Love the location. Typically has every item I'm looking for...unless it's not in season. Gets very crowded here and in the parking lot on Sunday's. I adore the flower selection here! It doesn't miss! read more

Trader Joe's my kind of go-to-store where most of your basic needs, is all there. Trader Joe's is special for its curated, unique, affordable, private-label products, fun Hawaiian-themed atmosphere with friendly "Crew Members," and a less overwhelming selection that encourages discovery(like I did). It houses the viral and still trending esp in Asia(Philippines) canvass tote bags. I love the other tote and reusable bags too.. They have the viral Ube ice cream. I love love their vanilla bean yogurt that has less sugar than the honey. Gooseberry that is seasonal. I hope they can get it with the dried flower bulbs(?) still intact. Also, making grocery shopping an engaging experience rather than an errand or a chore. They focus on quality, often avoiding artificial ingredients, while keeping prices low by buying directly from suppliers and their no-coupon policy. Meaning their itemized amount are already, everyday low cost They have an area too for pet food for both the dogs(esp their dried potato yams) and cat treats I love their cheeses. Their apple sourdough with cultured butter Blood Orange drink in a bottle, which was recommended by my daughter. Pls try their smoked paprika too. There are a lot of flavors and things to discover and try. Just like life, it's never ending trials. Though some(like their produce) is unfortunately limited, I don't mind. I still love going to Trader Joe's anyway Ps I didn't took pics of my grocery or the other items that I got. Sorry read more

Finally getting use to the new layout and there is a lot more room down the aisles. Employees are very friendly and no matter who you ask a question to, they will lead you to the item without hesitation. Customers definitely come first at Trader Joe's. Ok, bye. read more

UPDATE 1: Review #25 2025-072 I remembered my first Trader Joe's visit in S. Pasadena near the pro shop that I worked at; I loved their inexpensive 3-cheese pita sandwich for lunch & dinner. Since moving to the South Bay, Trader Joe's (refer to Review #853) is my go-to for grocery needs. Initially it was easier going to the Hawthorne Blvd. location because it was en route home from work, now this PCH location is our preferred stop because I'm working closer to home. I sometimes dread going to TJ's & tasting the daily sample, falling in love with some, only to have it pulled from the shelves later, & I'm left heart-broken because I can't find it elsewhere. My current loves: Kerrygold Irish Cheddar with Chili Peppers (great for burgers & hot dogs, extra kick in mac & cheese, or potato skin topping), Soft Juicy Mandarins (this dried fruit snack is so addicting; I call it fruit crack!!), Ghost Pepper Potato Chips (it's not that spicy in comparison to an actual ghost pepper), Chicken Chili Verde Burrito, Blood Orange Mochi (love blood orange desserts!), Mixed Berry Lemon Curd (vibrant blend of raspberry, blackberry, black currant, & citrusy lemon... great as a spread or hidden dollop when baking muffins), Organic Toasted Sesame Dressing (love the savoriness), Rainier Cherries (plump, juicy orbs of sweet). Both kids are older now, but still enjoy looking for the plushie to earn a free lollipop. Once in awhile my 9 YO may ask for stickers (usually near holidays because he likes the themed ones). Prices are competitive & inline with the regular supermarkets, whereas earlier years Trader Joe's was more affordable. Customer service is awesome as always... whether it's assistance locating an item or taking returns because of quality/freshness, Trader Joe's got your back. read more

This Trader Joe's is so well stocked and organized. It is the largest Trader Joe's I've been to and is ALWAYS full of customers .. doesn't matter if it's morning, noon or night. And yet, the employees (team members) manage to keep restocking all of the items. The food choices are great .. pre-packaged (ready to eat) to the frozen to the meats. I love it. Always clean and the team members are always ready to answer any questions and lead the way. Thank you! read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Torrance, California

I have been coming to this store for over 15 years!! I have came in on a regular basis and built relationships with many employees. They have watched my children grow and it warms my heart how sweet everyone is. A lot of my fav employees have left. But my most fan fav now is Kate! she is so loving and so pleasant. I went in the other day with my 7 month old baby my cart was full and when I paid she refused I go out alone and escorted me to my car. Kate is truly a genuine and happy soul! I'm the type of person to deny help. She insisted and I'll admit it was much needed. Thank you Kate for being amazing and great at your job! You read the room correctly!! Trader Joe's is lucky to have you !!! read more

