Super friendly and helpful staff at this location. This store is larger and had more groceries that either the Orange or Santa Ana locations. I came in specifically for chicken broth and one of the staff pointed out the low sodium version for the same price at $1.99 per unit. He encouraged me to go with the lower sodium chicken broth as it is significantly lower in salt and therefore much healthier. I for one, appreciated his feedback and opted for the low sodium version. Consequently, I couldn't tell any discernible difference after cooking with this product. It tasted great, so I was pretty pleased with the results. Yeah, thanks a bunch Trader Joe's! read more

Staff awesome. Atmosphere great as well as the selection and prices . I love the cookie butter . I love trader Joe's especially this one

Just had some great talapia from traders and it was super easy! I love just roaming the isles to see what i can find. Not a huge fan of the seaweed snack though. A little fishy for my taste. And wine tasting while grocery shopping?! Does it get any better? read more

A little on the crowded side, but always a great shopping experience. The staff is always friendly, shelves are always stocked and they even have a wine tasting bar! read more

I've been going to this Trader Joe's for years, it's really good. They moved things around and improved their selection so really tough to beat. Great prices! They never run out of anything, well stocked. The wine selection is decent and the staff is very friendly and helpful. read more

Trader Joe's is awesome! Great selection of everything and delicious samples as always. Last time I got a bunch of funny looks for buying pumpkin beer, pumpkin butter, pumpkin cream cheese, pumpkin beer, and pumpkin bread in the same trip but I forgive them... read more

Very nice store. Always has great deals and specials. The staff was very friendly and helpful and actually got us to buy a new beer to try. Great sellers!!! read more

One of my most favorite places. My daughters love to come here too, they eat bananas and organic fruit leathers, taste samples at the sample counter then get suckers for finding Mandy all while I shop. Love all of their products, natural, organic and great prices. Cheese and Wine!! read more

I will never move to a town that does not have a Trader Joes nearby! I would most definitely starve!

I went into Traders Joes to find these great tasty ginger cookies I had tried at work. I dont know but I ended up in the wine isle and and the wine tasterguy was thier and saw I was having trouble choosing a wine and he was already closed but told me to walk in on anyway... I showed my ID and he gave me a taste of two differnt wines and told him I liked the sweeter one better and gave a quick 101 wine class that it would be called fruiter not sweeter... Well in the end I appreciated the quick class and last minute wine tasting and I went with the white zifandel and Tiple Ginger Snaps... read more

Trader Joe's - They were so good that they are all gone now - Grocery Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Love Trader Joe's so easy to run in and grad lunch or dinner. They have some super yummy spring rolls! Always a fan of TJ! So many gluten free options, so those of us with celiac can still eat some easy to prepare delicious meals. read more

Best trader how's in the county.. BIG, great selection, super cool staff, and last but NOT LEAST the daily wine tasting!! By far, my top pick for grocery shopping in the area. read more

Very much enjoyed that the bag boy helped me with my groceries and took them to my car

This is the best Trader Joe's I've ever been to. Others are always crowded, and parking is a nightmare. But I've never hardly had to wait in line here, and I go at all times of day. There are so many registers, so there is almost always one open, and if not, then the wait is short. The staff is friendly as always. read more

My favorite grocery place! In love with it. Everything there tastes so fresh and organic, I feel so healthy in there :). One of my favorite things there is their lemonade. It is so delicious and my favorite lemonade. Overall this is the best grocery place and always has a great selection. read more

Be careful in the parking lot! Spaces can be kind of tight. The layout of this TJ is more confusing than the other ones I've been to, but it has all the great food. Wonderful service (as usual!) :) read more

Trader Joe's is a specialty food store that provides its own brands of specialty food items. You can get most of your staples here: milk, eggs, meats, fruits and vegetables. If you need frozen foods, you can get them here as well. They have pre-made dinners and ready to eat meals such as preprepared salads and sandwiches. They usually have taste tests in the back. Their wine selection is extensive and I even found a special secret wine that they had in the back but I had to ask the store manager. They have vitamins, supplements, probiotics, and just about anything you need. I rarely shop elsewhere. The only thing that you are not going to get here is ready to eat food like those whole roasted chickens or BBQ ribs at Ralph's or Safeway. It is, as some might call it, an excellent "food library". read more

These guys are amazing. The Bristol Street will save Charles Shaw boxes for you without cutting the lids off if you need small, strong moving boxes. read more

Great store, but it's the emlpoyees at this location that make this one of their best!

