    Cute seasonal decor
    Lloyd C.

    The staff are very friendly here! I like shopping here especially during Christmas time because they have all these little sweet/chocolate goodies for decent white elephant gifts. I saw a few new items that looked very tempting to buy.

    Great Customer Service. I love the majority of items I try. Good quality for a good price. They have a wonderful selection of seasonal items. At this moment my family and I love the Maple Cold Foam, which is seasonal. They have a few delicious frozen Indian food options, chicken vindaloo, masala, butter chicken and garlic naan. The garlic naan is my least favorite of those as its texture is not quite restaurant style. Here's What I Think... It's worth a visit to your local Trader Joe's, especially during the Holiday season.

    I absolutely love this location! Very close to home, service is great and everything is perfectly stocked! Can't wait for the next visit!

    These are sooo goood!

    If you haven't tried their frozen chicken teriyaki and frozen kung pao (bags) then you need to. Been coming here for over a decade for these frozen goodies. They are available year round but they always have good seasonal items too! Today I grabbed a bag the the strawberry fields gummy candy and they are sooooo goood :)

    I'll take one in every color!

    I love TJ's just as much as the next person. But this location often times doesn't have inventory of different products. I'm saying this relative to other locations in the Bay Area. Every time that I visit Castro Valley, or venture into the Peninsula to the Redwood City location, they always have things that we don't here. That's my only big gripe. That and people are reckless in the parking lot so be mindful and don't be on your phone when you're walking from your car to the front door of the store. Other than that, it's everything any TJ's is with its core products, and probably more popular- seasonal items! It's also probably my favorite grocery chain to purchase flowers from. The peonies never disappoint!

    I only go there for their seasonal and cultural food products, produce, lean meats, and sometimes treat myself to a bouquet. It's my motivation to eat healthier with meal prep options. I try to stay away from sweets as much as possible because it's too sugary for me. This store may be small, but I always see the crew unpacking products every hour and they're always available for questions in every aisle. They even conversate with you while bagging your groceries, which is rare in other grocery stores. Plus everything is neat and organized. Parking is spacious, yet you need to watch out for the gypsies or panhandlers and hectic parking during afternoons and evenings. I recommend going between Tuesday and Thursday mornings to get the limited products to beat the long lines. The seasonal products usually run out before lunchtime.

    The lines are named after their city streets

    Decided to stop in and grab a few things I needed and wanted. The street name check stands is a unique concept.

    So cute!

    Always busy. Found this cute little pumpkin, it's like a scavenger haunt in there! So creative, way to go!!!!

    This location is always packed! This store is decent-sized, not the biggest TJ's but also not the smallest TJ's I've been to. They are pretty good at carrying the latest seasonal products on time and if you can't find something, the staff is usually helpful. I have to take a star off though for the following reason. During my last visit, a manager saw me wait by the eggs area because I was waiting for an associate that went to look for an item for me in the back. The manager asked me what I needed and when I told her, she immediately said, "Oh no. We don't have any of those anymore. Don't even bother looking if you're not here right when we're open." Then she walked off. I wasn't looking for her opinion since I was already being helped, but ok... So I proceeded to wait for the associate to come back and she gave me exactly what I was looking for from the back. Thank god I waited for that associate and still GOT WHAT I NEEDED after all that negativity from the manager... The lesson of the day is, some people here don't know what they're talking about so if at first you don't succeed, always try again!

He stated that it was "the law" that a Mexican passport could not be used as ID. I have shopped at this store for years and have never encountered any issues using this form of identification. When Christopher saw that my ID was a Mexican passport, his reaction appeared noticeably negative, which made me feel that his refusal may have been racially motivated. I chose not to escalate the situation at the register and asked him to remove the items. I then requested to speak with the manager on duty, an older Asian woman. I asked whether rejecting a Mexican passport was store policy. She clearly confirmed that a Mexican passport is an international form of identification and is valid. When I explained that I felt the cashier's behavior was discriminatory, she appeared to acknowledge my concern. She completed my transaction, and I reminded Christopher of the correct policy. His demeanor throughout the interaction remained rude and disrespectful. I have never experienced racism before, and this incident was unacceptable. I expect employees to know store policies and to treat customers respectfully. I plan to contact the store manager and corporate regarding this matter. Christopher also refused to provide Dave Hines' email, claiming he was not allowed to give it out. As a manager myself, I find this behavior unprofessional and unethical. Christopher demonstrated discriminatory behavior and poor customer service, and I hope appropriate action is taken.

    I'm often in the area on Mondays to take advantage of Raley's $5 Monday deals…read more On January 12, one of the $5 Monday items was on sale, although this product typically varies in price when it's not discounted. I went through self-checkout (they usually have only one staffed checker), entered my phone number, and the discount was applied--partially. One item rang up at the regular, higher price. When I asked for a price adjustment, I was told that a particular flavor was not included in the sale, even though it was clearly marked as part of the promotion where it was displayed in the store. This was incorrect. I didn't feel like arguing or walking back to take photos to prove it. My seven $5 items should have totaled $35, not $42. Eventually, the issue was corrected, but the associate did not initially know how to process the adjustment. Additionally, several packages of the item I purchased were past the SELL BY date. Some were dated 11/2025, while others on the shelf were already expired. I had to search through the display to find items that were still within date. Be sure to check prices and dates carefully--especially when items are on sale. I did want to photograph or mention the item in question because I did believe they had anything to do with the stocking of merchandise in the store. To Raleys: You need to step it up. FIFO!
