I really like TJ'S. The friendly staff, laid back atmosphere,and healthy fresh foods always makes this place a pleasant shopping experience . The Trader Joe brand products are always a great choice. I particulary like the sweet potato fries, frozen veges, ice cream treats, and their great wine selection. I would avoid Saturdays if possible because the store gets very busy! read more

Everyone is always friendly! There's great healthy options, and it's far less overwhelming than major grocery chains. The quality is great & I've never had an issue with parking. read more

I typically visit the Trader Joe's in Cincinnati, but have been coming to this one because it is located conveniently on my way home from work. I love that the parking is much better here. I don't have to stalk someone walking to their car just to get a spot. Although it's a smaller store in comparison to other groceries, it is still spacious enough to not feel cluttered with all of the other shoppers. It is also not overwhelmingly busy, which means the check out lines are thankfully not too long. Their selection is also unique and specialized where you won't find many of their items at other stores. Once you check out, the cashiers are always really friendly. They make conversation and ensure you found everything you came in for. The only con I have with the store is there seems to be fewer employees walking the floor and making sure we do not need help. At most other Trader Joe's, there are employees walking simply for this reason. Most of the ones I see on the floor here are either stocking or running back and forth from the back to the front. Having more on the floor will keep us from waiting until the cashier asks if we found everything ok or having to locate a helper on our own. It slightly takes away from that great customer experience I feel at other Trader Joe's locations. read more

You can get Wild Rice here at only $5.00/lb! That's nearly 50% off other places like the market or Jungle Jim's....even online at places like Nuts Online! read more

This is the only store where I've stood in line just to get in to shop! But the line moves quickly, & well worth the short wait. They have beautiful, reasonably priced flowers! Also, they're the only place I can find Pomegranate seeds, which I eat daily. It's a "one-of-a-kind" friendly store! read more

Employees are awesome! Great feeling to be there. They never act "put-out" if you ask them a question or where to find things. Some other grocery store employees won't even make eye contact with you so you won't ask them anything. They do just the opposite here. Everyone is great. Unique offerings each visit. Only come about once a month. Love it. read more

I love this store. It always offer very fresh and tasty food. I always find something new and quality is so good. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I wish it is much closer to my home. read more

What an amazing store. We live in Athens, so when I pass a Trader Joe's, I stop. This store was larger than most I have visited, very clean and everything I wanted was available. The clerk who checked us out was very friendly. Cannot wait to be back in Dayton to stop again. read more

It was Sunday morning and I was was staying with my daughter Katie, her husband Thatcher and my grandson Jude for the weekend in Dayton. After the very cold weather and the Friday afternoon ice and snow storm we needed to get out of the house. I joined my daughter and grandson on an adventure. I love this location as the store is in an enclosed mall. It was warm inside and Jude could walk around and explore for a while before entering TJ's. I really like walking around at TJ's. It is such a fun Store. Plenty of carts were available but some customers seemed unwilling to slow down in getting one or let a mother put an almost 15 month old baby in one. We headed to the back of the store to get free samples of cheese that my grandson loved. Katie looked around for some items that she was low on in the kitchen at home. They had a lot of items with sales tags in the store. She found a couple of good bargains. I wish they had the free fruit for children at TJ's like you find at the Kroger's stores and Fresh Thyme. We were ready to leave after about 15 minutes. At the checkout lanes they had the great greeting cards for $0.99 and one of those TJ's candy displays with Birthday Cake chocolate bars for $1.49. It was so tempting. It was quick to checkout even though the store was fairly busy as my daughter said they are on Sunday mornings. The cashier was very friendly. He smiled and interacted with Jude. With high quality items and the new lower prices this TJ's store in a very convenient indoor strip mall is a great place to shop. Until next time be kind to each other.#yelpcincy read more

See all

We used to go to Trader Joe's and then across the street to the Kroger to complete our shopping trip. Nowadays we just hit TJ and head home, we've figured out how to get everything from one place and only occasionally do we have to run out to the regular grocery store. TJ's has a lot of good, different stuff, a lot of which you can get organic which is nice. They have pretty much everything we need - food, cleaning supplies, bathroom soaps, wine, beer etc. Everyone who works there seems pretty happy about it, and they're always very helpful and willing to make suggestions if you have questions. The only issues we've ever had are the following: 1. Sometimes you'll buy produce and a couple of days later it's moldy or on its way out - same goes for some baked goods. TJ's needs to keep a bit closer of any eye out for these things. 2. They often rotate items in and out with little or no notice, so one day your favorite toothpaste, pasta or sauce is there, and the next it's gone. Sometimes they bring them back, sometimes not. Other than that it seems a pretty solid place, although we'd like to see them bring more of their produce in from local folks rather than Peru, China and Mexico (unless it's some groovy unusual import item in which case, cool). read more

I love this place. The employees are always friendly & seem genuinely happy to help. There's always a coffee to sample, and usually food as well. They have good prices, unique items, and manage to have a nice selection in what looks like a small store. read more

Great friendly staff. Nice selection of premium quality foods at decent prices. Can't go wrong with enchilada sauce.

