I shopped in Trader J's J when I live in California. Thanks for the two new stores in NOLA. They have the best gluten free pizzas, and sheet cakes. I loth going to the big box spots due to the impersonal size and lack of service. Thaks for great service and right sizing. read more

This Traders feels larger than ours and a little easier to navigate. The employees are of course friendly and helpful. The selections are great and the shopping experience is always pleasant. I always like to see what's new and check out the flowers. read more

Trader Joe's - What's new? - Grocery Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Happy to have another TJs in the area. This location has plenty of parking and not nearly as busy as Metairie. Friendly employees, clean store, just what you'd expect from TJs read more

The food over there is always fresh and excellent. The staff will always do anything to help if there is an issue. The ambiance is "mid-city vibe" and the cats down there a lil' slicker than the Metairie location... read more

I like this location but it seems like they're always out of at least one or two things when I visit. It's no one's fault but it's a little annoying at times. All in all, still a solid location. The prices are slowly creeping and I'm curious to see how that's managed over the next year. My grocery list has gotten smaller but my bill has increased so that's frustrating . Mostly recently, I indulged in some florals for an arrangement I've been waiting to make. They were fresh and beautiful and came together very nicely. read more

The store is clean, well organized, and fully stocked. Security was there, so I felt comfortable and safe the entire time. The employees were not friendly, they were not rude, but don't expect excited friendly behavior. Lol. Listen, I'm not that familiar with Trader Joe's, so I was a little skeptical about buying their oatmeal (because I really love oatmeal), but I tried it yesterday and baby...... it is DELICIOUS! Lol. read more

First, staff at this location are exceptionally kind. They also have security guards throughout to make you feel safe. But starting with the parking... everyone in NOLA does not drive a prius, and the spaces are suffocatingly small. Before parking we noted how many people were trying to squeeze into spaces. I'll add, DO NOT go on a weekend. I was playing bumper cars with jogging strollers and humans alike. Stock is well maintained, but you might have to play Twister just to reach your milk. I might try this location again - on a weekday. read more

New Orleans finally has a Trader Joe's of its very own. I'm thrilled that I no longer have to drive out to Metairie for my favorites, like their very affordable toasted sesame oil, quality low sodium soy sauce, sprouted tofu, fresh-squeezed OJ/tangerine juice, oat milk aaaaaand all that wine! This one is a bit different and I like that they don't have those wacky angled aisles. I don't love that they don't section wine according to region, but I'll live. They were out of a few of my favorites but that's the TJs way and the good thing is, I won't have to drive to Metairie to get frozen fruit bars anymore (god, those are good but melt so quickly). On that note, a plea to TJs to stock sorbets again. Ok, but the best part? I was shopping here at around 6pm and lo and behold the entire flower section was not bare. If you want fresh flowers in Metairie, you must get there at opening. It's kind of crazy. The parking lot may not be as big as the one in Metairie, but we found a spot. Not sure 6pm is prime time, but I know that a half hour before closing is most certainly not, so that's when I'll be planning to do my shopping. That TJs staff is as always, top tier. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear hawaiian print shirts. read more

Not much to say, but this is another great Trader Joe's and it's conveniently located on Tulane Ave. They have all the products we all know & love and plenty of parking! read more

Great location in an underserved urban artery of New Orleans. For a Trader Joe's, this one wins the prize for a well-organized parking lot that can accomodate pedestrians and vehicles fluidly as they enter/exit from different streets, taking good advantage of the corner lot design. Inside, the store is clean and spacious. The stockers were refilling everything when I went on a Saturday but it didn't feel croweded and teaming like most Trader Joe's that I have visited. This neighborhood has a wonderful local history and I'm glad to see a new thriving grocery store that can adequately serve its residents. read more

Love that the newest TJs is close to my work. And the parking lot is bigger than it seems. While this store is smaller (according to the news) than the Metairie store, it doesn't feel it. One of the workers said that they have less liquor at this shop but that's fine with me. Lots of fresh produce and TJ branded items. Minus one star because there are still a lot of empty shelves but that's because the store is too popular and they stock constantly. Maybe when the uptown store opens this will be better. read more

