I'm a seasoned Trader Joe's shopper who traveled a bit out of my way to visit this location--and I'm so glad I did! This store is a gem. Not only was the parking much easier than at many other Bay Area TJ's, but the vibe here is truly top-tier. The energy from the crew is contagious; they are all bright, helpful, and genuinely seem happy to be there. It's even better than the already-high TJ's standard. A special shout-out to C. Fran at the register (yesterday, 12/3/2025). Her service was proactive and friendly. She made sure I was all set with my items, offering a box for the wine and ensuring I had everything I needed. If you're looking for a Trader Joe's that makes grocery shopping feel like a pleasure, this is the one. Five stars! read more

So its really just a typical Trader Joe's. The parking can be a bit of a nightmare as the strip mall is a busy one. The store is medium sized but it is well stocked and the staff friendly and efficient. It not our regular store but we do stop here from time to time. read more

Very Friendly and helpful staff, store well stocked. Also when asked if any seasonal product is going to be in stock.-

This is a service review. I shop at the Homestead/Los Altos TJ 1-2 times per week, and spend at least $100, so I am familiar with the place. I have never had a problem before, but management has hired a new batch of baby faced sophs who are faster than you and I and they are out to prove it. I was trying to give my son a sense of waste by making him pay cash for a bag of snacks he threw away: the newbie Asian cashier (I am Asian too, BTY) was put out by the 45 seconds it was taking me to fish out $3.29. He began to rap his fingers real loudly to show his impatience--a whole 40 seconds, so naturally I stopped to stare at his rude body language. In that moment I appreciated all the wonderful cashiers I've met in the past who have been patient and understood the service industry. Considering how plum these positions are, I'm amazed this person was hired. read more

This Trader Joes, has some of the best staff, I would give them 5 Stars. Always helpful, and kind. Great prices, quality and variety on cheeses, and their eggs the same. They used to carry (up till 4 weeks ago) a fantastic Grassfed organic milk... & the price was great. However, T.J in general, seems to saddly loose good products a little to often. The return policy is impeccable, however, had to return an unusual amount of products the past 6 month... Avocado, walnuts, carrots, sunflower seeds, Arugula ... ( often essential to a meal, and it has been inconvenient). Hope they'll fix this, and I trust they are trying their best. Good wine selection, and prices are great. Parking is generally a challenge/ nightmare. Other than that, I do like this store, many great finds of good produce. read more

Bad and almost scary vibes from the older Asian guy cashier. Don't know if he was just tired but he stared at us when we were in line. I kind of smiled back, but he looked like Resident Evil angry so I just looked away. Then when our turn came, he started to toss our items one by one. Trader Joe's workers usually has small talk, but this guy said nothing. Not sure if I pissed him off, but my wife mentioned how the worker was staring at her so I wasn't the only one that felt uncomfortable. Other than that, it's the usual great Trader Joe's. A little compact, but they are well stocked. Won't be coming back to this Trader Joe's. Trans 232834 read more

They have so many fresh and frozen foods I like. The service is always great and they will even put the bags and cases of water in your car

They should do a case study of TJ so others can emulate them. Great products and a consistently cheerful, friendly, and helpful staff. This location is no different. Quick in and out and left with what I was looking for and a smile. read more

Manager Brett P., you ROCK! Thank you for taking the time during a very busy Sunday evening rush to check for me when the Sweetened Dried Orange Slices were going to be restocked. And then as I was in the midst of checking out, thank you for finding me because you located a few packages of the Orange Slices so I didn't need to go back to pick them up tomorrow! I'm so appreciative of your extra brilliant warm and professional effort. Thank you! read more

