As a frequent shopper at this Trader Joe's, I always find this store to be a great experience. The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable, offering assistance whenever needed. The store itself is well-organized, making it easy to navigate through aisles. I appreciate the seasonal selections and unique products they offer. It makes it very easy to find new recipes, especially at a time where other grocery stores are significantly more expensive. My most recent trip only cost me $60 for 3 different types of meats, 3 fruits, and lots of miscellaneous items like flowers! With an efficient checkout process and friendly employees, this Trader Joe's remains my go-to grocery stores! read more

Trader Joe's - Bagged salad, flowers, and more groceries from the Redmond Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Redmond, Washington

TRADER JOE's @ REDMOND Parking can get pretty busy especially it being on a weekend. This Trader Joe's also shares a complex with other stores such as QFC. Walking in, the place is pretty small, compared to other Trader Joe's in Washington. The quality of the fresh items aren't the greatest, we were looking for strawberries that were organic, and they still had leaves in it and some looked like mold was formulating. Other food items however in the frozen aisles were good, they always have new items and I really enjoy how spacious the aisles are from one to another. The service itself wasn't the best. Every Trader Joe's i've been to people are ALWAYS asking about your day, how you are, or even the bare of smiling and being nice. The guy who checked us out had a straight face the entire time, literally no expression. I just felt like the staff here isn't as friendly as Bellevue or Kirkland's location. Overall, I wouldn't come back to this Trader Joe's ad my first choice, it was smaller than the other location, less quality on the products, and staff weren't friendly as other locations. read more

I used to like this location because they had plenty of parking. They still do l, but it gets pretty busy! Finding a spot can be challenging. I've learned I have to park on the other side right infront of the QFC. Spots are bigger too,and under tree shadows on summer. Same layout so you aren't going to battle finding things. They get busy and you bump into people easily, but everyone is friendly. They run out of stuff easily, and don't restock until next season :( At least in my experience. I need going to another location a couple of times. Staff is always helpful,and friendly. read more

Trader Joe's in Redmond offers great value, with affordable prices and high-quality products. The variety is impressive, from unique seasonal items to everyday staples that cater to a wide range of tastes and dietary needs. We love coming here as every visit is an adventure. What new products are in stock today? What favourite has returned? Their flowers on a Saturday morning bring delight to all. Their produce, however, is slightly lacking. Especially their tomatoes, I have absolutely had such a challenging time finding good tomatoes at this location. I am not sure why. But it's made up for the fact that they have many herbs, fruits, and great bananas in stock each time! The store is well-organized and easy to navigate, with ample parking. However, the parking lot, as expected, is quite chaotic. Park farther and walk if you can allow yourself that luxury. The staff is consistently friendly, helpful, and ready to offer great recommendations. read more

Didn't take many photos while in this Trader Joe's. A very typical layout for TJ's. Stopped in to stock up on some essentials I buy exclusively from Trader Joe's. Olive oil, brown rice and low fat Mac and cheese. This location had a very busy parking lot with tiny parking spots. I mean, lots of parking spots labeled "compact" which doesn't make much sense in WA with all the larger vehicles people drive. Fortunately I have a smaller beep beep car so small parking spots do t bother me. This store was super clean and had big aisles. Employees friendly! If I lived in the area I'd for sure visit this store regularly. If I ever am in the area again I will shop here. Happy shopping and SYOY. read more

I'm not in Redmond as often as I used to be, but this Trader Joe's is still one of my favorites on the Eastside. First, they've got a lot of parking. It's one of the few TJ's (knock on wood) where I can usually find a spot without having to grab my hiking poles from the trunk. In my experience, only the Totem Lake TJ's has a better parking sitch than this one. On the inside, this Joe's is pretty much like all the others - although (and maybe this is my imagination) it seems like their produce section has more stuff in it than other TJ's I've visited. Like, they not only have the regular produce displays, at this location they often have stacked boxes of extra produce (like kiwis!) I don't recall ever seeing at other TJ's. Again, maybe I'm just not looking hard enough elsewhere. But since this produce overflow is conveniently located right inside the front door of the Redmond store it's hard not to notice. Finally, the employees here are apparently given extra strong doses of the TJ's Friendly Juice at the beginning of their shifts. No matter how long the lines are (and trust me, they get longgggg) I'm always greeted with a smile and friendly conversation. As far as covid precautions, I'm giving them an extra star for being super smart about keeping their checkout lines organized, limiting the number of folks allowed inside at any given time, and requiring customers to wear masks. Thanks TJ's for keeping everyone's safety in mind! read more

