Every time I shop here I am impressed. The manager's behind the desk are so helpful. Every person I ask about a product or what is great to buy etc. is a pleasant experience. Tonight one employee went in the back and searched for a product which he found out was discontinued. He completely went out of his way. The checkers are friendly and chatty. As far as COVID, they are super cautious. Extremely efficient staff. read more

This has been our go-to TJs location during COVID. They've done a great job at keeping the number of people in the store low, sanitizing, and generally making it feel like a clean and safe place to shop. Everyone is always super friendly too. read more

TJ's is a great place - I"ve shopped there for years and take their fresh produce and low prices for granted. What's even better is their great customer service. And, today, great customer service ranged into stellar. kudos to their managers and especially to "Moose" who made my Saturday morning chore pleasant. Brilliant with children and grumpy sleepy patrons, Moose's good nature and helpful manner were greatly appreciated! Thanks Moose! (I'd have given them ten stars if i could have.) read more

The samples are a must try each time you enter a Trader Joe's. It is a good way to try some of the products they offer year round or seasonal. Honestly, I am biased because I love the how inexpensive everything is at Trader Joe's. This store is cool, its clean and the staff is super friendly. I always know what I want since I usually stop here to avoid the traffic on my way home from work. read more

I love me some Trader Joe's. Budget eclectic is the simplest way to describe the selection of goods at Trader Joe's. Some finds are really great, some not so much, but either way is more interesting than standard supermarket fare. For anyone not ever having actually been to a Trader Joe's, don't worry about reading reviews & just go. The girlfriend & I happened to be roaming nearby on a nice Sunday evening & decided to do a little grocery shopping on the way home from dinner. A couple of my latest Trader Joe's favorites are the frozen strawberries & the frozen blueberries, fantastic for blended smoothie drinks & home-made ice cream. With our chosen goodies in the basket, we headed to the checkout where we were tended to by a friendly cashier. This particular location, being on a frontage road next to the freeway, is a little odd getting into & out of, but there is plenty of parking. This Trader Joe's is like most others but with its own idiosyncrasies. In a way, that too is emblematic of how Trader Joe's compares to major supermarket chains. It's like the others but different enough to be interesting. read more

I have been a TJ's customer for many years! Since 2020 I go back and forth in my mind whether I will continue to patronage this store. I wear a mask over my mouth and a shield over my face. I have asthma and start hyperventilating if I wear the mask over my nose. Every time I shop there I get hassled and harassed for not having the mask over my nose. Is there a Physician on staff? I don't legally have to even wear the mask. But, today topped the cake with my experience, not only did the 2 checkers make rude jestures and were disrespectful to me, I said something to the first girl and she went to the manager and then left. I do not want to be a customer at this Trader Joe's again. This was stressful and unnecessary! I hope that someone with authority at Trader Joe's reads this. I will not hesitate to share this experience otherwise. I don't get harassed at Safeway. read more

Brand spankin' new! Same old Trader Joe's items, including a big wine area, nice wide isles, tons of checkers, and a good parking lot. Exiting said parking lot can be difficult because there's no light or yield, so it's pretty chaotic at rush hour. This is a great location for a Trader Joe's as it's right off of 101 Northbound side! Not exclusive to this particular TJ's but still important enough to mention: dark chocolate covered almonds. YUM. read more

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

Trader Joe's in Greenbrae on Redwood Highway is a terrific place to shop for a ton of reasons. We feel very safe there. People keep their masks on and keep a distance, all carts are sprayed before you touch them, and there are lots of sprays to use to cleanse your hands. The choices of frozen foods are fabulous. So many options that please an entire family. I so appreciate not having to prepare seven dinners a week, especially during this Pandemic period. Every ethnic group can find personal meals. All employees have been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about their products. The prices of almost everything will put a smile on your faces. read more

The store gets a 5 for its selection, organization, and cleanliness. The customers get a 3.5 for their occasional pushiness, leaving children with their child carts unattended (my ankles - OUCH), and laziness about returning carts. The parking lot gets a 3. Sometimes very hard to make a left turn out, lack of midway cart returns results in spaces taken up by stray carts or else someone crams their cart in between your car and the lane dividers. Bonus: no bag fees (yet), restrooms, big wine section and crazy good liquor finds, nice plant selection. Compared to the store in San Rafael, this store is stellar. You know what I mean if you've been there. read more

