The friendliest Trader Joes by far. Always the friendliest staff. As I was seating on the bench by the cashiers, I witnessed a lady drop and break a bottle of wine. Her cloth bag ripped. It was a mess! Poor thing, she was so embarrassed. TJs staff run to her rescued, cleaned up her mess very quickly, and none of them made her feel bad, they were very comforting and even gave her a new bottle of wine and a new bag. read more

I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's. This location had a huge selection of plants and perennials located right outside their entrance. Inside was a bit small and when it was crowded it was hard to move through the aisles. But the selection of food was good and my boyfriend was able to find some good local beers here. They also carry RXBAR which is a delicious energy bar made in Chicago and completely natural. Whole Foods, which is a few feet away from this location, ran out of RXBAR so we were glad Trader Joes had them in stock. This location has a parking lot so its not too difficult to find parking. Service in getting rung up by the cashier was a bit slow but she was friendly. read more

Trader Joe's: An International Experience Close to Home I first set foot inside a Trader Joe's back in 1995 at the Christown Mall. Since I lived in Europe for a number of years, I found the store to be a welcome break from the everyday eats and treats. Boy, was I in for a treat! I would say Trader Joe's has been my purveyor of choice for all things imported. It has been an amazing 23 years! In all these years, I only had to return about 4-5 items either because of unobserved damage or because I wasn't happy with the taste. They will readily accept the return even if all you have left is the packaging, as was the case with some thick sliced bacon that turned out to be more than 1/2 gristle. There is an amazing assortment of drinks at the Camelback store location, but this varies from store to store, as I found out when visiting an Ahwatukee store. The costs are much lower than other delis' when compared with the deli costs at Fry's, Costco, Sam's Club, Safeway, Wal-Mart, Basha's, but also AJ's. Simply put, no other store out there can match the variety of wines, drinks, cheeses, charcuterie, fresh flowers, or gourmet, ready-made salads. Thank you, Trader Joe's for a wonderful 23 years! read more

Trader Joe's has a customer for life! I ran into the store for a couple items and saw the most gorgeous peony's on display in the center of the store. I immediately saw an elderly woman smelling each bouquet and smiling to herself. When I approached the flower display, she asked me to smell the flowers and was filled with excitement about each flower. She raved about the colors and talked about the peony's she used to grow. She wanted to pick some out for me and explained about the bud and color and how long they will last. She kept taking a bouquet for herself and put it back a couple of times. She looked at the price and I could see she was trying to justify the cost ($7.99). Her husband saw the price and I could tell he wanted her to put them back. I asked their customer service if I could pay for her flowers, but she will need to pick them out (she knew her flowers!) they said to tell the cashier to charge me for another bouquet and they would let her know. I was so excited for her and when I told the cashier he said "oh that's so nice of you, but we will cover it for her." I was shocked and so pleased. No other place would do this, and it just shows what an amazing group of people they have there who truly care. Not to mention the most gorgeous flowers in AZ! read more

I can't imagine life without Trader Joe's! The yummy snacks and crackers are tops, with awesome floral offers and holiday boxes - this is our go to for nearly everything. We actually have a great diet that our nutritionist put together with 10 -12 200-300 calorie healthy meals that we follow when we want to lose weight! Everything we love and need is at Trader Joe's. read more

Like all Trader Joe's, this one has fresh produce, inexpensive flowers, lots of fun snacks and unique items, and an impressive wine selection! The customer service is friendly and quick. That being said, this store is always crowded and hard to get around in. The parking lot is a mess too. Pretty much any TJ's I've been to has been crowded though, because everyone wants to shop there! read more

Very Cool Trader Joe's... Shopping Center has great restaurants surrounding so... yeah, BONUS read more

