For some reason, I've always thought Trader Joe's was a more expensive place to shop for groceries. But lately when I started giving it a try again I realized many of their items are a lot less expensive than other supermarkets. You can find most things under $10. I recently bought a bag of 6 navel oranges (super sweet too!) for just $3.99. They don't sell by pounds which helps a lot. Got a bag of frozen potstickers for $6 which would've been around $10 at an Asian market. Snacks are mostly between $2-$6. I'm starting to like shopping here again as they have many interesting foods that are affordable. read more

They say size doesn't matter, but those people have never seen Trader Joe's size. Particularly this store in Orange. It's yuge! Just like I like 'em. Huehue. No joke it's the biggest Trader Joe's I've ever come to and I've seen my fair share of them growing up. Now to steer away from glazing about Joe's size. I find the staff to be exactly what the internet says about them- easy to converse with, super helpful, and probably making their way through college (at least the ones that have helped me so far are). There was one time where I timidly asked a question about a food they had out of stock and the cashier just yelled out what I asked for and they had someone busting a mission to find it! I didn't even need it that badly but that has been a core Joe memory for me. Shout out to that staffer whose name escapes me. Since I don't have a huge family to feed, Trader Joe's has been my go-to for just the right amount of food that I can finish without letting it go bad. Shout out to the Mango Cream Bars, Bulgogi Fried Rice, and Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs. If there's anything consistent in my life, it's those three. read more

The good: This was a very big Trader Joes with huge aisles between the frozen food sections. It wasn't too crowded when we went. I like how they have a huge variety of international foods. I even got some chao tom (Vietnamese shrimp dish) in their frozen section. Their flower selection is a great price. Their whole milk yogurts are delicious. I love how they have new items all the time and many seasonal and giftable treats. I love their shampoos, hand soaps and sunblocks as well. The bad: They didn't give my 2 year old stickers like the others stores have. I wish they sold online gift cards that I could email people but I guess it's cool how they've always kept things simple from their ads, their laid back uniform, and their lack of delivery and connection to online conveniences. It gives them less of a mega-corporation feel. The interesting: I've been to their original location in Pasadena! read more

Their quality of food is great. I noticed when I first walked in the door that they had a variety of flowers. Let me tell you that section stayed busy! It seemed like every other person was walking out with flowers. I bought some food items with great prices compared to sprouts. However, they did not have a large variety of vegetarian frozen food. The store is clean and organized. read more

Everything was neatly organized and I found everything I was looking for. They had lots of items in stock and good prices. My friend recommended me to try the propolis for immunity support. Glad that the outer box was also wrapped. I also tried their bottle oolong tea and it was soooo good. Lovely strong tea flavor but not bitter. The staff were friendly, great service and I love the cleanliness and freshness of the store and items they carry. read more

This is a wonderful Trader Joe's location! Place is clean and there's plenty of parking. The staff is friendly and they go out of their way to assist. All the cashiers are open at the same time. The stuff here is always fresh and the cheese section is out of this world! I love their seasonal snacks as well. Eggs here are cheap compared to other stores. Dairy products are top notch. Great place for groceries! read more

Love that they made this Trader Joe's bigger! More space so that we don't bump into other shoppers. The people are not as friendly as other Trader Joe's that I usually go to. But friendly enough. The BEST place to go if you're looking for the mini totes / insulated totes. Doesn't get as bad as other locations. They pretty much get things about the same time others get it. But they do sell out by mid day if it's a popular item. Always love stopping by if I don't have lunch. You'll always find something to eat! read more

Came in to check out the new expansion and so far so good! Open for business but still under construction. Much bigger and roomier then before with all the same great items! Staff was very helpful and there were no lines. Lots of check out stands ready to help you. Everyone seems to be excited and pleased about it from the shoppers to the employees. Excited for them to finish. Wonderful to have them at Orange Mall! read more

The first that the cashier said was what are you doing today, she started scanning my items and started throwing them in the bag. At first I was I'll let first item pass but when she did that yo 3 items I was like STOP trowing them! She said you want me to chances them? I said no just stop doing that. She said that she tends to do that when she's working in a fast place . But no one was behind me or wasn't busy so that's not an excuse. That was rude Rebeca either the orange hair! I go here every weekend I will for sure go to the brea location instead. read more

