This is the Trader Joe's that I come to most frequently, The parking lot can be dangerous and way too crowded at times, but I have always found the staff to be incredibly friendly and helpful. Their crew always seem incredibly cheerful and upbeat. And I can always ask someone to check for greener bananas in the back storeroom. I know they have to deal with a high volume of customers daily, and I appreciate that the floor is always well stocked with all of my favorite Trader Joe's staples. They do get new items every now and then, but I don't think that they are one that gets them first necessarily, which is fine by me as long as they do get the good items eventually! The size is pretty typical, not too big and not too small. Their wine selection seems a bit smaller than other TJ's I've been to, but they still have beer singles which makes me happy. The inside is decorated like all other TJ's with fun kitschy drawings. And the layout is very logical. read more

Trader Joe's - They currently have Easter mini totes! - Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

I went to Trader Joe's with my sister & they just happen to have the small stripe bags everyone has been trying to get. I chose the limit one in each color and a few groceries & I go to S. Taylor's line Till 3. Not happy with the way she treated me especially me being a much older woman than her, I felt she should show me respect. She has the nerve to not even say hello but ask me was this my second time going through her line to purchase bags. Excuse me little girl? You do not have the right to question me like I'm your child. I felt that was very rude & who cares I am sure hundreds of people do this so for her to talk to me like that when I had only been through her line once I felt like she was discriminating against me. I live Trader Joe's & I feel it's pretty diverse in the staff they have but this location did not give me that vibe. Will not visit this location again & if I did not want to get these bags I would have had to school the youngster on how to talk to an adult with respect. read more

Dropped by the other day and it was a quick and easy experience. Parking was available on the street and also available in the rather tight private lot. Carts are available too. The store was tidy and all the cashier were open with cashiers wearing Trader Joe's attire along with a name tag. Some cashiers opted to wear a mask and disposable gloves. Checkout was friendly and quick! read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

I shopped with a friend at the TJs in Cupertino, CA looking for the new small cooler totes. They are so cute and are perfect as lunch bags. Since Hawaii does not have a TJ store I send them to family. First time at the Cupertino store and was delighted to see the bags for sale. Limit was purchase of 1 bag per color . There was a staff member monitoring the supply. I put one of each color on my basket. About to walk away to check out and he approached me. Did you buy bags already. I saw you walk in with someone, your partner? I responded, I did walk in with someone, but am I not able to buy the bags separately? You are assuming our relationship. He backed down and was allowed to purchase the bags. There definitely could have been a different manner to approach me. I am pissed that I followed the rules stated to purchase one bag per color. Moreover, assuming my relationship with the person I walked with into the store. Having the bag police is beneath TJs; the person was rude. What I should have done was taken my basket to the customer service deck and say I won't be purchasing anything today since I was being policed. read more

Overall, I had a good experience at this Trader Joe's. I showed up 5 min before closing to find some items and was able to be in and out before 9PM. The store was clean and well lit. I was able to quickly flag down a worker to get help locating the snack I was looking for. Parking was easy since it's in a shared shopping center. read more

Have been shopping the store for many years. The staffs are always friendly. You can find a lot of things- fresh fruits, delicious cheese, organic basils, English cucumber, etc. aromatic cream, which are always my favorite! read more

If you can avoid the rush hour, this location is the best. The size of the store is small compared to other locations but it has everything. I go to Trader Joe's for unique food items they have and for excellent selection and prices on cheeses and more. Another thing I should mention about their face wash with tea tree oil. read more

I'm here at least once or twice a week. We took the kids here a few weeks ago for a field trip for summer camp. Thank you Vinh & employees for the tour. Their favorite part of the tour was the freezer. Then the goodie bags after the tour. I went today to buy tomatoes, Argentinian red shrimp, garlic olive oil, and fresh basil. The store is clean and bright. Thank you Denise for your help today! read more

I've frequented this TJ for over 10+ years. In general it's been great. Until today 7/4/2025. The cashier who was a bearded gentleman would scan my item and push the items through the table. I have no problem packing/putting the items into the bags I brought. After he finished scanning, he didn't bother to help me nor did he put my bagged contents into the cart. He just walked away while I finished up with bagging. Another cashier (balded gentleman) wasn't even busy behind just stood there and did not even offer to help. My wife was very dumbfounded by the staffs today. I will never go to these two cashiers if I visit this store next time. read more

