Since I changed to 100% plant based eating TJ's still fits the bill for great priced quality options. They even have a list of vegan foods that you can ask for to save you time while shopping. Of course many items are marked with the "V" to let you know what is vegan. Right now my favorites are the falafel wraps, soy yogurts and soy creamy ice cream. The staff is always friendly and helpful and when they see me with the list they offer to help me find the items listed. read more

Trader Joe's - Really good wine suggested by James. - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

It seems like all Trader Joe's stores please me easily. I love every single location that I cross by. Therefore, this Shea location is not my exception. It is super clean and organized. Staffs are very friendly. There is nothing for me to complain about. I came here with my friends. They both like organic food and local product. Even though we know that the price is about $1 or $2 higher than regular market, we still end up with buying a lot of things. Because this store gives us a strong feeling and positive experience that it has credible and healthy products. One more thing I like is that it has a small cart that fit for kids. It is absolutely cute. I haven't seen anything like that from any store before. I bought heavy whipping cream and mascarpone for my tiramisu tomorrow. But I couldn't find lady finger. Hopefully, they will add this product to their list. :) read more

Trader Joe's - So beautiful - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I am huge fan of Trader Joe's. They are great for precut veggies and fruits, unique cheeses, prepared sandwiches and salads (try the Pasadena....it's AMAZINGLY) and an assortment of easy to cook frozen meals and desserts. Some of our must get items are the crispy chocolate chip cookies, orange jelly sticks, and the caramelized onion dip. The store is clean and bright. The staff is friendly and willing to let you try just about anything. Most times when you go they are offering samples in the back of the store there is always a chance to try something new. They also have great prices on flowers. read more

Loved the customer service by the Asian cashier and his co-worker who bags groceries. I also love the free food and alcohol samples. read more

This Trader's Joe's location has a lot of room to shop around and bright. Great variety of flowers. The rest is pretty much the same as the 2 California locations that I have shopped at previously. Glad to get my favorite Trader Joe's treats to take with me back home. To Trader Joe's in general- again, so sad that Trader Joe's doesn't want to come to Hawaii! :( Second wish is that they would have an online store of the non perishable foods. read more

Friendly associates, helpful but not pushy, store was clean and full. Great selection and prices! Emma was particularly helpful in finding a turkey for me! read more

I'm a Trader Joe's junkie. I get most of my food from here. I love the atmosphere, selection, samples and of course the friendly employees. The only thing I don't like is the seasonal availability. You fall in love with something then you gotta wait a year to see it again! Back home I had 2 stores closeby to choose from and watched as they opened up two in Manhattan (finally!). So of course I move here and one of my requirements was to live near one (or more)! This location feels smaller than the one in Tempe, but much more streamlined. Both are a bit out of the way for me, but this one makes more sense since I do most of my shopping in Scottsdale. There are less people shopping here (yay) and I feel like I can get in and out quicker. The employees are always right there when you need them. Bonus: It's right next door to The Vitamin Shoppe, so I can kill two birds with one stone (is that pc? ah well)! Next stop: the TJ's in Paradise Valley to compare. read more

My wife loves your salad mixes! Thank you for carrying the maple cookie from Canada!!!! read more

Visited Trader Joe's on Tatum & Shea this morning about 10am. The experience was very pleasant. Before entering, each guest gets a spray of hand sanitizer and about 95-98% of customers and all team members were wearing masks. Bonus was finding peonies (5 stems) for $7.99! Love Trader Joe's, great selection, pristine stores and their floral department. read more

Trader Joe's - Peonies! - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

At checkout, Frank started ringing up my purchases and asked how I was. When I said, "okay" he listened. And what person at a checkout counter does that or has to do that? But he did and then later ran out to the parking lot with his best wishes and a gift. Kindness is a rare thing these days and Frank took a simple trip to the store and gave me hope and support. It's not just your groceries that are fabulous, Trader Joe's. Thank you, Frank. read more

