Trader Joe’s

The best place to pick up flowers in town! Beautiful choices and so inexpensive! They have had daffodils for $ 1.49 a bunch all month! Love the coffee which is always hot and ready to sample and great ready made salads!

When I first heard about Trader Joe’s, I was skeptical. A store that was better than Publix? That was hard to believe. But my fiancé (now wife) took and me to check it out.
Trader Joe’s: where have you been all my life?! This place is my favorite grocery store in town. Fresh fresh produce and meats, to flowers and wine, this place has the goods. And for their low prices, it simply can’t be beat.
The only downside is that there aren’t a lot of options. Want pickles? You get 2 choices. But for 95% of your shopping needs, you don’t need to go anywhere else.
They’ve also got a great return policy. Try something and don’t like it? Simply bring it back no questions asked.
It’s all about the details in this place. Every single sign is hand written. No mass produced, generic looking signs here.
And $ 3 Trader Joe’s wine ain’t such a bad bargain either!
Whether you’re shopping for your home, office, or a party, visit Trader Joe’s. Not only will you get high quality food, but it’s at an unbeatable price.

I don’t know what to say about Trader Joe’s that hasn’t already been said. As many have already mentioned, their prices just can’t be beat and they’re easier on the conscience then some big box alternatives (starts with W and ends with mart).
They don’t carry too many brands that aren’t theirs but when they do, it’s a treat. For example, they carry Applegate Farm lunch meat at 4 plus change a pack which is at least a dollar cheaper than other places around town. *This is where I’ll insert my gratuitous plug for this brand* Highly recommended if you’re a fan of turkey or ham sandwiches, that you try this option (antibiotics free, gluten free, casein free, organic).
My go to when I shop here is the frozen food aisle which is full of their own brand convenience meals which are surprisingly good. Also, their wine section is a must when wining and dining a group. Friendly staff, fresh produce, and good food. That’s just Trader Joes for you.

Wow! It was like the holidays at checkout-​reminded me of Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping. It was a little bit after 3pm on Saturday and the store was mobbed! I wonder if it was the mad rush for buying flowers for Valentine’s or the cold air outside that drove the crowds in to shop at the same time? Flower selection is good here, and the prices are too! Love their orchid selections here. The roses were flying off the shelf — can’t beat the $ 12 for a dozen price, I guess. Got my usual stuff-​milk, yogurt and my all-​time favorite — the Japanese fried rice. It’s my go-​to rice when I’m in a pinch. It has carrots and edamame, good enough for a stand alone meal or to go with any main entrée. Also got a good deal
on the navel oranges at 79 cents a piece. Happy to shop here for fruit and veggies too. I also get my olive oil here. Reasonable prices and despite the long checkout lines, today’s shopping experience was good.

If your looking a unique burger joint this is the place for you. From avocado to bbq onion ring burgers they have it as well as tasty shakes!

Trader Joe’s, how I love thee.
There’s no place better for shopping on a budget than Trader Joe’s. And yes, I’m quite aware that, «money isn’t everything,» but for the quality of produce, meat or anything TJ-​branded in the store, it’s quite ridiculous the value you receive here.
I’m obsessed with a few takeaways here: the yogurt cups, the fresh pastas and the cabinet/​pantry stocking-​stuffer sauces. Seriously, all of these aforementioned items are TJ’s branded and they are as decadent as they come.
If you’re looking for great wine and beer you’re in luck, too. I’m always on the lookout for outstanding beer singles and here at TJ’s you’ll find some top-​notch options.
Oh, and the banana’s are 19 cents a piece. TJ’s will even please the monkey man in all of us.

Bottom line: Trader Joe’s is the indisputable winner at selling organic produce and products for affordable prices.
In the nearly three year here, I’m seeing a strong (and well deserved) cult-​like following for Trader Joe’s #763 here in Tallahassee. I’m convinced that Trader Joe’s places enormous importance on hiring «the right employee». Everyone at this Trader Joe’s — and any others I’ve been to has been very outgoing, effervescent even. They are «look you in the eye» charming and very friendly and accommodating. They are believers. It’s almost as though customers come to shop because it’s where their friends work.
Trader Joe’s REALLY is as good as it gets. Yes, it’s a chain — but you can’t summon this purchasing power without being a national powerhouse — and Trader Joe’s is JUST that!
For me, the big strengths at TJ’s are the cheese selection, the italian fruit sodas, the Ginger Snaps (there is no better cookie out there — that’s a fact), the Naan (shipped in from India), the tomatoes (shipped from Holland (I know!)), three-​buck chuck wine bottles are steals at three times the prices, and on and on and on.
The pre-​fab meals themselves are fantastic.
I’m going to stop now, since I’m starting to look like some sort of Trader Joe’s marketing plant (ha — which is funny — Trader Joe’s pretty much advertises by word of mouth!)
I’ll leave you with this:
There’s a plastic lobster hidden in the store. have you found it?

