Nice people, 2 buck Chuck (Now $2.50), frozen meals from India and Mexico that rock, and healthy organic alternatives keep me coming back here. Rock on Trader Joe, rock on! read more

Trader Joe's - Storefront. - Grocery Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Love Trader Joe's. My first go-to for many of my usual foods I buy. The staff are friendly and the food is fresh.

The only place I get my groceries in Bako. You get fresh delicious food and the bill always comes out much cheaper than I expect! You can be your health-conscious self here without losing the quality, taste, and price too. Some of my staples are: wheat pizza dough (in the produce section near the cheeses); frozen chicken tenderloins (no preservatives so you don't get the high sodium that other frozen fooods have), nonfat TJ brand yogurts w/ fruit on the bottom; variety of produce (sometimes they have the $4 whole watermelon sale and a $2 pack of sliced organic apples!); soy milk; and Clif bars. And I think almost every frozen food there I've tried has been really good too, particularly the orange chicken. Hours are now open til 9 pm and bring your own cloth bags to enter a drawing every week. read more

My gosh, such mixed feelings about this location. On one hand, they are clean and organized. All of your TJ's favorites are easy to find. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure they give a personality test at hire to ensure one's meanness is up to staff par. Seriously, the unfriendliest group of effers I have ever stumbled across! I'm not expecting much... just a returned smile or a "you're welcome" to my thanks would be nice. read more

The store is super clean, everything fully stocked and with a great staff. The products, as we all know, rock, best prices for organic food anywhere and always something new to try out. Can't beat it, one of my favorite places to shop and this is the best Trader Joe's I have been to yet! read more

OMG, who doesn't love Trader Joe's??? I certainly do. Its such a cool place to go shop when you want to look for something different than your regular grocery store. Mochi Ice cream, special salads and pizza! Its a nice break. read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Bakersfield, California

This Trader Joe's location is the best, as if Trader Joe's products weren't good enough. The service is fantastic! The staff is always there to help, and is very knowledgeable about the store's products. I can't say that about a lot of grocery stores. As for the food, it's so unique, quality, and delicious. They have a broad selection of things like meat, cheese (my favorite), and bread. Very good selection of organic, gluten free, and healthy foods. The things I get as often as I can from TJs are the lite cheeses (very good choices like harvarti, cheddar, and swiss in slices and blocks), the flour tortillas (muy buena!), frozen orange chicken, fruit, hashbrown patties (if you can't find these, ask for assistance, as these are so good that you don't want to pass 'em up), cereals, apple smoked bacon (no nitrates added), and eggs (great prices). For a special treat, get the COOKIE BUTTER. It taunts me every time I go past it, with it's perfect taste and cookie crumbs mixed in. At Christmas, don't tell anyone because they run out so fast, buy a couple boxes of the festive peppermint oreo-like cookies. Bottom line, Trader Joes is my favorite store in Bako. In fact, I think I'll drive over there now and pick me up some cookie butter. read more

Trader Joes is one of a handful of organic health food grocery stores in Bakersfield. Hands TJ's is my favorite. It is one of the smaller Trader Joes that I've been too but it makes it that much easier to get in and grab what you need and get out. Staff are always super friendly. I'm a huge fan of their coffee. For the whole bean lovers, hey have a grinder so you can freshly ground those beans before you leave. A few of my favorite items has to be anything Cookie Butter related. If you haven't tried this stuff you are definitely missing out. I would recommend checking out the Cookie Butter ice cream or cheesecake first. Soooo good. I also enjoy their cereals. Vanilla crunch and chocolate almond always disappear from my pantry in a day or two. Good selection of beer and wine. I remember the good ole days when 2 Buck Chuck would be the drink of the night. It's still 2 Buck Chuck sort of,$2.49 for the Charles Shaw wine that will definitely put some hair on your chest. Meat is a bit pricey but comes packaged in small quantities. Overall I definitely enjoy our local Trader Joes. Fresh flower selection is pretty good also for the fellas needing a quick bouquet for that special someone. read more

