so happy to find a trader joe's not too far from our hotel... spent an extended weekend in riverside for my daughter's dance competition. Breakfast and evening snacks were covered by the hotel's concierge lounge...but lunches were needed and I didn't want to deal with going out and buying food to bring back to the hall. i stocked up on premade sandwiches & salads. Got some evening pita/hummus and of course some mommy juice!! I can always count on trader joes for "on the go food" read more

The Employees are always helpful. It's always well stocked and clean. I love the seasonal items. The flowers are always beautiful.

The most awesome staff ever! Theyre always nice as can be and super helpful. Will definitely recommend to anyone in the area

It's always a pleasure to shop at Trader Joe's. Each time I go, I try a new product. Have found some real favorites. Mind you, you can't get all the brand name items you're used to, but who cares? Traders products are probably better anyway. They have lots of fresh and refrigerated items too. The store is always clean, and the employees are super friendly and efficient. I only wish I had a closer TJ's! read more

Thank you Riverside for bringing in a Trader Joe's. This store is my hands down favorite shopping spot. The variety is not as vast as other stores, but the quality and price-point is exceptional. I'll let you in on a little secret, though I believe I will regret it. Around Christmas, they bring in their chocolate-mint covered Joe-Joe cookies. They are to DIE FOR! Seriously addicting. I admit, I've looked for them on-line when TJ sells out, and they go for a crazy high price...... and people actually buy them, that's how good they are. Don't believe i could live in an area without a TJ's. read more

Great market and good quality wonderful staff lots of variety, prices so reasonable compare to markets today sad we don't have a Trader Joe's in St. George read more

Nice experience. Store was really crowded and checkers were very efficient and friendly!! Jarod checked me out.. Cooool dude! And Stacey (an employee) was in line behind me and helped expedite things.. Now that's teamwork!! read more

I used to love TJs. Been shopping since the 70s in the San Fernando Valley. Now not so much. Sent my husband to Tjs and the sliced mushrooms had a date of being in the store for over 10 days. Slimy and stunk! The corn chip in the bag were all smashed. You really have to check everything you buy. Look at the dates especially dairy and cheese. Check the tomatoes, they don't pull the smashed ones that are moldy. I would rather drive to Sprouts and know it's fresh not old crap. read more

Trader Joe's is one of my favorite stores. This location is in the Riverside plaza which is close to where I work so I can stop by and check things out on my lunch hour. I've been coming to this location for years and I've always had a positive shopping experience. The store is clean and well stocked and the employees are friendly and helpful. Yes, they can get extremely busy but the lines move pretty quickly. I love some of the specialty items that they carry especially during the holidays. There are also some items that I only purchase at Trader Joe's like their cinnamon swirl bread for French toast or bread pudding, some of their frozen items like the artichoke hearts, mushrooms melody, and the beer battered halibut for fish tacos. Trader Joe's also has the best everything bagel spice blend. I've tried a few other brand but I think Trader Joe's has the best one. The only thing I don't care for is the produce area. I don't care for the pre-packaged produce which is all they carry but thats a personal preference. I do appreciate that they carry fresh flowers and some fresh potted herbs. They also have the best canvas shopping bags. I've been using their canvas bags for years and I had cashiers at a competitiors store I shop at frequently ask about my Trader Joe's bags. read more

Great service . Would highly recommend shopping here at riverside plaza ! I came in asking about purchasing bags for my wife's classroom children and the clerk let me have them at no cost for the children. read more

Wonderfully fun, inexpensive, tasty, shopping experience! I've shopped at many TJ's since I was 15 years old! That's decades! So long, I remember when they sold smokes! read more

Everyone knows Trader Joe's products are good, but the fact they take this pandemic so seriously and exercised all necessary prevention control is the reason they stand out and earning me as a loyal customer. Stay healthy and safe everyone! read more

Favorite grocery store! Friendly staff, good variety, high quality, and enough parking.

Great staff and always accommodating. Trader Joe's is reasonably priced and great for all family sizes. The flowers are almost worth visiting just for a fresh bouquet. The price for flowers and quality is not comparable anywhere else. I tend to sway towards the fragrant lilies that are , $5.99. Anywhere else they are easily $12-$14... Find the secret gems of the store, for instance mixing the jalapeño pub cheese mixed with vegetarian beans in a can. A 5 minute creation sampled at the store, served with tortilla chips, it is amazing and a great party appetizer. read more

I come here a lot and the staffs are always so welcoming! The store has a variety of things to choose from and offers a lot of vegan groceries! The store is clean & organized and the parking lot is big! read more

I've been doing a lot of shopping here for about the last three months. The store is always very clean and the people that work here are always very helpful. It's a smaller store so it's easier for me to ask where most things are because everything is placed very neatly but compact. Everything I go in there for is usually in stock unless it's been discontinued. The lines tend to get pretty long later in the afternoon. They could get a little bit better about the way that they open lanes when there are long lines, they don't usually look for the customer that is next as most traditional supermarkets do. read more

Two stars because it's convenient to my sons school pickup. But if I'm being honest, this TJ's is horrible. Please explain to me why you have crap at the end of your check out station, so ppl can barely bag their food. Also, you might want to educate your staff about what is considered vegan. You had a sample out and wrote out that it was vegan, but it contained eggs. After asking about it, the gal was rude. This Trader Joe's is so crazy. People are entering through the exit and exiting through the entrance. No one there ever controls the flow of traffic. I've been shopping at TJ's since I was child and this location is just a nightmare. Thank goodness that I live in Temecula and only have to shop here if it's a last resort on our way home. read more

