Aww Trader Joe's, my absolute favorite store for groceries. Ever since this location opened in Poway I started coming here. They are always super clean and the staff is so kind and helpful. They always have yummy new stuff to try and even have samples which are usually delicious. Great prices on almost everything and I love that there are no food dyes in anything. As a mom of 4 its so helpful that they unload the cart for you and bag everything. The checkout people are always friendly and my kids even love coming for the free lollipops after finding the hidden horse. If you have any questions about the new products they always do their best to help. This is one grocery store I feel like I leave in a better mood than when I came lol! Even though we usually check out with a huge cartful, no one ever makes it feel like its a burden. Love Trader Joe's, and this location is definitely one of the best I've been to! read more

This Trader Joe's is one of my favorite locations! I prefer this one over the Carmel Mountain branch. This location is always clean and the staff is great! Parking can be a bit tough since it's a smaller lot, just an fyi. The prices are great here and the selection is even better. read more

Parking is always a hassle in front of this store. Frequented by millennial hipsters, older Asians, homeschool moms, gluten-free band wagoneers, and white people +50yrs old. I don't get the concept of the check out areas. Occasionally I find some hidden gems here but mainly go for the variety of chip dips. read more

I haven't been in a Trader Joe's in four years and it was a bit like coming home. I was so impressed with the prices and selection, happy to pick up organic berries, kombucha, kefir and the necessary pumpkin ice cream and maple ice cream ( buy it, you will be in tastebud heaven) the experience would have been totally fabulous if it wasn't for the end of the experience. Jaime was apparently not the happiest I tried to help and bag the groceries, she mildly scolded my holding of the groceries and seemed ultra concerned I couldn't handle the transport of my berries and two bits of ice cream, quite odd. read more

Always friendly and they have a great selection. My problem is I go in for one or two things and end up grabbing way more. Everything is pretty reasonable (unless you are like me and grab everything, it adds up! hehehe). I do love that you can find something different and we get a great sampling of a variety of foods we may not normally get. My son loves the spanakopita and the pot stickers. They are a staple for him in his dorm room and when he comes home. Store is open and you do not feel crowded (even though it always is). Love the fresh produce and flowers as well. I can never go into a Trader Joe's without coming out with a bag full of goodies. I usually bring my own bag but always look forward to the holiday decorated paper bags :) read more

I love this Trader Joes. I usually shop during the week and parking is good. On weekends it's a little tight like most stores. I don't see only one demographic here like one of the reviews suggest, I see all types of people. The service is always excellent. The clerks are friendly and helpful. The food choices I make are always tasty. I buy the cheese, the vegetables, the yogurt, cereals, seasonal favorites and all is fresh and yummy. I recommend the Trader Joes in Poway. read more

Trader Joe's is bar none the best grocery store ever! Their offerings are excellent -- from their frozen foods to produce and fruits and they have new products seasonally -- plus the fabulous fresh flowers, greeting cards and totes! I've been a loyal client for the better part of 30 years -- and it's my number one store! One very notable thing is that the employees all seem happy working there -- they always help you find stuff with a smile and they hat with you and give you pointers as to how to prep certain things because they try everything themselves!! The service is unsurpassed and the way they pack your groceries is an art!! The store and rest rooms are always clean and everything is well stocked and looks and is fresh -- it all invites you to shop there and you leave happy. Prices are very competitive to boot -- what's not to like!!??!! Yes, I recommend Trader Joe's 1000%!! read more

This new store is a God send!! My commute to Trader Joe's was cut down from 25 min. to 8 min., so I am shopping at TJ's way more often. Everything is clean and well stocked, and the employees are very knowledgeable and friendly.