Trader Joe's - If all I had left in the world was $10 I'm pretty sure I'd spend it on this Trader Joe's beauty xoxo smells like sweet summer... - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Of Sprouts, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, Trader Joe's is my favorite! This location always seems to be busy and the parking lot and area are a zoo, but the central location is convenient. This is my favorite place to get nice, inexpensive succulents, flowers, and plants (perfect gifts!). I also like their selection of quick frozen dinner items (turkey meatballs, veggies, risotto) and snacks (letter cookies and baked "cheetos". I am definitely a Trader Joe's sucker. Their organic prices are very competitive, too. read more

The store is fine. It's just another Trader Joe's. However we came for the first time in a really long time and were thinking about coming back for the meat quality. However the cashier we had was cheery and polite to the person in front and behind us. But for some reason he couldn't even crack a smile, say hello to us and looked down when talking. He only said the minimum amount possibly to us. Since we get better customer service at any other store we will be going there instead. Really sad because I came on a friend's recommendation. read more

My favorite grocery store. They carry a lot of unique foods you can't get at a Walmart or frys and their prices are reasonable. The meat prices are a little out of whack but you can get that from frys if you are feeling it. My favorite unique item they have here is the zucchini fries. Also, they have A LOT of wine to choose from. read more

You know, TJs reminds me of a mom and pop grocery store from the south where you're greeted by family each time you walk in. Everyone is always so personable and helpful (sort of like CFA) and it warms my heart. I love that I have access to healthier food options for very inexpensive prices. My fruits and veggies are always super fresh. I've often compared for example my Persian cucumbers from here versus another unnamed grocery store and let me tell you, the shelf life (or should I say refrigerator life) is much greater than where I'd purchase them from previously. And I'm talking by at least 5 days. My flowers are always so fresh and I have an array of options for such amazing prices. I love that there is no middle man! Trader Joe's brand is Trader Joe's and that's why they're able to sell for such low prices. Please never change TJs! You're protecting not only my pockets but also my health read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Trader Joe's has great quality food. Great prices. Had to help is really pretty positive and always helpful.

Serious mochi craving that wasn't quenched at AJ's, so, off to TJ's! They have an amazing produce section, with imported fruits you may not find at your regular grocery store. Cheeses from everywhere! I like the white cheese puffs, TJ's brand, to snack on. I also like that they have cookies from everywhere. I had a butter cookie craving along with the mochi craving and found everything here. Hummus? Arik would be happy to know there are several flavors to choose from. It smells like Nag Champa. Hippies man the cash registers. Paper bags! My cat loves playing in them. Many organic products to choose from, too. I feel good when I shop here. read more

I have nothin' to barter...nothin' to trade with ya' Joe, 'cept for my hard earned cash.... While usually finding everything I need between Phoenix Public Market and Sprouts, I stop in at ol' Joe's on occasion. It's always sooo crowded in here, filled with tons of LA Fitness goers, fresh from a workout. Grabbing a cart is usually a waste of time and an annoyance when trying to maneuver through the throngs of people milling about in each aisle, I opt for basket I can carry. The quality of their food here is awesome. Fresh vegetables, lovely meats and cheeses. Their hummus comes in every flavor from plain/original to guacamole (Yes, guacamole hummus!) and their tzaziki rocks, when I am not up to making my own. My favorite reason to go to Trader Joe's (other than their luscious mini peanut butter cups) is to pick up premade appetizers for gatherings, mini quiche, onion tarts, cocktail wieners in puffed pastry, meatballs. Hell...a few apps and a couple bottles of 2 Buck Chuck and I have a party! read more

I too, find Trader Joe's stifling and lacking at times. Well, most of the time. I really can't get everything I need here. And I have to navigate the sea of customers with such concentration it can become draining. But what I can get here, I like. Alot: *Dr. Bronner's washes - that big bottle for under $10 - waaay cheaper than most other places! *A bagged medley of colorful potatoes, perfect for roasting *Massive basil plants (in season) for under $5 *Bagged matchstick carrots (why are these so hard to find nowadays?!) *Whole wheat cous cous (not the easiest to come by!) 3.50 stars - no wait, make that 3.75 (upped for the friendly service). read more

