Whoever gives Trader Joe's less than five stars must be abnormal lol JK trader Joe's is amazing including this one. I was quickly greeted by the employees. They had a fresh selection of flowers and fruits and vegetables. They were providing samples, and I'm always excited to try their new products every time I go. The ambience is always cheerful since employers are always happy and extremely helpful when I'm looking for a specific item thank you so much Trader Joe's for always making my day. read more

All Trader Joe's in my book are 5 stars and some. Great products, friendly employees, good prices. This location in Montrose is bigger than the Glendale and La Canada store, BUT the parking lot is weird... ample parking yes ;however, a lot of blind spots with multiple cars backing up opposite of each other at the same time! During peak hours which can be anytime it's like musical chairs except with cars- yikes! Parking feng shui here sux! Street park and walk if you can! Happy Shopping! read more

I want to give a shoutout to the workers who were guiding the cars in the parking lot to allow me to back up and get out because I was parked near the entrance/ exit. Idk why TJ parking lots are so small and hard to navigate. Anyhow, I appreciate that they allowed me to get out safely without hitting anyone or anything. This past Easter weekend it was crazy busy. However the floral department was full of beautiful flowers and literally looked like heaven . Love TJ! read more

Trader Joe's has amazing buyers probably on par with Costco buyers. They instinctively know what to get before you even think you need it. Then, you see it in the aisles and you pick up five! That has always been our experience- awesome unique finds including - vegan ice cream cones - vegan bon bons - mochi rice cake (regular and spicy) - pizza seasoning - umami seasoning Etc etc read more

I don't know what magic Trader Joe has. Their staff is always so happy, helpful and super friendly.

I was lucky enough today to get into a parking space without incident. Also everything was fully stocked so I found everything I wanted and more. The service is always outstanding but today "Amazing" Grace literally made my day. She is delightful in every way and she seemed genuinely happy to be working at TJs, enjoying giving a great customer experience. Thank you Grace! TJ forever! read more

Bought 12 bananas. Was charged for for 123 bananas. Called to get the correction made to the credit card. I live 20 minutes away. They refused to deal with it over the phone. My wife drove up to get our $30 back. They did the math wrong again, and gave her attitude when she brought it up on the second correction. Customer service here sucks, for this issue anyway, and I'd check your receipt carefully! read more

Love the products, love the selection. Prices. Am be a bit high, but I'm willing to pay.

Everyone that works at this Trader Joe's is kind, knowledgeable and helpful. I love coming here for all my shopping needs! The variety grows constantly and I find everything I needed without having to go to a second store. Parking is a little rough but worth parking on the street to shop here. When searching for an item I'm always assisted by the staff and led straight to the aisle and the item I'm looking for. read more

