Good trader joes! Easy to get to and usually they have parking. They have everything stocked up usually.

I've shopped at this Trader Joe's on 8611 Santa Monica Blvd for years, and the main reason I consistently chose this location over others was its large refrigerated beer and wine section. It was a standout feature. Cold white wine, champagne, and beer ready to go made this store worth the chaotic parking and crowds. That entire refrigerated alcohol section has now been removed and replaced with fruit, which makes zero sense from a customer experience standpoint. The alternative, a few warm bottles randomly placed near the cheese, is not a replacement. Selection is limited, availability is inconsistent, and the wine is never cold. There's also no beer. This change completely alters why people shop here. In West Hollywood, chilled alcohol is not a luxury, it's an expectation, and plenty of nearby stores still offer it. As a result, I'll no longer be buying alcohol at Trader Joe's, which is genuinely disappointing because it was always a go-to. Trader Joe's built its brand on understanding how customers actually shop. This decision feels out of touch with that philosophy, and unless it's reversed, there's little reason to go out of my way for this location anymore. read more

Trader Joe's - Look at how much room there is? - Grocery Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I go to a few different Trader Joe's stores and this review is for all of them. Every TJ's I've been in has a lively atmosphere, is well-stocked, is staffed with friendly people and is an overall enjoyable experience (as grocery stores go) I can't get everything I want at TJ's but what I can get is specific to this chain of stores. I love their products. I'm a satisfied customer. I'll keep coming back! read more

Today, I stopped by Trader Joe's to pick up a few items and was once again surprised by the condition of the bathroom. It was very unclean, and honestly, it's disappointing to see a space in that state--especially knowing that maintaining cleanliness should be manageable. I also noticed several associates outside the restroom who didn't appear to be particularly busy at the time (though I understand they may have been occupied with other tasks). Still, the condition of the restroom felt unacceptable. One suggestion might be to keep some basic cleaning supplies inside the restroom so customers can help maintain cleanliness if needed. It's not ideal, but it might encourage people to clean up after themselves. I just wanted to share this feedback because it really stood out as something that needs improvement. read more

Trader Joe's - Trader Joe's bathroom - Grocery Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I live in Atwater Village, but drive to West Hollywood for work. I stop by this location on the regular because I very much prefer it to the Silver Lake location. I always get a parking spot, it's not too crowded too often, in fact, it's comfortably quiet or busy most days. The layout is good and the staff has always been nice. I'm glad I work near this location for sure. read more

Trader Joe's is such an essential service. It's the only affordable grocery store in LA that isn't a Wal Mart or a niche store. This particular location is small and cramped - as is the parking lot - but it has everything you need for a single person or maybe a couple. It's not ideal for bulk or big events. There was an issue where they'd always be out of things but lately their supply chain has been fixed and I almost never don't get what I want. A very small criticism - one or two of employees are a little creepy (the worst offender was fired or left) and some of them are a little too chatty. But most of them are great. read more

Wow. Came here on Sunday, not sure where the regular staff was... everyone was brand new and really not very nice. The only nice encounter I had was the lady handing out samples of potato pancakes. I asked one new employee to help me find something and she acted like I ruined her day. Overall great selection but the new staff is not very nice. read more

6 days a week their employee starts from 7am to 9am using a leaf blower preventing people from sleeping, the store does not respond to comments, disregard for neighbours read more

Best TJs in the world! I love the choices and of course amazing people that make that place so special.

The current policy says one carton of eggs per person. If you are there with more than one person each person should be accounted for. This interaction was embarrassing and demeaning. I understand we need to restrict people buying 12 cartons of eggs during this shortage . But if two people are present they should be aware their sign is flawed and confusing. And not shame you at the check out counter. Patrons behind me were judging me while I was trying to understand this very flawed concept. If it's one per family. That's what the sign should say. read more

Great selections / Great prices / Great quality ~ as expected at Trader Joe's! The employees are very helpful, too.