I visited between 8:50 and 9:10 and picked up a few items. I had just come from Five Below and brought the bag with me. That alone seemed to trigger suspicion as staff members would follow me through the aisles as if I were doing something wrong. At checkout, an employee in a purple shirt with blonde hair repeatedly checked my cart and then grabbed it aggressively while saying, "No cash--card only," in a tone that implied I couldn't pay. The entire experience was disrespectful and unnecessary. I won't be returning ever read more

This Trader Joe's is a wonderful addition to the shopping in Poway. The transformation of the former Steinmart space into this Trader Joe's was a job well done. Yes, the layout follows that of other Trader Joe's, yet is seems fresh. Shelves and cases are well-stocked; crew members are friendly and helpful. Parking is decent in the shared lot. Easy access from Midland. This is not the closest Trader Joe's to home, but it will be most convenient when we make shopping trips into Poway. read more

We live closer to the Carmel Mtn. store, but the parking there is always a problem and the store is often crowded. That's why we started going up to the Escondido store because there was always parking and the store was well stocked and had more room. Then yesterday after dropping off our car at the Toyota dealer for service,, we went to this store and were amazed at how big, well stocked and uncrowded it was. A quick check of Google maps indicated it was closer than the Escondido store so now we'll be coming here. read more

I was so happy to see that the Trader Joe's had opened right down the street, and they made the parking a lot bigger. But, as I was shopping I noticed the grapes had mold on them then continued my shopping. I usually come just for snacks or the frozen foods but I picked up some vegetables today. Once I got home I cut my bell peppers that I purchased and it had mold in it too! However, the cashier was super nice. Maybe just be careful with the produce.. read more

They're so nice here! Thank you to the woman today who was so kind to me and my kids. My kids were hungry and cranky, so they opened a box of crackers. But the box ended up spilling all over and we got crackers everywhere. I started picking them up and apologized, and a woman who worked here said don't worry about it, it happens all the time. Then she got me a new box of crackers and took the old box and threw it away. Thank you to this kind woman and all the wonderful employees at TJs! read more

Customer service is super convenient for returns, and I appreciate that they've got both cashiers and self-checkout. The "smart carts" you can scan as you go look fun--I'll try one next time. Deals are easy to spot on the shelves, and the parking lot has plenty of space. Bonus: there's a whole aisle dedicated just to wine and beer. BUUUUT...The produce section looked super rough. Lots of wilted lettuce, sad-looking flowers, and big gaps in the refrigerated area where items were missing. I even had to go hunting for one of those little plastic produce bags. The hot food bar didn't look great either with trays sitting out for who knows how long, some empty altogether. Same with the salad bar, which definitely needed some love. Even the beer and wine refrigerated area wasn't fully stocked. TLDR: , The store feels kind of quiet and empty not much energy. It's worth checking out for the deals and convenience, but the "fresh" part of Amazon Fresh could use some attention.

However, several issues have been making my shopping experience increasingly uncomfortable. I often feel like I'm being watched. When I walk down an empty aisle, someone seems to appear almost immediately, and they stand very close to me. The self‑checkout area is especially uncomfortable -- the employee there watches me so closely that it feels accusatory. I've never stolen anything in my life; I'm the person who turns in lost cell phones. This is the only store where I ever feel this way, and it's discouraging. The large blue baskets employees push around are another concern. I've been bumped or hit by them more than once. Recently, an item I canceled at checkout was accidentally left in my cart by an employee. I drove back to return it because I didn't want anyone to get in trouble, but the situation added to my frustration. The produce section also needs improvement. Some items are fine, but the potatoes are often old, and the lettuce is frequently wilted. The layout of the produce area makes things worse -- the slanted tables and narrow pathways cause constant congestion, and customers end up bumping into each other. I hope these issues can be addressed. I like this store and want to continue shopping here but thinking of changing to a different store. The overall experience has become stressful. Improving the layout, produce quality, and customer interactions would make a big difference.

