Tader Joe's is awesome! This location is very clean and well organized. They have a great selection of specialty items, and some of their own brand items that I make special trips for. Great selection of wines, cheeses, and fruit. I love that they carry fresh lychees! The employees have always been friendly! Great place! read more

I'm a huge Trader Joe's fan. This store in Chandler, like any store never fails to impress me on their healthy gourmet selections at a good price. I like their potato chips, chocolate and frozen entre selections. No need for me to go out for lunch when I can get their salads and sandwiches. read more

Last night my wife received very tragic news and the staff went out of their way to comfort her. I want to give my deepest gratitude for them. We've been longtime customers and the way we're always treated with loving kindness keeps us coming back and always happy to shop and sometimes leave with a plant Last nights act of sincerity was beyond amazing. Thank you so so much, you will always be in our hearts! read more

Been going to this Trader Joe's for a while now, but wanted to post a review and comment on how awesome Dom is. He's friendly, caring and goes the extra mile. Even with a mask on, I can tell he's smiling. He took the time to gently bag groceries, gave some coaching to my son on the best way to stack delicate foods and was overall very friendly, as he is every time we see him. He makes our Trader Joe's experience! read more

I usually like going into this store, but I walked in and there was country music playing. I am not a Caucasian and feel that music is excludes and does not make me feel welcome in this store. If I wanted to here country music I would have moved to the south. Trader Joe's play music for all of US. Not just one race! read more

I LOVE Trader Joe's!!!! They have the most unique and amazing frozen food section a wide array of international foods as well as what we would consider American style. They also have an excellent cheese section if you're looking to host a party and you're wanting some different and delicious unique cheese check it out! read more

My go to is the Ahwatukee store! Great employees who are genuinely so helpful and care for your needs. My thanks to all! Dre is the best!

The chicken salad here is sooooooo good. Big thick chunks of juicy chicken, lightly seasoned and creamy. Yum. I don't grocery shop here because of the prices, this place is more like a novelty store to me. So many delicious treats and snacks to try that it's always an exciting trip to Trader Joes. read more

This is a little smaller Trader Joes than what one might be used to coming from the Midwest. This particular has a good layout with everything in a logical place. The wine selection is really good, it takes up about 35% of the store, no joke. You can easily find a good range of wines, both variety and pricewise. I was looking for some cheeses to entertaining and their private label selection did not disappoint. Not only did I find a nice Camenbert, I also walked away with a fondue mix to use at our friend's house next weekend. A surprising selection of cheeses for a store this small. The guy at the check-out was awesome, and the guy working the floor seemed to know where everything was. Clean store, friendly, and accommodating! read more

A handful of staff have attitude problems here. Consistently. I'm not sure what makes most of them bitter Bettys, but I thought this store was supposed to be known for its friendly service. The darker complected man, and the Australian woman in particular can especially work on their people skills. I've started going out of my way to the TJ's on mcclintock instead. read more

Trader Joes is Trader Joes unless you encounter one where the employees are rude...then it is no longer the Trader Joes I know. I moved to Ahwatukee two months ago and was so excited to learn TJs was a mile from my apartment. On my first trip I met Kristen (who is the only redeeming employee there). After waiting in line to pay for my groceries, the cashier didn't even acknowledge me. I questioned the price of an item and he acted like I had offended him by asking. After paying he didn't say thanks or F U or anything. Next visit I found a different cashier. The items weren't showing up on the screen as he scanned them. I asked him about that, and he said: "oh my register needs to be rebooted." Really? He couldn't have done that in between customers? Yesterday I was there and a cashier was talking to another employee who was eating an apple. I asked him if his line was open and he said: "yes, as soon as I'm done with this conversation." So I got into another line and waited and waited. He finally finished his conversation and yelled over to me: "you can come in my line if you want to." I found the store manager and told him his staff was rude and that shopping there was unpleasant. I said other TJs I had been in had happy/friendly staff, but this store did not. His comment? "I'm sorry you feel that way." I told him it would be worth a longer drive to find more pleasant staff and I got the same reply. I'm pretty done with the Ahwatukee Trader Joes. read more

