    This Trader Joe's in south Tampa stays busy and the parking lot stays packed, I went in the early afternoon on a weekday and there was still a line of cars to get into the parking lot. The wait wasn't long though, as everyone seemed to grab parking spots fairly quickly - there's a pretty steady flow of people coming and going so the parking surprisingly wasn't too difficult to grab at this time. As pretty much every other TJ's store, it's very organized and laid out in a similar manner. The employees were extremely nice (one of my favorite things about TJ's all together is the wonderful customer service and how great the employees attitudes are). I found all my favorite food items that I was looking for and I also found a few new items - I don't know if all the stores stock the same items in the same quantities but I felt like this store had some better "snack" items than the one I typically go to.

    I love this Trader Joe's location because the staff are always so helpful and kind. The parking here is horrendous and I avoid coming here unless it's a weekday morning. If you plan your visit right this can be an enjoyable place to come grocery shopping. I never had trouble finding anything and it's always a good time coming by!

    Trader Joe's is popular across every state for a reason- they have a great selection of fresh produce, frozen foods and other groceries, along with some household and other items. All at really reasonable prices. This Tampa location is nice, and has everything a standard TJ's has. One of my favorite part is always the flower wall they have when you first walk in. Such a nice variety of colors and types and just makes you feel a little lighter looking through them. Something I'm not so much a fan of with this location is the parking lot. It is way, way too small for the amount of people that come through. You have to pretty much get lucky to find a spot, or drives in circles until someone leaves. I can't believe they still haven't tried to do something about this. If you are a fan of chocolate & fruity together, I also recommend trying their chocolate covered orange sticks- a very odd sweet treat but super addicting and satisfying.

    Love going to Trader Joe's. Always fun seeing what's new. Try the green power juice! Servers are always friendly. The ambiance is the best -flowers, music, and more!

    It's hard to find anything wrong with Trader Joe's inside their store on W. Swann Ave. in Tampa. However outside does present a problem that most stores would envy. I am referring to the fact that there are usually more shoppers there than there are parking spaces. To be honest it's probably due to the fact that there is not land sufficient to accommodate a larger parking area. That said, most shoppers feel the visit there is worth the time it takes to find a spot. Having recently returned from a vacation in Italy, I knew I could stock up on my Italian favorite foods I could only find at Trader Joe's. Imagine my surprise while in the frozen pasta section, I spotted an item that had recently been featured in most Italian restaurants as a new blend of a few ingredients that render a sought after meal in Italy. I am referring to a special pasta dish called Cacio Pepper. There it was, already packaged and ready to warm and eat. The few ingredients added to spaghetti that make this a favorite in Italy are a creamy sauce, Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper. Already combined and all you do is open the package and enjoy. At the risk of everyone rushing to empty the freezer section of this culinary treat, I will share two more of my favorites for those so inclined to tempt their taste buds. Gnocchi al Gorgonzola and Mandarin Orange Chicken also in the freezer section. Add to your visit at Trader Joe's, great customer service and prices and you will not mind the search for a parking spot.

    I love that they are always stocked with fun holiday items! Today I went to grab a nice flower bouquet as a hostess gift. They had a beautiful arrangement with pine sprigs to give that holiday feel! It's always cozy and inviting at Trader Joe's. I'll keep going back for the unique items and quality stuff!

    Visited at night during this trip. Parking lot much easier to maneuver but the selection of flowers at night is slim pickings. Immaculate, hospitable & friendly service. Scandinavian swimmers are available here which in my eyes is the best gummy product in the area.

    I have to give a shout out to this Trader Joe's - the staff and super friendly and personable. They have absolutely no issue helping you find items when asked. They have a great selection of items and flowers. The last two sets of hydrangeas I bought there lasted 2 weeks! Recently, I had an issue with a package of fruit I had purchased there and they happily gave me a refund. The store is clean and well stocked. Take a trip to this Trader Joe's - you won't regret it (just make sure to wear your patient pants, as sometimes it takes time to get a parking spot - but to me, it's well worth any wait)!

    These r so good. They remind me of the Thai Temple. Just throw them in the air fryer.

    Love Trader Joe's still and all of their restaurant style varieties. I love the majority of the food I have tried too. The worse part here is the parking lot. This seems to be pretty common of Trader Joe's all over. My fave Trader Joe's in the area so far is UTC Sarasota for the space of the parking lot. Also, I always find what I am looking for at The St. Pete location. The original Sarasota location appears to have the widest aisles.

    I love shopping at Trader Joe's for specialty items and for a lot of household items that are cheaper there than in the regular grocery stores. The parking is not so great most times of the day due to the size and staff isn't always helpful or friendly, but they do a good job of having items at a good price so I guess I deal with it. Some items that are cheaper and better to get at TJ's are: Rice and Pasta Jarred sauces, marinades. oils, and seasonings. Juices Nuts and seeds They have the BEST gluten free bread (and muffins). The fresh cut flowers selection can not be beat in variety and price (especially Peoniesin the Spring). I just wouldn't advise buying the orchids, I have bought many and I am a long time orchid lover, these do not last long and they rarely re-bloom and tend to be smaller in size aalso. Seasonal items obviously are the best as well as their frozen foods. Home goods and self care also is unmatched. They have a lot of "dupes" for example, the Italian dressing literally tastes exactly like Olive Garden Italian dressing, but it's organic.

    Trader Joe's is one of my go-to places for healthy foods at great prices. Large selection of fresh produce, friendly staff, and the store is easy to navigate. Pros: Produce and fresh flowers are consistently excellent Cons: the parking lot is small Overall:5/5

    Our favorite place for Turmeric Juice. Everytime we went we cleared that item, and its a weekly juice that we buy. This place have a few of rare fresh product such as "baby corn and baby zucchini" it is to die for... And of course their huge variety of flowers, specially orchids ar affordable price.

    TJ staff held it down!

    Does Trader Joes have motorized carts?

    I've actually never seen them there or anyone using one either.

    If TJs were just one more grocery/specialty store, sure, shop elsewhere based on potential parking hassles.

    2nd time visiting and it is never enough time to go through the whole store lol this was at 3:30pm…read more I first stopped at the Korean beauty store and bought myself two things. The two ladies were so nice and one helped me pick out sunscreen that was similar to another brand they don't carry. They even gave me a free face mask with my purchase. Second stop with the bakery place and got me a matcha. It wasn't the best matcha I've had but wasn't the worst. They had so many baked goods that I had to just keep walking because I would've spent some moneyyyy in there. Next, I hit up the small food court and got me a Korean corn dog (just sausage, no cheese because.... Well Iykyk) and it was so delicious. I'm still thinking about it as I'm laying here in bed. Lastly, I walked around and got me some unique flavored chips and drinks along with some Ube flavored items If you love Asian food, snacks, drinks, skincare... this is your place!

    I finally got to go back and experience everything without the crowd. It's still a strong 4. Food…read morecourt is optimized where you order from the kiosk so that was quick and easy. The only restaurant not participating in that was bbq Korean and no one was at the front so I guess no business for them. Plenty of fruit selections as well as meats and side dishes. Snacks and pots and cookers -- it's everything you needed before you knew you needed it. Loved the selection and prefer this one over the Orlando location, it's still just too far out but great prices and got what we needed and wanted.
