Trader Joe’s earns largely positive reviews and is considered a good grocer, praised for consistently tasty snacks, standout frozen foods, cheeses, and an enjoyable in-store experience, with some calling its daily facial sunscreen a reliable dupe that doesn’t leave a white cast. Weaknesses surface around uneven fresh produce, occasional “nope” items, sneaky ingredients in some pre-made foods, and heavy plastic packaging.

  • I really love Trader Joe’s. As someone who gets easily overwhelmed by the visual assault of too much choice and colour in most supermarkets, I truly appreciate their simpler layout and smaller footprint. The quality is consistently good for the price, and I love discovering the new and seasonal products they bring out.

  • My dogs love the Trader’s Joe Jerky Strips. It’s so healthy for them and it’s their favorite dog treat. Beef is the 1st ingredient on the list too. There is no additive or bad chemicals on their treats. I definitely recommend this.

  • I love TraderJoe's! Have been shopping here since I was a child shopping here with my mom. I love all the fun snacks and treats you cant find anywhere else and the price point has always been fair in my opinion! Good vibes at T Joez

  • Spent thousands at TJs over the years...80% great, 20% nope. Love the shopping experience. Dried berries, slivered almonds, interesting frozen food and snacks, great chocolate. Cheap fresh product compared to other options.

  • Love Trader Joe’s! High quality and affordable produce is what brings me into the store, the fun snacks keep me excited, and I love the cheese selection. Their yogurts are another favorite and come in great flavors.

  • Trader Joe’s never lets me down. I love the fact that they carry seasonal items. It’s so much fun to try new foods and treats. They friendly staff is so nice. They are all so genuine and kind. Trader Joe’s is a staple in my home.

  • I love Trader Joe's! The prices are fantastic and they have such a great selection of food items and snacks. I will say that their pre-made foods have a lot of sneaky ingredients that aren't good for you so you have to watch for that. But otherwise, I've been a consistent customer for nearly 10 years!

  • Trader Joe’s is one of my go to places. They have every kind of product from food to beverages to flowers and sunscreen. The daily facial sunscreen they have is great. It doesn’t smell or leave a white cast. It’s a great quality for the price.

  • Love Trader Joe’s as the place for new, fun snacks and a few staples. Typically go to Trader Joe’s as my ‘in-between’ grocery store and don’t get the bulk of my staples from here. Their cakes and frozen desserts are great.

  • You can never be mad in a Trader Joe's, I feel like the workers are gonna break out into song at any moment. They have some unique product selections and reasonably priced items that are way more expensive at other retailers. I especially like their heart of palm products. Their flower selection is always full of life and different varieties. During the late summer, they're usually the first grocery store in the area to carry figs and have them available for longer.

  • A vacation must have for me. My DIL told me how great this was & she was right! No sunburned cheeks here.

  • Trader Joe's is always a win! The selection is fantastic, and I love how unique their products are compared to other stores. Whether it’s snacks, frozen foods, or fresh produce, everything is high quality and reasonably priced. I can always find something new to try, and the store has such a great vibe. It’s definitely my go-to for both everyday staples and fun, new items!

  • This is one of my favorite grocery stores. The prices are much more consistent and fairly priced than other stores in my area, and the variety of every category is unparalleled. Their frozen food and snack options have always been delicious!

  • For the price, their products are good. I've found the sunscreen to be a dupe of Supergoop and used the moisturizer as part of my bedtime routine. Recommend for the price.

  • Love trader joes. Go for prepared foods, pasta and dry goods, cheeses, breads, frozen foods and snacks. Not the place to go for fresh veggies and fruit and I wish they had less plastic packaging, but I do see things improving so that's nice. I feel better getting the Trader Joe's version of foods to other grocery stores, and I find the prices are better for similar goods. And the sunscreen is great for $8.