Clean store. Friendly & helpful staff. I'm generally in and out really quickly too. What I didn't expect was that they would have such great prices on certain items--cheaper than the big supermarkets. Trader Joe's doesn't have a large enough selection to be my one-stop shopping destination, but I'm a huge fan and a regular shopper for some things. I love that I have such a nice one nearby. read more

Honestly, this seems to be a dumb thing to complain about, but the layout of this store is just bizarre. I felt so disoriented, I couldn't find what I wanted, and left quickly. Why is it so different from other Trader Joe's stores I have been to? Everything seemed clean and neat and everyone working there was friendly. It would just take some getting used to for me to shop there. read more

Our gem of a grocery store in Ahwatukee where employees know your name and recognize your kids. It is always fun looking for seasonal treats, and Halloween time is around the corner: pumpkin cereal, cake mix, cookies, etc. I cant think of a single reason to give this store anything less than 5 stars. read more

Trader Joe's - Check out counters - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Trader Joe's gets a visit from me at least weekly, if not twice a week. I don't even check in here as often as I actually visit because I know everyone would think I was insane. I won't tell you my favorite products because then they will be out of stock when I visit and then I will have to come back yet another time. However, here are a few tips for your TJ virgins or regulars who may have missed them: 1.) Fresh cut flowers here are gorgeous and generally run between $3.99 and $9.99 a bunch. Ladies, treat yourself to a bunch of flowers. Gentlemen, treat your Ladies. For under $10 you can brighten someone's day (even your own). 2.) When the Fearless Flyer makes it way into your mailbox, the store is likely sampling many of those products (if not all) that week. So, if you've been dying to try something, but couldn't commit without tasting it first... there's your chance to try before you buy! 3.) If something LOOKS like your favorite overpriced brand and the ingredient list is the same or nearly identical, it is more than likely the same thing. TJs doesn't make ANYTHING themselves. They have agreements with many different vendors to get you the products you love, often at a reduced price. Of course, they are branded differently because who would want you to know they were selling the same product at Whole Foods for 40% more?! I have been going to Trader Joe's since the late 80s when I lived in South Pasadena. Do they have everything? No. In fact, it drives me mad that they do not have marshmallows because when I make rice krispy treats (with all TJ brand products) I have to stop into Safeway. However, they have a lot of GREAT products at good prices. The employees are always friendly (and, surprisingly great baggers). My DD loves TJ because if she finds one of the bunnies hidden in the store (and, currently, the Golden Egg), she gets to pick out a treat on our way out. She also loves the picture cutouts they have at their entrance and often forces me to take her picture before she will go inside. The little things are what count! I love you Trader Joe's. read more

My good friend works for a major grocery store chain. When she found out I started going to Trader Joe's, I became "Traitor Stacy." That's okay, I can own it. I love Trader Joe's! I'll let a few of my favorite products speak for themselves . . . -Inside Out Carrot Cake Cookies - soft & creamy, best cookie ever -Thai Style Lime Rice - perfect with some grilled fish -Greek Style Non Fat Honey Yogurt -Carne Asada -Frozen Brown and Jasmine Rice (microwave for 3 minutes = perfect rice) -Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas -Dark Chocolate Toffee Espresso Bits - just a few after lunch for a great sweet treat -Oatmeal Lavender Bar Soap -Low Sodium Roasted Red Pepper Soup -Frozen Shrimp with the tails-off (good freezer staple) -Ready to eat beets (not in a can) -cheese selecion Friendly staff, inexpensive wine, fresh flowers and herbs, overall a great place to grocery shop! read more

I stopped by Trader Joe's today and purchased this loaf of bread and a few other items. Despite the sell by date being 5 days away, the bread is already moldy. I almost ate this. read more

We love Trader Joe's. In fact, when my husband and I moved from California and we were deciding where to go, my qualifications were that it had to be a place that had a Trader Joe's and the Food Network. Back then in 2001 Ahwatukee didn't have a Trader Joe's and I had to drive to the one on Guadalupe and McClintock, but that was good enough for me, but Trader Joe's must have felt the love, because they came to me. The toddler and I probably go to Trader Joe's at least three times a week. Me for the odd fruit, cheese or wine, him for the tiny shopping carts and samples. We all have our vices. We seem to know nearly everyone in there now and the toddler gets a balloon every time (of which the cat eats the string off of every night then regurgitates - but that's another story - the fun never ends). We love you Trader Joe's. We love your tiny shopping carts, your "na-na's", your samples and your balloons. We love everything about you. read more