I love TJ's and would only shop here if they carried everything I needed. This past Friday night I decided to do some shopping - found almost everything I needed, and was greeted by Amy at checkout. She's so sweet, humble, and down to earth and made the close of my shopping experience a 10/10! We need more "Amy's" at checkout!!! read more

-Good selection. -Convenient parking. -Friendly employees, helpful. -Unique food items. -Good prices, but it adds up if you're not careful. read more

If you have not been to Trader Joes then you are missing out. The reason why I say that is because everything at their store is awesome. First the employees are amazing. They are always asking you if you need help or just saying hi and welcome to Trader Joes. Second the store is not that big and you can be in & out of the store in 15 minutes. Last but not least the prices on everything in the store are excellent. So, if you are looking for a grocery store. You should totally go to Trader Joes. My favorites that I get at Trader Joes is the sugar free chocolate, hummus and the instant coffee. Happy Yelping. read more

Trader Joe's is the place to go if you want some radical eats! The workers go with da flo, and I really feel like I'm at the beach, even in the middle of Arizona! I bought three packs of seaweed, I really felt like I was one with the ocean! It was air conditioned, and it felt like the cool ocean breeze. 5/5 would cruise again! read more

Trader Joe's - three packs of seaweed was an oasis in the Arizona desert - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love Trader Joe's, thanks to my dad introducing me to it. And yesterday I introduced it to my husband. He whispered to me, "I don't like places like this." Hinting to me that it was "Ritzy", and I said "Don't think like that, anyone can shop at Trader Joe's. Their just organic food instead of cheap processed food." As soon as we stepped inside, the amazingly large variety of fresh cut flowers calmed my husband's nerves. They have a great selection of flowers and they are super cheap like $4.99 for a dozen of roses. I love their sushi, 8 pieces for $3, heck yeah! Now their meat and dairy areas are pricey, but hey they got lamb! They also have already made dinners too. My fav thing that I enjoy from Trader Joe's, and it keeps me coming back for more, is their frozen foods. Orange Chicken at $4.99 a bag, OH YEAH, all night long baby! They have a wonderful variety of frozen fruit, too. I did notice this time around prices are steeper and the bags are smaller for the frozen food. Not so good! Could you bring the prices down back to where they use to be, please? I will come back more often! Really I will! Always remember, samples are in the back. read more

I love getting my Pirate Booty from here (the puffs people) and the ready made pizzas, pretty much everything that they have ready made is really good. The store can get pretty crowded, especially during the dinner hour rush. Employees are friendly and I recommend you take advantage of the samples throughout the store. Come hungry! read more

The mission statement of Trader Joe's at one time (at least unofficially) was to bring good things to the lifestyles of schoolteachers. That is, to the lives of the educated, discerning yet underpaid. At TJ's you can get things like good table wines, Italian-made pasta, gourmet sauces, and interesting cheese at prices that allow the masses to see how the other half lives. And that's why I've loved the place. It pains me sometimes to think that it's kinda been painted with a wide "health food grocery" brush. In another review I'll go into just WHY I don't want honorable, egalitarian spirit of TJ's corrupted by elitist sneer of effete health-nuts. So yes, I am a fan. I've always gotten a fair deal at TJ's even back when I was struggling to make rent on my studio apartment. I felt they were in my corner, and I still do today. Even though I could easily be an elitist, effete health-nut. read more

Love trader joes! I love their cheese selection. The only issue with this location is that parking sucks -- especially in the afternoon 4-6. But other than that I love that they have orchids that are only $12.99 -- so beautiful. Same ones sold in other grocery stores but for cheaper! read more

