What People Are Saying About Trader Joe's

Featured Review

Martha Burr

Contributor

In Short – Founder Joseph Coulombe started this L.A.-based convenience chain 34 years ago. Today, you can get exotic, prepackaged frozen foods, fresh salsas, huge portobello mushrooms, baby artichokes and heirloom tomatoes fresher--and cheaper--than at most supermarkets. Inexpensive meat, fish, coffees and teas, dozens of cheeses, grains and pastas cram the shelves. The frozen section features tasty treats, including barbecue chicken pizzas, mushroom risotto and salmon patties. Beer, wine and liquor sections are stocked with very affordable labels.

Another favorite place!

by maxbbr at Citysearch

Another favorite place! This Trader Joes has full of a variety of gourmet & own brand items including a huge section of cut flowers, potted plants. Good prices, friendly service. They will order things for you if they are out of it. - I would suggest checking dates of packages the plastic boxed salads dont hold up too well. Check out lines can be long, and parking is very limited.

  • Pros: cut & potted flowers, products
  • Cons: parking, lines

Crunch, Goat Yogurt, and Berries, Oh Yea

by mphillips_citysearch at Citysearch

Cranberry Almond Crunch, goat yogurt (oh, it's good), and fresh fruit to sprinkle on top -- mostly blueberries and blackberries. And maybe some fresh flowers to decorate the table where I sit and munch my TJ Concoction.
