Cashiers are always friendly, prices are that of usual Trader Joe's. I love it because there is always something new to try. The store introduces you to new tastes and sights at each visit....nice little grocery trip but a little packed on the weekends.... read more

I like the store in general, but I think it's a little expensive. The worst is their parking!. Everyone I know can't stand the parking there. There are so many empty grocery stores close by that would work out much better. read more

Yay for Trader Joe's they have the best best best selection of natural and organic items in the area for affordable prices! They didNt have everything I needed but for the most part I was satisfied read more

Great friendly folks to ring up your healthy and reasonable food choices!!! Eat to good health! Need I say more ;-)

I do love Trader Joes. They are one of the few stores with unpasteurized orange juice. They have a great selection of premade salads. They definitely carry things that other stores don't carry. Our family probably goes to Trader Joes two or three times each week. (I deducted one star for the nightmare parking lot which is always crowded and chaotic and never enjoyable. And that parking issue seems to be a commonality to all Trader Joes.) read more

Just left the store with wine and cheese recommended by the nice guy doing the free samples and it's THE BEST combination in life! Couldn't be happier with my purchase and am so grateful for the awesome employees who know whatsup! You go trader joes guy! read more

I wish we could list 2.5 star - oh well. I like Trader Joe's for wine, and a few other items you really can't find at the standard chain grocery stores. What I don't like about this location is the parking- what an adventure. First off - spaces are tiny, too many cars/trucks not enough spaces -good for them bad for us, carts everywhere including the limited spaces - so watch out if you have a nice vehicle and don't like ding or dents. I started shopping at their Concord location on my way home from work - parking is soo much better - thumbs up! read more

I love all TJ stores. That's all I got to say about that :-) I know service quality varies by location but in the most part, they're quite good. read more

Of course I like trader joe's same as the other one. The reason of giving 3-star instead of "4 star" is for the tight parking situation. Our cars got scratched twice. Very small parking, narrow aisles, also when you try to get out of the plaza to get back onto 580, it's very difficult to turn left onto Pimlico Dr. We gave up going there but rather go to Danville one. read more

Have been to this store plenty of time. Great prices. The last time I came I had and issue with tortillas being covered in mold 2 days after buying them (way before the expiration date and sealed in a bag). Also ground turkey smelt disgusting after being in the fridge for a couple days. Milk smelt foul days after getting it (and yogurt like consistency on the Best Buy date. I have had this issue with the milk before and heard it from others...meant to bring it back...but who has time for that. I will be cautious of what I buy from now on ! read more

Trader Joe's - Thick and foul smelling before expiration date! Have had this issue a couple times! - Grocery Near Me - Pleasanton, California

See all

I love trader joe's. If you can handle the small parking space, definitely come here to get great quality groceries and helpful staff.

I looooooove Trader Joe's. They have great items at great prices. The only drawback at this location is the parking. Spaces are few and are tiny. read more

These guys and gals know how to do it right. Any question, they drop what they are doing to help you with it. Yeah, I wish they had blood oranges... and witch hazel... and frozen lemonade (have to wait till summer...). But still: anytime I asked, they hopped to. The sample person was friendly as all git-out, too. Also, very clean bathrooms. I live next to Safeway, but tonight I went out of my way just to get milk at TJ's, because it's a such a pleasure to go there. read more

I think this a really great store. Love all of it!! Fresh flowers that last for days & are cheap... great frozen foods, fresh meat, ect.... can't go wrong! I would go there alot more if it wasn't for the PARKING LOT!!! It is way to small & dangerous at times. I have actually drove in and drove out without going in to TJ's because the parking lot was way to crazy... I think TJ's should take over the old Nob Hill store instead of Walmart trying to get it. read more

Love this Trader Joes. I live an hour away, but have to visit my doctor in the area once a month or so and ALWAYS make sure to stop here when I'm near. Items are well stocked, they seem to have a much larger selection than the TJ in my own area. I've been there as early as when it first opens and later in the afternoon and it's always busy, but big enough that a crowd doesn't make it inconvenient. The one thing I have to say I can't stand about this TJ is the parking lot. It's super small and can be chaotic with all the people. But with that said it still doesn't stop me from shopping there. I'm actually in the area today and couldn't wait to come by! read more

Everything is awesome about this trader joes, minus the parking lot. Other than that, the staff is amazing, always checking in to see if you need help and always happy to be at work...I've never met a grumpy employee there. I love how all the checkers make conversation with you and make you feel as though you've known them your whole life. The best part is the small cup of complimentary coffee I can grab and sip on while I shop. Parking is rough, so I avoid the dinner time crowd and try to go first thing in the morning or late at night before closing. read more

First time being here since they moved and love the new location! Doesn't seem run down and out of date anymore and the parking lot is way better!! read more

My ode to Trader Joe's in P-Town. Smushed in that shopping center, without any parking spaces of your own. Neighbors marking their territory with green paint and 10-minute signs. All sizes of human transporters competing for the next opening. Crowded groups picking out bananas and racing to the free samples. Winding, winding, winding around the aisles to find the end of the line to meet the next cashier. Oh my former love, I have left. Did you notice? I take my TJ's bags over to Livermore. So sad. read more

