Always good service. Good parking. Same great Trader Joe's selection. We now go grocery shopping on Tuesday's so we can hit up the new Cafe Rio first, and then shop on a full stomach after that. read more

This store has done an amazing job at protecting customers during Covid. To the commenter who said they weren't wearing masks 7 months ago, that's an absolute lie. Everyone at this store is so helpful and nice. You can find almost anything unique the big box stores don't carry. read more

I dont get to Trader Joes often, but anytime Im in town I make sure and stop by to pick up a few items. The orange chicken is delicious! Im picky about store bought chicken products because theyre often full of gristle and weird bits and bobs... but this has so far been perfect with no funny bites. The frozen macarons are wonderful as well! I always keep the tomato less corn salsa on hand, and the frozen chocolate croissants are in the freezer now just waiting for the upcoming weekend! The staff here are always friendly, and my kid loves the child sized carts! read more

I love Trader Joe's and this doesn't mean which Trader Joe's. Its my number one junk food stop. Yup I get my snacks from there. I stock up like mad. Plus the thing is that the one in Bellingham always run out of things but not this one. Love coming here or to any Trader Joe's. read more

Trader Joe's - Nom nom nom - Grocery Near Me - Kent, Washington

We shop here every weekend. I wish they have a store in South hill, Meridian, so we don't have to go to Federal Way or Kent. We mostly buy our food here. It's clean, lots of selection and truly a great place to shop. read more

Very clean, inviting and employees are friendly! My kids love going here and finding Maggie the cow to get a free orange or lollipop! Love how affordable and fresh their products are! read more

My #1 Go To Trader Joe's in our area! The employees are so happy, talkative & helpful! & the store itself has amazing food for an amazing price! read more

Love coming here because all the workers are so down to earth and actually act like they want to be here and help you. A lot of grocery store employees make you feel like you're a burden when you ask for help! And contrary to belief, this store is very cheap with great healthy options! read more

It's a TJ's literally 2 minutes from my house. I don't know what else to say. It's clean, it's fresh, it's two minutes from my house. I try to only come here when the Seahawks are playing and in the evening. So far, parking hasn't been too bad, and neither have the lines. I may try going in the morning when they open. Did I mention how excited I am that it's 2 minutes away?? read more

This Trader Joe's in Kent is and average Trader Joe's store. They have lots of different and some healthier snacks, rather than Safeway's chips. They have also lots of frozen food to buy too. The staff are usually pretty friendly and the inside is also organized and pretty clean, would recommend. read more

What a great Trader Joe's, full of nice, helpful people! As sizes go, this TJs is pretty big, with wide, bright aisles. The fruit and veggies are all full and clean with a great variety and good prices. The bread section was smaller than others I have seen, but there were a few local items there that my Los Angeles TJs did not carry. At checkout, the lines were super short with a cashier opening just so I didn't have to wait-- even though I was next in line. She easily chatted with my son and I and gave me some great tips about the area. A great experience! read more

Their products are great which was why I chose to shop there, quick fix & delicious. The customer service? Grade A awful. C'mon employee's! I don't warrant a 'Hi, how are you' ? I was treated like I was invisible from the check out stand then I go to the customer service station to ask for a business card. AGAIN! I engage in conversation I get NOTHING. Alright so I'm not drop dead gorgeous but I can assure you I am deserving & befitting some courtesy thank you very much. How about hello? I've traveled all over the world & only here in pathetic Kent Washington ( Seattle as well) has some of the most socially challenged people. I'm glad that I'll be moving out of the area & county. Yuck! read more

I know the manager here so I have experience with this place, and it's pretty amazing. All the reviews here that are one or two stars really aren't about the quality products or friendliness of employees. Just look at the other reviews, and try the great deals and prices here. read more

I love this location - spacious parking spaces outside, simple layout in the store, quality products and friendly staff. What more could you want? (Besides the mango sticky rice that they apparently don't sell anymore...) This TJ is a bit smaller than the others but it has everything that you need. read more

