Dear Trader Joe's Green Hills, I don't know who's in charge over there, but I'd like them to replace every world leader immediately. The United Nations? Dissolved. Congress? Sent home. The DMV? Bulldozed. Trader Joe's Green Hills is now the governing body of civilization. I've never walked into this place and been greeted by someone who looked like they'd rather be anywhere else. Every employee smiles like they just got engaged, won the lottery, and pet a golden retriever on the way to work. It's suspicious. As a child with OCD, I had approximately 47 family members. Officially it was 14 aunts and uncles and four grandmas, but emotionally it felt like 900 relatives. There were houses where I'd rather eat the upholstery than touch the food. Sometimes it was the smell. Sometimes it was the vibe. Sometimes my brain simply declared, "We're fasting today." Then I came to the US, and discovered Trader Joe's. If one of your employees handed me drywall in a toothpick, i would sample it! This store is cleaner than my conscience after returning my shopping cart. I have genuinely considered quitting my career just to work here. Unfortunately, my therapist intervened. I asked why. She said, "Tarek... you'll be fired within a week." "Why?" "Because you're still a menace to society, and you'll spend half your shift flirting with your coworkers and the other half flirting with customers." Corporate is so dramatic. So instead, I remain a costumer romanticizing what could have been. Whenever people visit NashVegas, everyone says, "Let's go to Broadway." Wrong. We're going to Trader Joe's. You're going to experience affordable flowers, tiny shopping carts, free samples, and enough positive human interaction to make you question whether you've accidentally died. I have left this store happier than I've left actual therapy sessions. The only complaint I have, and this physically pains me to write is: PLEASE bring back the Middle Eastern kibbeh. I'm not saying I'll stand outside holding a candlelight vigil, but I'm also not saying I won't. Trader Joe's Green Hills is the only place where I walk in needing grapefruit juice and leave with seventeen items, inner peace, a houseplant, frozen Indian food, three cheeses I can't pronounce(i speak french mind you) l, and the confidence to forgive my enemies. I love every single one of you. If this store ever closes, I'll simply assume the apocalypse has started and act accordingly. read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Crazy to think I have been in this area hundreds of times over the past few years and never realized this TJ's was here...But, now I know and since I discovered that, I have made my way here on several occasions! Much like any trip to TJ's, I never really have a full list, I kind of let the store tell me what I need beyond the necessities. Speaking of, my necessities are usually focaccia and/or flatbreads, sauces and spreads, cheese and some variety of frozen goods, whether it be veggies or meats. This last trip was no different, as I got all those things plus a few snacks, a bottle of wine and a bit of charcuterie. This location, like all others, is busy, but efficient. A tad smaller with a slightly altered layout of entry/exit and cashiers, but it still works and makes things happen. With that, the parking lot can be a bit dodgy as well, so make sure you are paying attention while scooting through, in or out. Service is good here. Not much interaction on the floor, but the cashiers always bring it home! Overall, love me a good Trader Joe's! read more

Great experience at this TJ's location! The aisles are wide enough to allow you to move, the shelves were well-stocked, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The florals were fully-stocked and looked fresh. Parking was plentiful. This is our go to when we're in town! read more

I love Trader Joe's and I make it a habit to visit as many locations as I can in my travels. This one is pretty small and really hectic. I couldn't find parking close by but I don't mind walking. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. This location is a bit smaller than the location I frequent in AZ but I found my "staples" easily. Clean, organized and friendly ! read more

I've been shopping at Trader Joe's for years with no issues. I've been to this specific location 3 times (all 3 times were months apart from each other), --and I got spoiled food 2 of the 3 times. The first time I had raw chicken in my pre-made chicken salad which gave me horrible food poisoning & the second time I bought a frozen trader Joe's lasagna. I made it (cooked from frozen) and a few bites in, I got a bite that was straight mold!! This location in particular clearly has some issues with food handling. Absolutely horrible. Management needs to step up and take food safety seriously before they end up killing someone. read more

The store was clean and very well presented, and the staff was very, very nice and professional.

