tj's is great! the area has a decent amount of parking and lots of other establishments near by. i do think some ppl need to learn how to park better but thats def not tj's fault. it does get busy often and so sometimes its a bit narrow to pass by people due to the smaller size of the store. the store is well organized and super clean. i always find new products and items that i'm looking for. sometimes might be hard to get cell service due to it being adjacent to the parking garage. staff members are always nice and talking to you when you're checking out at the register! i've learned some great tips from them with groceries i have purchased here and there. it's nice that tj's has lots of staff on duty at all times. but read more

I'm grateful that our great city of Milpitas has a Trader Joe's within walking distance of my home. It's convenient, well stocked and offers a wide variety of unique and delicious items you don't always find at big grocery chains. It genuinely feels more local in both quality and selection. What really sets this location apart though is the customer service. I've come in on days when work or life has been stressful, and the simple check-ins from the cashiers like "How's it going?" or "Hang in there" honestly go a long way. I'm not there to unload my feelings lol but that small moment of acknowledgment and warmth makes a difference. They do all this while keeping long lines moving smoothly. Thank you to the TJ's team for consistently creating a positive, welcoming shopping experience. read more

And yet another update. Though last year, I did go here at a random time and unfortunately caught COVID here :( But what I like about this place is that it's nice and spacious. They do get a lot of the new items which is lovely. Folks here are always lovely and friendly. The only thing that is horrible is the parking. The parking in the garage is so tight like they decided we're going to squeeze as many spaces that barely have space between cars. I end up parking outside sometimes just for a slightly better space though it's again getting harder and harder to find parking here as more new restaurants are springing up on the first floor nearby. Still will come here on occasions depending on what errands we need to do and it's also on my way home for work if I need to pick up anything. read more

Parking here sucks. There's a couple 20 minute spots here and there and the lot is quite small. You'd have to park in the garage. The store itself has a much different layout than others, aisles feel longer making stuff more spread out. Since it's close to the mall some of the goods were out of stock. Shopping here is okay, not my favorite location but I also don't live locally and only popped in when I was in the area. read more

So many fun choices! Love when I come here. The bagged Caesar salad doesn't have anchovies, they have 2 so be careful. It's literally the best. Got pretty much everything I came for except frozen fettuccine. Sad. I did find my wine that I normally get at Whole Foods for $25. It was $9 here!!! So I stocked up. Love the lip masks too and they had a new flavor. The store was so clean and well stocked. Parking in the garage wasn't bad. Karen the cashier was very friendly. TJ's workers are always in such a good mood. read more

Convenient location as I live nearby and can walk to the store. Love the exotic fresh fruits here. Bought some passion fruits and they were amaizng! Produce is nicely arranged and dog treats are always in bulk. They have peonies for $9.99 and that's a dream price. They smell wonderful! Plenty of fresh potted herbs available so will be bringing those home. I have always been treated well here so no complaints. Happy! read more

Trader Joe's - Beautiful peonies and passion fruits from TJ's! - Grocery Near Me - Milpitas, California

Went grocery shopping on a Tuesday evening, parking was plentiful in the lot, no crowds and no waiting in the store, and service was fast and friendly at the register. The place was bright, clean, and spacious, with items well stocked, and everything we purchased was fresh, with fair pricing. Got a bunch of fresh fruit, tangerine juice, dairy products, pimento cheese dip, plantain chips, and other snacks. And of course gotta love the unique variety of cookies sold here, got one of my faves, Lacey's dark chocolate almond cookies, so yummy and addicting. read more

Short Story: A small TJ's tucked right near bart and Great Mall! Long Story: I've been coming to this Trader Joe's for a 3 years now and it's always been a good experience. It's a bit smaller than the one in Fremont but it still carries all the essentials. The parking lot is also smaller than Fremont so you may not always find parking. The staff as usual is always warm and friendly. There are also some other shopping places in the same strip mall such as Starbucks and pizza. Verdict: I'm going back! read more

Great service as always. The parking in this lot can be tricky as it's narrow with parking on either side. If you continue around the bend its a bigger underground lot. I love to check out the plant section and they had some cool succulents as well as your large array of flowers. Food selection was well stocked and i had such great luck here. today as I picked up a Raspberry Kringle in the bakery section. All in all another great experience at this TJ's. read more

I attempted to purchase a tote bag in TJ's Greatmall today and the bag was hidden and are no longer displayed on but are instead available at the customer service area. The customer service guy whom o spoke to at 8:42am mentioned that there is a limit of one bag per customer. I would like to inquire about the possibility of purchasing 2 bags, given my loyalty as a customer. It was frustrating to make a special trip early from work only to be limited to buying one bag. TJ's is my fave store. look how fan I am, I would say a negative star to that TJ's Greatmall branch. read more

