The best TJs in our metro area! Mr. Jon and Carlette always go out of their way to help me find new items. Their friendly employees and amazing snacks/ sweets keep me coming back. Due to new store openings, this location is easier to navigate now. read more

The food is awesome, ambiance is clean, and the workers here will bend over backwards to help ANY customer. In return they get a staff of awesome misfits that are a reflection of the customers in the region.... Just look at the reviews. Since my request to open a store in Metairie, they have expanded onto Tulane. A place where they CAN GO, that giant stores cannot.... Because the local restaurants in this area require quality, not quantity. read more

All of the fantastic food and environment that one could ask for as it comes to foo, hospitality and family.

Love, love, love this Trader joe's! This is my closest TJ's and it's always well stocked, clean, they get the new stuff, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and happy! I can count on one finger how many times I've gotten a Trader Joe's product here that I didn't love. So much organic, so much local , so much good! My latest obsession is the snackable seaweed. But if I were only left to one grocery store it would be TJ's! read more

Restocking my favs with Trader Joe's is a must. I always feel like Alice in wonderland (only when she's intrigued curious). They have the best options for great tasting healthy pre made lunch ideas. I'm trying to keep good picks in reach, while staying fit in order to keep up with my daughter. She recently started school and let me tell you it's a struggle to eat right on the go. But y'all always come through with the goods, to keep mommy going and properly fueled. So I got to yelp about it. Having quick options that taste good is a must with added feelings of bliss, I mean no one wants to be healthy on brick, dirt, and saw tasting goods. I'm not saying there's never a miss a TJ's but I'm pleased 95% of the time. Especially with my bill. I don't have to walk out with the embarrassment of sticker shock look, and the want to return everything and try somewhere else for a better deal. Because I will leave a basket at the register and ask the cashier to help me put everything back real quick (okay I'm lying) haha. Funny how I thought this place was overrated several years ago, I feel like that may have been another woman back then read more

I visit this Trader Joes as a part of my weekly grocery routine. I have my staples which includes the amazing produce and snacks and every now and then I'll try something new because it's hard to pass on Ube ice cream or Triffle potatoe chips. One of my favorite parts about TJs is the floral selection. I love creating my own arrangements and love raiding their bouquet wall for my next creation. They have a gorgeous array of options to choose from. I'm also always pleased to be greeted with kindness by all of the employees. It's easy to make a new friend while traversing the crowded aisles in search of treasure. TJs employees are known for being some of the most present and helpful. It took me a while to catch the Trader Joe's train but since I've been on, I never want to get off!! read more

Ah yes, Trader Joe's, the place where you get things that are different than your regular grocery store. This location looks like all the others, maybe a little larger in the produce section. The staff are always friendly and helpful. It's nice to have a chat during checkout. Im always buying too much bread, especially sourdough, as it's always good bread. Im here at least once a week but forget to review. read more

This is a great Trader Joe's. I like the layout, it's large enough and the checkers move the lines fast. I found everything I needed and after visiting other grocery stores for several months, the cost difference is notable. The parking is tough but the money you save makes it worth it. read more

I love shopping at Trader Joe's. I don't shop here often, but when I do, I always find what I need. The store is always clean and the staff is always nice and helpful. The produce is always fresh and well stocked. They have beautiful flowers as well. My favorite when I come here are the frozen meals. I love keeping these in the freezer for days when I don't want to eat out but I want something filling. And they're quick and easy to prepare! My only negative about the store is that it's small and parking is a bit tight. read more

I am a regular at Trader Joe's. Seth was very helpful yesterday. I rate him a 5 across the board!

