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

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

Woo hoo a new Trader Joe's location!! This location is definitely bigger with everything more spaced apart. I wouldn't say they have any additional items than any other TJ location. Underground parking is nice. Just drive slow when you're coming towards TJ or else it's really easy to miss. They have flower vase cases you can put on your shopping carts which is super cute. They also have a iPad where you can search for items (near the last cash register). 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

FOOD: 4 SERVICE: 4 AMBIANCE: n/a VALUE: 4 The Milpitas/North San Jose area has been waiting for a Trader Joe's for many years. Finally it opened this past Friday. However if you type in the address on any GPS driving app, it will lead you straight to the Great Mall. The actual location is across the street in the Turing apartment complex. There is parking in front, but, if you miss the parking entrance, then go around the building and they have underground parking too. Otherwise a pretty standard TJ's. Just new and clean. Their staff is always helpful and the selection there can't be beat. In fact the shelves were fully stock on opening weekend. read more

I came here today, Saturday morning at 8:00 AM after the opening. The red sign and parking lot is hard to see when driving on Great Mall Parkway. It blends into Turing The Fields condos for lease sign. Front door sign was a bit hidden. Yes, small parking lot outside. People who live in the complex area will love this place. Note, there's 1-Hour off street parking available on McCandless Drive. It's actually better there if you don't mind waiting for 1-2 minutes at the street lights to cross the street and walk. Fresh and clean, social distancing protocols. Person was cleaning the carts and greeted customers. Still, this will become a popular hot spot. Very organized and space inside actually feels like less than half the space in a Grocery Outlet store. Great variety selections of products. No long lines so far. I have a feeling that this place will be overly crowded once they are known as the only Trader Joe's around here. I hope it stays like this for awhile. I think if they had a larger and more visible parking lot, then more people would come. I am grateful that they gave me some free grocery items at the checkout (free popcorn, canned olives, snack bar, and an organic can of bloody orange-orange juice). It was unexpected. Great way to show love to the community. Overall, I wish them success since they just opened yesterday. Wednesday and Sunday first hours are for seniors & folks with disabilities! 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

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

Oh tj how I love to shop... A few things that I love about tj is their floral section yes I said floral. This is my go to place to buy flowers if I go pay a visit to my mom & dad. in my opinion they have a great selection that I can always find something that I like. Price point you will not break the bank. As for the rest of the store they have a abundance of organic products for you to select from. Another plus for me is the parking I could always be able to find a place to park close to the entrance ! yay. Check out is a breeze since the have enough cashier to help you out. With that said I think Tj is great. read more

Everyone loves TJs but this location is a fave of mine. The variety of groceries are always stocked, the store is definitely spacious, and it's less crowded compared to other TJs. It's a ground level apartment store so it's pretty tucked off, but the parking garage offers plenty of spaces for shoppers. If you're shopping at the great mall, across the street is this TJs location so definitely stop by! read more

Trader Joe's - Spacious, clean, and not super crowded. - Grocery Near Me - Milpitas, California

Your friendly neighborhood Trader Joe's just made Milpitas a lil bit better. The employees here provide great service and are helpful each time I come in here to make my grocery errands. If you're a sucker for plants, they usually have a good array of potted plants ranging from succulents, monstera and fresh cut seasonal floral like peonies. They usually display their specialty/new products at the end stands and the area by the ETOH/ bathroom entrance. When I'm craving for soup, salad and toast- buy their tomato soup with long crunchy breadsticks. I elevate the taste by adding sweet corn kernel, melted mozzarella cheese and top it with fresh basils. You can make your grilled cheese sandwich and dip it into the tomato soup. Depending if they have burrata cheese in stock, I get their micro greens, heirloom tomatoes, avocados and salad. Mix the batch and drizzle Rachel Ray's balsamic reduction drizzle. You're welcome! read more

Trader Joe's - a plate of food - Grocery Near Me - Milpitas, California

Great spot located right by Great Mall to get groceries. The parking lot situation is a bit difficult and tight compared to other trader joe's locations but once you get the spot, you're good. The store is not huge but they pack a lot into these stores! Really friendly employees and always a great selection of produce and food at competitive prices. I go here quite often since it is close to my girlfriend's house. They are always restocking items and ensuring that there is a product out. Unfortunately, wasn't able to get the hash browns though cause it looked like they ran out. Some of my favorite items include the hash browns, the Thai fried rice, and the orange chicken from the frozen food section! read more

New favorite Trader Joe's location. For years I was going to my local one in Fremont. I had seen this location a few times and was skeptical about it due to its location and appearance of lack of parking. I was wrong! There is plenty of designated parking in the garage with a clearly marked Trader Joe's sign for the entrance to the right. This location is big, well spaced, and very clean! read more