Trader Joe’s is by far one of my favorite stores; and of the ones I have been to this is probably my favorite location. It is very clean, the crew is superb, the store Captain is always friendly and quick to help. The selection of items is fantastic if you are a celiac. My only complaint is this location is quite small. If it were a larger TJs I would certainly give it that 5^th star.

Excellent fruit and veggie section, especially the pre-​made salads. Lots of gluten free products and their prices are VERY reasonable considering that they are known for being a healthier grocery store.
I love all the specialty products they have depending on the time of the year. I just picked up their Pumpkin Spiced Pumpkin Seeds along with some other pumpkin products (as it is pumpkin season) and I can’t wait to try them all. I sampled the pumpkin bread pudding in the store and it was delicious!
Workers were very pleasant and professional and even took the time to search in back to see if they had anymore pumpkin bagels left. They did! Yaaayy me!!!
I had no issues finding a parking spot although it didn’t seem to be rush hour when I went a around 6:30. Will be coming here more often from now on.

Woohoo! I have a Trader Joe’s in my hood.
I’ve shopped at TJ from time to time when I lived in another state. But I come to this location much more often because it’s super close to me.
I’ve recently discovered their salads section that offers pretty decent Asian salads ranging from Vietnamese, Thai to Japanese. That deff makes a quick delicious meal. On my recent trip, I got some orange/​mango/​peach juice, Sriracha bacon jerky (it’s the shit!), dried mango slices, plantain chips and a bottle of moscato. I was happy with the stuff I got and want to come back and get some goat cheese to go with my wine. Let’s not forget abt TJ’s fresh flowers! I’ll have to get some of those in the future.
This particular location is convenient. Store is bright and clean. Staff are always super nice and friendly. It’s a small shop I have to admit so it doesn’t have everything I need. But that doesn’t make TJ less awesome though and I’ll soon become the duchess!

Trader Joe’s is a single man’s bff. My freezer is so packed with pizzas imported from Italy, veggies imported from France, cheese cake and coconut milk chocolate ice cream. I wash my hands with TJ soap, and always have some cold TJ beer in the fridge, and even the vitamins I take are TJ’s. I have never met Trader Joe but he is the man…:)

Pretty nice Trader Joe’s and it seems slightly bigger than the other ones I have been to. The variety also seems to be a bit greater here than the other locations. Anyway, onto the review.
Trader Joe’s is a really good spot for picking up fresh produce at not-​so-​expensive prices. There are a ton of vegan and vegetarian options at TJ’s, which is part of its mass appeal.
Trader Joe’s is also famous for its cookie butter. This particular location has all sorts of cookie butter goodness all over the store. There are cookie butter cheesecake bites!
TJ’s is a great spot to get flowers, too. They’re usually really pretty and not as expensive as they would be elsewhere.
Really good grocery store, just sad I can’t buy everything there. Still have to go to Publix when I need certain items. But, TJ’s is a great addition to the Tallahassee grocery scene!

I love Trader Joe’s as much as the next person… however, because I shop there so much, I have discovered that not all products there are created equal. Some– nay most– are exceptional in quality and price (i.e., frozen mushroom risotto (made in Italy), dijon mustard, Belgium endive, Apple Blossoms (yum!), cheese selection, wine selection and many other products. But occasionally, we come upon a dud such as any of the dried tortellini products, the frozen Sukiyaki dinner– which though rather pricey, delivers only a sweet, bland combination of meat and veggies which is lacking big-​time in vegetables, and though the package says it feeds 4, it hardly fed 2!
\Anyway, because I love the store, I keep trying new things! I just wish there were never any disappointments!

Really love the brand and some of the unique offerings like the Trader Joe’s seltzer water and kefir. I’m not sure how Trader Joe’s is able to offer the variety of foods here for less than other health food stores, but I suppose it’s just not for me to worry about now is it?
I also love the Trader Joe’s reusable bags because they are cute And unique to Florida.
I was especially happy to find the sprouted grain bread. The Ezekiel bread is not kept in the frozen section here which surprised me because I’ve never seen it stored this way. Not sure why Trader Joe’s can store it on the shelf and other stores cannot? I’m not sure if having unfrozen Ezekiel bread would make it any softer however. I was a little disappointed that some of the high-​fiber bread we bought went bad within a couple of days.

Somehow, I had never been to a Trader Joe’s before — and obviously waited too long to visit this one, despite it being under 5 miles from my house. Glad I finally made it there.
While I was prepped a bit as to what to expect, it didn’t fully hit me until I visited the store. There is a lot of unique and specialty items, and the prices are fantastic. While I won’t knock it for personal convenience, I really don’t see how this could ever be a main stop for groceries — and to be honest, why stop here unless there is something you really needed that is specific to Trader Joe’s?
I thought the various items were great, and as stated before, unique. The store was laid out very well and the presentation was clean and organized. So my assumed lack of usefulness (this may change after a few more visits) for this store isn’t a reason to ding it in stars.