I absolutely love Trader Joe's. I know we are behind in Louisiana as friends and family in other places had these decades ago but hey at least we got one and more to come here in La. There's nothing bad to say unless you dislike big busy crowds. If you get lucky on certain days it's not as bad though. I just sometimes feel like I'm in someone's way if we're hovering round the same section. Anyway never had a problem here the multiple times I went, just never made a review. The place looks like all the others all over the country. Just cute. The prices are great. The snacks are great. The holiday items are yum, tough when dieting but there's something for everyone. Would rather my kid eat snacks from here than anywhere else. The staff is super friendly whenever you need something they're quick to help. read more

Great food selection, very fresh produce, best prices around. Although the store always has a crowd of shoppers, it is kept clean and orderly. Even the restrooms are well maintained. The extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and pleasant employees are all around the store and quick to offer assistance. They know their merchandise: their recommendations are on point. It is always a pleasure to shop at Trader Joe's. Location is very convenient and there is a large, clean parking lot shared by several businesses. Usually the lot is pretty full, but I can always find a spot. read more

Love this Trader Joe's! I enjoy cooking and they always stock the special ingredients I look for, from mushroom seasonings, to the Halloumi cheese I was shopping for today! You walk in the entrance to a lovely array of flowers and smiling faces. The staff are so friendly and helpful. It must be a fun place to work! Shop here! You won't be disappointed. I have never been. read more

This is one of my favorite grocery stores to shop. They have a great selection of healthy food. The store is clean. The clerks are always friendly and very helpful.

Trader Joe's is unique in its own way. The prices are pretty good if you are buying stuff made from their own brand but if you want a few of the "name brand" items than of course it costs a bit more. I wouldn't recommend shopping here for all of your groceries bc you won't find everything but it is a good place to go if you need to meet a budget and healthy alternatives. Staff is always pretty nice/helpful and they have really durable grocery bags that can be used after shopping. Other than that inside can be pretty hectic some days and other days can be pretty calm but it always is clean and in stock. read more

Short on fresh / good red rouses. Other wise excellent store due to it's price and quality

I have no comments about their store or service. They are not the best neighbors. A 18 wheeler has been parked for over an hour blocking a fire hydrant and right next to a No Truck Parking sign. The truck is from Brisk Transportation , LLC in Terrell TX and is truck number 24021. If this was an isolated incident I would not complain but this is all the time. read more

Shoutout to crew member Khloé for helping me out this morning by going above and beyond to grab something I needed from the back of the store. She even updated me by letting me know they had to move some pallets and that she would come find me. I was able to continue shopping and she brought the product to me quicker than I expected before I was done shopping. I worked in grocery for a few years and I can say Khloé has exceptional customer service and work ethic! I've been shopping here for 5 years now and the service has always been amazing. Thank you Trader Joe's Metairie! read more

I Love Trader Joe's for numerous things, just to get started. When we hit Cali we pick up ready made meals for the hotel and the beaches, ready made sandwiches, salads, fruits, vegetables, nuts assorted granola bars drinks and chips. So check out Trader Joe's. read more

Love this store! Always clean and well organized! Despite COVID, they haven't missed a beat. They get tricks daily! EARLY bird gets the worm! I push myself to go first thing in the morning. All produce and veggies are fairly priced. I love their 5 layer dip, it's sinful! I love their fresh flower selection as well! read more

Trader Joe's is freaking amazing, but honestly who doesn't know that already Whenever I walk in to the store, I can automatically can feel the difference in the atmosphere versus any other grocery store I visit. Everyone usually is sooooo nice and really happy to be there, whether they are shoppers or workers. The cashiers are expert baggers and will chat with you about your day, which shows they are totally passionate about their jobs and providing exceptional customer service. They are genuine. I'm starting to fall in love with multiple items in the store. The best thing is if you Nate certain about a particular product and ask the right worker they will give the item free! I mean it can't get any better than that! They also have great flowers bunches and succulents. The best thing is they ensure they have enough staff working to support the intense high volume crowd through out the day which is nice to see them constantly stocking new products meaning everything at any given time is fresh. Trader Joe's is a budget Whole Food that has taken over! read more