5 stars for their upbeat service but 3 stars for their items in stock averages out to 4 star. I've found the best time for me to shop is around 8:30 at night. I can exit the car and return back usually without 10 minutes as I come with my go to's in mind and a shopping list of my IG screenshots. Part of the reason also for the quick turnaround is that often the newest items that I want are all sold out. I have been able to nab only half of the new products that I come in wanting. Their store feels more spacious than the Coleman one so I appreciate not having to bump into people through the aisles but for some reason just feel their product placement is not always eye appealing to make me want to grab more. This most recent trip I was on the hunt for the fried mozzarella sticks for those late night easy to pop into the air fryer munchies. I couldn't find them the last time I was there but was in a rush that day after asking employees about some other new products so went home snack less. This time I was bummed because the employee told me there were no more of the custard tarts for the season at their store and was determined to get my backup snack. She looked it up in the computer and then went to the same spot that I looked and they were not to be found. She said perhaps they sold out. Dejected I thanked her and headed to the register. While I was chatting with the cashier about my TJ bag (it's one of the oldies from like 10 years back) the same employee came up to us and had a bag of frozen goodness for me! She said they apparently moved them to be with the pastas which sparked a convo with the bagger who recommended their fried ravioli since I like their mozzarella sticks. I really appreciated her coming back to find me. Thus 5 stars for their service. Each time I have been able to find someone to help me look up or let me know when the next restock is happening. I just hope they start carrying more of the new products or maybe I'll need to find a new better time to come in for them! read more

You know you are a Millennial when you get excited to go check out the new TJ's! The Coleman location is my go to because it is closer to my home but I was in the area and took advantage to check out this newer store. They have plenty of free parking outside the store (access going south on capitol across from the mall) and in the garage. The line had 15 parties in front of me on a Sunday around 1 pm but I only waited about 12-15 minutes to go in. They are organized and have sanitized carts at the entrance for you to grab when it is your turn to go inside the store. Cashiers disinfect after every person and they had every check stand open so that customers are in and out quickly. They currently allow you to bring your own bags. The store is fairly spacious and they had several staff stocking items throughout the store (they keep limited amount in stock). I found everything I needed and the layout was easy to follow. The only downside is that they only have 1 entrance/exit. I'm so glad TJ's finally came to Milpitas!! P.S. Senior hours are Wed & Sun from 8-9 am. read more

I don't frequent Trader Joe's but when I do it's for BANANA CHIPS! Milpitas TJ is smaller compared to other locations but they have all the essential knick knacks that people look for such has crunchy cookie butter, almond butter, vegan stuff, and banana chips. The interior is clean, all items stocked, and customer service is the bomb diggity. Parking is spacious! There's plenty of parking outside the apartment complex and inside their parking garage. I'm not a regular of TJ but it's nice to know that banana chips are now attainable within a reasonable distance lol. Welcome, Trader Joe's!!! read more

Trader Joe's - Signage in the garage parking lot - Grocery Near Me - Milpitas, California

I heard that a new Trader Joe's opened near me in Milpitas, so I decided to check it out. The closest TJ's in Fremont and San Jose are further away and pretty crowded when I've attempted to go. This store is only 3 months old and located on the bottom level of the Turin Apartment complex. I found parking inside the garage with no problem. Shopping carts are available and an attendant is outside wiping the carts down to keep them clean. Other Yelpers have stated the garage is a bit tough to park larger vehicles, but I had no problem parking my SUV, but the stalls definitely are better suited for a smaller vehicle. This store is a bit on the small side, but it seems to have whatever I was looking for. I was happy to find multiple items that Safeway doesn't carry. My son in Hawaii told me about a Maple Leaf Cookie that he really enjoyed when he was visiting last year, so I was on the hunt for it. Lo and behold this TJ's had it, so I bought 2 boxes. In addition, I also found some other goodies that caught my eye. One was a Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread, a Mini Dark Chocolate Mint Star cookie, a Chocolate Brooklyn Babka, Blueberry Scones and Organic Garlic Naan crackers. The Maple Leaf cookies had the right amount of maple flavor, the Cinnamon Pull Apart bread was awesome, the Chocolate Chip Babka is loaded with chocolate chips too. I have been to this TJ's a couple of times already and it might become a habit. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I also bought some delish produce and like that they have lunch sized containers of salad, sammies, etc. read more

