So cute! Much cuter than the one on sunset blvd in LA actually, but anyways. Friendly staff, various choices in unique food items some that are just specifically for trader joes. Most importantly healthy organic kind of item but affordable unlike whole foods. Good location and parking but can get crazy during rush hour times. Try their beauty products (seriously) like the cocoa butter, the toner, shampoo, deodorant. You'd be surprised!!! Cheap and awesome. Try their coconut oil instead of using butter, coconut oil spray, chocolate clusters, chais and croissant/pain au chocolat. My only con is their already made salad choices is little. Where's the Greek salad at? Lol read more

It helps that any TJ's in the states has the same layout and good TJ's items. It is also very plesant to visit outside New York City stores, not so crowded. I actually have a time to read the ingredients at the store and not at home. Cashier lines, normally tow lines, are always long as to the entrance in NYC but not here, very nice! My favorites are dangerously adductive Crunchy Cookie Butter. It is great on a toast or with thinly sliced granny apple. Next is non-alcoholic German beer, Gerstel, best priced Extra Large Organic Cage-free eggs, and carton of organic milk ($3.29) and goat milk. I also like Uncured Apple Bacon ($3.99! half price of any stores in NYC) and if they have smoky flavored and thick cut Uncured Black Forest Bacon, must try. Oh! My hubby loves their new coffee, Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate. Don't forget it's concentrated. It's very strong if you drink it straight. My hubby mixed with hot water, 1:3(water or milk). There are so much more but I can't think but do stop by if you haven't yet and try a anything and everything especially TJ's brands. You will be surprised of its good ingredients and taste. read more

I love Trader Joe's! I was so used to shopping at the big 2 story one in Washington's DC, so this one is a lot smaller by those standards. However, it has all of the staples that I'm looking for. My crowd favorites are the mini peanut butter cups (the perfect ratio of peanut butter to chocolate, very important), the almond champagne (~$6) which is perfect for a dessert pairing or when you're feeling a sweet but not too sweet bubbly wine and the elote corn chips, which I never have any of left when I bring to a party. We also always pick up fun finds that we end up loving, like the prosciutto flatbread from the freezer section ($4) or the ice cream Bon bons. I also love their seasonal selections, like the summer juices or the winter giant champagnes, gingerbreads and cat calendars (cat treat advent calendars- so cute!!). The freezer section is also a great and affordable place to pick up single freezer meals like lightened up Mac and cheese or bulgogi rice bowls. All of the freezer lunch meals I've had have been great and are around $2-4 a piece which is better than I would fare doing takeout or getting lunch out somewhere. read more

The hospitality is 10/10. I've never met someone who works there that doesn't go out of their way to help. Everything is efficient and constantly being restocked. read more

First visit, Saturday evening, trader Joe's coffee samples offered (& good), browsed the store spacious wide aisles (about 5 aisles of product). Noticed produce is priced by piece rather than weight, something different for Tallahassee ... We needed decaf coffee beans so decided to get them here, a good basic item to gauge the quality. Beans were listed at $5.99 on the shelf (13 oz) - what a deal! People were swarming their wine wall, so we joined in & decided to get a bottle of cheap merlot. At the register the coffee rang up $2 more than the listed price. Price was adjusted by the friendly cashier. I may give more stars if the wine is decent, but this coffee is crap. read more

Pretty nice Trader Joe's and it seems slightly bigger than the other ones I have been to. The variety also seems to be a bit greater here than the other locations. Anyway, onto the review. Trader Joe's is a really good spot for picking up fresh produce at not-so-expensive prices. There are a ton of vegan and vegetarian options at TJ's, which is part of its mass appeal. Trader Joe's is also famous for its cookie butter. This particular location has all sorts of cookie butter goodness all over the store. There are cookie butter cheesecake bites! TJ's is a great spot to get flowers, too. They're usually really pretty and not as expensive as they would be elsewhere. Really good grocery store, just sad I can't buy everything there. Still have to go to Publix when I need certain items. But, TJ's is a great addition to the Tallahassee grocery scene! read more