I love Trader Joe's!. This is one of the biggest locations I have been in which is a really nice change to be able to walk through and not bump into people. The products are just freaking fabulous! Over time we have tried about any and everything they have and its all been more or less top notch! Newest obsession, the smores ice cream sandwiches, yuuum! Another highlight would be the samples, they really go all out, its been tacos with salsa and guac, pulled pork sammies with chips and last weekend stuffed peppers and microgreens. Plates, for free!!! How can you not give them 5 stars?!! Prices are more than fair, in fact the cheapest you will find at any healthier or organic chain. Feel good shopping at good prices with super nice, always helpful staff! Trader Joe's rocks my world! read more

Trader Joe's is possibly the best grocery store in the inland empire. I love the selection from meat, dairy, to coffee and wine. Come here for their 2.99 wine. Not only is it cheap and delicious but there's a pretty solid selection of whites and reds. The customer service is also top notch. Super friendly and informative. My go to grocery store in riverside. read more

Here's your Xmas story: Been a customer for years and I go in, shop, get to the check-out and realize I forgot my wallet. The cashier suggested I go check the car but I knew I left it at home. I saw ED the manager earlier and sought him out. Ed, I forgot my wallet sez I and Ed says no problem. Asked me what would I like to do? I said let me come in tomorrow and he said fine. Walked out with $50 worth of shopping but with one other thing money could not buy and that is the GOODWILL toward men which leads to peace on earth. What a class act Trader Joes! To all their employees well done. Merry Xmas read more

I en shopping at Trader Joe's for over 40 years. First one we went to was in Westchester, in Los Angeles county. The one here at the plaza is the friendliest the most efficient the best stocked I've ever been to. The people here are nicer and friendlier than our church. I just want to say thank you to Patrick, Carlos, Mark and all the other fantastic people at this location. Add Mihn Mandy Daniel Caitlyn as professional friendly and knowledgeable! Congratulations to the management. Success like this starts at the top and works its way down. read more

Like all Trader Joes, staff is overly friendly. Not always a bad thing. My wife gets hit on, actually it's more like, I like your green hair, tattoos, Harry potter/Star Wars shirt (no particular order). Try there shampoos, conditioners, toothbrushes. Beer prices okay, snack stuff is always off the beaten path. Great meals ready to put in the microwave/oven. It depends if you want it to taste as the company wants or you like your food soggy, gross, but less than 2 minutes. That's your call. Give a hoot and bring your own bags. Birkenstocks not required. Overall, great store. Needs to tears down that CVS and make it bigger. read more

I just want to say how much I enjoy shopping at Trader Joe's. I saw on the news tonight that you are under fire because of some of your ethnic advertising. I was shocked. People need to grow up. If you don't like the advertising then go somewhere else. Please don't bow down to these people. You are appreciated. I have always enjoyed your upbeat advertising. read more

This location has a lot to choose from despite their small building. The service is always nice and friendly. Staff always smile or greet you when you come in. Often times, the staff will ask you if you need help when they see you looking a little lost. Many items rotate throughout the year and the produce is usually in-season only options, so if you want a wide variety of produce, a different store might suit you better. The store is always clean and all staff have shown efforts to sanitize. Masks are a must for customers and staff comply with this as well. read more

I don't have any specific experience to report. I just got groceries here yesterday and realized that in 5 years I have never had a single negative experience. This location is really great. read more

This place is great! They have a lot of unusual stuff you can't usually find at regular grocery stores. The prices are fair for what it is. Service is awesome. At this location, I always have a great cashier and stocking personnel are knowledgeable and helpful! read more

whats up with the unwelcoming vibes towards black people in this place? is there a problem???? my wife and I come to this place often so we have multiple situations to where the "Vibe" towards us was not the same we witnessed that was given pleasantly to other customers right in front of our faces. From the person who greets at the door, to the cashier... WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? read more

2 BUCK CHUCK. The store carries a lot of cool item that you can't get at a normal grocery store, but the wine is what keeps me coming back! I hope their prices never change. read more

The staff here is so friendly and outgoing. They went out of their way to locate an employee that I was looking for. Real nice staff to have represent your company. Excellent customer service! Have a nice day. read more

I took a quick glance at regular groceries, the prices reminded me of Ralph's but not known brand/high quality produce, this is nothing like joes competition at aldi, people are paying like an extra 10-20% above regular market values it's crazy read more

I love Trader Joe's, it's where I do most of my shopping and I prefer grocery shopping here over any other grocery store any day. They have so many options with real unprocessed foods and I love that their options are so universal! They have foods from all around the world and there are so many things to try. This place will never get old! read more

Thank you to this store for making my grocery shopping stress free! All workers were wearing masks. Shelves were stocked. Every other checkout lane was open.. so you aren't back to back with anyone. They also regulate the flow going into the store... so it isn't packed. This is great management! Thank you! read more

This trader joes has grown in customer service. Its friendly, and helpful. Their new layout of the store makes it easier to shop. Manager is always helpful. When staff is friendly it feels good to shop there. read more

Can't go wrong with Trader Joe's! I stopped here to get food before heading up the mountain to Running Springs! Same nice staff (if you're lucky to get Brock, he's easy on the eyes), and great service! Funny piece of advice- the coffee is hidden all the way in the corner. My friend and I realized we forgot it, and I ran around the whole store looking. Very back left corner! Seems like a smaller store than I'm used to, but they had everything I needed! read more

You have to love the simplicity of Trader Joe's. Quality foods, decent pricing and qood customer service with employees who always have a smile on their faces. I normally don't do my main grocery shopping at Trader Joe's but it is pretty cool to peruse the specialty items that only they carry. One of the main reasons for my Trader Joe's stops is their floral selection. They offer some really nice arrangements are an unbeatable price. This is especially helpful with the nearby cemetery. read more
