I have always been a huge fan of Trader Joes like most people are. Their beautifully packaged items get me every time. I love anything and everything that they have. This particular Trader Joes is in the heart of Glendale. It is shared with Coffee Bean, and Walgreens. I only go to this particular TJ whenever I have a dentist appointment. Well, on 5/28/26 at 4pm I walked in to this TJ to buy few items to take with me on my mini trip. They were: one gallon of water, 4 bananas, ready made/cut watermelon, 2 Sparkling waters (Tangerine flavor), and large bottles of Pellegrino. I didn't notice that the date on the cut watermelon was expired. When I got to my hotel and wanted something sweet and cold, I opened the container and it was all smelly, not crisp, and watery. Parking was very crowded and had to circulate like 4 times until I found a space. Laura checked me out and she was quick and fast. Even exchanged 2 sentences with me. Store was nice and clean, and everybody was very helpful. Love Trader Joes very much. Please check your refrigerated items along with the expiration dates. After taking like 6 bites of the cut watermelon, as much as I HATE to waste food, I had to throw the rest away. That's not going to stop me from shopping at any one of their locations.. read more

As I returned to my car after shopping from the Trader Joe's in my area, two managers approached me. As I loaded my groceries in my car I asked what was up. They seriously looked at me and said one of their employees complained about me. He told them I touched him and he didn't like that. The shock ran through my body. What? I may have tapped him and smiled saying Merry Christmas to him. I am a 72 year old woman who is very friendly to people and was shocked at this. Why didn't they just tell him to stand up for himself rather than chastising me for being friendly? I am from Canada living in LA and I see people are less friendly in CA, especially in Glendale. I am a retired social worker of 26 years and would never be inappropriate but suppose I understand. I'll just say I spent a few days feeling shamed like a child and was unable to return for a month until I came to acceptance that this was handled very badly. At least I feel it was. As a result I have to monitor my every move and squelch any natural inclination to just be real. Wow. Still feeling the sting. To the managers who approached me, shame on you. read more

I must have went on a not so great day because a lot of the items I wanted to by to bring back to Hawaii weren't on the shelves. I went on a Saturday afternoon and parking was rough. The lot is small and too many cars were coming in and not enough people are leaving so you end up circling to try and get a space. The size of this store was smaller that the one in Hollywood but bigger than Burbank. read more

The usual Joe with the good and simple selection well.above average overall. Tidy and Aldi sized that gets wildly busy on weekends. I enjoy the beer brews which bring in some unusual stuff that always feeds the mood. Staff is extremely enjoyable as always! read more

Trader Joe's - Front at night - Grocery Near Me - Glendale, California

Nice place to get flowers, staff is very friendly and ready to help. Some products you can get only here!

I'm giving them 4 stars because every crew, and I mean everyone, are extremely friendly and helpful. If TJs have crew appreciation things, they should give this store a plaque to celebrate every individual in this store. The only feedback I have here is that this is a very busy store and some of my favorite things are hard to find like the Micellar wipes. But for an extremely busy store, the crew is perfect! read more

This is my go to Trader Joe's! Every staff member is awesome and treats you with kindness. Everything is always organized and clean. The food is always good quality and a bang for your buck! read more

I was passing through town and needed to do a quick drive by to refill my supply of my favorite salads. With the large parking lot area that they have I was able to park immediately right in front of their entrance and literally go in and out of the store within 10 minutes. I pulled up. Got parking right away. Hopped into get my favorite salads including: -Chicken Chopped Salad -Lemon Chicken & Arugula Salad -Brocolli Slaw & Kale Salad with White Chicken Meat 10 minute grocery shopping experience is an A+ experience for me! read more

This is the one of my favorite location now, I have had bad experience my the NOHO Trader Joe's:/. But this location had great service. Product selection was countless. I was really happy with the customer service, cashier was awesome too. Made my day. Thank you Trader Joe's team. read more

I've seen the reviews and learned that this Trader Joe's has been here for ten years already but why I never knew about even though I'd passed by here so many times and I've attended church across the street. Oh well, it's never too late for me to discover cuz I love Trader Joe's. The store is probably the same size as our local branch in Burbank but the parking lot is slightly bigger but still not enough for all the shoppers who come in here lining up for hours for those much sought TJ bags. Just kidding! People do come here for great quality products in very affordable prices than competitors. The friendly staff is always willing to help out no matter how busy the store is. Who doesn't love TJ's? read more

Love my local Trader Joe's! Staff are always so friendly and the place is clean and well stocked (except for eggs on some days) I get to try different types of cuisines because of this place, and I go at least 1 or 2x a week! Huge parking lot, but it can get packed during rush hour. Right next to Walgreens and Coffee bean. There are places to eat around the block too so maybe that's the reason why the parking lot gets filled up. read more

