Trader Joe’s

Not much I can say about Trader Joe’s that hasn’t already been said. Always Excellent quality food at mostly excellent prices with the best/​friendliest service in the grocery or any other industry to boot, You really can’t go wrong!

I LOVE Trader Joe’s! Good food, good prices, good variety, and the friendliest staff you could ever meet! It can be overwhelming to people on their first visit, but it’s definitely worth going back. You’ll be a regular in no time!

Great staff. The Produce is not always the best in town but I can count on they 100% for all my other needs. Personally think they have the best wine selections and goat cheese. The family just loves this place.

This is my absolute favorite place to buy groceries. The product selection and prices are great. The staff are some of the kindest and most helpful people I’ve encountered. They continuously go above and beyond for their customers and have always greeted me with smiles and fun conversation. They will always stop whatever they are doing to help you find a product or answer a question.
In fact, this weekend we had some major car trouble and were stuck in their parking lot with our 3 children on a hot day. We were miserable, our car was blocking the parking lot and was full of groceries. The staff was the epitome of kindness and compassion. They put our groceries in their freezer until the tow truck arrived, offered us water, and continuously checked on us to make sure we were okay. Some employees even offered to take a break and drive us home! I have rarely experienced such behavior and was touched by their actions. This is by far the best Trader Joe’s and overall grocery store in St. Louis!!!

This is my favorite Trader Joes. The Brentwood location about gives me an anxiety attack from the busy store and all the crazy drivers that do not pay attention. This location I can semi relax and enjoy my shopping trip. My staples are their champagne pear vinaigrette with gorgonzola dressing and also their cilantro dressing (both refrigerated by the salad mixes). I love their cookie butter (peanut butter consistency but made with gingerbread and biscuits. Their chili lime chicken patties are great. They have great cheap wine that surprisingly doesn’t give you a hangover.
I’m usually in and out of this store in 20 minutes which is awesome for Trader Joes.

Trader Joe’s has amazing flowers. I was hosting a Bridal Shower and needed a large amount of flowers. Trader Joe’s surpassed my expectation with selection, availability, and quality. People at the shower would not stop commenting on the beauty of the flowers! Score Trader Joes!!!
Fresh flowers just make people smile. Since hosting the Bridal Shower I have given two other Trader Joes Bouquets to other people and have gotten huge hugs. Thanks Trader Joes. Come here if you need to brighten someone’s day or are hosting an event. I would have never believed it until I took time to stop and literally smell their roses!!!
I am always impressed with Customer Service at this location.

What can I say? It’s TJs! It’s amazing! One of my favorite places to go ever. And everyone is so super nice. I just love it.

I love this place! They have a great selection of meatless products that are actually good!!!

This is by far one of my favorite grocery store in St. Louis. The staff is very friendly and always helpful. The food selection is great and the prices are very reasonable. Most people think this place is expensive, but it is not it is very comparable to other grocery stores in town. If you are a wine drinker you should check out their wine selection they have tremendous amount of wine here.
Another good thing about this place is they let you mix and match your beer I don’t know of any other place that let you do that.
They offer so many different types of ethnic food which is great for me because I love exploring other cultures foods.
Every single day there is a sample table by the cheese section it is a great way to try new juices, cheese, and other stuff.

This is a great smaller Trader Joes with ample parking. They offer all the things you would find at a larger store plus food & drink samples. The staff was fantastic, per the Trader Joes standards. All around the best place to do your grocery shopping.

Great place to grab a meal if you’re looking for something different; however, I wouldn’t recommend buying your week’s groceries their because the expiration dates go really fast since everything is organic. That being said they do have some really good food especially the cheeses. Also, like how they have the make your own six pack beer.

I never really bought in to the Trader Joe’s hype. I mean, the store is tiny, all located in areas where it’s kind of a hassle to get there, and I just didn’t feel like they had the variety worth making the trip. That was a beginner talking. Now that I’m starting to figure out the lay of the land, I might be in love. Or at least I’m crushing hard!
I just started Weight Watchers and have learned that you can eat quite a bit if you’re smart about it. Trader Joes has a lot of lower fat items that you just can’t get anywhere else. Some of my fantastic finds today included reduced fat deli sliced white cheddar, guiltless guacamole (that is sinfully good), frozen roasted corn, cabernet and herb marinated pot roast, 96% lean hamburger patties, frozen asparagus risotto, hand-​cut frozen fries… I could go on!
Everything is cheaper than full fat items at the big local grocery stores and the workers are crazy nice. I don’t think I’ve ever checked out without having a genuine actual conversation with my checker.
I’m excited to keep exploring Trader Joe’s and see if this turns in to a full-​on love affair.

I love Trader Joe’s! GREAT organic food and a lot of VERY healthy snack options this is where I get the bulk of my grocery shopping done!

Always love shopping here, the staff is great and friendly and the food choices are good. My favorite is the Vanilla yogurt w/​almonds and their choices of nuts and snacks is awesome!