Trader Joe's is the best location lol. The guy here hooked my husband up with one of the limited small mini totes! So kind and so nice. I love their variety of different foods and cool limited seasonal stuff! Parking can be crowded since there's Starbucks and a Whole Foods. Plus an apartment complex. read more

I feel like this location is a bit smaller than others I've been to; sometimes the fruit selection feels more limited. But I can always find my basics. The checkout people are super friendly and it feels pretty clean. The parking situation sucks at peak times, though. read more

Pretty much your straightforward, typical Trader Joe's -- friendly staff, good selection, and all the usual favorites. The only downside is that this location feels a bit smaller than others, and parking can be tricky unless you use the garage. Still, it's convenient and well-stocked, just not quite as spacious or easy to access as some other Trader Joe's locations -- that's the only reason for the four stars instead of five. read more

I love TJ. Good product and other snacks. This time I was there to pick up flowers for a friend I was visiting. Great choices and super friendly service and was on my way in a jiffy. read more

So happy there is a Trader Joe's in Milpitas. They have it in the right location, which is at the higher end apartments on Great Mall Pkwy. Those newer apartment complexes are where the younger software engineers live; the demographics in Milpitas more likely to shop at a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. They have some unique finds that you don't typically see at a Safeway or Albertson's. There are lots of food that cater to the younger apartment living crowd; easy to heat up and quick to prepare frozen food. Some are quite tasty. They have unique brands of snacks. I enjoy their kettle style ghost pepper potato chips, pasta sauce, among other great finds. Sometime they have unique fruit. Once I came across their gumdrop grapes. Spectacular and sold out so quickly! Garage parking as well as small parking lot. I wish this Trader Joe's was bigger and had more merchandise. read more

First time trying this Trader Joe's and will be back. One thing is it is in a complex with underground parking but at least today no issues. Extremely friendly staff that seem to really enjoy working here. Little smaller than others , but had all we needed. Clean inside and out and overall atmosphere was good. Can get a little crowded inside as it is a smaller location but glad we tried it. For sure recommend read more

One of the cashier with red hair, she flipped my shopping basket up side down and spread my coffee all over products. She never apologized even start judging me. She was very angry and bad attitude. I so sad that Trader's Joe usually has best customer service.... Never go this store again. read more

Trader Joe's - Rude cashier with red hair. She ruined my coffee and foods... never said sorry. - Grocery Near Me - Milpitas, California

First time visiting this TJs sorry, but not a fun experience. Parking is a nightmarein that garage, i know it s mostly because people do not know how to drive!!! Then i get inside and grab a few things. Head to check out, and some how i get a clerk who s obviously having a bad day. But come on at least greet the customer (me) instead of conversing with co worker at next checkout. Guess i will stick to my friendly staff at Sprouts:-) read more

I love me some Trader Joe's and the countless products that I absolutely adore... This particular TJ is fairly new but is smaller in size when compared to other locations. It is always tidy, fairly busy, and I am always finding products that spark my curiosity. Staff is friendly and they seem to enjoy their jobs. Extra points specifically for that because coming across genuinely happy employees is damn near unheard of nowadays. Lmao. 4 stars overall. Groceries aren't gonna break the bank hence the overall openness of trying new products because of its affordability. Shelves are unfortunately empty in multiple areas and this is always the case whenever I come for visits. With the size of the grocery store already being limited to begin with, empty shelves and lacking products really stand out here. read more

Okay hear me out. Yes parking is a nightmare, but if you bypass the larger lot on the left, the smaller lot on the right almost always has a spot open. This location is always clean and well-stocked. They offer samples frequently too! The staff are all super nice, welcoming, and friendly. read more

I am glad Trader Joe's opened up here at the Great Mall. It's closer now to me than the other stores. This location is smaller than the others, but they carry most of the essentials. Parking is trickier here, but they also have a parking garage and spots outside. Service is friendly like all their other stores! read more

When I am trying to grocery shop for 1-2 people, Trader Joes is my spot. There is a variety of produce, meats, dairies you name it. I esp love coming here for their charcuterie options, and their frozen foods. I also love their tote bags, its super cute. This TJ location isn't my favorite because their parking is in a garage, which makes parking harder. This location is also located across great mall so many popular items run out real fast. read more

Love how well stocked this location is! There were so many chocolate gift boxes out for this holiday season too. The staff are super friendly and Santana was awesome at the register. Parking can be a bit chaotic during peak hours, so I'd recommend coming here as early as possible. read more

