Personally I have always liked Trader Joe's for their food selection specially their gluten free options however its not limited to that, they have really good, really affordable options for everyone. They also have a nice selection of floral options. Its always nice inside from what I've always experienced people are helpful and friendly and I've never had to wait in line for an extended period of time, everything is pretty easy to find and the store is always clean and open and bright. I always enjoy my trips to Trader Joe's, they also make it easy if my item is out of stock to make sure I have a way to get it in the future. I was told to call ahead and they will reserve the item for me for the day I plan to come by (since I live out of town) and to make sure the item is in stock. read more

A lovely grocery store! Trader Joes offers a wide variety of produce, meats, dairy, premade and frozen meals, snacks, and drinks. The have a nice cheese selection which make for great charcuterie boards. All their Trader Joe's branded items are great, but their produce is often lacking. I was looking for some eggplants but they were super soft and already too wrinkled to buy. I also tried to buy some heirloom tomatoes but their Best Buy date was nearly a week before the date I came shopping and were all squishy. This location is horrifically crowded. No matter the time of day, it is super busy and you can barely walk down the aisles. Everyone is bumping into each other and walking the wrong direction, making the shopping experience really miserable. I would love to walk around the store and take time to browse but I cannot bear to stay in there longer than a few minutes because I don't want to get bumped into. The parking experience is similar. There is never any parking and you'll need to circle the lot for probably 10 minutes before you find a space. Regardless, the store is pretty organized and the shelves are well-stocked. I've had mixed experiences with the staff. The majority of the time, the crew members really encapsulate the friendly and kind-hearted nature that Trader Joe's employees are known for. However, my most recent visit was unfortunately different. When asking for my ID for an alcohol purchase, I wasn't even asked. The cashier, without even looking up from bagging very curtly said, "give me your ID." Her demeanor was not welcoming and rubbed me the wrong way a bit. I would recommend those to come here only if they need something in particular and if you have the whole day to spend looking for parking and crawling around the store. read more

I have been going now for about 25 years and the store only gets better. Art is an incredible manager and knows how to run a terrific store! The prices and food selection are great! The store has great ambiance and is always very clean! We like to shop organic and what a great selection! If you like flowers, they probably have a greater selection and sell more than any flower shop in the valley! Great people, great prices and a great selection to choose from! read more

Absolutely fantastic service every time I come here. The prices are great, selection is amazing, and they have by far the best produce. The music is also usually cheesy 80s which is absolutely a vibe. I was helped out by Chris who went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I was looking for. Trader Joe's needs more people like Chris! read more

Just went today with my wife to get there mini tote bag. Line was so long. When we were about our turn to enter, this guy who man the line suddenly told me infront of my wife and people behind us said , " You been here three times already and this will be your last day". I told him, yes but all those times I merely asked when will the bags arrived. He didn't see me getting or carrying all those tote bag. I was embarrassed when he said those words not only infront of my wife but all those people behind us who heard him. It seems he discriminate me. I'm sure some of those people behind us came many times for the bag. But why he single me out especially infront of those people. I asked the guy at the register who is that person manned the line and he said it's their boss. I am very unhappy customer read more

This place is clean and organized. Love to shop here again. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Food here is great.

I went there to get some flowers. They had a very nice selection of flowers with a variety of pricing.

Great always - friendly and helpful staff. Always clean and stocked. Staff are always available to answer questions

Trader Joes does a great job of hiring nice people & having great food at reasonable prices, making the shopping experience much nicer. Unfortunately, they lost a star since Safeway bought them but still great. read more

I love Trader Joe's! They offer a lot of gluten-free items that I drive across town for. They're fast, efficient, and clean, with fresh produce, and meats and cheeses. And best of all, the prices are reasonable! Cashiers are always ready with a friendly smile. One of my most favorite things is being able to buy unique styles of flowers in small amounts to make my own bouquets. Some of the aisles can get a little bit tight to navigate but most of the time are okay. The only thing I hate is the parking lot. Since this is the only one in the area, it tends to get busy, but parking is always difficult. I wish they would open up another one in town! read more

Elvia is rude . waiting in line and she told me to move i told her im waiting for my kids and she rolled her eyes and told me to move. Rude and she has a rude look on her face read more

My favorite store. There's always so many people working that is helpful and super friendly. Also love all the healthy options.

