    On a Saturday morning in late May, my sister and I stopped by after 9am. 2 staff persons were outside asking us if we were buying bags. We were lucky when they had mini cooler bags. It was limited 3 and chose blue colors or pink colors. They had plenty after 9:30am in the carts. It wasn't too crazy shopping after 9am. I was able to find my staples on the shelf. Also the lines to pay was short too.

    The secret is out! This Trader Joe's is the best one in the area Friendly service. Amazing selection. A Trader Joe's that actually has totes for their regular customers. Shout out to Wan! She always is friendly and amazing at telling me brand new items!

    From this!

    I gotta give it to Trader Joe's. Although I'm far from being a fan on 100 percent of any of their prepared foods. There are some items here that reign supreme. They got wild organic frozen blueberries which I LOVE, their organic fruits and veggies are priced perfectly. Portions are perfect for a few days before the next stock up. Also one of the main reasons why I'm writing this review is because their floral section, which is possibly if not the best. Beating all florists by pricing every inch of the way and selection. This has always been my go to for anytime I want to surprise my wife with flowers. The color selections are always in season. Also there isn't one bouquet I have made that my wife hasn't loved. Brownie points to Trader Joe's. Also let's not leave out the amazing conversations you get to have at every cash register. The employees are all well seasoned with the best attitudes. I don't think I have ever met anyone having a bad day here. Always glad to help and always thankful that you are a shopper. I mean why can't other businesses take notes? So on behalf of this praise towards Trader Joe's. Check out the fall haul of flowers I picked up this season for my beautiful wife! P.S. Speculoos ice cream is one of those where I say I don't care what's in it, I'm eating it!

    Staff were friendly, we purchased some frozen items and some fruit. Grocery store is clean, well stocked, and plenty of new options to try.

    I was looking for a Trader Joe's (TJ) that I have never shopped at in the past. I found this one located on the north side of Pasadena. It's right next door to Stonefire Grill if you're curious. I love shopping at TJ. They have so many interesting food items in frozen and non-frozen form. I have my go-to staples that I usually buy from TJ. It never fails though... I usually end up getting more items than I originally planned LOL and that's okay. This TJ is a pretty standard size TJ. I've seen bigger and smaller ones. I specifically wanted to pick up some salsa and chips. I was here on a Tuesday night around 8:30 PM... 30 minutes prior to closing time and I saw a lot of TJ staff stocking up the shelves. While I was at the salsa aisle, I asked the young gentleman who was stocking up salsas at the time which salsa he would recommend. He was very kind to share his top picks. He also brought me to the fresh salsa section, too. I ended up getting both jarred (Salsa Autentica, Salsa Verde, Organic Salsa Chunky) and freshly packed (Guacasala, Extra Hot Habanero Ghost Salsa, Salsa Especial Medium, Salsa Especial Mild) salsas. When I went back to the salsa aisle where the chips were, there were two other gentleman and I asked them for their top picks on chips. I got two different recommendations which was fine. Everyone has different taste buds and that's okay. I ended up opening both bags of chips to give them a try and I liked them both so I got them both (Organic Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips, Truly Tortilla Chips). Hey, I work fast! LOL I also found out that TJ has a generous return policy... you can bring almost any item back to the store for a full refund, with or without a receipt. This includes food items you've opened and even eaten as well as nonedible products that didn't meet your expectations... now that's great business policy! Thank you all for your time and good recommendations/tips. I appreciate it. All the staff from stockers to cashiers are so very friendly and pleasant. That's what a great business should have... great staff, great service, and great items! Just GREAT! I would recommend this TJ location any day. And yes, I ended up picking up other food items beside salsa and chips... like I said, it never fails LOL. Btw, tons of parking available so no worries. I know there are some TJs that have very limited parking. You're in good space at this one. Thank you!

