    Snacks

    Of course, TJ is always so much fun. I love browsing all the aisles. Currently while I am writing this review we are in the middle of bird flu so they are limiting one dozen of eggs per person. Aim to get here before 11am to get eggs. Otherwise no eggs for you. This parking lot is tight. So brace yourself for some speedy drivers that do not know how to park between the white lines and think we are in a grand theft auto.

    Currently one of my favorite stores. Just wish they were closer to my house. It's clean, the staff is friendly and helpful and each week you might find something new. They also have some of the best snacks! Quality products at good prices.

    Lots if fresh produce and other tasty food stuffs. I also picked up an interesting, low sugar chocolate covered cocoa bean. I was able to grab ingredients to make pizza too. The staff is always friendly and helpful. If you need anything, they typically take you to it. One of them told me a story about a customer who wanted to know how much sodium was in a carrot. The staff person was kind enough to google it for the customer. The customer complained that the package only included carrot as an ingredient. Well guess what, that's a good thing and is what's required. They have a good amount of checkers, so no line on the way out.

    As a brand, I like this place. It has a good selection of organic and non processed foods. They may be on the more expensive side, but if you are aiming for a specific type of diet, you will likely find amenable food items here that would help with it. They have the unique selections of goods that you just don't really find anywhere else so coming here may be necessary - even for a short run. The part I really do not enjoy when I come here is the parking. It is inside a rather older and smaller shopping center that has been here for decades. They are trying to redo and uplift the place, but the parking lot just does not keep up. The lanes are smaller than usual and there is just so many people at any given time of the day. It makes coming here a bit stressful even more so than Costco. I have almost gotten hit several times and people squeezing through cars with their bags or carts put a scratch on my car. Now, if I ever have to come here, I just park far or in the back. The traffic light closest to this place is a bit long and it takes some time. However, the inside it rather nice. It is well lit. It seems big, but when compared to their other locations, it is actually smaller. I only come here when it is absolutely necessary.

    I love that they put a Trader Joe's in the area! Before, I would have to drive to Rockville pike if I wanted to go to Trader Joe's. It's a small grocery store, but don't let the size fool you. They have great snacks and their prices are really cheap because it's mostly Trader Joe's brand foods that they sell there. The produce is fresh, and they have seasonal flowers at a great price. I personally love their cookie butter-it's made out of speculoos cookies and it's AMAZING. Their vanilla and chocolate macarons taste like they came from a local bakery. I also love their frozen aisle section has a variety of vegan/vegetarian options to choose from, and is even paleo friendly. I saw that they have frozen cauliflower crust to make pizzas from. This will definitely be my go-to neighborhood grocery store from now on!

    A new Trader Joe's right by my neighborhood. I would give this 5 stars, but man what are they going to do about parking in that small shopping plaza? You have to come here when it first opens, before all of the other places in the shopping center opens. The place inside is nice with wide aisles and friendly staff, as the other reviews had mentioned. But man, I don't know why on earth they picked this location with such limited parking!

    This mac n cheese is everything! Please keep them all year around!

    They sadly closed the Gaithersburg location which is near my home but it's conveniently close to my office which is a huge plus for any last minute lunch ideas! I was lucky enough to find parking in front of the store (warning: the parking is hideous in this shopping center). Spacious and organized, it reminds me of the TJ in D.C. I've never had issues with their customer service before until yesterday. I came up to a young girl and asked if they had more of the corn and quinoa salad in the back since there was only one left on the shelves. She didn't bother to check and told me they ran out and it'll be fully stocked in the morning. I'm always about getting a second opinion and asked another employee. He was nice enough to check the stock in the back. He came out with five salads and I explained what just happened and that it was unacceptable. This location has only been opened for a few days and I didn't expect the lack of customer service on her part. I'm a loyal customer at Trader Joe's and I was a bit disappointed with this experience. I just hope this doesn't happen again!

