Dear Trader Joes in my 'hood, I love you. Love is a strong word but I love you. No one will ever beat you in the grocery department. EVER. Shortest review I have ever written, because love simply says it all. Love, Me :) read more

I had the most heartfelt experience yesterday when a lovely young woman that had bagged my groceries followed me to my car to gift an orchid plant to me so I could take it to my dear friend, Janelle, who is in hospice. I had shared my feelings briefly and commented how we must live each day to the fullest while keeping a positive mental attitude!! Trader Joes has ALWAYS been my store of choice but I was out of my zip code this day, so they did NOT know me. I have already spread my joy on my Facebook page and want everyone to know there is so much kindness & compassion out there if we open our hearts & minds! PEACE THANKS TRADER JOES read more

Have been noticing for awhile now that they are often out of some of their more popular items. Not the easiest stores to get in and out of, so to go and have them be out of stock get's frustrating. Also, some of the younger associates need a little more training in dealing a diverse customer base. After 30 some years of shopping at TJ's in California and here, it may be time for a change. read more

I love Trader Joe's and this is one of my favorites in town - Far bigger than the Gilbert location. I love that I can always find something new and yummy to try - and that is sometimes very hard as a vegetarian. I love the produce, the sauces, the soy selections. I also love that I can find animal product free & cruelty free household products, which means that I don't have to go all over town to get what I need. Go here. Get some meatless meatballs and some whole wheat pasta. Have a tasty dinner. read more

At this location, it's easy to tumble in, buy healthy anything and everything, and tumble out....So why four stars and not five?---They use to have Ben and (you know)ice creme, Chunky Monkey---No more....:( But they have fruit, juices, nuts, eggs, cereal, sodas, wines, meats, on, and on, and on...even recycled bags! (though I wouldn't eat the bags....) It's a bit pricey...Why so pricey?---I guess for the privilege of buying something healthy?...vs...something fabricated by DOW chemicals and produce shot full of altered chromosomal waste! read more

I go here pretty much once a week. It is sort of a particular store- not very good for produce- most of it is packaged in way too much plastic and you have to buy in larger quantities. However, they have 19cent bananas and i often buy bell peppers there. I won't buy strawberries there as they are almost always have gone off or picked while green and never ripen properly. The things that I love about Trader Joe's: Cheese! They have the best prices on cheese that I have seen (except for Costco, of course) Yogurt! Ohmygod the organic vanilla yogurt is the best yogurt I have ever had. I often eat it for dessert with some fruit- absolutely heavenly. Red Thai Curry sauce, dried fruits, salmon roulade, raspberry creme brulee, etc etc They have so many unique products that are just wonderful, I would cry cry cry if I couldn't go to Trader Joes anymore. They also have nice succulents in cute pots outside and their flowers are gorgeous and super cheap. I always look forward to spring when they have daffodils- something like 10 for $2? Can't beat that. read more

Trader Joe's is the ultimate place to buy delicious, healthful, and sometimes organic foods. If you are someone who doesn't like cooking but also doesn't like eating out all the time, you gotta go to TJs. The frozen pizzas are great, the hummus is delicious (excluding the spicy pepper) and they have awesome naan. Besides frozen foods, there are a lot of cold prepared meals that are easy to heat up. On the down side, their produce is mostly pre-packed and can tend to be overpriced, although there are still some bargains. The wine department is great for any time you are looking for a fun bottle under $10 to try. They are always changing selections and the staff is generally quite knowledgeable. I also love that I can randomly grab beautiful flowers on my way out the door...and the flowers are always something interesting and exciting. read more

A basic, super busy Trader Joe's that has everything you look for in a Trader Joe's and then some. Parking lot is a bit of a nightmare because of the Whole "Paycheck" Foods and the 24 Hour Fitness next door, in addition to the tons of other shops in this plaza, but midday on a Friday was fairly manageable. I just ran in for some milk and juice, but got side-tracked by the pre-made foods and ended up bringing home several yummy wraps for lunches. At under $4, they make the perfect (cheap) lunch! I was also side-tracked several times by the abundance of holiday items they have displayed at the front of the store, especially the dark chocolate caramels. Caramels . . . my personal Achilles heal. I managed to withstand the temptation this trip, but I'm still thinking about them several hours later so I see a return trip in my future, especially since these kind of treats are usually gone once the holidays are over. Aisles are a bit small but not any more that usual and two carts can easily pass without incident. Managed to bypass the cheese and wine sections with no damage (a feat in itself) and found an open check stand with no problems. Cashier was friendly and quick and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. I love Trader Joe's and each visit reminds me why. Great food, great prices, unique items . . . this T.J.'s has it all! read more

I was not feeling very well when I was at this TJ's. However, the staff was exceptionally friendly and helped me find everything I needed! The prices are average for TJ's, but it is all quality ingredients. read more