I probably shop here 3 or 4 times a month. I loved my trader joes in Irvine and all the team members were so personable and friendly - even made a few friend for how often I went. Here it kinda feels like a get what you need, wait, pay, then leave. Which is COMPLETELY fine because um, HELLO? Pandemic, social distance, masks! Sometimes there's a wait on weekends during this stay at home order so lately I try to go 2x a month and get all the groceries I need 2 weeks at a time. They have a pretty decent selections and the team members are knowledgeable. There was a time I asked for Eucalyptus, and they said they'd order some more and to come again next week. And when I came they were sold our again, haha. It happens, very popular to put Eucalyptus on top of shower heads in the June-ish Tiktok phase. Another time I asked if they had french fry chips in stock and they said they thought they did, but turned out it was discontinued after asking someone else. And another time this worker went above and beyond to find me some fettucine as I was just not able to find it for some reason! Random memories and experiences, most positive! Thanks, Trader Joes! read more

Had a handful of items and this girl said we are not allowed to take the cart outside after checking out. Which was never heard of shopping at other locations. Walked outside literally saw two people pushing carts to their cars. One even helped me open my car door. read more

Trader Joe's is basically TJ ,right ? But this one I have to say typically always find what I'm looking for even with the supply chain issue Store is very clean and like is their trademark ,the staff is super friendly and just seem so happy all the time. Produce area well stocked although it did seem some of the items little less the normal standard quality , but I expect this is due to delivery issues , so can't ding them Only reason this store does not get 5 star is it is a smaller one , so some stuff you might not find. And if you go during peek hours the parking is not the greatest as it shares shopping are with other name brand store that attract traffic Otherwise give it a try read more

Today I attended a funeral of an elder who was like a mother to me. I went to This Trader Joe before the burial, wanting to buy a bouquet of flower, but don't know where to start. The lady from customer service was very nice and kind, she not only offer to help me with my flower bouquet (not a standard service), she ended up gifting this flower bouquet to me. I am grateful to receive such kind gesture during a time like this, and I am sorry for not catching the nice lady's name. I was bathed in my own emotion and I could barely think of anything else. Thank you so much for your help. The bouquet of flower looked very pretty and I will never forget what you did for me today. read more

Probably the friendliest staff of all the West. SJ area. Clean and well organized. The parking lot, like all TJ parking lots, is a bit of a nightmare. read more

What a gem of a store. There is always a line to enter, but it always moves quickly. Staff are super friendly and always hustling. Every time I have asked if they have a salad that is out, they go in the back and bring me one from the stock! The staff remember me and ask about my family. Stop at the new items section at the end of the aisle which I like to call the "IPO section" and try out new offerings. Parking is tough, but not impossible. read more

Walked into your store at about 8:50PM this past Tuesday evening, April 25, 2023. I only had a few things to pick up (like 10 items). Another woman and I were the only ones left in the store. At about 8:55, two of the female workers there walked up to me as I was rushing to get out of the store telling me you were about to close. I said that I realized that and was on my way to the checkout. When the second one came up to me only a minute later, I said I was leaving and she said, "We want to go home too!" in a defiant, loud manner. I was appalled. With all that said, I just chalked it up to how difficult it must be to hire good help. If management is even remotely keeping an eye out for feedback, I hope this review is helpful. read more

I received terrible customer service from Amanda M. She was rude and extremely unprofessional which I don't think Trader Joe's is looking for in a crew member. I went in with a smile and left with a frown. Pretty much every member of the TJ's crew is kind, polite and ready to help. Today Amanda M. was really ill tempered, curt with her replies and, in my opinion, just a horrible example of customer service. read more

Found this on ND. I'll be posting on FB soon. Just wrong how this issue was handled. TJ's does not care. read more

I like viewing all the creative dishes: Trader Joes's does the work, great for working people or for those who want to relax. And at great prices. Potato pancakes, waffles, toaster waffles, cinnamon toast, bananas, TJ's Sauvignon blanc, wild mushroom ravioli, roasted tomato linguine, raspberry and blueberry jellies and TJ's vanilla ice cream are my favorites. I received a bouquet of white and pink roses, baby red roses, and baby's breath--the most beautiful bouquet that I have ever received. Parking is restricted, and as TJ's is consbusy, I like to go during less crowded times. I am taking off o read more

