Trader Joe's has a noticeably different feel compared to other locations in the city…read more It didn't feel quite as welcoming--my checkout experience was especially flat, with no greeting or goodbye, and it honestly felt like the cashier didn't want to be there. A few staple items were also out of stock, which was a bit disappointing for a regular grocery run. That said, the produce section was excellent--really fresh and well stocked, probably the highlight of the store. I'll be coming here more often while my usual UWS location is under renovation since it's still convenient for me, especially given it used to be my old neighborhood. It's not a bad store at all, just a very different energy, and it'll take a bit of getting used to.

The inside wasn't spacious, but the staff is always helpful to help locate any items you can't find. The store is neatly organized and clean, provides disinfecting wipes for customer use near the shopping cart and basket area, which allows shoppers to clean cart and basket handles. The store has a café and is busier than other locations since it's inside the Shops at Columbus Circle. I recommend going off hours on weekdays if you want to get in and out easily.

Everything is prepackaged goods with a small produce selection. I'm not mad about it, but the day I went there were whole sections of shelving that was nearly barren - I'm not sure if they just didn't have enough product to fill yet since it just opened or if they just go through that much product in one day and don't have the staffing or space to restock. Overall, pricing appeared to be on par with other WF in the area and it's nice to have this store as a closer alternative to Columbus Circle or Bryant Park which means I'll definitely be doing more grocery shopping at WF moving forward.

I did not know this existed! Thought it was still selling alcohol…read more Such a good place if you need something in a pinch. I forgot my water bottle at home so ending up buying one here. It's not crowded and very quick for check out. There are a variety of items that they also sell in the main store.

This was my first time ever (but certainly not last) in a Trader Joe's Pronto, although I've been…read moremany times to the next door full Union Square Trader Joe's, a TJ's almost always with check out lines that wrap around the store, so long I walk out. Yay! Trader Joe's Pronto, offering a more limited ready-to-consume or ready-to-heat-up selection, perfectly reasonably priced, that you can quickly pick up and get going! When I arrived, (which may be rare,) it was completely empty! I walked over to first grab a drink and saw the refrigerated, fair priced, individual 48 cent 12 Oz. cans of Sparkling Water. Talking to the TJ team member stocking the shelf, we discussed the two unique flavors (which my FOMO made me try both) Blueberry Lemonade and Winter Sangria Sparkling Waters. (Note - Winter Sangria has no alcohol... it's naturally flavored, carbonated water.) After a few minutes, a few more customers entered. While scanning the rest of the stores shelves, noted Turkish Inspired Stuffed Eggplants, which I'll pick up from my own full TJ's in Harlem. Their reasonably priced gourmet sandwich set was where I found the "eats" portion of my shopping - TJ's Turkey Apple Chedder Sandwich, with Baby Arugula and Dijon Mayo on a Multigrain Roll. And no big line at check out! Super fast! Plus, everything tasted delicious. TJ's Pronto - I'll be back!

I go here almost every day to grab breakfast or lunch since I work nearby. The deli staff are…read moreamazing, and the gentleman by the bakery is always kind and helpful. Unfortunately, the older woman at the first register in the morning consistently comes across as though customers are inconveniencing her. She is often on her phone and appears bothered when assisting people. Usually, I let it go, but today's interaction was unnecessarily rude. When checking out, she asked how much the tangerines were. I told her they are normally 2 for $1. She went to verify the price, came back mumbling something, and when I politely asked her to repeat herself, she responded with an attitude, saying, "Yeah, you don't hear?" I calmly explained that I felt she was being disrespectful even though I had not said or done anything rude to her. She responded by saying, "Yeah, yeah, customers always think they're right." I even repeated myself in Spanish because I initially thought perhaps there was simply a language barrier and no disrespect was intended, but she continued arguing. Another employee who stated he works there said the supervisor would not arrive until after 10 a.m. It's unfortunate because the rest of the staff are pleasant, but one person's negative attitude can easily push loyal customers toward the many other stores in the area.

I remember stumbling upon this place when they just opened, I'm glad to see they're doing well there was a steady stream of people. Sure many tourist picking up snacks to bring back to their hotels, but also just enough to do a quick run for nearby residents that don't want to give up their first child to get some eggs or milk. They're also open 24 hours!
