Trader Joe's

I absolutely love Trader Joe’s and they can’t do anything wrong in my eyes other than refusing to come to Canada. I will not make a trip from Toronto to the U.S unless I stop at Trader Joe’s to pick up some delicious snacks and food. There’s always something unique and interesting to try from here and the staff are always so pleasant!

Finally was able to see what all the hype was about and im glad I did. Lots of unique items for the area. The store is small but has plenty of everyday grocery products. Many of the Trader Joe products are quite good. Fairly priced for this buyer. This place moves people through quickly with fast checkouts. We've been back several times and still think this is a great destination grocery store. Plenty of parking, expect large crowds regardless of the time of day.

Had a road trip with friends all the way from Toronto to Buffalo, NY for Trader Joe’s snacks! The store did not disappoint, offering an incredible selection of unique and delicious products you simply cannot find anywhere else.

They always have unique items and friendly service. I can’t do all my grocery shopping here but definitely get some unique things I can’t find anywhere else. The hot sausage is really good also they have nice fresh flowers for a reasonable price. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Parking is always terrible but because it’s a cool place!

The Trader Joe’s in Buffalo never disappoints! As a Canadian, I love crossing the border just to shop here — the selection is incredible and totally worth the trip every single time. The store is always well-stocked with so many unique snacks, frozen favourites, seasonal finds, and all the signature Trader Joe’s goodies you just can’t get in Canada. Every visit feels like a little adventure, and I always end up discovering something new to love. The staff are friendly, the vibe is fun, and the whole experience makes it such a treat whenever I’m in Buffalo. If you’re a fellow Canadian who loves Trader Joe’s, this location is absolutely worth the border run!

Visiting from Canada, always heard about the mystical Trader Joe's. So obviously had to stop by to see what the hubub is all about. Wasn't disappointed The best was I can describe them is just to say they give off a very Whole Foods vibe but with super reasonable prices. Stocked up on lots of snacks and prepared foods. The service is extremely helpful and readily available (think almost like an apple store). Their checkout is also very fast and they're always jumping onto cash when the cues start building up. Will definitely visit again when visit Buffalo area

Everything here is amazing! They have unique things that you don't find at your average grocery store. Some things are so special and rare - it will blow your mind how good everything is. Every time I go there, they have new items - they are constantly introducing new products which keeps shopping here always a pleasure and full of tasty surprises. I shop here often and love it. For one year in the past, I lived in an area where there wasn't a Trader Joe's close - I think it was a couple hours away so I never went, and I always missed it. If you have never been here you must go asap - so many good things to explore and try. Enjoy!

Not a big grocery store but always packed with customers especially Canadians like us, cross the border to US for Trader Joe. Yes, I admit I like their frozen prep meals, snacks, sauces, can drinks etc…..all taste so good. For me is first-time here…..not really impressive of the store here but my daughters have been many times, they like the groceries here very much, will comeback here again & again.

Trader Joe's in Buffalo, NY, is a popular destination for Canadians from the Niagara region who are lucky enough to have this store just across the border, as Trader Joe's does not yet operate in Canada. Like most TJ's locations, it delivers on the brand's hallmark offerings, including an excellent variety of frozen and dry goods, along with unique snacks and pantry staples. However, there are notable differences compared to Trader Joe's stores further south. One major area where this location falls short is in fresh produce. For example, beloved items like the convenient four-pack of artichokes are unavailable here, which can be disappointing for those looking for specific favorites. The store is often extremely busy, which detracts from the usual intimate, friendly vibe that Trader Joe's is known for. The smaller size of the store adds to the congestion, and this lack of space means that customers may miss out on the personalized interactions with staff that make TJ's shopping experience stand out elsewhere. Parking is another challenge. Situated on a corner, the parking lot feels cramped and, at times, hazardous, particularly during peak hours. While this location provides much of what makes Trader Joe's loved, such as its innovative and affordable products, these logistical challenges can make the shopping experience less enjoyable compared to other locations. For Canadians who view it as a special treat, though, it's still worth a visit--just be prepared for crowds and a bit of parking stress! Saluti

Me: Oh, sure. Let's go to Trader Joe's. They can't be as good as everyone says but they must be nice. Me, After: oh lord. We need to bring a cooler next time* and budget more for purchases and get more bottles of the Everything But The... toppings. Excessively friendly staff. I hope they never install a self-checkout. I will be back.