Besides the nice wine selection and some friendly and educated cashiers, the store and its employees are pretty rude overall. This is in regards, mostly mask requirements. They are very rude when it comes to that and stopping you at the door, but I'm sure they are following its management and owner's attitude as well! Since masks are no longer requirement in Arizona, they are still enforcing it because their " headquarters" is in California! This was the response from lady at the door!! Are you serious??? I mean, please, think before you say something that makes no sense. What their headquarters in California has to do with Arizona regulations...‍‍‍.. Please, have some common sense!! read more

I Love Trader Joe's. If you have never been to one, the first time is like shopping in a Grocery store in another country. But you get used to their brand and come to rely on it as quality. they always have fun new items. I love the cheese section, tons of different kinds. Also a great place to pick up flowers for someone, like a hostess gift. Or just some to make your house more beautiful :) read more

I absolutely love this store!!! All of the employees are amazing and super friendly! I used to come here for just a few of my favorites but now I come here for my weekly meal planning. Some of my staples: iced coffee, sweet potato gnocchi, frozen Mac and cheese, sauté Brussels sprouts, hummus, and omg the coffee Ice cream sandwiches!!! Those are my faves right now! read more

Everyone's always happy and incredibly helpful here. Mandarin chicken, chocolate croissants are our faves. Kids love the little push carts - so cute! Sparkling lemonade is great with fresh strawberries. Come check out all they have to offer...their flowers are beautiful too! read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Not sure if they are pressuring the workers like Monique and Erick to remind people about mask policies to the point of them getting a rude attitude greeting customers.. probably won't be coming back to this Trader Joe's after today read more

Love TJ. Best place for trying new things on a budget. I have to hop on a plane to get to a TJ so I practically buy a suitcase worth of goods to bring back. Place has great premade meals like salads. The frozen section is great too, so much variety. Each store will vary in size but they will have very similar products. Gotta look at the booze, great variety also and ask the employees what they recommend. The seasonal items are worth the splurge, especially anything with chocolate! One thing I do appreciate is how friendly the employees are, must be because the merchandise is amazing! read more

My abject disdain for Trader Joes continues and if not for the wife , I would not have stopped. This place is a lie. It portends to be healthy and organic, but the shelves are lined with processed sugar pulp. Cookies, marshmallows and the occasional guilt assuaging (yuk) seaweed crisps.. Trader Joes, I'd ask you to shut your pie hole, but it's too full of, well, pies. read more

Some more favorites to share: While THEIR crab cakes may not do it for me, I've invented my own using supplies from Trader Joe's: in the refrigerator section they sell a 1 lb. can of all claw crab meat for about $8! I mix this with 1/2 c. panko break crumbs, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons Trader Joe's Aioli Garlic Mustard Sauce and a couple shakes of louisiana hot sauce. It makes about 5 fairly large crab cakes which I pan fry in olive oil for about 4 minutes per side. Now, THAT's a crab cake! Another favorite concoction, thanks to Trader Joe's is their light champagne vinaigrette, black mission figs, crumbled goat cheese tossed with sliced red onion, arugula and a cut up apple -- it's an AWESOME salad! Dessert? Trader Joe's dark chocolate bar caramel with black sea salt -- F'n A!! There are NO words! read more

I am a fan of Trader Joe's in general, but this location is my favorite amongst those that I frequent. Parking: I'm always concerned I won't find a spot, but I always do. They have a lot of shady parking spaces. In Phoenix, that earns at least a star, right there! Staff: friendly, efficient and not too weird. Cleanliness of store: clean and organized. I haven't been to any TJ's that weren't. Product selection/prices: good to great. Of course, there are things you just can't get at TJ's but the stuff you CAN get is high quality. Grass fed NY strip steaks for 10.99/lb??? GET OUT! Biggest criticism is that sometimes the fruit is nasty! I've wasted money on inedible pints of figs, etc. It's hit or miss, though, some stuff is very good. I just don't concentrate my produce buying in TJ's. The biggest reason this is my favorite location is that it is not as cut-throat as the one on FLW Blvd. The Scottsdale Ladies up there are friggin' ruthless and make shopping a very unpleasant experience at times. Not TJ's fault at all, just a characteristic of that location. read more