Healthy store in our community. Great location, friendly people and healthy food. Huge variety of cheeses and wines. Nice price for good quality. read more

Love this trader joes! It has the biggest and best selection of fresh flowers at very reasonable price. The staff is super friendly and helpful which makes my weekly shopping trip more enjoyable. read more

Never in my life have I had a cashier as kind as a guy named Matt! I was waiting in a long line and was dying to cook up the food in my basket. Matt saw the long line and quickly opened up a new line. He was friendly and helpful and got me out the door in a heartbeat. If you're scrambling to make a quick healthy meal, I recommend their frozen Asian Chicken. I'm no where near a decent cook but when I make this dish for my family it is always gone in less than 10 minutes! read more

I got into a fight in this place. I won and got free cake, then i was never alowed back! Trader joes? More like trader høes

I don't shop for produce anywhere but Trader Joe's! The freshest, best tasting produce, great customer service and great products from wine to frozen goods. I know Trader Joe's are no secret but if you don't do at least a portion of your grocery shopping at Trader Joe's then you're doing something wrong. read more

This is my favorite grocery store! I love the selection, and the staff is gret. I try and eat pretty healthy and TJs has everything I need. The checkers are always really friendly and upbeat. Overall just a great place to shop. read more

Crystal just checked me out and she is hilarious! A witty cashier always makes a trip to the grocery store far more enjoyable. Thanks Crystal, don't lose your shine! read more

The whole trader joes establishment I give 3 stars but since I go here for wine, cheese, and bread quite often I'm giving this one 4 stars. Plenty of parking, a good location, and wine tasting make it a fun place to go. I often think about all their packaged food, the certified organic labels and the free range whatever bullshit. They even go as far as cutting Brussels sprouts and celery for you... That's what makes it worth buying? Come on now. I think maybe people think that free range chickens run around in a field where they eat fresh corn and grains haha. No way. I also like how putting pre-made hollandaise, and pesto, salsa, seasoned meats, and frozen deveined shrimp make someone the ultimate home cook! Yeah, trader joes makes life a bit easier and helps people sleep at night but you aren't saving money or anything. the people that work there are friendly and helpful, It makes the experience that much better. I enjoy making this spot one of my weekly stops. read more

Love this grocery store. 99 cent cards...beautiful and wrapped in plastic. Great produce and food items.

The only criticism I could possibly have about this store, is that it's often very crowded. But I can't blame people for wanting to shop there. The staff are fantastic, and I consider this my neighborhood store. read more

This is one of the 2 TJ's locations that we've been shopping at for 3 years now. Perhaps that's why the staff is so friendly and helpful - they've seen us for a long, long time now and my wife insists on packing her own bags so that helps things out when the store gets crowded. The Carne Asada is one of the choice items but there's so much more - the Grapefruit and Mango Passion Fruit juice, the Volcano Blood Orange Juice - the reasonably priced, scrumptious desserts (Mango Passion Exotique, Berry Tart, Wheat Tiramisu, Mango Mochi, Chocolate Ganache) - the Irish butter, eggs with dark yolk, Wines and spirits at unbeatable prices (Chimayo Beer and Black Mountain Pinot Noir), Frozen Naans (weirdly better than the fresh ones), Almondina cookies, Stilton (I haven't found a comparable value at Bristol Farms) and ... I must stop now since I'm just embarrassing myself. Good evening folks, my name is Ashish and I'm a TJ-aholic. read more

I don't know what I would do without my neighborhood Trader Joe's. Love them and their prices. :-)

