Love the Trader Joe's in Warwick! Great selection and staff always attentive and helpful. A big shout out to Paul! He went out of his way to show all his favorite items and even passed along some recipes. read more

Trader Joe's can definitely have some hits and misses, but that does not stop my love of trader joe's. It is the one of the best places to get snacks that are cheap. And snacks are very important! Especially during those down days...like a snow day, rainy day or a regular "everyone's got COVID, let's stay inside" day. I have never encountered any issues here and the customer service is always great. If I was a billionaire and could build an extension to my place, I can only hope that it could be as bountiful and full of snacks and fun sauces as this trader joe's is. read more

Great florist and produce department. You can find unique items that you don't find in your every day stop and shop... All the employees are super nice and go above and beyond for guest satisfaction. Worst parking lot on bald hill road though and the store is small... I will go back during off hours read more

I love this place. They are always super helpful and make terrific recommendations. The variety is amazing. The frozen meals are delicious, low priced, and healthy(ish). They have lower fat and sodium than the leading brands. I love the fact that when I go there, there is always a familiar face working. They also seem to get along and are professional in their interpersonal work dynamics. I love this place. In fact I am headed there right now!! read more

I love this Trader Joe's ! I travel from Ct. just to go here. The employees are always friendly and helpful and the products are great. I wish there was a Trader Joe's closer but for now I will keep coming back to the Warwick location! read more

Trader Joe's is great store but they need to hire new staff that embodies customer service and is kind to all people. It is a shame to feel the obvious racism in a causal shopping environment. The staff who is an older white lady ruined my shopping experience when I tried to move my cart so I am not in the way of others but to her I was "in her way". She aggressively pushed my cart even farther away and gave me a look. I grabbed my cart back to turn it around and she bumped into it huffing and puffing, not considerate enough to say excuse me or sorry. A moment later she greets a white gentleman with all smiles. Thank you for reminding me to not shop here and find better stores. Good luck shoppers! (If I can give the store a separate rating - 4.5 stars for fresh produce, variety of cultural foods, and friendly products.) read more

My favorite grocery store!! Their peanut butter granola is the best especially when added to their Greek coconut yogurt!!

We love Trader Joe's. Only wish there was one closer to us. We always buy certain items here and try to spot new and interesting products. Their cards are also worthy and only 99 cents. The staff is friendly and helpful. They guarantee customer satisfaction. Shop here! read more

We've already established in previous reviews that I am well versed in all things millennial, and Trader Joe's is decidedly the grocery store of our generation. I am a longtime Trader Joe's fan, having been spoiled during my time at Emerson College by the neighboring location on Boylston Street in Boston, but ever since coming to Rhode Island, I have to make do with a road trip to the only location in the state all the way out in Warwick! However, the quality and variety of products plus the low prices make it more than worth my while! This location is bigger than the one in downtown Boston, and about the same size as the Brookline location for you Bostonians who are in the know! It's also less crowded than the city location I know and love, even on prime weekend shopping days. I am pleased with the larger aisles and open layout because there's less of a chance that a Sunday night shopping excursion will turn into a brawl over the last bottle of Everything Bagel seasoning! They also have a sample table where they let you try a new product every time you go in. Tonight's was an awesome creamy tomato soup that I never would have fallen in love with if I couldn't try it first. I bought two packs of it! The produce is fresh, the frozen items are creative and tasty, and the desserts are crowd pleasers for when friends come to visit. Also, how can you not love a place where a week's worth of groceries costs less than sixty bucks? I love cooking for myself as much as the next person, but some nights (especially rehearsal nights), I just can't EVEN, and Trader Joe's prepared foods have been a lifesaver! Check out their awesome salads (I love the Vietnamese Tofu Banh Mi Bowl) or burritos (Chile Verde Pork for the win!) for quick and easy weeknight meals that are healthy and filling. I could probably live on Trader Joe's products - that's how much these are staples in my weekly meal repertoire. The employees are super friendly and down to earth, and always willing to lend a hand. I find that the customer service is better at Trader Joe's than at literally any other "big box" grocery store in the area, and honestly, that's what keeps me coming back time and time again. read more

Love this location! I feel it's a bit bigger than most, and it is always very clean. The staff is friendly too.