The hardest part of going gluten-free for me is the sweets... I had some genetic-gift of being able to eat all the sugary stuff I want without really gaining any weight... at least I thought it was a gift... until my doctor told me that the digestive issues that I have suffered my whole life - one that really kicked in this past year - is caused by my consuming gluten. She said that if I continue to eat that way, my pain would get worse and I could even be at risk for cancer or a paralyzed colon... I just know it sucks because I am forced to change my diet. Trader Joes has been a life-saver though... with a gluten-free butter cookie that tastes sooooo gooood! It's like it's a regular cookie - verses some of the cardboard-chew I am finding. I don't know the name of the cookie - but if you go into Joe's, their awesome people will point you in the right direction. I LOVE IT - I LOVE IT - I LOVE IT! read more

I love Trader Joe's! This location in particular is always well stocked and has super friendly employees. They keep my fridge well stocked and I love a lot of their pre-made items. Some of my recent favorites: Carne Asada, Pizza Thins, Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce, Biryani Rice, Hummos, and Frozen Tamales. I could go on for days. The wine selection is awesome for the size of the store and the sweets are addicting. They also have a great amount of vitamins and supplements. Now if they could only improve the produce section I wouldn't need to shop anywhere else. read more

We were in Scottsdale for a baseball tournament and were headed to our resort. Our plan is always to go to the supermarket to pick up snacks and breakfast items so that we do not have to eat out every single meal. We had already been in AZ for a day and had a few baseball games when we drove by again. Armed now with the need for many snacks for double headers and the convenience of the TJs to our resort, I decided to stop. The place was crowded, but did not feel that way. It is a pretty spacious store with a good layout. I ran in while SG stayed in the car resting. I felt like a kid in the candy store. I was hungry and Tjs has the best stuff! I grabbed fruit, yogurt and granola for breakfast. Some ice cream bars for dessert. And several bags of trail mixes for out on the field. I am not a sunflower seed fan, but needed something nut like to fit in in the stands at the game, so I picked up some spicy pistachios, mmmmmm. The young man who rung up the order was very nice and asked me about the Pre world series baseball game that would be on TV that night and made a little conversation. And then it was off with my treasure! Tj's is the best! And this one is in a good spot , good prices, open really early in the morning (before 8am), and some super nice people work there! read more

When it comes to Trader Joes, I think this location really takes the cake. Even with it being across the parking lot from Whole Foods, the place is always busy and always full of happy employees. I enjoy their fruit section which is not something I usually find appealing at other Trader Joes. Great selection Great produce Plenty of parking Friendly employees read more

I absolutely love Trader Joe's but there is something about this location where all the stock people like to roll up on you and can't wait until you're done. Today's guy in the produce section got so close to me that I felt like giving him a hug. This did get me to hurry the hell up so maybe I do thank you but for the love of all that is holy - what the fudge. read more

I love Trader Joe's! I mostly go for their bars of oatmeal soap. It has a very light scent, and I am often bothered by scents, so it is perfect! I love to look at all their new items, and try samples. I am a big fan of their three layer hummus, and they have a lot of really interesting frozen meals. They also have some milk and dark chocolate toffee that is excellent! I go for the soap and come home with a bunch of new things to try! read more

This TJs location is smaller than others I've frequented in the Valley, but is A-OK nonetheless. Of course, tons of shoppers which is pretty much the status quo for this health-oriented chain. Plenty of organic produce and shelf-stable foodstuffs available, as well as specialty products under the TJ label to offer patrons. They had a full shelf of unsweetened, dried mango which I swiftly swept into my basket. I swear, I almost bought their daily inventory, but the unsweetened mango is hard to find. Prices are both high and low, in my opinion, depending on what you buy. I like that they sell vitamins (I buy special sublingual B-12 tablets) and other supplements too. Since there are always a lot of ppl shopping at TJs, there's always a wait at the registers. Parking here is a tad tight and packed which makes me a little nervous but it works. Workers are friendly and seem to enjoy working there, which adds a positive experience. read more