Post sweat session at the LA Fitness next door, this Trader Joe's just starts calling my name, tempting me to stroll through the aisles and pick up some scrumptious yet healthy treats. I almost always give in, and I never regret my choice. Safeway may have those name brand products that TJ's just hasn't quite replicated yet, but I still enjoy going to TJ's more because of their variety and fresh spin on easy to prepare meals. It's a huge plus that they are so affordable, I never feel ripped off by their prices. Their frozen seafood section is AWESOME! Frozen bags of sea creatures (huge scallops, shrimp, langosta tails) at half the price of Safeway? I'm soooo in! The seasoned frozen ahi tuna & salmon fillets are ridiculously flavorful, juicy and high quality. Their snack section is also so much fun to peruse through. There's always some new dip or chip to try out. And I love how they have a sample station & wine tastings too! My Horse Dog adores their peanut butter dog treats. I highly recommend these for other doggie owners as they are decently nutritious and inexpensive. The bottom line - their employee's are just so friendly and always cognizant of check-out line lengths & open up more registers instantly if lines get to long. Keep up the good work TJ's, you make grocery shopping fun (which is hard to do in my book). read more

I've always been a big fan of TJ's and I really enjoy this particular location. They do tastings of wines and treats quite frequently and they always have fresh coffee out. I look forward to getting the "Fearless Flyer" in the mail so I can see what new goods they are carrying each week. They have some great seasonings and spices that you can't find in any other stores. I also love the fact that the servings sizes are always small, so it works perfectly for single gals or couples. Their produce section can be lacking variety, but whatever they carry is always fresh and in season. They also carry gorgeous flower arrangements cheaper than most other stores in the valley. I can't do all my shopping here due to the lack of toiletries and cleaning products, but if I am looking strictly for week night meals this is the perfect place. read more

Jason- the guy with the red bear IS THE BEST TRADER JOES EMPLOYEE EVER. He made me want to buy all my groceries at Trader Joes. This man is absolutely setting a standard if customer service read more

Trader Joe's is a constant winner in a sea of shady grocery stores. This Trader Joe's location is tucked away in the Town & Country shopping plaza located in Central Phoenix. The parking lot is pretty action packed, as the parking lot is used for people going to the next door gym. The thing I love about Trader Joe's is the great selection and quality of the food. I'm not sure who is in charge of determining the price of the items there, but I would like to by him/her a beer from the Roosevelt. The store is always very clean and bright, and the employees are really great, and treat customers well, and I have seen some really cool exchanges between regulars and employees- it's that kind of place. I've also noticed the same people shopping there, so there are definitely regulars here. This store is basically perfect, and could only get better if they sold something to help me with my game, because this store is packed with beautiful women, so help me out Trader Joe's and work on that. read more

First of all, everyone shopping here needs to slow their roll. Okay. You are groovy and 'green'. You buy Jicama milkshakes and no-pesticide turnips. Your NHW20 Hybrid Prius awaits your herbal carriage and will rip you home to your grass and mud 15 story energy insulated highrise hut at a full 110 horsepower; "We can do it" Rosie the Riveter tats blazing with your arms out the open windows to conserve the 1,986/miles per gallon gas tank . So turn it down a molecule, Janis Joplin. So, now that my little beef (erm, pardon the pun) is outta the way, I must say that I very much enjoy the inventory of TJ's. First and foremost, I never leave here without restocking the $3 buck Chuck - Shiraz and Cab for mid-week meals when you don't feel like busting out the $15-$25 dollar vino. The rest of the wine selection is surprisingly so-so and seems to have faltered in the last few years. A once proud beer selection (and they allow you to mix-n-match sixers) has also decreased in quality, though they DO stock a nifty amount of Oak Creek Brews, which any proud Arizonan will stock up on without nary a glance at the Guinness or what have you. The produce is not as expensive as the organic section of Safeway, so its a good place to stock up on a few extra 'healthier' (*cough*) veggies (my fiancee thinks so, anyway) at no extra charge. Their meat selection is pretty decent for a store whose clientele are poster-children for the PETA Militia. TJ's is a nice place to supplement you grocery stash, but I just don't think I could do 100% of my shopping here -- and this from someone who eats-in very healthily about 95% of the week. We have staples here that we almost always pick up -- that wine I mentioned before, edamame, veggies, a variety of fish, beer, and a couple of snacks like popcorn or cookies -- but that's primarily it for TJ's. My fiancee likes the plant/flower selection too, and I suspect that any female would, especially if she wears a cute lilac bandana, wears overalls to paint, and says stuff like "eww meat". read more

