Can't go wrong with Trader Joe's. Had to stop by for some groceries and snacks and some flowers for the cemetery. Pretty busy spot so it does have parking issues. read more

$12.99 for a dozen roses for Mother's Day! Woohoo. Good variety of colors to choose from. The floral section is EXPANDED just for this special holiday weekend cashiers are friendly Parking lot is not my favorite here. Everyone wants to be here. It's a hot mess getting in or out so I prefer to park farther away and walk there. Not gonna deal with that read more

This Trader Joe's is convenient because it's right next to a Costco. But the parking is horrible. The lot is tiny and the street parking nearby is usually full. They are decently stocked on items but if you go after work it may be tough to get popular items. Customer service is decent depending on who you get. read more

i went to the store because that is only closer to my address and I asked the lady who was working there in the store that when can I buy the trader Joe bag the big one and the lady pointed out to the white bag which I dont want it and I said the one which has pink blue strip and the lady said "oh that will come next year". Mind you she didn't mention that new stock with new theme will come end of this month , which I came to know from my coworkers that new theme will come end of this month. Please educate your worker that to provide other options like about new them bags coming in. What a lazy agent she is. read more

Labor Day weekend is now over and a few weeks of Summer left but if you are in San Francisco, Summer weather is just beginning somewhere in September with no official start date and without warning . There are lots of people who have traveled by plane in and out of San Francisco during Labor Day weekend. Some tourist are still confused when they come to the San Francisco Airport and hop on BART and they will exit South San Francisco BART station thinking because it's South San Francisco it's Downtown the South of San Francisco .One person had told me they ended up at a Trader Joe's a block away between the South San Francisco BART station and the Costco thinking it was San Francisco. The visitor was happy to see the Hawaiian shirts at Trader Joe's although there is no Trader Joe's in Hawaii. The Trader Joe's is the smallest Trader Joe's I been to because even the smallest Trader Joe's in San Francisco was twice the size. Walking through this Trader Joe's within minutes I did see some familiar items that are consistent among all the Trader Joe's. The theme of this Trader Joe's was aviation since the SFO Airport is near. They had a descent produce section along with a good section with bottles of alcohol. Their freezer aisle had good ice cream selection with mini ice cream vanilla cones along with Ube mochi and French Vanilla ice cream. One of my favorite items is the Spice Pumpkin mini sheet cake which was available for sale here. This is a good alternative in the area if Costco is closed like it was on Labor Day. The Oakland Airport just renamed their airport to the " Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport". More mass confusion ahead. All kinds of drinks and food are for "sale" at Trader Joe's grocery store which "retail" everything from Trader Joe's "Organic Mayo" to a case of "Whiskey cocktail" Get updates about new Trader Joe's products by "email " and with the Fearless Flyer which provides more "detail" about foods like the Egg Bites Cheese, Spinach & "Kale" and you don't need a membership card to enter Trader Joe's like next door at the Costco "Wholesale" read more

This is my favorite Trader Joe's location to go to. The staff are amazing. Particularly a young lady named Julia has absolutely amazing customer service she goes above and beyond every time I come to this location and she helps me out with anything I need. I was just here yesterday purchasing a simple small item and she was checking me out at the cashier station. She simply greeted me and said that she had remember me from the last time which I thought was very unique and very thoughtful. She honestly deserves to be a manager. I hope that this company promotes her to become a manager she has the skill set for a management position. Thank you, Julia for always going above and beyond your hard work never goes unnoticed. read more

I am very dissatisfied with Trader Joe's in South San Francisco. Every time I make a purchase, the store charges me for two paper bags without my consent. Although they do ask if I need a paper bag, they should specifically ask customers if they need two bags. Moreover, it's unnecessary--one bag is enough, especially since I just put the items in the car and don't carry heavy things around. I also shop at Trader Joe's in Millbrae. Not only does that store never charge me for paper bags, but its food is fresher, and it is cleaner and tidier than the South San Francisco branch. That's why I'm quite unhappy with the South San Francisco branch. Since I live in San Bruno, I will only shop at the Millbrae branch from now on. 说明 read more

Love all Trader Joe's markets, and this one is no exception,but the handicapped parking is in an awful location, as you can never get into or out of the spots, so I usually am forced to park else where. I like that they do have carts for me to drive in the store and it makes my shopping much easier. They are usually well stocked and I like the cleanliness of this location. read more