Such commercial vision! The new Trader Joe's is right next to Men's Wearhouse. You can buy chocolate covered cherries and rent a tuxedo all in one stop. Check the pockets. read more

Poor Service! Employees are not properly trained and managed! I love Trader Joe's! It pains me to write a follow-up negative review of this particular store. But, alas, I must. I had another BAD experience here! Stupid me, I gave them another shot. It was near the end of the day, so I will give them a small break on having a lot of empty shelves. What I cannot let slip is the terrible customer service. This was my complaint last time too. My checker was, again, barely civil. She did mange to greet me, but then slipped into a personal, gossipy conversation with the bagger. It went on through my whole transaction to the point I got uncomfortable. I have never had this experience at any other TJ's. I hope that TJ's HQ reads some of their Yelp reviews and does something about the management of this store. This problem starts at the top. read more

This is not my favorite Trader Joe's by far. It's laid out differently than the one that I usually shop at but that's understandable; it gives it character. I love the prices and selection, plus the service is always friendly. My issue is the bathroom. I went in last night to grab a few things and went to use their gender neutral bathroom and it was absolutely disgusting. It had not been cleaned in what seemed a long while. So for that reason I can only give three stars. read more

Super chill TJs with all the stuff you need and then some. I grabbed my boyfriend's ass in the coffee/tea aisle and no one cared. We made out in frozen foods, got snacks, and this location also has coconut oil in individual serving packets. Win! read more

Trader Joes are usually the same all over with a few exceptions. Some TJs are smaller. I like that this one is larger. I will never go there on a weekend though. There are so many freaking rude people bumping into you with their baskets or their bodies its all you can do from just forgetting everything and leaving. I did not look for my usual favorites but just got some of the stock things like Truffle ravoli Sweet potato fries They have great prices at Tjs and they always have great vegetarian dishes. The people that work there though are slobs though. Either long unkempt hair ( this was on a male btw) or wrinkled shirts. What happened to dress codes? The cashier and box girl hardly acknowledge us though because they seemed to be to in love with each other. I dont buy vegetables from TJs though because they come from mexico. read more

Good selection of stuff - I personally think they have better variety than the San Rafael Joes... but maybe because it's a little easier to see and navigate. Those veggie premade spring rolls are pretty good, a little expensive - but a nice treat. I also really like the Edamame Chips (little green bags in the chips isle). And for a treat - those plantain chips in the White Bag (the ones n the Monkey bag are not as good - not sweet, just salty)... yum. My only hang up with TJs, is they package most of their produce way too much. All these Organic Loving Earth Friendly People - buying fresh produce packed in Styrofoam and plastic wrap... what's up with that TJs?? I mean, Hell - even McDonald's stopped using Styrofoam! :op read more

Great prices, especially for Marin. Good quality food and alcohol. Friendly, helpful staff. Easy parking.

We want to express our thanks to Michael Preuss, Crew Manager at TJ's in Corte Madera. Around Christmas time, we experienced an unexplained loss of our grocery bag after checking out . We did not realize it until we got home to Mill Valley. We had the receipt in my handbag, went back to the store and asked Michael Preuss if the bag had been turned in. It had not, but he took our receipt and replaced all the items we had purchased, adding a nice padded TJ's grocery bag to enclose them. We had not expected this gesture, it made us more fervent customers. He went beyond efficient public relations, showing kindness and taking matters in hand to make a wrong into a right. Michael Preuss is a credit to your business. read more

ONE OF BETTER TJ'S AROUND If you spend even a little time shopping at Trader Joe's, you know that some of them can be frustrating to shop at. Too little parking, crowded aisles, not enough checkers, not enough or too much floor space. Well, the Greenbrae location is the happy blend of all of the above items being just right. The store is actually much larger inside than would appear from the exterior. They have a really extensive prepared food, wine and cheese section I was here today, the afternoon of New Year's Eve. The store was crowded, for sure, but it was still easy to maneuver around. Compared to the San Rafael store, which is c-r-a-z-y crowded almost any time of year or day, I had room to move. When I got to the checkout, each and every checker was open, and I waited less than 5 minutes for my turn. Friendly, helpful stockers too. read more