I have been shopping at Trader Joe's about every 10 days since they opened this store. That says a great deal. My friend sent me a link about tea. I was dismayed to read that Trader Joe's tea contains a high level of pesticides. I was at the store today and asked one of the empoyees about this. He said it was not true and that basically I shouldn't believe it. So I went to their corporate website. If you are reading this, please call Trader Joe's and inquire (626) 599-3700. We have a right to know. read more

I wouldn't normally shop at Trader Joe's because the higher prices scare me, but I had a $25 gift card as a thank you from a pet sitting client. This TJ was easy to find, located on the Northwest corner of Shea and Tatum, but parking was insane. Car were stopped in the middle of the lot waiting for other cars to exit their parking spot, blocking all through traffic. So annoying!! I shopped around for things I wouldn't normally buy at those higher prices and ended up with a container of 70 gummy multivitamins for nearly the same price I normally buy 150 at Target. I also got a guacamole dip mix ingredients in a cute little mesh bag, a bag of artichokes, and some multigrain nut bars. The store was clean, but that's to be expected in a grocery store. I had to wait in my car for cars to park and pass before I could get out of my parking space and the lot. I don' know how frequent shoppers put up with the poor parking situation. I know I wouldn't. read more

Great location. A little smaller than most but its the perfect location for me. Very clean, well organized store with an extremely friendly staff just like most Trader Joes. Any time I have question about a product or need a suggestion (even if its a recipe suggestion.) The staff is always extremely helpful and seem to have a "this is the best day ever!" Attitude... Everyday. The only downfall of this location is the parking situation... ALWAYS hectic. All in all great location. read more

This is the closest TJ's to me. The people are always friendly as usual with allTrader Joes stores. I regularly go on Sunday nights super busy, I buy the pre-made salads for my weekday lunches. I am a vegetarian so my favorites are Greek, Shrimp and southwest Yummy! Wine lovers go here for great deals on good wine, Some of my favorites I can only get here, organic Well Red, Zarafa Pinotage, the Sangiovese for under 3 bucks. cant be em. Frozen veggies are a good deal and the meatless meatballs soo good with spaghetti squash and or just plain BBQ sauce. Also buy the hummus Eggplant or roasted red pepper. Produce is a little pricy. so I buy elsewhere like Sprouts or Sunflower. Cant go wrong with free samples and wine tastings daily. read more

What can I say about trader joes that hasnt been said before, its great and this review is more so for all trader joes of the world that equally rock faces. And by rock faces I dont mean that in the UFC way where you will get injured or injure other customers in the store because thats rude and completely ridiculous but it rocks your face with deliciousness. Its hard to find something I dont like at trader joes and at some times I'm like hey this is over priced then I buy wine thats fantastic and half the cost or a regular label at a normal store like Albertsons of which i truly hate. I hate Albertons, im sorry they are terrible, that is all. read more

Love Trader Joe's but this was my worse experience. Found flower display was so lacking as to the other Trader Joe's I have visited. I did purchase roses that I put in water in my car to take home and woke up this morning and roses (in my vase with water and freshener provided) they are just laying over also bought the same pastry (almond ring pastry with date 2/22/21) I buy, always and it was stale this morning - made no sense sense I have never had these experiences. The orchid selection was the smallest I have ever seen. What a disappointment and I don't think it's for Trader Joe's per se because this is the only store that I've visited that seemed so lacking - didn't even have the store front presence the others have had - I didn't feel like I was actually walking into a Trader Joe's - don't know if Manager is lacking or what? I'm writing this because this was the only disappointment I've ever had at your stores. I live in another part of the city but was up to this area for Dr. Appt. and stopped in. read more

Trader Joe's - Roses bought Feb. 18, morning of Feb.19 - Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place is a pick me up, always. Fresh flowers & plants greet you at the door! Sunflowers & Daisies for $3.00 a bunch and, they last all week long. Finding lunch , dinner and breakfast must haves that are healthy, low sodium, & sugar free is so convenient. It helps that the store samples entrees, desserts, coffee and sometimes /beer. I've found family and personal fav's that are solid staples. The health/beauty products are affordable and fun to try like the blueberry acacia facial scrub and oatmeal soap. My dogs love the biscuits. Im sure some people complain about the little kids carts but, they are a hit and have saved me "meltdowns" when I have had to bribe kids to find the hidden parrot in order to win a prize from the treasure chest. The seasonal beverage selection is unbeatable. Finally, In the last few years I have shopped here, the experience has always been pleasurable. Shout out to Brian for being thoughtful today at checkout. The employees I've met so far are helpful and go out of their way. read more

