    Love their cereals
    Dan R.

    Let me be honest. I Love Trader Joe's. From the very first time I went into their store (I think it was in Hadley, MA?) I have been a fan of their excellent quality and super reasonable prices. We usually go to the very crowded West Hartford location, which at times can resemble Nickel Beer Night at a Demolition Derby. Terrible parking, terrible drivers (cars and carts), rude shoppers and big slices of nastiness. Our first visit to Trader Joes Manchester was a real revelation, because it was bigger and a whole lot cheerier than its cross-country neighbor in West Hartford. The aisles were pretty wide, especially noticeable in their produce and frozen food sections. We picked up all of our Trader Joe staples, dirt cheap breakfast cereals, excellent salsas, frozen pot stickers, and the very best jarred Marinara sauce we have ever found. As is the case with all Trader Joe's locations, the front of the store employees have great personalities- funny, conversational, and super friendly. All in all, we had a very favorable experience here.

    This TJ seems to be smaller than most and has less selection. Nevertheless, it is hard to not love this store!

    After all the wait and anticipation for this new Manchester location, finally they are open for business. It's been open less than a week but I couldn't wait to check it out ....I had to see for myself what all that rave and fuss was about. I have only once been to their West Hartford location and back then I thought of it to be a glorified Aldi's. Well known for their creative frozen and prepared foods @ a good price point. Just to give you a glimpse on what kind of products you can expect (if your new like me), here are a few of Trader Joe's newest in 2018: -Unsweetened Almond, Cashew & Macadamia Nut Beverage &2.29 -These Peanuts Go On A Date Bars $2.99 -Mixed Mushroom & Spinach Quiche $2.99 - "boozy jam" Peach Bellini $3.99 -Dark Chocolate Toasted Sesame Caramel $2.99 -Cucumber Avocado Body Butter $4.99 -Smoked Salmon Poke Bowl $5.99 -Shawarma Chicken Thighs $ 4.49 -Gluten Free Norwegian Crispbread $2.99 -Cauliflower Gnocchi $2.69 -Honeycomb Honey $6.99 -Sprouted Whole Grain Pizza Crust. $3.99 That said the store is tiny. Only good for some unique/one-off products that you may end up coming back for I guess. The checkout counters are squeezed and cumbersome... there is barely any counter space to lay your buys.

    Worth the drive to Manchester. Bigger and less crowded than the West Hartford TJ's. Even the parking lot is bigger and offers more options.

    I've rated this Trader Joe's a 5 star when it opened but this store has now been open quite a while. You know what? I would rate it 10 STARS if I could!!!!! I feel so blessed to be near a Trader Joe's. I can go and get my all time favorite ice cream. I can go get my favorite frozen Asian dishes that are ready to cook. I can get my pound plus chocolate!!! There is nothing that is bad. Everything is amazing!!!! The service at Trader Joe's is amazing. The parking is not so good, but I deal with it. Drive. Drive now! Thank me later.

    For years, I had to travel to West Hartford to shop in Trader Joe's. Now there is one in Manchester. That is cool. The shop is neat and cool like the West Hartford one. I love their food section. One of my favorites is the chocolate coconut almonds. Also I love the multi grain tortilla chips here. There are a ton of other food products I love here. There is a Total Wines right next store, which is a plus. Their cauliflower gnocci is legendary. If you just type cauliflower gnocci in google, all the results that come up are for Trader Joe's one. I liked it. But my favorite thing here was steamed chicken soup dumpling. Just microwave for 2 minutes and soupy dumpling is ready. I also tried the Quadratini wafer cookies. I would say it was ok. Shoprite has a store brand wafer cookies. That is the best wafer cookies I ever had. But this one was good too.

    I don't have to drive to West Hartford anymore and to be honest I think I drove over there like once every 6 months.

They have pretty much everything I typically need, as well as some nice extras, such as products form other local stores. Sometimes their sales are pretty good, but their standard prices are often not the best around. The store's building is a little rough around the edges, but I understand that is a work in progress.

At 8:30 this morning, I stood in line long with 10 other people for the checkout. Not the employees fault that was working because she should not be placed in the situation I understand for the company to make an extra $15. It is more important to understaff than it is to make sure this employee has the support that she needs. She also had to answer the phone even though this store is only half a mile from my house I will be going to big Y in West Hartford from now on for early morning shopping There's one employee working on fruit this morning three were working on stocking, and you folks managed to make your profit. I having a huge line when people are trying to check out.
