    Clean, organized and excellent customer service. I got a salad and 4 bouquets to gift in the last day of my movie to my actresses. The cashier asked me if I wanted a box to travel better with the flowers, which was an excellent idea. Highly recommend

    10/5/24 Aren't these just darling? I want one! Or two?

    10/5/24 Feels like AUTUMN here, unlike Montclair where it was a whopping 95 degrees today! I love visiting this TJ location, staff are always friendly & helpful, fresh produce & seasonal items are featured. It could get pretty hectic (customers & parking) but we always manage to score a spot. I saw some cute looking Halloween & autumn decor. Gourds were for 0.89, got a few for a project I am planning on tackling (courtesy of craft ideas from Roger's Gardens- will post those if I am successful). Got some dark chocolate sunflower cups, these are super yummy btw. Once it starts to cool down, will bake corn bread from the mix I just purchased. It was a quick pit stop but it was a pleasant visit.

    Trader Joe's Market in Rancho Palos Verdes, California is,as all the Trader Joe's Markets are, keeping it safe for everyone and are constantly providing great fresh foods and beverages. Social distancing,staff masks and gloves,sanitizing shopping carts,the works!

    I think I've been to every Trader Joe's in a 30 mile radius... and that's not a bad thing. One of the classic grocery spots on the hill. Always a good place to pick up interesting snacks, quick frozen meals, and plenty of good bread. They've got a good mix of everything, and it's all held to the standard of the TJ label. If you're reading a review of a Trader Joe's, you're probably looking for reasons not to go. Consider this a PSA to go get good food.

    This Trader Joe's is in one of the safest, best view, and most expensive real estate locations in Southern California. It's in the COVE shopping center that has a Starcrooks and Subwaste that overlooks the Pacific Ocean from high up on a cliff. You won't find a TJ in a better location anywhere. But how they get all this food up that hill from the city I have no idea. Easy large parking lot, friendly employees, and a very well healed customers base. You may feel a bit intimidated driving up here without a luxury automobile, but the folks in Trader Joe's will not ask you about it, so don't worry. Just be ready at checkout to say something like, "Meeting friend's at Trump's (his golf course near by) for dinner later, just picking up some stuff here for the "help," "my Rover is get a tune today," and you'll be fine.

    As the premium offshoot of the Vons supermarket chain, Pavilions first was introduced in 1985 in…read moreGarden Grove, CA, specializing in organic and specialty foods. It followed its parent company, as Vons was acquired first by Safeway in 1997, and then by Albertson's in 2015. Today, there are fewer than 26 locations across SoCal. It uses a similar but separate smartphone app than Von's, though one can use the same login. The flyer and sales are similar. Since my wife, her mom, and I were in the area, we decided to stop in to do a little grocery shopping. I did find their wine and beer selection to be quite good (it has a beautiful open view wine room in the middle of the store, with OK prices. Ended up getting a six pack of Korea's most popular beer (Cass) for $5.55, a beer that isn't easy to find outside of H-Marts. Two other observations: -- Heard 'Carefree Highway' by Gordon Lightfoot playing over the intercom...I've never heard a song by Gordo at any grocery store before. Definitely indicates the type of clientele this store in Palos Verdes attracts. -- there is an official Pokemoncenter vending machine in the store, selling product at retail price. It is not listed on the tracking sites, so thinking it's relatively new. Of course, it displayed all items as being sold, once I was able to get close (after the young lurkers had left).

What used to be a sizable amount of fish for a not-skimpy price has since been scaled back by more than half, despite the price staying the same. The sushi barely covers the rice and it is barely big enough to consider as an appetizer. It's almost comical. I like the store otherwise.

The snack selections are some of the most interesting and tasty you can find. People working are charismatic and social. I've seen a lot of people complain that shopping here can be stressful or hectic but I've never felt that way, I always fee ecstatic and excited while inside as there's so much cool products to look through and you get to share that feeling with all the customers around you! Plus they try to make shopping fun for even your KIDS with the scavenger hunt for their mascot! It's cute they have different animals for every locations and it truly helps tired parents to give their kids something to do while shopping, another complaint is that it's more of an ingredients/ snack store (which you make meals out of ingredients....) I beg to differ because there is such a wide variety of meats and proteins, sides, veggies, etc. etc etc. they even have some of the tastiest frozen meals you can find and if you don't like something they have such a nice store policy to return even OPENED food. They give samples out and their meat is always more tender than my local supermarket. I really love Trader Joe's and it's one of my favorite places to shop around San Pedro and all around.

The second lady said the same thing - they were short staffed - but didn't offer to do anything and had an "oh well" attitude. I've now wasted gas and two trips to the deli that's supposed to be OPEN UNTIL 8PM like the signage says.