Trader Joe's - Big fan of this stuff! - Grocery Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I shopped here for gluten/dairy free foods. They have great bread, crackers, sushi, and vitamins at a decent price. The almond cheese and oatmeal soap are my favorites indeed. My daughter loves the gluten free pumpkin crackers The customer service is out of this world! There is a whole lot of Yumm packed into this little store read more

Organic produce at great prices :-) Great organic food options, vegetarian/ vegan food to grab and go, beer, wine, nuts, ezekiel bread, organic meat, aaannnnnnddddd Economical! =D read more

I absolutely love this store. I used to live in Oregon for about eight years and everybody was so nice and happy, and when I moved back to Bakersfield I was a little bit sad that it's the exact opposite. But when I go into Trader Joe's it's like I'm thrown right back to Oregon, everybody is so nice and friendly. I've had the pleasure to be helped out by David on numerous occasions he is amazingly quick and still so very nice and helpful, he is absolutely amazing. I also have an auto immune disease and have a specific diet I have to follow, this store has my favorite coconut milk of all the kinds I've tried. I will definitely be back! read more

Another great Trader Joe's! We've been here several times after 8 p.m. on Sundays and they've had all the staples for our grocery shopping needs. (Other locations I've been in tend to look looted by the end of the weekend.) I didn't notice the lack of an express lane at this location, but that would be a serious pain if this were my regular TJ's because I tend to do my shopping every 2-3 days, not weekly. read more

Trader Joe's, I must say is like our one-stop shop for anything organic or vegan since we really do not have a Wholefoods within a 100-mile radius. Some of the products at TJ are actually way cheaper than Wholefoods. Although I am not entirely living organically, I love coming in here to buy a few things here and there like their famous 2 buck chucks, green tea mochi ice cream, their boxed french macarons (my fave, I'm a frustrated baker and they come in vanilla and chocolate ganache, yum!) & the veggie chips. Other than that I help myself with their organic skincare products and their Australian Tea Tree Oil. Sometimes I like shopping for groceries here too because it's not as relatively big as Von's or Albertsons and it is easy to find everything. Their employees are very friendly, courteous and accommodating. It definitely is your friendly neighborhood market. read more

Way too many workers on all of the aisles. Out of all of them, maybe only one or two people had smiles on their faces. Staff was just very short and rude when I asked a question. Will most definitely not be coming back to this Trader Joe's. read more

I love Trader Joe's but every time I go to this location, the parking situation is always crazy and because there is only one in town it is PACKED. The building is really small and I honestly do not understand why they have not expanded to other locations. The food is good but I have had some problems with their produce. I know fruit can be temperamental but it seems that it's either going bad too quickly or takes a long time to ripen and that is why I do not buy my produce from there anymore. Also, I have a couple of friends that have been working there for a long time and I have also been shopping there for a few years. One time, I accidentally left my most recent ID and they would not sell me beer--even though I had my old one in my wallet! I was upset about this and since I am picky about my beer I haven't gone back since that time. Other than that, my trips were enjoyable and if I ever am in the neighborhood and I need something, I will stop by. read more

I don't shop here for organic food, I come here for the high quality and great prices. When it comes to their produce it can be expensive but their baking ingredients, popcorn, oils, eggs, and supplements are amazing low in price! It is probably the best prices in town you just need to know what you are buying. I also love their seasonal food and everyday fun samples and friendly staff. Defiantly come here in October for all the pumpkin treats. This isn't a place to go grocery shopping, it is a place to get a few special things you need that you can't find anywhere else. read more

5 stars for being the only TJ's in town! Yes, it is a bit small and the parking is not fab..but can you imagine if we didn't have one? I would have to stop by one after shopping out of town at Nordstrom. That would not be good. Some of my fav products: the frozen Indian meals, packaged salads, cheese, dessert, wine, and hummus selection. Added bonus: Don Clark shops there! read more