Simply the BEST Trader Joe's in the greater Phoenix area! The very best people work here. They always have what I'm looking for and the atmosphere in the store is incredible! read more

Posting here because we got a brined Turkey from TJ for 2011 Turkey Day. We didn't have the quill issue and actually everyone thought it was delicious. So I would get a turkey there again. I like TJ's. I just never really head down there. It's kind of a a specialty shop so it's hard for me to go there and get all my groceries. They are always missing something a more general grocery would naturally have. The staff is always very nice and the store is pretty cool and they always have nice plants when you walk in. read more

Trader Joe's ... the hippy place. hehe Actually, the hippies have it right. It's an excellent grocery store. It's my wife's "Happy Place"...which means I go there :) They even have free samples! We moved away from the valley for a couple years and she made me drive an hour and a half (one way) to go to a Trader Joe's so she could stock up! Their plants are very nice...we have like 800 orchids all over the house (she can't resist getting at least one every time we go). read more

I'd hate to think I've just had a taste of blatant racism in Ahwatukee, a place that I've come to adore over the past two years, but I suppose that's the only way I can understand this. I came to Trader Joes at 6:00 pm to grab some soaps that my coworker recommended to me for my sensitive skin. I found what I wanted quickly and got into a long line. With my one item I stood in line. After a moment of being in line a woman on the phone pulled her cart up to the line that I was in. As my cashier finished up with his last customer two people came over and pulled his drawer. I stepped up and he told me,"Just a moment." I waited patiently until he got his new door in to place. Once he finished that he began pulling items from the other woman's cart as she spoke on the phone. I stared at him confused and he stared back at me as he piled her cart on the counter. There's no way he forgot me that quickly. Maybe he didn't like the way I looked. Maybe somehow he thought that the woman who was behind me in line was ahead of me. Disappointing first and last experience. read more

It warms my heart to see all the Trader Joe's locations receiving favorable reviews. This is the closet one to my home, so this is where I love to do most of my grocery shopping. If I had to find fault in Trader Joe's, I would find it in the meat selection. For the vegetarians and vegans among us, this is obviously not an issue. I, however, find myself at the Safeway in the same strip-mall in search of ground turkey or salmon. Other than that, TJ's is my favorite place to find inexpensive, healthy groceries. The inner-anarchist activist in me loves that the store feels like a large co-op. My inner-capitalist pig loves that it is not. At any rate, I am a big fan of the store brand which means (from my perspective, at least) great, cheap food. I'm also into some of the wines there that can be had for as little as three dollars a bottle. Good stuff! read more

Great place to get food if you don't feel like having to pick between 5 different brands of the same stuff like in regular grocery stores. They pick the best stuff and offer it to their customers. This is the only place where I buy stuff based on their samples. Some items which are unusual but very welcome are things like frozen mashed potatoes. The convenience of flake potatoes with the taste of real potatoes. The only thing that annoys me about this store is the children carts. There are kids that push them in circles or other random patterns and when the store is full of patrons it's almost impossible to navigate. read more

This TJ is right by my work, so it's usually my pit stop for $3 Chuck or flowers for a dinner party or making food at home. Just last week, I stopped there before my mom's birthday dinner and picked up a small pot of roses, then went right next door to Wine Rack, where i picked up a bottle. i was on my way in less than 20 minutes- sa-weet. read more

The only place I shop. Everyone is so sweet and kind and it's easy, delicious dinners for a single mom like myself

Trader Joe's in Ahwatukee is fantastic. The staff there are very nice. The parking is easy and, as with any Trader Joe's, they have the most unique and scrumptious food items. This is a great location. read more

Love to go to Trader Joe's in Mesa. The staff are helpful and the quality can't be beat.