Ambience 10/10. I usually hate grocery shopping but the music and friendly staff make it fun, even! Really kind people, good food and snacks for affordable prices. I hope they open one up in orchard park because Trader Joe's is where it's at. Dark chocolate almonds

Made a quick trip across the border for Trader Joe's! I've been a fan of their snacks for a while now, and I got to stock up on many of my favourites (lightly coated dark chocolate almonds!!). It was packed inside of the store, but the lines moved quickly, and the staff were extremely friendly.

I get out here about once a season, which is truly not enough, but makes the trip to TJ's even more exciting. Some of my favorite products are there nuts (love the ones coated in almond butter), the fresh produce (you can find mini versions of all the veggies - fun for kids), seasonings (classic Everything bagel, pickle, pizza, ranch - all so good), and the candied ginger (fantastic in a carrot cake). The store is always spotless and the staff are friendly as ever. Plus checkout lanes are nice and quick.

Like any other Trader Joe's this is another well stocked store with friendly employees. We picked up yogurt and a few other things that we forgot while at the grocery store. Shared parking lot.

Trader Joe's is Trader Joe's! Great selection of items. Best place buy your flowers beautiful and very reasonable priced. The store is always packed no matter what time to go. But will say the lines move fast. I would probably spend more if I had more time to look around, but yea you have to keep it moving in there. Always find some new gem of an item. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

It's always fun to visit Trader Joe's, small store, but plenty of unique items. Of course, those seasonal items grab you every time because you just want to try them before they go off the shelves. Love their Japanese frozen rice. Service is amazing, there's always plenty of staff walking around, stocking, and willing to answer questions. Apparently they'll let you sample anything but I've never done that. Always clean, even the bathrooms.

I'm from Toronto and crossed the borders to do some shopping. This trader joes is my last stop before heading home. I've been to the other trader Joe's at Rochester and it's a bit farther. This one is the one that is Canadians mostly hit up at. And because of this, stuff gets sold out pretty quickly. I was just browsing and noticed that some items were at the Rochester location but not at this one. Like the truffle aioli and the ube mochi pancake mix. The staff is overall friendly and just as nice as any other trader joes location though. Only cons is that items might be sold out quickly.

Trader joes is a very unique store with so many specialty items you can only find here. This location on the boulevard is very nice, clean, and nice staff. Staff are always kind and helpful. I love trying new things they offer. There are so many things I love including the mini sheet cake, beef and broccoli, orange chicken, seasonal watermelon sparkling drinks etc. So many easy dinner meals and snacks. Lots of fresh and organic produce at good prices Just go and try everything until you find your favorites, you won't regret it. It's always busy but they have you in and out.

Love Trader's Joe. Everyone's friendly. Love all the products they sell, reasonable price too. Store was spacious and clean

Corn bread from Trader Joe's Easy to follow instructions. Final product review-expected it to be better. The flavour is ok, not too sweet. But the texture is too grainy. Would have been better if it turned out smooth and softer consistency. Would look for alternatives to this one.

Prices are a bit high but I like shopping there. The atmosphere is different than other grocery stores. It can get crowded but the checkouts always move fast....and the people checking you out are cool. And they put your groceries in a great reusable brown bag with handles. A special touch that goes a long way. I like the Trader Joe's brands and have gotten hooked on a few items like the Multi-seed Tamari Rice Crackers.....which I highly recommend for their light airy crunch and slight soy sauce flavor. They go really well with the Trader Joe's eggplant and garlic dips. Many of their items have ingredients that are good for you, they have vegan, gluten-free and other options that may be hard to find elsewhere. Easy parking in a plaza lot, the cool vibe, great selections make this my go to store.

It's my favorite time of year! Springtime at Trader Joe's! When the bins of flowers and plants arrive! I saw a post the other day that the spring time plants and flowers arrived and I wanted to see for myself if they were in! It was true! I walked in the door and felt like I was in heaven as I was met by bins and bins of flowers and plants! It felt like I was in a botanical garden! I of course was captivated by the orchids that came in a beautiful white pot! I knew I had to get them! As a new plant enthusiast, I wanted to try to grow some orchids to add some flowers to my house! As I strolled along the wall of flowers, I noticed my favorite kind of roses! My husband bought me these country time roses for Valentine's Day a few years ago and they were the best roses I had ever received! They lasted such a long time and stayed just as beautiful as the day I bought them! I knew I had to get these beauties! I mean, just look at this color!!! I definitely recommend Trader Joe's and their flowers! If you never have tried them, you need to! They will change your life!

