    Red Leicester cheese in the US! Unreal!
    Mimi R.

    I always find something good here! That's the thing with Trader Joe's, they always have new items and it's so fun trying new things! I finally found the strawberry sheet cake. It was soooooo good!!! Very moist and delish. They also had the vanilla chantilly sheet cake so I tried that too. The strawberry is my top pick. Both cakes are so good you don't even need the frosting. I felt like they have way too much frosting so I took the frosting off and ate them plain. Also found red leister cheese!!! Unreal!! If you're on TikTok then you know our fave UK foodie. I've always wanted to try it since seeing it in those TikTok's and I finally found it in the US unexpectedly. I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure it's good. Staff is always friendly. Store is clean and organized. Plenty of parking on top of the store.

    This is one of my favorite Trader Joe's in LA! Parking is so easy in the lot above as well as on the street if you don't want to deal with the lot. It's always so clean and well maintained here and I never have issues with items not being in stock. While it's busy, it never feels as chaotic as some of the other TJs I've been to and the lines always move really quickly. The employees are friendly and helpful when you need them. The store is one of the easiest to find what you need as the layout is logical.

    The grilled chicken is amazing

    Lunch on the Go: My Trader Joe's Check-In I do food reviews all the time... usually from drive-thrus, taco spots, or hole-in-the-wall gems. But today? I'm switching it up. This is what lunch looks like when I hit Trader Joe's--something I actually do a dozen times a month without even thinking about it. Got their Baby Spinach and Greens Salad yo day, loaded with bleu cheese, candied pecans, cranberries, and raspberry vinaigrette. I also was in the mood for some sliced grilled chicken I picked up and a side 16oz. of creamy Mediterranean hummus with pine nuts and herbs. That's a full meal that tastes fresh and keeps me going when I've been driving all over LA and Orange County. and in case you didn't know, Trader Joe isn't is known for $.17 bottled water and $.25 bananas which I get constantly! You literally can't beat that anywhere else! I've been to at least 30 Trader Joe's locations across SoCal--no lie. Whether I'm stocking up for the week or just need a quick grab-and-go lunch like today, TJ's always hits. I've reviewed everything but Trader Joe's up till now. Don't ask me why... but this right here? This is the start of something new!

    Woo hoo! Farm Shop's stuff is amazing.

    Effective 8/25/24, Trader Joe's only sells fat free milk by the half gallon due to slow sales and production issues. Good thing there's a Ralph's next door. The store and service are still amazing and the free sample stand is back. If you don't see an item on the shelf, you can ask a manager if it's discontinued, on back order or out of stock for the season. Sometimes they are not aware of seasonal items until shipments stop, like their bomb frozen Bubble Waffles! And my recent discovery is that I think I prefer TJ's baguette to La Brea's at Ralph's. Don't like how La Brea's is sourdough and unsealed whereas TJ's is sealed. It's exterior while less crunchy, doesn't harden by the end of the day.

    This review is about an employee, Kid, who helped me with a private event! My company was planning a "build your own bouquet" day with flowers and to help with costs, we decided to use TJ's flowers knowing how great the quality is! I originally planned to find flowers myself, but I asked an employee to help and he went ABOVE AND BEYOND! Not only did he ask me what I was planning to do, but he organized all the flowers and chose what flowers would go great together based on our color scheme. Since my event was a week away, he sent me pictures while planning, and when I came to pick them up they were sorted and organized for easy transporting. I honestly never knew this was a type of "service" offered at TJ's, but can't say nice enough things about how friendly and helpful Kid was! THANK YOU!!

    I purchased a watermelon, yesterday, 6/10/25, at this location, among a cart full of groceries. I cut the watermelon today. It is tasteless. It also has brown spots on the inside of the rind, see photo. It is not seedless. It has lots of white seeds and some black ones, also. It appears that TJ's is being sold inferior products. Their suppliers are cheating them and in turn us, the consumers. I've had issues in the past with other products deteriorating before their best by dates, including poorly stored/refrigerated dairy products. When I have contacted corporate about these issues, the best they could do is tell me that they haven't had any other complaints. Well, people don't bother to complain because absolutely nothing is done to correct these issues.

    This is the 2nd time I've found something in my food. I didn't report the first one, but it was a hard foreign object in the frozen butter chicken meal. I stopped going to this location for about 4 months after that incident. But it's so convenient to my job I started going back last month. I usually go in for the traditional greek salad or a sandwich for lunch. Yesterday, I found a long piece of HAIR nestled into the cheese. Before you think it, it's not mine I rock a buzz cut. This is ridiculous and disgusting. I don't know what's going on with this location. But it looks like I'm going to have to start going to Ralph's next door or the new Gelson's that just opened nearby. Cashiers are friendly for the most part, the stockers not so much. They act like you're in their way when trying to get to the food they are in front of.

    This location is right in my neighborhood. Walking distance. Right next to my Walgreens. I don't need it but there's a huge parking garage for both. Like most Trader Joe's locations you're greeted with an abundance of flowers--And a smiling employee welcoming you. Most regular customers know what they want and where it is. There's no trickery here. It's tried and true. Like an old friend. You know what to expect. The staff here are all amazing. Super friendly, helpful and cool. It certainly is appreciated when your having a bad day.