Bottom line: Trader Joe's is the indisputable winner at selling organic produce and products for affordable prices. In the nearly three year here, I'm seeing a strong (and well deserved) cult-like following for Trader Joe's #763 here in Tallahassee. I'm convinced that Trader Joe's places enormous importance on hiring "the right employee". Everyone at this Trader Joe's - and any others I've been to has been very outgoing, effervescent even. They are "look you in the eye" charming and very friendly and accommodating. They are believers. It's almost as though customers come to shop because it's where their friends work. Trader Joe's REALLY is as good as it gets. Yes, it's a chain - but you can't summon this purchasing power without being a national powerhouse - and Trader Joe's is JUST that! For me, the big strengths at TJ's are the cheese selection, the italian fruit sodas, the Ginger Snaps (there is no better cookie out there - that's a fact), the Naan (shipped in from India), the tomatoes (shipped from Holland (I know!)), three-buck chuck wine bottles are steals at three times the prices, and on and on and on. The pre-fab meals themselves are fantastic. I'm going to stop now, since I'm starting to look like some sort of Trader Joe's marketing plant (ha - which is funny - Trader Joe's pretty much advertises by word of mouth!) I'll leave you with this: There's a plastic lobster hidden in the store. have you found it? read more

Trader Joe's - This'll do for now... - Grocery Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

Somehow, I had never been to a Trader Joe's before - and obviously waited too long to visit this one, despite it being under 5 miles from my house. Glad I finally made it there. While I was prepped a bit as to what to expect, it didn't fully hit me until I visited the store. There is a lot of unique and specialty items, and the prices are fantastic. While I won't knock it for personal convenience, I really don't see how this could ever be a main stop for groceries - and to be honest, why stop here unless there is something you really needed that is specific to Trader Joe's? I thought the various items were great, and as stated before, unique. The store was laid out very well and the presentation was clean and organized. So my assumed lack of usefulness (this may change after a few more visits) for this store isn't a reason to ding it in stars. read more

There is a great diverse selection of wine at Trader Joe's and the staff is very polite. I would give the store 5 stars if they paid more attention to the expiration dates on some of their produce, including grape tomatoes, of which most of them were expired last time I went there looking to buy them. read more

One of the smaller Trader Joe's, but the best one around. Frozen section is a little underwhelming. TJ staff is always polite.

Great store to shop for my weekly groceries. Nice employees, cool coffee tasting bar, great prices and good healthy atmosphere. The produce is fresh and crisp. The frozen vegetables aren't freezer burnt. Great place! I enjoy shopping here. read more

Trader Joe's is unparalleled for certain and specific grocery items. What to buy: WINE WINE and more WINE. Crackers (everything crackers, you're welcome). Cheese (hello cheap brie). Frozen dinner items (cauliflower pizza crust- so good). Applewood Smoked Bacon. Snacky items (trail mix, little boxes of chocolate). Everything Bagel Seasoning. Flowers (WAY better than Publix, cheaper than Whole Foods or Fresh Market). What to not buy here: Meat. Produce. The staff is incredible. Friendly, easy to talk to, kind, helpful, and just amazing. They have a great return policy. read more

While Publix will always hold a special place in my heart, I can confidently say that Trader Joe's is my new go to grocery store thanks to their great selection of health foods all at a competitive low price. I decided to go shopping at Trader Joe's a few days ago after not visiting for quite some time and was able to keep my groceries below $100 while buying everything I needed for the next week and a half. Just like Publix, Trader Joe's has their own brand which is much cheaper than the name brands they also offer which is always a plus. The best aspect of Trader Joe's compared to Publix or a similar grocery store is its relatively small size which makes it so quick and easy to navigate! I always disliked having to walk down 12+ aisles to complete my shopping list. This Trader Joe's specifically has 3 aisles which allows me to finish shopping in less than half the time! I'll be doing all my shopping at Trader Hoes for te foreseeable future. P.S. For you budget wine drinkers like me, a case of Trader Joe's Brand wine (Charles Shaw) is only $35.99!! Cheers! read more

This place always has what you need, want, and desire as it pertains to food! On this occasion I went in specifically for bulgogi. Oh my yummmmm!! read more