I don't know what was happening when we went but it was super busy! The store is well equipped. Plenty of items which we would never get in Canada. Picked up a few spices! Ample amount of parking. All cash registers were open so the lines did move along quicker.

Never been here EVER! Boy was I surprised! What a great little store packed with so much. When I was looking for a specific item, Jacob was able to tell me exactly where it was and also gave me a mini tour of the layout. I can't believe the variety this little store has. This certainly was a pleasant surprise.

I always enjoy going into Trader Joe's... there's just something about this place... feels like a small neighborhood market... friendly people and high quality products. I found some new things to enjoy like cheese bread and purchased some of the staples like eggs, cheese and lotion. This site always looks nice, well stocked and ready for customers.

Love. Love. Love. The dark chocolate peanut butter cups are so delicious. The frozen cauliflower gnocchi is amazin!!! Staff was so respectful and gave good food recommendations. Everyone should come here!!!

I drive to Buffalo to get my Trader Joe's grocery. I just enjoy going here-their food quality, selection, the taste and pricing are the best! Trader Joe's for me is like a candy shop and I just love to try their new additions that come in time to time but my top favorites are: Fried cheese ravioli Korean pancakes so so good Seafood paella you gotta tweak it a bit and it tastes so good Mandarin chicken Kung pao chicken Chicken and shrimp bowls Tamales Lightly smoked salmon tinned Chicken wontons with their gyoza sauce Mac and cheese balls are so good French onion soup Salmon burger and chicken chili lime burgers Shrimp fried rice Cauliflower gnocchi Almost all their frozen pastas are great. I'm also addicted to their sauces, dips and seasonings-My favorites are the pimento cheese dip, eggplant and garlic dip, salsa verde, chili onion crunch, bomba sauce, everything bagel seasoning, elotte seasoning, truffle aioli and their peri peri sauce is to die for. I haven't tried much of their of their desserts but my absolute favorite are the mini hand cones, their cookie butter, their dark chocolate pb cups are the best, my daughter loves their moochi and the mini chocolate lava cakes are great. Ooo and I have to mention their dried spicy mango, their chili lime almonds and the peanut butter filled pretzels these are a must try! We can't have a TJ review without appreciating their cheese selection and floral department both so fairly priced. This location has great friendly staff. And they always have plenty of cashiers which makes the checkout very quick. I guess just writing this review is making me hungry-I'm off to making myself a Korean pancake see you guys later and thanks for reading my review.

Trader Joe's is cool. I wouldn't be able to do all of my grocery shopping here, but it's a neat place to to get the essentials and explore some fun products. I got a frozen flatbread pizza from France, some Indian veggie burgers, dill pickle mustard, and chocolate covered pretzels all for... $13! Their prices seemed pretty good from what I saw. The store was clean, well organized, and the staff was friendly.

So I am a frequent flyer here. They have ok Covid precautions. Not great. Probably could have organized their traffic flow better. Maybe had aisle directions and the weird checkout has people standing near each other and going back and forth. Very odd process. But they still have the best fresh flowers in town. Not the bouquets, those are meh. But the bunches of tulips or lilys etc? Terrific. And the price is right. You can pick up two bunches and make a great bouquet on your own. They also have these seasonal treats that are bite size little pieces of cake. Currently they are raspberry. I recommend. Easy parking remains. Update 43 2021

The location isn't completely ideal, in terms of parking. The prices are decent compared to most stores not a whole lot cheaper though after assessment. My go to items are always sold out or not in stock . Customer service can be a hit or miss depending on the days you shop.