Very nice staff! It's always packed in here & I'm not surprised! Quality food! Lots of options! I absolutely love the vegan options as well as the GMO-free foods (all Trader Joe's brand is GMO-free). I have to say the prices are greats as well! Love TJ's!! read more

Trader Joe's - Great deals on holiday goods!!! - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

It's hard to find a better grocery store. This location can be a lttile not of a pain because 20th st can be crazy, but other than that not a problem to get in and out of . They always have fresh fruits and veggies, with plenty of unique items. The wine selection for the prices here are fantastic, and they do have a surprisingly decent selection of beer. read more

It hurts me deeply that this is the closest Trader Joe's to my house. But if this wasn't there, I'd have to go all the way to Metrocenter so... I'll take it. There are so many reviews about Trader Joe's in other locations, so by now you most likely know all about their amazing selection of "Joe's" brand merchandise - ranging from pasta sauce to liquid soap. If there is a Joe's brand for something - get it. It will always be good. And while their produce section is smaller than some of the other stores, it's not my main reason for going there so I can pick something up if it looks good and it's a fun extra. They used to have almost no meat selection, but it's gotten better after their recent expansion. It's no AJ's, but they have some nice basic and pre-prepared options. While in general I could talk forever about other great things from Trader Joe's, sticking with just this location let me say that I've never had anything but outstanding service. The check out is always fast and friendly. They even recognized my big blue cooler bag for what it was and happily packed the groceries right into it vs. using a paper sack. It's not just being a bit granola (not that there's anything wrong with that) but it also keeps the goodies cold on their 20 minute drive back to the house. But why can't there be one closer to my house? Huh? Why? Why??? Your distribution center is less than 10 minutes from my house, but I can't buy anything there. Why not? Can't we make that a small satellite store? Huh? Please? Downtown Phoenix maybe?? Something!!! Sigh.... letting go of the dream for now... Maybe if I just keep calling the corporate office until they recognize my voice... read more

TJ's is a nice grocery store... clean and convenient. It's unfortunate that a Whole Foods is so inconveniently located and not all that local, but in the mean time I find everything I need between here and the Safeway on Camelback and 32nd Street. I enjoy the fact that the produce is fresh, there's a good variety of organics, the prices are reasonable, and they have a decent cheese and wine selection. The pre-cooked items are pretty tasty as well if you're looking for short cuts when you're too tired, lazy, or just not feeling as though you want to spend the time on cooking. They seem to pride themselves on quality and informing you, as the consumer, on what you're paying for. The employees have been, for the most part, friendly and helpful. Check out system is effective and they do a drawing for those who bring their own bags in and raffle gift cards - never won, but hey... there's always a chance! read more

I make the trek once a week to the store. We can't live without it. Try: Hummas Dip Marinated Fishes (ALL) Whole grain pastas (best prices) Olive Tapenade Cheese (GREAT selection) Just to name a few... read more

Ahh, Trader Hoe's - how I LUV thee. You are a cheaper version of Whole Foods and have (almost) everything I could ask for, and even grew for me over the last year. You always have my cheap, easy-to-make foods, and a decent selection of wine. And when you're feeling like slumming it, $2 buck chuck is $3 buck chuck in this neck of the country. Another case in point to not having everything. I inquired about low-fat tortilla chips and they told me - "Oh, you must have seen that in California. They eat different things in California." Huh? Can a brother get some low-fat TJ's tortilla chips in this town? I'm not asking for freaking foie gras. Now you would be perfect if you had a fresh deli, bakery, hot foods and butcher block - but then you wouldn't be cheap, huh? You would be Whole Foods. read more

I know, I know... Fans of Trader Joe's can be a bit extreme. I get it. But this 5 star rating is based purely on this store's amazing customer service. I felt like a "regular" on my second visit. By this time, many of the store's assocates know me and my wife. They always trust their opinions and they make going to the grocery store a good experience. Plus, the food, wine, beer, and produce is incredable. read more

I love all TJs but this is by far the nicest. It is sooo spacious. They have the same stuff as all the TJs, but they aisles are so much wider. I stopped by after breakfast since I was in the neighborhood and I had a cooler with ice packs in the car (summer in PHX). I got our usual staples. I recognized someone who used to work at the FLW location. I love that there is very little employees turn over, shows how awesome this store is. read more

Trader Joe's is awesome. A great selection of independent, organic and healthy choices. From Trader Joe's own brand of products, to organic produce and meats, specialty items, micro brew beer and wine, to the packaged and frozen food, to flowers and vitamins, it is the perfect place for the health conscious and thrifty. The staff is always friendly and helpful. If you have never been to Trader Joe's, it is a must see. This location is great, really crowded on the weekends and evenings, but what you lose in time you save in price. read more

