Awesome grocery experience. The reusable bags were durable and cheap. The peanut butter cookie butter was the best spread I’ve ever had. Pricing was somewhat expensive but insured quality products.

There’s some pretty questionable management going on in this store. We had an unpleasant experience with a cashier. He’s tall with greasy hair, look to be in his twenties, and has this surfer-looking vibe to him. As we were checking out, he dropped a box of our crackers on the ground. Then in a mock baby-tone voice he started going, «Oh noooo, oh noooo, oh nooo.» My dad joked that he should be careful not to break anything, and then he continued his unprofessional attitude the way you would talk to a puppy or child saying, «ohhhh, did you bring me food? Did you bring me food???» He didn’t bid us a good day as he handed us the receipt either, missing his only saving grace. Needless to say, we were pretty disgusted as we walked out. The only thing that kept us from demanding to see his manager was that it was a Sunday afternoon. Seriously, man. If you hate your job that much, just quit it.

I like this location far more than the one on Saratoga which has a larger parking lot but also is more crowded and more of a pain to get into and out of. I also feel like the employees here are friendlier. I’ll stop in once or twice a week after work for some fresh groceries for dinner.

I mean I get it you don’t want customers to interrupt your chat with your co-workers. But girls, you work here and be professional. We don’t mind waiting for you till you finish your gossip but don’t give us attitudes. If it is not because us, you probably don’t get a job. I love TJ a lot to the extent that I can put up with the challenges in the compact parking lot. But I just don’t understand why some people work there are so ill-mannered. If you are not happy, don’t work there. Nobody asked you not to work hard in school. I have witnessed a lot of Asian customers being treated not nicely.

I love this Trader Joe’s. The staff is friendly and helpful. Trader’s has fresh organic choices and is a more wallet-friendly alternative to Whole Foods. Trader’s is my go-to grocery store.

My favorite Trader Joe’s ever. On top of having all the great stuff that TJ’s always does, this particular location always has everything I need in stock as well as the friendliest staff on this planet. Plus, it’s always super clean and never too crowded!

Parking sucks. You always have to circle around a bit to find a place! That said, I can see why Trader Joe’s is the highest grossing grocery store by square foot! I came in wanting to just buy a couple avocados and left with $ 30 of groceries! I just wanted to buy everything and it feels really healthy!

Love, love, love this place! As weird as it sounds, I always look forward to grocery shop here. I love walking in and the first things I see are flowers and fruits — two of my favorite things. I can find everything I want here, from fruits, to yogurt, to healthy snacks, to even my dog’s favorites bacon treats! Favorite grocery store!

The parking lot is awfully small for a Trader Joe’s that shares a location with other eateries. The layout is typical of any Trader Joe’s and the staff similar to others. They had samples here as well but also had a cookie sample! All my necessary groceries were there which was awesome so that I didn’t have to go to another location or an additional spot for my other stuff. Again only downside is the parking lot.

Have you been to Trader Joe’s before? Yes? Than you know what to expect. What you DON’T know is that this parking lot is a god damn nightmare. That’s straight up real talk right there. It honestly took me 15 minutes or so just to LEAVE. TOLEAVEPEOPLE. Friendly folks though. Nice layout and clean store. Do yourself a favor and try the cuban pork wrap. Solid choice.

If I could actually get into the parking lot, I would shop here more often. The parking lot is so crowded that the only time I can use the store is right before they close. It is impossible, and much too crowded all other times. The checkers are always friendly, but a bit too fast, when they bag my groceries. They do have a nice selection of cut flowers and orchid plants. I like to try their new products, but sometimes they just don’t work out. There is never a problem with a refund however. It’s a nice place to shop, but only after 8 p.m., when parking is more available.

I like this trader joes a little bit better than Sunnyvale location because it’s not so busy in the parking lot. However they don’t carry as many of the bbq salads I like. Last time they only had one. However this location still has the dried coconut strips. Friendly service has all the trader joes staples.

This place is the same plaza as Wells Fargo so right after going to the bank, I wanted to check out the place. It’s a very cute grocery store with a lot of brands and things I don’t normally see at a Safeway’s or Lucky’s. Went to the frozen section and found Beef Phở! I love phở and so I purchased one. I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s something I’m going to do. Majority of the items are organic or very healthy for you. I went to the section with all the greens and theirs quite a selection of salads to-go for a reasonable price. You’ll find more variety of prepped salads here than other stores. I got the Lemon Chicken & Arugula Salad with spicy sauce. I totally loved it. The prices are a bit cheaper compared to the other organic grocery stores. The staff are very nice and I loved the service. They make you feel welcomed and always have a smile on. It’s such a pleasant feeling when you leave the store.

Conveniently located Trader Joe’s that has organic and local goods. Their yogurt is organic, probiotic, non-fat with Vitamin D added too! :) Parking spots closer to the door are rather tight… more spots available towards Wells Fargo/Starbucks! Employees are friendly and dressed in Hawaiian shirts with name tags! Store is quick and easy to get in and out of! :)

We’ve never met a Trader Joe’s we didn’t like, but this one is the absolute best! The employees are so kind. They know my kids by name. They are always pleasant, conversational, helpful. We are soon moving to a new spot in San Jose and the TJ’s in Campbell will be closer. I think we may still drive back to this one because it’s just that wonderful to shop here. Thanks for the GREAT service and hospitality!

Weird slot fo have a TJ. It’s behind an old building that is now a Starbucks. During the weekday it’s not as crazy as I imagined it could be. Picked up some snacks/beverages and wanted to try their jerky. Guy at the register suggested that the Buffalo was awesome(it is) and to stay away from the Salmon cause it’s way too funky. Super friendly and they got me outta there right quick.

Great TJ’s! Employees are friendly, store is clean and well stocked. Good parking. Off busy DeAnza Blvd. I love TJ’s flowers and plants. Their arrangements are well-priced and really gorgeous. I also like to visit around the holidays. Their ready-made lunches and frozen meals are always cool and fun to try when I don’t have the time to cook something. Their parmesan crisps are dangerous. Can’t buy those too often or I’m really gonna be in trouble.

Well, it’s clean, it’s small, parking is also small and tricky to maneuver both in the parking lot, and trying to leave the parking lot. I love the selections they constantly have up and organized. The employees here are eerily happy to open at 8am without gripes or complaints like you’d hear at a local Safeway or Lucky’s. They’re pleasantly helpful when you’re staring at something for a really long time. LOL like the cheese selections. Fresh mozzarella string cheese? Almost $ 5 for like a 5 piece bag. It’s pretty tasty and also pricey. They’re 2 piece individually wrapped tamales? Worth it from the freezer aisle :) I had both the corn tamales and the chicken tamales. Yum. What I don’t recommend? The sushi… they are definitely not fresh, but I usually grab lunch from work there so I don’t have to hit up a fast food joint. Sushi though? Really mushy, really sticky, really bland, really gross. NOGO! Trader Joe’s has it’s own brand of sriracha sauce. It’s not the same as the usual Rooster bottle I get from the Asian grocers. Restrooms are easy to locate toward the back on the right side upon entering the store :)