I was thrilled to hear that a Trader Joe's finally opened in this area. I've been a fan for years after living in the NYC area for many years. I am happy to report that it is the standard layout and product offering in other locations I've visited. The decorations are super cute and catered to the area with a giant Buffalo statue dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and face mask because of the pandemic. If I had to sum up Trader Joe's in a few sentences I'd say they are a smaller grocery store with mostly novelty/healthyish items that are almost all private label house brands. They do offer staples but many items are staples with a twist that make eating in or making lunches for work much more fun! They also excel in frozen meals/ meal kits that are delicious and have a lot of ethnic variety. There are also a lot of different and cool snack foods. Finally, have fresh flowers, specialty seasonal items, toiletries and body care items. Best of all their products are pretty affordable and won't break the bank. Some of my house favorites are: -Orange chicken- frozen foods -chicken quesadillas- Frozen foods -olive tapenade- there is a refrigerated one and also one in a jar, both delicious -dark chocolate peanut butter cups -scandanavian swimmers- gummies -cheese section- in particular the unexpected cheddar -gluten free bagels -cookie butter -trail mix made with almonds, cashews and dried cranberries -frozen chocolate covered banana slices- you would swear it's ice cream! During covid the store is limiting how many people can enter at once. People wait outside and associates are there to monitor capacity but the lines move quickly. Upon entering you are given hand sanitizer and a cart wipe. Everyone is wearing a mask, even the Buffalo statue, and the store feels safe. Last, make sure to bring your own shopping bags. You can buy some if you forget yours. Trader Joe's was one of the first stores to mandate this. I hope more locations open soon in the southtowns!

Never in my life have I felt passionate about a grocery store (not even Wegmans... sorry WNY-ers). That is, until I stumbled into Trader Joe's for the first time! I only go every few weeks or so since this is the only Buffalo area location and it's about 20 minutes away from me. But, boy, is it worth my while every time I go in! Their assortment of flowers and plants is beautiful. The workers are so kind and helpful. And I really love the system they have in place regarding their products. A lot of products here are seasonal and fleeting, they don't stay longer than a few months. But I really like this! Not only do you have something to look forward to for the next season, but you're also reminded to enjoy the little things while they last. What they lack in pantry staples they make up for in produce and easy meals found in the freezer aisles. I think I need a designated Trader Joe's buddy to go to this motherland of a grocery store with.

Like Yelp, Trader Joe's is my happy place! I wish there was a location in Toronto. It's one of my must-stop-shops (that was a mouthful) when we travel across the border. Their products are super unique, budget-friendly and a favorite among chefs and foodies. As a baker and home cook, I enjoy experimenting with new ingredients and flavors, and I try to buy organic and fair-trade products as much as I can. Each time I visit, there are new and clever takes on classic products that are very exciting to see! I always stock up on freeze dried strawberries and raspberries for baking, a few of the Pound + solid dark chocolate bars, and the cookie butter, which is truly addictive. I rarely buy packaged cookies, but Trader's Joe's Speculoos cookies are fantastic with a cup of coffee. Another new product that caught my eye are the old fashioned waffle cones. I tried several brands from our local stores, and never found one I liked. Trader's Joe's has a subtle vanilla flavor that doesn't taste artificial and stays crispy. I was worried they would be crushed by the time we got home, however, they are packaged in pink cone shaped Styrofoam, so every cone is perfect! They also have super cute and cool greeting cards for only 99 cents! Love, love, love shopping here!

I can't believe I've never reviewed TJ's before! It take us like 40 minutes to get to TJ's so we sort of make a trip out of it every time we go. I love to cook and am always looking for different foods (even seasonal) that you wouldn't find at other stores. TJ's typically has a lot of these unique and fun foods and ingredients. There are some things I love and some things I stay away from at Trader Joe's but for the most part I love it. The staff is wonderful, talkative and so helpful. The products are marketed in such an inviting way with the beautifully branded packaging. I hate to admit it but the packaging makes me buy things I normally wouldn't! There are a lot of items I buy every time I go like the balsamic glaze, canned dolmas, olives, indian samosas in the frozen section, dumplings (even though I make them homemade, sometimes I get lazy), Tuscan wine cheese, small rice crackers and cookie butter. I'm sure I've missed a lot but you get the point. If you haven't been there yet, go!

