I took my granddaughter here because she loves this place and used to shop at a TJ regularly when she lived in KY. We bought about $40 in groceries but the item she specifically wanted, Mango Mochi, had been replaced with a holiday flavor. I wish the store would have been larger so they could stock more items and selections. I have yet to try the items I bought, meat lasagna and breaded cod fillets, but they look really delicious and of a better quality than what I am used to buying. Cashier service was excellent. When a cashier in another lane became free, he called us over to his lane. Most of the store was laid out to accommodate large crowds. Only one aisle seemed too narrow to me. read more

Definitely a good visit today. I love 30 ish min away so it's not close by any means but I think this one is less busy than the one towards Castleton. I really enjoyed the not so over crowding of the lot and the store itself. The variety of goods were easier to find here. They even had samples today. The staff was so friendly even as busy as they were stocking the shelves. Ashley checked me out and was a very pleasant and sweet young lady. Wish I lived closer this definitely would be my home store. Guess field trips are the next best thing. read more

always a very nice place to visit. nice employees and good prices. Sally is always so very sweet, I will be coming back! :))

Apparently, I've been sleeping on Trader Joe's for a minute! I've known about Trader Joe's for years, but I live on the far Eastside of Indy, so it didn't make a lot of sense for me to drive past 20 other grocery stores to make the trek to Castleton. But now that I work on the Northside several days a week, I'm just a stone's throw away and decided to stop in to pick up some essentials. In my family, I am the main meal planner, grocery shopper, and cook. I have had this role for years, so I have a good amount of experience when it comes to grocery stores. And let me tell you, I get $&@*!NG ANGRY when I go to the store anymore! Prices are literally out of control. And I am talking about the big box stores with mass-produced food (containing known carcinogenic ingredients!) that is meant to be cheap. So, color me surprised when I walked into Trader Joe's and they have prices that are straight outta 2005. Two items I did always love at Traders Joe's were the Tea Tree Tingle shampoo and conditioner. I remember them bragging that they hadn't changed the price in over a decade. But we are living in the post-covid price apocalypse, so surely that has changed, right? Freaking $3.99 each. Are you kidding me? You know what kind of crap I have to buy at the other stores to keep my cost that low? Let me tell ya, it ain't good! And I LOVE the Tea Tree Tingle products. Salon quality. I'd pick it over most shampoos I've tried over the years. And it's less than $4. Crazy. So, I started to look around, a bit, and it's not just the HBA products. Aisle after aisle (ok, there are only like 4-5 aisles. This store could be bigger. But they have a lot of the things you need, so maybe I've just gotten used to mega-marts), I found myself thinking, "Wow, that's a good price." Over and over! Honestly, I was astonished. And in that moment, I fell in love with Trader Joe's. Here is a company who could easily raise their prices. You almost expect to pay higher prices for organic and whole foods. Yet, Trader Joe's is clearly making a significant effort to keep prices low. As someone who runs the family budget, I appreciate that so much. In a world where I feel like companies are trying to take advantage of people and gouge prices, Trader Joe's stands alone. I picked up a very nice, embroidered canvas bag (also only $4! WTF) to keep in my car so I can make these stops at Trader Joe's a much more frequent event! read more

It's been a while since I reviewed this location. This speaks to this location, and Trader Joe's in general. First is a problem with seasonal merchandise that's not seasonal, just a seeming whimsy with a Trader Joe's product manager. There are many of these. It forces me to load up on stuff that they deem seasonal, even if it's something like whipping cream. Second are price increases that make Kroger look almost philanthropic. It was once a way to save money and eat well. No longer. If and when you can find favorites, the price increase has gone way past the rate of inflation. Thirdly are the almost Aldi-like merchandising, not the cool California way of doing things. This extends from wine merchandizing to produce. It's all out of bins, organized occasionally. Gone are the buys of yesteryear. Finally, the vibe is failing. In this location, you can get food from a stunning variety of international stores, well-stocked, with better variety and certainly better pricing. I have to drive some distance to go here, and now, sadly, it's off my list. G'bye, Joe. See you on the trail. read more

While Trader Joe's parking lots always seem to be the most problematic, it's worst navigating the chaos outside to get to the food inside. I always love finding speciality foods here for reasonable prices. It's also great because there are many vegan offerings. The store has always been clean, and staff always friendly. I've never encountered a Trader Joe's employee that's in a bad mood. read more