It is always hard to pass a Trader Joes. It's just too easy to pop in for a few of my favorites. This particular location is totally convenient, the parking lot wasn't too busy even at 5:30 PM on Friday. the store was neat and clean as I expected. Earlier in the day I had. just stocked up on dinner fixings so I was wandering in for those little snacks that fill in the corners. I've posted a photo of each item that I picked up along with a price. The pound plus chocolate bar was a bit of a surprise I don't think I've seen it recently, and I was totally blown away by the price for a pound of chocolate so I had to grab a few. The jar of olives is one of my faves. I like the extra large size since it makes it easy to pop just one for totally mouth filling flavor. the little packages of olives I've never tried before and they look very interesting. I eat so much popcorn that I usually try to buy it from Costco but for some reason Costco hasn't been stocking their usual gallon of popcorn kernels, Trader Joe's to the rescue.. For strange reasons, the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are truly easy to find at Trader Joe's, but not so easy at the other supermarkets. Those two items alone would keep me coming back to Trader Joe's over and over. I tried to spot some staff in the aisles but they were clustered by the checkout. Must have been two staff working each register. Very fast! read more

Love this Trader Joe's. I know exactly where everything is & can grab and go within minutes. While it is on the smaller side, it makes it easy for a quick trip for the bare essentials when in a pinch. I especially appreciate the rotating coloring sheets that my twins are endlessly happy with throughout the year. The cashiers are friendly and strike a short conversation which is especially helpful on the lonesome days I am by myself prepping for the week, reading & studying. The downside- the parking lot. It is the worst. Even tho the risk of a minor fender bender is high is the tight corners, I continue to drop by on a reg basis. read more

I've been to this particular Trader Joe's, a handful of times, and I like the items they have along with a handful of organic things, but I wish you could buy fruits and vegetables that were organic individually instead of 5 pound bags. Lol not everything is that much in the packaging but I just need a couple apples not a whole bag! Lol, other than that the service was great and besides the parking lot and it structure everything else about the service and their options for people with food allergies was very helpful. I wish they had some more products like sprouts does but I did enjoy their friendly environment and brightly colored murals! read more

Somehow I managed to drop a box of blueberries in the store right after checking out. To my chagrin they rolled all over the floor - but the cashier told me not to worry about it, and then another employee came over to me with a fresh pack of blueberries in hand, which was super kind and I did not expect. Thank you, TJs! read more

Was nearby to get chicken and wanted to get the tote bag but it was sold out until 4pm

Salad choices are great pickings at Trader Joe's!! Absolutely love them! Fresh, healthy and delicious Service is always great!

Been coming here for years. Denise has been super cool, and I've known her since I started off my career in a full service salon. Definitely always liked seeing her. This location is also close to home which is also amazing. The parking really sucks, so I've been coming later in the evening so that's worked out. I went in tonight to grab a few things for food, since I got off work late. I just want to shop with anonymity. However, during check out I was super embarrassed. Being anonymous wasn't in the cards for me tonight. Typical me. This was of course bound to happen to me, and it's kind of almost expected... comical in a way. It has nothing to do with Denise. She's amazing as always. However, it did have to do with someone from the check out lane named R. Let's just say we're all adults here. Let's not exacerbate a situation if it wasn't a big deal to begin with. Or even tend to embarrass someone by laughing at them. It didn't need to go there. I won't be returning to this particular location, because I'm way to embarrassed to come here. I didn't need to be laughed/made fun of by R. during checkout. Not going to put R.'s whole name out there, because I don't believe in embarrassing him out in public like he did me. I'll just either go to the Sunnyvale location, or the Prospect location from now on. read more

Trader Joe's - Idk who needs to hear this, buuutt they're selling toilet paper at Trader Joe's. - Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

Like their Covid procedures. Only issue is staff when restocking. Isle is small and tight so you would think two team members restocking would be mindful and move out of the way to allow shoppers access when they come up. Nope!!!! Came up to the frozen isle and both team members look up and see me but continue on. After about 3 minutes I had to say excuse me, social distancing is real before either moved an inch. read more