This is my go to store. I live so close that if I need something for the fridge I can be there in less than five minutes on foot. Outstanding customer service from the staff; Madelyn, Gwen, Emily, Brittney, Madison, Chiara, Peri, Lei, Allison, Alexis, Cheyenne, and Eileen..... All do outstanding work! I have been to grocery stores all over planet earth. This location has the nicest, friendliest, employees I have ever encountered. The prices are very reasonable compared to other grocery stores. I really like some of the unique products, like the pasta sauces, cheeses, and chips. The thanksgiving Chips are epic! I really look forward to them every year. As a matter of fact, they're better than my actual thanksgiving dinner. I consider myself fortunate to have a store this great, so close to my doorsteps! read more

So many things to choose from, I love how they expanded the store. It's not so crowded, plenty of room to shop.

Super friendly people with so many options of snacks, drinks, and food! It gets packed!!!! Like I feel like I'm on the 405 freeway during rush hour. Good thing they're expanding the store. I won't be running into anytime with the cart. Regardless, people are patient and always smiling. read more

Customer service is always on point! It is a newly remodeled and expanded location, some shelves were empty, but I think they're starting to just fill up the expansion, the frozen section is wider so that is a plus . The ambience was nice just because it was wider spread than most Trader Joe's read more

Horrible customer service at this location. 2nd time coming to this one and won't ever come back. Even the first time I didn't have the best experience. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because one of the girls ( don't know her name) walked me over to the wine to try to help me, but her peers didn't even care to acknowledge me once we both got to the wine. She said so and so is here to help you if you need suggestions and one of the guys says "no I'm not " . RUDE & immature. Also, cashiers seem to be ALOT slower at this location. By the looks of the previous comments about customer service and how rude they are... My statement is valid. Never again. Traders Joes near south coast mall is the best one! read more

The staff at this trader joe's is very nice and the store looks good after the remodel.The reason for the low rating is the product availability. I have been shopping here for years now, before the remodel, and after the availability has not improved at all. Over 50% of the time that I visit this store I have to go to another trader. Joe's because they're out of salmon or they're out of fresh leaf greens like spinach. My family and I love trader Joe's but this location, is a disappointment for sure. read more

Cool store here in Tustin, Ca. I actually like this location better than my usual one. But I only came to this one because I was around the area. The store seemed smaller than others that I've been too, but I enjoyed it more. Very clean, well organized, spacious enough inside, comfortable aisles. Good variety of products, enough choices for everyone. Staff were very helpful and kind. I had to talk to them since I didn't know where things were. read more

I had an excellent experience at Trader Joe's due to the outstanding customer service provided by Gary. He was professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. His courteous demeanor and willingness to assist created a warm and comfortable atmosphere, making me feel truly valued as a customer. Gary's commitment to exceptional service reflects highly on Trader Joe's. read more

Great location with plenty of parking and helpful employees. everything was well stocked, everything was clean. Great quality Trader Joe's items such as the fettuccine Alfredo frozen packet, wonton jalapeño cream cheese, prosciutto, bananas, and pasta rigatoni. If you have a child, each store hides a stuffed animal somewhere inside the store. If they find it and mention it to the cashier, they get a free lollipop. read more

The greatest one stop shop for all your groceries and beauty needs. They have the best prices, freshest produce. The best frozen food variety under one roof. Also they have great deals on flowers. The staff at Trader Joe's make you feel like your family and always willing to help. read more

This review is about the customer service and not about the product. I would skip this location if you're a person of color. This location and the employees cater more to white customers and go above and beyond for them. I come to this location very often and am very observant. As of late, every time I've come to this location, ONLY the younger employees are nice to all the customers. The older employees are very selective with who they talk to and who they won't even bother and it's VERY obvious who they won't, people of color. They need better training and inclusivity. I can see that they mostly respond to the 2/5 stars and below and I hope this does go noticed. read more

