I like shopping at Trader Joe's but sometimes it can be a hassle to shop at the San Francisco locations. The block of 4th street Trader Joe's in downtown San Francisco can be a bit disruptive. Getting out of the parking lot at the Masonic street Traders Joes can be challenging. The Traders Joes at Hyde street has some interesting characters around and in it. I like to enjoy a quieter shopping experience sometimes than the chaos of the city. I like going to the San Francisco next door neighbor of Daly City Trader Joe's at Westlake. There is plenty of parking at Westlake and easy access to shop for groceries. On a Spring stroll going to the city Nextdoor ( not the website or app) to San Francisco to shop for groceries at Traders Joes in Daly City's Westlake Shopping Center. Inside you will find lots of flowers, salads, sauces, ice cream , wine, and plenty of cheese like the ones in SF. You may only see mad crowds when they release their pastel tote bags like the one possibly dropping on Monday March 23 ( wink wink). After shopping at Traders Joes there are hella of places to eat at Westlake like sushi at Spiral Japanese Cuisine or deep dish pizza at Blue line Pizza and for seafood scramble egg chow fun and the mango shrimp go to Banana Island. Going to some San Francisco Trader's Joe's come with some "red flags "but I see a lot social media "brags" about these Trader Joe's "tote bags"which sells in Europe quadruple the Trader Joe's California retail "price tags" Outside the Trader Joe's in DC ( Daly City) compared to 4th street in SF Trader Joe's the people have a different "demeanor" Traders Joes inside compared to some other grocery chainstores the food is much "greener" they have everything from the flowers to household multipurpose "cleaner " Trader Joe's was founded in 1958 in "Pasadena" read more

Great location for a TJs. Staff is always friendly, but parking can be tough during peak hours. Popular items also often sell out so best to come in the morning read more

I was able to come to this Trader Joe's and stock up on all of my TJ favorites. The store is well stocked, clean, and easy to maintain. Parking is a bit difficult as it's a shared lot in the busy Westlake strip mall but we were able to find something fairly easily. read more

Thanksgiving headquarters if you don't want to cook some big turkey yourself. Special cranberry orange sauce, fully cooked turkey breast, stuffing, grilled vegetables and a pumpkin pie that even after a day or two doesn't develop a soggy crust. This store has everything you need for a small group of people gathering for Thanksgiving - without any work at all - except heating stuff up. If you have a group of 6 or less I wouldn't deal with the hassle of cooking a turkey for 7 hours - who needs that? Who has time for that? Who wants to clean that up? Here you can get a fully cooked turkey breast - no work - just heat it up. Stuffing that is tasty and anything else you would need if you were hosting Thanksgiving for a small group. I suppose you could double up on the turkey breast, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and cranberry sauce and serve a group of 12 easily too. I love the TJs cranberry sauce with orange zest. I'm tired with the canned Ocean Spray. Its good to have it a little zesty. And the pumpkin pie seems like it has this space age crust that doesn't get soggy. I don't like soggy bottoms. Nobody likes soggy bottoms.... so get your pumpkin pie here. Really what brought me in the door this visit was the holiday decoration. ITs all sold out at all my local Tjs and it was here too. Don't sleep on anything if you see it here - its seasonal, its temporary - - and often - once its gone its gone. This particular location had the most large flower selection I've ever seen. There was a bouquet of orchids where each individual stalk had its own tiny water supply while in transit. I liked that. There was also another orchid in a little lantern style box. That was also very cute. I was looking for some things to put on the KitKat memorial - EVs in San Francisco are killing all the cats and I don't like it. They are too quiet. Cats evolved over the past 100 years with internal combustion engines and they are used to that now. My 1997 Passat TDI would never kill a cat - its loud enough they would all run off long before it got anywhere near. Not many more shopping days till Thanksgiving. I snapped up the last 100% cranberry juice - that stuff is so powerful its known to make my niece and nephew cry. I like it. Its powerful like the cinnamon broom sticks they are selling here. read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Daly City, California