I always catch myself at this location despite the small parking lot. Its location is prime for the surrounding apartments. The space is well organized and always super easy to find what you're looking for. The workers are super laid back, chill and helpful. The cashier with red hair had rang me up one morning and she was very knowledgeable about the products I bought when I had a few questions. Despite the small parking lot, I wouldn't hesitate to come through and shop this location. read more

We stopped here to get snackies the night before our international flight b/c it kinda hurts my heart to pay airport prices for snacks when you can come here! I didn't realize they have a parking garage so don't be deterred if you don't find parking up front. Not sure though if you pay in the garage. Shop was clean but a bit compact I feel than most TJ stores. We stocked up on a variety of chips, peanuts (sweet and savor), nuts, sandwiches, and salads, and a wine bottle opener! We packed bottles of wine for our trip, and forgot to pack a wine bottle opener. You cannot always rely on hotels to have the things you need. and it was only $2! I was so so happy to see they have chocolate croissants, something I have never seen before at any TJs. I'm sure warmed up they'd taste even better. They double bagged our goodies and it made for the perfect carry-on :) That and my backpack, we set. read more

I like coming here because the store is big and islands are wider than others. Parking lot available as well as parking garage. Very convenient, right across from great mall. However, their hot popular items seem to run out very fast! If you see it, grab it before it's too late! read more

This is just my opinion,but I feel like this is a smaller version of a Trader Joe's. It has a nice selection,but seems to be missing some common items. The service is still up to the company standards we come to expect. I think it's a great addition to the ever growing neighborhood read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Milpitas, California

Trader Joe's has always been an interesting grocery store. It's not the largest, and it's not overly expensive, but it does have a lot of personality. Their products are usually pretty good. They sell most of their own products, so you won't see a lot of the name brand products, but that's ok, because you really do get some quality product. Staff are always great. Parking here is a bit annoying, but it is what it is. Overall, I like the spot. read more

After asking for TJs in Milpitas for 20 years! Finally, very convenient location, helpful staff, good organic products & great new manager! My concerns are with cleanliness of the dairy area especially along with a string of recalls. Overall, the experience is positive as the groceries are well packed & management ensures customer satisfaction with products. read more

I frequent this TJ location weekly. I was told they hire people for being nice and friendly, but if that's truly the case - they should fire Toan, who is rude and unpleasant. read more

This Trader Joe's is quite nice. A pretty substantial amount of convenient (free) parking, friendly staff, and a solid selection.

had an extremely disappointing experience at this Trader Joe's due to a crew member named Jason. He was disrespectful and unprofessional during my visit, speaking to me in a condescending manner and showing a complete lack of customer service skills. Instead of being helpful, he was dismissive and rude, making the experience uncomfortable and unpleasant. I've always enjoyed shopping at Trader Joe's because of the friendly staff, but Jason's behavior was unacceptable. Management should address this issue to ensure that all customers are treated with the respect they deserve. read more

There's parking in the front and a parking garage as well. I thought this Trader Joe's would be big based on a lot the reviews mentioning it but it is a smaller store compared to other locations. It most likely will still have what you're looking for but options are limited. I went in on a weekday afternoon and it was less crowded. read more

Great service and nice people. Store is in condo with lots of parking. Very clean and staff is very helpful. read more

I'm an avid Trader Joe's fan, and this one is by far my favorite location that I've been to! It's not overly crowded, there's ton of parking available in the parking garage, things are always stocked up (at least when I go on week nights), and the staff is super friendly!! I always come out of this Trader Joe's super happy and excited because I have lots of food items to try. read more

I love this Trader Joe's location! I've been to many, but the people that work here are always so kind and upbeat. It makes the shopping experience even more enjoyable. Warning, it gets insanely busy here on the weekends especially in the afternoon. I find it's best to shop here on a weekday night. read more

This is a nice Trader Joe's. Staff here is always friendly and the store doesn't get too crowded. The inventory is always full and I can always find what I am looking for when shopping here. I also like the flower and plant selection that they have at the entrance. read more

Trader Joe's - Plants - Grocery Near Me - Milpitas, California

This location is new and seems like it's still in the works. I am glad as it's the closest store to me now, whereas before I had to drive to the Coleman or Los Gatos stores. I've been lucky that there was no line the few times I've come in to shop during the weekdays. It's clean... super clean at that. It's a smaller store, but it's got everything you need. Parking can be a challenge if you're not lucky finding something right away. However, it's a cute location across from the Great Mall, which is super convenient. Staff is pleasant and helpful. You can always find your go to's in the frozen section and in the aisles that you can't find anywhere else. As well as wines to try. But that's why you shop by there in the first place. For those unique finds of ethnic, gluten free, foodie type finds! read more