Trader Joe's has so much variety that I always go their for things you can not find elsewhere. Many tried nuts to choose from. Making baking a joy. read more

Oh, how I do love a trip to Trader Joe's. This would be my weekly grocery destination if I didn't live 20 minutes away (Kroger is right down the street, yo)! I love that I can get in and out of there in 30 minutes or less and have most of my shopping complete. The downside is that I usually make a second stop on the way home to purchase toiletries and/or bread and fresh vegetables. TJ's is a little lacking in the produce isle. But, I love their selection of most everything else...going there actually puts me in a good mood, as opposed to, say, Super Wal-Mart, which makes me near-suicidal. read more

This is about the only store in the entire state of Ohio where you can get some food that actually isn't processed, preserved, or corn syruped to death. read more

I've been here multiple times (20+ at least) and have never had one complaint it's one of my fav places to grab groceries that I can't find at the bigger grocery stores or if I want a quick grocery trip. My son stays entertained looking for the cow plush so he can get his free lollipop and trying the samples lol so it all works out! Certain produce is definitely lower priced than other stores which is also a plus. read more

Trader Joes has become part of our weekly shopping destination. Al tough we still buy the majority of our groceries at other stores, over time we have begun to purchase more items at Trader Joes. The store is convenient (away from the Malls) and everyone that works there is always pleasant. They have an excellent wine selection and we really enjoy the fish choices. read more

I came grocery shopping at 8am and was greeted with a nice surprise. An employee randomly gave me a bunch of tulips. I already loved this store, but how often does a guy get flowers from a woman? Thanks Emily. read more

It's a nice location, although I had to circle the complex to find it. They could benefit from better signage. That said it's a solid location. I live in California, so I was so glad to see a Trader Joe's in western OH. read more

Great place together fresh. foods at a very reasonable price. Love the three layer hummus!

This is a nice Trader Joe's not the biggest i've been too,but nice. With that said,it's great to have one here in Dayton. There is alot of vegan and vegetarian friendly food and the people that work their actually seem to enjoy their jobs. This is one of my go to places for groceries and it should be yours too! read more

As mentioned this store is a little snug inside-- the aisles are narrow but I don't think that the selection suffers at all. I'm just glad to have a TJ's in Dayton so I'm giving 5 stars. And because the staff is always so downright friendly. read more

I usually shop here on a weekday; today I was in the area, so stopped in. Much busier on a late Saturday morning, but still well stocked by friendly folks and checkout was a breeze...love TJ's! read more

I absolutely love this place wish it was a tad bigger!!!! They have a lot of neat food and other stuff, the employees are very helpful and very nice. Definitely going back soon :P read more

This was our first time and we were there with out of town guests that had given us a gift certificate. They had a wine tasting going on and the gentleman that was running it was so rude! We all six were stunned. Needless to say we picked up one item and left. I'm not sure when we will go back or if we will give the gift card to someone else to use. Our out of town guests said that their Trader Joe's is much friendlier so maybe we will use it in Wisconsin. read more

This place is a typical niche store for an organic/green demographic. It's packed with hipsters so be prepared to see some interesting people. Nothing I saw here was unobtainable elsewhere, they just stock more of it. Overall I wasn't very impressed and more so a bit disappointed. read more

Love the varieties of wine that are extremely reasonably priced for college students! The food is healthy, the customer service is awesome, and the prices are great. read more

I went to this store once. I have to say, I wasn't happy with it. The store itself is very small and hard to navigate. Furthermore, it is slightly pricey. It probably wasn't my type of store, because I came out of that place very unhappy. I don't think I will go back in the near future. read more

Great small specialized grocery. Many gluten-free options. High quality food at great prices!

