This is how all Trader Joe's should be configured, the aisles were very wide. Everything was spread out so you can get quite the volume of people through here. This is a very busy Trader Joes, we arrived by 8:30 in the morning and of course the parking lot is almost full. Prices were similar to my store in Arizona, so no sticker shock. Of course, like any Trader Joe's, the parking lot is downright dangerous. Make sure to check out the wine shop next door as it's HUGE compared to a normal store and had all of our favorite wines! Friendly; efficient staff too read more

My monthly visit to Trader's always comes away with Pimento Cheese Dip. The best! I use it on crackers, to stuff celery, and make Pimento thumb print crackers! It's always fresh and keeps for weeks in the fridge. Also bring home my Astromeriam Flowers. Trader's is the only place I can find them and over the past 25 years have become my very favorite. So many other good things, I have to "pace" myself. The services is always top notch and the store is always "busy", but very organized. Just the best place to visit for "good" stuff! read more

First time inside Trader Joe's and it didn't disappoint! Lived up to the hype entirely! Gotta go through every aisle. Really crowded but that's ok. Everything is pumpkin themed right now. Don't sleep on the bread selection in the back corner of the store. read more

Great Trader Joe's location! One of the better parking lots (some TJ's have terrible parking lots) and once inside, everything's very well organized. When I came here in the fall, they were well stocked with the fall and pumpkin flavored items. This past summer when I was looking at the Trader Joe's sunblock, one of the employees noticed and gave me some tips about the mineral oil one because she used it herself. When I was in today, many of the employees were restocking the shelves and I couldn't help but notice how pristine everything looked. I'll be back very soon. read more

Moved from Montana and so happy to find this Trader Joe's. It was an hour away, but worth driving to Colorado Springs. Tucked among restaurants and Costco. First time here and Joe the cashier was professional, helpful, and welcoming. Thank you for your kindness. Store was clean and well stocked. Salads and produce were fresh. Highly recommended. read more

I like going to trader joe's they usually have pretty good product. They're a bit pricey but it's most likely because they use a lot of organic ingredients. Really nice staff everyone here is very polite and helpful. Very organized store too which I appreciate when grocery shopping. read more

Well, this is your average Trader Joe's. I will know that this location seems to have more of the flower selection than many I've been to. The customer service here is great like every other Trader Joe's. I'm getting four stars because the parking here is absolutely insane. There's only one Trader Joe's in the entire Colorado Springs area, which is insane. It is located on the edge of like a strip mall shopping area and it's just impossible to find parking unless you're gonna come here late at night when all the eggs are sold out. Be prepared for crazy lines and crowded aisles and if I were you, I wouldn't even dare to come here on a Sunday afternoon. read more

The food is top tier and the staff are so nice! I try to get through the store quickly since it's always so busy, but sometimes it pays to take your time and see what's new! read more

I would like to personally thank Kristen who works at this location for being so helpful in the process of ordering a ton of flowers for my wedding. She knew what she was talking about, she was so kind and patient and made the ordering so easy. Shoutout to Trader Joe's! read more

Absolutely love this place! Was helped by a kind checker named Zack today who was super spunky, positive and kind. 10/10!

Trader Joe's a wonderful place and I believe this place has a following of people and now I know why the food is delicious. It gives you not too much food but just the right amount for a nice dinner a nice lunch or a breakfast store is clean and everybody there was super nice so thank you for being Trader Joe's. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was so busy, hard to find a parking spot and even hard to shop. They have the best selection for flowers, we grabbed some tulips, sweet potatoes, wine, vodka and protein bars. They have a great selection for alcohol, the price of the vodka was great and some of the smoothest. The wine was also delicious and a great price. We grabbed the barebel protein bars and they are some of the most delicious ones, we were so happy we tried them! We love all the different selections they have and the price is always right! read more

We used to be a King Soopers' family, but lately I feel the quality of both the products and the service are providing nothing I need as a consumer today. This Trader Joe's is clean, organized, and well-staffed with knowledgeable and friendly employees. And smaller store doesn't necessarily mean smaller selection, most of King Soopers and Safeway's shelves are stocked with multiples of a product too fill space just requiring more effort to find the products you want. It doesn't take me as long to find what I need at Trader Joe's and has exposed our diet to fun new culinary experiences because it's easier to search through all their products. And always having an ACTUAL HUMAN CASHIER, like Kim, who is fast and friendly, available when you check out rather than a self-checkout machine and subsequent security check at the door, is well worth any increase we pay basic necessities over other competitors. I'd say, if you're on the fence about making the switch yourself, it's well worth it to give it a try. read more