I stopped by this morning to pick up some things for a Valentine's Day charcuterie board. It was not as busy as I was expecting, and there were only a few people waiting in line to get in. Jim was working at the door and offered Valentine's Day stickers. He was so kind and friendly! I normally don't feel compelled to write reviews for grocery stores, but I wanted to write one just because of him. read more

This Trader Joe's in Sunnyvale is my Go-To store for grocery shopping. Like any other Trader Joe's you can not really beat their price. I try to buy their store-brand organic variety if possible. My regular items are organic tofu, veggie gyoza, organic canned beans, and organic bananas. read more

I love TJ for so many reasons and this one is 6 minute run, or 12 minute walk from my home. I just love the collection of succulents , orchids , herb plants,daffodils and many more seasonal flowers here. Great place to find variety of plants to make your home/garden colorful. Atlantic salmon, TJ chicken thighs and TJ brand milk is my goto purchase. $3.69 for a gallon of Trader Joe's brand milk, compared to $5.49 at Sprouts. 26 ounce jar of Trader Joe's brand marinara sauce for $1.79. Dozen large eggs for $2.49. You can't beat these prices, unless you drive to Costco 5 miles away, where there is a 1 hour wait just to walk in the entrance. Go past the produce section. Large navel oranges 69 cents apiece, 3 pound bag of medium-small size Cara Cara oranges for $3.49, 4 lb bag of organic navel medium-small oranges for $4.99, and blueberries $6.99 for 18 ounces. Produce prices generally more expensive here than at Sprouts, when getting comparable sized items, the exceptions being bananas 19 cents each or 44 cents a pound here, and 59 cents a pound at Sprouts, and iceberg lettuce $1.29 a head here, and $1.99 or $2.99 a head at Sprouts. Demand is so great that Sprouts has discontinued its weekly flyers. I love that there are prepared foods that are seasonably priced and a good variety, for brining lunch to work. My favorites are BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA, Veg pulav, Butter chicken meal. These are must try. It's kinda dangerous to come here when I am hungry, so I make a point not to shop on an empty stomach, as I will tend to buy more. read more

This is my neighborhood TJs location, but I'd drive further to go to it even if it wasn't. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they're doing an excellent job practicing social distancing guidelines. They allow seniors and people who have disabilities inside during the first hour daily, and also have a separate line for them for queuing. The staff are always bustling to keep shelves stocked, and they'll stop what they are doing to help a customer find an item. read more

It was like what there said on YouTube. I thought there is more. But Taki chip was good.

This place is super clean and the people are always so friendly. It can definitely get a little crowded in the store but it's decent sized and has a lot of options. I think it's pretty good and I like they are environmentally friendly! read more

This is my favorite Trader Joe's store in the Bay Area. I don't have a whole lot of basis for comparison because I've only been to two other stores. The Campbell store always has horribly long lines, especially during Covid. The Palo Alto store never has the salads or the coconut juice that I'm looking for (the students at Stanford probably get them before I get there). I come here because I know that I'm going to get in and out quickly AND everything that I need will be available in the store. read more

Love this Trader Joe's -- primarily for the staff that works here. Always smiling, ready to drop whatever they may be doing to help you out...they won't just point you to an aisle or an area, but will happily walk with you there. read more

**YES!! A TRADER JOE'S IN LOS ALTOS** Be prepared for defensive driving before entering this parking lot. Imagine elderly people. Lots of them. And my people. Lots of them. Pros: Good produce. Good wine selection. Friendly staff. Good floral selection. Cons: Crowded (especially after work and weekends) Limited sauces selection. The pros definitely outweighed the cons for me. So happy and thrilled that there's a TJ's in my hood. RECOMMEND for those who appreciate good and healthy foods without the Whole Paycheck prices! read more