Trader Joe's is a go-to store for us. If we're near a Trader Joe's and we need something, we're probably getting it at Trader Joe's. This location is close to home and the store we frequent the most. Everything about this store is great; it's close, the staff is super helpful and the products are on-point. read more

This time it was kind of empty. They had no good tomatoes avocados. Workers were kind of working at the clock and couldn't really help me too much. Also, I noticed that a lot of their stuff is frozen. I didn't really know that. I guess it's not a horrible secret it's just I didn't know even the bread like some basic olive bread or somethingis completely frozen put out to thaw, and then people eat it that's not advertise frozen food. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. read more

It's everyone's favourite funky grocery store!! You've probably heard of them before. They never have any sales, but the prices are fantastic and you don't need them. They are smaller than a standard grocery store, meaning a smaller selection -- and that's exactly the way they want it! Keep it simple while also offering high quality items, some of which are seasonal and thus has a huge following. Don't like something? You can get it swapped/refunded no questions asked. As a TJs fan I actively pay attention to new products and keep a mental list of what I'm trying to get my hands on. Different stores have different things so it's worth checking around if you're looking for a special something. I didn't go through the entire store and really just beelined it to check on stock, but it appears to be a good size and kept in proper order. read more

I don't normally rate grocery stores, but I just thought I would drop a quick five stars here since stuff here seem to be some of the most friendly and helpful people I have ever met at a TJ's. read more

Most Trader Joe's locations are basically 5 Stars with a recognizable rubber stamp layout. I have no problem with that. I like to know where things are. Get in, get out. So why 4 Stars for this one - one word, PARKING! I can't really fault them. They don't own the lot. But I can fault them for under planning and being in a location with lousy parking. TJ's are popular. They are in a sizable corner with more shops wedged in on the outside. I pretty much never park near the shop unless it's after 6:30pm at night when things are finally starting to calm down. I go park by QFC and walk over. It's much safer for driving with better turn radius. For the store itself, it's fine. Honestly, I find everything I typically want inside. The staff is fine too. read more

A nice Trader Joe's. The chain as a whole is great. This one is a bigger size than most. I have been here just a couple times when I worked nearby and recently with a friend. Nice and helpful staff. The parking lot is shared with the strip mall and small which is a pain at times for finding a space. The spaces are mostly compact and set up oddly. read more

Clean store in a convenient location but Not quite sure what is up with the customer service at this store. I've been trying to give them the benefit of the doubt but every time I'm here I'm not met with the usual Trader Joe's kindness....it's so weird. :/ read more

I quite liked this store; more spacious than the Totem Lake one, and parking is much better. However, last time I was here, the young woman who was bagging began putting my frozen items into my insulated bag, and it apparently triggered a memory for her. She began telling the checker about how a recent customer confused her by repeating "I have cold", then she realized they were trying to tell her they had cold items to bag, and "so I was like, why don't you just say 'I have cold things'!" Now, she and the checker are both young, and maybe she isn't aware that what she said was offensive. As a POC, I don't enjoy hearing people be mocked for not speaking English to a native speaker's standards, and I was so shocked that I didn't say anything (angry with myself about this). This was really gross and disappointing, considering how diverse Redmond is, and it's turned me off this store. read more

