    One of the smaller Trader Joe's locations. Free parking. Have more selection of plants/flowers at front entrance. They have a good selection of groceries and snacks. Friendly and helpful staff. Quick at checkout. Halloween mini totes available right now!

    I stopped by this location on Sat, July 13th right before 1:00 PM, and boy is this location small. Stock: They seemed to be well stocked when we came. I got some salads, apple cider vinegar, greeting cards, grapefruit hand sanitizer. The store is pretty tiny so all the aisles are close together. It is hard to get around the store with your cart and the amount of people walking around. Customer Service: The guy who helped us was nice, but nothing out of the ordinary. I have yet to experience my I had a bad day, they gave me flowers kind of ordeal but oh well lol. Parking: Small! Super small. We got lucky with a spot when we came by! All in all, I might just try to visit other bigger locations next time. I was getting anxious from all of the people in the store at one point.

    This location is always super busy and parking can be a challenge, but the customer service and great product selection make up for it. I stop by here and there to grab snacks and occasional grab lunch for work. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. I picked up some of the peanut butter cookies and they were everything I was hoping they would be.

    This is my go-to Trader Joe's. The parking is better than most others; the cashiers have always been friendly and helpful; I shop on my scooter and some even helped me organize my food so that the Vespa very warm over-engine storage could be used for canned goods vs. perishable salads. While this store is smaller than some others, shelves are always fully stocked, and staff is helpful if an item cannot be located. Overall, I'd recommend this store over most others. Stay-tuned, a newer, bigger version of the SPas store is coming to Fair Oaks/Mission very soon. Lastly, one-star reviewers, please find another place and Ralph-Kroger yourself elsewhere!

    I love this Trader Joe's. I'm here several times a week. But the almond butter (both kinds) has been terrible lately. Tastes spoiled.

But today, Friday 2/13/26 @ 8:25 am, the self check out section I received the worst customer service I've experienced in that location of Ralph's. Doing my self check out and my register froze due to bag getting caught on conveyer belt, I waited to be helped and patient, but when I saw the Rep taking care of the issues in line, I asked or stated excuse me, since I was not acknowledged or attended to. Even with the light blinking on my register, this Rep was taking care of other people that had issues after my issue happened. The answer I got was "I'm taking care of people in order" no she wasn't and I got nothing but attitude even with her scanning her badge to clear my register. I will not be going to that location anymore, and as a consumer, I can go spend my money to any other grocery store. But I chose Ralph's since it's convenient but with crappy attitude and service from that lady I will not go back again. I rather drive further or out of my way to another grocery store then to be treated poorly or have bad service like I experienced.

    Came by Sprouts in Alhambra to check out their deli sandwiches and honestly, this is a really solid…read moredeal. Sandwiches start at just $4.99 and they use Boar's Head meats, which already puts it above your typical grocery store sandwich. You can choose from their preset options or build your own. I went with a turkey sandwich on sourdough with all the add-ons, and everything tasted fresh and satisfying. They'll even toast the bread for you, which makes a big difference. What really stood out is the value--you can load up your sandwich and still keep it under $10. They also have combo options where you can get a drink and a bag of chips for $5.99, making it an easy and affordable meal. Quick, convenient, and budget-friendly. Definitely a good spot if you're in the area and need a simple lunch.

    See hilarious review below by Robert H!…read more I would like to add my 2 cents on the sandwich situation, which depending on the time of the day you hit up the deli, can be very dire. The older Hispanic ladies who make the sandwiches in the morning = amazing. Love them. They are warm, kind, quick, and attention-detailed. The sandwiches they make? Literally chef's kiss! Heaven on earth! Now onto the men who the make the sandwiches later in the day. Complete night and day. Watching them make sandwiches is like watching Down Syndrome people compete in the Special Olympics or the infants race in those baby crawl races. No directions, no focus, no sense of urgency. Think of the slothes working at the DMV from Zootopia. They talk to each other. They stare at the sandwich order print outs. They make the sandwiches haphazardly. And they still get the sandwiches wrong! How can you make sandwiches wrong when the pace has been so leisurely?? In conclusion, can Sprouts please please please, for the love of God (or the universe if you're an atheist), hire more ladies to work during the lunch times and evening times?!

This location is at The Shops on Lake Ave in Pasadena. Parking garage is conveniently nearby just next door. Staff was so friendly and nice especially the gentleman standing at the front greeting everyone who walked into the store. Thank you Sir! Outside patio area available for chilling and dining. Great inside space was bright and clean. Aisles were perfectly stocked and organized. Deli had so many freshly prepared hot and cold foods. I don't think I've ever seen so much pre-packaged foods. Food galore at first sight. My eyes widened by the section. It was like being in a food amusement park. It was really fun to peruse the aisles. So very cool! I couldn't choose with so many options in front of my eyes, but I did end up buying half a pound of Nolan Beet Salad, one container of chicken breast lemon herb, and one container of tumeric rice. One tiny gripe, the prices were outrageously high on certain food items... $20+ per lb. Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and indulge a little on healthy clean foods. I was okay in spending over $26 on my small lunch meal. It probably won't be a regular thing though. Beet salad was delicious and light. Beets were very sweet... I'm getting one pound next time. Chicken was a bit dry... probably won't get again. Tumeric rice was pleasantly soft and tasty... worth getting again. My future visits would have to be longer so I can immersed myself in all of its organic-ness. I want to try their pre-packaged salmon plate, sushi, and of course, more sweet beets. I'm sure there are other foods I can indulge in. Yes, I'll be back despite of its pricey cost.

However, the rest of the workers seem to have tunnel vision.

Be prepared to bump into people there and have workers always in the way of your shopping.