Great to see a Trader Joe's in Metairie with convenient location off of Veterans. Parking lot can get crowded during peak weekend times, may need to park further out in the lot. Great to see the large papayas here. The raspberries can get moldy. Otherwise it's a standard Trader Joe's with great prices and all the essentials. read more

Trader Joe's is my goto store for several high quality low price groceries you can't find anywhere else. This is a great place to stock up on good wines at very reasonable prices. They have everything from Champagne, Sparkling Wines, Wine in Cola cans! And Wine in a BOX that your high class friends will enjoy--just don't tell them it's from a box! The quality of wine is Good to OutStanding depending on your budget. And when checking out they will put it all in a carry out box for you! Items such as Almond Milk, Turkey Bacon and regular large Eggs are of the best quality and checkout clerk opens the eggs them to make sure they are not cracked! Trader Joe's also carries their own branded cereals. For easy to cook meals I buy their ready to cook fried rice (Chicken, Japanese or Vegetable) along with a shrimp stir fry, broccoli & beef stir fry or a Mandarin Orange Chicken. Honestly I buy all of these and more to cook throughout the week. And what makes Trader Joe's truly the BEST place for grocery shopping is their employees who are more than happy to make a recommendation or give advice if you need help. They also have TWO employees at each check out station which is the fastest anywhere! It took maybe less than 2 minutes for me to checkout with two bags of groceries and a box loaded with 8 bottles of wine.. I highly recommend Trader Joe's for high quality groceries, wine and excellent service, but go on a weekday afternoon to avoid the crowds. read more

Trader Joe's - flowers - Grocery Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

This is a Trader Joe's... if you've never been and are looking for a fun frozen or prepped foods section, plus some great produce, this is the place to stop. Also if you want fresh flowers, they almost always have a great selection of florals. I've really only started coming to this specific location during the Pandemic, and I know it's not entirely fair to judge it versus "normal" times, but that is the only measurement I have for this particular location. I have a friend who lives and dies by this locale and loves to shop here whenever possible. They have been trying to be really good about monitoring people as they come in and out of the store, limiting the numbers, wiping down carts, having plenty of cashier lanes open so that people don't get too bunched up while they're waiting. The line often extends down the length of the store, and sometimes the depth, of people just waiting to get in while they're limiting the numbers. Unfortunately, once you're inside, it still feels entirely too cramped to be safe, or to make for even a pleasant shopping experience. The staff is top notch, and I know they're trying, so it's a good experience overall. read more

I have a strong infatuation with Trader Joe's and I tell everyone who listens that it is my go to grocer. They have almost all of my necessities and grocery needs. But the service is top notch, and it keeps me coming back! The food selection especially the quality of fresh produce and meat cannot be beat. There are no big box brands sold here, all private label foods, except for the wine and alcohol section. TJ's is known for their frozen foods-- since everything is high quality, delicious, and semi healthy with limited preservatives, added sodium, or sugar compared to national brands. The frozen foods are great if you need to pop something in the oven if you're having guests over, or if you need to fill up your own fridge. Every time I shop here, I always pick up something new and I have yet to be disappointed. The price point is also a little lower than the local Rouse's and has more of a selection than Target. During the pandemic, the staff has gone above and beyond following capacity limits and providing tents to shoppers waiting in the line to get inside. Every time I've shopped, no matter the time, I've been offered water. read more

If you haven't been here yet and you're reading reviews to decide if the trip is worth it, let me just say...GO HERE. The biggest piece of advice I can give is to go with someone who shops here regularly. If you need a TJs sherpa, just message me. But seriously...what are you waiting for? read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Metairie, Louisiana

Interesting grocery store. I don't have any negative comments, but I don't have any positive comments. I realize that there is a tremendous amount of hype regarding Trader Joe's. They have a number of specialty items that you cannot find anywhere else, but when we got there, this past February, the store shelves were mostly empty. The food that we were able to purchase was good, but costly. My family could have stayed home and shopped our local grocery store for cheaper. 3 Stars for the customer service. read more