I hit two Trader Joe's stores while in Nashville. I stumbled upon this one by accident after filling up my car with gas at a station down the road. I made a spontaneous right turn into the parking lot and backed into a parking spot. The parking lot does get busy. You can still find a decent parking spot despite the volume of cars and, in turn, people. I like this store a lot. I am a fan of Chomps meat sticks. This store had several varieties and I picked up one of each flavour. I like bringing them on flights heading home as snacks. I had picked up a package of watermelon jerky at a different Trader Joe's store. I loved it so much that I bought another package here. This store has lots of dried fruit. The dried baby bananas caught my attention. The cereal aisle is awesome. I ended up getting a box of cinnamon toasted squares. They were delicious. I brought back half the box and am sad that I polished them off recently. So good! What stands out at this store is the frozen desserts section. From vegan cookies and creme bonbons, to small containers of ube ice cream, I wanted everything that I saw. It was the most extensive variety of frozen treats that I had ever seen at any Trader Joe's. I picked up a package of pork potstickers. I like having potstickers for breakfast. It allows me to change up the free breakfast items at the hotel and saves me a trip downstairs in the morning. Instead, preparing them in my room's kitchenette made it feel like being home away from home. They were yummy and excellent. I had a cheerful man who helped cash me out. I paid with my credit card. Done! He packed everything in a paper bag. I wished him a great day. He reciprocated and I happily headed to my car with my goods. I miss Trader Joe's, especially this one. It had everything that I needed and wanted. (350) read more

Great location, very organized. The cashier who helped me was very pleasant and packed everything into a paper bag. Busy parking lot though and it's not the easiest to get in and out of. I went in without a plan and came out with fantastic items. I love their Garlic Naan and there was only one package left, so I must not be the only one. I also really enjoy their Bao Buns and Samosas. The frozen dessert section has some pretty unique items. I was looking for the Horchata or Ube ice cream that I saw mentioned in another review, but it wasn't there and I bought Okie Dokie instead. It was pretty delicious. Every time you stop by you will probably find a new item to love, that's what brings me to Trader Joe's. read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Trader Joe's has always been (and probably will always be) one of my favorite places to shop! Especially for those with dietary needs, Trader Joe's hits the nail on the head. I've always admired that in addition to their smiley service and surplus of options, the Trader Joe's team is always in the race to leave a positive impact. Whether it's offering organic lollipops to kids who visit Trader Joe's stores, or providing wooden forks to those who purchase lunch, the Trader Joe's team is always in search of ways to make someone smile. Now about those wooden forks... I am a huge fan of the idea. Using wood instead of plastic is downright genius! However, the function of the fork is sometimes questionable. What I recommend to frequent Trader Joe's visitors, is to keep a few metal forks in your car for when you stop for lunch! This way, you avoid the need to use the wooden forks provided by Trader Joe's, and will still be making a positive difference by avoiding the use of plastic utensils. Keep it up Trader Joe's team, and see you next week for my weekly shopping run. read more

Why does Trader Joe's have to be so far? I really like shopping at Trader Joe's but I only come when I don't mind fighting the traffic. Trader Joe's please come to North East side of Nashvillle. They have the best pickle popcorn ever!! Can't find it anywhere else. So I buy a case and make it last. They have the beat vegan cherry ice cream too. That never lasts long. It's that delicious. read more

Why does this place have to be so far?! I hope they open another location near or around me. Whenever I am in the area I go to Trader Joe's and stock bc there are items there I can't get at my local Publix or Kroger. The one thing that makes me sad is when they discontinue a favorite item of mine. The employees are next level! I have never had a bad dream experience, you can tell they enjoy their jobs. Parking can be crazy but my last couple of visits wasn't bad, it's more of the green hills traffic. read more

Coming from CA, this place was my safe place in a foreign town. Had everything I needed. Thank you

My fiancée and I love TJ's. We go every week or so. Tonight, when checking out, we were greeted by JP. He was so friendly and helpful. I asked him what reuseable bag I should get and took much too long to decide, but he didn't mind at all. He was a lot of fun. I love Trader Joe's customer service in general, but he was exceptional. Thanks JP! Give this man a raise! read more