Trader Joe's is one of my favorite stores and the one here in Tallahassee is good! When I went shopping I had my one month old baby with me and I got a lot of stuff. The cashier hit the bell and had someone walk me to my car and put all of my bags out a box of water in my car. I was so surprised because I never had that done before and I thought that was so sweet of the cashier. If this store wasn't on the other side of town, I'd come more often but I hope all of their cashiers are as nice as the one I had. read more

Thank you Tallahassee for having a Trader Joe's. On our 5,000 mile road trip, we have mapped out all of the T.J.'s along our route... Yeah, we are that serious about TJ, and Tallahassee was a pin on our map to stock up on our go-to items. While most Trader Joe's are pretty much the same, we noticed this one was very uncrowded. Guessing it may be new to Tallahassee, and hasn't fully caught on yet? So if you are from Tallahassee and are wondering about this place, take it from a Californian that lives in Florida now: GO HERE and you will be hooked! It is like The Whole Foods Market that won't make you go broke.... And they are always serving up coffee and a snack in the back. read more

My daughter and I stopped in while in Tallahassee for our Ida hurrication. The first thing I noticed was how much more spacious this location was than mine back home. Ours is so tight and I feel anxious when it's peak shopping time. This one was very easy to maneuver and I felt relaxed spending my time browsing. The staff here were so helpful too. Anytime a staffer heard me and my daughter discussing a product, they would chime in with suggestions. I found that very helpful. I'm so grateful for the staff in the freezer section who heard us wondering aloud about the mochi ice cream. She encouraged us to get it and it was a hit. When I was checking out, the cashier noticed I was evacuating from Louisiana and gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers to brighten my day. It was really kind of her considering the stress I was feeling not being able to get in touch with family members who stayed behind. Variety, customer service, location and store layout all get five stars from me! read more

I love Trader Joe's. And this location is no different! I come from the east coast where they're much busier and I appreciate the low level crowding here! Even when I think it's going to be bad, it's never too crowded. I haven't quite figured out the best days to get the fresh produce here - sometimes it's a miss and it's picked over and things are starting to go bad. But they have the typical TJ's products. I love the seasonal items. I also go here specifically for the pre-made items. I'm very into the Asian food like the shu mai, dumplings, and mochi. The wine and beer selection is good too! Affordable, unique brands. I tried Liberté Pinot noir recently and it's good. read more

Trader Joe's is one of my all-time favorite stores and was a life-saver while I was recently visiting Tallahassee! I have some recently diagnosed food allergies, and Trader Joe's is one of the easiest places for me to shop. This is a very large store location compared to other Trader Joe's that I've lived near in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. I also took my time to gaze wistfully at the wine selection as the Pennsylvania stores cannot legally carry wine in the state! Since I know that Trader Joe's is new for Tallahassee, here is my (long) list of recommended foods. I promise that they are all incredible! BREAD -- Tuscan Pane, Asiago Peppercorn, Challah, Naan DELI MEATS -- Applegate Smoked Turkey and Roast Beef, Rosemary Ham CHEESE -- Smoked Gouda, Chocolate Cheddar, Chevre Goat, Blueberry Vanilla Chevre Goat CHIPS -- Cheese Puffs, Cheese Crunchies, Pita, Cinnamon Sugar Pita, Sweet Potato Tortilla FROZEN FOODS -- Chicken Fried Rice, Fettuccine Alfredo, Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Tikka Masala, Mandarin Orange Chicken DESSERTS -- Organic Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar, Organic Milk Chocolate Truffle Bar, Organic Dark Chocolate with Raisins & Pecans, Speculoos Cookie Butter, Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl read more

Wow! It was like the holidays at checkout-reminded me of Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping. It was a little bit after 3pm on Saturday and the store was mobbed! I wonder if it was the mad rush for buying flowers for Valentine's or the cold air outside that drove the crowds in to shop at the same time? Flower selection is good here, and the prices are too! Love their orchid selections here. The roses were flying off the shelf - can't beat the $12 for a dozen price, I guess. Got my usual stuff-milk, yogurt and my all-time favorite - the Japanese fried rice. It's my go-to rice when I'm in a pinch. It has carrots and edamame, good enough for a stand alone meal or to go with any main entree. Also got a good deal on the navel oranges at 79 cents a piece. Happy to shop here for fruit and veggies too. I also get my olive oil here. Reasonable prices and despite the long checkout lines, today's shopping experience was good. read more

