Don't need to review their products since all the locations are the same, so will review this location for customer service. The staff here is so helpful whenever I need some new wines to try. If someone can't answer, they always seek out someone who can. Another example of being helpful- I bought a Malbec and during checkout, they asked if I tried a particular brand (which I can't recall). He left his station to grab it just so I can see the label and recommend the brand to try if I enjoy Malbecs. Naturally, I ended up buying it, which was really good. read more

2 x per week customer, spending at least $600 per month here. I have been here since the day the opened and was with them when they were across the street in the little corner (which is now Grocery Outlet). Very well run store, well stocked. I only gave it 4 stars because they have a few poor excuses for employees. Grumpy checkout guy Glenn- This is a special shout-out to you. You are old enough to know that basic etiquette is the foundation for the job, which you clearly have zero. Throwing items all over, in protest of bagging a lot of product is no excuse. You sir, are a Douche of the highest order. Call into corporate today. read more

4.5 stars Funnily enough, we have been to this plaza countless times over the years for Cafe Rio, but have never been to any of the stores (i.e. Trader Joe's, 85C Bakery) until a few days ago. This Trader Joe's (TJ's) is one of the biggest that we have been to. I am not a fan of the parking lot, as it is all one way aisles, and with only one main exit with stoplights. The staff are all very friendly, as with all TJ's locations and the layout is also similar to all other TJ's locations so it is very easy to locate what you are looking for. If not, there are employees all over the floor so one could flag them down to ask. The shelves were well-stocked and employees were constantly restocking as we were shopping. TJ's always offers seasonal items and it is such a treat to see them back in stock. The store is well lit and we love the convenience of restrooms for their customers as well. Prices are always reasonable. Almost all the registers were open and we were helped quickly. read more

The good: -Lots of creative, atypical, yummy grocery items better than most supermarket equivalents - Mostly friendly, helpful staff - good prices on dairy, eggs, and staples like honey, pasta, spices, snacks, etc. - Awesome seasonal, ethnic goods - Mostly cool employees The bad: Their bags - especially if you have milk and the bag handles rip off The packaging - some items like blister peanuts are in cheap plastic bags and need to be stored in another container after opening. I have been a Trader Joe's customer since the mid 80's (at their former Santa Ana location on Main St.) Have always loved their many unique, value for the money and delicious items. Having traveled to many of their locations from the Bay Area to Las Vegas, and most OC locations, this is one of my favorites. First, the parking is decent except for the busiest times (Sundays, before holidays), etc. TJ's parking is never that easy but some locations in LA and the valley require driving around the parking lot several times and fight for a space. Here, you might have to park farther way but never is there no parking like some locations. My last few experiences were quite good with the cashiers and stock people. Whenever I've asked where an item was, the stocking employee walked me to the exact place it was. Sometimes they ask how my day has been going and have a pleasant small talk without hindering me or the line behind. The last time I bought some eggs, the cashier noted a barely visible small crack in an egg carton. I was the only one in line and the next thing I knew, another carton of perfect eggs replaced the one I had. Some items I have been buying for years, especially the frozen items like pork bun (theirs does not have red dye), shumai (sp), pot stickers, Belgian Waffles. tamales, etc. Love their many types of honey and maple syrups, too as well as the salsas and pastries (have visited some oi their contractor salsa and bakeries), and Honey Greek yogurt for $1. I like their blister peanuts except occasionally the peanuts are stale which I attribute to the packaging. I have tried all of their potato and corn chip items but my nutritionist has convinced me to cut out most of the seed oil fried items. One item I will stop buying is their delicious cocoa powder. It was tested high for lead content. I didn't know this until recently but you can buy a single can of beer that's usually in a six pack. The last one I tried was a German lager which was $1.79 for a tall can. How can you ship that from Germany at that price? Props for them on their seasonal and hard to find items. I enjoy trying the many candies and other desserts like King Bread celebrating Mardi Gras and Christmas items. I found some Kushu tangerines which you typically can't find because they're so delicate. Overall, am a huge fan. One thing I personally enjoy are the many you tube videos of the vloggers finds at TJ's. They keep me up on the newer items. read more

Every Sunday morning, I wake up early just to go shop at Trader Joe's. At a time when prices are high everywhere, I really appreciate that Trader Joe's makes grocery shopping so affordable. Not only that, but their store items are the best! They make cooking easy on busy nights, and snacking so enjoyable. A few of my favorite items: Trader Joe's PB & J frozen sandwiches Olive & Thyme Bread (so good with their Barrata Cheese & Honey) Cinnamon & Sugar Almonds (my sweet tooth weakness) Pancake Mix (Ube Mochi mix is the best!) Mac & Cheese Bites Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola (with milk) Pastry Pups Orange Chicken Lacey's Cookies They just got fall items in, and I'm so excited to try their Apple spread. This Trader Joe's in particular is always organized and the workers are so friendly. There is no other store I'd rather be on a Sunday morning to prepare for my week ahead. read more

Only a 4? What was I thinking? TJ is always great and this location is always well stocked, easy to navigate and has super friendly employees. It's grocery shopping you can actually enjoy. You never leave with only what you came in to buy. TJ is amazing! read more

Great store! I love that they always have a lot of check stands open with friendly and helpful cashiers.