What turned out to be a poor customer service experience transformed into an excellent customer service experience. I went along and purchased my regular groceries in this clean and tidy store. Meal options are always diverse. Love it. Had a highly dissatisfied experience at the cash register. Had a moment to debrief with Mike and I appreciated how we saw eye to eye. Treat people how you would like to be treated. There's a special way to "dance" in customer service whether it be in grocery stores or at restaurants. Generationally I think young adults are at a disadvantage in terms of having a prosperous opportunity to learn proper etiquette when they're little... seeing the full cycle now is terrifying. But Mike, you made my day. Forever loyal to your store. Thank you for understanding where I came from and was as polite as I could be today regarding the situation. I love Trader Joe's Westlake. Parking is a nightmare but I'll come just to give you business. read more

There is no need to arrive early and wait in line for the mini tote bags. I was about the 500 in line and when I left, there was still boxes to be opened. Come at 10 AM, no line then, for the next event. This store is very well organized. read more

I love this TJ! They have superb customer service! Always friendly and approachable esp during the canvas tote bag hype! And everything else that comes with it! Congrats for being so nice and service with a smile! Woot!! read more

Trader Joe's - Love it! Love TJs!! - Grocery Near Me - Daly City, California

Updating from 18 years ago. Yes I still go to this TJ. The shelf life on their products is way better now. Their food is hit or miss but otherwise mostly good. Prices are always decent. Employees always friendly and helpful. Makes me want to quit my job and work there because they must be happy working there! Clean store! read more

TJ is always a fun place to browse even if you don't need anything. Chances are i always need something. Just maybe I don't realize it till I get home and forgot an ingredient for my recipe. Floral section right when you walk in is wonderful, so much selection! Greeneries, flowers, roses, fillers, special seasonal plants or giftables. Flowers are always an easy gift if you need to pick up something quick Parking lot is annoying. Too congested read more

Was in the Bay Area visiting family. We came in to grab some groceries for breakfast and lunch. Trader Joe's doesn't disappoint. We love the quality and convenience and the service. I don't think I've visited these stores and been disappointed. Recommend these stores for sure read more

Never a bad experience where I have shopped countless times as I always enjoy the unique items that one finds compared to the Big Box supermarkets. I have had to return items which were unopened where I found out that we had these items at home. Tonight was one of those times where we bought a box of pearl onions only to later find a larger variety package of the same type of onions. Returned with a receipt to Customer Service where I was refunded $3.00 in which the actual cost was $2.99 to save me from carrying all the loose chandelier and those four Lincoln pennies. read more

Today, May 9th, Trader Joe's was packed, but one employee completely brightened the whole store! Autumn greeted everyone with the biggest smile and such a warm, happy energy that I joked her name should've been "Sunshine" instead. I even asked to speak to a supervisor so I could compliment her, only to find out SHE was the supervisor . Huge shoutout to Autumn for being so upbeat, cheerful, and kind to everyone in line. People like her truly make a difference! Thanks for blessing our morning! read more

GREAT ice cream, granola, yogurt, large chocolate bars (at reasonable prices)... and so much more. TJ has so much to offer, and they have tastes of seasonal or new items. Lots of well-prepared food ( salads, roll-ups, rice / noodle bowls) big variety. Frozen foods, meals too. Golden pineapple- beautiful, tasty Cheese & Wine- many kinds, and special varieties from all over the world - great prices$$ Fun to shop here. Not a Mega-store but carries everything you NEED for a smaller layout. Pick up their Newsletter, which is full of fun and food information. We love the peppermint toothpaste and little potted plants - cute! read more

Been coming to this TJ at Westlake Center for years. Parking in the lot is challenging but there are some good spots always available in the covered garage or on the side streets. Service and availability of items are usually exceptionally good. HOWEVER, there is a a very LOUD, overly talkative checker who shouts when too many people get in her line, but spends a long time blabbing without listening to customers. Everyone else is professional and great, read more