It's a busy Saturday evening, and memorial weekend this weekend. I came in, bought my groceries, got home and realized i dropped one of my AirPods in the parking lot. I work in a loud environment and need to have them daily. I called the store right away and Allen answered. I knew they were busy and it was a long shot but i asked if they could check the parking lot for my AirPod. I was going to drive back regardless to look for it but was worried it would be run over or something before i arrived as i live 20 mins from this store. Allen called me back within minutes to tell me he found it. I'm so grateful he took the time to do that for me. Thank you Allen you're the best!! The store itself is clean, stocked and everyone is so helpful and nice. I don't feel like I'm bothering an employee here if i ask them a question or if i need help finding something because they're always so helpful. Love this store! read more

First time here and I won't be back. Why be deceptive with your pricing? I came in for roses for my daughters grave site and on the wall the price for 1 dozen roses is 10.99, but at the cash register it's 14.99. No where is it posted that they have different grades of roses and different prices, it just says 10.99. I spoke to the manager who told me the price was outside. Really? You think I'm looking through your parking lot for prices? Ridiculous. I was buying several dozen and that adds up. Very disappointed with Trader Joe's. read more

I barely started coming to Trader Joe's about a month ago and now I come on a weekly basis! Everything is so yummy and affordable! You have to try their chili like tortilla chips and also their Greek salad! Those are my favorites! As busy as this store gets, it's always well maintained/ clean and stocked! The staff here seems to all love their jobs, they are high energy, always willing to help and always greet with a smile! I always look forward to my weekly Trader Joe's shopping day! read more

The manager at this location is the worse.. I had to return some items because I had to make some quick changes concerning my health and he basically embarrassed me.. he talked very loudly saying I can't return items on my ebt card and there is a overbuying policy with i had no idea.. even the young man has to apologize for the manager's behavior.. My husband had the same bad customer service experience.. basically it made my experience being black in Orange County worse. read more

This is my local Trader Joe's and I am happy it's a good one :). It is on the smaller side, but it makes great use of its space and doesn't lack any items as a result of its tinier real estate. I come here weekly, and like most TJ's, the least busiest times tend to be close to opening/closing. The employees here are always extremely helpful and friendly. Every time I've had to ask a question, I always get back a thoughtful and helpful response. Parking is plentiful as this location is located in a larger shopping complex. Park in the back or farther out next near CVS next-door for the least amount of stress. Sometimes when TJ's is sold out of a particular item (and it does happen occasionally), there is a Sprouts in the same shopping complex which is super convenient if you need to run in there for something that TJ's might not have. read more

This store is the closest location to where I live. I like Trader Joe's products but the people here make me not want to come back. I like going to the one on Irvine blvd in Tustin because they treat everyone like a customer. At this location you'll catch employees giving you looks and with different attitude depending on who you are. They also don't really answer phone calls so try another store. If I need something quick I still stop by this store but not my favorite store to shop. I hope this helps them improve. read more

So I bought a few alcoholic beverages. Let's start with the Cookie butter beer. The beer was definitely not a good taste for me. The flavors were too rich for me. It had hints of chocolate, coconut, and thick IPA. Very strong. Next are the sparkling wine based champagne. Peach Bellini and mango. Definitely fruit flavored sparkling great spritzer drink. It doesn't need any juices since the flavoring is perfect. Chilled it's refreshing. I added a fresh fruit slice just for my personal like. read more

Second time to this Trader Joe's. I remember the first time here they were limiting people into the store about a year ago. It's seems like a smaller store, but still has a variety of things. Came here looking for their frozen risotto, but none could be found. They've updated their inventory a lot. Their frozen food aren't as interesting as before...meaning something really new to try. Frozen fried rice, I can make my own... lasagna... meh.... The bread here is good. Lots of variety! Can't get enough of the ciabatta bread. Please don't discontinue these! The staff here are nice and things are constantly being restocked which is great. The store is also kept neat and clean. Parking here is plentiful. Never have to worry about finding a parking spot since the Sears across the parking lot closed down during the pandemic. Overall with checking out if you're in the area. Just don't get to attached to certain things at Trader Joe's or you'll be disappointed when you can't find them at the store anymore. read more