Trader Joe’s is one of my all-​time favorite stores and was a life-​saver while I was recently visiting Tallahassee! I have some recently diagnosed food allergies, and Trader Joe’s is one of the easiest places for me to shop.
This is a very large store location compared to other Trader Joe’s that I’ve lived near in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. I also took my time to gaze wistfully at the wine selection as the Pennsylvania stores cannot legally carry wine in the state!
Since I know that Trader Joe’s is new for Tallahassee, here is my (long) list of recommended foods. I promise that they are all incredible!
BREAD — Tuscan Pane, Asiago Peppercorn, Challah, Naan
DELI MEATS — Applegate Smoked Turkey and Roast Beef, Rosemary Ham
CHEESE — Smoked Gouda, Chocolate Cheddar, Chevre Goat, Blueberry Vanilla Chevre Goat
CHIPS — Cheese Puffs, Cheese Crunchies, Pita, Cinnamon Sugar Pita, Sweet Potato Tortilla
FROZEN FOODS — Chicken Fried Rice, Fettuccine Alfredo, Macaroni and Cheese, Chicken Tikka Masala, Mandarin Orange Chicken
DESSERTS — Organic Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar, Organic Milk Chocolate Truffle Bar, Organic Dark Chocolate with Raisins & Pecans, Speculoos Cookie Butter, Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl

My hubby and I favorite place to buy american groceries (and some asian groceries like the dumplings or mochi ice cream). Everything is really good and cheaper than most groceries stores (the fresh produce especially). The employees are very friendly also. My hubby and I are not a drinking couple but we see they have cheap wine that seems also popular with our friends when talking about Trader Joes.
Below are things that I remember off the top of my head that we always get here:
My Asian Favs: Korean bbq short ribs, pork dumplings, pork buns. (If you want american asian food get the orange chicken)
BBQ: Go get that bbq pork in the corner by the pizza dough (Its labeled like trader joes bbq pork or something in a black tray.
Frozen Pizza: The bbq pizza, and the Miatre Pierre Ham, gruyère, and caramelized onion frozen pizza.
Frozen seafood: Coconut shrimp
Chips– Veggie chips, kettle corn popcorn (in the pink bag)
Drinks– The famous pink lemonade, and the root beer by the sushi and salad (its usually at the top right next to the aloe drinks)
Cookies– Those thin cookies lemon or coconut.
THE COCOA AND COOKIE BUTTER SPREAD!!! (The almond butter is good to)
Desserts– mochi ice creams (all flavors), the macaroons (the assorted flavor box is better), NY cheesecake, the single ice cream cone with melted chocolates covering the ice cream (I can’t remember the name).
The $ 1.50 fresh bread in the long brown bags.
The eggs are cheap also.
What I don’t recommend/​what I don’t like (at least what I can think of off the top of my head):
Their sriracha and phở.

This is a GREAT Trader Joe’s location. I’m still wondering why we don’t have one in Orlando yet.
The employees here are always very friendly and eager to assist you. Especially the ones at the tasting booth close to the back right corner.
The prices here are way better than Whole Foods. Yes, they may not have as much variety, but do you really need all that variety most times?
I especially love their bars — the ones that say, «this cranberry walked into a bar…» or «this blueberry walked into a bar…» Tee hee.

It helps that any TJ’s in the states has the same layout and good TJ’s items. It is also very plesant to visit outside New York City stores, not so crowded. I actually have a time to read the ingredients at the store and not at home. Cashier lines, normally tow lines, are always long as to the entrance in NYC but not here, very nice!
My favorites are dangerously adductive Crunchy Cookie Butter. It is great on a toast or with thinly sliced granny apple. Next is non-​alcoholic German beer, Gerstel, best priced Extra Large Organic Cage-​free eggs, and carton of organic milk ($ 3.29) and goat milk.
I also like Uncured Apple Bacon ($ 3.99! half price of any stores in NYC) and if they have smoky flavored and thick cut Uncured Black Forest Bacon, must try. Oh! My hubby loves their new coffee, Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate. Don’t forget it’s concentrated. It’s very strong if you drink it straight. My hubby mixed with hot water, 1:3(water or milk).
There are so much more but I can’t think but do stop by if you haven’t yet and try a anything and everything especially TJ’s brands. You will be surprised of its good ingredients and taste.

So cute! Much cuter than the one on sunset blvd in LA actually, but anyways.
Friendly staff, various choices in unique food items some that are just specifically for trader joes.
Most importantly healthy organic kind of item but affordable unlike whole foods. Good location and parking but can get crazy during rush hour times.
Try their beauty products (seriously) like the cocoa butter, the toner, shampoo, deodorant. You’d be surprised!!! Cheap and awesome. Try their coconut oil instead of using butter, coconut oil spray, chocolate clusters, chais and croissant/​pain au chocolat.
My only con is their already made salad choices is little. Where’s the Greek salad at? Lol
