    I love shopping at Walnut Creek Trader Joe's, have been for many years, although the customer service is horrible. Due to egg shortage trader joe's made a sign which I attached below. "Kindly ask 1 dozen per purchase" is an OPTIONAL favor the store asks, it is not MANDATORY. The manager William was extremely unprofessional and rude when I wanted to purchase 2 dozen. He refused to sell me 2 dozen and stated " I don't care" when I said I have a big family. If you want customers to follow a certain rule then make it a MANDATE not an OPTION. Maybe manager needs to know the difference.

    I've been here a few times and each time I go it seems to be very organized . The parking lot can be somewhat hectic but like much other parking lots in Trader Joe's. Most importantly this Trader Joe's is always well stocked no matter what time I go in , I like their products as they are natural and cater to me and their healthy snacks are wonderful too I find my fave items there all the time .

    I love Trader Joe's so much! Specifically this location. My only complaint is that I don't think they are doing a great job removing spoiled food from their shelves. I went shopping yesterday and went to grab a bag of asparagus, and almost every bag was brown and mushy. I bought these overnight oats and took a bite this morning and some thing tasted off. I checked the expiration date and it expired on July 30, today is August 13. I never leave yelp reviews however almost every time I go it's difficult finding produce that isn't spoiled and spending money on expired food was the cherry on top for me. I'm posting this hoping a store manager or someone can see and improve the store.

    Oh my Lord! Real bits of chicken, cayenne pepper sauce, and vinegar and garlic flavor. Add cream cheese, sour cream, and Monterey Jack.

    We had an appointment for our dog to get her shots at Pet Food Express next door so I did a little shopping while we waited.

    Green Fish Seafood & Grocery is a mostly Asian supermarket that offers a variety of things from…read moremost places, though, after going there it's apparent it's mostly a Chinese market. It's located on the borderline of Walnut Creek and Alamo-ish areas, and certainly not in an area most people would be driving by unless you live in this area since it's mostly residential here, or you're driving through Olympic locally for something in that direction that's not the downtown. First things first, it's a small place. It's a local market, so it's not going to be very large. They do have their own parking lot in the front, and there's also plenty of parking in the back as well, so that shouldn't be an issue here even though the store is small. While I've seen some people note this as a Japanese market, it is not. While they carry a small section of Japanese stuff, here, most of the things are very much a Chinese focused type of offerings, from the types of produce, to the packaged stuff here. They'll have some miscellaneous stuff like a section just for pastas and sauces in the right side of the store on a rack, they're mostly a Chinese market. If you need a comparison, they're like a mini 99 Ranch. Price wise, it's about right for this area. If you compare it to other grocery market chains it's definitely not comparable, but for a local market in this area, it's not bad. The fish is indeed on the more expensive side, but it does look pretty fresh at least so there's that. They also have some to-go sushi boxes of stuff. It's nice to see they have a variety of offerings from their sushi to-go options, albeit, not cheap but at least they did look pretty good though. The sashimi boxes looked great because the fish quality appears to be great here. The only thing again, it is a bit pricey for some of these options, so just be aware of that. Green Fish is a nice little market for this area, and certainly will have a variety of things here you may be interested in. Again, it's not a large market, so just be aware of space if they do get busy. The fish counter is literally wedged into the corner of the store, but still offers fresh seafood options for those locally to buy from (albeit a bit pricey). They have offerings of various things akin to 99 Ranch, but certainly more focused on mostly Chinese and Japanese as oppose to Ranch that offers a lot of different Asian brands too. While they have pastas and sauces and stuff, that's basically it for the non-Asian market stuff. This is very much an Asian market. I will definitely want to try out some of those takeout rolls and maybe their sashimi eventually.

Fortunately, the food inside lives up to the '80's music. This place is a little Eastern-European treasure chest. The meat selection alone is worth the trip: excellent veal sausages, proper kabanosy (both American-made and the legit European imports), and enough smoked and cured options to make you reconsider every bland sandwich you've ever eaten. Then there's the sweets. Not just a few shelves: an impressively deep lineup of Eastern European treats, both loose and packaged. The kind where you walk in thinking you'll grab one thing and leave with three mysterious chocolates and something wrapped in gold foil. It's also my most reliable solution for a sudden Żywiec beer craving. And if that's not the mood, there's always a jar of pickled mushrooms waiting patiently. In short: a small, charming deli that punches way above its size... and yes, I still sing the Kate Bush song every single time I go.

This time, though, I wanted to try something different, so I went with the chicken and mushroom filling. It was also very tasty. One thing I really like is that they focus more on the filling, and the bread is not too thick. It always has that slightly greasy goodness in the best way. So yummy. As much as I enjoyed the food, my interaction with the woman working there this time was not great. When I arrived, she was unpacking a box. She saw me but did not greet me or ask if I was ready to order. I stood there awkwardly for a few minutes before she finally asked. It would have been nice to be acknowledged right away. I ordered two different fillings, and when she was packing them, I asked if she could please label them so I would know which one was which. She responded by saying, "I wasn't going to make you guess." I did not find that very friendly. In fact, I thought it was borderline rude. I still really enjoyed the food, but that interaction took away from the overall experience a little bit. I wish the customer service had been a bit warmer.