They have many foods, snacks, and drinks that you cannot find in Hmart and Lotte. I bought some Japanese snacks that I grew up eating, as well as a specific brand strawberry - green tea that I haven't found in any other local Asian grocery store yet. I also found more flavors to a specific sparkling drink brand that I like and haven't found in any other local Asian store yet. Interesting fact, some of the Japanese snacks that I grew up eating were from this Chinese grocery store that no longer exists in Chinatown, DC. They brought back memories and nostalgia. This shop is small but you can find so much around and in between the aisles and shelves. Our family enjoyed looking at the bowls, eating utensils, beauty products, and hello kitty stuff (my daughter specifically). Service was so friendly. They gave my two little kids each a piece of Japanese gummy candy. My kids were so happy.

The store is pretty good quality, otherwise I wouldn't be going a few hours out of my way to shop here. Things are tidy, neat, organized and lots of great selection for such simple things as soy-sauce, especially if you are a connoisseur, which one becomes if you are Asian and into cooking. Being a vegetarian, there are lots of choices in fresh veggies and fruits, and great Asian choices. There are also aisles for tea, noodles, and cookware. My problem is that their checkout system is not sufficient. I cannot help noticing that in DC Metro all these Asian stores hire a high proportion of Latinos. They work at the counter and in the back and number more than the Asian workers. Having come from an Asian small grocery, everyone my parents hired were Asian. They offered pay to Asian college students. They know that Asian-Americans would like to work, and can do at least as good a job in sorting, processing, cashiering. My mom was a very good cashier when she helped out. They can stand the work for long hours just like in China. But here, they are NOT giving enough of those kinds of opportunities to Asian-Americans, even all the college students in UM or MCC who would also love a PT job. Specifically, I became angry because a Latino couple stood behind me and was bum-rushing me at the counter. They tried to cut in front of me, but I pointed out my place in the line. I had just as small a basket of items as they did, so they should have been willing to yield, but they were not. When it came to putting things in my shopping bag to take out, the Latina cashier barely helped me. Then I had to pay, but the Latino couple was trying to crowd me out, since i like to stand right in front of the register to receive my change, which I have a right to. Instead they objected to my wanting to stand at the counter table. Then when I was rather slow putting things away, they sort of made a jeering comment about it. This really caused me to blow my top. How many times do I come to a Latino grocery store and am very patient and pleasant? How many times do I put up when the fellow shoppers refer to me as "China" and the cashier is a tiny bit edgy? They never hire Asian Americans to work at any Latino grocery stores that I know about! Never! I never see them cooking in the back, doing packing work, or cashiering! As for Indian grocery stores, it is also totally out of the question! They also proudly hire all of their own to pack, sort, cook, bake, their Indian cuisine! Asian-American businesses cannot even have the dignity of hiring all Asian workers many of who would love to work. Instead, they have to cater to corporate America and hire just so many Latino and black workers for their stores, and whether this is due to DEI is perplexing. Again, I never see that Latino/Black grocery stores are hiring any Asian American workers. That simply is not required so it does not happen! So these corporate pressures push Asian Americans who are more average students and from the lower-income towards crime and towards the underworld. They even have to work at nail-salons where they have to slavishly cater to the whims of women pretending to be mistresses and subject to all manners of abuse. From there they can fall victims of cancer, and rape, and much worse as they cater to the whims of disgusting creatures hoping for their moral downfall. This would be less if Asian Americans stood up for themselves by having all-Asian businesses like they do on the West coast, and where the authorities still respect and honor family businesses and allow them to hire as many of their own kind as they wish, because I absolutely refuse to believe that Asian Americans young or old would NOT want to work at these Asian supermarkets if they were given a chance! Just look at all those Asian housewives shopping here! They are so quick and grabby and focused that they just swim through the cashier line and never mind anything. They certainly would not mind some jeering by a few mouthy other minorities! Failing this, then the other option for older disabled Asian-Americans being bum-rushed and treated to Spanish conversation at this store at the check-out counter, is to PLEASE CONSIDER PUTTING IN SELF-CHECKOUT COUNTERS. I pointed this out to a manager, but he said all he can do is report any problems with checkout to the owner. CVS, Target, Walmart, and many other stores have gone Self-Checkout and it is to help accommodate shoppers since these self-checkout offer more space and a bit more time as well. There is nobody standing right behind you crowding in on you and talking up to the cashier. They can go to almost any other store in this region anyway and find a few Latino grocery stores to shop and play bum-rush at the checkout.