Love love love Trader Joe's! You can always find the freshest food and snacks, their cheesy bread is out of this world. Even their frozen dinners are so yummy. This review is for Jacob and Leo who both so kindly checked me out. They were both so kind and gave exceptional service. They were showing my little one so much love and gave him some cute fall stickers. read more

Love this store. I usually shop @ Costco (next door) with the large items then to TJ's. I love all their salad kits, the sandwich meats, cards, especially their seasonal Ube Mochi pancake mix. Etc. I love all TJ stores & all their surprised mini canvas bags & insulated bags... I only wished there will be one in Pacifica, CA... read more

Same Trader Joe's energy. Slightly more Mad Max in the parking lot. Once you're inside, it's the Trader Joe's you know and love--organized, upbeat, and full of snacks you didn't plan to buy but definitely will, and that frozen orange chicken everyone secretly loves. Outside? Well... buckle up. The parking lot is a full-contact sport. Cars trying to get in block the street. Cars trying to get out block each other. People go the wrong way around the loop like they've entered a Mario Kart bonus level. Honking happens. Feelings are felt. If you can walk here, do it. If not--may the parking gods be with you. Either way, once you're inside, it's the Trader Joe's we all know and (mostly) love. read more

The Costomer service here is just amazing. I saw a lady coming to the cashier with box of cranberries that was not fully full. The person in the cashier right away ring the bell and ask one of the other guys to bring him a new box that full since all of them are the same price. read more

My father was trying to buy groceries, he is a hispanic man. While standing in line one of the cashier's said something he can't recall but it was in english. Then, a customer in line with him said "welcome to america" and another women in line said "yeah we have to deal with this". This behavior is absolutely disgusting, and he was only there to shop for items to cook for tomorrow. It is absolutely astonishing to me how nobody defended him, or told the rude customers to leave. read more

I have been to several Trader Joe's in the City Of San Francisco & Somer Other locations out of San Francisco like Daly City & Millbrae!!!!

This is my usual Trader Joe's and I really like it here. The cashiers are very nice, especially one man who talked well. I love all the food and snacks, could never go wrong. The complains I have about this place is the bathroom and parking lot. The bathroom smells like piss and it's sad because the other trader joe's down in Westlake is the same. If I was locked in there for 5 minutes you'd see me passed out probably. The parking lot is really small and really cramped, I'm surprised I haven't seen an accident yet. Even on days that aren't that busy, it still makes my heartbeat go up probably 70 bpm. read more

It takes a lot of effort to even go to this extent to create a Yelp account to make a complaint. However today was the day that really ticked my wife and I off. I'm extremely disappointed with the service my wife and I received during our visit. The worker who assisted us was shockingly rude from the moment we approached. Their tone was dismissive, unprofessional, and made us feel completely unwelcome. Whether intentional or not, it was unacceptable and left us both feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. No customer should have to experience that. I sincerely hope management takes this seriously and provides proper training so no one else has to go through this. Cashier's name tag said Karen, this individual had on glasses. Had this encounter this morning roughly before 10am 12/07/25. read more

My favorite store across the bay! The staff are so kind and friendly, even if that's their job (customer service) I truly think they're always genuinely kind. The selection of foods and snacks are always stocked, and if it isn't they usually restock fairly quick. The store itself is very clean inside, however the parking situation is hectic; but it's all worth it in the end. I haven't had one single bad experience here and highly recommend people come to this location. It's a hot spot on weekdays especially after school hours, so I recommend coming during the weekdays during morning/early afternoon hours for ample parking and it's less crowded. read more

The new renovations have moved the raw meats to the entrance at the parking lot which was all fresh produce. Now, where you once were greeted by the beauty and aromas of fresh fruits and vegetables, you find a row of slaughtered animals. AND this is right next to the unrefrigerated bulk produce. Gross! Why would you put raw meat anywhere near fresh produce? The new layout is totally incohesive and has separated the refrigerated produce to the back of the store. This new layout is totally disrespectful to those who don't eat dead animals. I cant think of any grocery store or market that has RAW meat next to fruits and veggies. Gross! Dumb! Inconsiderate! Ew!!!! read more

Love this neighborhood store. I save time prepping and cooking with their pre-chopped items. They have high turnover of fresh produces. And a good selection of grass fed and no hormone and no antibiotics meat. On a lazy night I just pick up their premade food. Like many others have said, the staff who work there are courteous and I've never encountered any bad customer service. read more