Trader Joe's - Flowers - Grocery Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I don't know what to say about Trader Joe's that hasn't already been said. As many have already mentioned, their prices just can't be beat and they're easier on the conscience then some big box alternatives (starts with W and ends with mart). They don't carry too many brands that aren't theirs but when they do, it's a treat. For example, they carry Applegate Farm lunch meat at 4 plus change a pack which is at least a dollar cheaper than other places around town. *This is where I'll insert my gratuitous plug for this brand* Highly recommended if you're a fan of turkey or ham sandwiches, that you try this option (antibiotics free, gluten free, casein free, organic). My go to when I shop here is the frozen food aisle which is full of their own brand convenience meals which are surprisingly good. Also, their wine section is a must when wining and dining a group. Friendly staff, fresh produce, and good food. That's just Trader Joes for you. read more

Very friendly, energetic staff, with an excellent selection of cheese, produce, frozen sides, and super cheap wine. Lot's of organic product which helps make the consumer feel great about their purchases. For a cart full (4 med-full bags), we bring a cooler, drive in from out of town, and get in, get down, and get out for around $100 every couple of months. A plus for the ladies (I know my wife loves it) is the TJ Maxx next door to complete your bargain shopping experience. Very engaged employees = repeat customers. Thanks mates! read more

I've been shopping there for over a year. When the Plannedemic hit we were told to wear masks. I have a medical exemption so I'm unable to wear a mask. My husband can't wear one either. We have not worn a mask since this started because they accommodated us. Today we went to our store and we were told that only 1 of us could enter the store at a time. Why? They told me that there's a new strain out. If employees and customers are wearing masks, and they work, then what's the problem. I went shopping by myself not to cause problems. I bought a case of wine which was heavy any the employee right next to me saw me struggling, but ignored me. After I finished shopping, I went to check out and the cashier wouldn't take me. Many of the employees are very rude to both of us. No other stores that we shop in hassle us. I got extra groceries so I won't have to shop there for a while in order to avoid the BS. read more

I love Trader Joe's as much as the next person....however, because I shop there so much, I have discovered that not all products there are created equal. Some- nay most- are exceptional in quality and price (i.e., frozen mushroom risotto (made in Italy), dijon mustard, Belgium endive, Apple Blossoms (yum!), cheese selection, wine selection and many other products. But occasionally, we come upon a dud such as any of the dried tortellini products, the frozen Sukiyaki dinner- which though rather pricey, delivers only a sweet, bland combination of meat and veggies which is lacking big-time in vegetables, and though the package says it feeds 4, it hardly fed 2!! \Anyway, because I love the store, I keep trying new things! I just wish there were never any disappointments! read more

Really love the brand and some of the unique offerings like the Trader Joe's seltzer water and kefir. I'm not sure how Trader Joe's is able to offer the variety of foods here for less than other health food stores, but I suppose it's just not for me to worry about now is it? I also love the Trader Joe's reusable bags because they are cute And unique to Florida. I was especially happy to find the sprouted grain bread. The Ezekiel bread is not kept in the frozen section here which surprised me because I've never seen it stored this way. Not sure why Trader Joe's can store it on the shelf and other stores cannot? I'm not sure if having unfrozen Ezekiel bread would make it any softer however. I was a little disappointed that some of the high-fiber bread we bought went bad within a couple of days. read more

Trader Joe's is by far one of my favorite stores ; and of the ones I have been to this is probably my favorite location. It is very clean, the crew is superb, the store Captain is always friendly and quick to help. The selection of items is fantastic if you are a celiac. My only complaint is this location is quite small. If it were a larger TJs I would certainly give it that 5th star. read more

GIVE IT A TRY: YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOSE! I am oddly obsessed with Trader Joe's bananas because no matter when I go into the store and purchase them, they are always perfect. I ran in today to grab some snacks for the road. You can always find the perfect snack here including fruits, nuts, healthier chips and snack bars. Regardless of how you choose to eat, you can easily find something enjoyable at Trader Joe's. Check out their frozen side dishes and entrees (especially the risotto). They have great prices on coconut oil and coconut milk which I love to use to make curry. For those on the naughty list, I recommend the organic bacon and the English toffee. ***If you are going to be doing a significant amount of shopping here, I suggest that you bring your own bags because their bags are made of paper and cannot support a lot of weight. ***As usual, customer service was great! read more

