My kid love their yogurts so every couple weeks I stopped by to pick them up. This location is near my place and it got great , helpful and friendly staff here. Smaller then other but I like it. Parking is easy and fresh veggies and plenty of choices with reasonable prices. Enjoys shopping here for over decades.

The sole reason why the Marketplace Long Beach center is staying afloat (IMHO). Dead businesses surround the premises of the Marketplace Long Beach. However, Trader Joe's is the anchor store which supports all the adjacent businesses. I've been here many a-time, and have enjoyed shopping here. This location has more registers than the Cerritos location. However, it does feel a bit more cramped during checkout. Also, the public restroom is located far back inside the inner workings of the building. Sorta akin to an Italian restaurant leading guests through the kitchen prior to seating. The Cerritos Trader Joe's still has my heart, but the Marketplace Long Beach Trader Joe's is a must visit, whenever I happen to frequent 2nd & PCH, or the surrounding area.

Parking is always hectic in their shared lot, and the aisles are hectic with shoppers, and there's always 25 workers restocking the shelves exactly where the thing is you're looking for and let's be real the whole vibe here is hectic lol but the one saving grace is the quick checkout and friendly cashiers. They're usually pretty upbeat and not in a cringey way. The lines are never too long. And they have the best cookies ever, the chocolate vanilla crème JoeJoe's! Photos by my 4 year old!

this is my favorite TJs to visit when i lived in LB and when i visit and need to pick up groceries! they have the friendliest team members and everything is usually in stock. this location has very high foot traffic, esp on the wknds! i needed to pick up bananas, unfortunately, they only had organic, which was fine so i picked up a bunch i also purchased the danish kringle (the BEST kringle ever!!) in the pecan flavor i loved the almond and now patiently waiting for raspberry! parking: spacious lot, may need to circle a few times if you want close parking. otherwise no issues if you park further away

Was a bit of a mad house today. I just came for steak and cereal lol. Extremely busy, and the empty are always so nice here. I gotta come back after the thanksgiving madness lol

The best reasons to go to this TJ's are roomy aisles, great flower selection, and the store isn't too cold. Doesn't feel like a walk-in freezer. Probably cuz it's Orange County parking is never an issue. Well stocked, employees are friendly and knowledgeable as usual. The employees enjoy working here, a laid back, team-oriented work environment. Plus they have cool contests (see pic). More Trader Joe's need to have fun contests!

Rotten grapes

I just don't know what's going on with the fruits lately. Purchased on Sunday and already molded and/or gone bad. I had to toss out the raspberries, the grapes, the blackberries and the cantaloupe.

Unicorn Gypsophila
Jennifer K.

I came to Trader Joe's because I heard they have beautiful flowers for a cheap price. I usually get my flowers from Costco and Target so I was curious. I was shocked, the selection was big and beautiful. The flowers ranged from $4.99-$5.99 (I believe), and then the big, tall flower with a flower pot was $20ish (I can't remember the exact price). The flowers were all bright and colorful, and they all looked so full of life. I noticed there was an employee that was getting rid of the dead flowers. I was able to pick up some Unicorn Gypsophila. I intentionally went to get plain white baby breaths, but these caught my eye. They were so simple and so beautiful. The price is also eye catching, $4.99. Amazing. The employees were also super kind and welcoming. The same employee that was getting rid of the dead flowers also helped us with stuck shopping carts. He noticed us and helped us with them. We also brought our own bag, and the cashier bagged our groceries for us. This Trader Joe's is super clean, and everything is very well organized. I would come here again, and I may start getting my flowers at Trader Joe's!

No need to discuss their products as to me all TJs carry the same things and so it comes down to customer service.

It's my first visit to Vons since they closed down the store I shopped at in Bixby Knolls…read more This store is located on a busy street with very limited parking. On any given day when I drive by I see a lot of random people hanging out loitering and dancing or they appears to be in their own world if you get my drift. It's one of the main reasons I haven't stopped by this location. No worries they have security guards and are well staffed. At times It's a little unkempt in front and the immediate area but the inside of the store is large well stocked and very tidy. Upon entering I immediately like what I see the store is packed with people kind smiling faces and aisle upon aisle of specialty items foods and such that makes my day and I grab a few things from every aisle that I visit. I'm obsessed with soo many things I have to be careful not spending too much money. BelGioioso Provolone Cheese And Genoa salami snacking rolls. It was delicious. 10/10 Mango cheesecake It wasn't very tasty the cheesecake was dry and flavorless the mango topping surprisingly didn't taste fresh or fruity. 4/10 I tossed it. Casamigos Reposado Tequila A gift for my daughter. 10/10 $70 Tillamook Dark Cherry Ice cream. Rich and creamy flavor but this batch had hardly any cherries. 8/10 Eggnog Store brand thick and rich I'm glad I bought some this year. 8/10 Chamoy pickle. Bought for my daughter. 8/10 They have a sandwich area for fresh made sandwiches the menu looks amazing I'll come back to try one including a pack of French butter. I am so glad I gave this location a visit the store is really nice and the staff are cool and helpful as well. It's my new favorite store. Until next time it's just me Shawn C.

