    Moon Cookies were delicious!

    Excellent location with helpful staff. Beautiful flowers and delicious food that simplifies preparing for a party! The Moon Cookies - WOW.

    Let's see what happens! I remember when this store first opened 15 or so years ago! There was a lot of hubbub about Trader Joe's coming to Texas. I visited as soon as I could but was unimpressed. Over the years,I stopped in occasionally,trying this that and the other. Still not a must. This morning I was eating breakfast at Starwood across the street. It occurred to me,I should pay TJz a visit and see if they fit in with my plan of less cooking! Bingo! Now I see who TJz typical customers are. After Googling Trader Joe's Best Selling items,I was ready. I picked up a variety of fresh produce and frozen entrees . I think this place may go a long way in helping me spend more time living life and less time in the kitchen.

    Love Trader Joe's for high quality, great service at reasonable prices! We drive all the way from Sherman to Mckinney!!! The flowers and plants are the best. Like my husband says: "If it's from Joe's, it just grows!"

    Their large selection of dips and soups!

    The workers are always fantastic, very helpful, and always eager to make small talk while helping you find what you need. The store's selection is great, and with only a few aisles it is easy to navigate and find things quickly. The only part that can feel a little confusing is the cashier area since the setup is a bit wonky, but the cashiers are always enjoyable to talk to. One of my favorite things is the fresh flowers at the entrance. Walking in and seeing them right away makes the shopping experience even better.

    I'm giving two stars because Trader Joe's is generally good, but in one of the frozen dishes that we warmed up, there was a dead worm or caterpillar or something similar. Not sure if it was the only one, but we were half way through the dish when I noticed it. It won't kill you but it does kill your appetite.

    A line to get in (social distanding).  I respect the rule, but next time I'm coming on a weekday...  LOL

    I'm from California, so nuff said right? I was one of the guys that fell into a state of depression when I moved to Texas because there were so many niche items I purchased at Trader Joe's. We now have several Trader Joe's in Texas and I gotta say, I'm feeling at home. To the person that would say "what's so great about Trader Joe's"? I'd say, give yourself an hour and walk around the store. Take a look at products and items you find interest in, and try them out. Pretty soon you'll find yourself used to certain brands and tastes that only Trader Joe's has, and to top it off, they are healthy and priced reasonable. My son loves Indian food, and they have Indian frozen dinners that we've been buying for years. There's also an Orange Chicken in a bag that we love. And I can't go on enough about the Vodka Spaghetti Sauce that we've been buying for years. And if you're a trail mix person like we are, the selection of pre-packaged trail mix is incredible. The wine selection is pretty nice as well, I love that I can find interesting new bottles of wine at a reasonable price. I purchased a bottle last week that was so good I cried myself to sleep while sitting in my living room watching TV and chomping down my Trader Joe's trail mix. California much? Now lets discuss the cleanliness. This place is always immaculate. Nothing more to discuss, LOL. All locations I've experienced are clean and constantly being cleaned. It makes me feel comfortable. A+ Now lets discuss the people. I've never once encountered a bad attitude in a Trader Joe's. It's like they went to the happy farm and only picked the top of the line happy people to work here. I've even seen people with an attitude get met with a great smile and apology from Trader Joe's staff. I think the people of Trader Joe's are a big element in the appeal as well. A+ Variety of items to buy? You can plan full meals or just buy snacks, Trader Joe's has a great variety of food items and custom choices to keep you eating for weeks and weeks. I love how they consistently have the items I prefer, regardless of location. A+ To the tune of the Beach Boys I sing' "I wish they call could be California stores" Overall score for Trader Joe's - A+

    Store hours reduced due to the pandemic.

