I’m giving this low star rating so that the manager will notice. I live by this TJ’s but cannot depend on it. The inventory control is atrocious. It has been since its opening more than 5 years ago. Invariably, I leave with only 60~70% of the items on my list. This fateful Monday, that went down to 0% — beckoning this post :/​Some items, especially like fresh daily bread run out more frequently. About 50% of the time I cannot pick up the loaf I came for.
I’ve attached photos of empty shelves from this Monday (not-​so-​late) evening.
Also, like half the negative reviewers on here, a warning to check expiry dates.

Took me long enough to get to this! Just when you thought your Sunday morning grocery shopping trip is going to suck as much as the gloomy weather outside, THINK AGAIN! The store was completely empty minimizing my shopping trip to about 15 minutes which is amazing in any store ever. And hats off the the lovely men who helped me at the checkout line. Not only were they speedy on the checkout they were a great team and extremely funny. I would definitely go back just to hear some of their jokes again!

My neighborhood TJs. This store is always well stocked, clean, and organized. Parking is easy and free in the small attached garage on the same floor (tip: go to the last spots – if you take the first you may get stuck on your way out as you wait for others to park). The staff is always friendly and helpful. It’s definitely a city TJs though, so if you’re used to the larger suburban locations, you might not find all of your favorite items here. If you can, go at 8:00am on a weekday – no crowds!

Super friendly staff. Super convenient location. I like to pop by to pick up weekly groceries after a good sweat at the 24 fitness next store. They don’t seem too crowded unlike the others in the city. At those I feel like I’m gonna get into a cat fight over the last quart of cookie butter ice cream.
They also return old AF items. The other day while I was in line to purchase a fresh pressed watermelon juice (YUM) and some shrimp spring rolls (MASSIVE SUCK), the lady in front of me proceeded to return three items. All seemed used and abused, but the cashier was super friendly and returned them no ifs, ands, or buts. The only one he rejected was this one bottle of scented spray because it wasn’t even from trader joes. HA. One point for trader joes, zero points for you, you return policy abuser!!!

I had the chance to experience the joys of Trader Joe’s for the first time! It might look like a regular grocery store, but it has so much to offer and healthy variety of products. We visited on a Saturday and it was not crowded. We were also able to find parking right away (free 1 hr parking while you shop).
Excellent place with so much to offer, and the prices are fantastic. From a tourist stand point this was not too far from our hotel. We were able to buy lots of goodies that we can’t normally find back home. I was thrilled to find that they had almond stuffed olives and a great variety of quinoa.
Wish we had this great place in AK. Great prices and products!

I love trader joes in general. Who doesn’t? I like the layout of this one and the staff are super friendly. Random fact: they keep rolls of quarters just for people to exchange in order to do laundry. So many other businesses refuse. The only thin I have to say is that on occasion some veggies and fruit are overripe/​already bad when I get ten home.

It’s a really convenient place and offers some things that the Safeway nearby doesn’t (Energy bars ahem). The staff generally does their own thing, but are very friendly.

I just had the best customer service from a cashier! The tradition (non-​organic) spinach I typically purchase was out of stock so they comped my pricier bag of organic spinach! I sincerely appreciate customer service like this! Thank you, TJ’s, you made my day

This is a good li’l neighborhood TJs. Not one of the biggest one I’ve been to, but always well stocked and the staff are always pleasant and helpful. There is a parking garage, but spaces are limited and turns are tight… so if you plan on coming during peak times (ie. after work/​5p — 7:30p during wkdays and mornings to early aftn on weekends), then be prepared for crowded conditions.

Excellent Service and helpful to customers. I am regular customer and I find everything that I need here even lower price than Safeway that is just across the street. They are also very helpful to our karate events in neighborhood.

I’ve been coming to Trader Joes more often nowadays. You can find basically everything you’d need except probably the typical snacks at a local grocery place. I consider Trader Joes to have healthy version of snacks. Their wine collection is wonderful! Super affordable great wine! They also have super affordable quick lunches– salads, sushi, wraps. My favorite section is probably their frozen meat/​fruits/​sweets section! Their ice cream mochi and macarons are must gets if you like sweets! They even have seasonal pumpkin items in store arounf each September!

This place is lovely. You can’t go wrong with a place that sells organic products, delicious packaged salads and alcohol all under one roof. The prices are so reasonable considering the quality of the products. The shelves are always well stocked and the staff are so knowledgable and helpful. Do not attempt to leave without picking up one of those delicious dark chocolate caramel sea salt bars located beside the registers. a little piece of heaven.

Love this place.
Can’t go wrong with anything here. Seriously, I feel so zen and amazing everytime I step into this place.
As a tourist, I mainly bought the fresh fruits, ready to eat, snacks and COOKIE BUTTER. Warning: the TSA will not allow you to bring said cookie butter on your carry-​on. Pretty sure it’s so they can keep all that shit for themselves!
Especially loved the pre-​packed pomegranate seeds.
Plus, the staff were really pleasant and helpful.
I’m definitely an ardent fan of TJs and will always make a point to visit whenever I’m back.

I’ll be honest. I wandered in here because I was lost.
No, I didn’t ask them for directions, I just wanted to buy something to drink before I dehydrate and die in telegraph hill.
Grabbed a sample of the pizza they were serving and it was as cold as my corpse would have been had I not bought something to drink.
«Hey, this pizza is cold,» I said.
«It’s a sample,» the guy behind the counter said. «It’s free.»
True, true, but if you’re going to do something, do it right. Cook the pizza through before you serve it. Your job is to entice people to buy it. Not just shove cold pizza icicles at them so they’ll go away.
For that poor customer service, 3 stars.
Loved their banana display though. See photo. Makes me want to buy some bananas.

I was staying at the Sheraton nearby and was thrilled TJ’s was close to my hotel!
We popped in here to get some healthy snacks and lunch for the USC-​Cal game. The store was fairly quiet, but it was also before 10 AM.
Found what we needed and were able to check out quickly. Cashier was friendly.
Didn’t know (as an out of towner) that bags are charged for – we weren’t offered bags, but fortunately my friend had a bag big enough for our goodies.

The convenience of having a Trader Joe’s in this neighborhood, is more than welcomed!
Time to stock up on some good selections of cheese, veggies and meat!
Parking is right next door, but I walk here. Getting my cardio on before grabbing some delectable groceries!

Shopped at Trader Joe’s since I was in the area, it’s near Fishermen’s Wharf/​Pier 39.
I picked up 2 tubs of Hummus 16oz $ 3.49 ea.
It wasn’t that busy for a Sun because it was around 11am, cashier said it gets busy after 1pm.
Bring your own bag to save 10c! I had my backpack to stuff the hummus into.
