Staff here are not only friendly, but they're approachable, and knowledgeable of their products. If you don't see something that that you are looking for on the shelf, they'll go the extra mile and check their stock in the back of the store, and even look it up in their system to tell you the status of the product, and when it might be available in the store. If you have a return, they don't try to shame you! When you reach the register they are warm and efficent. Everyone genuinely seem like they enjoy working there which really adds to the welcoming atmosphere. 5 stars all the way! *****

This is my favorite Trader Joe's location. While it's a bit smaller than others, I actually find…read morethat to be a positive trait. I've been shopping here for over two years, and this review is long overdue. My biggest complaint in the past was the lack of cell service due to the store being located in the basement. It was frustrating not being able to text or call my wife to check what we already had in the fridge, which often led to overbuying--though that's never really a problem at TJ's since everything is so delicious. The great news is that they now have Wi-Fi, which is a total game changer for this location! I'm a huge fan of their sheet cakes; I always pick one up to share with my co-workers. Trader Joe's consistently delivers quality products, and on the rare occasion I've had an item go bad before opening, the staff has been incredibly helpful and happy to exchange it. The team here is friendly, efficient, and always provides a great shopping experience.

The store itself is really nice, but the employees in the natural beauty department were…read moresuper-awful to me. I was there as a haircare product demonstrator to give out samples and take a count of some of the products there. They refused to give me a table. My product was close to the bottom shelf, which I counted, dusted, and then typed up a report on my phone for my business. They kindly reported me to my company for texting on my phone and sitting in the aisle. What, they expected me to kneel or lay on the floor? There were almost no customers, so you would think they had their own restocking to do instead of monitoring what I was doing. Plus it was super-dusty. I guess those bishes didn't dust? What absolute bishes. Maybe it was because smartphones were newish in 2011? I had just been at Erewhons and they were all supernice to me there. The contrast was glaring. While this was in 2011, it left a very bad taste in my mouth, so I can't support their business when they treat visitors so poorly. I probably should have immediately complained to management. So here I am complaining to Yelp 15 years later. But seriously, anywhere I go as a demonstrator, I am also a potential customer for lunch, groceries, or whatnot. So I guess it's Erewhons and Whole Foods for me.

REALLY BAD NEGATIVE ENERGY AT THIS STORE. Be cautious who's bagging your stuff and checking out…read moreyour groceries. I don't want to put anyone in particular on blast, but there are 4 specific men who work here who are incredibly rude. One man in particular who seems to hate everyone but needs to make sure you KNOW IT! Your grocery bagging will be aggressively taken into account with this anger. If you say "Hello" you're met with silence or anger. I don't even say anything and I'm still met with angry energy! It's to the point I try to do self-checkout or delivery because I can't handle the passive-aggressive stuff anymore. I could get into more of my theories as to why I think this is happening but nobody will stop it so that's why I'm warning people on here. The ladies are very kind. They work hard and are tired but have always been professional. I try to make sure that, if I can have one of them help me at the register, I do so. Parking: If you have an SUV and the lot is full, just leave, honestly please your car won't fit into the spots because people don't know how to properly park. I saw an elderly lady crash into another lady's car. They were in a full-blown argument. People will just back out into your car while pulling out and are not even paying attention. There is very limited parking spots because people park and then go to the beach or into the permitted residential area because there's no parking there. The illegal parking isn't enforced. There's also people living out of their cars. Prices: This place is expensive. Check your receipt before you leave. Lines and customers: Sometimes the line is long and sometimes it's not. Customers are mostly very understanding and they work together to speed it up. Inside the store the customers are polite. Outside the store it's way different. I had one man mocking me and harassing me because I wouldn't do what he wanted. I was pushing a heavy shopping cart and he was stopped, wanting me to cross in front of his car for no reason. When I signalled and told him to just keep driving, he started mocking me. Very odd. At night it's like the walking dead zombies. They do have a security guard but be careful in the parking lot. There is a man who wears all black and is unhoused/homeless outside. He hides between cars and will come out of nowhere like a shadow. There's nothing anyone can do about it, so be armed if he comes at you. I had to go running to my car and lock myself in with my groceries still in the shopping cart until he wandered away. This is around 9ish when they come out. I've been going here a decade. Never seen it this bad. I hope they open more self-checkout stations and tell some of these cashiers to seek mental health help. It's a stressful job, but take it up with management or the company don't take it out on the customer.

FYI- Just visit the new Vons location at 710 Broadway. They always have everything in stock. Workers are much more polite. I'll preferably be walking 10 extra blocks to avoid this horrible location.

They've got a nice butcher section with fresh meat and seafood. There's a deli case with close to 20 items -- ribs, chicken, lasagna, mac 'n cheese, soup and more, depending on the day. They've got about a dozen salads, including three potato salads, and about as many deli meats for sandwiches. The beef stew was excellent, the lasagna, chili and meatloaf also very good. The sandwiches are solid and very reasonably priced. Two things stand out for me here: their weekend barbecue and the tamales. Someone in their kitchen makes delicious Oaxacan tamales (which are not always available). These tamales are chock full of chicken mole -- perhaps the highest ratio of filling to masa that I've had -- and are neatly wrapped in banana leaves. The burritos are similarly pre-made and stuffed to the gills with the protein of the day. As for the weekend barbecue, every Saturday and Sunday morning they grill select meats from the deli (prime steaks, tri tip, chicken, etc) which you can buy throughout the day at the deli. The Farms also has fresh vegetables, premade salads and all the other items you'd expect from a neighborhood grocery store. Service is super friendly, and there's free parking in back. It's definitely a good spot for a meal to go.