I do all of my food shopping here - except for 2 or 3 items. If only they carried Miracle Whip, normal bread, and Gatorade. Prices are great and their frozen stuff (as well as fresh) is so easy for non-cooking engineer types like me. And they have a very decent wine selection. I recommend trying some of their Chilean wines. Although they took over the store space next door a few years ago, it is still much too small. This is one of the smallest TJ's I've seen. One more store space would make it much better. read more

I like this store. It's clean and well-organized. I shop here every week, because their fruits, vegetables, bread, etc. are fresh, and their cashiers are so friendly and helpful. read more

Very nice people that work their and smile and very polite. Sometimes they also have some different samples of food!

Great staff!! Makes coming to T Joe's more enjoyable when the staff is attentive. Great deals and food!!

I absolutely love this Trader Joe's. The staff is friendly and very attentive. They seem to really enjoy their jobs and each other. My favorite original Trader Joe's products: 21 Seasoning Salute, Sprouted Flowerless Whole Wheat Berry Bread, Vanilla Cultured Coconut Milk (like yogurt), Pound Plus Chocolate (found above in the freezer section) and Zucchini Date Loaf. Best brown jumbo eggs in town! They have a constant turn-over of produces and produce because this place is so popular! read more

We both enjoyed this store. Not a main grocery store here but really enjoyed. However,for us,the bread was waayy to much to eat.(not big bread eaters)We will be back. read more

I love the products here! The cost is comparable to most grocery stores. The service is a "10". Last week a cashier "Diana" was assisting me looking for a product. I was in a hurry, and told her never mind. She had left her register to assist me. I returned one week later and she not only remembered me, but quickly showed me to the product I was searching for. I couldn't believe she cared enough to remember me and get the answer my impatient self decided not to wait for a week ago! This is just one example. The employee's here are the best! read more

I love Trader Joe's, and I rarely do my day-to-day food shopping anywhere else. And yes, it is a bit of a hassle getting my cart back to the car with all the small parking spaces, wish I was a one-bagger. Great prices and lots of choices of almost-ready-to-eat grub. Friendly staff too. Love the sign artwork too. read more

Awesome place to shop at! They have a good variety of food at decent prices, and some things that I can't find else where. The staff are always kind and seem happy to be there when they ring you up and help you to bag your items. It's a pleasant place to shop at, over all. read more

Is good customer service a thing of the past? Look, I used to shop at the Danville location and the staff there seemed to have a stick up their a** so I started shopping at the Pleasanton location a few years back. Now, same problem! On my weekly visit today, I decided to bring along my registered service dog due to my medical condition being particularly problematic today. I made sure to put his red "Sevice Dog" vest on, to be sure I wouldn't be harassed by some uneducated employee. But still, I was harassed. A cashier approached me and told me I was to put my service dog on the ground and on a leash. How am I supposed to push a cart with one hand and hold the leash with the other? I told her I couldn't do that so I would have to just leave and she shrugged her shoulders and walked away. My service animal is a mini poodle and fit perfectly in the child seat area of the shopping cart. Not to mention I physically cannot do what she asked of me. I suffer from arthritis, tendinitis, and chronic pain in my hands and wrists. On my way out I told a manager my health situation and that I felt harassed by his cashier. He rolled his eyes at me and didn't do a thing. What kind of customer service is this? I spend $1000s/yr of my hard earned money here... that ends today. read more

Excellent place for good food and quality of merchandise.the customer service is fabulous thank

PARKING SUCKS. It has sucked since the beginning of them being in that plaza. Please move locations to somewhere with room for the people who want to patronize your store. read more

My review is for Chris North. Not the store, as the store manager Abraham was of no help what so ever, not sure why he is a manager. I wanted to mention the customer service that my husband and I received from this gentlemen was amazing. Chris went out of his way to give us exceptional customer service and exceed our expectations. The service industry has gone down hill and its not every day you come across a sales associate willing to help and exceed expectations. Thank you Chris! read more

I hate Trader Joe's. Or rather, I hate going to Trader Joe's. It seems like the higher-end organic foods make people more pushy or perhaps just attract aggressive yuppies in general. The parking lot is very crowded and they were out of hand sanitizing wipes today! I only give it that second star because they do have some good stuff, like the Sun Dried Tomatoes and Pesto Torta. read more