Everything is great here. The fresh vegetables, fruits, pasta and much more. Easy designed aisles to find what you need. And low prices for sure. My favorite grocery store. We ship there often as we are always out of something. A good feeling when you leave knowing you did not empty your wallet. read more

Love this store but, have hard time getting their Feta, it's hit and miss. Majority of their products and produce are spot on for quality. read more

* This is my favorite Trader Joe's & mainstay for weekly shopping. *Their fresh fruit & veggies are the best quality amongst all the local TJ's I've visited. *They're close to home & have that super cool laid back type vibe. * And I also like the management here as they're ultra friendly & professional in caring for the customer. * And the location is stellar for a quick & easy peazy shopping experience. read more

Fun new products and lots of energy with employees working hard to bring out new stock. Our cashier was fantastic and got us in and out on a Sunday busy afternoon. They had people giving out samples. The pumpkins and fresh flowers always make me cheerful. I am happy to be shopping here read more

This is a great store to find the unusual snacks, cheeses, packaged meats, fish, and produce.

One of the more larger locations in the southbay area. I love to come to this Trader Joe's during the early weekend because it's not so crowded. The aisles are larger so it's less crowded. This location is always fully stocked and staff are really nice and helpful. Feel free to make this your one stop shop area as this store is in a shopping mall with Nike, and other eateries and shopping stores. Highly recommend! read more

As always, amazing customer service! Thank you Bianca and Donna! very clean and spacious location. Always stocked with all the best stuff!

Thank you to Rodrigo for the wonderful customer service! He went above and beyond. He made sure we didn't worry about anything during our quick grocery trip. read more

Haven't been to Trader Joes in a while, and when I visited today I was amazed at how different everything looks now! They knocked down a wall and expanded which resulted in sooo much more space throughout the store. The aisles used to be so cramped especially during peak hours, but now you have a lot of room to wander all the snacks and knick knacks TJ's has to offer (without the worry of bumping into someone). Grocery shopping just became more enjoyable! This Trader Joes is located in a prime spot in Torrance so it gets pretty busy but there is plenty of parking. And when you're done grocery shopping you better hit up Pinwheel Bakery before their pistachio croissants sell out!!! read more

The store is great especially since the recent remodel. There is more room to move around and shop, which is nice. The employees are generally nice and friendly. Although, there is an employee who recently hit me, seemingly on purpose, with a cart while he was working. And since then he makes me uncomfortable when shopping, so I do what I can to avoid him. His name is Grayson per his namtag. He's very abrupt and unfriendedly and I honestly don't understand how he is still employed there. read more

Always good selection of fresh produce. Trader Joe's brand is often better than named brands. Staff is always helpful and are knowledgeable about stock. Parking here is sufficient. read more

My go to store that's near me or on the way to the gym. It is just as busy and thank God for a huge parking lot. customer service is the name of the game here and can't complain. I would like to complain to bring back my favorite coconut yogurt alternative! But i ill pretend to stand by the beach waiting by the sunset till they bring that back. read more

Trader Joe's - New products section. - Grocery Near Me - Torrance, California

All employees working there amazing! The customer service is fantastic! I highly recommend you to do grocery shopping from there.

This is usually the TJs I frequent because it is always clean and the staff is always friendly. The location is great and parking is plentiful for the most part. The plaza has a Nike and Sidecar donuts so you can peruse after or before shopping. I have never had a bad experience at this location and will continue to recommend! read more

We are big time regulars at this location. We wanted to praise Brie and Edgar as wonderful employees. They are both so very nice and happy. They make shopping there so fun. Great job! read more

One of the managers Brian was extremely rude. We came in to ask a question about returning an item and he looked at us as if he was agitated because we accidentally interrupted a conversation he was having with someone and his response was very unprofessional and it seemed like he had a attitude. We work in customer service and we understand the importance of giving great customer service and understand that Trader Joe's is an establishment that speaks so highly of their customer service and yet they have managers that are very disrespectful towards people of color as this is not my first negative encounter with him. read more