Just returned from shopping at Trader Joe's and Whole Food. Very disappointed in Trader Joe's, while the employees were practicing social distancing and wore masks the majority of the customers were NOT. In contrast, Whole Foods, which is in the same parking lot, I only observed one customer without a mask. Guess I'll me shopping at Whole Food going forward and continuing to tell other's how disappointing and potential dangerous shopping at Trader Joe could be. read more

This is definitely my favorite grocery store ever. I used to shop at Fry's, then Walmart and Whole Foods; but I walked in here one day and discovered how amazing their products are. Super high quality, health stuff for affordable prices. Definitely competitive prices on most products, in my opinion. AWESomE employees; met some real friends just by doing my weekly shopping here! They are all so wonderful, truly caring and genuine people that work here! read more

This location has become my #1 favorite location in Phoenix. I used to go to the one at Town & Country because it used to be closer to where I live, but it was always so congested in there--- like crazy busy that it seemed to ruin the experience. This location at Tatum/Shea is much more roomier and not nearly as "mad-house"- ish. The employees are so nice (well, most TJ employees are fabulous!) and helpful. They will always go look something up for you or help you find what you need. Around the holidays, they all have some of THE BEST holiday treats ever--- ranging from cookies, teas, chocolates, etc. I can't even function in December without the Gingerbread Coffee or Winter BLend coffee. The prices are unbelievable affordable and the packing of their products are so cute. I really can't say enough great things about Trader Joes, if you have never been to one, I suggest you get moving to your closest location asap. read more

This is my favorite grocery store and just wish there was one closer to my house. I used to shop at the Metrocenter location until it closed down. It is nice having this and Whole Foods in the same parking lot as there are things I like from both locations. The product that brings us back time and again is their Chicken Andouille Sausage. Good flavor that tastes great in a variety of dishes. We're also fans of their plain non-fat yogurt. read more

Do you kow that last week they had bottles of wine for $1.99? Now, let me tell you, I was beyond Skeptical. (being the wine snob that I am). But then I thought, well we do get a lot of visitors who either don't care what we serve or don't appreciate the $20/30/40 dollar bottles I like, so why waste them? So, I got about 5 cases or red & white. That was my biggest deal of the year. (I'm just mad I didn't buy more and it's all gone now - the store, that is!) Fantastic place to pick up an instant picnic! Pita Puffs?! I can scarf down a bag in 2 sittings. Coffee Beans? Can you say Organic & Free Trade? Chicken skewers? Fastest little meal to BBQ on earth. French Thin-Crust Pizza with ham and Brie? (OMG) Luv their imported things Moroccan Rosemary Almonds. Lemon Pepper in its own cute little grinder? Can't do without it. Dim Sum - Fabby little snack ready in minutes, like their edamame & pot stickers. read more

Like every Trader Joe's, always an adventure shopping here. Just wish they had more stores back East and particularly close to us. Rumor has it one is being located in Memphis so that will give us some relief. Just stopped in to buy some nuts and snacks for a road trip from Phoenix to San Francisco and back to Las Vegas. Great selection and great employees as well. read more

Well I can't really say much more than what has already been said by the many reviewers here.....but I can say that I am very glad there is a Trader Joes in my neighborhood. The have all the local.....organic....healthy.....and unique items just like all other Trader Joes. This one however is very clean.....very well organized and the customer service is world class....that's right world class. I know that sounds funny but in this day and time when everyone has the "ALL ABOUT ME" attitude......it is nice to go to your local shopping destination and find people who care about others and want to assist them in ANY WAY POSSIBLE. I really appreciate that kind of service....despite the fact that items here can be pretty expensive. However due to the quality of what is being sold.....paying a little more is acceptable. KUDOS to the staff and remember to Eat, Drink, and be Merry my Friends!!!!! read more