Love this Trader Joe's location! Just a few blocks from my house, I get almost all of our groceries here. The staff are all so friendly, the store itself is super clean. The $3.99 flowers are my favorite! The succulents are a great addition to their garden section as well. Not to mention, the orchid I purchased lasted from February when we moved into our apartment until just recently. Wine and beer selection is fantastic and relatively cheap. Plus all of the pumpkin flavored additions for fall are amazing!!!! read more

Fun Staff. Fun Food. Love my Trader Joe's. Thanks for having Lactaid Milk on your shelf now. xoxoxoxoxox

As usual TJ's is the place to go for a quick lunch that won't break the bank. I love cheese and TJ's is the place to go for a good selection and a good price. The people that work there are REALLY NICE and always willing to help you if you need it, like helping you out to the car if you have a broken hand or something. read more

I absolutely love Trader Joes. This is the one I most frequently go to but I have never had a bad experience at any of their stores. Their employees are super helpful. Thanks for always making my grocery shopping experience great! read more

This is normally my favorite Trader Joes. But on Easter Sunday I was disappointed about something. I was going down the aisle and a couple had a dog in a doggie bed placed in their cart where a child would normally sit. This dog was obviously not a service dog nor a law enforcement animal. Service animals do not ride in carts. Either someone's pet or possibly an emotional support animal. But regardless, Federal and State food safety laws clearly state that other than a service or law enforcement animal no other animals are allowed in grocery stores. If they were carrying the dog, it may have been more palatable, but the dog and his hairy bed were in a cart where others place their food. Again, this is in clear violation of health code laws and management should have advised them of such. I am too a dog owner, and I love to take my dog anywhere I can. But I am very respectful of where to and where not to take my dog. Ironically, as we were leaving the store, a very cute small white dog was tied up to the bike rack. Thank you to that kind owner for being respectful of others. read more

Love my TJ's. Always happy, helpful employees. Healthy choices and a good variety as well. TJ's is my number one grocery store.

Ok...so here goes my first Yelp review. I really like Trader Joe's, they'll have stuff that the typical supermarket won't have...such as this delicious Belgian beer called "Frambois" . The other night, my friend and I didn't have any plans to go out so we just did the "stay at home" drinking thing and she introduced me to this beer and it was GREAT. I normally don't drink beer in fear of getting that belly...but this is not an ordinary beer. The raspberry flavor for this brand is quite YUM... :) So anyhow, i asked my friend where she got this beer and she told me she could only find it at Trader Joes.. So i took my ass down there and found it! The only thing i don't like about TJ's is...they use paper bags with unsecured handles...As i walked out, the bag ripped and broke my 2 bottles :( I guess the person before me had something wet that had gotten on the bag up counter and it got my back wet! Plastic bags would be a definite +++ read more

I go to trader Joes all the time, and really like their product. But today I went in bought some Trader Joes Caesar salad. Due date was 8/18/15. The lettuce was brown, the white of the leaf was brown on most of it. That is not right. Tried to down load pictures not working. read more

It pains me to write this as I LOVE Trader Joe's. But lately, not this location. I know the parking is sketchy, ant the aisles are cramped, but it is what it is. My complaint recently has been that they always seem to be out of the items advertised in the Fearless Flyer. I went just last week in response to the recent mailing and of the 16 items I marked on the enclosed shopping list, they had 5 of them! And this is not an isolated incident. My wife and I always used to joke that we couldn't go into Trader Joe's without going completely crazy and buying everything! Now, we go in there and struggle to find the things we have on our list. Enough negativity. They do have a great selection of quality, inexpensive wines, beers and spirits. And their cheese selection is pretty comprehensive as well. Most of their products are of high quality, however, we have experienced a few disasters. At least our mistakes haven't cost a bunch of money as Traders is reasonably priced. We love Trader Joe's, but are going to try the new one that opened up on Brookhurst. I am told it is very nice. Hopefully they are better stocked with their sale items. read more