I love shopping at Trader Joe's. They have awesome food, awesome prices, and even better employees. I was shopping for a beverage but didn't know what I wanted and Isaiah came to my rescue by walking me through their product selection and helping me pick out the perfect drink. He was attentive, knowledgeable and kind (not to mention SUPER cute) and truly brightened my day. Isaiah and Trader Joe's have won my heart, I'll definitely be coming back read more

I have spent 30 years loving Trader Joe's and their offer to take back any product we try. But I made a mistake and bought glucosamine tablets instead of capsules, which were like swallowing tiny bricks. I took them back and one of three men behind the counter said, "Where's your receipt?" I said, "I didn't keep it; I thought you took back all your products." He said with no smile or warmth, "Not vitamins without a receipt." What, because you'd re-sell them? No apology, no kindness. I felt sucker-punched; I thought Trader Joe's liked me. I was so angry and hurt it was silly. But I expected kindness and the policy to be honored and got neither. I've never seen a disclaimer; I felt betrayed. Now my Trader Joe's bags collected from around the country make me sad instead of happy. read more

I remember when Town & Country shopping plaza didn't have this Trader Joe's. In fact I sort of forget what was in its place. But this I do know most of, if not all of the shops that existed in and around this Trader Joe's are all gone now. Their was Juootninhoops, and Harkins theater. But since this Trader Joe's opened I've been going here it's the frist one I went to in Arizona. And it's always been a pleasant experience shopping here. Staff always professional and helpful. Easy to get in and out. And bring your own bag and they give you a ticket....write down your phone number and name and they place all the tickets in a big bowl. Which they pull one out once a week to win a Trader Joe's bag or Tee-shirt or some TJ's featured item.i never did win the raffle. We've seen so many TJ"s employees come and go here. And we've seen some go and come back. Always a go to shop couple of times a week or more. Then they open a Trader Joe's on Tatum and Shea. So we sort of started going to that location. But once I moved back down into the central corridor again it was back to my favourite Trader Joe's at Town & Country read more

If you live close, you should shop here. Just a fun place. Staff is very friendly and they really seem to enjoy working at Trader Joe's. Great selection of food. read more

Now I love all the Trader Joes I have been to but this one takes the cake. It is always busy as he'll but the staff here take their work seriously. For as busy as this place is it always feels organized and well stocked. Steve (i think that's his name) is a rock star and is always helpful and cheerful. The parking lot is a nightmare but I still give this place 5 stars because of the team here. read more

This is the best Trader Joe's in Arizona. They have the best employees working here! Some of my favorites are Mikey L, Ryan, Jency, Big Jake, and many many more. Of course you can find all of your favorite foods here, but you truly get the best customer service in town! Just don't go there on a Sunday unless you love crowds and chaos.... lol. read more

I've always liked Trader Joe's, but hardly ever went, telling myself I couldn't possibly get everything I needed there. After all, each time I've been, I've gotten the impression it's like a half-market. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I still get that impression. Regardless, I went this past weekend because I wanted to look for my all-time favorite nut mix. Ironically, they didn't have the World Mix variety. I figured while I was there, I'd pick up some milk and look around. I began at the cheeses. I picked up a blend o fontino and asiago. Yum. Then I opted to try Trade Joe's chicken apple sausage. Of course, yams (or sweet potatoes) are a must. I also wandered the aisles, was tempted by a couple items but opted to spend $$ on wine and spirits, instead of garlic olive oil and coffee. Yeah, maybe my priorities are a bit skewed. Anyway, I was disappointed with their beer selection. I wanted something for the holidays, for the "winter" I pretend is coming, to whet my whistle. I walked away empty-handed. Instead, I picked up 2 reasonably priced bottles of red wine - both intriguing blends. Why not, I thought. Check out was easy. The cashier was super friendly. She double bagged. Good for her! I walked out feeling victorious, like I had gotten a really good deal. To prove my point, I compared price points between what I spent at Trader Joe's and what I spent at Fry's. Come to find out, everything was less expensive at TJ's. I swear it. Even their baby spinach salad didn't break $2. The skim milk, the yams, the chicken sausage... all less at TJ's. This tells me I need to shop here more often. The only downside is the crowd. It's always cramped and I feel like I'm in every body's way. I damn sure know everybody is in my way. I don't like dodging people or obstacles. I don't like getting bumped into by carts and huge lady purses. There was even one point after picking up my spinach that I was trapped by two carts. The drivers were oblivious. I stood there, trying to figure out my best route of escape. Finally one lady looked up at me and moved her cart an inch out of the way. That's when I made a run for it. read more

This is MY store. Not yours, or your neighbors, or her mom's, but MINE. I love shopping at Trader Joe's. They carry plenty of bagged meals for two people that you can just heat up and eat. They aren't full of awful chemicals like at the grocery store, either. The people who work here are very friendly, and I don't get stressed out shopping here like I do at Safeway or Fry's, plus most things are cheaper. They seem to constantly run out of the Thai Chicken Noodle Salad though... not sure why they don't order more. Every time they get it in, people buy 5 or 6 boxes of it. read more