Glendale Trader Joe's is super friendly and the staff members are so nice! I came in looking for some last-minute gifts to get for some birthdays and asked them where their skincare and beauty section was. I know you shouldn't shop last minute, but sometimes it just happens and the best place to go is Trader Joe's. It is more than a market, it has other items for pets, beauty, home goods, and of course food items. I can never stop trying the different items and also gifting things to people from here the sizing is perfect for people who live alone and also even a family. Stop by at your local Trader Joe's to get inspired and you might even find a few things for yourself and friends. read more

I've never come to this Trader Joe's, so late in the evening before. It was actually kind of nice. It was pretty empty. The parking lot however, was hectic. The produce area was maybe the only area that was pretty congested. But regardless, we were able to find what we needed very quickly. The one thing that was really nice, was the friendly attitude of the cashiers. They were very welcoming and we sparked up a little conversation pretty quickly. Everything ended on the swell note and we were on our way. This is one of the fastest shopping trips we've ever made here. Luckily, we only came for a few very basic staple items. The other thing was kind of awesome too was to see how the store was being put back together. All of the things that were empty or near empty we're being replenished. Signage was being corrected and changed. It just had a really awesome level of productivity going on. read more

Who doesn't love Trader Joe's?! The food is great but this review is for the flowers! I love love love the quality of the flowers here. My new favorite is the COUNTRY ROSES. I haven't seen anything like them before. They are a little more frilly and I think they are so unique. They get a new case every day. So cool! Just like their regular roses, the bunches are $9.99. The SPRAY ROSES are always a great bargain. Totally worth it and so cute! I love that they are just as beautiful as the regular size bouquets. Employees are always nice and helpful! I really appreciate that! read more

Abbie is a great cashier. She's friendly, polite, engaging, and overall made my day a better day. I like this locations layout, it has seemingly more stuff than the one closer to me. Parking lot is typical tj's parking lot. I managed to get a spot fast today, Thursday about 12:30. Over all happy. But Abbie made my day much better thanks Abbie. Hope I spelled her name correctly. read more

This location carries all the essentials but we need more of the snacks in my opinion, and they added some extra cashiers so check out is much more efficient, it does tend to get quite busy on weekends and some evenings, parking lot has busy moments too, but overall a great spot. read more

The only reason why I came here was because it was the closest on my way home; and nonetheless it's very near the freeway. WIN!! It's in the same plaza as Walgreens so parking (like always) can be hectic. Once inside, I love that it is very spacious and the items are well stocked. read more

Giovanni is an expert in customer service. He also knows a thing or two about wine. Thank you for your time sir.

When we visit our daughters in Glendale, we walk to this Trader Joes! Since we're from Honolulu and there is none, we come here all the time! I love the nice, firm yellow bananas for $.19 each! There is always such a good selection that it is always easy to find a nice bunch! The fruits and produce are so clean and fresh! This is also true of the flowers and plants! They have such a huge variety to choose from that are so inexpensive that I want to buy them all! Or at least one of each! If you need a hostess, birthday or any gift, go here to find a beautiful one! By the way, they have a nice selection of cards: birthday, get well, sympathy, etc. Just $.99 each! What a deal! The nuts and dried fruit along with the chocolates and cookies are so yummy! Perfect for.gifts to bring home! Everyone in Honolulu loves getting these gifts! Check out the beverages: small bottles of water, French Market Sparkling Berry Lemonade & Wines (Mark West Pinot Noir 2022). Baked Goods galore! So fresh! Always get the black and white cookies and the chocolate babka! Be sure to check it out and know that seasonal items disappear quickly! read more

It's safe to say that when visiting the mainland Trader Joe's is the place to be. We love TJ and here in Cali, we knew we had to stop over here to grab some goodies to bring back home. My personal favorite is the Meyer Lemon Thin cookies. Grabbed new holiday favorites for our friends and family back home of which we can't wait to try! Very exciting to be in this store. The service is great and friendly and the store was nice and clean with shelves organized but they were out of some of the items that we loved. Overall Thanks for another great TJ experience. We may just have to move up here so that we can enjoy it more often read more

It's a Trader Joe's so you know what to expect. Prices are slightly higher, but the quality is always good. Best flowers at a decent price. I usually always get flowers from here for all occasions. They have a lot of items I can't find at a "regular" market, so it's nice to shop here for treats for both my dog and birds. The store feels clean and I see them constantly mop here and changing out produce. This store has a hardworking hustle, so make sure you get out of the way because when the workers are pushing a cart, it's like they're on a time limit, so you better get out of the way because I've had a few sigh and roll their eyes at me. Cashiers are always friendly and moving. ***Side note*** Parking lot is usually aggressive, so try to park by Walgreens side lot and walk over. There's usually less people there because this is a lazy/entitled city where that ONE parking space closer to the entrance means EVERYTHING read more