This particular Trader Joes discriminated against me. I had an exchange ( a bottle of vitamins.) I went to the customer service desk to inform them of the exchange. One of the assistant managers said he would hold the vitamins at the counter, and to go find another item. Before I walked away, he said he wanted to hold the receipt too! I thought that was odd and handed him the receipt. I went to look for another item and was followed around the store as if I was going to steal something. After finding another item, I went back to the customer service desk to let him know I found an item. He then told me I had to get in a regular line, and to let the checker know that he had my exchange at the customer service desk. I stood in a "regular line." After 10 minutes it was finally my turn. I informed the checker that I had an exchange, and he asked for the original item. I informed the checker that the guy at the customer service desk said to let him know that I had an exchange. When the checker attempted to contact the customer service desk, nobody was there. The checker had to track him down which took another 10 minutes. After tracking him down he brought my original purchase to my lane-without the receipt! He then had to go back and find my original receipt which took another 5 minutes! The exchange finally happened- so irritating!! Before I walked out I went back to the customer service desk and asked that guy for his name and title. I asked him if this was Proper Procedure for ALL customers that do exchanges (holding the item AND the receipt, etc) and he had no answer for me. No customer should ever have to feel like that. Will never shop here again. I didnt want to give any stars, but this system wouldnt let me save my comment without clicking a star...smh read more

the thing about trader joes is they don't have produce and meats the way i like to pick my produce and meats. all of their greens are pre-packaged... i like to see the product as a whole and pick my bundles of spinach and kale. i like to pick my steaks or filets of fish. i love that it's convenient for busy people, but it's not my favorite everyday shopping. i love trader joes for the little things like sea salt, bread, and pantry staples. read more

Trader Joe's is my favorite place to shop. I'm a label reader...yep, I've finally become one and most of the stuff (not all) in Trader Joe's is missing the hydrogenated oils, yellow #5, red #40, fructose corn syrup, etc, etc, etc - the things I'm not supposed to eat anymore, right? So, the store is a little on the small side - no biggie. It has the basics - milk, bread, eggs, cheese, veggies, fruits and meats - all the stuff we are supposed to eat. I love that they have pre-cut veggies - it makes it so much easier to cook - I always hated chopping! I love that they have samples. I love that they have marinated meats. What else do I love? Joe, Joes (no hydrogenated oils), spinach dip (made with yogurt, so it's not as fatty), Tiramisu gelato (smooth and creamy), caramel bites (only 35 calories each and how sweet it is), mushroom risotto (and I don't even eat mushrooms), italian beverages (die-licioso) and on, and on, and on, and on... Oh and did I mention that everything is less expensive here...yep, I can buy the exact groceries at Safeway and it will cost me 2 - 3 times more!!! I guess I drank the Trader Joe's Kool-Aid and boy does it taste good...keep it coming! read more

Ive been shopping at TJs for as long as they have been in Pleasanton and have never had a bad experience. I just left the store and the young lady did not double bag my groceries with a bottle of wine as has been the custom in previous years. I went home and when I picked the bag up the bag handle ripped off due to the weight. and the wine bottle broke. I called the store not to have the wine replaced as it was inexpensive and I spoke with AJ who said it has never been their custom to double bag. I had been very nice stating I did not want a replacement but perhaps just a reminder to their employees especially new ones to double bag heavy items. He was very defensive and I must say I felt discounted. read more

The quality of TJ's dropped immensely in the last year or so. It is not just one store, although I do most of my TJ shopping at the Pls location, I have noticed it at the Livermore store and in a couple in LA. My feedback is the following: I have purchase products that are already opened on numerous occasions now. A package of rice, a box of mac n cheese, crackers where the box itself was sealed but the plastic bag inside was open. I have gotten moldy bread, and had a screw in my bag of brussel sprouts. I have had countless cases of questionable produce. I am sick of getting home only to discover that I have to go back to return these things. Should I learn my lesson and inspect each thing BEFORE I put it the cart? I guess so. But with my 2 year old in tow, I don't have the luxury to do these things that the stores should be doing for me. I keep going back to TJ's because the prices are so awesome....I always think, oh I'll buy this and that at TJ's instead of Safeway because the cost difference on any given item can be several dollars. But perhaps this is what I get for paying low prices....low quality. I now, NEVER buy any produce or bread at TJ's. I only buy canned or boxed goods or dairy but inspect the dates. Oh well...I just wish it was still the fabulous store it started out as. P.S. This locations parking lot is the absolute WORST!!!! read more

Cheap, good, food and wine, the only downsides...that you can only get 4 apples...if you want 2..no such luck! And the parking lot...ugh!!

The staff at this Trader Joe's is super friendly, very responsive and even though the store is usually very busy I've never had to wait very long. Needless to say I have never had a bad experience inside the store. However the parking lot is insane; I don't know if its because its poorly designed or close to the freeway or too many SUV's or what but I avoid this place at peak hours because of the hassle of the parking lot. Still the stores great, they have a variety of items so you can always find something unique there. Like their blood orange Italian soda, or a mini rosemary Christmas tree. I like their mini pizzas as well, and they have a good selection of cheeses, ready-made items and dips. I usually buy fresh fish there as the prices aren't bad and I can tell the fish is very fresh. Their bottle gift bags are cute and only a $1 a piece which is so much better then Bevmo's, and their cards are attractive and cheap as well. Also a great place to buy nuts or chocolate for holiday baking. And I really enjoy the specialty items at this store and putting them in gift baskets this holiday season. I like to buy a few nice bottles of wine here and gift bags for back up gifts just in case someone gives me an unexpected present. Pleasant but crowded store. read more

Love Trader Joe's selection of food and wine. Can't wait for the opening of their new location in Rose Pavillon.