I have an undying love affair with Trader Joe's, definitely my favorite grocery store by far! Excellent service from knowledgeable employees. A wonderful selection of delicious food, from the staples to the unusual Trader Joe's has you covered. I especially enjoy the large selection of frozen vegetarian foods and amazing selection of easy to prepare appetizers. read more

Asian attention!!!! Discriminate stuff work in this store. First time shop in this location, stuffs are very friendly and helpful, expect someone called Allison a greeter who greet people in front of the store. When i walked she was only greet the person who was in front of me and she is a White American. I through maybe Allison missed me, however, when i finished shopping and walked out to the store, when i passed her she did not say goodbye or anything to me, but she was saying good bye and have a great day to the person who just one step behind me. This showed so obvious she has prejudice or discrimination to different race. I believed this is not the first time she did this to our Asian Community. Since she did it so naturally. She was very nice to greet other walk in or walk out customers but except me, she did it so obvious to me. Please train and educate your stuffs to respect human being. Thank you! read more

The frozen orange chicken is really tasty! So easy to make as well, my husband and I will be having it a few times a month now

Avery is the best! And I'm sitting in my vehicle outside the store to make sure I post this before we leave. I've always liked this Trader Joe's because it is super clean, well stocked, and the employees are very nice! But Avery made my day today! My kids are chatters and she totally took the time to engage with them and was so kind. Then when we were done checking out, she had my kids get flowers for me! It was so sweet! Thanks for being wonderful, Avery! read more

I got some cheese that expired in October of 2022 and once I got home and opened it, there was mold on it. Extremely disappointing that I had to go back and get a new one. I got Ezekiel tortillas as well to make quesadillas and after I got back from getting the second non-moldy cheese, the tortillas were also moldy. I'm not sure what kind of quality control they are doing but it's extremely horrible. This has happened before and having to go back to get quality is inconvenient. read more

On January 11th, 2016 a little after 5pm I was shamed and embarrassed for breastfeeding my 3 week old son at this Trader Joe's location. My husband, 4 year old, 18 month old, and 3 week old were all picking up groceries for dinner that night. We had been running around Tacoma and Puyallup for my newborn son's appointments that day, and I was pretty exhausted. So naturally when my newborn woke up to eat in the store, I fed him. (Attached is a photo of how I was walking through the store.) Once we were finished shopping we went up to employee Madison's line. My husband took care of paying, while I helped my 4 year old get her coat on. By the time I was done with my daughter, my husband had finished paying. We shop at this Trader Joe's every month, and she knows they have stickers for kids. She politely asked for some, and he completely ignored her. I figured he might not have heard her, so I asked him if my daughter could have some stickers. He responded to me by saying "Maybe next time!" I gave him a confused look, and he continued to say in a very loud, condescending tone, and in front of a busy store... "I'm having a really hard time looking at your right now, and you are making me really uncomfortable." All while looking down and refusing to make eye contact with me. I was completely shocked, and embarrassed. I then walked up to management to let them know about this humiliating exchange. Max (a manger) was very apologetic and told me that it was not okay. He assured me that he would talk to Madison about the unacceptable behavior. I definitely appreciate how management handled the situation. This is for YOU Madison.... I hope you get a chance to read this. You use to be one of my favorite employees at this Trader Joes. I thought your customer service skills were always on point, and you were always so helpful. Even my husband thought highly of you! I picked your line that night because you were my favorite employee in that store. So imagine my surprise when you publicly shamed and embarrassed me for nurturing my son. You made me feel little. That what I was doing was so insulting to you, that you refused to give my daughter some stickers. Who were you trying to punish by refusing to give stickers to a child? Me or her? Because you were punishing her. Thankfully the sweet employee at the register behind you helped my beautiful daughter. I don't care if you don't agree with public breastfeeding. That doesn't give you a right to treat a nursing mother the way you did. You probably made this a big deal thinking people would agree with you. But no one did! Everyone looked at you with shock and disbelief on the way you treated me. Even your mangers were shocked when I told them about your crude behavior. If you can not handle looking or serving business to a breastfeeding mother, please leave the customer service industry. Many mother WILL breastfeed their hungry kids in public. I WILL continue to shop at this Trader Joes. I WILL continue to breastfeed my son in this store. And I WILL NOT hide from you! You will not make me feel bad for doing what's best for my son. Be thankful my very aware 4 year old was with me. I would have really given you a piece of my mind, and made more people aware of the asshole that you were already being to me. Instead, I just walked away. But be wary, next time you say anything like that to me or another breastfeeding mom... We may not walk away and you might not be able to handle what will be said back to you. You fully lost my respect today, and I will no longer boast about "That guy Madison, the awesome Trader Joes employee." But I will treat you with the same respect that you couldn't show me that night. read more