Trader Joe's is my retail therapy! Just the place to be when I crave a variety of hummus flavors, insanely delicious dips, vegan sausages, fresh bread, crave worthy chocolates and just the cutest snacks in the best packages. TJs carries buttery shortbread for coffee, frozen hash browns for breakfast, pre made salads for lunches, seasonal heavenly fruits such as fig and ripe plums for snacks and don't get me started on the veggie variety for dinner salads. I love the Trader Joe's in Allisonville which is always clean, stocked and has the best service. First day at my new job and voila the attendant gifts me a bouquet. Now that's some serious epic customer service and there's no way I would prefer anything but Trader Joe's! read more

I lovvedddddd my experience at this Trader Joe's. Joe would be so proud. I had the best time shopping through the store and the workers were so unbelievably helpful. Adelle was the cashier who checked me out earlier and she was so kind and had so many amazing recommendations to make about the things I was buying. I tried one of the recipes that she encouraged me to try and it WAS GAS. I definitely will be back. The store was so clean and the vibes were immaculate. Whoever was on aux had me taping my feet in the store. I cannot wait until I come back and try more of the options that you have in your store. I love TRADER JOES HERE!! read more

Trader Joe's is in a class of its own. I can't even count how many products they've got that you just can't find anywhere else. There's always something new and delicious to try. A glance at the "what's new list" show apricot cardamon spread, mango sticky rice crisps and crunchy jicama slaw, and a whole lot more. The staff is consistently amazing as well. We've had staff go back to a just-delivered load of pallets to get us dark chocolate peanut butter cups. Another member of staff took a good ten minutes to talk about the merits of different ($7!) bottles of French wine. The premises convey a feeling of wandering through an exceptionally well stocked and clean farmer's market. If the question is "Trader Joe's"? the answer is always going to be yes! read more

4.5 stars. Still amazing. Products, service, return policy, e'rethang! Found some more favorite things: The key lime pie is fabulous! And the carrot cake, too! The lemon air freshener is just as good or better than PooPourri - and it's more reasonably priced and all natural. The coconut body butter is good. Apparently, folks make a conCOCKtion with it and the lemongrass oil to smell like pound cake and get folded! Lol. I haven't tried this, so I speak to its efficacy. Gotta love Black Girl Magic! Still losing a half star for discontinuing amazing products just as soon as I grow to love them! Better buy in bulk! You've been warned! read more

Nice, clean store. Laid out a bit differently than the one I normally go to on 86th St. Made it out without overspending. Well worth the visit when I'm on the north side. It's a bummer there's not one on my side of town, otherwise I'd shop here more. read more

I love Trader Joe's! I always find things here that are new to try and unique things. I am really impressed with their social distancing practices. They are limiting the number of customers in the store and have have lines taped off on the sidewalk for you to wait behind. The staff are always helpful and friendly, and their prices are fair. Thank you for helping to keep your staff and customers safe! read more

Okay, so true story. Trader Joe's in CA are a plenty. It's the only place I shopped for groceries when I lived there. So when deciding if I should move to Indiana, I googled if there were Trader Joe's locations out here. Yes, I did. Wasn't sure if I could survive without one. And what a nice surprise to find that TJ's exists in IN. Woohoo! 5 stars - Product selection. There are goodies I can only buy here. They've got a great selection of curated products. It really feels that way. There's always something new to try. I love visiting their wall of new products whenever I go. If there was one product that can only be found here and is a favorite of mine, it's their bomba sauce. It's near the jars of marinara sauce and it is THE best condiment. Spicy, but good. 5 stars - Greeting cards. The rack of greeting cards. Have you checked them out? Messages with original art and uplifting messages for any kinda life event. I always stop by to see the latest offerings and walk away with a couple to mail to friends. read more

Shopping at TJ's is so much fun! The employees are pleasant and knowledgeable, and I love the recommendations they make. I always end up walking through all the aisles every time I come here just to see what is new. I will run in just to pick up one or two things and end up making impulse purchases. How can I pass up Elote corn chip dippers? Or cauliflower tot casserole? Apple cider donuts! I love the suggestions the employees make for their favorite things. For example, I stopped in last week to pick up some of my favorite hot sauce, and when I checked out Dave asked if I had every tried the Green Dragon hot sauce. I hadn't, and he described it and told me some different ways he used it. I said I would like to try it and he ran and grabbed it for me. It is such a pleasure to shop where employees engage with the customers and happily offer assistance. Dave, who checked out my items, told me he had worked at TJ's for 17 years and said he loved TJ's and the customers. Outstanding customer service and a store full of unique food items. Always a pleasant experience at a TJ's. read more

Stopped at Trader Joe's on 3/30. They had a line going down the sidewalk of the strip mall to get in, and everyone was doing a good job standing 6 feet apart. There was an employee at the door (the TJ's bouncer - who knew that was a thing?!) who was letting new people in one at a time when someone would come out. Another employee was spraying carts with sanitizer and wiping them down. The store was really well stocked with fresh produce, frozen foods and their packaged goods. There were only 2 things on my list that I couldn't find, and they even had toilet paper! It was a really pleasant shopping experience being in such an uncrowded store ... just make sure to leave some extra time for waiting in line to get in, and be sure to thank the employees and cashiers for being there! read more