Dear Joe, Pensacola needs to make your acquaintance. SOON. We are awash in Walmarts, Publix and Sam's...but we need YOU Joe! We need healthy, wholesome and fairly priced food choices. The Panhandle awaits, Joe...please bring Cookie Butter to the masses. read more

I have a lot of dietary restrictions due to chronic migraines. This is the only place I can shop with NO PRESERVATIVES, no nitrates or MSG, no sulfur in anything in the store and also has amazing prices. The frozen meals and prepared salads are so delicious and save so much time and $ since it keeps me from blowing all my cash on restaurants and potentially triggering a migraine because there's something funny in the food. My favs are FROZEN: veggie gyoza(potstickers) Tarte w mushrooms, farfalle w spinach, birds nests MEALS: BBQ brisket, chicken potpie and chicken picata SALADS:Kale + broc slaw, fields greens w couscous DESSERTS: Flourless choc cake and frozen Karat cake Oh, the cold almond milk in the blue carton and no nitrate precooked bacon for 5$! read more

What's not to love? I'm going to start out with the customer service, because it's the best on the dang planet. To say we're regulars would be an understatement. Many weeks, we go almost every day. Their employees are just about my son's favorite people in the universe, so it's usually a fun experience for us, more than just having a shop. I love getting to try new things that they sample, and some of our favorite dishes from them are things we never would've thought to try. Their private label foods are mostly pretty high quality, and they have a superb return policy - you don't like it, return it, no questions asked. I think that encourages folks to try new things. It has been like that for us. I like how streamlined everything is, and that the options they choose to carry of a given product are generally just plum fantastic. read more

When I want specialty items that can only be found in one place, I go to Trader Joe's (Everything But the Bagel seasoning, a bevy of healthy ready to heat frozen items, reasonably priced produce and COMPOSTABLE plastic bags to put them in! The list goes on...) When I lived in Jacksonville, Trader Joe's was too far from my home to go to frequently. The first major use of their services was to order cases of their most well-known and revered wine, "three buck chuck" Charles Shaw wine for my wedding reception. My brother and other health conscious friends kept talking this place up, so I figured I should go see what foods they have to offer. Their Fearless Flyer helps customers know what items are being highlighted and spotlighted in the store. One could easily go in for $50 worth of food and come out with a cart full totaling $150 (like I do frequently) because there are so many tasty items to choose from. I will continue to shop here and fill my cart full. read more

I love this store and love the way it is laid out. I shop in the Knoxville Tennessee location and wish it was designed like your store . I love the diagonal aisles. Your employees are friendly and helpful. Great job! read more

Best grocery store in Tallahassee by far. I mean it's Trader Joes, what could be wrong. Staff is always friendly and helpful. They are doing a great job of enforcing social distancing regulations and make me feel safe. It is a smaller store, but well maintained and stocked with the best products. I cannot chose my absolute favorite, but I do frequent the bread section. The whole what tuscan pane is my absolute favorite, but any type of sourdough is a close second. The almond butter granola is another product I couldn't live without. read more

Trader Joe's is really out of my way. There are multiple Winn Dixies, Publixes, and Walmarts along the way, and yet, I continue my drive until I reach TJs. Trader Joe's allure is a combination of its social attitudes and awareness; exceptional store brand/generic products; and affordable prices. Go! P.S., The parking situation is admittedly terrible though. The drive thru line from Starbucks often backs up on to the street, so sometimes you're better off using the second entrance by Chipotle! read more

Make sure you stop by and say hello to Maria - outstanding customer service. Always willing to help - hard worker.