This Trader Joe's is conveniently located in a plaza next to Michael's, a swim school, and some restaurants. There were plenty of parking. There were many customers inside on a Saturday afternoon. It's peonies season! They are currently around $10 per bunch. That's the first thing I noticed - the flowers. Usually, the flower selection is limited later in the day because a lot of it is bought in the morning. However, it looked like they were well stocked. I came here to grab some snacks for a get together. They had a wonderful selection of dips and crackers. The dips ranged around from $2-$5 and varied depending on the brand. I got the carmelized onion, cheddar, spinach and kale greek yogurt, and buffalo chicken dip. They all tasted unique. My personal favorite was the buffalo chicken dip with the mild heat and tanginess. For crackers, they carried naan, whole wheat, soda crackers and more. The cashier lines are very quick and efficient, some of the friendliest customer service from a grocery store. In short, if I would definitely come back here to shop for snacks and flowers. read more

I consider this my home Trader Joe's. There is plenty of parking which is great! Everyone is friendly and I can usually find what I'm looking for. You know, the viral items are hit or miss. ;) They have a wide variety of items and always come out with new items. Also love their seasonal items that you look forward to each year. Prices are reasonable. Yes some items are better at other stores so you just need to know what items you are looking for. read more

This is a well spread out Trader Joe's. Easy to find items that are well stocked. Helpful service. Parking can be a challenge with competing strip mall eateries and other restaurants. Close to the 5 freeway. read more

Their own brand products are one of the best quality when it comes to grocery store brands. And they're always such delicious ones too, especially the ice creams! Lots of organic as well. You also won't see happier, friendlier or more helpful staff anywhere else. And they have really pretty, well priced bouquets. I always really enjoy shopping here. read more

Called them to see if they had a product available, as the item was not available at the Trader Joe's I was at prior. The gentleman told me they had an abundance of the item. When I arrived after traveling 12 minutes, they were completely out. Could they have run out? Yes. But it appears they make claims without verifying. Sad! read more

I was looking for some small treats and saw that this Trader Joe's was nearby. It's a decent sized TJ's and the staff are friendly here. Good selection of everything, like the other TJ's. The restroom is also pretty clean. Big parking lot, so finding a spot shouldn't be too difficult. read more

I love this Trader Joes. It's always well stocked. They have variety of products. Service is always the best...Bubbly people work here. They treat you like an old friend. Asking about your experience and whats your plan of day. The ambiance is very welcoming. There is huge parking lot outside then no worries to find a parking spot. read more

I walked in for "just eggs." Left with 3 kinds of cheese I can't pronounce, a Himalayan lavender candle, organic dried mango I'll pretend is healthy, and emotional stability. The employees? So chipper it makes me suspicious. One guy saw me staring at the freezer section for too long and just whispered, "Go with the orange chicken. You deserve it." I almost cried. The sample station? Dangerous. I showed up for groceries and suddenly I'm standing there like I've never eaten before. One more bite and I would've started tipping. read more

I just moved back to the area and hadn't been to this location yet. Parking here is much better than their prior Tustin location. It is a nice big store. I made the mistake of shopping midday on a Saturday though. Place was a zoo compiled of shoppers and workers stocking shelves. They had everything I was looking for and more! My cashier was also very sweet! Can't wait to come back during a less busy time. read more

It is a Clean location , servers are helpful and not different from all other locations as they get busy, I enjoy their food. read more

Last week I got a bug-interested bag of reduced salt cashews at this TJ's. I had opened the bag two days earlier and put into a clean screw to jar. While snacking on them later, I saw a niseeum like insect for past, then as teaching for another cashew, saw another bug crawling on top of the nuts. The relish nuts immediately went into the green waste can. read more

Never met a rude Trader Joe's employee until today. Asked an employee stocking where a product was. He responded with "somewhere up there." When I couldn't find the product and asked where somewhere up there was, he responded so rudely and grabbed the can asked sarcastically if that was what I was looking for. Geez. I didn't see it. No need to be so rude. This happened on June 24. Wish I would have told a manager. read more

This Trader Joe's is conveniently located about a mile from where I live. The staff was friendly, and the store was clean. I prefer to go first thing in the morning with my toddler because it's not crazy busy, and my daughter isn't so rambunctious. She liked the stickers she got at the checkout. It made her day, so thank you. If you want Hash Brown Patties at this location, you have to come early. They always sell out fast, like once it's put out, they're gone immediately. I saw the man stocking them, so after he was finished, I swooped in and got three. I never get one anymore because they're hard to get. Other than my usual items I buy, I tried two new items - Ube Coated Joe Joe's and Trail Mix Crackers. You can't go wrong with Ube and Joe Joe's. Sounds like a yummy combination. I can't wait to try it. On the other hand, the Trail Mix Crackers intrigued me because it's unusual. read more