Trader Joe's - New hours as of 3/17/2020 - Grocery Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I use to visit TJ's when they first opened this location many, many years ago and then I fell off. Thanks to social media I'm back again, and enjoying all of the goods they have to offer. Wonderful produce, vast and tasty frozen foods, beauty section with ingredients you've heard of, wine, beautiful flowers and all reasonably priced. Everyone can find something at TJ's. I can never just leave without more than was on my list. As mentioned by another reviewer, items are discontinued without notice, so that is a bit of a bummer. Staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

Trader Joe's - Beauty run on this trip. Bag received at a Yelp event a couple of years ago. - The image shows a variety of Trader Joe's personal care products arranged on a light-colored countertop. The products include a tea tree tingle body wash, shea butter coconut oil hair serum, nourishing shower and bath oil, and lavender salt scrub. Behind the products, there is a Trader Joe's Indiana shopping bag with colorful text and a decorative design, partially visible. The setting appears to be indoors, with natural light coming from a window with blinds in the background. - Grocery Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Food The Turkey tips frozen were disgusting. Globs of turkey the batter or sauce was like pasted on . 8.99 pass people get ground turkey make your own . Asked for refund over the phone with receipt in hand . NO So I'm supposed to drive back after threw out . Back to krogers for butterball! Ps I threw out the shrimp dumplings and the frozen Turkey burgers . I had trouble finding any shrimp with a microscope and can't describe the turkey taste. Outside of wine and bananas no more Trader Joe's ! read more

We felt it was about time to prepare a review of Trader Joe's after shopping there for years and never sharing our opinion more than ringing the bell on the way out. We travel there from Shelbyville to stock up on wine. TJs have by far the best prices for a fantastic variety of excellent wines. Not familiar with their exclusive brands offered? Just ask an associate in the wine/beer area and you will get an intelligent and accurate description of the wine. Although not very large in size, a very thorough job is completed in offering a wide variety of items not found anywhere else in the area. The prices are very economical for unique products. And the big plus of any retail store is a friendly and knowledgeable staff. We have never been disappointed in the friendliness and knowledge of all staff members. As busy as the store is, a second location would be great. Especially on the south side or Greenwood area. read more

This Trader Joe's defines pure happiness! From the minute you get in line (as they limit capacity due to COVID-19) to the time you check out, you will see smiling faces. The staff here is very efficient and helpful, and always ensuring that you have a good shopping experience. In general, I love the frozen section of Trader Joe's and how each and every food item has nutritional value on it. The quick fix lunch and dinner options are great too, and not too expensive. They have true ethnic flavors whether you buy their chicken tikka curry or their shawarma chicken thighs. Truly a delight to shop at this location! read more

I came in looking for some breakfast items...just to switch up my morning. First I grabbed frozen waffles but then this girl who checked me out recommended some pancake puffs...FIRE. I can't remember her name, but she was kinda tall with braids and glasses who checked me out. Super sweet read more

I live in Fishers and decided to take a drive to Trader Joe's in Indy. I went around 10:30 on a Monday and it wasn't bad at all. They require you to wear your masks. A staff member is at the door to welcome you, offer you are cleaned cart and ensure you have on your mask. I haven't been to a Trader Joe's in a while so I was excited and slightly overwhelmed by all the great things they had to offer. I came for this pizza I have been hearing so much about. It's the roasted garlic & pesto pizza with deep fried crust. I also wanted the shawarma chicken thighs. This store was well stocked, organized, and the staff was friendly. My cashier was great and she gave me a lot of good recommendations for my next trip. Everything I bought was reasonably priced. I'm overjoyed when I receive great customer service and today Trader Joe's came through for me. I am already planning my next trip. read more

My 'home' TJ's is the one on 86th street, but this one is also very good! The store organization is slightly different and I'm not used to it, so that is the only annoying thing to me. Overall, it's great like any other Trader Joe's. The customer service is the best in the grocery store - and general retail - business. The food is fresh and wonderful. Since TJ's is owned by Aldi, it is less expensive than Whole Foods. Some of the food available is less expensive overall than Meijer and Kroger. Some of it is more expensive, but less than Whole Foods. However, all of it is quality. The produce/fresh food section has a great supply of hummus and refriegerated meals. The arugala and spinach is cheaper than other grocery stores. The produce is generally more expensive, but I know people think it tastes better. The bread section is great and I LOVE their tortillas. Their soups and chili cans are brilliant. The peanut butter cups are one of the best things in my life. Great frozen foods - spinach dip, indian meals, falafel. Great items in the cans and jars section, including pasta sauce and salsa. The best part is the sample station - always great food, coffee, and juice! read more