The food is fresh and of exceptional quality. The staff is always helpful. I feel that I am a respected customer. Eduardo, one of the team members was so kind and helpful. Not many young people will go so far out of their way to help a senior citizen. I vote with my wallet and Trader Joe's has by vote as a business to aggressively support. read more

I'm just happy that traffic has been diverted to this store in Greenbrae. It makes my shopping experience in San Rafael sooo much easier. I can even stop here after Yoga on my way home, too. Talk about convenience. Life is so hard. read more

Checker's are nice! Staff is nice! Store is nice! Parking is not too much of a nightmare (but leaving the lot leaves much to be desired). Selection is the best of the several TJ's I've been too (Not sure how to compare it to San Rafael, since that place was too busy to really look around in). Only dislikes are produce...not a fan of my stuff being wrapped in plastic when it doesn't have to be, product spacing and organization makes it a bit hard to look around and absorb what's in the store, also, if you aren't there at the right time it's difficult to shop with people ducking in front of you and running into you. I don't have the TJ's stock memorized so it's hard for to just grab and go and also hard for me to look around with people jumping in my way. Their cheese and alcohol selection is fantastic! Prices are pretty darn great! read more

This is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Happy, helpful TJ workers, well-stocked shelves with all the great TJ bargains, blessedly EZ to check out. One star taken away because getting out of this parking lot is a challenge - and that's when it's NOT the height of the holiday season or heavy traffic times of day. TJs should be required to work with the City to put in a traffic light to ease clogging these streets and to minimize the chance of a serious accident - which I promise is going to happen. read more

i simply love Trader Joes, doesn't matter which one i enter! Quality food at low prices!! This one in Larkspur happens to be the one I frequent the most, comes complete with a very warm and welcoming staff and newly renovated/expanded wine section. I try to vary my TJ locations, ever notice different TJs will have different products? read more

All Trader Joe's, regardless of where in the country you go, share the same things in common: great prices, good selection of produce, nice wine aisle, unique ready-to-eat foodss, occasionally claustrophobic aisles, helpful employees, clean stores and not enough parking. This store features all of the above, so knowing this and planning ahead makes for a great shopping experience. The best time to shop is within the first few hours of the store being open, usually before noon. If you can do that, you will most likely enjoy shopping at this, or any other TJ's. read more

Just wanted to praise the staff for extra kindness yesterday. We went in for a couple of our regular items and one -- the basic semi-sweet chocolate chips -- just wasn't in its usual place. I went to the front desk and the lady there, after seeing that the computer said they were in stock, immediately left the desk and went back into the stock room to see if there were some there. She came out saying they seemed to be out, but to check the next day. So I continued looking around for other things, and about three or four minutes later two entirely different employees came out of the stock room and one said "Are you the lady who wanted the chocolate chips?". They had a new box, and opened it for me. Obviously the lady had told them about the issue and I guess described me, so they knew who to offer them to. I thought that was really top-notch personal service. I have had employees leave the desk before to find something for me, but this was another level of care. Thank you, guys! We'll be back. (Also, their prices are very good for so many things, and the frozen meals are excellent.) read more

Good store with great people but it's very small and gets way crowded & cramped, especially when ppl are using the huge shopping carts. I assume TJs stocks big carts to encourage more buying, but I'd suggest they buy smaller carts more suitable for a small store like this (there are a few almost-child-size buggies but they always seem out when I go). read more

This location is small and crowded with customer at times. Other than that Cashier are friendly and fast.

Big ol' parking lot, nice wide lanes. Little carts for the toddlers, and blissfully short lines. And, it's right off 101. read more

This is one of the better Trader Joe locations I've visited. It can be a zoo on the weekends and evenings, so plan accordingly. Also, getting in and out of the parking lot is enough to make you want to punch a kitten. The Great + Wide aisles (compared to other TJ's) + A great selection of products + Amazing staff + Damn cheap! The Average o Crowded, but manageable if you go at the right times. The Poor - The parking lot is a nightmare read more

If you need to go to the bathroom at Trader Joe's I would highly advise that you don't. I was in there today and it was a mess. Everything was filthy. Everything. The floors have filled in between the tiles and the toilet was filthy and the garbage can was filthy and the walls were filthy and the urinal was filthy. Geez. This is a grocery store. Not a gas station. Horrible. read more