    I'm super ANGRY at this location!! It's important to support local businesses during this COVID19 crisis and spread the word about those that are going the extra mile. I'm letting my YELP family know that this location has shortened their business hours due to the pandemic, they are doing an amazing job wiping down shopping carts, and they are encouraging social distancing from the time you arrive until the time you leave. I appreciated that. Typically this is a five-star experience for us, but after this last visit, it's going to be a long time before we go back. This was a special day for us, you know ... to get out of the house because of the lockdown. We are like you -- working from home, living in chaos and our stress is over the top. It's the little things, like going grocery shopping, that keeps us sane, lol. It was time for us to pick up a lot of groceries. My daughter and I love this place and we were really looking forward to it. When we arrived the line was very long, standing in the sun, and we didn't mind following the social distancing that was in place. As we waiting for our turn to go in, I openly took a few pictures for my YELP review. Once we stepped into the doorway there was the cutest "social distancing" sign!!! My daughter and I both thought it was well done, very cool, so we took a few pictures. The guy who was wiping down shopping carts rushed through the doorway and started yelling at us, "Stop taking pictures! You can't take a picture of that! I replied, "What? I'm taking pictures for YELP?" He continued to yell at us, waving his hands in the air, saying, "You can't take pictures of that because it's copyrighted!" He definitely felt entitled to treat us this way, he made such a scene, and it was unnecessary to approach us this way. He should have handled us very differently if this truly is a Trader Joe's policy. We must have looked like we were shot with a stun gun! We were motionless and speechless, and EVERYONE WAS STARING AT US. As we wandered through Trader Joe's people continued to stare at us, I think they were confused about what just happened. It was so embarrassing!! We picked up our favorite gluten-free cupcakes and decided to leave. I finished my shopping at Kroger on the way home. We specifically made a trip there to enjoy our day. I'm honestly still in shock that we were treated like that. I'm so angry!

    Latest find, it's amazing

    Love tjs! This one is the closest from home. Have so many favorites from here. My family loves the chocolates, seasonings, the plantain chips, tofu, spinach and arugula to name few. And for the gluten intolerant folks you can find Ton number of things. Love their gluten free breads. Really good price. This store has ample parking and can be easily located. This is my new to go tjs.

    Love Trader Joe's in McKinney, TX. We always find something new and delicious to try. We were sad this time that they did not have Brie Bites. They are seasonal. Out of Peach wine too. Maybe more on Saturday. key Lime cookies are delish!!

    amazing bag, perfect for cats

    Has to be the worst produce in McKinney. I haven't been to every store, and yes, a few items are…read morealways okay, but overall, easily the worst produce in McKinney. Maybe Collin County, maybe Texas. Some prices are good, but many prices are exactly the same as Wal-Mart, and they have much fewer choices in not only products, but sizes. Not many smaller sizes here. The Wal-Mart bakery is MUCH better, again with many more choices, and usually much fresher. Their house brands are decent, depending on which ones, but again WM has them beat there, too. I could live with some of it, and WM's produce isn't the best in town, but it's much better than WC's. Not sure why they were crowded.

    I started shopping at this store because a friend of mine in California told me they had good…read moreprices on bulk bin items that were costing me almost double on Amazon. Fourteen months ago I started eating carnivore and although I was already buying my meat here I feared that a carnivore diet was going to be too expensive. I found that not only are the prices very reasonable but that I can buy a variety of animal proteins that I enjoy, like turkey thighs, duck, along with chicken parts. I have found that I spend considerably less eating carnivore than I did when I was buying vegetables. I have been very pleased with the quality of the meat and the prices over all at the store. The people who work here are also kind and helpful. The people in the meat department recognize and greet me. They have so many different cuts of beef and I often ask questions on how they need to be cooked. When I have asked other staff for the location of an item, they stop what they are doing and escort me to the location, which on several occasions were on the top of the shelf and being disabled it is hard to stand and reach things when sitting in a mobile cart. My only complaint has been that often the mobile carts are inoperable, and it's very frustrating not to be able to shop when there are 4 to 5 mobile carts sitting there that don't work. Thankfully they have gotten them repaired and purchased some new ones but they still need to be more diligent in making sure they are plugged in when not in use so it is charged up for the next person.