The store feels like the employees are at a private party that customers are not invited to. Overheard many private conversations between employees. Never heard any of them ask any customer if they needed help. The end of my poor shopping experience was my cashier having to give his coworker a thumb down before processing my transaction. He must have read my mind! I was a thumb down for me at this Trader Joe's. read more

This is my go to spot and very happy that Trader Joe's is now closer to me. I get my bundle of eucalyptus here to hang inside my shower. I go in the am to avoid crowds as it can be very busy and packed. I love their very budget friendly food staples in there. They actually have good selections depending on your food preferences. Ube mochi pancake and waffle can get scarce here or sometimes non-existent so I get 2 or more boxes whenever they stock it up and the same goes to my ube ice cream, YUM! They also have such good variety and selections of fresh cheese, spreads and dips. If one loves to sample which wines excites their palette, this place have great selections and the Charles Shaw $2 (Two buck chuck) wines are great to start with. One needs to just peruse this place to see what they have to offer as their selections sometimes varies by season or specials or new arrivals. Friendly people and great service is always a plus here. There's always someone available to help you out if you have any questions or in need of assistance. read more

I love Trader Joe's, it never disappoints. My favorite place to pick up some fruits and veggies! Their reusable bags are the best, definitely pick one up if you haven't. Also all the workers are super friendly! Nice environment read more

I absolutely Love Trader Joe's! This location is the closest to where I reside, a bit of distance, so I'm hoping that TJ's will come around to building another closer to my home. Cashiers are always sweet and work fast and efficient with their Tetris skills mastering getting all of my groceries into 1, or few bags depending on how much buy. read more

I was in the store yesterday and was excited to see the new fall products and was really disappointed. The visual merchandising was bland. Seeing a whole end cap with pumpkin pancake mix when walking into the store is not exciting. I want something that really gets you pumped about fall and the pumpkin products. I don't want to hunt for them in the store or be disappointed when I get home because I didn't even know that product was in the store . The new item display is nice but it didn't have most of the new pumpkin products on it. I' m not a visual merchandiser but a long time customer and I feel like I could make more eye catching displays. I remember them being better in the past. I also never knew that you are supposed to be provided with a wow experience. Many of the employees, especially when stocking shelves or doing samples, do not invite any interaction. There are some who sit on the floor stocking and give the body language of do not talk to me, I am busy. There are also some employees on checkstand, who only say hi and what your total is. I'm not asking for them to find out my life story, but would cracking a smile and making some effort to engage be that difficult. That certainly isn't a wow experience. I will continue to shop here but I feel like this store needs to step it up. read more

This is my go-to place for all things yummy! They have a fantastic selection of produce, frozen foods, snacks, alcohol -- you name it. Prices are affordable and there is always enough checkers, so you don't have too wait too long. And, the best thing of all? The people that work there! The young man who was ringing up my items took the time to find out why a couple of items that I've been looking for were not on the shelf. And while I was waiting, I heard this actual conversation: Checker: Hello! How are you today? Customer: I'm okay. Thank you for helping me today. Checker: Well, you are most welcome, you wonderful human being! The people that work here are helpful, sincerely friendly, and go above and beyond. Keep up the great work, Trader Joe's! read more

I always have a great shopping experience here. The employees are always very friendly and helpful, and the quality of the products is always excellent. I enjoy some of their pre-seasoned meat/chicken selections and a lot of their snack type foods. They also have a lot of great things in their frozen section - entrees, desserts, and snacks. The store is well-lit and always super clean. I am lucky to live super close, and will continue to be a regular customer! read more

Went to Trader Joe's this afternoon and the store manager Art Gallegos helped us with an item in the store we needed. What an awesome guy. Excellent customer service read more

Trader Joe's is consistently the best from the east coast to the west coast. I shop at on in Virginia and I was visiting family in Modesto. I had a craving for a nice homemade salad, so I knew where to go. I got a bag of salad greens, Persian cucumbers, shredded carrots, cilantro salad dressing, balsamic grilled chicken, and a bag of kale. This is the same thing I get in VA!! What blew me away is that Trader Joes California sells alcohol, like their own brand of Tequila! Like their own spirits. That sorta blew me away. In Va they sell beer and wine, but not TJ branded tequila! Service was great, helpful, and the samples were on point as well as the free coffee sample. read more

Line was so long but it moved quickly. Employees were efficient and friendly. This Trader Joe's is a bit more crowded than others.

Overall I will shop here again. read more

I love Trader Joe's. I come here almost every Sunday morning for grocery shopping. I love to get fresh fruit and vegetables. I like that a lot of the vegetables are packaged so customers haven't touched all on them. They just remodeled the place so the aisles are wider and roomier. The Applewood bacon is tasty and cheaper than what you get in the supermarket. My family enjoys the sweet snacks. I love when they restock the s'more's! Yum! read more

Always fresh fruit, reasonable prices, and a wide variety of bread, chips, etc. love their branded whiskey selection and wine.