Trader Joe's is a fun, supermarket that has the best gifts, foods, flowers, teas, greeting cards, desserts, coffee, mints, water, shopping bags, gummi candy, juices, energy shots, etc. When I shop at Trader Joe's it feels like I am on a grocery hunt- checking out the new products and picking up my favorite foods. I was blessed to meet Kate- I was looking for a few items and she helped me locate some and told me when the others would be in stock.. Kate you're great and I am glad that I met you today, thanks for your help!! If you want to know the funny, full of life and bubbly duo seek out Adrian and Laura both are full of comedy, talkative and well rounded!! The conversation was great as my bags were packed and my order was scanned!! Trader Joe's has the friendliest employees, until next time Trader Joe's!! read more

Some of the frozen foods have seemingly been defrosted and then refrozen. You can tell because the boxes look like they have been wet and crushed. Be careful. This is a health concern related to microorganism growth due to extreme changes in temperature. read more

Love the selection and such kind and friendly people. I can always find great healthy food options. Amazing prices and they have TONS of unique items that you can't find otherwise! Recommend! read more

Called this Trader Joe's and Matt answered. He informed me that they were out of an item I needed but called around other stores until he found it. This was so incredibly helpful and that level of service is not found at every grocery store. This is one of the many reasons I love shopping at Trader Joe's. Way to go Matt read more

Trader Joe's is my hero for not raising prices when all the other markets doubled in price after Covid (today is January 2025) this review is long overdue! Bird flu was found in chickens and many had to be put down, so eggs when this happens go up around $6-8 per doz. Trader Joe's keeps prices low and so they were sold out of eggs this month, but it's ok I still need to shop there for Lactose free milk, for 3.99 when everyone else is charging $5-6 per quart. Thank you for not gouging us and helping our families! I LOVE YOU TJ's!!!!!! I appreciate all the efforts and you are SO darn good at offering just the right things in the right amount inexpensively!!!! There's no need to do any kind of sales because the prices are always reasonable!!! No stupid coupons needed, or membership fees! The selection is amazing! To be specific, they find things I LOVE and make copy cat cheaper versions of it and sell it at a fraction of the price like See's Candy molasses chips! I think it's like $15 at Sees you can get the copy car TJ version for $3.99 or something like that. The desserts and appetizers are all easy to serve when you have sudden guests and it never disappoints! I have a pantry full of TJ pastas I get linguine for a buck still when all the other places even at their lowest charge about $1.50. Staple foods have not gone up when everyone else jacked up their prices so now it's a lot less to shop there. And I trust the quality. Thank you for being our true friend and neighbor! I'm Japanese and my family and friends all love your tote bags too, I have to buy out half the store every time I go home they all want your cute tote bags, in Japan they are called Eco bags. I recommend you make smaller ones that can be used as lunch bags they will go crazy over those. And they also love the vintage designs, like on the baking flour! , Also grapefruit hand sanitizers smell great and make perfect gifts to take to Japan. I hope you know how many are flown across the ocean!!!! And we all know you hire the best employees! Every cashier person is unbelievably kind and cool. Where do you find them?!?! We love you!!! Xoxoxooxoxoxoxoxxxxxxxooooo Domo Arigato!!!! read more

Trader Joe's - During fires in LA January 2025, very quiet in there, but they stayed open (about 20 miles from the nearest evacuation center zones) - Grocery Near Me - Torrance, California

Located off PCH in Torrance in the Rolling Hills Plaza parking is shared with all the other businesses in the plaza and it's gets crowded in plaza during seasons times. The store is smaller it seems in compared to the other Torrance location it may be just the way it is lay out. The staff is friendly and willing to help. Overall a good place but like most TJ it can get crowded inside. read more

The good: I got sour jelly beans and they were definitely super sour! I love their frozen foods section and the international cuisines they offer (Greek, Indian, Korean, French, Italian, Salvadoran, etc.). I got tomato burrata ravioli that was super yummy. The prices are affordable and portions are smallish so it's good if you want to sample something or if you're feeding a small group. The bad: There was a whole row of frozen food stuff that was empty. There was a cardboard sign that said "ask staff for help with items here" but I don't know what items are supposed to be there to begin with so I wouldn't know what I'd be asking for. There were no St. Patrick's' day specific food items. I was hoping for some themed cookies or snacks but I didn't see a single item that was specific for the holiday. The interesting: The cashier was super peppy and hyper. She spoke fast so I barely caught what she was saying. It seems like cashiers are required to mention an item then like and/or don't like as much every time at cash out. read more