WOW, Anon A!!! I must say I am not surprised in your Yelp review. Owen showed nothing but empathy. Shame on you for using the racist card. I understand this platform allow the community to express their own personal experiences. I do not take away your feelings. However, blasting and accusing another person on how they handled the situation is contradicting, don't you think? You expressed how you are a woman of color. In case you forgot, let me remind you, the woman in front of you in line that evening is also a woman of color . Also, I am a mother of a 4 year old who was with me that evening. Even after your experience in the store and expressing it to the manager, you continued to wait for me in the parking lot and engaged in psychopath behavior. I will share with the community your choices of behavior for your own reflection, and the community can read both sides. First , you waited for me to place my grocery away in my car. As I back out of my parking spot, you sneak up behind me and drive around to get in front of me. As we both pursue towards the exit, you decide to stay and make me wait. I get it , even though another cashiers reached out to you to ring you out, you and you alone decided to model entitlement towards Owen when he made an observation on my bad orange and wanted me to exchange it for a good one. Since you had to wait, you decided to keep me waiting at the exit parking lot path towards Bollinger Rd . When you noticed other vehicles were trying to exit too, you decided to get out of your car and flip the middle finger at me, then you pursued slowly into Bollinger Road and place my 4 year old child and me in danger by slamming on your brake. I did think of reporting you to the authorities and taking a picture of your license plate, but then I remembered what Owen said when I voiced my opinion. He was not taking any sides, and he saw that both of us were acting inappropriately towards each other. This act of empathy and love towards others is the reminder we all need in this fast-paced world . I apologize if having to change my bad orange inconvenience you into getting on time to yoga class, the gym, your movie night, or wherever you were in such a rush to get to. A word of advice : the next time you can not wait, just pay attention around you, and someone else would have been more than happy to ring you up. Behavior does not define the person, and I hope you can reflect and learn how to act differently next time. Thank you, Owen, for your beautiful smile and your warm welcome every time I shop at my neighborhood, Trader Joe's read more

Perfect Trader's with variety of food and items. Very clean taking care of the customers and sporting a great smile all of the associates. Love going there when in the area to grab my Spanish salami or other European goodies like some type of chocolates, croissants and those olives that come in plastic sachets and are super handy for picnics and hikes (healthy Mediterranean snack!). I also like that retro painted signage clearly indicating that you are in Cupertino, in case you are lost and find a lack of geographical borders, very usual in Silicon Valley! read more

So far this would be my fifth Trader Joe's I have visited (I wonder if there is a Yelp badge for that), and they have never disappointed me. Admittedly sometimes one might be out of the items that I am craving for but usually the next nearest place has that item. All I can say is that the consistency in the product line and the service (and competitive pricing), all I can see is how much I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Trader Joe's - Front - Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

I may be TJ's number one fan, but I have the curse of always living close to one of the smaller stores with not-great inventory. My kids basically live off their fresh chicken nuggets and edamame but they are frequently out of stock. Because the parking lot is usually full or hard to get into, I usually park on the street and walk a little further to avoid the crowded parking lot. Be very aware of expiration dates and produce quality before you purchase. Thank goodness they make it easy to return food that's spoiled before the expiration date. You bring your return items to the customer service counter at the front and then go shop, and when you're ready to check out, the store manager will scan your return items and deduct the cost from your new bill. The TJ's in Sunnyvale and Los Gatos are bigger with better selections, but I still come here often because it's the closest on to me and the workers here are friendly and always give my kids stickers and lollipops for finding the hidden stuff unicorn, and they gave us a beautiful orchid potted flower once too. You can find me stocking up on my favorite staples - honey goat cheese, garlic naan, pork belly, boba coffee ice cream, edamame, chicken nuggets, masala burgers, orange chicken, coconut Greek yogurt, butter chicken, argan oil, hair mask, anything ube, almond butter granola, tri-colored radiatore pasta, creamy tomato basil pasta sauce, dill pickle seasoning, TJ Diamond Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, ok you get the idea - I can't help but love TJ's! Sometimes, this TJ's does happen to carry a selection of the TJ Reserve wines - Diamond Reserve ($19.99), Platinum Reserve ($14.99), Grand Reserve ($12.99), Reserve ($9.99), and Petite Reserve ($7.99). These wines come from private label wineries usually local to the Napa Valley and surrounding areas that are sold under the TJ label at a greatly reduced cost. These are also much better than their Two Buck Chucks (now $3.99). I've hosted blind wine tastings and most people enjoyed the TJ wines better than some higher end wines. It's also fun to try to puzzle out which wine or winery the TJ wine is actually from! Serve some up and surprise your guests at your next soirée! read more