I love this place. The location is clean and well stocked, and the employees are always so kind and considerate. Once, a worker was putting a cart back but I was trailing behind him to get a cart myself. When he turned around and noticed me he said, "Oh my gosh! I'm sorry, if I knew you were behind me I would've given you a cart!" Just yesterday I bought ice cream here and the cashier put it in a separate plastic produce bag for me before putting it in the paper bag with the rest of my items so it wouldn't melt or get all over the place. It's always the little things that count! read more

We recently moved from Issaquah to Covington. I was surprised to find the Trader Joes in Kent was nicer. I love this Trader Joes specifically because it has great parking and extra wide aisles. I hate feeling like I'm constantly in everyone's way no matter where I stop with the cart. With the layout of this store, I don't feel that way at all. I like coming here to get freezer staples. The mandarin chicken and gyozas are bomb! This TJs also sells liquor at affordable prices. The employees are super friendly as well. read more

I agree with other reviews, this is a nice and spacious store. Quality is good. Prices are ok. The check out process can take a while if you have a full cart but they are pretty quick. I'm not the biggest fan of Trader Joes, especially some of their meats and limits on options on a few things but they do have a few products that I stop and get regularly. the frozen section is amazing and they have some great products. read more

If you like quality and fresh food, that's the place for you. As a vegan I finding a lot of tasty and healthy food for me but they definitely need to bring more vegetables and fruits options. read more

I will never not give Trader Joe's a 5 star review. The trader Joe's I visit in is Kent, and I live in Buckley. For those of you not in Washington state, that's a 40 minute drive! And I do it with my toddler. Usually my TJ's trips are big when I go because it is so far away. The Kent Tj's is very clean, has a good selection and the employees are always friendly. The jasmine rice, mac and cheese, mini ice cream cones, jalapeno cilantro hummus, three cheese pasta sauce, and everything bagel seasoning are my top items to buy. If I had to choose one item to recommend...please try the jalapeno cilantro hummus! read more

Yahoo! A Trader Joes within 10 minutes of my House. Pretty similar to most other Trader Joes, but it's Brand new and shiny. Now it's just a Short Drive to my Trader Joe's Coconut Oil and other tasty things to pack in my lunch on the days I am not eating out and Yelping. :) read more

Love this Trader Joe's - employees are outstanding! They have the best brioche, which is really hard to find and, of course, a great cheese selection, and, and, and. read more

Our new to go grocery store. So glad we don't have to commute all the way to Federal Way just to shop at one. Everything is inexpensive. I'm hooked on their macaroons and lava cake. My baby is a picky eater, but she will eat squash risotto, ravioli, and their meatballs. So glad for their delish frozen food. It's just hard to cook something good at times with a baby. Their service is also superb! read more