I was so happy to see a TJs when we went to dim sum nearby recently. I told my relatives that I would like to stop by and get a few items on our way out. The store layout is pretty similar to the ones I shopped at in SF. except for the cashier lines which seemed a bit clustered. Very friendly service. 5/5! read more

I've always been a TJ's fan. This one is located in the Rolling Hills shopping plaza which gets very busy. I visited shortly after the store opened on a Saturday morning and found a parking spot around the corner on the PCH side. As other yelpers have pointed out, this one is on the smaller side. The aisles are not spaced particularly well at this location. So for me, the Torrance Hawthorne Blvd location is my preferred location. There were two employees at the checkout counter, one cashiering and another helping bag. Both efficient. TJ items are standard as typically found in a TJs. There are helpful and polite employees on the floor assisting customers and restocking. The store is clean and they have protocols in place. For example, when it is your turn at the checkout, you have to stand at the floor marker until it is time to pay. Overall, this is one is A-OK. read more

Where do I start. Nothing but amazing things to say about the staff here. They are always so nice and helpful here at this location. The times I've needed something and they don't have it in stock they go check the back. Their store is very clean and always kept well stocked, the times I've needed flowers for a gift or a gathering/Party I get them here cause they are fresh and amazing selection. This is always my favorite spot cause the conversations are always great! read more

The best with their new set up everything is so much better. The place is more spacious. It is very easy to navigate all of the aisles. I really really like Trader Joe's. I start with my bananas maybe some veggies then heading onto the meat department. It's very well stocked dairy eggs. It's looking amazing. Staff is always helpful. Very very nice staff. I really like this. Trader Joe's is way better than Whole Foods. Definitely! read more

We are pretty big regulars here - These team members are all really, really nice to us - Logan, Tanner, Albert, the young blond girl with the great smile (don't remember her name) and the manager that works in the night with the great smile (don't remember his name). They make our shopping experience both easy and fun one. We have other stores to go to, but we always pick this one. The store is well organized, clean and neat and the customer service of everyone is great. Thanks for being so awesome! Jasper and Vo (the crazy hat guys). I would definitely suggest these team members get a little extra recognition. read more

Typical Trader Joe's that they recently had renovated so it doesn't feel as crowded as before. However they are still missing price tags on many items. Staff are super friendly and nice. Prices for produce are definitely higher than other grocery stores but they have other unique items and products. read more

Twice I have bought dairy products in recent months from this Trader Joe's location, and got them home to find that they had already gone bad several days away from the expiration date. Berries are often moldy as well. They can't be trusted for food safety. read more

Trader Joe is my go to place for food; especially this location! They have recently enlarged the space and make it very comfortable to walk around & shop. My favorite food is the whole wheat pita bread with pockets. Another of my favorite food is salads. They have so many choices that you can pick; you will never get tired of it. Also like their fair trade organic Colombian Coffee!!! I will also buy their coffee creamer (French Vanilla) for my coffee. Absolutely delicious!! What I appreciate most is their cashier is alway well mannered, courteous, and polite! read more

Shout out to all employees who are always so pleasant! Cashiers consistently nice. Staff on floor always willing to help and go check if any products in the back when ever something is not found on the shelves. Sure some things are not always as fresh or stocked up; but my 5 starts is for the staff who still makes it worth it to go there week after week. read more

Hello, I always buy from this store Trader Joe's and I put up with them for a long time because I finally want the products, but today I got to the point of putting up with it more. I was in line, the boy saw me and moved to help the other cashier. They were laughing and looking for me with their eyes to see where I went. I reported it to the manager and he did nothing. I felt discriminated against because I was a Latina and because of my age, I am an adult of 60 years old and I am not going to allow this abuse. I am not asking for more than that they punish the one who did it. read more