Doesn't matter how busy it is, the cashiers always prioritize chatting it up with the customer. I get building a good relationship but you see a long line and just shrug it off? Crazy read more

My interaction with a management team member this morning was an eye opener. I have heard from other customers who have had unpleasant interaction with management at this location. I have reserved judgment since I have not had to deal with management recently. I have been loyal customer for 15 years, previously in Oakland and now in SSF. This morning my experience with one of the management staff was soooo unpleasant. He was dismissive and flippant in his response to the issue I raised. Working in retail requires patience and courtesy when dealing with your customer, customers are not always right but people who spend their money at your establishment should l be treated with common courtesy. read more

Have been a loyal customer for 15 years. Checkput staff has always be fabulous. Today, had a really unpleasant interaction with some one I assume is part of management, Eddy. Read the room, customers are already irritated at having to wait in line for the new bags, I didn't need to be told I couldn't buy a bag with my groceries, when I asked if I could buy the bags with my groceries " you need to decide , do you want groceries or do you want bags, which is more important?" Uh gee, I dont know , do I want to eat do I want bags, what do you think, Eddy? I get that you have been dealing with this chaotic bag situation that your company has created, but dude, it's your job, you should have prepared. Artificial shortages is not what a " neighborhood store" does. Shame on you Trader Joe's. read more

Very convenient grocery stop from the Bart Station!! From South San Francisco station it's a 5-7mins walk. Organize, clean and of course the team here is friendly & helpful with their customers. You can easily stop by here and pick up your grocery essentials, easy meals to prepare when you exit out of South SF Bart station. There's even a security at the store, calm, no homeless people lingering around and the restrooms are clean. Lots of free parking available. read more

I love this Trader Joe's. They have an eye for product placement that makes things stand out (compared to the store I usually go to). For example, I noticed the Chocolate Bundt Cake they sold in November because they had it displayed in a separate small freezer case (the kind with the sliding glass cover on top). Was totally oblivious to this seasonal cake at my home store until I saw it highlighted at the SSF location. I also like the open design of their wine dept, making it easier to see what is displayed. They pack in a lot for a small space. The people who work here are friendly as any other Trader Joe's store. And I have never had to wait very long to check out. The only downside is the location. There is only one driveway leading into a very small parking lot and it is very easy to get stuck. Their parking lot is a tiny one-way loop that has always sucked balls. Who designed this lot? Cars driving out, waiting for a chance to turn onto the street, end up blocking cars that want to get in or out of the parking spots along that aisle. Narrow paths/turns, and tight parking spots. I absolutely hate driving into this parking lot. And there really isn't much street parking outside of the lot. read more

So this is a Trader Joe's. Pretty much like every other one I've ever been to. Although the store is a little smaller and laid out differently than the one we usually go to in Morgan Hill. The main issue with this store is the parking. Whomever thought that a tiny ass parking lot would be sufficient for this store is a moron! It's a pain just to get into the parking lot because there is a street light righ at the entrance and the lane to enter is so small that cars get backed up just trying to get in and out. Also the spots themselves are tiny so the first time I tried to find a spot, I passed up the 2 or 3 spots that were available because I just knew I would have gotten a door ding if I had parked there. I left and circled the block to see if any street spots were available and of course they weren't. I fought my way back into the TJ's lot a second time and this time there were NO spots available! This was mid-morning on a Thursday by the way, not on a weekend which I assume is even busier. What I ended up doing was driving next door to the Costco and parking there and walking to TJ's. I saw quite a few other people doing the same thing. So if you're going to shop here, parking at Costco is the move. Don't even bother trying to park in the TJ's lot. read more

I was surprised that Trader Joe's doesn't take back their cans or bottles that they sell in South San Francisco. Daniel, the one who was working the counter said that normally they have signs posted at the stores if they take cans or not but at the store they just don't have a sign up and they don't take it , end of story. I guess I was surprised since Trader Joe's in Manhattan and Brooklyn takes it back. Customer Service said that it doesn't benefit them to recycle or they don't have a space even though they have a parking. Also , customer service person said they had no clue about the signs and said that none of the locations in California takes back the cans/bottles . read more