Finally a TJs close by! I love how friendly everyone is and how they're one of the only stores that actually limit how many people are in the store, which I really appreciate. I usually go on the weekends before 9:30am and rarely have to wait in line. The store is usually pretty stocked although I feel like this TJ is smaller than other ones I've been to. They still have all I need though. I come here pretty much every week and it's my go to place for groceries. I love their seasonal items. My fav so far is the truffle hot sauce and heart shaped macaroons. Yum!! read more

This location in Milpitas is fairly new so you would expect the EMPLOYEE'S to be more courteous, respectful, and just a lot nicer but instead I interacted with four different employees who we're just rude beyond all means, I understand it was early in the morning but if your not a morning person you should not be part of the opening shift in the morning. I do believe one individual that I interacted with was a manager. I like shopping here but I wouldn't recommend shopping here in the morning. Unless you want to deal with people with attitude!!!! read more

Yes! They finally open a Trader Joe's in Milpitas! When going there I was a little lost because of the GPS. For some reason the directions took me to Great Mall. When making a U turn on the Great Mall parkway, I noticed the Trader Joe's sign. The store is built under the luxury apartments so you can both both ways - either inside the garage or at the front off Great Mall parkway. I like the inside of the store, very spacious and organize. They might not carry all the items you can find at other Trader Joe's. read more

So grateful for Zaydees customer service. She's so kind and bright beam of sunshine. We come as often as possible from SanJose area the store is smaller than others however they are well stocked with most items we need. From the French Ham and Guyere flat bread , maple leaf cookies, chocolate chip dunkers, frozen meals amazing Brooklyn chocolate loaf, bbq chicken pizza, petite assorted carrots, in expensive flowers, parking is convenient. Give them an opportunity to serve you .... read more

Finally there's a TJ closed to home could never passed up a grand opening day which was last month. I'm early shopper so I liked to avoid large crowd and able to find a parking space up front and kudos to the employees for following all the protocols facial masks, wiping off each cart as you walk in and social distance is in place. Interior not as large as the one on Coleman though that store is always pack and parking can be a real challenge. Speaking of parking which is in an underground apartment complex it maybe hard for those to park their SUV, trucks and vans in a tight parking space . Staff always so pleasant and very helpful. TJ has a lot of ethnic food which is one reason I chose for its fresh produce, vegetables and frozen goods loved their gluten free pizza, falafels, dumplings and oatmeal cookies. Would definitely be back. read more

First time in a Trader Joe's was told it's a little smaller then most but I was impressed by the selection and prices. They have parking outside and inside a parking garage. The place very clean and customer service I received was above and beyond. I just got out of the hospital for my knees I have two braces and a cane. A young lady opened the line for me and just for me cause I think she knew I was struggling to walk and somewhat disabled. Just very appreciative of her going above and beyond. I will now come to this Trader Joe's: read more

An avid Trader Joe's shopper's dream. Organized, clean, and spacious so there isn't much of cart traffic than your regular store. A lot of parking in the garage and there are enough signs outside to lead you to it. I've had produce that lasted me for weeks. And just like any other Trader Joe's, the workers are friendly. Can't look at any other of their stores the same, I seem to find myself always driving an extra 10 minutes to go to this one. read more

I love me a good Trader Joe's! Really come for the TJ branded organic veggies, sauces, meats, frozen goods, really almost anything. Winner winner - This one is soooo much closer to home. This one is located in the Turning Apartment community across the street from the Great Mall of Milpitas - pretty close to HWY 880. They have designated parking spaces in the retail side of the parking garage. It looks like the have some outdoor parking spaces as well. Employees all wear masks. There is an employee in front sanitizing all customers with hand sanitizers and greeting you as you walk in. The employees are always friendly. Stores are usually pretty clean and well stocked and prices are fairly reasonable. Flowers are always right when you walk in and thankfully I don't have allergies so welcome the smell of floral notes every time I walk in. My hubby on the other hand struggles depending on season with his severe spring allergies. This location looks very spacious when you walk in but I realize there isn't a ton of space in the freezer section specifically. Veggies almost always are fresh! My gotta grabs are the TJ triple washed Bag of wild Arugula (good with almost anything to me especially pizza) , TJ Persian cucumbers (light and crunchy), TJ truffle chicken pate (great with crackers/sandwiches), and their options of TJ marinades! It really doesn't stop there - our lil family loves the frozen TJ thai shrimp or veggie gyozas and this spot had zero avail of the shrimp one. They were also out of the frozen clams linguine. So either the stocking team is behind in restocks as there just isn't enough space to put many out at a time or these are just all flying out the door...it could very well be both but from a space view, it looked limited. My son loves TJ chicken tikka too! These are all great backup quick tasting options when you are ever "stuck" and needing a quick bite. They were out of stock on a few other items that I was looking for so knocking a star for that but otherwise am sure this will be a new weekly spot for me to replenish the kitchen & pantry for our daily-weekly meals! read more