I come to this particular location because it's sooo convenient & the staff here are pleasantly chill. It's been awhile since I've been to TJs so I sooo needed to stock up on goodies. Spotted some new snacks such as kettle corn drizzled w/choc w/freeze dried strawberries. Get some regular stuff as well but found out some items were discontinued. BooHoo! Anyways next visit there'll be bound for something new to try. Until then, I got my goodies to eat. read more

I prefer coming to this Trader Joe's location in Daly City even though it is farther than the South San Francisco location. The parking here is more plentiful and easier to navigate. And the inside of this store is larger and more spacious. There is also something about their product placement / displays that make me notice new items (to me) that I just don't see at the Sunnyvale location I usually go to. The only odd thing is how they have separated the "bagged" salads from the "boxed" salads; they aren't even in adjacent refrigerated sections. There is a restroom at the back left corner of the store. read more

Westlake TJs always has everything I need and customer service is truly stellar! I dropped my keys and one of the cashiers immediately stopped what she was doing and rushed over to me to hand me my keys! Special shout-out to Marina who helped me carry water to my car since my shoulder was injured -- she was very patient and helpful. Thank you TJs!!! read more

My wife is a darker skinned South Asian woman, and the middle aged white female cashier was snarky and racist toward her without any prompting last month. Avoid this location at all costs. They may have a lot of Filipino clientele, but if you have a darker skin tone you may get treated like shit. Quotes from the cashier Nikki A. while my wife was getting charcuterie supplies: "I'm surprised you could get your bill under $30" "Enjoy your freedom while it lasts." Interaction was at 11/8/2025 Transaction 34521 Till 6 Store 0074 We kept the receipt. read more

Tammy at the Trader Joe's in Daly City is absolutely wonderful! She was kind, friendly, and went out of her way to make me feel right at home. Her warm smile and genuine attitude made my shopping experience so much better. You can really tell she loves what she does and cares about the people she helps. Trader Joe's is lucky to have her, thank you Tammy! for brightening my day! read more

It's Trader Joe's! They are kind, creative and sell what you need for less than other grocery stores. I wish they kept certain items year round, but that's okay. I pretty much just shop here and at Safeway and I can get everything I need for less than $300 a month. read more

Great staff, parking is usually busy so that doesn't bother me. I was able to grab dinner items and the team member named Tati was able to assist me with something that ran out. She was happy to check the stock for it and was successful. She was busy when I asked for assistance, yet she happily helped me. I appreciate her, thank you! read more

So this trader joe's is pretty good, love all their food, love their frozen foods. I just suggest putting more options for sandwich meat. Workers are very nice, they're helpful, and I like when they bring up small talk at the cashier, it makes me smile. I don't know why, but I sorta feel like the layout is confusing to me, I always spend 5 minutes in the store looking for something. Their bathroom is hideous too, I thought it would be a bit nicer, but no! The whole bathroom reeks of piss and there's not an ounce of fresh air in there. read more

Leana was absolutely amazing! She was so nice and bubbly from the moment she started scanning and made genuine conversation that instantly made me feel comfortable. She was also super informational and took the time to explain everything clearly, which I really appreciated. She even asked if I needed help out with my groceries! It was so busy yet she took her time and did not make me feel rushed at all! The total came out to $400, and honestly, the service made it completely worth it. Highly recommend this branch of trader joe's!! read more

One of the best things about living here in Daly City is that I have everything I need within a 2-mile radius from restaurants to department stores to home improvement centers. As far as groceries go, it's definitely a good thing to have a Trader Joe's in the vicinity! I've always been a huge fan of this chain, and I was lucky enough once to live across the street from one when I lived in Indianapolis! The prices are reasonable, the selection is great (especially the wine and cheese sections!), and the staff is always friendly and willing to help answer questions and suggest their personal favorite items. Finding a parking spot is very easy, especially since I like to get there right when they open at 8:00am. The store gets crowded fairly quickly, but the cashiers are very efficient and keep the checkout lines moving fast. All-in-all I just love Trader Joe's, and having one close to me in Daly City is even better! read more