Trader Joe's the Original Organic farmers market I remember when this place was being built as if it was yesterday . soon as you walk in I noticed neatly their alcohol section and they have one row of freezer items. Tons of people so if your looking for a particular item just ask and anyone would be happy to assist. Come for their organic produce and their different selections that big grocery's chains don't have. I remember going to whole food for salsa and chips and paid 20 for something that's probably less healthier than Trader Joe's This place has always been for the people and they don't price gouge fair prices for top produce Their customer service is super professional and David rang me up. Dude was so friendly he even gave me a tip on which appetizer to try next which is defentily very helpful I got 3 appetizers for under $10 read more

Being a member at gym down the street, this location has become for my go-to supermarket. Always reliable, amazing customer service, and the mix is pre-made food and easy to cook foods make this perfect place to shop. A couple of things I'm loving right now. I've been making my way through their burritos, and what I've determined is that The cheeseburger burrito is hella good. I don't know why but this one hits the spot. Pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes, and it comes out perfect. Dip it in some of the TJs magnificent sauce and you got yourself a meal. The jerk chicken one is pretty good to, although I wish it had more in it. The Chile verde was pretty mid though. Another quick meal is the canned lightly smoked salmon (pink can). I mix this up with mayo and sriracha, and sticky rice plus seaweed, it makes for good DIY sushi bites. This meal takes no work, and is pretty darn tasty. I used to love the truffle potato chips, but the last few bags have been way below mid. Either the chips are burnt or stale, dunno what's going on there but it's made me hesitant to buy them. The alternative right now is the Carolina bbq ridge chips, these are pretty good. Would go great with an onion or ranch dip. The condiment section in all TJs is top notch. The crunchy habaneros are my favorite and a great mix in, in rice. The jalapeño/lime crunch is ok, but too much lime, not enough jalapeño. Overall, love TJs, love the innovation and will probably be back tomorrow for more burritos read more

I always go a little crazy in the frozen food section when I come to Trader Joe's - they have options not typically found at your other mainstream grocery retailers so I like to stock up and try new things. It's not a very big store so I can't always find everything that I need if I'm trying to make a big grocery trip but they have most things at a very competitive price. They also have a good wine selection with offerings I typically don't see anywhere else. Lastly, the staff is always super friendly and customer-oriented - coming to TJ's is always a good experience. read more

Courteous staff, well stocked shelves for the most part, safe practices in place amid Covid-19 with frequent cleaning of carts and hand santizing pumps + antibacterial wipes at the store entrance. Parking in their little free lot can be hit or miss, usually a miss for me. Metered parking along the street is an alternative. Centrally located in SSF - Walking distance to/from BART, adjacent to Costco, and across the street from Starbucks. Make a Bee line for the New Item Shelf to check out all the latest arrivals that are also highlighted in the Fearless Flyer! Also, don't sleep on TJ's live plants - I'd take them all home if I could :D read more

This place is amazing. The staff here is nice and smart and knowledgeable of where items are. I came here to purchase Flax Seed for my mom. She can't live without flax seed. I would purchase 4-8 bags at a time. I love all the frozen food. Esp the burritos. $3 for 2 hearty burritos! You can't beat that!! I'm always tempted to buy more and more but my fridge can only hold so much stuff. I wish my house was just full of fridges and freezers. Love their organic chicken nugget. Trader Joe's brand prosciutto & onion chive cream cheese. The mini ice cream cones, my niece and nephew devours!! Their Turkey apple sandwiches. Their location is so SQUEAKY CLEAN! I hear my sneakers 'squeak' when I walk, just taking small steps can cause that cuz it makes it sound like I farted. read more

Thank goodness for this location! I guess this review is long overdue! Been living in SSF for over 20 years, but this Trader Joe's was built a few years after I moved into the neighborhood. I can't live without Trader Joe's! They've got lots of healthy great snacks, frozen foods, fresh produce, nice cheeses, dry goods, wine, beer, orchid plants/cut flowers...etc! Honestly, you can't go wrong here. It's one of my favorite stores to shop. During this pandemic, they are taking precautions to make sure everything is sanitized. They spray down your cart for you before you enter the store and they have antibacterial wipes as well. Most of the time, the wait is short. I think the longest I've waited is about 20 minutes. Some days, I am able to walk right in! Despite this pandemic, this is one of the few things I still can enjoy...shopping at Trader Joe's! Keep up the good work, Trader Joe's staff! And thank you for making our lives still worth living by providing a nice store stocked with great food! read more