I'm so grateful to have this Trader Joe's so closes to my house. I come here at least once or twice a week. The parking lot can be a little tight at times but the great service makes up for it. The staff here is extremely friendly and helpful. It's a better alternative than Safeway in my opinion. My go-to place to buy cured meats, cheeses, dried fruits, fresh fruits and nuts for my charcuterie boards. Other repeat signature items like their Habanero hot sauce which is always needed in our household, healthy snacks, hummus, dips, chips, cauliflower rice, Carrot juice, Orange juice and not to mention their seasonal salad kits are worth it. I love walking in seeing new seasonal flowers and plants. Everything seems to be well stock and the sample bar in the back is always filled with new snacks and recipes to try. read more

Trader Joe's - Peonies are back!!! - Grocery Near Me - San Jose, California

It's just a grocery, but we can feel comfortable and enjoy seeing and buying this or that things here because it is nicely designed for enjoyable shopping experiences. There're a lot of items in not a so large place. However, they are neatly arranged in shelves. Their hand-written price tags add a happy atmosphere to the store. The prices are inexpensive. We mainly selected their store branded goods. They were very good. The problem is they don't have a large parking lot. Many people are coming and going out in a short time, so there are sometimes very complicated traffic in it. Be careful. read more

One of the better TJ stores I've experienced and the best I've encountered in the area. They did exceptionally well with covid protocols and the staff is always friendly and helpful. During covid they had pop up shade structures and clear marking for social distancing. The check out process was one of the tightest I experienced and they were very diligent with sanitizers. The greeter at the front managed the capacity and offered up sanitizer as patrons entered. In addition the sanitation was performed after every checkout. At first I thought this was a little over the top. I quickly came to appreciate this as I come here every two weeks with my elderly mother. It was reassuring to know that this was as good as it gets for taking the desired precautions for her well being. The store even went to having senior hours that we took advantage of. It was so nice and I really feel like the staff went above and beyond to care for the older folks while they were shopping. My mother has gone from multiple store shopping to having this be her primary store that meets mid her needs. The layout is consistent with most of the other TJ stores and it's easy enough to navigate. They tend to shuffle things around from time to time but if I can't find it the stars is awesome in directing us to where to find the little nuggets that make my mother happy. Thanks to the staff at this store! Your awesome customer service is noticed and greatly appreciated! read more

Just called this morning about a dessert a friend recommended, 'Apple Blossoms'. The salesclerks at both stores willingly checked, saving me time and gas. One wished me a Merry Christmas.

Favorite items here: Valrhona 71pct chocolate bar with the red V - best you can find for the 2.99 price. One of the elite French makers, and French style has more cocoa butter for a smoother and less chalky texture. Amazing taste for such high cacao content. TJ's macadamias from australia....cheaper price ($1/ounce) and still good quality, which is hard to find as macs are usually pretty expensive. In the frozen area, the store brand fish nuggets and red box mac n cheese are family favorites. read more

Trader Joe's has basically everything you need just in smaller quantities compared to other grocery stores. No name brands, everything is Trader Joe's. Well not everything but most items. They have some beer and other things you may recognize. If you are looking for your favorite brand of cereal for instance you won't find it but you will find the Trader Joe version of it. Prices are reasonable especially for most of the produce. A lot of organic options if that is important to you. What's most surprising is the quality of their brand is really good. They have a great balsamic vinaigrette just as a random example. The first time you go here it may be a bit strange if you are used to shopping at Safeway for example. You don't get 20 different brands and sizes of ketchup, just maybe 2 or 3 options. The employees are friendly. They do get busy at times but they try to keep the lines short by opening a lot of registers. I will give them 4 stars for the lack of brands and options in availability but that is their thing I suppose. What they do have is good quality at a reasonable price. Also, no beer cooler, none of the beer is refrigerated. Nobody likes warm beer, well maybe some Europeans may but I want to buy a cold beer. If they had cold beer I might be able to bump them to 5 stars. read more

In general the employees are stellar. I wish the people that I work with were as customer centric. I hate shopping and TJs makes it better than tolerable. By and large their food is healthy by my standards but pricing is getting out of control. 2-Buck-Chuck is now $3.49. read more

Really appreciate all the TJ team members at this location. In this time of uncertainty, we are worried about our health and that of our loved ones. Trader Joe's and it's team members also care. They've taken precautions, letting only about 25 people in at all times, hand sanitizer is provided when you walk in and out, also sanitizing wipes for carts .
