A solid Trader Joe's in my book. It has a big parking lot and plenty of items to choose from. Employees are also nice and welcoming to customers. No complaints and will be back for more items. read more

Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's. How I love thee Trader Joe's. I have to say Garden Home is my hands down favorite TJ's location. I have three that are so about equidistant from me, so GH is my choice. They always have the best floral selection and it's always fresh and I can count on that! They also have such an open store. It feels larger in the aisles, etc. The employees at this location also get my vote for happiest staff. They generally all wear smiles and are helpful. I love love love this Trader Joe's!!! read more

This is a really lovely Trader Joe's. They have a large parking lot which is a huge benefit for this brand which is kind of known for the opposite. The store is large, clean, and employees really live up to their reputation for being friendly. They have two all-gender restrooms in the back of the store. Products are standard for any Trader Joe's location. Layout changes from store to store but once you're familiar enough with their style, I feel like you can find what you need. Or ask their plentiful and outgoing staff. I am not in this area often but I'd definitely return to this store when I am. read more

This location always stands out in terms of presentation and customer service. This review is specifically for Martha! Thank you so much for your prompt action and care for your customers. She helped quickly resolve an issue and provided clarity on a question. She did it all with kindness and grace. Thank you! read more

We shop regularly at TJ`s and I make my weekly or biweekly gricery trips to this Trader Joe's because of the super conveniant location and save driving all the way to Beaverton. The store is spacious, very neatly organized and well stocked , although there have been times when I couldn't find a few of my staples . After multiple visits I believe that they don't store them and that's one of the minor inconvenience with this new location. The produce is fresh and there are plenty of options both in the frozen section and the dry goods. Staff are friendly and always go over and beyond .Surprisingly , unlike the Trader joe`s stereotype this particular location also has a huge parking lot. read more

Another Trader Joe's in the Portland area. By last count this is number 9, all wishing 8-20 minutes of my house. Crazy! And lucky. I know people who make monthly 2 hour trips to their closest TJs. Since they just opened, everything is new and shiny! I like that they build a very roomy, covered entry area where you can grab your cart or basket. Inside has a unique set up and I'm not sure I'm a fan. When you enter you are in the produce area and fresh flower area. The aisles are set up horizontal, rather than vertical. With a vertical plan you immediately have access to the aisle you need and can see everything laid out in front of you. With a Horizontal layout, the aisles are blocked from view so you have to walk to the right and then go up and down every aisle. The food placement is also more random than other locations, and Traders is known for random! Yes, we are all used to grabbing our favorite candy and cookies from a shelf over the open freezer section but this freezer area is in the same aisle as the healthy, beauty and cleaning products. The beer and wine section is the smallest I've ever seen but they had my fave everyday drinking wines - MoonX and Cocobon red blends - so I'm cool with that. Unusual for a Traders, and a huge plus, is their parking lot. Lots of parking spaces and easy to drive up and down the rows. When I heard about this new location I thought it would become my regular TJs but the NE Hollywood location is still my fave. Huge footprint, great layout and near my gym so I'm in that area 6 days a week. If I'm in this part of town, I'll stop in but won't be making a special trip. That being said, for those who live and or work in Garden Home, I'm thrilled that you now have a neighborhood Trader Joe's! read more

I stopped in to grab a beverage on my way to see a street concert. The store is clean, well-lit, and roomy. They were playing hip hop music over the PA with completely inappropriate lyrics for a supermarket full of families with children, which was very off-putting. Prices are high, quality of their house-branded items seem to be pretty bad, and I just don't get the fanaticism for this place. Service was friendly and ample, enabling me to purchase my items very quickly without a long wait in line. The parking lot is VERY tight, and the shopping center in which Trader Joes is located was extremely busy on my visit. It literally took three minutes for pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic to sufficiently clear to enable me to back my car our of its parking space. read more

It's nice to have a Trader Joe's in the Garden Home area. They took over and remodeled part of the defunct Lamb's Thriftway that use to be there. A plus with this location is their ample parking spaces. Their layout is a bit different from other TJ locations. You'll catch the floral department and Customer Service as you come in. It is spacious, but will need some getting used to if you're used to their other floor plan. They carry a wide selection of items you'll find at other locations. Customer service isn't as warm nor friendly as the Beaverton or Lake Oswego store. Thus the 4 stars. I'm sure this will improve in the near future. read more

I don't really understand the TJ obsession... it's okay. The produce section is pretty small and the food items I purchased were nothing outstanding. Frozen tortellini was okay, a bit chewy (I make tortellini often enough to know it was the pasta, not the way I cooked it). The bagels were downright bad, very doughy with not much flavor, I definitely would not get those again. Some prices are good, some are much higher than I expected. I couldn't make out any rhyme or reason to the locations of foods and there is very little in the way of directional signage so unless you're a regular shopper, finding something specific will not be a quick trip. There are unusual snacks and frozen foods but this is more of a "I'm having a very specific craving", "I need something for a white elephant gift", or a "let's go buy random trendy frozen food" shopping trip. I still had to find a more mainstream grocery store for actual day-to-day food. The checkouts are set up with very tiny counters so if you're doing a big trip it gets awkward handing each item to the cashier and keeping things that were already scanned separate from things that were not scanned yet. It isn't bad, I guess I am just not their target market. read more