I wouldn't usually leave a review for a grocery store but I just have to shout out the employees here. I had a very uncomfortable situation where another customer approached me and several other women inside the store. When I checked out I mentioned it to the employees and they told me they had already noticed and were keeping an eye on it. They even walked me out to my car to make sure I was safe! I feel like a lot of stores, especially large chains, don't feel the need to go above and beyond when it comes to customer service, so I really really appreciate this. I love Trader Joe's in general and this experience just impressed me so much. read more

I truly love Trader Joe's, no other grocery store can compare with their reasonable prices and unique products with each seasonal change. I went recently and it's pumpkin season. There were so many varieties of items that were pumpkin flavored . A few must have from Trader Joe's are the frozen purée garlic, basil and ginger cubes in the freezer. I always purchased their nutritional yeast and hot pepper sauce. Definitely can't go wrong shopping at this place. The parking lot is shared with another business. It can tend to feel very congested so be aware of your surroundings. Those parking spots are a hot commodity. Overall this is wonderful place to shop for hours. read more

Took an Uber here from downtown so we could buy prepackaged salads to eat during our convention-packed days. You know how it goes, you go for one thing and end up leaving with 57. It was the beginning of pumpkin everything season when I went in September but my suitcase was already at it's limit so I didn't buy too many of my pumpkin favorites here...but my favorites are: Gluten free pumpkin pancake mix dark chocolate sea salt almonds ABC bars (almond butter cocoa) dried tangerines spices On this trip I also got bananas for 19cents each, and nice looking fruits too. I threw them into my smoothies during the mornings and they were great for on the go snacks. Wish we had a Trader Joes. read more

WOW!! I cannot get over how big this location is and the amount of items they have compared to the 3 locations I have in SW Florida. The only disappointment was that they did not have a Nashville reusable bag. I collect these from all of the TJ's I go to. The friendliest staff members. read more

Have you ever been to a bad Trader Joe's? I have yet to find one, and this location in Green Hills is as equally fantastic as the rest. Location, convenient for me (as I work right up the road). Parking lot, atrocious, but better since the new location on White Bridge opened. Store, clean and always well stocked. It doesn't matter the time of day I'm there, always several employees out restocking shelves. Prices, the best! Keep it up TJ. Customer service at this location is without a doubt the best I've seen in all my years of shopping here (at locations in Michigan, Illinois and now Tennessee). I believe they read minds here. Without being pushy or fake sounding, these employees know when you're looking for a little assistance and they are so happy to help and kind about it. But the kicker for me was tonight... as I was pulling out of the parking lot in a sudden DOWNPOUR that seemingly came out of nowhere, I saw an employee holding an umbrella over a mother and her daughter walking to their car. He was getting soaked in the process, but they were clearly caught off guard with the rain and he wanted to help. Note: Trader Joe's does not sell umbrellas. This is a company that hires good people who do good things just because. It truly warmed my heart to see that this evening. Thanks Green Hills TJ - keep doin' your thing. read more

I don't fully understand why Nashville has like -2 grocery stores, but it's fine because I will be getting Trader Joe's chili lime rolled corn tortilla chips come hell or high water. the Nashville Trader Joe's is well stocked and pretty large, and the only drawback is that it's not closer to the center of town. read more

I always come to this location and love it. The staff is so nice when I ask where something is; they always walk me to the right place, and when I check out, they always make conversation. The shelves are always stocked and my grocery bags are always filled in a way that makes it easier to put my food away once I get home (frozen food together, vegetables and fruits together, etc.) Keep doing what you are doing!! read more

Trader Joe's has the kindest, most helpful employees in the world. I had to return an item that I didn't particularly like but was already opened, and they easily returned it with no problems. Their staff are always easily accessible for questions and are ready and willing to answer them. I'd love to see them add a self-checkout feature in the future for people with a few items because it can get very busy there and they can get very backed up during those times but it will never deter me from shopping at my favorite grocery store! read more

Did you know you can call Ahead and reserve something!?!? Love love love this place and it's workers. Also side notes- if you see something seasonal- don't wait- Nashville is exploding and people are buying fast- another tip- Aldis carries some Of the same seasonal offerings. Parking is decent and the line goes fast. It truly is a store for mostly fun appetizers. read more