Trade Joe's has never been "my place" to shop, but it's conveniently located near my work. When you arrive in this shopping center, the parking lot is almost always chaos. There's always that one obnoxious person who puts their turn signal on and blocks everyone from coming in because they want that super close spot. Something that's a little off putting is their entrance/exit doors. I would prefer for the entrance to be facing the parking lot, versus the street. When it's raining like it often does here, you'll get a more wet going around to the entrance (unless you sneak in the exit door). Once you're in, it's charming. I love how Trader Joe's will customize each of its stores to emulate the community. For example, there are street names instead of numbers for checkout lanes, and there's artwork from the Redmond community on the walls. It's great, and it gives you that feel-good feeling (or that gross, this is too sappy feeling my boyfriend feels). Nonetheless, it's really cute. Their grab and go section (sandwiches, salads, etc.) is in the back right corner and isn't very big. In other locations, they've had this same section right by the entrance, which I would much rather prefer. You'll have to walk through the crowd of dawdling people, eyes locked on their grocery list while they aimlessly bump into one another. Well, it isn't THAT bad, but it did happen to me today! This store is popping. There's a lot of shoppers here, and there's a lot of checkout lanes. What I really liked is that when it was really busy, every lane had a cashier. I can't say I moved through the check out line quickly, but I could tell all of the cashiers were doing their best. There isn't a belt, so you have to place your basket or items on this small shelf, or keep your items in the cart for the cashier to scan. It's kind of nice not to worry about all those dividers and the anxious people waiting to unload behind you. The credit card machine was super slow, but maybe that was just when I was in today. The cashier was really friendly though, so it wasn't awkward or anything. Great experience, the prices are a little high (but they positon themselves as a healthy grocery store, so what did you expect?), and it's a really cute grocery store. read more

Trader Joe's - The entrance when you first walk in - Grocery Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Finally. After seeing all their neighboring cities get a Trader Joe's, the 98052 finally has got one. Went to Trader Joe's today, which opened the day before. Did not dare drive anywhere near here yesterday. It is on Redmond Way in the same complex as Ben Franklin, Staples and QFC. There was also a new building erected in the same shopping center which now houses Qdoba and Niko Teriyaki. Combining these places with Trader Joe's sounds like it makes for a parking nightmare. This may actually make going to the Jamba Juice even more of a hassle. Maybe it was because it was a Saturday afternoon, but there was parking spaces so I was relieved. Still, I find the parking lot here to be a bit of pain to get in and out of. The location itself actually has a pretty open design compared with that of the Bellevue and Kirkland stores which I like. The selection here is as good as any of the other locations. Picked up their blueberry crumpets, marinated ahi, latkes, crimini mushrooms and lobster ravioli all of which are delicious. The layout is pretty easy to remember. Wines on the left side, produce in the back, bread on the right side, freezer items in the middle. All told, I liked the layout of the store as it easy to navigate. The checkout lines were kind of slow, but to be expected on a second day. Nice touch to have checkout lines labeled with Redmond locations on them (ex. Avondale, Novelty Hill, etc.) I probably will revisit this store as it is the closest one to work. Though the parking issue kind of makes me want to go to the deserted Kirkland location. read more

As TJs go, this one is really nice & well-stocked. Love the organic selection & the Taster counter... I've bought more, having tried a new item. Only drawback to this TJs... a few of their Crew at the registers could use some PR tune-ups. Happy Faces do so much more for TJs community image, than the Crankies, any day of the week! read more

This Trader Joe's is probably the cleanest I have been to in the state! I love their staff-we always recognize each other and it is so cool to be able to do something so basic like pick up spices and vegetables and have a nice conversation. Thank you Trader Joe's for being such a highlight to my week. I am making this review in the time of the coronavirus: STAY SAFE. You are awesome, and you are essential. Thank you for being here. read more

I remain a HUGE fan...mostly of their staples. Peanut Butter, Olive Oil, Roasting Chicken, Nuts, fresh raviolis. My favorite frozen foods right now are the various bagged dumplings, chocolate lava cake. Decent liquor prices and decent under $8 wines. read more

I love Trader Joes! Friendly employees who help you find anything you need. read more

Trader Joe's - Cart Goals - Grocery Near Me - Redmond, Washington

It was my first visit to this store. The staff was very friendly and professional. I was fortunate enough to have Kelly ring up my goodies. She greeted me with a warm and friendly smile! read more

Clean store, always nicely stocked. Easy to navigate, even on the busiest of days! The staff are usually pretty nice, and they are very efficient at getting through the check out lines. Tip: never go to Trader Joe's hungry because you will want to buy everything!! Definitely reasonably priced items, I will generally go here first to get all my fresh fruits/veggies, but don't rely on Trader Joe's for basic household items! Will continue to be a fan though! Parking is a shared lot with a bunch of other businesses, but I've never had trouble getting parking. read more

