    I love this Trader Joe's. The variety of food changes often. Food is fresh. Employees are helpful and friendly. Only wish service included home delivery. That would make it 5 stars!

    All Trader Joe's are quite similar. One room for improvement in all Trader Joe's is to add bulk bins. I think that would be a nice addition. I also find that produce at Trader Joe's is frequently packaged and sometimes even Safeway has a better selection of produce. Trader Joe's does offer many vegan items that are clearly labeled vegan. Some of the best things to get here include canned beans, organic ketchup, hummus, tofu, bread, and all in all is quite alright since prices can be fairly affordable. Staples are solid here. For produce I tend to frequent farmer's markets and love the bulk bins at Rainbow Grocery in SF yet Trader Joe's is still solid so will be back.

    I love TJ, but don't like coming here on the weekends bc it's too packed. However, I was so happy I found the mini Tote bags here! The blue and green colors are sold out, but I got a total of 7 for my nieces. Cashier said someone actually brought 40, so they have to put a limit of 10 which is still a lot. These are so cute for little girl or as a lunch bag. I only kept one for myself bc one is enough.