I drive 40 minutes once every 3-4 weeks just to come here. I make it a point because of consistently above AND BEYOND customer service. Coming in with a fussy toddler and LEAVING the store with a super happy kid tells any parent this is an amazing place to shop. One time a worker walked into the isles just to give us some stickers and recently someone let my toddler help scan items. This made the kiddos day. The store workers are truly incredible people! read more

I drive 30 minutes to grocery shop, whether I go to Warwick or the one in Foxboro and I am never disappointed, so many options both for clean eats AND cheats and the employees are always helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable! I go at least once a month to the Warwick one to re-fill my freezer!! Whole foods buys at Shaw/Stop and Shop prices! read more

We are thrilled there is a Trader Joe's 45 minutes away. We loved ours in Darien & Stamford, CT when we lived there. This one is just like those; great people, excellent service, delicious products! Can't be beat! And in a terrific area with tons of other stores, restaurants & a mall. One stop shopping! After months of Covid isolation this is an extra JOY! read more

Trader' Joe's is great. All kinds of good and different things to eat can be found here. The produce selection isn't the best but what they have is extremely good and their snack section always has a wide range of trail mixes, various nuts and chips. On my last trip I picked up a bag of goat cheese potato chips. A big mistake but it was pretty neat that they had something like this. I like Joe's much better than whole foods cause the prices are actually reasonable. Yeah the location sucks that's why it only gets 4 stars, but it's still a great place to find good things to pig out on. read more

Anytime I'm in Warwick, I need to stop here. Love their selection of organic foods & alternative snacks. Would never to be able to do a complete food shopping here. But, I certainly stock up on several items while I'm here. Friendly staff. Clean store. Not outrageously priced like other similar stores. Wish they were closer! read more

A typical well run TraderJoes. I see with a couple of the reviews people complaining about the staff or the covid interaction etc. well I have never had a problem with the staff in this store. That said their are other Joes that have more accommodating staff, but it has never been a problem here. Their are a couple of quirks that are not the best. Foremost is parking, not a good situation however difficult to fault Joes for that. Also if you are familiar with other Joes you are aware that the size is on the smaller side. I have not enumerated the products you will just have to go to see the selection which is very good. A line sometimes to get in but manageable in a difficult time. Worth checking out. read more

Oh how I love Trader Joe's! I really wish they would open another location in Rhode Island in the Providence area. I like how you can get quality, vegan foods here much cheaper than at Whole Foods. Some of my favorite things here are the soy vanilla ice cream, the frozen penne arrabbiata, the veggie burritos, and the banana bread. read more

Awesome grocery store! Healthy, organic, all their trade name so you cannot beat the prices. I love coming here for my grocery staples. Sure, I occasionally have to go to Stop n Shop because they don't have a particular item, but it's well worth all the other delicious, wholesome, and sometimes hard to find ingredients I get at TJ's. The customer service is outstanding. Everyone is super friendly and laid back and you feel welcome. Great fresh produce, some from local farmers which is a nice touch. Plenty of vegan options, which is nice for me. read more

I have been known to compare Trader Joe's to Disneyland. For me, it's one of the happiest places on Earth :) Every item in the store is void of food dyes and corn syrup. Their selection of everything from cheeses, to nuts, to produce and frozen foods offers a wide variety at great prices. I am rarely disappointed by something purchased at Trader Joe's. On top of that, the staff is very helpful and friendly (partly why I compared it to Disneyland). I am also eternally grateful for the lack of lines at this Trader Joe's location. After living in NYC and waiting in lines that literally wrapped around the entire store, this Trader Joe's is so convenient and (minus the alcohol) still boasts the same selection as other metropolitan locations. Definitely one of my favorite grocery stores in all of RI. read more

Literally the best time to come to Trader Joe's is right after lunch and before the 5pm drive from work. Odd hours but while browsing around on my day off, gotta say it was refreshing not bumping into 20 people in a single aisle. The selection though in this particular TJ's is outstanding! They always try to keep their inventory well stocked and there's always a store associate willing to help you find your item or at least suggest an alternative. This store is clean, the plant selection is a dream, and the associates are friendly. My favorite place to shop for affordable, health conscious groceries! Also the Kringle is my favorite. read more