Bottom line at the top: employees are quite rude, and the other staff members (in a different uniform but still designated as TJ's) who unpack the boxes and restock are even worse. Do yourself a favor and go to the one on Bollinger. -- Avoid this location! The employees here are SO unhelpful, and when you are checking out, no matter what time of day, they all have such an attitude and seem so miserable. What is up with that? This is a store with a cheeky sense of humor that offers yummy snacks, not in a prison?! :/ The staff members who unpack the boxes/restock are even worse. Several of them kept bumping into me from behind and didn't even bother to say excuse me beforehand or apologize afterwards. I know they are working really hard and lifting heavy stuff but I'm not quite sure how that warrants bumping into customers? The parking lot is way too small and there are collisions all too often. AVOID! read more

This is my favorite Trader Joe's. It never has construction inside like the Westgate Shopping Mall one and always has everything in stock every time I come here. They have a large selection for people who eat in front of their computers at work for lunch most of the week working like me! Baby spinach (one bag for five salads) = $1.99 (versus a whole box that I have to buy at Safeway for $4.99) White mushrooms (enough for five salads) = $1.69 (versus $2.29+ at Safeway or Lucky's) Their fat free crumbled feta and their cranberry and Gorgonzola pink salad dressing is the best (in the refrigerated section). Their grapes are pretty big and yummy and they have the best dried fruit assortment. The sweet potato chips are pretty good and the dark choco edamame beans aren't bad either. I usually get my blackberries and blueberries next door, but if they are closed, Trader Joe's has them for $2.49 or $2.99. Which is better than $4.99 for the small square pack for the organic ones at Safeway. I don't like their yogurt too much so I have to go to Safeway for the Organic O yogurt. Trader Joe's granola is ok. There is always parking here if you are willing to walk 30 seconds. Don't let the other reviews scare you into not coming to this well-stocked store! All the cashiers are really friendly too! AND if you bring your own bag as opposed to using the paper/plastic, they give you a raffle ticket for a weekly drawing for a $25 trader joe's giftcard. =D read more

Your standard Trader Joe's with the added fact that every single member of staff here is exceptional- really friendly and professional. Even this week I asked where something is and rather just saying an aisle number or waving me in the rough direction they walked me right to it. read more

I stop by here often on my way to and from work. There is plenty of parking in the plaza, but it is usually really busy so it may be frustrating to try to find parking. Otherwise it's your typical Trader Joe's and I haven't had a bad experience here, yet! It's so fun to go shopping at Trader Joe's because you never know when you might come upon a new product that is awesome. read more

Logan made my day, he is so sweet. I hope management sees this and gives him a raise, he deserves it for going above and beyond for the customers! read more

This is where I do a majority of my grocery shopping. I eat mostly vegetarian and there are so many ready made options, especially in the freezer aisle. The produce selection is not the greatest and the parking lot can be an absolute zoo! Try and avoid going on Sunday afternoons / evenings - I find that to be the busiest time and check out lines to be 10 - 15 min long. Other than that, love going here! Great prices and selection :) read more

Lately TJ's is replacing good food items that people have relied on for years with inferior foods. This happens every few months. Soon they will not have anything left worth buying. The latest casualty is the vanilla extract, which now includes the neurotoxin Monosodium Glutamate in the form of "natural flavors". read more

Perfect location for when I need a quick lunch pick up. I'm a fan of it all! :) I like to go in the morning when they open to avoid the afternoon crowd that take over the parking lot. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Parking lot can be tricky...it's shared with Rite-Aid and several small shops. If your not afraid to walk, park further out to avoid the traffic jam that always takes place in front of this location. read more

I love TJs, they are my favorite place to go for grocery shopping. I specially like their demo/tasting area since as a mom I am always at a loss what to prepare for dinner if I have not planned ahead. They always have great ideas and I implement them with my own twist. They have a great variety of food, and organic food, I do some of my produce from them since there is another great product market next door, I split between the two. Their prices are very reasonable and I like their return policy when you try a new item by Trader Joe's and don't like it, you can return it, no questions asked!!! The employees are friendly and helpful, and honestly I have not come across rude ones like explained in some other reviews. They go out of their way to help. I am a fan. The only reason I took a star away is the crazy parking lot they have, there has to be a solution to this major problem. read more
