The best location ever
Buck W.

This has to be the best Trader Joe's location in America. Situated right next to Marina Del Rey and the big REI store it offers a Hollywood style experience. First of all, it's huge. Way bigger than your average store. Even before you enter you're greeted by rows and rows of flowers, fruit, vegetables all artfully arranged like a magazine shoot. The customers are the coolest, hippest most beautiful group you've ever seen. You almost wish you could pull up a chair and just people watch. Staff all as helpful and friendly as you'd expect. Best part is the store has tables and chairs outside to sit and watch the boats. It's right on the bike path so I'll be stopping often.

Ahhh

Palm trees. Ample but tight parking. Boats. Yachts. Water. Wide open, airy store. Great selection. Samples! Washroom. Everything is so clean. Employees... Friendly and talkative. The best! Even dancing. I love the music they play here. Purchased this date into the luggage was body oil, spices and coffee! Best TJs I have ever been to!

Love this location! It's spacious, organized, and easy to navigate on a crowded visit. The staff is friendly (of course) and always willing to assist with a product search. The parking is not as intimidating as it looks.

Shopping for Manchego cheese.

We Love this store. It sits right on the Marina looking over the water. You can dock your boat with access to Trader Joe's. We are always greeted on Fridays by Kimberly and Angelina. I bring my father here to shop. These two ladies in particular make it a point to make conversation with my dad. It is the highlight of his week. We look forward to our next vis

Happy Mother's Day. Who doesn't love shopping at their local TJ's, especially this one which is located right along the marina. Plenty of shopping goodies to choose from walking up and down the aisles. The wifey was looking for those collector bags because one is not enough for her collection. You can actually enjoy some of the food you buy at the table and chairs that are right outside.

Trader Joe's at The Marina!

Great location in Marina Del Rey on Admiralty Way. Groceries, snacks, wine, flowers and all. Free parking, nice friendly people, easy access. View of boats and Yachts on the water. So cool for a Market nearby. Off Lincoln Blvd and Fiji Way. Alternative to Ralph's. Biggest Trader Joe's around here. Come check this TJ out.

I have visited several Trader Joes locations and I have to say this is one of the best locations I have visited so far. The store is located next to the waterfront at the Marina. The store is clean and well stocked but smaller in size compared to other stores. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Parking is very challenging with limited spaces and only two ways to get in/out.

Yuri poses for a photo then chases me in the street and says he didn't want his photo taken. Why is he posing for photo then?
Ike V.

On August 5, 2025, I entered Trader Joe's in Marina del Rey with my small dog in the cart, as I've seen other customers do with their dogs (on leashes, in purses, etc.) without signage prohibiting it. An employee, Yuri, approached me aggressively, yelling that my dog couldn't be in the store and wasn't a service animal. I explained that my dog is trained to alert me when my phone vibrates for medication reminders, but he dismissed this without asking about its role and demanded I leave, offering no alternatives like leashing the dog, which I would have done to comply. I agreed to leave but asked to take Yuri's photo for documentation. He consented and posed with his badge visible (see photo). As I walked to my car, Yuri followed me into the parking lot, recorded me and my dog with his phone, and acted in a way that felt threatening. I asked him to stop recording due to my discomfort, but he continued. I recorded him as well to ensure my safety. This escalation shocked me, especially since I've shopped here often and seen dogs welcomed. I'm disappointed by this unprofessional behavior, which seems inconsistent with Trader Joe's pet-friendly reputation and the typically friendly demeanor of their associates. I have contacted corporate about this incident and hope they address it to ensure fair treatment, especially for customers with service animals. P.S. The attached photo shows Yuri posing voluntarily for documentation, as I requested. He later claimed he chased me to scare me into deleting the photo, which I find concerning and inconsistent with his initial consent.

Although I started coming to this location as of last week it was your courteous staff that made me…read morereturn to this location verses the other one HOWEVER today I was a bit annoyed how the morning manager or whomever the bald gentleman was at the self check-out (wore an olive green either jacket or pull over sweater) of his lack of attention verses his cell phone. I purchased fresh rolls but they only have the Krispy Kreme bags and I didn't realize the bag has a upc code so unfortunately it scanned although I knew what I was going to type and the qty but the system will call for help, even when I didn't need it... Well lets just say when I saw him he was on his cell phone texting and when I politely said excuse me he put his finger to basically tell me to wait and he then proceeded to text whomever he was texting rather than help a customer...I was then annoyed. I explained what occurs and he said for just a donut (as if he wasn't aware) and I said not for 2 rolls but the only bags available at the KK bag that contains a upc code so it triggers the system thinking I needed help when it's not needed. At the end unfortunately he needed to authorize a final time although we both know its now a 2-step process. Again I had to say excuse me I need your authorization...not polite, not managerial like, as if I was bothering him to do his job (wow). Again while the other staff, even a nice lady that runs the front makes it worth while coming here, he turned me off to not even want to come back. While telling staff to not have their phone out to text maybe you should do the same with this particular manager. 3 stars are for the rockstar staff but minus two for the manager you chose to hire.

Gerbacio in produce was really friendly and humorous. I learned that this location offers fresh fried fish which is not something I normally would think Ralphs would have but Ebony had shared some samples with us. Plenty of parking in the large lot. Venice can get busy but didn't have a hard time finding a spot.

Had a rendezvous with my mother at her favorite Ralphs here in the marina as opposed to mine in…read moreCulver City. Quite naturally, she was able to locate things at this particular location that mine have, but in different aisles and sections of the store. And of course with me being the good son, I paid for the various items she wanted. What I wasn't prepared for was this awesome duo of David and Santiago, both of whom offered levels of customer service as a collective tandem that I had yet to see in a grocery type of setting. Despite a line behind us, cashier David went out of his way to separately bag numerous dish detergent soaps my mom had gotten, clearly pointing out how the last thing we would want would be any soap remnants leaking onto our groceries which ironically enough has happened to us before. Santiago handled the bagging aspect of the transaction with a smooth flow, smile, and great personality, enabling us to get in and out in no time. You can tell these two gel well, and it's clearly a credit to the Ralph's brand, and at the very least this storm particular.

I didn't my Thanksgiving dinner shopping at Ralph's this year--and they did not disappoint!…read more They had EVERYTHING stocked and ready to go--from Organic herbs/products to canned goods, etc. The store was clean, organized and mostly easy to find what I needed. There were maybe two items I could not find on my own. When I asked the staff for help, I was met with kindness and enthusiastic help. They didn't just point and say "over there." I was walked over, asked clarifying questions, and helped with my search. Then voilà--found! I left with a 25lb turkey, all the ingredients I needed for the bird + side dishes, and--a smile! Thanks Ralph's team! You can 100% count on me as a returning customer. :)

Yay...SO, on my way home I decided to come here. Ever since my local Whole Foods closed, I have not ventured over to the Venice behemoth store!!! It's a bit overwhelmingly ginormous!

Ofc, I spent the entire gift card $ on some delicious items to help me completely get over this flu which has lasted almost 10 days!

I did get a flu shot this year but the new strain is long lasting... I wore a super protective mask that fit snugly over my face even though I was told I couldn't spread it to anyone! Better to safe than sorry! Afterall, we are in this world together!!! Some good sales, but a complete and well deserved gift to myself!

I noticed they have security in all areas of the store. Just be vigilant, if you're gonna be using their restrooms, I had a weird interaction in there with a lady. The grocery store is as expected for Whole Foods for their selection items, hot foods, prepared foods, juice bar/cafe. Parking is always packed. It's not a great location but if you're just in need of your groceries it's still a good place to go.