Find the lobster, eat the samples. Buy the whole wheat crackers and peanut puffs. The gyozas are off the chart amazing. read more

Usually a really pleasant experience at this location- everyone is extremely friendly and helpful, store is clean, and there's hardly ever a line. This location is a tad smaller than other TJ's so they may not necessarily carry all the items you expect or that you need (just in case, there's a Price Rite and Target not too far away). Docking a star because it's somewhat inconvenient to have to stop by multiple grocery stores to get everything on your list. A note- on a few especially busy occasions (the last Sunday of a holiday, the day before school/work starts up again), this store has been quite chaotic and understocked/understaffed. All said, Trader Joe's remains one of my favorite places to shop! read more

I stopped here to pick up a few items. I was very impressed with there produce and how clean the store is. The blackberries were huge!!! I'd go back just for them!! It's smaller than the whole foods but still has a great selection of organically grown produce. It's worth the 30 minute drive. read more

Always an adventure when you go to TJs. Going on a weekend should be avoided if you can. Place gets jammed up with the wanderers, the vegans and clueless. It's a fairly small store so a lot of customers + carriages makes for a not very enjoyable visit. Catering to the "crunchy" crowd provides you with a selection of items that you may not find in your average grocery store. Quality goods and worth the trip, in most cases, but I advise you to make your shopping experience mid week so you can see more of the store, get less frustrated and meet the friendly staff. read more

Trader Joe's on Bald Hill Road is, (in my humble opinion), a very small market as markets go nowadays. No, this not a criticism, it actually is the basis of me complementing the store .. The space is well used and items are displayed professionally. The staff is attentive and goes well out of there way to help if asked for it.. The fresh veggies are always sorted and those items that are past their prime are culled out regularly. Yes, prices are competitive. I decided to write a quick review after going there on a very very busy Sunday afternoon. The entire parking lot was full. Upon entering it looked like they had a rock star signing autographs. My initial reaction was that I thought it would take forever to get out of there. I only needed a couple of items. But I decided to enter the fray.. I found my items easily, approached checkout and to my amazement, even though the lines seemed long I was out of there in a very timely manner. Hats off to the check out crew that day . They seamlessly moved people thru checkout at breakneck speed all while smiling and engaging patrons. Will I go there again . You bet! Will I concern myself with the store being busy? Nope.! Do I really care it's small (in comparison).. not in the least.. Give them a try. You will probably like it.. any criticism ....yeah just one thing : cups for FREE coffee are to small.. I have to keep going back if I want more than one cup.! (Just kidding here). It is unfortunate though, that the State of Rhode Island won't let them sell wine like their sister stores in Massachusetts. It is nice to have a Trader Joe's in this neck of the woods. 5 stars on on this one! read more

Despite being the only Trader Joe's in Rhode Island, this location isn't overwhelming in any of the ways one might expect it to be. In fact, it's rather humble and a little on the smaller side when it comes to a popular convenience/grocery store. When you enter, you'll be greeted with a variety of flowers and bouquets on the right and then straight into the produce section you go. Large bags of nuts and dried fruits are on the shelves to the left of the produce. My favorite things are (in no particular order): - The adorable 1-3 serving size vegetable baggies. Whenever I'm looking for cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, salad mix, or fresh tomatoes, Trader Joe's has got it. I love that I am able to just pick up a small bag of pre-cut cauliflower florets or choose between individual tomatoes if I so prefer. - The $1 pasta! A great deal and so many fun types of pasta to choose from. My selection is usually always the bowtie. - The $3.99 pre-ground coffee. Whether you're into dark, medium, or light roast OR if you like to grind your own coffee, Trader Joe's has a surprisingly large variety of beans for every coffee aficionado. - The frozen pork gyoza. It is such an easy, quick meal to make and it tastes great! Nearly identical to the ones I grew up eating. - Snacks galore! My personal picks are the sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, dried mandarins, crispy crunchy chocolate chip cookies, and roasted coconut chips. Affordable and great to bring home if you live somewhere with no Trader Joe's. TLDR: Yes, Trader Joe's is absolutely worth the hype. Each time I visit, the workers ring up my bag of groceries and I gawk at the price, thinking, "that's it?!" If only there were a store closer to Brown's campus... I'm telling you now, Trader Joe's finance team: it'd be great for business! read more