If you want mediocre pastries that do nothing but scratch your sweet tooth, there are dozens of places out there that are happy to do the bare minimum. Donutopolis in Poway is not one of those places. For the same price if not better than their competitors you will received not only some of the best donuts you have ever eaten, from flawless classics to innovative specialties, you will also receive so of the best customer service you have ever had at a donut shop, or most other restaurants for that matter. The staff have made their small corner store into a friendly and comfortable place to pickup treats for your events or sit down for a fulfilling breakfast any day of the week, and with special made-to-order treats for larger events, such as their giant birthday donut, Donutopolis is your one stop shop for all your donut needs. A personal favorite of mine is their maple bacon bar which I can comfortably say is the single best maple bacon donut I have ever had, and they are consistent. In fact once when I went in to get one before work they were sold out, and when I asked if they had any the baker offered to make me one right then and there. For no extra cost he didn't just sprinkle bacon bits on a plain maple bar and call it a day, he used fresh maple icing to glue the bits onto the bar, a bit of extra effort that I truly appreciated as I had to eat it on the go. It's the little things like that which show me that the people running this store and making these donuts aren't just doing the bare minimum, they care about their craft and they are dedicated to bringing you fresh and delicious donuts every time you visit, never cutting corners and never disappointing.

After all I've experienced in life, having a dog has become essential for my health and safety. My dogs are my constant companions, and I keep them in a stroller to ensure they stay clean and avoid germs and parasites while being by my side. They bring me joy and comfort as they travel everywhere with me! Today, I visited the store, but I found myself feeling unwell due to the heat, so I needed to grab a drink. As I made my way to the cashier with my two drinks in hand, I noticed there was no one around, when suddenly an employee stepped in front of my dogs in an intimidating manner. At that moment, it felt quite confrontational, but she laughed and remarked on how cute they were. However, my experience took a turn when a man who I believe was a manager approached me and informed me that they don't allow dogs in the store. I explained that my dogs are service animals, but he continued to insist I leave. Frustrated, I dropped my drinks and exited the store. His dismissive attitude was surprising, especially given my and my dogs' calm presence--we were simply enjoying our day out! It's vital that all establishments adhere to federal regulations regarding service animals, and encountering such resistance was disappointing. Thankfully, the staff at Ross were supportive and allowed me to grab some drinks without issue. I truly believe in fostering an environment of understanding and respect, and it's my hope that this situation can lead to better training for employees on service animal policies. I don't want this to happen to others, and I look forward to a prompt response to ensure this does not occur again. Positive change starts with open communication, and I'm hopeful for a resolution! read more

Clean bathroom, no sport bottle fill station, only a regular water fountain that is low flow, so basically can't get any water into a bottle. That was a let down. Huge parking lot, easy to find parking.

Daytime resupply of Meat and Fruits…read more We came into the Poway Aldis during the day today to resupply on Meat and our normal Aldis items. Of course don't forget to bring a quarter for the carts, but if you do; you can always ask a friendly cashier for one. We found everything throughout the store, we are finally getting used to the newer layout. The store was well organized as usual. The staff were busy handling customers and restocking shelves, but doing so with a smile. We will continue to frequent this location. Keep it up Aldis! Pro Tip: Don't forget to check in the meat area for any reduced price deals. ------ RATING SNAPSHOT Service: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Overall:

The disabled parking is adjacent to the store, which is very convenient. It is in a shopping complex with other businesses I patronize including Jack in the Box, Black Mountain Barbershop, Navy Federal Credit Union, and Donut Stop. Prices are always low at ALDI. In comparison the other ALDI in Mira Mesa, located at 6755 Mira Mesa Blvd, is not as clean, has a shopping cart area that always seems to need cleaning, and over half of self checkout terminals are frequently out of service.

Decent coffee too and even various syrups and creams for you to use. I think one of my favorite things is the hot chocolate though. 7-11 hot cocoa just hits different for some reason. The staff is always welcoming and saying hello as soon as you walk in and have a nice day when you checkout. Some prices are a bit high but hey, if you need that $8 pint of Ben and Jerry's then you should treat yourself for sure! Most everything though is very well priced. This 7-11 has been a staple in our neighborhood for as long as I have been in PQ and we are very thankful they are there!

I drive all the way from Downtown San Diego to get this kind of outstanding customer service and it is well worth the drive!