Have been going to TJ's for almost 25 years. The first one I visited was the original store in Pasadena, CA. I remember at the time they didn't even have proper shelves and displays, but everything was displayed in the boxes the goods came in. Now they of course are everywhere and is a household name. I believe there are 4 locations in Marin County alone. This location is very conveniently located right off of the 101 freeway. The parking lot is kind if a nightmare though. With the rude and snooty people in Marin County it can be quite an interesting experience. I go to TJ's for some specific things like flowers, wine, their frozen hash brown patties, vitamins, olive oil, pumpernickel bread. What they have is very affordably priced. If I have to buy snacks for a picnic I usually end up shopping there also. read more

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

Great customer service from the managers to the checkers. I have had to go to the San Rafael location because this store has been out of items more frequently. Great, friendly store! read more

Certainly no complaints about this Trader Joes, great location, easy to get into if you're going North on the 101. The parking lot will most likely be full, it's a popular store but you will eventually find a spot. I find the staff are always friendly, they remember you and will help you out to your car if you need it. Clean store and one of my favorite TJ's! Try the spicy hummus, the turkey breakfast burritos, and the pizza bites! read more

Cheerful and helpful staff PLUS did not raise prices during pandemic. Integrity, service and community. Fabulous store.

We were so glad that Trader Joe's opened a new location in Marin - the parking situation in San Rafael makes that location intolerable (Unless you go at 8am on Saturday morning.) and things weren't much better up in Novato now that that store has been discovered. (Plus there is the drive up there.) If you've never been to a Trader Joe's, you need to go. They have a fantastic selection of merchandise when you consider the size of their stores. In addition, their prices are generally lower than almost anywhere else - items such as cereal, milk, Fage yogurt and so on. And their quality is good as well. We're always finding interesting and tasty products here - their new line of frozen hors d'oeuvers are fantastic! I've always found the store to be clean and the staff to be helpful. The aisles do get picked over pretty badly later in the day, but they always seem to be well stocked early in the day, so I try to go then. Personally, I'm not that crazy about their meats and produce, but they sell lots of both, so I'm guessing I am in the minority there. Parking never seems to be a problem - but I'm not averse to walking from one side of the parking lot to the other to get to where I am going. Getting out of the parking lot can be a bit of a problem at times, but there is another exit from the parking lot which helps. This is definitely a great addition to the Trader Joe's empire. read more

Parking is easy, even during rush hour time. I go in, get delightful, little meals that are fresh and tasty, hustle through a line (there are always enough registers open; I've never waited too long). The staff are so friendly, never look irritated when I flag them down for a question about where something is (which is usually riiiiiiiiiight in front of my face), and get through the lines with fresh attitudes. Today I got a fantastic hummus, TJ brand, with a jalepeno spiciness in the middle that was so damn good. I got that, carrots and a salad for $7. Yeah.... what's not to love? read more

Closest TJ's to me, and it has everything I need. And if it doesn't carry something, I can just hop back onto the freeway to Mollie Stone's or Safeway 1 exit away. Advise not to shop on Sunday evenings because it gets really packed. read more

Being as I don't cook, Trader Joe's is a godsend. I have never been disappointed with any of their pre-packaged or frozen meals. They are always creating new products, and the samples they offer are helpful in discovering just what they are. The prices are fantastic, and the employees have never been anything but friendly. I love that they always use paper bags, and credit you if you bring your own. read more

The thing that makes this Trader Joe's a gem in Marin, and even one that I choose over the one in Laurel Heights on Masonic right next to my office - the staff actually treats us - the customers - like human beings. Real humans who have busy lives and who just want their experience at the grocery store to be as stress free and fast as possible; but also as comfortable as possible. It's not something I can even put my finger on exactly, but everyone who works here just gets it, is down to earth, and is willing to do those extra things that make you feel like you're not just a barcode burden. They appreciate my business, and that's why I go here over other grocery stores. Plus they have awesome cheap tamales. And cheap sparkling water. And really amazing cookies. Very highly recommend! read more

I've got to say, I'm giving this 5 star review mainly because of a man I met tonight named Forrest. I'd say he might be the sweetest employee I've ever met. He made my night with his kindness.Trader Joe's is lucky to have him and I hope they know it! I'd drive from far away for that customer service. THANK YOU FORREST!!! :) read more