I'm a California transplant and we love Trader Joe's and we're delighted that there was one in Rhode Island! Same layout and great prices. Been there a half a dozen times and I feel a little different about this location. There is not that great service that I was accustomed to back in Cali. For the most part the crew there seems entitled and not overly friendly. Maybe I was spoiled but the sample person always ignores the customers and I always get a forced greeting in the checkstand. Hey.... still love you guys and I know it's busy but I'm in the grocery business also. Please work on the service! read more

It's a nice busy little joint but it's definitely not my cup of tea. They don't have a good spice selection at all and that is a big thing I shop for when planning a meal. The food is kind of expensive for what you get. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Not many options for meat though went there for chicken breast they didn't have any so I came home with a beef roast but I do love that they have the baby colored potatoes and the beef bone broth. Not many options for bread . I will most likely not return to be honest. If you don't have a family and are only shopping for yourself then this place is for you. They also give you free cheese and crackers. The fruit selection was great and I was excited because my 2 year old and my huslove their fruit. When I got home I was extremely mad to find moldy strawberries in the midfield the pack and then the blueberries where just as bad. read more

I love this place for sure -- the produce is fresh, the frozen food section has amazing selection, and the cheese shop is just fabulous. A wall dedicated to nuts/dried fruits and another for chocolate? Yes please. Prices are amazing and the staff are beyond friendly. Here's the thing -- the meat section leaves a lot to be desired. Also, being in RI, there is no alcohol. Boo to the hoo. Sometimes I travel to Mass just to get this feature. It's just too bad. read more

The store was clean and inviting. When you first walk in you'll notice their beautiful selection of flowers, plants, and herbs where you'll notice they sell at very decent prices. The employees are genuinely friendly and very helpful. Fresh produce with lots of options. Prices are also very affordable. read more

I absolutely love this grocery store! They have awesome deals, great prices and super friendly staff! What I like most about this place is that they have unique finds that you wouldn't normally find at your average grocery store. I come here at least once a month to stock up on the products that they don't sell at the other stores. Organic red Lentil Pasta is just one example of the many food items I love from this place. read more

I love going to Trader Joe's when I'm in the neighborhood where there is a Trader Joes! I truly wish there was one closer to Fall river instead of having to go to East Greenwich Rhode Island or towards Boston to shop at a Trader Joe's! So I make it a treat when I see one to stop in and do some shopping and thank goodness I have a freezer so I can stock up in case it'll be a long time before I can go again. I think they have the best honey Cheerios and I love the chocolate covered almonds with sugar and sea-salt and of course their vegetarian wontons or potstickers. They have a lovely selection of organic vegetables and fruits in a nice cheese section also can never pass up the apricot white sharp cheddar cheese Plus you have to get the good edamame crackers or the Rosemary cranberry crackers to go with the cheese. If you're searching for a great bottle of wine they have a wonderful selection and very nicely priced too. So when you see your Trader Joe's, pull over and go in!!! read more

See all

Very nice Trader Joe's with lots of space. I was especially excited to discover that they have a really nice selection of skin care products here, unlike the Trader Joe's that I normally frequent in Boston. I was so psyched that they carried the Rose Water Facial Mist I'd been looking for! When we visited on Sunday they were offering a nice selection of cheese for sampling as well as coffee. The only drawback of this location is that there is no alcohol. Aisles are nice and wide, however, unlike the ultra cramped location on Boylston St in Boston. read more