I stopped at this Trader Joe's before our long drive to the mountains. We needed to stock up on groceries and alcohol and I'm glad we came here because it has everything!! They have snacks and produce, pre-cut salad, chips and popcorn, charcuterie things, cookies, all the frozen food and all the condiments. It's heaven really. This particular trade joe's has a separate store (right next door) that sells alcohol. It might seem inconvenient, but I've been to Trader Joes' in states that don't allow them to sell alcohol, so I will take what I can get! On top of that, because it has a separate space, I feel like there is much more of a variety of hard alcohol and wines. There is even a little refrigerated section. This Trader Joes is on the larger side, but it is set up the same way as other trader joes. I like the holiday seasonal things like Jingle Jangle and the cosmetics advent calendars. The cashiers are always friendly and seem genuinely interested in their customers. Many of the workers excitedly ask about Hawaii when I tell them I'm from Hawaii and that there are no TJs in Hawaii. read more

I just discovered this TJ's this week and have already been twice! It's so nice to be back in the USA, where we have these gems that never disappoint when it comes to consistency of quality and customer service. When checking out on my first visit, I mentioned that I didn't find tahini, and an associate at a nearby counter heard me and brought it to me in no time! I also learned that unlike every other TJ's store I've visited between California and Boston, this one doesn't (can't) sell booze inside the store due to permitting, so once you finish with groceries, you just walk out the door and take an immediate right to find yourself in the most glorious TJ's beverage shop ever! (Tons of craft beer, super affordable liquors, and incredibly priced wines.) My only warning is that whether it's Monday at 10 a.m. or Saturday afternoon, this place is always jam packed, so bring your patience. I do hope TJ's considers building another store on the east side of town, but for now, I'll brave the traffic, parking, and crowds weekly to get my fix. read more

Trader Joe's - Homemade salad made with TJ's mozzarella, mini heirloom tomatoes, basil, and balsamic vinegar - Grocery Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

It's Trader Joe's! Staff is very friendly and helpful. While checking out you have genuine human interactions and the groceries are great. People visiting are friendly too! The prices are good, seriously, compared to most stores they're the same or cheaper. The food you try here is super good, sometimes better than restaurants. Great snacks too! Even the store decor is fun and has different events. There are often free samples too! Even free stuff for answering trivia at times. Fun place! read more

This is the only Trader Joe's in town, so thankfully it rocks! After the last snow fall, I went in for produce and the shelves were completely barren. The only thing I was able to buy was a single golden potato! The cashier explained that it's because items come in from Texas and got delayed d/t snow so I don't blame TJs for that. Other than that day, I always find high quality produce and other items here. The cashiers are always so nice and enjoyable to chat with! I recently realized the separate liquor store and it was amazing. I got an Italian wine for $4.99! The man working there was also incredibly nice. Only downfall is you must buy seasonal items when you see them because things go FAST. I love the fudge heart cookies but missed my chance this year. The heart shaped pasta was amazing though and there is always new products to try. Some essential items I always get is the coconut non dairy whipped cream (great on chia seed pudding or cocoa), dark chocolate (73% is fire), and rainbow wrap! I also love the flowers, plants and cards. I'm literally obsessed with Trader Joe's and I'm here at least once a week! This is an amazing grocery store. read more

What a large TJ's! Due to CO alcohol laws, wine etc must be sold in a separate building or area with its own register. So this huge TJs has a wine building next to it (with hard liquor too). This has everything you'd want at a TJs but is more spaced out, which I appreciate when crowds happen. If this is your first time I recommend: Pepperoni frozen pizza Milk chocolate peanut butter cups Any of their cheeses or vegan items Nuts are much cheaper here than other grocery stores. read more

Okay first let me just say, I use to love shopping here but after today I will not bring my business back here.. I had a interview I had to reschedule due to a flat tire... so my interview was rescheduled for today.. I will admit that yes I was a few minutes late but to ask me to wait till you found someone besides your self. It was in that moment that has you of simply asked why I was 6 minutes behind. There was an older lady who was carrying her groceries to her car she dropped her bag, I saw it and proceeded to help her. So because I did something nice and respectful, because im sure if that was your grandma and she was alone you would want someone to help her. I hope you have a great day to the gentleman that is bold because you never said your name read more

Excellent customer service. The staff is always so friendly and very helpful. Excellent cheese selection as always. Brook provided some more excellent recommendations. Bought the unexpected cheddar which is a customer favorite and the Caramelized onion dip which is fabulous. I liked to dip their olive oil salted chips with the onion dip. I also was able to find the Kringle pecan ring which I was surprised to find because they sell out very quickly. I was told to warm it up but I also thought it tasted cold too. Huge portion. I put most of it in the freezer for several treats on a snowy day. I also bought the coffee and cookie butter ice cream. I bought the Hawaiian macadamia honey again which is excellent on Greek God's vanilla honey yogurt with fresh strawberries and fresh blueberries. On Wednesday and Sunday's they have Senior hours at 8:00am so the store opens at 9:00am for all others. read more