The last time visiting this Trader Joe's was back when they were limiting the number of customers being allowed entrance , Geez That Sucked because it resulted in a LONG line to get in. Today , though the parking lot was very busy, but I was still able to quickly find a space, and because the entrance queue is gone getting in to shop was painless. As for the store it's larger then the one on Masonic resulting in wider aisles, and a floor plan that rarely feels crowded. As for the inventory, products were well stocked and because this is Trader Joe's the pricing does not wildly fluctuate. Today was just a simple shop of Orange Chicken to put in the freezer, some yummy Greek Salads for Lunches, and an impulse buy of Peanut Butter Pretzels, because as an adult I can. Check out was low stress , and the staff friendly resulting in an overall pleasant experience. read more

One of my favorite Trader Joes I just moved closer to the city and this one is always on my way back. It's a larger Trader Joe's, new everything. Staff are friendly and pretty large selection. Parking is there as well. Only thing I wish was different would be that they put their "'new" stuff with bigger signs maybe? Or in a same section. But overall, love this location! * must gets: Fresh flowers (plants): great price and selection Frozen: orange chicken, Birria taco, mini tacos, mochi ice cream Snacks: cheese (garlic) puffs, teriyaki beef jerky There's so much more but these are my to go to's! read more

Trader Joe's is a really good store. They have great brands/products. The store is clean, the staff are helpful. This particular store is a little bit smaller than the one I usually shop at. There wasn't as many options as I'm used to seeing, or maybe they were just out when I went. I was still able to leave with some good stuff, so I was satisfied. read more

Always great customer service when I come to this Trader Joes in Daly City. Eman is always so helpful- her customer service is top notch and Eman is such a hard worker.

First off I've been shopping at Trader Joe's for over 40 years... I have never ever had an experience like what just happened. I stopped into the store to pick up a couple of things for my Christmas Eve dinner I of course, brought in my ADA trained service animal, the majority of the customers were going gaga over. As I was walking towards the checkout line, a clownish individual walked up to me... didn't say hello kiss my foot or ask any questions just flat out told me do not bring your dog in the store anymore. I reached down and pulled out my ADA certification with dog tags mind you, my service animal not a fake one (like the lady had in the store...) one anyone can pay $100 to get fake credentials off of Amazon. Mine cost thousands and again my service dog was paired with me. I went to the desk to speak to a supervisor and found out that the clown was actually Jay the manager... so he walked up and I said I need to speak to your boss and he said I have NO boss. Again, that's incorrect and would not give me the phone number to the area supervisor the two gentlemen in Hawaiian shirts told me was a lady. I hope somebody from Trader Joe's reaches out because this behavior is both un warranted, unprofessional and can get you sued. read more

Quick take: Best snacks Trader Joe's! I love this place. I'm always in denial when I attempt to bring only 1 reusable tote into the store. Why?! I need at least 3 bags every single time. TJ's has the best customer service and snacks. So this time I dropped by to pick up a box of tea. Lol Yeah, 1 full cart later I was ready to head up to the checkout area. Endless possibilities for a grocery store treasure hunt. TJ's never disappoints. I dare you to go inside and only buy one item. Happy shopping! read more

This place has always been great with customer service & makes me feel welcome. TJs is my 1st spot when I think of getting groceries. I'm very impressed by the way they handled the new covid19 sanitation and distancing methods. I like how there's no ambiguity with all the markings on the floor of where to stand and so on. There are sanitize wipes if they don't run out. Will most definitely be back as usual. But following your sign, will try not to make that often of grocery run. read more

Other than shopping at the Trader Joe's of the Stonestown area... I also like going to this Trader Joe's location as well...

For me this Trader Joe's location of Daly City Ca is a great place to shop at!!! read more

I went to Trader Joes in Charlottesville and when I entered the checkout line a woman came up and without asking took my personal bag out of my hand which was very arrogant. She and her female friend checked out my purchases without so much as looking at me, finished and without looking at me did what they could to send me out of the store. It was like they hated me for some reason. For some reason they felt the need to be dismissive, rude, and discriminatory. I'm surprised Trader Joes hires such people or does not recognize or dismiss those of any gender who treat people with disrespect. That's a failure of management oversight. read more
