“I do like a lot of their products however the massive amount of sodium in the frozen offerings is excessive.
They really need to look at this issue and take the health of their customers more seriously.
Excessive sodium is extremely bad for heart and arterial health. So things might be "organic" but if they're unhealthy in the long run what's the benefit to the customer?”
“I usually would get them a five-star but now that they're changing their hours and opening at 9:00 I will be going to whole foods to do all my shopping.”
“Just got done eating Trader Joe's "Chicken Pot Pie". What a disappointment!
Noting like the picture all. Suppose to have Large Chunks, more like a shredded
mush. Flavor is nothing to rave about. Don't waste your money.”
“I want to commend Christian at the Coral Gables Trader Joe’s for his outstanding customer service today while working at the register. He went out of his way to help me with my ticket and everything else I needed. Christian truly exemplifies what excellent customer service looks like. Thank you, Christian—you’re the best!”
“I was so sad to find out that the Trader Joe’s sliced sourdough bread isn’t real sourdough. there’s yeast in the ingredients list when real sourdough is fermented. I used to love this store and went there often. Can’t trust anyone anymore sadly so I’ll just make it myself.”
“I thought customer service was gone but after going to trader Joe's yesterday I realized it's not they just all work at trader Joe's they were so so helpful, hats off to there employees you guys are awesome and thank you for the customer service”
“If I could put zero stars, I would. I just cooked a brisket I got from Trader Joe's. It tasted awful, and it wasn't the seasonings. The meat itself smelled old and tasted nasty. What a waste of my money. I will never buy Trader Joe's meat ever again, and I am telling everyone not to buy Trader Joe's meat. Complete waste of time and money”
“I have not been a Trader Joe’s shopper due to location but since you opened the store close to my house I practically live at Trader Joe’s. Today I’m very disappointed because I had became addicted to those little pink cakes(raspberry mousse cakes) I went today hoping to get my fix and you had discontinued them, how could you!
Seasonal?? Anyway I went home without my little pink cakes, when will they be back? I did buy other food items and will continue shopping at Trader Joe’s.”
“Korean Style Beef Short Ribs (frozen), made in the USA, are absolutely horrible. If you like bones, fat and tasteless tough meat, this is the product for you. Not much edible meat in the package either (if you are so inclined). Never again. This is the worst product we have ever purchased from TJ's after many many years and we strongly recommend that it be removed from the stores as quickly as possible..”
“The instant steel cut oats I have been eating for years were discontinued last November. They took 7 minutes to cook. Now they only have steel cut oats that take 30 minutes! Yet they now have oatmeal that takes seven minutes. Everyone knows steel cut oats are better for you. I don't know if they weren't selling well or why they discontinued them. But I am very disappointed.”
“Trader Joe’s store #648 (in Rockville) is a delight to shop in because of the incredibly helpful associates like Daniel and Mark. After I survived a near fatal accident, Mark would always help me get my groceries from different corners of the store so I don’t have to walk around in extreme pain. He was most knowledgeable in efficiently getting them to my car too! Another associate Daniel, is always so pleasant and would not leave a single stone unturned, until he made sure you had what you needed. He gets stuff often from the storage if it hasn’t been put on the floor yet. He would even check for upcoming shipments to the store to assure me when exactly I can get the food item I need. I have certain dietary restrictions and these factors mean the world to me since I am often hobbling around trying to find what I need to buy. Most importantly, they are very kind with a joyful disposition and a smiling face. These are assets to the company and I, for one, only visit this location weekly, mostly because of them!”
“Trader Joe's works hard to portray an image of being socially responsible, yet they insist on carrying products made in illegally occupied Palestinian lands - despite national pressure to stop carrying them. Why is it so hard to do the right thing and take a stance against genocide? TJ's needs to STOP carrying 'Israeli' feta, Givon wines (literally made on illegal settlements in the WEST BANK), Bamba puffs, and Dorot ginger and garlic cubes.”
“Just had your Chile Relleno with Queso frozen food entree. It was delicious. I did heat it in the oven, so the coating got nice and crispy. The tomato sauce was light and was perfect with the relleno. I am a tough critic of chili rellenos, so was especially impressed. Your frozen entrees are pretty hit or miss, but this was a home run.”
“If you care about your health, please stay away.
Frozen food section imports from suspicious producers ( Greece, Italy, France) full of artificial and additives, some of them taste okay, but again, if you care about dangerous chemical, better check yourself.
Probably the worst of the worst!”
“Tell your floor people that they serve the customer and not the other way around. When in floor traffic, the floor person makes way for the movement of the customer - unless the floor person is stacking, especially the bottom shelves. At high traffic times, floor people should avoid congregating in groups for conversations. If they need a group conversation, go over to the wine section. Trader Joe's Eugene, 12.27.24 around 5:15pm. When they think their business is more important than the customer's shopping, it's as if they're flipping the bird at the customers in general. "You go around us - we don't make way for you." This is bad customer relations.”
“I want to begin by saying that Trader Joe's is my absolute favorite place to shop for groceries. However I've just reheated their Kettle Cooked Chicken soup (from the frige section) And while chocked full of carrots and onions in a tasteless chicken broth, you will be hard pressed to find chicken in it. I would guess less than a rounded teaspoon if that. No discernible chicken flavor at all. Don't waste your money on this. Very disappointing. Purchased the clam chowder at the same time; fingers crossed that it will have a clam or two in it.
P.S Was unable to upload a photo although I tried multiple times.”
“I had passed by the MINI GINGERBREAD PEOPLE cookies--- finally I bought! BEST ginger flavor and difficult to stop eating! Each guest on New Years will receive a box!
Pork chops with bone=better than I have bought anywhere!
Always buy MOVIE popcorn in red bag!
Chicken Piccata ( $8.99) is quite good.
Tarragon Chicken Sandwich- one of the better ones.

“I had not shopped at Trader Joes and was extreamly pleased. I asked an employee a question about stew beef. He wasn't sure, excused himself and in a few minutes returned with the answer. He said thanks for asking. Said her learned something good that day.
Traveling the aisles I was in awe that there was some one replacing bought items so quickly. Having moved from a rural town in North Carolina to Virginia Beach has been
quite a change for this 78 yro lady.
My funds like other people are leaving me quicker in the grocery store. That Wednesday Trader Joes adventure was sooooo nice. Hope to return.”