Update March 2024: I gave this place another shot- mainly because I heard that Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi's, and can I just say I LOVE LOVE LOVE Aldi's. So.....I ventured to Trader Joe's again. Some things I noticed on this trip that I appreciated...There are lots of beautiful flowers and plants outside that look and smell amazing! The prices are really fair on them as well. In addition, I really appreciate that there is a sign outside that states they do not allow social media "influencers" to film inside, advertise, etc and that we can have a peaceful shopping experience without worrying about loud "obnoxious" people and cameras everywhere. I went with a mission to find certain products and I was successful in finding all but one- could not find beet chips :(. I love how they have the kumato tomatoes and they have cherry and grape size heirloom tomatoes there as well- very very fair prices! I also love the checkout process- very personable and my checkout employee was very friendly and kind. So.....the ratings for this location as well as Trader Joe's overall is 5 stars now! Yes, 5 stars! I would not say I am a Trader Joe's groupie- you hear about these people that fly across the country to stock up on Trader Joe's....I'm not one of those....but I will say I will revisit Trader Joe's again! read more

5 Stars because it's Trader Joe's. It's always busy, parking lot can feel like a blood sport. Inside can feel like a game of dodge ball. But, food selection is nice and the lines to check out (while they can be long) are very efficiently managed and the staff are always nice. It is 1 floor, so it's a smaller TJ's but the food selection seems the same. read more

Whats there not to love? The service is always exceptional. The store is kept clean and tidy (as much as possible with how many guests show up on a daily basis). The treats there are incredible and my wallet appreciates the low prices. I love visiting Trader Joes in hunt for new snacks for my husband and our son to try. They love the plantain chips and mostly anything with chocolate, and trader joes always has something yummy in the chocolate department. I'm also a huge fan of their flower/plant department, as flowers are always fresh and reasonably priced. My favorite thing about trader joes is how kind every employee is. Every time I walk in with my baby girl everyone makes sure that we are doing okay and always offer help if i'm juggling too many things in my hand while carrying her. I always feel like i'm shopping in a neighborhood store. Although I do the bulk of my shopping in other larger grocery stores, Trader Joes is where I go for particular snacks and treats, and for their peanut butter cups - because seriously - those things are amazing! read more

What's not to love about Trader Joe's they sell items they do not have anywhere else, reasonable prices and quality produce. I LOVE coming here and to any Trader Joe's location. Following all COVID guild lines (: read more

YOU ARE ON NOTICE - ANYONE CAN SUE FOR THE TREATMENT I WAS GIVEN TONIGHT! ALL APPROPRIATE RULES WERER FOLLOWED ON MY END OF THIS. The store manager did NOT care. Staff does not follow ADA Rules and does not treat people with respect. I was verbally attacked by the manager on shift tonight while my service dog was doing his job. I was informed that my dog is not allowed to sniff food products. My dog is detecting gluten in food and that's exactly his job. This was straight up discrimination. This store has no respect for people with disabilities. - For your reference my service dog is LEGAL and not a fake dog. I was literally bullied out of the store. - RULES ADA SAYS YOU MUST LEGALLY FOLLOW - You can ask two questions, and only these two questions, to verify that someone has a service dog: 1) Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and  2) What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff members at a facility are not allowed to ask for details about a person's disability, require medical documentation, require a special ID card or training documentation. Third parties cannot ask the dog to demonstrate the job or task that it was trained to do.  - Service dog accessories like ID cards, registrations, and vests do not confer rights on their owners. However, they are frequently used by service dog owners to easily signal that their dog is a service animal. These items should only be used by service dog owners with fully trained service dogs. (WHICH I DID) Some psychiatric service dog owners will obtain optional Psychiatric Service Dog Letters. PSD letters are documents signed by licensed healthcare professionals that opine on whether someone has an eligible mental health disability for the purposes of owning a psychiatric service dog. FURTHER - Legally service dogs are considered medical devices. If you interfere with the dog doing the job you are liable for a lawsuit because you are interfering with that medical devices purpose. You legally interfered with my dogs ability to do its job. You have discriminated against me in a plant and direct manor. YOU ARE ON NOTICE - ANYONE CAN SUE FOR THE TREATMENT I WAS GIVEN TONIGHT! YOU HAVE A SIGN ON THE WINDOW OF YOUR BUILDING THAT SAYS SERVICE DOGS ARE WELCOME. THEY ARE LYING! read more