I had a terrible experience at this location. I came in for Hash browns and left feeling harassed and disrespected repeatedly. Floor crew member Tommy approaches me to let me know they do not allow pets into the store and I reassured him immediately she was a service dog. He responds and says " no ma'am that's an emotional support pet. Me feeling confused and annoyed, I responded " No, she's not, she's a certified service dog and he responds and says no ma'am there's a difference between a service dog and emotional support pet. I at this point, I want him to stop speaking with me so I go to look for her card. As I'm looking he proceeds to then let me know how the health department is cracking down on them and how they are getting too many complaints ( as if I'm an employee). I have to stop this man from running his mouth and ask him to stop speaking to me because nothing he is saying making sense to me the customer and his lies have already infuriated and frustrated me because I'm confused at this point and weirded out why this floor crew member is trying to prove so hard a lie he has made up in his head. He looks at my dogs registered service card and blatantly lies to my face and says, " ma'am this says she's an emotional support pet. I am no now disgusted and is starting to feel like this can not be about my dog at this point because this is not making ANY sense. He's looking directly at my dogs card and making up lies and for what reason????? He then tells me we have had this conversation before. Another lie he tells because I've never ever had a conversation with this man until this day. If we did, he would know she's a service dog and he should no better not to ask again. So he's violating my rights repeatedly. At this point i'm feeling like he's not only being incompetent and asinine, now your giving creepy pervert energy. Why are you LYING so much and trying hard to keep talking to me and keeping me in your presence just to lie and be weird. I spoke with someone at the front to ask for the number to HR. I also asked this crew member what the proper protocol was for people who come on with service animals.He could not tell me. Tommy then approaches me again to antagonize me more and I tell him, to get away from me and stop speaking to me. I then spoke with Leo the next morning who already had his mind up and was going to turn this situation on me because of how his employee was inappropriate, disrespectful, and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. He heard my side but overall made the choice to side with Tommy and kept trying to turn this situation on me by bringing up what I said about Tommy to another employee because of the lies and the entire interaction was WRONG and especially for the person ( Tommy) who represents this company. Yes I called Tommy a moron and while Leo may find that offensive, I find being repeatedly lied in my face and gaslit to be extremely disrespectful especially when I can't even comprehend where his intentions are even coming from. Like me feeling like he's not coming from an inappropriate place is a far stretch when he is lying repeatedly and gaslighting me. I don't know him, he did not see my dog use the restroom or do anything to assume or make up lies. He is confidently violating my rights. So what am I suppose to think ?! Should I have implied he's coming off RACIST??? What proper emotion should I be feeling ?So Leo refused to resolve this situation. I spoke with Kary from HR shortly after who listened and immediately started to weaponize this situation against me. She was too concerned about my statements that I owned up to because unlike this team of dishonest incompetent leaders , I have no reason to lie me. Kary tells me " no, ma'am you're an adult, no one can make you feel anyway". At this point I know Kary is just as incompetent and asnine as Tommy and Leo to even say something like that. I want to be clear , I worked in customer service for 9 years before the medical field. I'm not coming from an entitled dog owners perspective. I'm looking at a situation that was handled poorly from the bottom and all the way to the top. I'm looking at a team of leaders who held their employee at NO accountability for violating my rights, trying to hold me equally accountable because they want customers to be respectful while they're employee is lying and disrespecting them repeatedly. Tommy gave a statement to Annie from HR and said my dogs card did not even say service animal. Another bold face LIE. He also told me to my face while looking at it that it said she was an emotional support pet not a service dog. read more

This place is very about 2 blocks from my home and let me tell you is the best friendly market on California besides the all good in Trader Joe's the staff is unbelievable nice read more

Montrose is my neighborhood TJ's. I have shopped here about 4 years. The store has great energy. It is always bustling with stock associates filling in the shelves. I like their selection of plants. It is also a very busy location. It is my experience everyone is very eager to help. It is a very clean location. I recommend it. My only warning is to be careful entering and exiting the parking lot. It does not matter if you walk or drive. My fellow shoppers are by and large, the worst drivers and inside their car are very rude. Proceed with caution. read more

Great selection and service. I walk down here every Sunday morning after church with my wife. My only complaint is the parking situation needs improvement read more

So glad this is within walking distance from my house. The parking is crazy much if the time and there is a security guard often.

Trader Joe's - Senior hours as of March 26, 2020 - Grocery Near Me - Montrose, California

Racially profiled. My husband who is African American, came to look for his key that he misplaced long story short he found what he thought was a key at the register but it was his own key. A bone headed move I know. We went back a few hours later, I let him handle it while I waited in the parking lot. He went to the lost and found they could not find it. My husband said he looked twice in a small little area and no key was there. Crazy that you could miss it since again the area was very small where they kept lost items. It took too long and wondered what happened so I went in and he said they didn't find the key. I then explained what happened had to maybe the manager and had him look again and by some miracle there it was. So it took me coming in??? Not sure who the manager was guessing was of Asian descent. We have spent thousands of dollars here and we have lived in this neighborhood for over 15 years. This is some bullshit. We will still come because it convenient but my eyes are wide open. Sad really! His explanation was he's horrible at finding things come one now. You had to look three times and no apologies. Could have easily said sorry I didn't find it those other two times but nope no apology. Lame service. read more

As always the staff is just lovely. I do miss the old days when we use to have that little trial counter - BUT otherwise, nice size, lots of goodies - parking can be a B* sometimes...but who doesn't love TJ's? read more

I like this Trader Joe's since it is very spacious and big. They have more assortments and varieties of goods and groceries to choose from. They have fresh fruits, snacks, and more. I really love the way that Trader Joe's organizes it's groceries. It is super clear and easy to find what you want, but also browse around for other goods at the same time. I did take off one star however, because the parking here is relatively tight. It is slightly more difficult to find parking, but I think that is both a curse and a blessing, since I guess a lot of people really like this Trader Joes! I do really like the fact that they have an attendant in the parking lot to direct you towards the nearest parking lot. The attendant in the parking lot is just one of the ways you can tell that their customer service is absolutely impeccable! This is a great Trader Joe's and I've had great experiences with it so far. read more