I've been shopping at Trader Joe's for so many years, that I actually remember what it used to look like with rows of nuts, dried fruits and muesli, isles of wines(when 2$ buck chuck was actually 2$), no frills.....and the staff in Hawaiian shirts. Then they grew and added bright colored signage and reusable totes, expanded their stocks. It was my number one go to for everything I needed in California. Then I moved in 2005 and I longed for TJs....every time I visited I purchased copious amounts of stuff that I would pack as souvenirs to bring back with me. I even requested a certain kind of bread for family and friends to load into their carry ons when visiting or returning home. Then the heavens parted and Trader Joe's came to New Orleans. Anyone from California will understand why we all cried tears of joy. I laugh at people who I see shopping now, long gone are the health food people or laid back beach residents; Now replaced by yoga attired folks, hipsters and ladies from Metairie, it makes for a good giggle. I can't wait to see if they build one down in the bayou.....I can only hope and pray or change my address. HOT TIP!: Read and shop from their flyer mag. Not only is it good fun reading, it will alert you on special limited supply items. Like the Magnums of Prosecco I bought for a song at Christmas, that made the best hostesses gifts over the holidays, I only wish I had bought more.... read more

I usually love going to Trader Joe's and have never had a bad experience but Kendall, my cashier, made sure to ruin that. Not sure what she was so pissed off about but she was aggressively grabbing and throwing everything in my basket. Like genuinely slamming my belongings. She also just had an overall nasty NASTY attitude in general. Also, I was talking to my mom about it (bc I was so shocked)and she told me her cashier was an asshole last time, GUESS WHAT...checked her receipt..it was Kendall. Kendall idk who peed in ur cheerios but ur a mean person. Mean mean person KENDALL. read more

Love this store, the workers are always so friendly and really hard working. In particular Kendall really makes my day anytime I'm in her line! My groceries are always bagged extremely well and she pays attention to detail such as eggs and fragile stuff bagged very carefully. Workers like Kendall really make my day and gives me a reason to shop at traders joes and buy their products!! I appreciate all the wonderful workers at Trader Joe's in Metairie especially Kendall!!! read more

First visit back after COVID. Very impressed with the organization of the store and how well the workers enforced physical distancing, store capacity and masks. While there was a line that wrapped around the store, the wait wasn't too bad. They even have an employee out offering water bottles to customers!! Besides the food, they had a wonderful selection of flowers, plants and succulents. I've always appreciated that Trader Joe's was reasonably priced. Portions of food are perfect for people living by themselves. read more

TJs is my preferred grocer. I don't have the privilege of living near by, but I still drive out to this location (165 miles from home) once every month or two to stock up on my favorites. Cooler in car, of course. Snacks galore. TJs has introduced me to so many snacking options over the years. Frozen food heaven. Produce is inexpensive. Live plants that are unique. So much goodness in one store. read more

I don't know where to begin, because Trader Joe's is just a different grocery experience. The parking lot can be a little congested on the weekends, so I usually shop here during the week. This location is the first and only Trader Joe's I've ever visited, and I must say that I really like it. The prices are very competitive and they carry some pretty cool merchandise - lots of organic, natural foods. They also have a fairly large selection of frozen foods. If you impromptu entertain a good bit, their frozen section is full of finger foods that are perfect to pop in the oven at a moments notice. They also have a great cheese section, and near the cheese, voila, the wine. If you're a Gouda cheese fan, they carry a great aged one - 1000 Days. It. Is. So. Good. Please know that you aren't likely to find specific brands here, as most items are packaged as their own. They also lack a fresh butcher section, but they do have a selection of prepackaged meats, that works if you're looking for things like chicken or pork. I can't neglect to mention the customer service, because I think these folks fell from heaven. Their employees are some of the nicest people on the planet. I have shopped here on my most hurried and harried days, and I ALWAYS leave feeling better than when I arrived. They are friendly, kind and so knowledgeable about the inventory. They seem to know exactly where every product in the store is located, and they all seem to possess this innate patience. It's so worth it to check out everything from the produce to the non perishables to the dairy to the bread. Give your self some time to peruse the store. I've found some amazing buys here at such great prices, and I'm always looking forward to my next visit. read more

The produce that looked good in the store was bad the next day. We're unlikely to buy produce from any location in this chain.