    I had a few questions about poinsettia and flagged down an employee foe help. It happened to be manager Julie. She was friendly, courteous, and provided me with excellent customer service. She informed me that I could always call and have them order the quantity I need. She also said that if they did not have enough poinsettias in stock at their store, they will be happy to arrange to have the poinsettia held for me at another Trader Joe location. Trader Joe is selling medium size poinsettia for only $6.99 each vs. $9.99 elsewhere. As always, great products and awesome prices at Trader Joe's. The store was busy as usual, but well stocked as they have employees constantly replenishing products on the shelves. Busy Sunday afternoon, but in spite of the crown, it was a pleasant experience to shop there. The store was clean, well maintained, and well stocked. The restroom was clean.

    Always a pleasure to go shopping here. we wanted to replace the food we were eating at our nephews house. The crowds were low so shopping was quick. Found all the goodies on our list and then some. Shared parking lot.

    They have unique choices like these rice florals
    Jennifer P.

    I don't shop at Trader Joe's as much as I would like but this specific location had a very spacious parking lot which is a plus to me! I only came for florals and they had a good variety. However, they didn't have eucalyptus that day so I was a little disappointed but it is the holidays so I don't blame them. The florals were fresh, cheap, and the cash wrap people were extremely friendly! It was extremely busy but the workers were still friendly, the lady who assisted me offered me a wine box to hold all my flowers which was quite shocking to me bc I'm used to scramble all the small bouquet in my arms all the way to my car. These little things I usually appreciate so thank you!

    Dear Pasadena Public Health Department Environmental Health Division,…read more I am writing to formally report a serious health code violation and unsanitary conditions observed at Ralphs Grocery Store, located at 160 N. Lake Ave., Pasadena, CA 91101. Incident Details * Date of Observation: Monday, July 27, 2026 * Time of Observation: Approximately 3:00 PM * Location Inside Store: Self-serve bagel and bread display cabinet Description of the Violation The self-serve bagel and bread display case was teeming with flies. Numerous insects were actively flying inside the cabinet and crawling directly all over the uncovered food products. I have captured clear video evidence documenting this infestation, which is available upon request for your investigation. Public Health Risks and Concerns This environment poses an immediate and severe health risk to consumers for several critical reasons: * Pathogen Transmission: Flies carry over 100 dangerous pathogens. They easily transfer hazardous bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Shigella from external waste directly onto the food surfaces. * Direct Contamination: Because flies liquefy solid food, they regurgitate digestive enzymes and defecate on the bakery items. This leaves live bacteria and viruses behind. * Ready-to-Eat Hazards: These items are sold as ready-to-eat foods. Consumers eat them without cooking or heating them first, meaning there is no kill-step to destroy the transferred pathogens. This creates a high probability of foodborne illness. * Prolonged Exposure: The enclosed nature of the display cabinet traps the flies inside, leading to a high concentration of continuous contamination on the food. This active infestation indicates a critical failure in store sanitation, inadequate pest control management, and a clear violation of California retail food safety codes. Please initiate a health inspection of this facility as soon as possible to address this hazard and protect the public. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

But the elderly can't do that so it's why the lines are so long. Now here is the kicker. At the end of the checking line is a manager ...sometimes 2. A man and a woman. They are observing the long lines...counting something...just observing. It would help if THEY just go to the end of a long line and start bagging! See, that would be cool! You see you guys have not scheduled any baggers and the lines are so long they are down the aisles .. and you are just standing there? Of course they may say, well that's not my job. But that's the mentality that keeps things moving slow. It would be so nice if people just did what it takes to keep things moving. Either hire enough people OR get in there and start bagging! I remember back in the days there was a bagger at the end of each checkout aisle. A bagger and a casher! Those days are gone ...and most stores now see if they can get away with overworking the checker! Next thing you know they install self check outs! Rather than hire people and keep a system of people working they just get rid of people and have 1 person observing (like these managers were doing). What a world we are moving towards. But anyways that's what you see. I wish they would just hire bag boys and go back to the good ol days.