I'm a huge Trader Joe's fan and I've always loved stopping at this location. The layout isn't all the different from other TJ's I have been to, but I noticed a few items that I hadn't seen at my local store. Their wine is great. Their produce is always delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. The do have plenty of parking and it's near plenty of shopping in Castleton. I highly recommend! read more

any tjs you go to you can expect the same Great service the same Clean store the same Amazing and wonderful products and a few Fearless Flyer finds that haven't been out before. You see the familiar red carts and Hawaiian shirts and of course the must have purchase recyclable bags. All staff here is super wonderful and although a few things I've been waiting for were sold out I found a few new ones and my same old ones that I pick up each time. Edamame being one of them everything but the bagel seasoning and a few cookies and chips and wine we love. Some New Favorites are Always some Cheese or seasonal yummies. You can never go wrong with any bottle of Charles Shaw $3 buck Chuck wine. It's so good to drink and even cook with. Highly recommend this location or any other location they have. And if your town doesn't have a Tj then pray you get one soon. You won't be disappointed. Ever. . read more

I always find the best produce and distinctive items at the right prices! Friendly and helpful staff as well.

Overly friendly employees. Huge vegan food selection. I love coming here to see what's new. The frozen food section is awesome

This place is always SO busy, but the staff keeps it well stocked and cashiers move quickly. One of the best run Trader Joe's I've been to.

It's Trader Joe's, so you know what to expect from the products. The staff here are friendly and efficient. They're frequently restocking things because this is a busy store with limited shelf space. The reason for one star is because the bad location, odd traffic signal, and small parking lot filled with aggressive drivers absolutely ruin the experience. read more

What is it about Trader Joe's that everyone is so happy? That has always impressed me. I'm sure it's a part of some hard core customer service training. But I enjoy it all the same. I'm thankful that we have a Trader Joe's in Indy, and right on 82nd street! It's usually packed, but it doesn't bother me especially if people are getting healthy food for a very reasonable price. The store is always clean, bright and stocked, I really like the layout of it. You can snag some bags right when you walk in, then there are beautiful flowers to your right, then you just take in all the amazing food. It's produce and meat, dry goods, juice, water variety's, frozen foods and deserts, the international section. Your kids can search for the green monkey for a prize. There's a Sample section that I've gotten so many recipe ideas from. The wine section is tasty with a lot of options. Repeat customer :) read more

Exotic mango salsa that's cheaper than the normal salsa I get?! I'm sold. That's how your whole experience here will be. You'll be wowed by the unique offerings, comforted by the small store size, and relieved by the prices. Whenever I come here, I regret not coming more often. They have some of the most delicious combos of granola bars, cereals, frozen foods, salad mixs, candy and more. They even have discounted wine called "Two Buck Chucks". Literally, $2. How amazing is that?! Get yourself over here if you haven't been recently! Stock up on unique ingredients to highlight your regular meals! read more

I shop often at the Trader Joe's store in Castleton and have always found the staff friendly and helpful. Yesterday I was driving my daughters car and locked the keys in the car. The staff went above and beyond to help once I shared what had happened. When I had phoned for road side assistance that resulted In me waiting for over a couple of hours, one of the store staff members, John volunteered and was able to get the door open. I so appreciated his assistance and the kindness of all the store staff that provided me with water and allowed me to use the store phone after my cell phone juiced down. My experience yesterday proved that there are still caring people in this world and good customer service does still exist! read more

Trader Joe's is my go to grocery store. I love their international food, desserts, and wine selection, nicely priced produce, body care (soaps, lotions, etc), and most of all samples (lol- like the pummelo fruit I just tried for the first time, it's never something I would just buy w/out tasting beforehand). The staff is delightful, they move quickly and are always so helpful to me. I've learned not to fall in love with everything I find here, because items might rotate and not be available all year round. Although I've been shopping here for years, there's something about the holidays that kindled the writer in me. Perhaps gingerbread houses, mini fir and poinsettias. #love all the seasonal items at TJ's. read more

To be honest I'm not a fan of Trader Joe's but my boyfriend loves their frozen orange chicken. Although I'm not a fan I will admit that the store is always clean, their cashiers/staff friendly and helpful, and they actually uphold the mask/customer count in store... which is appreciated during the current pandemic. I've had a few things (frozen food, snacks, drinks, etc) and I just think it's average and prices are just ok. I don't see why it has such a fan following, but whatever. They're a good store I just find the convenience of finding everything I need in bigger stores more appealing. read more