Holy moly this Trader Joe's ROCKS!!!!! I love the staff there, seriously, they're always so amazing and nice! I love all the vegan options TJs has to offer plus their produce, fruits/veggies are always in good shape and well priced. Their new Vegab Tika Masala is oh so good!!!! And the vegan kale pesto and new vegan dips are totally worth trying out!!! Lots of parking, pretty conveniently located off Veterans. Wish there was on in NOLA but I don't mind traveling the 15-20min to Metairie for it! Thanks TJs!! read more

The staff at Trader Joe's are the friendliest group of people you will ever interact with in the service industry. The customer service golden standard is now Trader Joe's employees and not Chick-fil-a. I couldn't find the celery and an employee stopped me and ask if he could help me find something. He pointed me right to it. While I was searching for plant-based butter, the employee restocking the shelves gave me a warm smile and ask, "How are you doing today?" I received a warm smile from every employee I made eye contact with. Bottom line: super, super friendly people! Also, Trader Joe's has better prices and quality of food. For example, the bell peppers cost on average $.30 less here than they do at Winn Dixie. Purchasing fresh produce can quickly add up, so it's a great thing that the dollar goes further here. Also, they carry jackfruit, and most other grocery stores do not. Top three things I love about Trader Joe's: 1. They only use paper bags and encourage shoppers to use reusable bags. 2. They have the interesting looking and often tasting snacks that you didn't know you were looking for (and it's usually a plant-based snack). 3. FRIENDLIEST STAFF EVER. Once, an employee helped me choose the best red wine for mulled wine read more

Living in Southern California had a lot of benefits, and Trader Joe's was one of them. Trader Joe's was one of my favorite places to "make groceries", and I was a loyal shopper for 7 years. (If you are not from New Orleans, don't try to figure out how to "make" groceries"). But I digress. When we moved back to New Orleans, there wasn't a Trader Joe's to be found. And even when they opened a store in Baton Rouge, LA a year or so ago, it was over 75 miles to get there and wasn't convenient enough to shop there regularly. Fast forward 7 years to 9/23/2016, and Trader Joe's opened up store # 755 in the heart of Metairie (in the NOLA metro area). We arrived on day 2 at 4 PM and the parking lot was almost filled to capacity. When we got inside, the store was even more crowded, but nothing was going to break more spirits or knock me down off this Trader Joe's high. I bought some beautiful rib eye steaks and all my old favorites. They brought in personnel from around the nation to assist them on opening day/week, and it's a good thing they did, as there were people everywhere. However, the employees were stocking the shelves as fast as the customers were buying them. Even though the checkout line wrapped around the entire store, there was a sign holder indicating the front of the line, the back of the line and a greeter guide you to the next open cashier. The line only took 10-12 minutes from back to front. For those of you who have never been to a Trader Joe's, I liken it to a smaller, friendlier Whole Foods. Trader Joe's are not huge stores and average between 10,000 -12,000 square feet. Whereas most supermarkets carry around 50,000 items, Trader Joe's carries about 4,000 items; and about 80% of everything they sell bears their own brand name. But don't let this comparatively small number number fool you, as they have just about everything you could ever want or need. If you are in to making healthier choices, "Trader Joe's has said its private-label products contain no artificial flavors, no artificial preservatives, no colors derived from anything other than naturally available products, no genetically modified ingredients, no partially hydrogenated oils (adding trans-fat), or MSG. In addition, its private-label dairy products use milk from cows not given the artificial growth hormone rBST." The people here are friendly, the prices are good, the choices are numerous (& healthy) and the parking is ample. If you've never been to Trader Joe's, try them out, as you are likely to become a customer for life. read more