Just finished my shopping at the Trader Joe's on Coffee and Stockdale. The staff are most pleasant and always know where something is that I can't find. James was at the register tonight, and he asked an associate employee to retrieve an item that I had not located. James has waited on me before, and he, like the others employed there, are extra friendly and attentive. I love TJ's Goat Gouda. If you haven't tasted it yet, you are in for a treat. You can't find oyster crackers anywhere like those at Trader Joe's. We serve them to our guests who come to our vineyard for wine tasting. I could go on...for those who are gluten free, this is a good place to shop. Thank you, Trader Joe's, for being here! Oh, we're still waiting, hoping, that the "Some Enchanted Crackers" will return. One more comment: fresh flowers, beautiful potted orchids and other potted plants are top quality and reasonably priced. read more

Just ran in to grab a healthy snack. I love this place. Can always find something I may not need, but want... I'll find chips, candy, something that I'm going to end up buying just to try. Customer service is always on point, friendly and always helpful. They always seem happy to be there and happy to help. The employees always set the shopping mood for me. Doesn't mater how busy it gets, I always see a smile. Great place to shop for healthier food as a life style. A little pricier than your regular grocery stores, but that's expected if you want grass feed, hormone free beef. They also have a great wine selection! For those of us that like to balance or healthy choices with our other choices. LOL I enjoy walking around, though is not a huge store. I enjoy the samplings, and again... Finding something I may not have needed, but I now want read more

I went into the local TJ looking for fresh artichokes. Two different produce clerks told me that it was too early, that artichokes were not in season. The next day, I was down at the Hollywood Farmers' Market and there were several stalls selling artichokes! So, I stopped at three different TJs in the Hollywood area that afternoon. They all were selling artichokes. I have had similar experiences looking for lychees at TJ. Bakersfield store says that it is all of season, but I can find the fruit in Hollywood. At least in Bakersfield, I have my shopping to Sprouts. read more

The crew has always been helpful in locating items. The store is organized and usually well stocked when I go during mid week. My favorite grocery store! read more

Best store to shop for groceries in town! They offer a variety of products including organic and everything is at a great price! The location is great, the customer service is the best, it is very clean, and the products they offer are good quality. Also I love the hippie/ hawaii vibe they got going on. read more

Customer service is outstanding here! the staff are always friendly and welcoming! I typically do my grocery shopping at Vons because its right next to my apartment. However, after comparing prices with Trader Joes, I've made my conversion for good. Plus, I'm more health-concious while shopping at Joes than I do at Vons. I just love everything about this place! read more

I. Love. Trader. Joe's. I would say we buy about 99% of our groceries here. The employees have always been helpful & courteous. It's rare that they have something I need out of stock, but they're usually pretty accurate about when it will be back in stock and help with finding a substitute I'd necessary. If you want to try something before buying it, don't be shy because they will gladly open it for you to test (and then of course give it to the sample cart to do samples). What I especially appreciate about this particular Trader Joe's is that they recently (spring of 2015) expanded their refrigeration cabinet so they could include chilled beverages and a wider variety of meats & cheeses. This is great for when you're on your way to a dinner party in the SW. They know what their customers want! Plus the parking isn't as horrendous at this location as it is at other Trader Joe's. My favorite part of Trader Joe's in general is that all of their products marked as Trader Joe's is cruelty free, GMO free, & preservative free. This does mean that it goes bad faster, but I don't feel like absolute crap eating. My second favorite part is that they make me feel like I'm an excellent cook (although I'm truly just an okay cook) because all of their food tastes amazing and the employees at the sample carts give you good recipe ideas. read more

Come here for most of my fruit needs. I also really enjoy the Trader Joe's branded food. Unlikely most generic grocery store stuff, the store brand stuff usually tastes as good if not better than the branded stuff. On top of this, they have their own unique combinations of a variety of items: chips, sauces, take-home dinners, etc. Their frozen meals also quite tasty. The staff is always really friendly and they are pretty quick to get you through the line. When they open a new register, they'll walk over and invite you over. They also have bins for old paper and plastics bags, so I'll usually bring my stock of bags to have them recycled (since Bakersfield lacks a city-wide recycling program). read more