Checked out this location. Smaller than the Albuquerque NM store that we frequently visit but found the items we were needing but noticed selection was different or maybe I just wasn't finding what I needed. I didn't find the selection of jelly and jams that I wanted but that is okay. read more

Been a fan of TJ's since my first visit back in ABQ. This place is more than just a grocery store, you can find great deals on fresh flowers, laundry detergent and stuff for your four legged friends! I usually stock up on regional beer and coffee and the wife likes getting her spices, chips and cookies as well. This location was quaint and very clean! Smaller than the one back in ABQ but everything we wanted or needed was here as well. read more

My go-to Trader Joe's. Favorites in the last have included the now apparently discontinued dark chocolate mint shortbread star cookies, the seasonal pumpkin pie mochi ice cream, frozen cha siu bao/BBQ pork bun dim sum, their soy ice cream sandwiches, mozzarella, granola, honey roasted peanuts, and flat bread. Misses from here include their frozen tamales, loaf bread (it molds in a days), and frozen shu mai (way too much onion). I've also picked up some health items here like "green" plant-based vitamin supplements that seem promising. And of course their speculoos cookie butter and its many related products deserves a mention. Trader Joe's is also a place for gifts, especially when they roll out their large assortment in the winter. They have some very unique candies, baked goods, teas, and other treats, all of which are a big hit in states that don't currently have their own Trader Joe's. I have had moldy food from here twice (tin of mints and pack of sliced cheese). They gave me a refund even when I didn't have the receipt with me, which I appreciated. Watch out for when the parking lot gets busy! read more

Love this TJ's -- the staff are always friendly and helpful. After years of TJ shopping in many states, we can say this is absolutely one of the best. So why only 3 stars? Took off one because somebody here lets people without masks shop (making it nerve-racking to pick up our usual goodies) and another star off when the manager couldn't be bothered to respond to my email asking why this could happen. For a store that's done an otherwise amazing job responding to the pandemic, this is a really weird (and disturbing) departure. read more

Trader Joe's is one of my favorite grocery stores, when I lived in Fayetteville NC I used to drive almost 2 hours to Raleigh just to do my grocery shopping but it was worth the drive. Now that I'm in Phoenix it seems like it's one everywhere and I'm loving it. I like getting my on the go snacks from here, they are healthy and tasty. What else can a girl ask for??? Lol read more

This location feels like the perfect spot for a TJs. It just fits the area, we have been to the one at Arrowhead and it feels a little out of place up there. But at Camelback and 20th its just the right fit. I always like to buy one new thing when doing a large grocery shop and am always pleased! Here are a few of our Favs: Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Fresh Motz Cheese Balls Chocolate Jo Jos Garlic Herb Pizza Dough These are just to name a few. Trader Joes knows how to do a unique, fun, healthy market. read more

The staff are great and always very available and helpful. They have good prices on cheese and my "go to" place for odd ingredients. They have good prices on flowers. Suggestion: Go to Trader's Joe's on a Wednesday between 10:00am and 2:00pm and you can take advantage of the fresh produce outside at the farmer's market, then go in and shop for your other products. read more

The best trader joes I've ever been to! Everyone is so helpful and friendly! Plus I've had to instances come up where I either forgot my wallet or had car issues, not only did they let me hold my cart of food in the back BUT they also let me use their phones and helped me as I waited for AAA-- fantastic people! On the foodie side, they're always willing to discuss what you are looking for and make recommendations. PLUS the flowers are always BEAUTIFUL! read more

Still love it, but this location is really turning into a madhouse on weekends. I need to start waking up earlier to get over there or something... At least we don't have lines out the door yet just to get in the store like in NYC... read more

This location ALMOST NEVER has Coconut Milk ice cream. When they do stock it they only carry one flavor chocolate. This has been going on for years. It's summer in Phoenix and over 100 degrees everyday! Get it together Trader Joes. Stock some ice cream that those of us with dairy allergies can have and give us some variety! I'm tired of having to wait in the long lines at this location just to find out they don't have any again and again! read more

I still like this TJ's because of the customer service and the location, but I have noticed it gets crazy busy in here. It gets more crowded than some of the Trader Joe's in the Los Angeles area that I've been too, which is saying something. If you don't mind that, though, I still think this is a great location to come to. read more

I love Trader Joe's but every time I've come to this location the employees seem so miserable. It makes it feel like a chore shopping here! Definitely prefer other locations. read more

They carry such a great selection of healthy foods, and always have a sampling table of something great! The prices are awesome too! read more

Love this Trader Joe's! All of the employees are always so nice and helpful! Never have to wait in a long line! read more