Everyone that knows me, knows that I do not play behind TJs. Their snacks are top-tier. This location opened a month ago but I had not been because I wanted to give it a little time. Well today, that time was up! Upon entering the store, I was a little lost because the layout is not like the Metairie store. I took my precious time going down each aisle. Pros: Aisles at this location are a bit wider than Metairie. Employees are nice. Customers here actually say "excuse me." Parking lot is great. Security guards are at the door and near the cheeses. Cons: I think the prices for some items here are a little higher than Metairie. Metairie store has more items/ things I shop for but an employee told me that they were working on that. Overall, I am glad that TJs has decided to build more stores in our area and I am looking forward to the Uptown location. I hope this addition has eased the crowds at the Metairie location. Bring one to the Bestbank please . read more

My experience at this Trader Joe's was simply far less pleasant than other locations I've visited. The parking lot here is far too small and seems jam packed. Inside it is equally jam packed full of people and just is unpleasantly crowded. The checkout was fast and that was the one winning aspect of my experience. For my future Trader Joe's shopping in the New Orleans area I'm going to go to the Metairie location which has a LOT more parking and the larger store gives humans space to spread out more so you don't feel like a bunch of canned sardines. Overall the store seem well stocked like most Trader Joe's and while the checkout was efficient the smaller footprint of the space just makes parking and shopping a less than pleasant experience. We will see how this develops as they still have an even smaller location opening on Freret Street that might make things less congested here. read more

New Orleans' very first Trader Joe's! What a treat! The parking lot is spacious with plenty of parking slots. At less than one week old, my shopping experience was very nice! The store was clean and generally well-stocked with several security guards on-site. I did see a couple of produce, refrigerated, and frozen items that looked like they needed to be replenished, but it was overall nicely stocked. I saw one crew member helping a customer, and the person who checked me out was super friendly! I will say, something about the store is lacking that Trader Joe's...sparkle, lol. I've tried to put my finger on it; it could be because the aisles are straight, it feels like your average grocery store. Maybe they just need to slant the aisles and turn the music up a bit...Get us in the mood to spend our money, lol. And have a couple more crew members out on the floor greeting customers and being available for questions...I believe it would enhance the shopping experience! The store is a wonderful addition to our community, and I hope it remains well-maintained. read more

This place is Amazing. Staff are really friendly and helpful! We make a trip from Mississippi every month or so.

I am quickly becoming one of those people that nerd out about Trader Joe's. Biggest wins, the parking lot and the prices. It's easy to get to, and quality items that change with the season that won't break the bank. At a time when groceries are at an all time high, it's convenient to have a place where I can buy things that can easily be transformed into a variety of meals. Add bonus items like fresh flowers and economy priced wine and beer, what's not to love? read more

SO happy to have a TJ closer to my neighborhood now and the best part ~ bonus surprise ~ my sweet baby REN!! - my favorite face to see at the Rouses on royal when I used to live in the quarter is working there!! i found my ren! the store itself was clean, spacious, well organized and packed with people but everything still moved super smoothly, there was no wait for a cashier, parking lot wasn't chaos and if the rest of the staff has anywhere near the bright and beautiful energy ren has, they have a stellar team! so happy to have a TJ closer to me now and so happy to have found one of the friendliest faces i know & have missed since I moved! read more

Came here to this new location instead of going all way to Metairie. Very nice, clean. A little bit smaller I think but still has the same items. The employees were nice and helpful. read more

Kelsey at the Tulane location went above and beyond to help me find an item I was looking for. She was so friendly and knowledgeable wrt every question I had. read more

I wasn't completely sold on this new Trader Joe's location just yet, but I do love that it's the first one planted in New Orleans proper. For nearby residents, it's more convenient than driving to Metairie. I stopped by just three days after opening, and it showed-- an employee mentioned not everything had been stocked yet, and the shelves reflected that. The vibe felt a bit more Rouses than Trader Joe's, which caught me off guard. Still, I'm a loyal fan, and I'll definitely swing back once the "new store" kinks settle. read more

I love Trader Joe's! The most recent visit, I recall walking in and saying to myself "What a beautiful store!". I was able to find everything I needed and checked out. The cashier was very helpful; getting a heavy case of bottled water for me. All in all, top tier store. read more

I'm a new patron to Trader Joe's new location on Tulane , which is a 2-3 block walk from my apt! The store is clean & bright ! Every isle has a variety of healthy foods! Majority of the prices are comparable to big box stores! The cashier's are so diverse and sweet! read more

We got everything we needed at Trader Joe's. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed this store.