    This is my go to Trader Joe's! Every time I go it's always stocked and/or bringing out more produce and more stocks. They have a great selection of not only food but also facial care, health and body. The staff members are always a pleasure to work with. Ambiance is always at peace.

The market had a huge selection of merchandise from Japanese snacks and beverages to grocery items, housewares, beauty products as well as some special and unique items. We were able to spend a fair bit of time walking the aisles looking over items we don't usually get a chance to see too often in Las Vegas. I really enjoyed how many options there were and the overall feel of the store. Visiting the store was a great way to end our time in Little Tokyo and we actually picked up a couple of items to bring along on our travels! Marukai Market is definitely worth stopping by while visiting the neighborhood! There are so many different Japanese snack foods. If you need to do some grocery shopping as well in the area for your hotel stay or are looking for something new to check out, this is a great place to stop by!

It's called Canyon Coffee, but the menu has a rotating selection of espressos, so I'm assuming. The cashier ladies are nice, a bit slow, but there's a seating area so you're not in a long line while a bunch of people wait next to you. They always close the hot foods early so if you need to customize any drinks or order a matcha first, be sure to go to the espresso station and then the cashier station, before purchasing groceries. Better than Lazy Acres/Bristol Farms. L.A. G&C blends in beautifully with the community the market with space set up for craft collabs and the holiday fair, and integrates nuances as distinguishable as Erewhon's, but defines its offering apart from other markets.

It was so beautiful and intricately arranged that I was sure they painstakingly did this themselves. But, no, they got it at LA G&C and went on to describe all the wonderful offerings in such glowing terms that we decided to go out of our way to give it a try. And so, on what could be called a rare dreary day in LA, we made our way to the up and coming hip neighborhood now called Melrose Hill. If you haven't checked out the area, you should probably Google it -- this is a dynamic area undergoing restoration. The main developers aim to keep the character of old Los Angeles while attracting the latest and best venues -- cafes, restaurants, bars -- among them Los Angeles Grocery & Cafe. There is a large parking lot accessed directly off Melrose. When it is time to leave, you simply drive through to the side street exit. Easy! Look at my photos -- the place is barn-like, keeping its rafters from the original building true to the promise of the building owners, with lots of unique inventory and room to add much, much more. You will find things you don't see elsewhere. We snapped up a bunch of items to try, including a few of my all time faves: gnocchi, sunflower butter, and egg salad. I would have gotten the pistachio butter but it has sugar and I like my nut butters sugar-free. If we hadn't been pressed for time, we would likely have loaded the cart with more, so that means a return visit. I want these people to thrive, so please consider coming over here and while you are at it, check out the rest of Melrose Hill, just following Melrose Avenue farther eastward. It won't be long before the entire area is the best place to be in L.A.

Prices everywhere are going up so I wouldn't say this is the cheapest place to shop but for what you get it's not bad, and if you are looking to get a variety of what you need for Asian cooking this is a good spot for it. Service was quick and friendly at the register as this no frills and casual market. There is a parking garage behind the grocery as part of the mall but it can get crowded on weekends so if you're lucky you can find street parking but watch for street signs and some areas and streets are not in the best neighborhoods adjacent so be wary of your surroundings.

I asked her how things worked and she explained it all. The kefir/kombucha bottles are $4 for 16 oz and they have 3 of each on tap. I asked Marcy about one before realizing everything had a QR code and you can easily pull up the ingredients and descriptions/directions for each item. I'm getting away from plastics and this place scratches me right where I itch! They sell just about anything you can imagine! I was so impressed w the selection! They even have produce and fresh sourdough bread! The day old is 50% off and I'm so mad I was in a pinch and had to buy store bought bread, otherwise I would've tried it today. I can't say enough. Even the music was fire and I was shazaming and jamming. Shower gels, body care, non seed oils, baking mixes, laundry pods and things you see in bulk at like Sprouts, but the quality and sourcing seems to be better. Some items don't need jars and they sell paper bags for .10 each. I did a kombucha/kefir tasting. Marcy brought these steel bowls over. No waste at all! If you drink the POG kefir soda at Erewhon and love it, try it here! It's made w fruit and is noticeably better! And POG there is my fave. Just try it at Re_!!! So when I was checking out I asked Marcy about being more prepared and bringing my own glasses next time. They've thought of everything!!!! There's iPads and scales in the front of the store. They weigh your empty containers and give you a sticker with the tare weight and then subtract it from the weight at the end! Revolutionary! They add 3% for the employees. I should've added more. Marcy was amazing and worth it. I'm honestly not big on tipping everyone for just breathing but if all the employees are like Marcy, they are worth way more than 3%! If you sign up you get 100 points instantly, $1 = 1 pt, and at 200 pts you get $10! It's not hard to spend in places like this but it's beyond worth it. I keep seeing things about the harms of plastic and don't get me started on all the other crap in our food. I foresee this as a new staple in my diet and home. They even have cleaning products!