I was going from Vallejo to Turlock to visit my uncle's family and wanted to buy some flowers and groceries . My first to go grocery store is always Trader Joe's . I stoped here . I loved it . Like any others. I found whatever I wanted. And I had to use the bathroom. all of their different mystery bags were hanging there . It was really cool . I only have 9 of them . I will buy more the next time they are available. read more

I've had a few bad experiences here due to the employees and likely, poor training and instruction. First, during the pandemic when there were elderly hours I was held up by an employee who had to check with his supervisor about letting pregnant women in with the elderly. I told the employee that I called ahead of time and was told that pregnant women fall under Immunocompromised. Employee Joe said it was okay after making me wait outside and making me feel like I'm trying to cut the line. "No, I called ahead and wanted to get food to feed myself and my unborn child." Second, I called ahead of time to see if there was a seasonal item in stock. I was told it was in and when I asked if it was on the shelf, I was told yes. It takes me 45 minutes to get to Trader Joe's, so this is why I call ahead of time. I arrive at the store, don't find it on the shelves. I ask a crew member, was told to check the pumpkin area, not there. The helpful crew member asks the front desk. They mumble something about Janine, again. They didn't have the item and said they won't get it for another couple months. Gee, that would've saved me a long drive. Third, I remember having to hunt down a crew member to ask about stock. Apparently customers needing assistance isn't too important and it's ok to clearly ignore a customer in need. I like Trader Joe's. This store isn't the best in terms of service and knowledge. Don't rely on calling to see if an item is in stock. Also, don't rely on information when calling in. Why offer call on service if it's just going to be wrong? read more

My wife lost her house keys in the parking lot. They were returned to Trader Joe's. Mario went above and beyond to get them returned to us. Thank you for taking the time to get them back to us!! read more

Is there anything that Joe can't do? He's nothing less than genius at turning mundane, everyday items into extraordinary ones. Cream cheese, for example. Plain cream cheese? Meh. Pumpkin cream cheese? Game changer. I actually reinstated bagels, those carb bombs I never allow myself to indulge in because they're carb bombs, into my morning rotation again...just so I would have a worthy canvas to enjoy this fabulous cream cheese. Of course they weren't ordinary bagels, either. They were TJ's pumpkin bagels. Natch. These pumpkin bagels are made w actual pumpkin flour, people. Fantastic tomato feta soup. Truffle flatbread. Southwest salad. Sesame cashews. Love, love, love. And don't forget the cookie butter. On top of it all, you'll save at least 30% shopping here over a supermarket. There are some items you'll inevitably still need a Safeway for; the key is to incorporate both for what each does best. San Francisco TJ's are always packed. Sometimes there's parking staff just to control the parking lot. So this Modesto location is a total breath of fresh air. If healthier alternatives can actually taste good, then I'm in. Joe specializes in producing healthier options of conventional fare, adding gourmet twists to them, & the result is pure deliciousness. A special specialty store. 5 stars. read more

Riley was very helpful and courteous! Happy to have people like her working in our local store

It's great that there is a Trader Joe's in Modesto! The store is clean with friendly staff who help you find things. I like their assortment of plants and flowers, their produce section also has good prices. I noticed that they didn't carry some of the salads that you might find in the bay area locations like the Greek salad. Overall, a good store to get organic and delicious items, and you can't forget the sweets! I find myself never leaving without the Dark Choc Pretzel Slims which you can't find in other stores. And the Sour Cream Puffs are also one of my faves, it's so good for the price! read more

I love Trader Joe's, and this location was super bright and the aisles were huge! It was also a very clean location. I always love looking for new treats when I go to a different TJ's and this one didn't let me down. The staff here were also very happy and positive overall. Believe it or not I have been in a Trader Joe's that had grumpy staff, so good customer service is important to me. I will hit up this trader Joe's on my way to visit my sister and if I am ever passing through this area. read more

I would just like to know why you sell lettuce with a live snail inside the bag! Are your standards so low that you do not bother to even check every single product you place in your store! This is beyond ridiculous and I am beyond livid at the atrocity, that is alive and kicking inside the bag. I know you sell organic products but you really didn't need to include a live snail! Someone will be there at your store tomorrow to show you the lettuce and the receipt as proof that it was purchased from your store. I expect the Regional or General Manager to be there to explain this !!! read more