This was sliced and stored in the dessert refrigerator section where all the take out foods were located. Loads of coconut flavor with toasted coconut flakes! After each bite, there is a strong coconut flavor, yet you can taste the coconut essence in it versus real coconut flavor too, which detracts from the coconut cake eating experience. Lol. The cream is not as sweet as the cake. The cake itself is denser and had a wet texture versus a fluffy cake texture. That can be a big minus for those who are looking for that fluffy cake texture. Overall it is sweet, but not super sweet. The filling was coconut milk, but it tasted like condensed milk with coconut flavor added to it. Liked the flavor of the filling. It was not as sweet as expected either. The addition of toasted coconut flakes was delish. It really made everything taste better. This cake is still sweeter than Erewhon's Carrot Cake. I haven't had the best coconut cake, so I have nothing to compare this cake to, but I think anyone craving a coconut cake may enjoy this! EREWHON CARROT CAKE Organic ingredients used. One thing that was different was they used almond meal instead of all purpose flour. So the texture is different. It is a dense cake, as expected, but also like the coconut cake it is a wet cake too. Not a cake texture. The flavor is strong! You've got brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg at the first bite. Then the textures and flavors of the carrots, walnuts, and golden raisins and then the cream cheese. Outer layers were coated with chopped walnuts so there was more crunchiness and nutty flavor with each bite! The flavor is reminded me of Fall! A very warm-flavored Fall cake! Loved this more than the coconut cake, as the coconut cake is a one dimensional flavor, but the carrot cake had layers of Fall flavors! Cream cheese was not overly sweet with a hint of cream cheese tang. For those who crave carrot cake, this would be a good alternative when you don't know where to find a decent carrot cake. I would get this again! EREWHON ORGANIC POTATO CHIPS TRUFFLE These chips were delicious! It was thin like Lay's potato chips. The chips were a bit on the smaller side and some were bunched up together in clumps. But that's even more fun to eat! Strong black truffle flavor and saltiness. Would buy again! GIADZY NODI MARINI This is a pasta brand from chef Giada DeLaurentiis. Ordered from her website before she started selling her Giadzy pasta brands at Erewhon! It is on the pricier side, but the Nodi Marini is my favorite pasta from her pasta collection! This is generally called a Vesuvio pasta, a pasta from Campania. Delicious however you cook it! You can probably find this pasta shape from other well known Italian brands as well. TUMERIC CRUSH (Orange juice, carrot juice, pineapple, mango, tumeric, ginger, lemon, beet juice, camu camu) Got this smoothie with a shot of organic coconut oil. Wanted to try this and I thought this was a good healthy option. Served in a 20oz plastic cup, this was a large-sized smoothie! The smoothie tasted like fresh ginger, orange and tumeric. But the overall flavor was of strong freshly ground ginger. Very potent! Smoothie was icy cold too! There was sweetness in it from the other fruit juices in it. I did enjoy it and will get it again. Only downside was the wait time for one smoothie took a long time to make! CUSTOMER SERVICE Every time I'm here the customer service has been great! Staff were nice and helpful.

Stepping into Erewhon feels like a social experiment - there were a handful of people actually grocery shopping, but it felt like a vast majority were there to grab ready-made food (and/or a smoothie ofc).

I've been coming to this Vallarta for a while, and while I really like many things about the store, the customer service at the service counter/booth has been extremely disappointing. I've gone to the counter/service booth on several occasions to cash a check or take care of other services, and the experience with the lady working there has consistently been unpleasant. She is a lady with blonde hair and always wears a mask covering. She comes across as extremely unfriendly and impatient, and it often feels like customers are bothering her simply by asking for assistance. What bothers me even more is that I've personally witnessed her speaking to other customers in a very rude and disrespectful manner while they are simply trying to get help. I've also seen her treat her own coworkers rudely when they come to the counter needing assistance. It's uncomfortable to stand in line and watch someone be spoken to that way. I understand that working with the public can be stressful, but basic courtesy and respect should still be expected when dealing with customers and coworkers. No one should feel like they are inconveniencing an employee by asking for a service that the store provides. With that said, I do want to give credit where it's deserved. Vallarta has some really good products and food. Their aguas frescas are delicious, and lately I've been getting their rotisserie chicken, which has been really good. The taqueria also serves fresh food, and I've generally had much better experiences with the employees in that department--they are friendly, helpful, and seem to genuinely care about providing good service. It's unfortunate that one person's attitude can make an otherwise good store such an unpleasant experience. I hope management takes customer service seriously, at the service booth because customers deserve to be treated with basic respect.