Stopped by my favorite TJ's yesterday (Tues) at 4pm. I know, prime time during COVID. I thought for sure it would be chaos. It was anything but that! I stood in line with the other respectful shoppers for only 10-15 min. Handed a sanitized cart with a smile. Everything I needed and didn't need was fully stocked! No line at the checkout (don't forget to leave your reusable bags at home for now), and was in and out in 15 min. The customer service is always impeccable here and 90% of the shoppers were respectful of personal space. also... get the plantain chips so you can completely finish them on your ride home and act like it never happened read more

First time going there since covid started. Even though I wasn't able to find all the items I came there for, I was so impressed! Limited number of people can go in at a time (there's a line outside, wait time is not too long), sanitized and unsanitized carts separated from each other and everyone's wearing masks. Definitely one of the stores where I feel safe to shop the most right now. read more

I found a dead fly inside the raspberry, which ruined my appetite. Additionally, the blackberries were molded and gone bad when I opened them, so I had to throw them away. I was hoping the raspberries were okay, but finding the dead fly made it even worse. Furthermore, the employee working at the customer center (possibly the manager) was very rude and lazy. This may be why the products at this location are unclean and unfresh. Trader Joe's should consider their workers' attitudes when hiring them. read more

I am a huge fan of Trader Joe's. I started shopping at their stores when I moved to Pasadena, CA many years ago. Very few items I don't like, for example the meatloaf was very disappointing. But for every disappointing item there are 50 that are just great. Even my cats like it when I bring home Trader Joe's cat food. My most recent purchases were based upon the free samples they put out, the combination I would have never thought of on my own. I got the white corn tortillas, jicama/mango/cabbage slaw, Sriracha and roasted barbecue sauce and the frozen white chicken breast. A quick delicious taco meal that hit the spot. The multitude of flavors was just great. The list of my favorites just goes on, frozen Tarte Flambé (white pizza), pork carnitas, the cheeses, the nitrates free pastrami, organic olive oils, frozen chocolate croissants, garlic Parmesan potatoes, Gyros meat, kumato tomatoes, organic juices, chicken lemon grass egg rolls, chicken Tikka pastries , green chili chicken burritos, the salsas, the reduced guilt popcorn etc. etc. What Trader Joe's does not carry in Colorado are the potato chips with no salt. Sounds strange but I got addicted to them when I lived in California. Without the salt, the taste of the potatoes and the oil are the prevalent flavors. Delicious! They are called habeas non saltus. Which is a play on words in Latin that means I have no salt. Salt in Latin is Salis but you got the message if you went to catholic school and had to study Latin. I will return! read more

We usually come to this store to grocery shop on the weekend and is usually clean, but today it's particularly filthy; the overall store is dirty with pieces of paper and dirt on the floor and the women's bathroom is filthy. One stall is out of order and the floor has dirt on it with visible mud prints. I hope management reads this review and takes action. 6/1/19 We came again to shop and the store wasn't as dirty; however, the women's bathroom was filthier than the previous time we were here. I was so disgusted I didn't use the facilities. Management has not answered or done anything to fix this issue. read more

Great location- easy to find and such friendly, easy going staff. This is my first visit to this location and I think it is the best one I have shopped at thus far. The store is neat, open and staff have exceptional positive attitudes. They great you and see if there is anything in particular that you are looking for. I love TJ's- wish they had one on Oahu! The snack selection never disappoints, I love their new item section as well. This time, I brought home snicker doodle cookies- the last time, i made the mistake of buying only one box! Their frozen dinner selections are always good. Since I was on a business trip, I tossed some frozen dinners into my cart and grabbed a few bags of pre-cut veges and fresh fruit. This simplified my week in town. The prices are low, which makes shopping here even better. read more

Who doesn't love a good Trader Joe's Sunday funday? While I don't recommend visiting on a Sunday to experience the rush of customers, there's a good reason there's always a line out of the door. Either that or it's because this is the only TJ's location in COS. Either way, count me in. Masks are required. You can guarantee the shopping carts are wiped clean after each use. The flowers always catch my eye as soon as I walk in. Gets me every time. Produce is much cheaper than retail grocery stores. And their meat and cheese assortments are tough to match. I won't purchase a cut of filet from any other store than TJ's moving forward. You're welcome. I especially appreciate the friendly and helpful staff ringing up and bagging our grocery's. They are always offering their best suggestions and it doesn't go unnoticed. Once they build and open their wine store, I can imagine the overflow of guests as I know I'll be one of them read more

I am on a facebook site where people rave about how great the TJ employees are. I think that is true of the cashiers and the people that help you find stuff. The staff over in the customer service area are not the same. If you go over there to return something you stand there like you are invisible. They totally ignore you. I do not get it at all. Where is the customer consideration in this are that you see every where else? 5 stars for everyone else and 2 stars for these people. read more