I'm not a frequent flier here, but have been here about a half-dozen times over the past few years, so it's about time to add my impressions of Trader Joe's on Yelp. Initially, I was torn between whether I should give them three or four stars, but then I realized: A) I can't really compare them to other supermarkets, because they are quasi-unique for a chain; and B) They are the only Trader Joe's in this small state, so they deserve props for that. Therefore, I have to give them four stars, and rightfully so, I believe. I would not do the bulk of my grocery shopping here. For one thing, they lack a deli (although they do sell pre-packaged sliced meats). Also, they lack seafood and butcher counters, although you can certainly get those items pre-packaged too. And, if you're looking for brand names, fuggedaboutit! They sell mainly their store brand. Nevertheless, I think Trader Joe's really shines in three areas: frozen foods (both selection and quality); snack foods; and floral. There is a large variety of frozen foods, both raw ingredients and full meals, and prices seem reasonable for the quality. TJ's also has some creative snacks that you won't find elsewhere; some of their cookies are downright addictive and should come with a warning label! And prices for plants and cut flowers are surprisingly affordable, according to my wife. Why I considered giving them three stars has nothing to do with the products they sell, but rather, the shopping 'experience'. Probably much of the reason I don't frequent TJ's is that I try to avoid Bald Hill Road due to the traffic. Furthermore, TJ's is located in a large plaza, so the parking lot is chaotic. Finally, the store is fairly small, but it's almost always busy, so I experience mild claustrophobia - or, at the very least, sensory overload. Another negative for me (yesterday's visit really proved this) is that toddlers often run amok in the store. They have tiny kids' shopping carts (which another reviewer thought was a bad idea, and I agree). I was perusing the packaged deli meat section when a toddler somehow flipped his cart over and fell to the floor right next to me, and then proceeded to cry as he hugged his momma's thighs. Yikes - too much drama! Then, when I went to checkout, a cashier had to (gently) scold two toddlers blocking a checkout lane as they were gawking at something on a low display. Don't get me wrong - I don't hate kids - but please, parents, keep 'em under control, and please, Trader Joe's, get rid of the toy carts! To end on a positive note, the employees at Trader Joe's are friendly and upbeat, if a bit quirky, and there are never long checkout lines, because they will call more employees to the front before that happens. read more

Amazed by how kind, calm and considerate the entire staff was! The greeter was very polite and friendly. When I couldn't find an item and asked a staff member if he knew where it was (he was in the middle of stocking) without hesitation he stopped what he was doing and safely walked me right to the item. The cashier was also very polite/kind. The most pleasant shopping experience I've had since Covid-19 began. Go Trader Joe's!! read more

What a great place with friendly staff! As with any Trader Joe's, there are many choices to choose from. This one just happens to be in a convenient location with ample parking. The lines were a bit long, but the efficiency of the cashiers made them go by pretty quickly. read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Warwick, Rhode Island

First things first: I've been a New Yorker and a San Diegan. What does that have to do with a review of the Warwick Trader Joe's? Well... a lot, actually. It means my standards for TJ's are high, as both SD and NYC were full-boat, liquor-licensed, big-ass stores with everything one could need for household and kitchen provisioning. That said... this TJ's has many pluses. They have a fabulous frozen-food section, and their peanut butter granola bars are the tits. Selves are always fully stocked, and they carry the TJ's staples (such as the vodka pasta sauce, gruyere-onion-pancetta flatbread, and various snack chips) I've come to know an love. The staff? Super friendly, as usual. I don't know what they're doing at TJ's to create such a happy work place, but I hope they keep on doin' it, cuz they're doin' it well. My complaints? The produce leaves something to be desired, and the meats are only so-so. Other than that, I'm a fan. Yay. read more