Trader Joes in Nashville is the definition of organized chaos. The parking lot is always filled but you are always able to find a spot. Walking in you find everything that you need plus more. Trader Joe's has all the essentials plus tons of local and seasonal goods. read more

Signs are so cute at this location an the "new items" display is bountiful! Their themed displays are always cute as well and the crew at Trader Joe's never disappoints. Parking isn't as bad as other stores- you might have to walk a couple minutes but you won't have to wait for a spot! read more

On way to Ohio so only spent $100. I really love this place and will stop on way back. I love this place! read more

I am a BIG fan of Trader Joe's. I am a frequent visitor at this location in particular. They always seem to be stocked with new and niche products and items. Similar to my Target shopping trips, I got in for a few items, and end up buying so much more. They have a great sampling section in the back, to introduce you to products you might not have tried before. While parking is sparse, and aisles are tight--if you come during non-peak times you'll find a much easier time shopping. But honestly, the chaos is part of Trader Joe's charm! This location in particular has such nice, friendly staff open to any questions you have when getting lost inside! read more

Trader Joe's - Shopping bag haul - Grocery Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I always enjoy going to this store. I just wish it was closer to my home. I hate to fight the traffic to get to them and then once I am there..I hate to fight the small parking lot and then shoulder to shoulder inside the small store. The prices are good but sometimes are a little high. I would shop here more often if the prices were a little more budget friendly and I wish they had a bigger location. But, I still enjoy shopping here!! And I will continue to fight the traffic and the small location to go here every now and then. read more

I lived most of my adult life not knowing what happens behind these doors. And I admit, on my first trip, it all seemed foreign. I didn't get it. NOW I CANT AND I MEAN CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT. You will have Green Hills traffic and a super fun time finding a parking spot... deal with it. You will be rewarded for your efforts. Will you have to jockey to get a space at the produce aisle, yes. Will you wait in a long-ish line to check out? Yes. Will they be out of a few things you are looking for? Yes. That's just the way it goes. But I count my lucky stars that I have access to this magical place. For a foodie, I never stop learning here. I follow lots of TJ shoppers on insta, and they inspire me to no end!! They have products here that simply can't be replicated. These products help cut down on my meal prep while still elevating my culinary game. Do I wish they were twice as big with a Sams size parking lot?? I think we all know that answer. But for a girl who never even had access to one, you will NOT catch me complaining!! Print it. read more

Trader Joe's - This is the kind of social media post I am Talking about! - Grocery Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I like this Trader Joe's. I think it can be a bit hectic literally on any given day since it is in Green Hills, but nevertheless, it is well stocked and taken care of by the employees. Employees seem genuinely happy to work here and they always provide wonderful costumer service. I think if I had any complains it would be the parking lot situation. It is a zoo and it is like solving a rubik's cube getting out of there. read more

I know people love Trader Joe's. Like a lot. I personally think it's fine but not worth the hassle? If you're going to shop at this store, I highly recommend getting there close to when they open (I went at 8am this past Sunday). It's way less crowded - you can actually move your cart! And you park! Being in Green Hills, the location of this Trader Joe's is pretty brutal. But everyone once in a while you just need something from Trader Joe's. In those situations, just be smart (go early or late)! read more

I am a croissant lover, and chocolate filled croissants are one of my favorite treats on the planet. Trader Joe's frozen chocolate croissants are better that any I have ever tasted. You bake them at home after letting then rise overnight. Heaven on earth!!! read more

NUMBER ONE NOTE: They choose the most awful parking situations. And... It's been a decade since I've used my car insurance, but yep, got into a super minor fender bender IN THE PARKING LOT HERE. UGH it's so frustrating. Ok, so my suggestion is DONT GO ON THE WEEKENDS. If you have to, go before 10am. DONE. Otherwise, it's like walking into a shiny new toy store. Free coffee, free samples - I mean, did you know you can walk up to the back counter with an item you want to try and they will literally bust it open for you? WHO ELSE WOULD DO THIS AMAZINGNESS FOR THEIR CLIENTS. That's pretty fantastic!!! Plus the holidays they always bring out the big guns with the fancy flavors. I'll take one of each of their pumpkin things. Same for Christmas, one of everything pleaseeeee. The greenery when you first walk in is always great, and did you know they have cards? I mean, you need to go if you haven't been. Just know if you go on the weekends it's a literal nightmare and they run out of things, it just happens - don't say I didn't warn you... read more