Even offered me a shopping cart to start my grocery shopping. They practically have everything from seafood, alcohol, sushi counter, to their deli/meat department, baked goods, along with fresh baked bread, canned and jarred foods, packaged pasta, beverages, hot cases; even a butcher that can cut and marinade your poultry according to your liking. I saw a Burrito Bar, (which was something new and interesting to me). They had fresh produce, party trays, dairy and a lot more. They have ample parking and street/metered parking too. They also have outdoor seating, if you choose to eat/drink your beverage, food outside. They do catering, pick up and delivery orders. Aisles were fully stocked and easy to navigate. It's a nice, CLEAN, big store with a lot of discounted items here and there. Which was nice. What I liked is that the manager was helping the cashiers, because they were very busy. That just shows that management cares about their employees, as well as the customers. I bought a few items practically from every department. They looked good and fresh.This store has you covered from A to Z! Thank you all, and everything starts from the manager. Good management will take you a long way.

    This is easily the tenth time an employee has interrupted my transaction. It's constant. The fact…read morethat these people think this is fine to do means they put the customer last. This lady actually walked in front of me and closed the line with her little spiral wire. Then I spoke up and they acted as if they did not expect anyone to actually object. It's ridiculous. Last time I was here there were people complaining about the smell in the restroom. Your customers need to come first Stater Brothers. Not your paperwork. Stop what you are doing and try to focus on customer service. I'm going elsewhere. The worst customer service is here at Stater Brothers. Do you not understand that the Eaton fire wiped a bunch of our homes off the map? Do better.

    Been shopping here since the market was "new". Decided to loop back, my usually rotation is…read moreRalph's, Sprouts, Trader Joe's occasionally Bristol Farms, and Erewhon for being touristy in my own town. I always have a pleasant shopping experience at Whole Foods Pasadena. First, it's covered parking, and if you are lucky, when you drive down the ramp, and no one is behind you, you can back in to a spot on that first bay . I always take the stairs, because it's on brand to be health motivated here. 9 times out of 10 someone holds the door. Very polite clientele! There are items here I can't get anywhere else, or hard to find. I love the unsweetened Yerba Mate and Jasmine White tea. Most of the time my tea is out of stock at Bristol Farms. I miss the breakfasts that were made to order here ages ago. But with Amazon buying the store brand, some prices seem lower. Always browse the clearance section. I scored some Weleda body oil for a great price !

    If I could give 0 zero stars for the customer service at this store, I would! No one is around if…read moreyou need help on any of the isles, the pizza lady from today had the worst attitude and made a cheese pizza that had 5% cheese on it and half unbaked (who's hiring the pizza workers???) It went straight to the trash, and never will I buy pizza from here again. Another time, the pizza stand was completely empty and I saw numerous packaged pizza doughs that looked like they had been out and over proofing for wayy too long! It wasn't refrigerated, and when I asked what happened, they said the burner broke down. If that's the case , you need to refrigerate the dough or hire someone that cares enough to handle food properly there. The cashiers never smile, don't make eye contact, and never greet you. They all look miserable ALL THE TIME! One time a cashier filled up one of my bags with really heavy groceries then told me to put it in the cart. I tried to pick it up and almost got a hernia ,and so I told him it's too heavy and I can't pick it up, and he just ignored me. He didn't try to put it in the cart himself because even he couldn't (it was so heavy). He didn't have the common sense or decency to even try emptying some of it into another bag . He just stood there, said nothing. (I ended up doing that myself) I tried to cut some slack for these guys, and give them the benefit of the doubt, and I've never once been rude to anyone there (even when I felt I had every right) I still kept quiet. However, the consistency of the horrendous customer service skills is disgraceful and disgusting. Where are the managers? Who is on the hiring committee? Why aren't any of these people getting proper training? Where is quality control? It's sad that standards are so low at this location that you treat your long time loyal customers this bad. Truly a shame. If I was a health inspector, I'd be shutting down your pizza center first, then I'd fire every single cashier there and train proper human beings to work with human beings.