Since the positives outweigh the negatives by a considerable amount, I'll get it out of the way and say that if Trader Joe's had a more extensive meat department it would be a one-stop-shop for me. The store brand quality never disappoints, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and prices are very affordable. That you're greeted by their beautiful selection of flowers, herbs, and other types of foliage and later welcomed to try one of their delicious concoctions cooking in the back is just icing on this mindful preparation of grocery and household offerings. The store is always clean and while it's usually crowded at the times I visit, I'm rarely bothered. A friendly place like Trader Joe's seems to attract friendly patrons. If my bright blue insulated tote happens to bump into your bright blue insulated tote while I'm deliberating over the vast cheese or nuts selections, we'll probably exchange smiles instead of middle fingers. The folks who work here are approachable and extremely helpful. While I don't regularly drink wine, I find it a nice touch that a personable sommelier is available in the event I need a crash course on pairing and someone can recommend a high fiber cereal. Some of my favorite products: -Salsa Authentica -Cowboy Cavier -Vegan trail mix cookies -All-in-one facial cleanser -Cruciferous crunch -Coconut cashews -TJ's brand almond milk -Spinach and fontina chicken sausage -Spicy peanut vinaigrette -Roasted red pepper soup read more

They just have the nicest staff of any grocery store I've ever been to. Always kind, and helpful, and smiling. It's pretty darn pleasant. I've memorized the entire store of course. They do bring seasonal items, which are a delight to the seasoned trader joe people like myself. For you veggie people out there : Great prices on non-dairy milks, also offer delicious vanilla soy ice-cream, gluten free chocolate cupcakes, gf tortillas & bread, earth balance, a super spinach salad (in cold case), and GF minestrone soup (seasonal but there now and soooo good!). Enjoy. read more

As a vegetarian and sporadic health nut, I just love TJ's. They have a nice array of inexpensive fresh produce, including my beloved broccolini, for 40% of what Safeway charges. Huge selection of frozen veggie-friendly dinners, good for my on-the-go household. Greek yogurt, cheap. Nice beer selection with lots of cheapo wine. I try to buy all my supplements here too, as they seem to be a lot less expensive. Yes, I'm all about saving cash on groceries and whatnot. The downside? It's not one-stop-shopping; a trip always requires supplementation with another trip to a "regular" grocery store. This particular TJ's is teeny-tiny-small, and always chock-full of obnoxious and/or oblivious people who wield carts like weapons. My favorite is the woman who thinks it's an awesome time to teach little Jimmy how to push his own wee cart and comparison shop, and lets the little bastard cruise all over the store willy-nilly. I'm all for giving your kid responsibility, but a) you still have to, you know, keep an eye on the kid and b) a super-crowded claustrophobic nightmare like this place after work is not, repeat, NOT the time to do so. read more

Everyone loves Trader Joe's. And if you don't, there is something wrong with you. How a larger chain grocery store manages to keep a local vibe is beyond me. Good for you TJ. I was especially excited for my move to AZ knowing there's a Trader Joe's there. Utah doesn't carry them but from what I hear, that's about to change. Now, I am 5 minutes from TJ and I love it. The produce is always fresh and holy CHEAP! Asian Pears for 99 cents a piece?! I'll take a whole cartload please. I can't believe how amazing the produce quality is along with the amazing prices. Two Asian Pears at Whole Foods would have cost me my first born and my left foot. What I love more than anything about Trader Joe's is that they carry things you would never ever ever find at an ordinary grocery store. I HATE shopping at Fry's or anywhere comparable to Fry's because... "Why?..." I think to myself. The quality of selection, produce, price point and lets mention their ALWAYS upbeat employees puts Trader Joe's at the top of my list. I heart you Trader Joe's and I'm glad you're right up the street from me. read more