I went here for a very simple task: purchase a mylar balloon in the shape of a 3 (to celebrate my third recovery birthday). I found the balloon (yay!), but I couldn't find anyone to help me fill it! Customer Service said the attendant would be back shortly. I waited 15 minutes and decided to fill it myself. So ridiculous it's comical...

Belmont Heights is so lucky to have great local businesses like this one…read more Ma 'n Pa Grocery is the cutest pop-up grocery around. They have all your typical liquor store needs: alcohol, sodas, snacks, beach items, etc. But they also come packed with fruits and veggies and favorite premade lunch/dinner items. You'll find an extensive selection of coleslaw, sandwiches, desserts, pre-marinated meats and more. I recently grabbed a turkey sandwich on a hoagie roll and a slice of lemon bundt cake (my payment for doing a social activity.) I noticed several people ordering their large steamed artichokes, so I'll need to return to fully understand the hype! Their catering menu is pretty extensive - it legit includes 20+ meat options. I definitely plan to take advantage of this when my parents visit next.

The location is convenient and right on the corner, with decent seating and a good vibe from the music. I was also greeted as soon as I walked in, and the staff was quick to start taking my order and directed me to the burrito menu. I did have to take a moment to look over everything, but service overall was friendly and attentive. The coffee was actually pretty good, priced around $2.99-$3.99 with a few creamer options. As for the food, the burrito itself was okay--good, but nothing extraordinary or better than what you could make at home. It comes with meat, egg, cheese, salsa, and additional add-ons like potatoes and extra cheese are charged separately. My main concern was the condition of the space: it felt very cluttered, with items stacked everywhere and a noticeable lack of cleanliness that made it hard to overlook. While the atmosphere and convenience have their appeal, I would rate the experience a 3.2 out of 5 overall, mainly due to cleanliness concerns and the food not quite living up to the hype. Total $18 large coffee no refills and the burrito pretty pricey

I had already shopped at this store earlier in the morning and the day before with no issues, so I did not expect any problems. Everything was fine until it was time to check out. When I attempted to pay, my card was not working properly. As soon as I informed Coby that I was having trouble with my card, he became visibly annoyed and angry. Instead of offering help or trying to resolve the issue, he immediately took an aggressive and hostile tone. I calmly asked if there was another way to process the payment or if I could manually enter my card information, but he yelled at me and said he "can't do that" and that I needed to leave. Rather than assisting me or calling someone who could help, he put my groceries on the floor, refused to continue the transaction, and repeatedly told me to leave the store because my card was not working. He made it very clear that he did not want me there and had no interest in helping, even though customer service should be part of his job. When I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager, he dismissively told me that he was the supervisor, leaving me with no other option. His behavior was humiliating, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. Other employees have helped me in similar situations before without any issue, but instead of helping, Coby chose to yell at me and force me out of the store. This experience made me feel disrespected and unwelcome, and it seriously reflects poorly on the store. No customer should be treated this way simply because of a temporary payment issue. Also keep in mind I've been coming to this Ralph's for over 7 years NEVER had such an rude experience ever since tonight Coby needs to be retrained or informed basic polite customer service this is absolutely unacceptable.

I come here looking for specific things like natural maple syrup and high quality flour. I tend to not get fruits and I tend to find more items here from small businesses than brand name spots, so I'll sporadically find things here to impulse buy. They also have lots of prepared self-service hot foods and a poke bar if you want a meal to go. My favorite thing here are their fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, priced at $3.75. They sell so many of them, that they're constantly putting out fresh batches. I've come in four times this year for it and it's been hot and fresh every time! I find that outstanding as I've been to stand alone bakeries with cookies that weren't as fresh as they are here. The cookie is massive and has high quality ingredients you can taste. It's as good of a chocolate cookie as you can find anywhere. Come get some, because if they keep up the high turnover, then I can keep eating them hot and fresh!