Top 15 Reasons Why Trader Joe's is Absolutely Wonderful: 1) You absolutely will NOT find more helpful, caring, or friendly staff anywhere in Rhode Island! Plus, no crazy, noisy loud-speaker system. All you will hear is the staff members calling to each other, "Help on the way." or "Man overboard!" Quite refreshing & non-intrusive. 2) They keep an immaculate, incredibly well organized store - Including a nice assortment of toiletries, supplements/vitamins, protein powders (even organic hemp) and several fine pet products too. 3) They've got the most delicious, naturally sweet, preservative-free coconut milk for only .99 a can. Great for those who are dairy-free. Can be used straight or you can add it to an equal part of spring water, add stevia or honey, some cinnamon and you've a got a fantastic milk for your coffee or tea. To *die for* in smoothies too! 4) There is something for everyone: Vegans, vegetarians, some gluten-free items, and an incredible assortment of fresh & frozen cakes, pies and other specialty desserts only available at Trader Joe's. 5) You'll find a very big nut and dried fruit section...both raw, roasted, conventional and organic. The preservative-free organic Apricots are my Mom's favorite. 6) Oh,oh,oh the chocolates!!! Chocolate-covered-EVERYTHING - even sugar-free chocolate for those who are diabetic, at far lower prices than other stores. 7) I absolutely ADORE their check-out system: You know how other customers sometimes enjoy crowding you from behind when you are trying to get your stuff onto the conveyor belt, pay for, & then bag your things? Well, at Trader Joe's, there is no *conveyor belt*! The cashier takes your things OUT of the carriage for you and you are actually allowed to pay for and bag your things in peace! This system forces the normally *rude* people to stay out of the way until you are done. What a novelty! I don't know what their initial intention was in setting up this system, but it works. 8) You will ALWAYS find many lines open at once, even when it's super crowded, you will GET out FAST! Plus, it's conveniently located on RT. 2 in Warwick, so plenty of other shopping trips can be made to others stores if you wish. Parking is fantastic also...I always find a spot, even when it's super crowded, since you can always just walk a shot ways. 9) The floral section is lovely, fresh, and very affordable, plus you can pick up a card for only .99 -- great in a pinch! 10) Coffee lovers will rejoice...stellar selection and some organic roasts too. 11) Finding what you need and getting out in a timely manner is actually possible here! Why? They've laid out this store to be quite shopper-friendly. They do not bombard the aisles with clutter and displays like many stores do. The aisles are actually for *customers* and the carriages...again, what a novelty! 12) I also love that they have just what you need without having SO much that you become overwhelmed making a decision...this adds much to the stress-free experience of shopping here. 13) Okay, this might sound silly, but they have a GREAT ventilation system in this store...the air is always fresh and actually rejuvenating...really! 14) If you ever are not feeling well, this is the place to go. If you need help getting your things to your car, they cannot wait to assist you. Such kindness goes a long way in making you feel better. 15) Lastly...you might not believe this, but I swear it's true: One day, there was a cash register computer error that was taking quite some time to clear up. They were all so incredibly apologetic and I certainly didn't mind waiting, as things like this never happen here. Well, the manager was so concerned over the inconvenience this was causing that he pulled out his OWN personal credit card and paid for about 55.00 worth of my things and sent me on my way...he insisted! I paid him back as soon as I visited next and I know he did this because he realizes that I'm there all the time. Yet, WHERE else in RI would this ever happen?? Thanks again, kind Sir, if you are reading this. :) read more

Great store for many specialty food items. I don't go here for regular grocery shopping trips but it's a great spot to pick up some of my favorites, albeit random items. I love their sweet plantain chips, tea tree shampoo, conditioner, and tamales. My kid did miss the mini kid carts, we haven't been able to find any during our last couple trips. read more

When I first moved to Rhode Island, I made it a point to find all my favorite stores in the area. As I mapped one place after another, I realized that I was forgetting one place: Trader Joe's. So I walked over to my new neighbors and asked, "where is your nearest Trader Joe's? I really need to pick up some cheap awesome food!" Ok the last part I didn't say but I did ask. And was I flat out told that there was no Trader Joe's here. We have 2 Whole Foods a block away from each other on the east side of Providence and we have no Trader Joe's? I don't believe it. "Oh, well it's in Warwick. No one goes there. It's too far." Rhode Islanders. 3 years later, I myself have yet to go to Trader Joe's where I frequented every week in Virginia. I finally made an effort to go down there only because I had to pick up a package at the Fedex store and it wasn't ready yet. This little store (and boy is it little compared to most other places) is situated within a strip mall area. I guess in Rhode Island you're not allowed to sell wine in now alcohol stores which is a pity because well, that is half the store. The produce was there but not nearly as varied as some of the other larger stores I have seen. Being the only TJ in Rhode Island, you would expect it to be THE place to go. I was a little underwhelmed. They were otherwise the store you remember with all its cheap awesome foods, snacks, free samples and what not. Cashiers with Hawaiian T's and all the reusable bags that you can buy. Plenty of parking but in the early evenings, you'll be battling with all the other people trying to come here to do their shopping. I see why now people stay on the east side to do their grocery shopping. It's too far, too much hassle. I still come periodically for my vanilla flavoring which I think is by far the best that can be found at a commercial store. read more