This store gives me a nice and warm feeling. The feeling that I didn't and won't have with Walmart Market. Trader Joe's has a lot of eye-catching snacks and healthy food. Therefore, I have no idea which items I should buy. If I can, I want to try everything. Absolutely, comeback read more

Trader Joe's - I recommend it. Reasonable price and delicate flavor. - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Like another Yelper said, "a Trader Joe's is a Trader Joe's", however this location is a little on the dark side and laid out kinda funky. Instead of walking into the produce department right when you walk in the door, BAM! You walk into a display of some sort or someone handling out samples. Produce is just a quick turn to the right. I wasn't looking for really anything in particular, just a cold drink and a snack. Cold drinks? Where are the freaking cold drinks? I asked one of the employees (crew members?) and he told me they had water in produce. Meh...not really what I wanted but I got a water anyway. Grabbed some pita chips and the olive hummus and I was good to go. (The hummus was awesome, btw.) I came in on a weekday, mid-morning, so check out was pretty quick. There were a lot of people working, not a lot of people shopping. read more

Oh Trader Joe's, you make me feel like a better person than I actually am. Thanks for the big organic selection. Thanks for making those chopped salads and hummus flavors in the refrigerated section taste so damn good. And for carrying delicious swiss dark chocolate with 30% whole hazelnuts. And for carrying weird crap like Mochi and real cornichons and tangerine juice. You're the best. :) read more

Always nice visiting a trader joes no matter what state or city you find yourself, nice workers ready to answer questions. Stores are always clean and spacious. Picked up a Arizona grocery bag for $1, value! Got a few snacks and crackers for my ride home. read more

TJ's is just ok. I'm not entirely sure what people get so worked up about, its a grocery store. I went here last night with list in hand intent on doing my whole weeks worth of shopping here (I generally shop Target for non perishables and household items & Sprouts for all produce, meats things like that) The hubs and I are starting a 7 Day Detox diet and I needed to buy mass amounts of organic products, I knew TJ's would be the place for this so off I went. I was able to purchase most of what I needed, but will have to go to another store for the 5 lingering items on my list, so that's kind of annoying. Things that turned me off and kept me from giving 4 stars: -An employing addressed me as a SIR!!!!! I was wearing a freaken dress with tights and pearls for F's sake, not to mention I hardly look like a man. -I was standing in line when a cashier approached me and asked if I would like to go over to his line, sure I said....He then looked and acted highly annoyed as he rang up my very full cart. Like throwing my items across the counter. I started bagging my stuff up just to get out of there quicker and save him from having a melt down. -The parking lot is dark as hell. I had the closest spot to the store and could barely see to get my keys in the door! Its super scary and unsafe feeling. read more

This TJs location seems bigger/better than others. The layout of the store is wider and seems as though it has more inventory. I did try a new Grab-n-Go salad the other day and am hooked! Try the Spicy Lemon Chicken w/Morrocan couscous. Believe there was some quinoa in there also for more substance and protein. :) Friendly associates and unique/healthy food are always comforting to me. I still don't know why they ring that bell. Anyone? Is it a congratulatory jingle for bringing in your own bags bc your eco-friendly? Is it because you were the 100th customer and get some sort of prize? Maybe next time, I should ask. read more

Trader Joe's is great, because it's really affordable. They make a lot of their own products, which are always fantastic. I have two issues with TJ's: 1) You can't go there looking for something specific, because they may not have it 2) Their produce is very often wack! I went looking to buy a zucchini once, and I had the option of buying 7 zucchini that were pre-wrapped, or a bag of baby zucchini. ??? That said, they have great (cheap!) wine selection, lots of fun prepacked meals to try, interesting vegetarian products (Trader Joe's chickenless chicken nuggets, anyone?), and lots of cheese. I go to Trader Joe's about once a month to stock up on wine, or if I'm bored and looking for some new ideas. Oh, the staff are all really friendly, too. At least, my cashier was. read more