There's nothing wrong you can say about Trader Joe's! They sell some great stuff here and very reasonable prices. Staff here are very friendly and helpful. The only draw back is the parking lot. It's always packed and the parking spaces are almost as bad as Hawaii, very small spots read more

Probably one of the smallest but best Trader Joe's I've been to! It's really organized and clean. They still had many of the holiday items sold out at other locations. They seemed to be well stocked with all regular items too! You can't go wrong at Trader Joe's especially when it's a super pleasant experience like here! The staff is also really friendly and engaging. read more

From Los Angeles, ATL to Washington, Trader Joes is the go to for yummy & decently healthy and priced options for the fam. Although this trader joes has one of the better layouts, & usually has good customer service although the Kirkland TJ's seems to employ happier people. Which was confirmed by my visit this evening when KIM ( an older lady in her 50's, her age is of importance because age should be wise enough to know better then again ignorance has no age limit ) who was prepping the tasters decided to be an obnoxious troll to my two year old son, who politely asked "may I have another one please?" Her response was to literally look down from behind her stand & bark "NO!" In complete shock that even happened, I asked " are you serious?!" She literally had no response. I wonder what her response would have been if I said what I really wanted to. You'd think she was footing the bill for every sample handed out. Mind you he was asking for seconds, not fifths. Whether it was her awkward sense of humor / sarcasm or that she simply isn't a pleasant person, it wasn't the appropriate response to a toddler. Kids who are learning to navigate in this world don't need jerks running around spreading their lack of respect for other humans. There is enough ugliness around & in due time kids grow up & realize that. KIMS attitude is off putting & definitely doesn't belong there. I hope the manager DAN I spoke with took a serious look into her behavior. read more

While checking out this past weekend at the Redmond location, the Cashier (Em?) asked me how my day was going, and I mentioned it had been a tough week; I had to put my dog down last weekend and I'm floundering with the excess time and space that used to be filled with him. A couple of minutes later, after she whispered something to the Manager, I noticed that the Manager handed her a bouquet of flowers to add to my bag! I was in complete shock, as nothing that generous has ever happened to me in a grocery store. Parking here can be tricky at times, but that really made the trip there worthwhile. Thank you Trader Joe's for making a difficult week just a little bit brighter. read more

Feel the spirit of the joe this place is amazing always the nicest people, great products and prices the parking lot is crazy though but other than that I can't complain. I love there treat section they always have such different stuff then regular grocery stores there brownies bites are very good. read more

Finally Redmond has its own Trader Joe's. And it's a great one! This store has all the advantages of the other TJ's: great food, great demos, great prices. The breads and wines are particularly good, but my family also loves the cookies and sweets, and I like the frozen options. Also, the bags of nuts and dried fruits are inexpensive and make for awesome additions to salads. This store stands out from other TJ's - in a good way - because the aisles are wider and circulation is improved. I love the Redmond flavor of this store, with the Redmond street signs designating the various check-out counters. Nice touch! My one gripe: the parking lot. With the addition of this Tj"s here, the lot is often super-conjested, and getting in, and ESPECIALLY getting out of the lot, onto 160th Ave.NE, is a nightmare. If you need to turn northbound onto 160th Ave.NE, may the force be with you; you're going to be waiting there a long, LONG time, trying to get out. read more

Pros: Friendly staff, clean, organized, neat. Cons: It gets so crowded sometimes standing in line it's crazy and hectic. Also outside trader Joe's they always have like political stuff, or protesters or homeless people or people with signs etc kind of annoying. read more

I have a love/hate relationship with this location. It's always super crowded, the parking lot is sooo dramatic. The spaces are setup weird, people are always speeding and there's usually a homeless family obstructing the entry/exit of the road creating this nightmare situation of looky loos turning in and yielding to someone backing out, pulling in/out, pedestrians, etc. Once you grab a cart and are inside its typically heavily congested but you can historically find what you're looking for, its always well presented and you can ask a question about if something is in stock. But, the answer is usually if its not there itll be there next day delivery. Its hit or miss with the level of friendliness. Like when we were in there yesterday and asked Mr Clipboard where the Jojos were (cookies) since there's no real designated spot theyre usually over the frozen foods we asked, looked over his shoulder as we found them and said we found them but he never really responded. As if his clipboard was his only task. I like to grab a small shot of free coffee and end up tasting and buying the stuff they've prepped for samples, perfect buy in! read more