IMHO - Covid Edition This is the newest Trader Joe's in our area, just across the street from the Great Mall. It is located in the new Touring development. This is great for the residents who live there, but the parking situation for customers is not optimal. There is a small outdoor parking lot that services maybe 50 cars, or you can park in their garage. Tight corners and small turn-around space is an issue here. This will not be my go-to Trader Joe's for this reason. However, this Trader Joe's is bright, clean and spacious. Employees were friendly and helpful. After checking my receipt, I noticed an overcharge on an item. The cashier ran to check the price and came back with a manager, who quickly processed my $1 overcharge. Note to self: always know your prices and check your receipts! read more

It's finally here in Milpitas !!! Yes finally. Now I don't have to drive to Fremont Mowry location !! Pros : love the island music. Cons: the parking lot space is very small !

The nicest and newest Traders Joe i have seen in a long time! Very happy to see finally one TJ close to where I live. This is a total plus. The prices are so affordable and you can find all those European goodies that we all love (like chocolates galore) and all the flowers or this world cheaper than anywhere else (phenomenal arrangements). Staff is very cheerful and cool as you can expect from any employee in this chain. I love the experience of shopping there and now in my top 5 places to shop food items. read more

I am so happy they opened this location since it is closer to me now! It is located across from the Great Mall and is on the ground level of an apartment complex. There is plenty of parking reversed for TJ shoppers outside and underground garage! Even during Covid, the few times I have gone which were weekdays in the evening, I either didn't have to wait at all or there was a few people ahead of me. But when I tried to go on Saturday, the line was super long. So if you don't want to wait in line, go during the week! read more

As we all know, Trader Joe's has a really great customer service I don't get to go there often because I'm blind and an employee there by the name of Joshua remember me from my previous visit and helped me out with giving a vegan ground beef substitute that he recommended, and by the way, it was very delicious! Shout out to Joshua for being amazing! read more

I happened to be over here for the first time after a trip to the Great Mall on Saturday. I remember seeing it open sometime last year but Sunnyvale or the Coleman location are the typical go to spots if I need to hit a TJ. This place always concerned me in the past due to parking, however this was not an issue as we found a dedicated parking structure located in the back of the building/apartments. The store seemed to have ok stock of items but appears smaller than the other stores I've been to. In a pinch though, or for convenience to the apartments above, this would be an amazing store.... Just not one I really see myself ever visiting again unless I'm in the area and really want to go to TJ. read more

I am SOOO happy a closer Trader Joe's in Milpitas finally opened! The Coleman location was just too far and always packed, especially with being in the same plaza as CalTrain and other nearby restaurants. This store is located next to the brand-new Turing apartments; at first, I was a little confused where to park - I ended up parking in the apartment's visitor parking, since there weren't any clear signs around the building. I'm really glad that I stopped by on a random Monday morning, since it was super empty and clean at the time; this location is pretty tiny compared to the other ones, so I can see crowdedness as being a possible issue during busy weekends. The selection is good - the usual fresh produce, the TJ-specific foods, the baked goods, etc. When I went, there was A LOT of pumpkin-themed items, probably since we're approaching holiday season soon. Honestly, super excited to add TJ's to the mix of grocery stores in the area and hope to come back for more groceries next time! read more

This is the best thing that has came to Milpitas. I love how they made a location closer to me. This location can get busy during the weekend with the lines since if Covid but it goes by fast. During the week you can just walk on it. I'm glad not a lot of people seem to know of this location since when I go it isn't busy or crowded at all. It is located across from great mall. They have lots of parking outside as well as an underground garage. Customer service is also very nice here but it's weird how if you bring your own bag in now you have to bag it yourself outside but I guess with covid, got to be safe ! read more

Definitely go during weekdays. Went there today at around 12 pm, no queue during the entrance and during check-out. I always see a long queue during the weekend! If you just want to do a quick in and out that is less than 20 minutes, there is a side parking at McCandless Drive which has plenty of space when I went there during weekdays lunch hour. Usually, I will go to Traders Joe when I wanted to look for a different choice of snacks that you cannot find in ordinary supermarkets like Target, Walmart and etc. I especially like their scallion pancake! They have much selection of Chinese (e.g. Broccoli Beef), Indian (e.g. Roti paratha), Mexican (e.g.Burrito), American (e.g.Pizza) and, a variety of frozen food. They sell basically from fresh vegetable, fruits, plant, herbs, meat, dairy, frozen food, coffee, ice cream, dessert, bread and, wine and etc. 90% of the food I tried are nice and feel healthy and hardly you can find the same taste at other supermarket. read more