Absolutely love this store. I always find new things and at very reasonable prices. My favorite is the Chocolate Croissants. Just put them out the night before let them thaw and proof and they are ready to go in 8 hours. The Honey BBQ chips are off the chain as well. The staff is friendly and always have a smile. read more

This is a GREAT Trader Joe's location. I'm still wondering why we don't have one in Orlando yet. The employees here are always very friendly and eager to assist you. Especially the ones at the tasting booth close to the back right corner. The prices here are way better than Whole Foods. Yes, they may not have as much variety, but do you really need all that variety most times? I especially love their bars - the ones that say, "this cranberry walked into a bar..." or "this blueberry walked into a bar..." Tee hee. read more

My hubby and I favorite place to buy american groceries (and some asian groceries like the dumplings or mochi ice cream). Everything is really good and cheaper than most groceries stores (the fresh produce especially). The employees are very friendly also. My hubby and I are not a drinking couple but we see they have cheap wine that seems also popular with our friends when talking about Trader Joes. Below are things that I remember off the top of my head that we always get here: My Asian Favs: Korean bbq short ribs, pork dumplings, pork buns. (If you want american asian food get the orange chicken) BBQ: Go get that bbq pork in the corner by the pizza dough (Its labeled like trader joes bbq pork or something in a black tray. Frozen Pizza: The bbq pizza, and the Miatre Pierre Ham, gruyere, and caramelized onion frozen pizza. Frozen seafood: Coconut shrimp Chips- Veggie chips, kettle corn popcorn (in the pink bag) Drinks- The famous pink lemonade, and the root beer by the sushi and salad (its usually at the top right next to the aloe drinks) Cookies- Those thin cookies lemon or coconut. THE COCOA AND COOKIE BUTTER SPREAD!!!! (The almond butter is good to) Desserts- mochi ice creams (all flavors), the macaroons (the assorted flavor box is better), NY cheesecake, the single ice cream cone with melted chocolates covering the ice cream (I can't remember the name). The $1.50 fresh bread in the long brown bags. The eggs are cheap also. What I don't recommend/what I don't like (at least what I can think of off the top of my head): Their sriracha and pho. read more

Trader Joe's - Fav thing to buy at trader joes - Grocery Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

See all

Trader Joe's is a great place for grocery shoppers from a microwave king to a michelin star aspiring homecook. They have a good selection of produce and prepared produce (such as zoodles, riced cauliflower, sweet potato zig zags). However i really hate the excess plastic wrapping ans consumption on some produce (cucumbers, broccoli, zucchini). Especially when they use paper bags and give out raffles when you bring your own reuseable bags. Its interesting how they sell some produce by item (an onion, apples, oranges, squash, cucumber, tomatoes, banana) and i think it might be less economical that way instead of charging per pound. Their fresh meat selection is limited but never any fresh seafood or local fish. (Basic cuts of steak, all parts of the chicken, ground beef & turkey, salmon ... no fancy rack of lamb or prime meat cuts with beautiful marbling) But trader joe's does shine in the breads dept with good selections (ciabatta, italian, wraps, naan, pita, bagels). I will say their spice aisle is minimal and you will not find much. Their snack foods & frozen foods are so novel and this is where they shine. They have good selection of unique veggies, creative & ethnic meals, snacks, dips, and sweets. I like their refridgerated dips - hummus, pate, almond dip, tzatiki sauce. Good chip, nuts/trail mix and salsa aisle. They get you with their cheap house brand vino which i dont like but they stock a few mid range options. Sometimes their lines are long but they do a good job of checking out quickly and opening new registers to accomodate. They are way better than public about packing groceries in paper bags. read more

My reaction upon entering Trader Joe's is usually a mixture of relief and "ALKAJDSFLKJF!" I love this store with all of my heart, and do about 90% of my grocery shopping here because the products are high quality, not made out of crap, and the prices are outstanding. They have so many unique store products that, each time you enter, you have to try something new. The employees are so friendly and, many times, if you're unsure about a new product, they'll open it and let you test it. Most importantly, for me, is that I can get my New Mexico fix here: tamales and Pin~on coffee. This particular store is staffed with extremely friendly employees, it is very clean and well maintained, and is almost always busy. My only gripe is the parking lot (seriously, a Starbucks on the corner? Thanks, lazy-drive-thru-people, for blocking the whole lot). However, it doesn't discourage me from shopping here...it only makes my disdain for Starbucks grow. read more