Thanks to this branch of 'Trader Joe's,' of being here in West Hollywood, CA. I had to use the restroom before heading back to Downtown LA's 'The Music Center,' so I was able to easily locate this branch here. I decided to support this biz as well: who doesn't need anything from Trader Joe's?! We didn't even need to repark our car, because we found out it was down the same side of the street we parked on. What's more was: our meter parking time hasn't run out yet! Anyways, I ended up buying: Organic Green Tea, some dried fruits such as dried mangoes and a pack of seaweed snack. This branch is also just as clean and organized on top of being efficient. Will be back next visit down this region!!!! Thanks for being here, Trader Joe's of West Hollywood, CA. read more

I had never been to this location before and needed to know where things were. Unfortunately, 2 of the employees ignored me, almost to the point of avoidance. A nice worker named Keyla assisted me in locating some Tahini. She was busy but stopped what she was doing to help me. She made the rest of my shopping trip pleasant. She made me laugh and feel comfortable. She is a real gem! I will return to this store knowing I will receive great service from this young lady. Great service thanks to her. read more

Great service from the time you park to the time you are exploring around to shop. Got more than what I came for and even a box to carry the multiple flowers I picked up. First hour parking is free with validation but not sure of how much it is after an hour because I'm usually in and out bc mainly come to this one when the trader's by me is out of stock. It's my overstock Trader's lol read more

I want to give a shout out to Denny who I believe is a manager at Trader Joe's/Santa Monica Blvd-West Hollywood . Without going into a lot of detail, Denny went above and beyond his job to be of great assistance to me. His empathy and compassion blew me away and I will never forget it or him. Trader Joe's is very lucky to have such an amazing employee like Denny to represent their brand. He's a great ambassador to any company; I will never forget his incredible kindness. read more

This is the BEST location because they always have everything in stock. The only downside here is the parking. Every time I come I have to wait for parking. Besides this everything is great, the employees are absolutely awesome!!! I will continue coming here regardless of the parking situation. read more

Trader Joes is simply awesome. I wish x1000 that they had these in my town. I dont think I have ever gotten their version of anything that I did not like down to their in house beers. All great. read more

This location had a good selection of orchids in at least 3 different sizes. You can get mini orchids which I haven't seen elsewhere. There is a large parking lot in the back but it does get busy back there. On a weekday afternoon I did not have to deal with getting a ticket or parking validation. I wish all Trader Joe's locations were like this. read more

5/5. Fresh selection and variety. It is fairly small, but it is great for convenience. It is reasonably priced and healthy with vegetarian options to choose from. read more

This is my favorite Trader Joe's location of them all. TJ's is known for its notoriously bad parking. I never have trouble snagging a space here no matter when I stop by. The store is a little smaller than others, which makes it easy to navigate and get in and out quickly. For a smaller store, it has almost everything I could want -- I recently checked out the larger TJ's closer to La Brea, and found they didn't have as many of the items I find at this store. Staff has always been friendly to me, and I've never had to wait too long to check out. Love this location and will continue to frequent it! read more

I like this location since it's close to a lot of other shopping so I can get things done in one shot, and the other reason is that the 1-hour free parking lot is actually not too terrible! Used to the stores on Crescent, Vine, or SM Blvd. further east, this is a newer location for me, and I've visited more than enough times just in this year (yes, it's only January). Layout is fine, and although I had to ask where a few things were, the people working there were very helpful in tracking things down. And as others have said, the parking attendant guy (Stephon/Stephan?) has to be one of the nicest people I have dealt with in a long time. Manners are scarce out here, however he has always been polite with the little interaction I have had with him. For some reason, when someone I deal with for less than 10 seconds can make me smile, this stays with me for the rest of the night (or at least until I get home). read more

clean facility and friendly staff. It's a good location but parking can get crowded. It can get quite busy a peak hours, I know the staff are friendly which is great, sometimes though people just want to get groceries paid for and get home. read more

This may be my favorite Trader Joe's so far. I love how big the store is and how much great stuff they have in stock. I'm a fan of this location and it's offerings. I'll be back. read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - West Hollywood, California

My favorite Trader Joe's location to shop in the area & it is close to my home. I like the layout of the store & they have a good size parking lot for customers outside the entrance. The employees are friendly & most helpful with recommendations. read more

It's so sad watching this store getting worse and worse as time goes by. What happened to the amazing customer service Trader Joe's used to provide? And the explanation why they can't move their lazy asses for anything or anyone are just unbelievable! If there was a NO STAR or NEGATIVE STAR review, I'd do it right now. Somebody do something!!!!! read more