All Trader Joe's are 5 stars in my book. Great products at affordable prices and beyond friendly crew members always willing to assist! This particular location in Glendale is the BUSIEST store compared to local area TJ's of Montrose and La Canada. It's a madhouse here constantly. Madhouse (minus one star)! However, the advantage of shopping here vs. the other two locations are that the MEAT and CHEESE selections here offer a better variety. Everything is always well stocked up. And parking is better than the other local locations mentioned. read more

I've never been to any Trader Joe's that wasn't the best! Every Trader Joe's, I've been to, the employees are warm, welcoming, & attentive to each & every customer. The parking lot are always full at Trader Joe's, but it's worth it because when going inside, you hardly wait at all because the cashiers are observant & Make sure that you get checked out as fast as possible. Keep up the great work Trader Joe's! You are a valuable part of the communities. Your truly appreciated! read more

I don't know if this is the right TJ's but I recently went to the one in Glendale and just had a very good experience there. This was the one that shares a parking lot with other businesses, which helped to make it a good experience because rather than feeling like I was risking my life and my car's well-being the way I usually do in most Trader Joe's treacherous parking lots, there was PLENTY of room for me and my car. It was also very pleasant because I was greeted with smiles and the entire time I was there, everyone was helpful and smiley. I live in Silver Lake and OUR Trader Joe's is quite good, too - it's rare that someone in there is less than kind and caring, and that's usually the case with most of the TJ's I experience, admittedly. But somehow this place made me feel welcome in a new and unexpected way, so I just wanted to write about it. I was in a hurry, life has been complicated lately, and this just made it all feel easier and more light. read more

Called them for a simple question since I wasn't able to answer or find the item on the website so I was double checking. Charles answered with the most rudest and most ignorant tone. I wouldn't come here if that's how the service is on the phone, might as well not even go. read more

Food- the pre-made salads are good. Produce is amazing... recommend organic bananas. Service- fast and friendly Ambiance- typical Trader Joes, but on smaller side. Very busy and not that clean even though organized. read more

If it's Late September: It's Fall in Traders. And if it's Fall it is Pumpkin Ice Cream time! And this ice cream stands at the zenith of the Pantheon of Pumpkin Ice Creams. And i have tasted many of them over the years: Ben and Jerry's, Mc Connells, Breyers, etc. And they do not approach the pumpkinny, creamy, spiciness of TJs. Spicy in the sense of heavily redolent of cinnamon, ginger, Nutmeg, a small spattering of Cardamom. This Ice Cream is also not whipped with air and fluffy from the consequences of this procedure as most ice creams are. This is dense stuff. This container begs for you to partake of it with 2 spoons and a close friend. Just be aware that you both with be transferred into a Nirvana-like state very much like that attained when you first partake of Absinthe. I also bought some Pumpkin Tortilla chips which are good, not great and should have been developed as a sweet, cinnamon treat. Trader Joe's always marches to a different drummer. They always have and hopefully they always will. I will check out via the Fearless Flyer what TJs is also Pumpkinizing this year and buy whatever sounds interesting. Cheers! read more

I always shop at Trader Joe's. Love the selection. Love the prices. I stopped by on Wednesday & Anika was very pleasant at and engaged in a delightful conversation with me during me check out. She recommended extra items for a soup I ended up making and she was also just so kind! The staff is always very helpful (like above and beyond) in store and over the phone. The store is always being stocked and is very clean. And great flower selection! Also free samples are back randomly lol 15 stars from me!! Just know the parking lot is shared (Walgreens. Coffee bean) and can get crowded quickly! read more

Special thanks to Ana. She went out of her way and was amazing. We will be grilling and enjoying our filet thanks to her. Overall, the service at this location is great. Really managed well! read more

I was around Glendale and wanted to get some skin care products from Trader Joe's. It turns out they moved from their other Glendale location! I don't know when but I like this location so much better than the others (besides the one in USC). The parking is spacious and not cramp! The whole store was well stocked and clean and it was a quick shopping trip and I got all that I needed! Skin care seems super in right now but I'm on a budget and Trader Joe's skin care products are a good place to start. read more

Love the "elote" scoop corn chips. I get those and some caramelized onion dip and ohhhhh baby!