Average sized Trader Joe's with a good parking lot. Staff is helpful like all Trader Joe's and the flow pattern of the store makes it seem less cramped than others. Prices are all the same, so I'm giving it a better than average rating for the location, parking, and store set up that doesn't make you feel cramped! read more

I love all TJs and I def. love this one. This location is very clean and spacious. This morning, I took a couple of items to get them exchanged. I was greeted and helped by all smiles and great attitude. Now that's customer service. I just hate it when the employees make ugly faces and act like I'm taking money away from their pockets (when I'm clearly not shopping at commisision based stores). TJ is like Nords of food shopping. Along with Whole Foods - that's another great place with great customer service. (Funny - Nords employees work on commission, yet they have the best attitude even when you return items.) Anyway I love TJs. I will also say that I tried out one of their new items: Roasted Coconut Chips. Wow, I finished my bag so fast that I returned this morning to get another one. It's that tasty. They need to sell bigger bags soon, because that one bag just aint enough. read more

This Trader Joe's is delightfully big. The one in Kirkland can feel a bit claustrophobic, especially since it is always busy. I went to this one because I was in the area, and it was cool that it was big. It feels much more pleasant. You can expect really great cashiers, somewhat inexpensive food, and some really unique stuff -- especially in the frozen section. I really love the frozen chicken tacos, any of their chips, their salsa. What really keeps me coming back, though, is their meat and produce. It is always really good quality and fresh. I just have never had great luck on the whole at Fred Meyer, QFC, or Safeway. The organic/grass-fed ground beef is especially great. One thing that is kind of surprising is their cheese section. The grated Pecorino Romano is a staple in my house - and the triple cream brie is a once-in-a-while treat.. read more

Healthy yet delicious food I can just stick on the stove! It doesn't get better than that. I really like the Korean barbeque meat and the many ravioli choices. They're fried rice is not great, but the pork buns and dumplings are awesome. Almost all products are packaged in individual meals. A few things I wish they had are rice cooker-compatible rice, rather than boiled and clearer unit prices (ie. price/ounce). The latter to prevent accidentally getting ridiculously overpriced organic products. If you ignore the organic foods, the prices are generally really good. read more

Trader Joe's - Tons of Americanized Indian food! - Grocery Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Alright, so it is my privilege to post the 100th Yelp review of this Trader Joe's. This location is amazing. I have been to multiple Trader Joes in Seattle and eastside and all have been great but the staff at this location is absolutely fantastic. They really go out of their way to help. Couple of examples below - -Someone took your cart - No problem, we will get you one from outside. -Not able to find any item - Here, let me look it up for you and see when it will be in the store again. -It started raining - No problem, we will walk you to the car with an umbrella. Oh wait, why don't you sit in the car while we load the grocery in the trunk. Are you for real? I so wish I remember the name of the lady who helped me, if she is reading this - THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! Tip - And did you know about Benny the pony? read more

Really, TJ? You're gonna do us all like that? When I finally found parking, it rained as soon as I stepped out of my car. I almost sprained my ankle sprinting to your store to stay dry. Someone tapped my car. Oh, and I didn't even leave the store with what I intended to purchase. Nothing good comes out of visiting this Trader Joe's location. This is one of many Trader Joe's locations that has the least thoughtful parking lots (like ever) and any time I visit any of these locations, I'm convinced I have unresolved rage coupled with suicidal tendencies and would rather be parking my car up your butt. I had to wedge my car into the tightest spot that I have ever witnessed and side-scraped the car next to me because a majority of the spots in the parking lot are for compact cars. That's a load of horseshit to me. If I decide my SUV fits then it FITS, motherfuckers. I love Trader Joe's because I can buy a month's worth of snacks for under $20. It's ridiculous. However, whenever I browse their salad or produce selection here, they're all wilted and frown at me. It upsets me. The lettuce and salad mixes just are not happy there. Also, what is with their lack of full fat products? Everything that exists there is skim or non-fat. If I wanted to eat to things that are non-fat, I wouldn't be purchasing 5 bags of your chocolate-covered pretzels. You just can't have it all, sometimes. read more

