    Joe's is always the best especially when we are traveling. This one is a little over 10 minutes from Oceanfront in the Hilltop shopping area. We picked up our uncured Deli meats, cheese and the best kept secret canned fish. From Sardines to Squid, salmon, oysters, anchovies and mussels you can't beat the prices and selection. The bonus for us is the grocery stores in Va sell beer/wine and Joe's has a great selection-Picked up a French Rose for $8. Service is always friendly and they get you through the pay lines quickly. Must stop when visiting the Beach

    Mother's Day, 2025. Beautiful arrangement from TJ's.

    May, 2025. This is an unusual review in that I haven't actually visited this Trader Joe's. However, my daughters (and their husbands) bought me Mother's Day flowers from TJ's and they're absolutely gorgeous -- colorful and packed with a variety of flowers. It's almost a week later, and all of the flowers still look good, and a few of the lilies continue to open -- which makes it look like a new arrangement every day.

    Christmas is a great time to visit their seasonal items. Better to go on a weekday to avoid a crowded store.

    Trader Joe's is my go-to for grocery shopping! I try my best to go during weekdays at odd hours, because this place can get crowded since it's currently the only one located in Virginia Beach. Note: if you don't love crowds, don't go on a Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning. I've been to plenty of Trader Joe's in various states, and the staff is alway so friendly, helpful and make the experience great. This spot in particular is always clean. Who doesn't love to notice that when they're shopping for food? One of my favorite things about TJ is the seasonal items. Especially around the fall, when pumpkin flavored things hit the shelves. Not all locations sell alcohol, but this one in particular has a huge wine selection. Some of my favorite wines I have bought at TJ, and they are so reasonably priced, ~$7 to $9 a bottle! (and no, they don't leave me with a headache). They staff is always helping bag items at the end of your visit, and giving suggestions on what to make with the items you pick. Great location.

    TJs isn't the fanciest or the largest - but their prices are more than fair. I came in years ago and then have not come back since but we stopped in yesterday specifically to get some pork carnitas for tacos my husband likes to make. While he was picking out the ingredients, I walked the store and checked out the frozen items and the produce. I was impressed with the fresh produce and the more than fair prices here. We found tons of fresh, chopped fruits for only $3.99 - a large portion too. Fresh berries and fruits at better prices than Harris Teeter for sure. I loved all the grab n go meals in the frozen section and found a bunch of cool ideas and items for later. I know they have almost a cult following for the frozen items and I could see why - I was in heaven looking everything over. Breakfast, berries, acai bowls, shrimp fried rice, pierogis, you name it. I saw it. Small baked good section with a nice selection as well with some really delicious looking breads. Trader Joe's has some cool items are wonderful prices - I got a nice natural spray sunscreen for $5.99 (typical cost is around ($9-12) so this was a find for me. It isn't huge inside but what they do have it cool and they have some yummy flavors and interesting items inside. Pretty flowers. I'll add this to the rotation from time to time. *Note - SUPER crowded on weekends.

    They have all the groceries I need and want in terms of variety and quality. I had an issue with my receipt and the manager, Lana, was so gracious enough to correct it. She was so accommodating and even gave me a beautiful Fall bouquet. Just want to give a huge thanks to Lana for making my day better (it was long and exhausting) and the flowers were such a sweet pick me up! It really put me in a better mood and for that I'm so grateful for her kindness! So THANK YOU SO MUCH, Lana!!! You are truly amazing!!!

    Trader Joe's, the foodie heart of any city blessed to have one. Decent prices, excellent staff and so many goodies. There is always something to try here. Most recently I picked up the Portuguese egg tarts from the frozen aisle and they were soooooooo good. Trader Joe's is appropriate for weekly grocery shopping, shopping for a small gathering, stopping for snacks before the beach and everything in between. BYOB (Bring your own bag) and you may win free groceries!

    Came just for these!

    My all-time favorite local grocery store. I find everything I need here and more. I find that these items are affordable considering they are a healthier option and most items are organic, dye free, gluten free or something that is beneficial. Service is always amazing and quick. They stock almost everyday from what I can tell. This is the only place I buy flowers from as well. So fresh, pretty, and cheap!

    I'm literally in HEAVEN. Why haven't I shopped here before? I've been missing this all my life. Reasonably priced and everything that you could desire is there. We found the tik tok griddle cakes and omg they are so so good. Also the staff was top notch. They could see us with our deer with headlights on and helped guide us thru the store as we looked for things.