Probably the friendliest and most helpful staff at a grocery store ever. I've been shopping at T Joes' for a long time. Yet to find a cranky staff!!! Great job guys. read more

My long experience with the company is not good. - Many dry foods are stale, though their expiration date is still far in the future. - The frozen fish is apparently inflated with fluids that allow the volume to decrease while cooking. - The wines are never good values, considering the poor quality. - The company has a practice of eliminating loss leaders fairly quickly, even if the product has some good to great quality. Two examples are eliminated cashew butter and two or three variants of the salt scrubs. read more

Bruce, Bill and the wine "pourers" are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful... and they always offer a good time!

Super impressed with the price of coffee and produce here! I can't praise the employees of this location enough. They have always gone out of their way to help me. read more

just like my former trader joe's only in ohio and like 20 times less crowded. staff was helpful per usual. if you haven't been to tj it's worth checking out for no other reason than their high quality (and reasonably priced) prepared goods. i make the extra 7 minute drive out here for items such as their soups, gyoza potstickers, taquitos, frozen vegetable mixes, etc. perfect choices to heat up after a long day if you don't feel like cooking. pro tip: tj has a good wine selection with incredible value. since the bottles are reasonably priced, go ahead and buy a bunch of bottles because there are some serious gems hidden among them. for example - the sicilia nero d'avola for under $10. it was consistently sold out at my previous tj for good reason. it quickly became my house red after discovery. read more

I've been shopping at this location ever since it opens in our neighborhood. If you are a "clean" eater, this is the place. Not only they guarantee you can read the ingredients from each package, they also challenge you to find a package that you can't read the ingredients. That just shows you the type of products Trader Joe's carries. They also want the customers to try new things. So if there is anything you purchase with "Trader Joe's" name on it that you don't like, just bring it back for refund or exchange with something else! No question ask!!! I've tried many items, such as frozen dinner, juice, cookies.... etc. I just bring the item back (the frozen dinner, I just bring the outside package) to the store for refund/exchange with something else. They also have all different type of IPA and wine. If you have not visited here, you have to give it a try! Most of the products are cheaper than other chain stores..... and none of them would let you return an open product for refund!!! So why not to give it a try?!! read more

Hollygolightly, went to Tiffany's when she had the mean reds, which are worse than the blues. I go to Trader Joes. It's a throw back from the 60's California style, which is where it originated and have most stores. You can never have a bad day once you step inside Trader Joes. I love the atmosphere, the people (staff & shoppers), and the music. It's like no other grocery store. I first encountered it when I lived in Los Angeles, now I live in Dayton, OH and I'm so glad this city has a Trader Joes. In fact I tell the staff there, if Trade Joes leaves this city so will I, because I refuse to live in a city without a Trader Joes. Are you supposed to love your grocery store this much? read more

I haven't been here in a while so I decided to check it out again. They have a lot of fun processed food choices. The produce is definitely not local but they do a decent job of giving us the basics. They have some organic meats but they are packaged, no meat counter that I saw. The bakery items are all pre-packaged as well, but they have some fun things. They have a lot of gluten free choices. The one thing I don't like about Trader Joe's is that they private label everything and don't tell you where the food is coming from. I like to know where my food comes from and who is producing it. This is definitely a fun store and I really liked it before it became so commercialized and expanded. They are owned by a billionaire family in Germany, the same family that owns Aldi. Not local for sure. I think they are doing a decent job and it appeals to younger crowds. I like the bagged nuts and trail mixes as well as some of the cookies. They have good frozen dinners if you eat those sort of things. The sodium counts are still so high but if you need a quick frozen dinner, I love the vindaloo chicken. Their frozen veges are great too. This is not my weekly/daily grocery store but I have great memories of shopping here and the staff always makes me smile. read more

This is a great place to get all your awesome rare grocery's. I would much rather shop here than at DLM. Deff check out Earth Fare if you are in the Centerville area though. I like Trader Joe's, but Earth Fare is pretty amazing. read more

I do love this store for a few reasons. They do have the best selection of nuts and trail mixes. I love their cheeses too. My favorite of all is the frozen gyoza, which is pot stickers. Very good price and far better than any I have ever bought anywhere else. I also buy frozen pizza dough here because it is difficult to find anywhere else. I even like the little mints in tin cans right by the check out. Fantastic price. The candy selection is awesome too. Yep I do love this store. Oh yes and the people who work there are always very friendly. read more

Trader Joe's is very fun for the whole family to go to. For the (older) kids, there is a new thing called "Stroopy the Cow" and they have to find it in order to get a delicious, organic lollipop. For everyone else (and the kids) you benefit from delicious, relatively healthy foods and great customer service. I also come for the delicious tastings that they have of their different food products. read more