I absolutely love Trader Joe's!! Such a tiny store with so much to offer! Granted, I couldn't make all my grocery shopping here but I definitely buy many of the items on my list. Their produce is pretty good, they have a Brioche bread loaf that is amazing for French toast, the pies, cookies and scones are delicious, wine selection is good, beautiful flowers. One of my favorite products are they frozen meals. The Gorgonzola gnocchi is fantastic!!!! The staff is courteous and helpful, if there's something you want to taste, they'll open it for you. That's how I found my chocolate and sea salt covered almonds addiction:) While they can get very busy at times, I never had a long wait at the registers. Now, I do have one problem. I have bought some of the sliced cheeses and while the expiration date is months away, they get moldy a week after opening them. That never happened to me before when buying cheese from other stores. Another time I bought cheese curds and they were already moldy! I know I could have returned them, but didn't had the time. I love the store too much to take even half a star from them, so I'll just buy cheese somewhere else. read more

I have been a patron of Trader Joe's since the early 90s and I just can't get enough (Depeche Mode playing in background). I'm not a huge fan of eating frozen food but Trader Joe's provides some of the best options available. I love their wine selection and you really can't beat two Buck Chuck but should really be called three Buck Chuck. They also have great juices. I prefer the one hundred percent cranberry over other cranberry juices because I can can mix with other juices how I like. Trader Joe's also has a great selection of produce that while most of it is prepackaged is still quite good quality. Prepackaged and good-quality can seems like an oxymoron but I'm sure you understand. The health and beauty section is very small it is chock-full of good options such as Tom's deodorant. They got rid of the lavender oil but they still have the lavender soap which is an absolute favorite mine! read more

Trader Joe's how I love you so. When I see you I feel at home. All your organic food and flowers are dope. When I walk in you draw me in like the dark hole. I wonder and wonder around like a lost soul coming home. Trader Joe's how I love you so. read more

Trader Joe's in Ahwatukee is a small, cozy market filled with organic produce and other healthy fare. Love their Trader Joe Nourish line of shampoo and conditioner, and their oils. Their shampoo and conditioner is surprisingly affordable and very efficient. Recently found out their avocado oil is only available on a seasonal basis, from October-March, which was disappointing. Definitely appreciate them moving out here after years of driving to Tempe to shop. The cashiers are very helpful and courteous but the selection of everything is limited. Would like to see them expand the size of the store. Like their free old-school newsletter they mail out to our neighborhood-very quaint style reminiscent of the newspapers in the early 1900s. No problem recommending them to others in the community. read more

I love this TJ's. It's a great place to stop and pick up an nice bottle of inexpensive wine, or some kind of tasty treat to take to my parents house. I love the selection of unique items here. The samples are pretty good too, and they usually convince me to buy something new. I like to poke through the cheese selection and find something new to nibble on, or pick up some fresh bread. I also like the fact that they often have great prices on much smaller sizes of items - I don't have the room in my fridge or my tummy for the bulk sizes that many other stores offer. read more

Trader Joe's is legit in every since of the word. Go here, get some stuff, be happy. *TIP: my go-to place for flowers on mother's day or when I screw up with the lady friend...nice selection and inexpensive! read more

A++ CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Brent and Michael are the real MVPs! I came to this location and rolled up to the checkout with a fully crammed overflowing cartload of food for my entire family...safe to say I caused some attention! At the register I was even told they'd never seen one so big (that's what she said!) Brent was extremely friendly and made light hearted jokes with me and did not once come off as annoyed, irritated, or overwhelmed in ANY way (even though I know he had to have been screaming internally...as any normal person would!) Brent took most of the brunt of the load and scanned almost every item before Michael was able to get away from his own position and pop over to help him bag everything. These guys are a shining example of Trader Joe's customer service!!! Very patient and very friendly!! As a server myself I know how important it is to be chipper and pleasant to your customers and not have them come across as an inconvenience in any way and these guys NAILED it without coming across as fake or passive aggressive at all (which unfortunately happens often in customer service) THEY ARE TRUE GEMS!!! Thank you for putting my guilt ridden anxiety at ease...I will never stop commending you guys or this location!!!!!!!!!!! read more