    Shopping in Virginia Beach, Virginia... My friend asked me where I wanted to go during my vacation in her town. I asked her if there was a Trader Joe's nearby... Because we have none in Hawaii. She said that there's one across town - she doesn't go often because it's a bit out of the way. She wanted to take a look, too, so, we went! Trader Joe's in Virginia Beach is similar to the ones I've visited in Los Angeles and Las Vegas: Free parking Convenient restroom Good air conditioning Neat, clean, safe environment Friendly staff Colorful flowers and a great variety of plants Greeting cards for 99 cents Fresh fruits and vegetables Nuts, candies, cookies, frozen food, beverages, pasta, sauces, soaps, etc. Some of my friends mentioned the Ube cookies, ube pancake mix, and mochi cake mix. I hadn't seen these items before, so, I got them! Ooh! That's one-stop shopping! All of my gift giving woes are over! Yay!

    The best chips ever!!!
    Leah J.

    Trader Joe's has been a store my daughter and I love visiting ever since she was young. We definitely can spend over an hour in the store looking at all of the many unique grocery items they supply. My daughter's favorite items to get are the seaweed packs and the Butter Chicken in the frozen section. I have many items I enjoy but my new favorite item is the White Truffle Potato Chips. If you enjoy the taste of truffles, you will absolutely love these chips. Even though the closest store is across town, we will hop in the car and have a mother/daughter date to Trader Joe's. We absolutely enjoy this place and love that they always have new items to try!

    Mixed bouquet... I brought 5 different ones and mixed them up.

    Anytime I'm in Va beach i stop by Trader Joes. Its normally alot of people in there, but i went 30 minutes before closing and it wasn't so bad.. I love coming here because their flowers are very reasonably priced and i like their frozen food section. I am not a drinker, but i always pick up wine for special occasions because the prices are awesome. $6 was pretty good in my eyes. The store was clean but there were alot of people stocking. But that wasn't a problem. The customer service was good and the associates were nice.. I picked up some of my favorite things and i was on my way. In and out... I definitely wish they'd open another location in Va bch or Chesapeake. Having just one isn't enough.. Lol. They have a nice selection of things even though they're a small store!! My total was about $200, so although the prices are reasonable, it can add up pretty quickly... Lol. Omg... My budget was $70 for a few things. We see that didn't happen... Smh. Lol. But i liked what i got. Stop by and check them out... You'll find something good!!! 4.5 stars!!

    My objective on this update review is one fold. To discuss how they operate under COVID. My five stars should tip you off that it's excellent! The staff outside the door monitors flow and count. I did not get the exact number, but it's over 100 at a time based on my experience. Shopping carts are cleaned. Mask are recommended, I did not see required. Almost all customers I witnessed were masked. Throughout the store employees were cleaning. Not the same employee mind you, but multiple staff were wiping things down. So what we seem to know about COVID is that surface to surface transmission of the virus seems unlikely. However, they were extremely diligent in cleaning. Checkout has plexiglass and hand sanitizer for customers. The staff who assisted me was friendly. I really need to make TJ a more frequent stop.

I think prices are a biotech HIGH but what places do you know that haven't been impacted by inflation? From dragon fruit to quail eggs this was a foodies field day! If you are into cooking exotic cuisine or simply want to try some international snacks, I say check this place out!

    What happened to the first E-Mart adjoined to Costco and Fresh Market? E-Mart occupied the same…read morebuilding as World Market, now with new signs and different merchandise. The new location has only half of what I bought at Jefferson Avenue in Newport News (not the other store on Warwick blvd.) E-Mart was relocated virtually overnight and without warning to Virginia Beach from Newport News. Did an army of marauders lug everything south or was it quantum tunneling and computer modeling that displace matter within space...? World Market in Newport News is the new E-Mart and has only furniture, not the Asian food I was looking for. Instead, I went next door to Fresh Market and bought two bags of red, white and blue potato chips. The woman of color behind the counter knew I understood what they had done. She said something out of context with my shopping trip: "It's my turn now." As if reparations are my duty to the world and I have to hand over the American legacy on a silver platter to make things right. Oh, so that's why you keep moving things around. Okay! Don't look at me if you want 40 acres and a mule because thanks to the local radical left politicians and reverse discrimination I have neither. This is a shell game. Someone is practicing psyops.