My husband and I just love Trader Joe's. It's clean, everyone is always friendly and we love their food selection. I do get disappointed when they discontinue something I really like, although I do enjoy trying their new items and its rare we get something that we don't like. read more

I've only been to this location 3-4 times. Usually when I have something going on at church across the street or an appointment at Kaiser. I love this location because it feels roomier inside, if that makes sense. Pro tip: park farthest away from the entrance, it will be easier to get out of the parking lot. You can thank me later. Something happened during my visit today, and I wanted to share. This new guy, he was obviously new, didn't really know where things were, asking other crew members for help, etc. Then customer asked him for help looking for the frozen French onion soup. This man really went out of his way to help this customer, and I witnessed it. As cheesy as it sounds, it really warmed my heart. Better yet, the customer, evidently a regular, went and found a manager and told him what a great help the crew member was!! I love that this man was eager and willing to help the customer, and he was so genuine about it too. And then the customer, who wanted to make sure to acknowledge this man's efforts. Wow!! Anyway, I thought I'd share because this kind of stuff is so rare nowadays. So bravo crew member in the blue shirt, and customer with the red hair!! read more

Would be cool if your cashier Kasia didn't snap at customers for asking to use two (of my own) bags because it was somehow inconvenient for her even though I said I had two bags at the beginning. I am physically disabled and I walk so I can't have a bunch of heavy stuff all in one bag. And it's incredibly cruel and hurtful and ableist to harass someone about it. Extremely disgusted and upset about this, I walked out in tears. Like getting hit by a car wasn't bad enough,I get verbally attacked in a snotty voice by some cashier for being disabled?! Not every disability is visible, that was abhorrent behavior read more

All of my friends know my as the TJ's girl. So this has to become my spot when I moved to Glendale. Nice big location. Can usually find what I am looking for. Workers are nice and helpful. And, like all other TJs, their price on food and quality is unmatched! If you're an early bird, it's best to go early because this place can get packed quick. Parking is somewhat limited because the lot isn't that big. read more

Can't complain about this place. The place is always filled with happy customers. Always stocked to the brim with fresh produce and other foods as well as a frequent change in their seasonal items. The service is never disappointing. PARKING Free, available in lot read more

If I was able to give Trader Joe's no stars I would most definitely do so. I was told that the employee's are not allowed to enforce any face masks due to losing customers and their precious "reputation." Anyone who walks into the store without a mask is told "We do not have any masks, but feel free to shop." Also, they do NOT sanitize any baskets/carts after being used or simply placed back into their original corral's. It's very clear that they don't care for costumers or anyone else's health. read more

I used the restroom here, and the experience merits a 5 rating. No one tried to stop me from using it even though I wasn't buying anything. The restroom was clean and functional. However, even with all that, the experience would not rate a 5 if not for the location of the store. Glendale, CA is one of the most paradisal places in the nation, ranked highly on many lists of places for the quality of life. The Trader Joes here is mostly indistinguishable from those anyplace else, but the town it is in is superior to most. The combination of this, along with the unhindered, highly sanitary experience of relieving myself, amounts to a 5 rating. read more

Be aware!!!!!! If you would like to be completely harrassed, come to this Trader Joe's!!!! By far, I have never had such a terrible experience at any grocery store like this one!!!! I waited in the long Trader Joe's line for a quick stop for some cheese and crackers. I go to Trader Joe's often about twice a week, as does the rest of my family. However, none of us will ever step foot in any Trader Joe's establishment even if it was the last grocery store on earth. We will rather starve. I was with my well behaved service dog( no licking, barking, or peeing, because he is a registered SERVICE dog, not emotional support animal). Anyways, the employee in the front asked is he is a service dog, what service he provides, and how he provides that service. I answered nicely and we entered the store. 10 seconds and 1 step later, another employee asks me the same 3 questions. And I answer. 5 seconds later and not a step forward, a third employee comes and asks me the same questions. And boy oh boy, she was very rude and loud. I told her I already was asked twice and yet she continues to ask and I answer and she walks away. Now 3 minutes into the store, we finally make it to the cheese section. I grab the cheese and of course, a fourth employee comes up to me and asks the same questions. By this time, I am already irritated because they were not asking me in a calm manner, they were literally shouting out loud what service does he provide, oh I do not think that is a registered service, questioning me and asking further questions as if I am a criminal in a police station. Anyways, I tell her that she is the fourth person who asked me and she just explodes on me. Shouts that they dont want to harm me, it is the protocol blablabla. Lady if you hate your job, quit! Dont harrass me to let out your frustration! And yell out loud about my service in public! I felt so attacked. I have never felt that way before. I obviously put the cheese down and walked out the store. Trader Joe's, you guys need to get your act together and train your employees the right way. Because if other service dog owners experience what I did, I know for a fact they will stop giving you bussiness, as they should! I will make sure all of my coworkers and big social circle also hear about this. Shame on you TJ! read more

Pretty fast. Pleasant and cool crew. Super simple store with a few limits on stuff but overall pretty spiffy.