Usually a delightful place to shop, I love Trader Joe's, Although today my friend and I (who is visiting from Washington) we're suspiciously carded and had our IDs examined for a moment too long. We are both in our early 30's. The individual who questioned the quality of my friends license made us leave feeling like unappreciated customers. Will not be returning to this location. read more

I love the people here almost as much as I love the chocolate hummus. Seriously, the workers will drop everything and help you find whatever obscure cauliflower-based frozen food you're looking for. Not to mention the samples are always bomb. The parking lot, however, is the seventh circle of hell. It has yet to keep me from my fresh bruschetta sauce yet though so good things come to those who wait (and wait...and wait). read more

I just can't do it anymore.* Despite my love of juice, frozen ethnic meals, cookies, popcorn, and (finally) cheap wine, I can't do it anymore. The parking lot. The oversized cars (unless you live in the country and tow isht on the regular, you don't need a truck; you don't. And if you don't know how to park the s.o.b. in one spot, you certainly don't need one). The unruly children (a marketing campaign for Lord of the Flies, perhaps? Control your bad a$$ kids, people!!). The congestion. The lack of stock. The overall rudeness and lack of common courtesy (you're in a grocery store in a wealthy first-world city; your life can't be that bad. It can't be). Getting my heels banged with carts as patrons race for free samples. I can't. Not anymore. I'm convinced whoever scouted this location hates people. This has to be a social experiment. Has to be. *My undying love for TJ juice keeps this review at 3 stars. I know. I'm weak. read more

First-time visit to Nashville and wanted to check out the local TJs. After my visit there, I'm now convinced that it's part of the TJs plan to have the worst entry, parking, and exit experience for its customers at almost every location across the country. Why must every store be located on the smallest lot they can find in the area??? Okay so I've only been to 12-15 TJs so maybe that's an unfair assessment. Is this how they keep their prices low and have such a great return policy? I'd accept a 7-day return policy in exchange for larger parking lots. This was my first Middle America TJ visit and was pleasantly surprised to see some of the selections were different than what I've seen on the east and west coast stores. Differences aside, what is there must be popular because some foods were out of stock and parts of the freezer section were bare. The staff was very friendly and the decor was very cool with the country music themes. I started to panic when I couldn't find the chocolate bars in the "regular" section above the frozen foods but was relieved to find them placed in various sections by the checkout aisles. I was hoping to see a TJ shopping bag that represented the region (like they have with the NYC bags) but I didn't notice any. Hope I didn't overlook it. read more

I always feel at home at Trader Joe's no matter if it's a location in a big city or a small one. This one in Nashville was no different. I felt like I knew where everything was, even though it was one I had never been to. Yup, things were easy to locate, staff was super helpful and quite friendly. Prices are affordable for exceptional quality products. The hotel we were staying at didn't provide a large fridge, so we had to limit ourselves on perishable items. They pretty much have everything I need at Trader Joe's, except for organic kale bunches that I prefer to purchase over bagged (already washed kale). Not my favorite, honestly. Trader Joe's even has a decent selection of pre-made salads and dinners and a robust selection of dry goods like nuts and healthy snacks. The customer service at the register was probably the nicest I have ever encountered at any TJ's (and I've been to a lot of them). They were all so friendly and personable, which put the icing on the cake! This one is pretty close to the mall and some nice eateries, so if you're hungry after shopping, then make sure to hit one of them up. So, if you're visiting Nashville and need your Trader Joe's fix... here you go; you're welcome! read more

My family and I have had a hard week evacuating from New Orleans to Nashville due to hurricane Ida. I stopped here to pickup some wine and chocolate for our relatives as a thank you for hosting us. Not only was I engaged in conversation once while picking out my chocolate but also at checkout. I wish I could remember the guys name but I told him my story and he was compassionate and welcoming. He bought me another piece of his favorite chocolate candy as a gesture of goodwill. This is what hospitality is all about. Thank you for making me feel at home. Best, Troy Lenihan read more