It's my first time going to this Trader Joe's. It was so many people! Can someone tell me if this Trader Joe's is always so busy on Sunday late afternoon or is it because everyone buying Valentine's Day gifts? We got the whole week's grocery here( fruit, veggies, meat, and snack). After I tried for 2 days, I would say their food quality is 12 out of 10, not only organic but also very fresh. Even the Staff was very busy but when I asked questions they still answered nicely with patience. I appreciate that! A great experience. Gonna come on different days. read more

This place is madness! Not sure if its like this all the time but literally theres more workers on the floor then customers! Its 3pm and they got tons of staff unpacking and stocking the shelves! Cleaning sweeping and mopping the aisles. Customers trying to get through the workers just to get their shopping done! What a nightmare!! 2 workers almost hit me w the dollies! Wth is it always like this?? Dont they clean and stock up the shelves before and after hours? Terrible service and dangerous environment! Someone can get hurt! read more

The service was top notch. Trader Joe's staffs at this location were very happy to see clients and they were very helpful. I came here tonight and got all food and stuffs I need. Their parking lots is huge and very easy to find parking spot. The store is well organized and very clean. They deserve 5 stars from my heart. Hope my review makes you guys smile for this holiday season. read more

I love TJ's but this location needs better planning with their procurement team. There's been way too many instances where things run out or where the produce are old- and I'm not talking about the hot seasonal items. The TJ's on Culver is much better stocked. read more

A lot of different items can't fine any store I prefer corona store because nicer people's

Love going to Trader Joe's. I feel like this one is more organized and clean. This one has more flowers in stock even later in the day.

Great service & food selection! Fresh produce & very friendly & helpful workers. Recently remodeled so more inventory added! I love their theme - Managers are called Mates, Workers are Crew members & I think they call the head manager the Captain! They do offer some prepared foods for quick easy meals & salads, etc. My favorite sections of the store are their cards & flowers including orchids & cut flowers & succulents. They are great for gifts & reasonable prices! Cards are only .99 cents! read more

I love shopping here!!!!! I used to be under the impression that Trader Joe's was very expensive until one day I gave it a try and man was I wrong. I love this store because they have mostly everything & it's very organized and clean. Staff is always very helpful & willing to help you anyway they can. I really enjoy that they have enough staff to check everyone out during busy hours so there is never a long wait. All of their produce & poultry is always very fresh. read more

Trader Joe's has been one of my happy places for a long time. Besides looking at all the new goodies and grabbing my usual faves, I will specifically come here for the chicken, milk, and water -- especially being a student teacher on a budget right now. Trader Joe's service is always tip top and I love just walking the aisles, funny as it sounds. One thing I miss about it though is the fresh coffee samples. It just made the shopping vibes complete. But that doesn't stop it from being one of my favorites places. Love a good TJ's run! read more

I absolutely love Trader Joe's, great quality produce at decent prices. Stopped by recently during my lunch break as I was craving some "Gone Bananas" (if you know, you know & if you don't get on the know) & also this delicious salad & for a decent price. Trader Joe's has many things to enjoy, but what I really enjoy about stepping into Trader Joe's locations is how friendly the staff is. I'll be stopping by more often. read more

I love everyone who works here. Saw a woman stealing a ton of food and putting it in her red backpack. She arrived with an empty backpack, she was holding it like a baby, and put bananas it. It got filled and heavy and placed it on her back by then...She had a pink quilted jacket tied around her waist, and was trying to stay close to ppl with shop carts so it looked like she was with them. Or innocent. I glared at her and she moved form me. I work retail, and just wanted to buy and go home. Take care of the people who work here. Their fabulous! read more

This location has a better parking situation than the Santa Ana and Orange locations. I was in town and picked up a few cheeses and their candied pecans for a charcuterie board. Their candied pecans are addicting and aside from the regular charcuterie cheeses their beer cheese is REALLY good. It's spreadable cheddar cheese and this is also addicting as well. They were fully stocked with all of the things I needed and checkout was very fast. read more

After getting my hair cut in this plaza I suddenly remembered this Trader Joe's location was here and I needed to pick up a few items that we only find at TJ's. Since it's in a fairly large plaza, parking is a cinch. My first impression was that this store (as opposed to many other locations) has large, spacious aisles; plenty of elbow room. All the usual products are found here. To my eye this TJ's has a much larger wine selection than others. Blue corn chips, maple syrup, bananas, lemon curd and frozen croissants were a few of the things I purchased. I did my best to stay away from the plethora of treats they stock...at least until I lose a few holiday pounds. Check out was quick and efficient. read more

Big clean store, would have been 5 star if I could get some kimbap, limit should be 2 not 5!

Trader Joe's always has an excellent selection of products including very fresh produce and meats. Trader Joe's in Irvine is a favorite primarily because they have an abundant supply of parking, and the store appears to be larger than others that I had visited in the past. The store is clean, well stocked and there are many friendly helpful employees available to assist you in finding products or answer your questions. Besides all of the basic groceries, there are plenty of cookies, candies and delicious snack items to choose. There are also many nice canned and boxed items that can be picked up for a quick gift and plants to decorate the house. Shopping at Trader Joe's has the nice vibe of a community store with just the right interesting products. read more
