    Came for the bag
    Sofia V.

    So we made a quick stop to pick up strawberries and was looking for their fall canvas bag. There were none out but that didn't stop my mom from asking one of the associates. It was Tracy that offered to ask when the next shipment was to arrive. To our surprise she came back asking what colors she wanted. She escorted us to a different part of the store and brought out all the color options. She went in for one and left with three. It's people like Tracy who are bringing smiles to faces and that totally made our day! One was a gift for Dr. Lee.

    This Trader Joe's location has large spacious aisles and great selection. It also had more options on the shelves than other locations. I had questions about some of the products and was able to find assistance quickly. Staff not only answered my questions but gave me information about other products I might like to try. They had a large selection of prepared soups and salads, as well as some complete dinners on display. Garden fresh produce was available. Their beer and wine section was fully stocked as always. The frozen section was complete and I was able to find items missing from other Trader Joe's. Very helpful staff located throughout the store. Plenty of parking in a large lot with an entry on Huntington drive as well as San Gabriel Boulevard.

    Trader Joe's is located in Pasadena. It's a small grocery market but has all the necessary food you need. Prices seem fair. Staff were affable. Overall, it's a nice grocery store.

    I was in Pasadena, so I went to the nearest Trader Joe's to do some shopping for Thanksgiving dinner. I am a regular customer at trader Joe's but it was my first time to go to this branch. The lay out looked nice and almost standardized in some aisles same as other branches. If you wanted to shop at the last moment like I did, you would find wide selection of pies. The natural young Turkey is for 1.99 /lb They have also Turkey breast tenderloin. I also bought cranberry sauce, potatoes and green beans. I love trader Joe's apple cider, and I bought also spiced chai. There are wide variety of wine to choose from. In addition to some vegan collection. Don't forget to buy some flowers or poinsettia. I found many new beauty products which looked amazing and of course I bought some. For sure I will shop at this branch again!

    5 star customer service from Matt and Andrew!! they ran around and looked through all the pallets until they found it!! and shout out to the person who was on the phone with me (i didn't get the name ) telling me that hearts of palm were sold out as a customer (who bought 12 cans!!!) got the rest but a new shipment came in!! a girl can now enjoy her hearts of palm in peace

    Bought some bad milk rm this location?

    Yes, one time. Their milk seems to have shorter shelf life than some larger grocery chains. Perhaps their small stores with limited truck unloading space means the milk is exposed to higher temperatures for a longer period of time. I have seen this… Read more

    For those that are not familiar with Super King Market, this is a market that was founded by Peter…read moreand Mary Fermanian, with the first store in Anaheim (which has since remolded and is significantly bigger than the first one). The name "King" is a homage to honor their father, who was known to be the king of fruit. Super King Market is best known for their produce, excellent quality and very affordable prices. The market itself is very international in which you can find Middle Eastern items, Hispanic items and also Asian grocery items as well. I really love Super King and so does my husband. After my husband had discovered the location in Claremont (I actually had shopped there before he did, many years ago), he just has this desire to visit the other locations. We have already visited the one in Glendale, which is my least favorite of the 3 that we have gone to so far. This location is cleaner and does seem to be bigger (but I prefer the set up and layout of the location in Claremont. The parking is way better than the other 2 locations that we have visited). Anyways, we came by this store on a Saturday and it was definitely busy. But not so busy that it felt crowded (but can't say that will be the same for you if you come on a weekend). The first selection I love to visit is their produce section. There is such a vast variety of different, good quality, vegetables and fruits. And what makes this section even better is the fact that the produce is so cheaply priced. A market like this really encourages you to choose healthier choices of fruits and vegetables (and also whole grains. The dried grains, rice + beans section is also very cheap, as compared to the typical American market like Von's, Ralph's, etc). I also love all the different types of breads that you can find on the other side of the store. The prices for whole wheat pita bread is very cheap too (and also the regular pita bread for those who don't appreciate whole grain foods and don't get enough fiber in their diet). Be aware that a lot of their fresh breads have a short shelf life so make sure you finish your bread before they go bad and have mold :( Customer service at the register was just whatever, but I don't come to this market expecting it to be stellar, so that doesn't bother me. The prices are great here, the selection of food items (in many different departments, not just the produce) is excellent and would come back to this location more often if I lived in the area.

    Well they have super long lines and no baggers. So the cashier has to bag and it can take so much…read moreextra time. Unless you the customer bags your own stuff. 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.

DD loves crispy rice and got the imitation crab salad with freshly sliced avocado on top. Loved it! Before we left for home, we made another stop here for their hot deli breakfast bar and coffee bar and more smoothies. Yes, yes, yes. My eggs, potatoes and bacon box was tastier and fresher then sit down restaurants. DD loved her croissant eggs and ham sandwich. My vanilla latte was bold and packed a punch. This second time around the smoothies were a bit on the sweeter side. Wish we had a location up North. Couldn't resist the tote in an ARMY green. Structured and well made in nylon with a firm base.

I wanted to try their tacos, rice, and beans which I did... very good by the way. Besides that, I so desired to seek out their ceviche selection which I did as well. I got to try 5 different ceviches... spicy fish, spicy shrimp, shrimp + avocado + mango (non-spicy), butterfly shrimp (aguachile), and spicy shrimp (aguachile rojo). They also have non-spicy fish and shrimp ceviches. Thanks Scott for the free samples! I loved the citrus taste of the spicy shrimp and shrimp + avocado + mango! I think they need to make a spicy version of the latter or combine it with spicy shrimp. Just my 2 cents! I ended up with about half a pound of each ceviche flavor. After taking my first bite, I said to myself, "I should have gotten 1 to 2 lbs of each instead especially when it was on sale for $9.99 per lb." I won't make that same mistake next time LOL. During my visit, I was very impressed with the different sections of the store starting with La Cocina a La Panadería (Bakery) a La Verdulería (Produce) a La Pescadería (Seafood (ceviches made fresh daily is here)) a La Cremeria (Dairy). They even have the guacamole and aguas frescas made to order stations. How cool is that! Store was bright and clean. Aisles were organized and well stocked. Mexican food and groceries selections are massive. Lots of the foods are freshly made in-house daily. Prices are very reasonable. They have inside and outside dining space for customers to sit and eat. Free parking is plenty. Staff was super friendly and nice. I will definitely be visiting Vallarta again soon!

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.