Love the store. Hate the parking lot. That's par for the course for any Trader Joe's I've ever been to though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

I think everyone that shops Trader Joe's loves it. Products you cannot get elsewhere and always extremely friendly employees. This trip we bought their Seafood Sauce which is so good when dipping shrimp from a shrimp cocktail. We also bought graham crackers. Their cinnamon grahams are to die for. read more

Love Trader Joe's!! I always find my favorite & new items to try not including that they give out yummy Vegan recipes:) read more

Trader Joe's - Some of my favorite I can only find at Trader Joe's. - Grocery Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Yeah there is a Trader Joes in Bakersfield! Funny thing not real crowded and easy parking! Thank you for being down there in Oil Spawl Bakersfield land! read more

Honestly, I do not want to sound like the typical average California avocado organic eating hipster, but Trader Joe's is my go to spot. There are so many affordable groceries to buy, and they have unique selections that many other grocery store does not offer. I love their new spin on hot Cheetos. Try it out. Also their prices are ridiculously cheap! read more

I go here whenever I get on this side of town or if I'm in need of something specific. I love getting different snacks here for gift baskets when I make them. The Staff is always very friendly and helpful with suggestions or finding something. I love the products they have here and even though some of it is pricey you get what you pay for. They have some of my favorite cheese's and excellent wines. I shop here when I'm getting ready to have a dinner party or they have good sales. read more

Aside from the parking, i love coming here! The place is clean, their frozen food is amazing, customer service is awesome. I don't think we've ever waited more than 2-3 mins in a line here because the staff is always so helpful and willing to open a counter to check us out. read more

Always the best grocery store in town. Clean and well organized. Friendly staff. Visiting from the South and have to shop here each time I visit. read more

I love this Trader Joe's. The employees are very friendly. The employees are always so helpful, and the food is great. I just wish they would sell pumpkin soup all year long! read more

Very friendly staff, very healthy food options, best wine selection, free coffee sample!

Yes! Great food, options, service and prices. Only thing I would work on is having enough items in stock! Had to check back multiple times for vegan mayo, and extra firm tofu. Both are always sold out. Bring back the TJ's Sprouted Rye bread, too. read more

No need to tell you that our local TJ's has an incredible assortment of great food items at reasonable prices, that's a given. What truly deserves a shout out is the kindness and professionalism of the work staff. I very stupidly locked both my keys and my cell phone in my truck this morning and went to the Help Desk for assistance. Lacey, the manager, was quick to help along with a young male cashier who went out to see if he could get a door or window open. I ended up calling AAA who arrived within 15 minutes and my morning was saved. Several employees expressed concern and wished me well on my way out. I went over to Starbucks and bought them coffee via a gift card. I will always remember Trader Joe's as my favorite grocers AND a hot bed of human kindness. TJ's, you rock!!! read more

Trader Joe's is a store I often forget, but then the flyer comes in the mail. I usually go at that time intending on getting a few items, and most of the time I get quite a few more things than planned. But that is what makes this store good to me, you see different things in here that are not found anywhere else. This is a small clean store staffed by helpful people and they open more registers when busy, unlike some stores. Parking is not so great but it is in a big plaza, so there is always a place to park. I really enjoy coming around the end of year when the holiday season is in full swing, lots of neat items then. read more

Just like all the other TJ's but smaller.....there are definitely a difference in locations and the Bakersfield store is essentially a step up from a Fresh & Easy. (you would have had 4stars otherwise) The biggest problem is that they are not a able to meet all my shopping needs and then I still end up at Lassens. Great for snacks, wine and packaged stuff. read more

While in Bakersfield for one night, we came by to Trader Joe's to do some shopping for snacks, fruit, and dessert. This is probably the best healthy grocery store in the city, other than Sprouts. Pretty standard, clean, and they offer all of the same items as other TJ's. read more