On the TV above Customer Service, there was a coupon for $25 off your first order of $50 as an Amazon Prime member. I scanned it and successfully added it to my Amazon account. See the Tips at the bottom for more info on how to Return items. The store is smaller with the aisles more narrow than normal. With the people shopping for others with their big carts and restockers, it took some maneuvers to get down the aisles. The produce looked fresh enough and shelves were stocked on a Thursday evening at 5:30 pm. On Jan 22, I picked up on sale eggs with a sell by date of Jan 29 and regular price guacamole with Feb 8. I look at dates for the first and items farther back, and it seemed that those were the longest dates I could get, so sell by dates seemed to allow less time than some other stores. I picked up mostly items from the shelves that I tried to find on sale. I noticed a smaller selection of brands in the toilet paper and other areas. Example of price differences: Idahoan instant mashed potatoes 4 oz - $1.00 at Amazon Fresh; $1.89 Giant; $1.27 Walmart. 8 oz for $2.50 Amazon Fresh, $3.69 Giant, $2.82 Walmart - yes, it was .50 cheaper to buy two 4 oz bags at Amazon Fresh. With it being a small store, the long line for self check-out with the staffed checkout line was one. I almost walked out and left my cart due the number of people in line and needing to be somewhere else in 15 minutes, but most seemed to migrate to self checkout, and another staffed checkout line was opened, so I was able to buy my groceries in time. For my three bags of groceries, it came to about $75, but I got $11 off - so $64 which was about $20 - $30 less than when I buy three bags of groceries at Giant. I entered my phone number which got me the sale price but I was NOT able to get the $25 off the $50 first order, since I didn't have time to download, install, and login into the Amazon app at checkout. I didn't have my Amazon card with me, I thought there would be some QR wallet code within the Amazon website somewhere but NO. Tips: 1. Install and login to the Amazon app BEFORE you come. 2. If it is your first time shopping, go to Customer Service and wait and see if there is a coupon on the TV screen that you can take a picture of for additional savings. 3. You can look up the store and see the in-store deals. 4. Bring your Amazon credit card just in case. 5. Amazon Prime members, get $10 off their first Amazon Fresh store purchase of $50+. After that, they get $10 off every monthly on a $100+ purchase only in the stores. YOu need to clip the virtual coupon on the Amazon Fresh site, and it expires. 6. When you enter, the Return area is at Customer Service to the right. It can get crowded with people coming to get their groceries and carts getting wheeled out while you are standing in the line. There is a self serve kiosk where you scan your return QR code against the small screen below. I wasn't able to get it to scan and got help. A label prints from below. If you don't have a bag, there are bags to put your item in then affix the label. A large mailbox style drawer opens to put your package inside, then locks after you close it. Overall, the produce and shelves were stocked fine for me to pick up the staples I wanted and better prices than other grocery stores. Dodging around the big carts with the shoppers who were shopping for others and other shoppers even not crowded made it less enjoyable but for the savings on staples, I might come back periodically and even try the Dash cart next time.

Good thing I accidentally went down the ice cream aisle. I swear it wasn't on purpose! Ended up with some burbon truffle ice cream and some whiskey chocolate ice cream too from Haggan Daaz. The store seemed very clean, the store wasn't crowded ( for some reason this store never is), and the plexi glass in between you and cashier was a nice little added layer of security. The produce I ended up getting was really great actually. The broccoli is great quality, I got collard greens ( the bunches were huge), and I also got some clementines and grapefruit which were both sweet and tart. Solid quality on the veg. Definitely might quarantine shop here again. Solid choice.