Yay! I'm the first to review this location that just opened up a few days ago! This appears to be a bigger than average TJ, not as far as more products, but more space. It didn't take up the entire space of the old Thriftway, not sure what they're doing with the remaining space. But definitely this is a more spacious than average TJ, and I'm very lucky to be in between this one & the Lake Oswego location, both are so close in opposite directions. Of course it's extra super clean being it's so new. All TJ's are clean, but this one just sparkles! I look forward to the wall art, that's not there yet and is part of what makes TJ so charming. Please note that the greeting cards are not at customer service like they are at every other store, they're across the way in produce on a stand. There isn't much to say other than it's the same winning formula as all TJ locations. Great products, good prices, friendly employees. However, I will take a moment to say that my previous TJ reviews were removed twice before. One was for a different location (4 star) and one was for their corporate office (3 star). Yelps reasoning was that it wasn't a personal experience. I posted tons of recent receipts showing I was there, and they still removed the 2nd one too. I won't go into detail to not risk my review being removed again, feeling CENSORED is awful, so I will just say it had to do with how I felt the corporate office handled the pandemic in relation to other grocers, I mean, that does impact both employees and customers, I saw it with my own 2 eyes. The local employees, however, are amazing at every store. Hopefully I don't get needlessly flagged by the TJ Yelp police.....again :/ read more

I live near this Trader Joe's, and I'm so happy that my neighborhood has a convenient place to shop at once again - the space previously was Garden Home Thriftway and the space was empty for a couple of years, so my neighbors, and I are so thrilled TJ's is in our community. This TJ's is like all the other ones I've shopped at: friendly, welcoming, professional, well stocked with healthy and delicious food and with fair prices, too. read more

Trader Joe's - Shopping. - Grocery Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Everything! They are kind, helpful and informative. There is a wide selection of interesting, yummy items that can't be found anywhere else

A company that supports their employees will always be the place I choose to shop. Today I got word that when an employee was sick management took over a care package, soup, bread, medicine, water, Gatorade, his eyes watered when he spoke of their kindness, and how he felt like they were family. My goodness... yup. Take all of my money! Also this store is always clean, friendly staff, has a great selection, and the plant babies seem the healthiest, maybe they can feel the good energy of the store I know I sure can! Keep up the good work and I'll see you tomorrow. read more

Great location (1st time in)! My wife and I usually shop at a different trader Joe's closer to our house. We pass this one frequently and have always wanted to stop in. It's very nicely laid out, very clean and the customer service is excellent! Check it out. read more

When I was shopping for a home in the area, I always made sure to check how far a potential home was from a Trader Joe's - I love this store. I was thrilled that there were two! about the same distance away from my new place that I could choose from. But then this one in Garden Home opened and it quickly became my favorite. It's spacious inside and in the parking lot. The layout is different but not awful. The employees are nice, the prices are as expected. Don't forget to check out their new product shelf, there's always something new to try! read more

This TJs is so nice. It's been opened for not too long so everything still looks new. All employees are pleasant and cashiers move super fast. read more

When Yelp asks for a review of a store almost everyone (that I know of) likes, I wonder what to say that hasn't been said . I like the freezer section of all kinds delicious sounding entrees, vegetable dishes and desserts! I have tried a small number of these but I have like them. My husband, isn't a fan of pre-made processed goodies. That's ok. I like them even though I don't buy them. You know how it is. If you cook for both of you, the food should appeal to both of you. I honestly can't think of a negative about Trader Joe's. I suppose you could say that there aren't as many fresh vegetables there that aren't packaged might be a negative. But there are other stores where you get a wide variety of fresh veg. I think it's a fun environment with lots of tastes and dishes that you can try...or not :) read more

Love having a Trader Joe's in my neighborhood. As described, it has more space than other TJs and ample parking. In every other way, it is a TJs: friendly employees, lots of easy to prepare food options, and very busy in the afternoon. The space they occupy now has an ACE Hardware next door, so it is a great place to get a few errands done. read more

Unfortunately each store is not the same....From layout, inventory and super disappointing was the customer service!!! Definitely would not recommend read more

What's not to love? Great neighborhood addition; pretty store, great friendly staff. Thanks TJs read more

I am simple, Trader Joe's always gets 5 stars from me. I love stopping in at the various locations across Portland any time I'm in town. I find this one to be my favorite. The staff and vibe is just super rad. read more

So exciting to have a TJs in Garden Home. It always looks like a nightmare, but I've gotten in and out quick every time I've shopped. The store has a different layout, but the selection is great & the check-out team is awesome. read more