Wow probably the best TJ's in LA...this store has all the items in stock. parking is not bad, just don't go during peak hours. staff is friendly and constantly stocking items, and check out staff are friendly. i enjoyed my shopping experience here. i will be back! read more

Need a better flower selection this one has the worst from the neighboring cities. Everything else is good

Justus went above and beyond in terms of service. He helped me locate a cake I wanted and was very friendly and helpful. I enjoy coming to this location because the workers are ao kind always. read more

It's trader Joe's so it automatically qualifies for 3-4 stars without any further details. This location is always nicely stocked and workers as always are super helpful and nice. Only part i'm not a huge fan of, is the parking. Although the parking attendant/security guard does a great job of directing traffic, I still try to find parking on the street to avoid the parking lot. read more

Yelp 100 Challenge 33 Having been to a number of Trader Joe's, have to say the people working here are some of the most helpful and friendliest ever! The layout of the store is easy and spacious making shopping a breeze. Twice I asked two different employees for information about products and on both occasions, they stopped what they were doing to take me to the product I was seeking. In both cases I told them that wasn't necessary, that I would find the product as long as I knew which aisle to check. Nonetheless, they guided me there. Incredible customer service! The parking lot is also organized, directional arrows are on the pavement and signs indicate which way to drive, helping the traffic flow. Good job, TJ's you set the bar high for your competition! read more

I grew up on Trader Joe's from way back... I recall they sold nuts, wine, cheese, jurice, eggs, yogart, and Toblerone! This location is a bit more than a year old moved from the Foothill Blvd location where parking wasn't good. At this location, parking is a bit better but can still get chaotic at times. I pack lunch sometimes and TJ's has a good selection of low cal meals from black bean enchiladas to bibimbap. Workers here are always friendly. Though the samples lady on Sunday is kinds skimpy on the portions! Overall, it's my place to go for certain items. read more

Pretty sure everyone knows what to expect when they come to TJ's, and this one is no different - even down to the abysmal parking situation. They really should create a Trader Joe's with a larger parking lot, because they would likely get more regular visitors. The store is well laid out, and they have a nice variety of specialty foods you won't find elsewhere. One of my all time favorites are the peanut butter pretzels (with salt!). The chocolate covered espresso beans are also divine, inasmuch as they are caloric. Ultimately, the only reason I don't grant this location a 5 star rating is because of their small, challenging parking lot that makes getting in and out a challenge and a half. Do it differently next time TJ's higher ups! read more

Stores like these are appreciated. Polite and helpful all-men staff. They read my mind. Well-stock, close to home and I always find the basic stuff such as my favorite chicken salad, lemon kitchen hand soap, wine and water. Always moderately crowded but fast-paced! No playing around. read more

I'm quite certain this is the best Trader Joe's location I have been to. The number one complaint we all have about Trader Joe's is how the parking always sucks. This location has a pretty decent size parking lot and I've never been stuck trying to find a spot here. There's also ample street parking. The staff is very friendly and there aren't lines of solicitors waiting to get at you on your way out the door. The layout of the store is nice and comfortable and it's easy to get in and out in record time. Definitely an asset to the community of Montrose. read more

This is a good location because it has ample parking and it is a larger than your average Trader Joe's store. The staff here is friendly and I typically shop at this location because there's a bigger selection of goods because it's a larger store. read more

At first, we had a hard time finding this relatively new Trader Joe's in Montrose, until we reached the end of Honolulu Avenue. It is super clean, but lacks enough parking for patrons. It seems bigger than some of the local Trader Joe's I've been to, but I think this is the new standard for their buildings. I feel the store fits the neighborhood, and is probably super convenient for the firefighters who live at the station across the street. read more

Best Trader Joe's in the world. I consider myself a TJ connoisseur, and this one is huge, the parking lot is (relatively) massive, staff is amazing, great samples- always make an excuse to come here. Probably go to this TJ's once a day and it's always the highlight of the day. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. Keep it up TJs Montrose! read more