What a lovely Trader Joe's. If you are here you are probably already a fan of the chain market, like I am so I will skip the praise of Trader Joe's in general and focus on this location. The market was clean and well-stocked. It was easy to navigate and find what I want. They have their own lot (you can also park on the street). I was extremely impressed with the customer service here. They greeted me and helped me find what I needed. I think that's what makes this location very special. I would definitely come back here again. While I was here I tried a sample of their peanut butter granola which they had paired with strawberry yogurt. I highly suggest this combo if you are looking for something different for breakfast. Both items were kosher as well. Would definitely come back and purchase this. read more

Whenever we're in Los Angeles, this location is our "go-to"spot because it's conveniently located to our home-away-from-home and has a fairly large inventory. We like marketing for Niman Ranch meats, fresh produce and cheeses here. TJ offers products for most dietary or nutritional needs. Since we don't have a Trader Joe's in Hawaii, we end up "stocking up" on TJ-branded edible goodies (cookies, almond butter and confections) and their French-milled soaps. Yeah, we're DEPRIVED! Now, most people can understand picking up edibles for snacking while we're on the road or to bring back home with us. However, we've gotten several odd looks and comments because we'll often buy at least 12 bars of soap (lemon-verbena, green tea, lavender and Tea Tree). Friendly cashiers who recognize that we're visitors have joked with us about really loving to bathe. Ha! We happily tell them we're not experiencing drought conditions like California. Oh, while shopping in this friendly market, take a moment to enjoy the music being played. It's often NOT Muzak "elevator music" but you'll find more popular and current genres and artists being featured. Looking around, I could see many patrons smiling, singing along and strolling down the aisles with a little "kick" in their steps. read more

I've come to this Trader Joes most of any for as long as I can remember. Over time, I've encountered a problem multiple times here thats becoming a little more consistent: they're out of things I'm planning on getting when I go there. Could just be my luck, but I have routinely Not had the same problem at the one further down Santa Monica next to Smart & Final or the one on Sunset. To be honest I go to the other ones when I can because of it rather than risk wasting time. Its not like its a bad store in any way but its still worth noting. read more

I love this location because the parking is convenient, the staff are super helpful, kind and friendly and they have everything stocked at all times! Victor was very helpful, kind and gave me an outstanding service this evening. This Trader Joe's never seems to disappoint! Also, they have beautiful plants and I highly recommend this location! read more

I just want to please beg you guys to let employees use gloves for protection!!!!! Also protect them for they are also playing their part on these difficult times read more

BEWARE: FOOD POISONING AT THIS LOCATION I had the tomato soup from here. I know for a fact it was the soup. My boyfriend and I had eaten the same exact foods all week long. Always had meals together. I bought tomato soup here Saturday. I ate the soup and my boyfriend didn't have any because he wasn't hungry. By Sunday early in the morning I was VIOLENTLY puking and diarrhea. Seriously, thought I was going to die. I kept puking up the red tomato soup. I'm just starting to feel better now albeit very dehydrated. AVOID this location, clearly the staff aren't handling the foods properly, or there is a contamination with their soups. read more

Bought this spicy lentil wrap and thank the lord almighty I didn't consume it. I will no longer purchase anything at Trader Joe's I'm baffled at the quality of food they sell. Not only is this gross it smells like poop a doop! Steer clear! CAUTION DO NOT CONSUME FROM TRADER JOES! I gave it one star because the staff is awesome. read more

Trader Joe's - Anyone up for some moldy rancid eats? - Grocery Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Great service! Everyone I've encountered here is beyond polite, courteous, and positive. They offer sanitizer at the door and appear to keep everything clean. Really great for a quick shopping experience. Cashiers are friendly in the lines, but efficient and keep things moving. No chatfests while people are waiting. They also are attentive when things pick up and another cashier is needed. I just moved to the area and so far this is my favorite one. read more

One of the best things about TJ is .............drumroll please.............the WINE!!! I know what you may be thinking but bc they get smaller productions from wine producers and companies they get the wine priced well but also allows different styles of wine to be rotated through CHEERS read more

This location has a small parking lot but always is stocked with the fresh ingredients and items I need.

Thank God for Trader Joe's West Hollywood! Always a great experience, from the most wonderful parking attendant who is always smiling with welcoming me in by my name. Helpful staff and good food at great prices and wonderful checkers at the cash register. read more

Love this location great service and products Very clean place and they always wash the carts read more