So I've pretty much discovered that I'm about as cultured as strawberry yogurt. I became painfully aware of this fact when I used to spend time with my ex in San Fran, his sister Rebecca and her husband Seth (because no one there can afford a place by themselves). Rebecca and Seth ask questions like: "Have you gone to see the exhibits at the de Young museum yet?" and "Didn't that movie make you ponder your own mortality?" And they make statements like: "I think about.com is almost untruthful in its posing as an informational website when you can't decipher the advertisements from the literature" and "I'll be discussing why virtual reality isn't really a legitimate entity". These people think about crap I wouldn't think twice about. They are things I'd dismiss as immediately as they came into my head, at which point I move on to topics such as "do these pants make my hips look wide" and "I wonder how deep the ocean would be if there were no sponges". They're relatively nice people and I don't believe they tried to make me feel like an alien holding an anal probe, but that apparently just happened naturally. During one of my visits they'd offered me some red wine. I've never been one to turn down alcohol on any occasion so I excitedly said "yes". They turned to open a bottle of Ravenswood Red Zinfandel which I'd had before and enjoyed. Becoming almost overcome with joy that I thought I might have something in common with these people, I inquired if they'd ever tried Robert Mondavi's Red Zin, to which Seth replied "I don't like Robert Mondavi as a person". Who says that? I was dumb-founded, clearly I hadn't been going about this wine drinking process the right way. I had no idea that I was supposed to judge on both taste of wine and personal character of its maker. The last time I went to a wine tasting I'm pretty sure the sommelier didn't say: "...and here we have a Pinot Gris made with an optimally ripe, citrus-tinged, peach-like fruit which demonstrates a fine sense of balance and palatal length. The maker tried to keep even the most fastidious of connoisseurs in mind even while enjoying his favorite passtime of clubbing baby seals with his hand-made ivory tusk pick axe while forcing them to listen to a Kenny G. album. Now, on to the Pinot Noir!" I was just viewing this transaction as a polite exchange of common interest. Truth be told, if Hitler would've made a good tasting reasonably priced selection of Chianti I'd probably buy a bottle... hey you never know. Which brings me to my review of Trader Joes - GREAT wine selection. They have wines there you don't see anywhere else, most of which are affordable. I can't vouch for the vintners but I've had some pretty good finds. Bogle Red Zin being one of them. As for the rest of the store - it's all great after you've visited the wine section.... as are most things come to think of it. They don't have EVERYTHING you need from your grocery shopping list, but what they do have is tasty and affordable. This location is also bigger and better spaced-out than their Bellevue counterpart. The cashiers are always helpful and cheerful which can be a nice change of pace form your average turn-and-burn checker. Salute! read more

Trader Joe's has one item that QFC next store doesn't; FRESH PIZZA DOUGH! Although I tend to stock up on my other groceries elsewhere, TJ's has those special items that you really can't get anywhere else except a TJ's. Fresh pizza dough, Parmesan crisps, bean taquitos, cheap wine and $1.99 Ritter Sports are always in my basket on a Trader Joe's trip. My one gripe are the lines are always long, and the checkers are consistently slow. I understand this establishment is more laid back than your typical grocery store, but why not save the small talk for when business is slow and show a greater sense of urgency for getting the customers in and out in an efficient manner? read more

I decided to drive a little out of my way to try this new TJ's, and it was totally worth it! The inside is so spacious and well laid out. The food demo section is super cute with pans hanging on the wall, looking as though a tv show could be shot there. The wine section is very large and well organized. The staff was also super friendly, and the check out lines were very short. I went in at around 3:30 pm, and usually when I hit up Totem Lake at this time, it's very busy and crowded. I will definitely come to this location when I have the time to go a little out of the way. My only hope is they open one like this in Bothell!! read more
