: Inexpensive treats Most delightful shop in town With beer and wine too! Yeah, I know... Haiku's are SOO 1982. Okay.. I'll try a limerick: There's this place called Trader Joe's And everybody knows They have lots of treats And wonderful eats For much cheaper than their foes! Okay, I give up. Trader Joe's rocks. Here's a short list why: Dorat garlic cubes Wasabi mayo Various beers Chuck - although I cook with it more than I drink it.. but then, sometimes I drink it. Flowers Various breads Super yummy cereals Hearty mixed grains Vacuumed sealed fried rice Juice selection Pulled BBQ chicken (which makes an awesome calzone with pizza dough and cheddar or Mexican cheese) Chocolate meringues Pumpkin butter Low sugar strawberry preserves No salt crunchy peanut butter Chicken gorgonzola Super yummy gazpacho (that I wish came in a bigger container) Organic real fruit lollipops Tomato soup in a box Various frozen pizzas Chili lime chicken burgers Buffalo burgers (no antibiotics no hormones) Really cheap fine dark chocolate Midsummer Night's Cream - Extra Moisturizing (the pink one) Sugar and salt scrubs for 6 bucks! Amazing whole bean coffee selection Having a pantry full of gourmet delights and still being able to pay my mortgage Winning prizes for bringing my own bags Okay... I think I've made my point. (I even saved my 100th review for Trader Joe's) Shop at Trader Joe's, and if you love it... go to their website and ask them to put one in Marlborough, for me, because I asked so nice... read more

As Amy E. and Kerri O. have previously mention the parking situation is horrible. When I visited this location, the parking lot was full of cars and snow because it had previously snowed and the plow had just pushed away the snow. I found parking close to Trader Joe's, big mistake; I had the hardest time trying to leave, because the parking lot was extremely busy. I would definitely recommend parking far, it's worth the walk. Once inside the store, I was able to find everything I was looking for as well as a few extras. I tried a sample of the chicken potstickers with sweet and sour sauce, and was sold. The sauce was yummy and the potstickers were juicy. The customer service at this location was fabulous; my cashier was super friendly and outgoing. I would definitely recommend this location to others. read more

Love this TJs - love the Captain (Hi Matt H.) love the gals - (Hi Sara and Erin G.) parking lot is dangerous - but if you park far away and walk you get some exercise, too. My personal goal is to try every bottle of red under $10 that they sell in 2010. This may seem extreme, but if I just get 12 different ones everytime instead of a case of the same $3 ones it should work. Typical Monday morning - Me with a case of mixed up cheap wine. TJ's staff - Are you having a party? Me - Ummm....yes! This weekend. May have to get more before then. TJ's staff - Cool. Here is to drinking more in 2010! Maybe the construction on Route 9 will be over and I can make it there and back in less than an hour. I call that a productive lunchtime. No that was a lie. They don't care. read more

If Trader Joe's was a woman Id marry her. Why? Quality, sophistication, nice staff without the snob syndrome one faces in granola laden high brow Whole Foods, which btw is right across the street. Never had a bad experience in the Framingham store and yes sometimes they are out of certain items. I am sure to keep costs down they down rent a store thats over the top like Whole Foods. Staff is always welcoming, friendly and informed. Parking is ample and wine selection is very good. Prices are so good even a poor pauper like me can afford! Wish the rest of MA residents where as friendly as the staff at TJ's. Great store bar none!! PS no I dont work there! read more

I'm a big fan of this friendly, fun shopping experience, but TJs definitely has highs and lows - not everything is created equally! I would love to be able to just go to TJs or WFs, but often end up at both... Highs - Cereal, cereal, cereal - good prices, great variety, kid-friendly without being sugary - Wine - these guys have democratized wine, making it an easy option for dinner any night of the week! - Nuts - half a section dedicated to nuts of every flavoring and preparation - Hummus / dippy things - equal or better than top name brands - Chicken sausages - excellent Hit or miss - Marinades and prepared sauces - Frozen dinners - typically healthier than the average fair, but finished results vary Mostly a miss - Frozen fish - looks good, prices right, doesn't always taste great - Produce - have had "bland, blah, bad" experiences with their avocados, green beans, oranges, and other items - Parking - dangerously crowded, with terrible traffic flow - I always feel like I will get dinged in this lot read more

Went there a few days before Christmas to check out their wine department AND to pick up a few food items for gift bags. I was impressed with the wine department. Bought some Italian wines that I've been over-paying for elsewhere. Chatted with the employee who was responsible to put heavy boxes of wine (Three Buck Chuck) in shopper's baskets. It was very informative and entertaining. Never disappointed with the employees at Trader Joes, never. read more