Still a fan of TJ's, but I'm updating my review after a colleague tipped me off to the value of their wine selection. While the produce continues to be of disappointing value for the price, and the cheeses too limited compared to other boutique grocery stores, you can get all you need for wine here, even when compared to other stores. After diving into a love for Malbecs, I'm now enjoying all that Argentina has to offer in their stores. The staff here is very friendly, but I'm really here for the wine. The vintages here could easily sell for $20-$40 at most locations, but here you will hardly spend $10 a bottle so you can stock up, have time to go somewhere else with better cheese and veggies, and get home to enjoy your high quality wine at home for a fraction of the price going out. My only issue with this store is the location, because they need to put a TJ's down in Kent Station, so the rest of us don't have to leave the Valley for unbeatable wine deals. Transit options here are not great, and walking/ biking up that hill in the summer heat or through a veil of smoke is a non starter. Beat the traffic and get there early before all the suburban moms arrive with their children. Ever tried to get up this way and back down to downtown Kent after work? Nobody does. read more

This was my first time shopping in a Trader Joe's (been in Alaska for awhile) and what the HELL. Good thing I noticed before I took a sip of my coffee that the coconut creamer I just purchased was filled with MOLD. I bought two, and both were nasty. Sell by date is May 2018- y'all better check them all! I'm not surprised to find this because judging by their defrosted freezer section (took me ages to find good mochi and ice cream that wasn't melted) the store isn't in the best of condition. Pictures in the comments. I will be returning these but will not be shopping here again. read more

I just had the best customer service experience. The checker accidentally missed 2 bags of my groceries that she had to set behind her because she had no room. When I got home-I discovered I was missing 10 items. I called-they immediately located it-and to my complete surprise-got my address and delivered it to me-and also handed me flowers and said they didn't want me to go back out. My heart is so full how kind and caring this business is. Thank you Trader Joes!!! read more

FINALLY Trader Joe's in KENT!!! - since first reading it in the newspaper they were coming I have been counting the days. The day arrived and it is a MEGA success! of course I went on opening day and the store was packed, packed with customers like myself who are like a kid in a candy shop - and staffed with a fabulous workforce. I am additional fortunate in the fact it is close enough that I can even walk to it. My family knows and understands from now on for birthday or Christmas just get me a Trader Joe's gift card. :) read more

Trader Joe's - the gift card everyone loves - Grocery Near Me - Kent, Washington

This Trader Joe's opened up a few months ago about 15 minutes away from my house, and I couldn't be any happier. It is a lovely grocery store. It's always clean, the staff is so upbeat and friendly, and the food choices are through the roof. New products are always being introduced too. My only complaint? You always end up buying more than you intended to!!! read more

So happy to see a TJ's in Kent. Wonderful store, great staff! I look forward to this TJ's team growing and being able to recommend products like the Federal way store! I love hearing what to pair with what :) read more

Love the urgency and service at this location, the staff are always very friendly and love small talks. what I love most about this particular location is their attentiveness to the customer, I needed a cart and within less than a minute I see someone rushing to grab me one. Love, love, love! read more

Clean. Organized. Great staff. Let me tell you about an incident that happen 6 months ago. My son was spazzing out jumping up and down as a 5 year old does and hit his head on the corner of the check out stand. His got his head good, cut it a bit. And crying terribly. I was scared. The staff just jumped on it. Got napkins. Ice pack. Stickers. Checked in with me. Him. And even gave me their card with a number to call if I needed anything later. Look I'm not sue happy like all these people now a days. This was not their fault. My son was jumping around and hurt himself. But they handled this professionally and tactfully. But also protected their asset as well as businesses need to do in such a graceful and professional way. I love shopping here. And the sampling they do too! read more

What a great place with reasonable prices and selection. People who working there with best attitude and always smiling

Probably the cleanest and newest of the ones I go to, love their selection, floral bunches are always a steal

Really such a great place to shop. Here you can get your normal Trader Joe's items, which include fruits, vegetables and other kinds of organic goodies. It is almost like a Whole Foods but for less money. Of course the variety is more limited and you may need to double shop at other places. All in all, it is a clean store and every employee will help you with a smile. read more