I guess I don’t have to come out here as often as I used to when the Brentwood one was smaller.
*The parking lot is better than the Brentwood one; it’s smaller, but the spaces are bigger.
*The alcohol selection is better here than the Brentwood one (still better after the Brentwood expansion).
*They have a free drawing that you can enter if you bring your own bags.
*Employees are cheery and quick… but they are not as plentiful as they are in Brentwood.

I love almost every TJ’s I walk into, and this store was no exception. It had just dawned on me after like 3 years of seeing doctors in this neighborhood that there was a TJ’s store right dab smack across the street from the golf course area where the medical buildings are located. I was like… wow. Why have I never gone into this TJ’s before?! I decided to change that and head on over there last week to get me some delicious treats!
This store seems a bit smaller than the one in Brentwood but then again, the one in Brentwood just expanded/​remodeled or something so maybe it is, in fact, smaller, or maybe it’s just an optical illusion. The parking lot is definitely smaller for this store, and as other reviewers have mentioned, it can be somewhat perilous to drive through. I actually saw two shoppers who had gotten into an accident in the parking lot on my way out, though I suppose that could have happened on Olive Blvd and they just pulled into the TJ’s lot to exchange info, though they parked in the middle of the lot, blocking traffic and probably just made things even more dangerous. Luckily I was able to sneak out unscathed! But it did make me a tad nervous.
Store-​wise everything was pretty much on par with the other two locations I’ve been to in MO. (Brentwood and West County.) The employees were very friendly and helpful. The dude at the cash register even recommended some good milk chocolate since the chocolate bars I had picked up were, in fact, dark, and I don’t much care for the bitterness of dark chocolate (unless it’s a brownie or something, accompanied by a giganto glass of milk.) I did not encounter any of the disgruntled employees mentioned by previous reviewers. Also, this trip was made around 5−6pm so it was right during rush hour, when people were getting off work. The store had a lot of traffic, and they only had a few cashiers, but maybe people were still trickling in to start their shifts.
I could not locate one of my favorite ultra-​cheapo-​yet-​delish wines in this store (Green Fin) but I did see Benefactor Cabernet was on sale for something like $ 4.99 a bottle so I snagged one and boy was it good! I’d def buy that again. It’s impossible for me to go into a TJ’s and not buy alcohol. Mmm.
Other misc stuff I got:
— Petit Foures. Omfg. Mind blowing. Worth the price tag. Actually quite sizable portions, much bigger than other mass-​produced varietals I’ve tried in the past. Delicious raspberry filling reminds me of homemade raspberry jam and incredible almond-​y/​marizpan flavor to the cake.
— Macarons. Surprisingly the plain vanilla and chocolate kinds are better tasting than the multi flavor boxes. The multi flavor ones just taste kinda fake to me.
— Mushroom Risotto. Not bad but needed some cheese to jazz it up.
— Ginger Beer. Haven’t tried yet but looks epic.
— Mini pumpkin pies, unnfff soooo good.
BTW there’s a hilariously great blog out there called «What’s Good at Trader Joe’s» and I highly recommend reading it if you’re looking to scope out some new products to try!

Just a very bland TJ’s for me. I had to go for some Tea Tree Oil products. They have great deals on Tea Tree Body Wash, Soap, Shampoo, and oil. It is all good quality and better prices than you would get them for at a drug store or even Whole Foods. It was easy in and out as they had adequate staff working at the registers. There was just nothing that stood out about this particular location for me aesthetically. But they have all the trusty TJ products I have come to rely and depend upon.

I have come to really enjoy Trader Joe’s. It is located a pleasant 5 min drive away from me. +1. I first expected TJs to be more like Whole Foods, so I was initially disappointed as it has a much smaller selection. However, that was really just my mistake.
They have a wonderful selection of organic, vegan, gluten-​free, and just generally healthy food. I mostly buy produce here. Their wine selection is also lovely. I will typically stop here for just a couple items that I need to prepare a meal that day since their produce is fresh. I wish they had more vegan options (i.e. vegan sweet treats or vegan yogurt). I have found a line of vegan chocolate bars that are delicious.
Furthermore, the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful!

I come from a land where Trader Joe’s was unheard of… (now everyone knows of it)
Came to St. Louis for college and my eyes were opened!
I particularly enjoy this TJ’s b/​c everyone I meet is always just so stinkin’ helpful!
On my most recent trip, I noticed one of my favorite snack bars was out of stock on shelf, so I asked a friendly TJs team member and they quickly ran to check the main computer as to where my beloved snack was.
Where most people would just look at an empty shelf and say «sorry» this TJs has a bunch of awesome people willing to go the extra mile!
AWESOME!
only thing keeping this from a 5 star rating is the parking situation. always gotta be careful navigating this one…

I have heard about TJ for sometime now and never been, mainly because I just never felt like it.
Finally went in because me and the wife were looking for some Agave nectar and some other interesting ingredients.
I found the people that work there to be very friendly and actually very excited to help you.
We didn’t have allot of time to browse so I didn’t look at everything, but they have allot here and I think the prices were much better than some of the other chains in the area.
I am really excited to go back and check out what they have in detail.
