Fresh produce and gourmet frozen foods sold at affordable prices.. 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.

Love this original Trader Joe's location...old world charm with great products and service. I love Trader Joe's. In fact, I shop at all of th major stores. However, of all of the stores (including Gelsons, Whole Foods, Bristol, etc) Trader Joe's is by far the best. They have great quality, unique products. They are environmentally conscience (recyclable packaging) and often sell organic goods. Foods are always hormone and antibiotic free. To top is off, it is incredibly well priced. I am always stocked that the bill is as low as it is. In contrast, the bill is always more than I am expecting when I shop at the above-mentioned stores.

I love this La Crescenta location. It is one of the originals and has lots of charm. They often stock new items and always have samples towards the back. Even if yo do not live nearby, make the drive to this location. You will not be dissappointed. I wish they would expand!!!