Every time i go to a Trader Joe's its like bliss for me. I always walk out with a handful of bags. My bill is always $100+ i love going here to pick up goodies. You guys have it all. The Buffalo location is smaller than the ones i usually go to but they do have alot of stuff. It is very packed with customers and the staff are fast like line ups wise it goes really fast. I like the cold sandwiches I always go for the vegetable wrap which always is near sold out. I grab at least 5 everytime I go. I enjoyed my time there and will come back A+++

Trader Joe's is one of those places where you go in with the mission to buy that one item and you come out with 30. I love this place and I often find myself buying more than I actually need. There are a lot of organic options as well as ethnic options. Prices are fairly decent. The staff has been wonderful during these tough times. There's always one who would give you hand sanitizer when you walk in as well as a wipe. Their customer service is great. I've been going often because I'm obsessed with everything pumpkin and that stuff is in season. I highly recommend the pumpkin pretzels!!

A little hectic here. A good amount of parking on the outside, but the store is a bit small on the inside. The weekends are really busy and you end up bumping into people; no fun. They have some interesting items here that are organic and unique in their flavors. Stock was a mixed bag. We were looking for their flavored water and they were out of stock. Some of the chocolates were out of stock. The staff at the checkouts are a bit odd. A lot of them like talking to each other and ignoring the customer. I rather just go to a self checkout, but that just doesn't exist here.

Also known as Traitor Joe's. Because they're sort of traitors to the whole chain. So popular and yet so substandard. I'm not a fan of TJs anywhere really, but this is the worst one I've been to. Hardly any free samples (on the 5 or 6 visits of mine), although when they did have samples they were delicious. The water that I go to TJs for in Houston and other places, is always sold out here. Always. And it's also literally, not kidding, literally, twice as expensive in Houston. Dollar General sells the same water - 20 cents more expensive than TJs in Houston, but 30 cents cheaper than TJs of Amherst. Why? Similar story with lots of other products too. Wait times can be annoying. Hipster levels very high. Customers can be absolutely awful. Parking lot can be a zoo. Getting in and out can suck. Road rage aplenty. One star.

Remember, Trader Joe's is still a chain. It's inexpensive, but also doesn't open in very accessible places sometimes. Case in point - why did they choose Amherst? As some others have said, things go out of stock here quickly. It's a smaller store, so that's understandable. But, since it might be a trek to drive to the location, heed warning. That said, you'll always find something you didn't know you were looking for - snacks or products and such. In my experience, things are really hit or miss. I've gotten some products that have been so awful I have to throw them away (Cacio e Pepe sauce is one I remember being awful). Sometimes they're great. At least it's cheap to try them, but it's sad when you're promised a big game and all you get is bland nothing less or worse. Staff are always nice and friendly. Let them unionize if they want.

Another reason I go to Trader Joe's: SPECULOOS COOKIE BUTTER. The place is a bit smaller than the one's I used to go in west coast, but since I moved in Buffalo I'm so happy to find one close to my new home. This place very clean, well stocked and organized. Thankful for the employees efforts during this pandemic to keep everyone safe. They have people standing by the front door handling you a sanitizing wipes and a sanitized cart and maintaining social distancing. I always enjoy going here and finding new and great items. Plantain chips and breadsticks is also I must get everytime. I got couple succulents too for $2.99.

If you want a good shopping experience during this pandemic, go to Trader Joe's on a Monday Morning. Only about 30 people in the store at once, they have sanitized carts on hand, shelves are fully stocked (yes they had toilet paper) and a full staff so you can cash out quickly and be on your way. While they might not have every product you need (please start carrying iceberg lettuce and breakfast sandwiches) they have high quality meats, produce, frozen foods, bakery items, even alcohol to get you through the week. I would list my favorite items to buy, but there are so many, so send me a message if you would like to hear them all. And the staff.....so professional yet friendly, which is greatly appreciated because shopping can be stressful with a mask on and having to stay within 6 ft of others. Kudos Trader Joe's-I'll continue to give you my business!

TJ's reminds me of a Lexington Coop. They sell alot of organic foods, that range from produce to meats. 95% of the store items is their own name brand things. You can find alot of neat foods here, I love their fried fruits especially the ginger. The prices is a little bit higher than a typical Tops grocery store. But the quality of the products is worth the extra price.

Trader Joe's isn't my primary grocery store, but there are a few items that I go here for that I just can't get anywhere else. Here are my MUST HAVE products: *Animal Crackers - I don't know why their brand tastes so much better than other animal crackers, but they are one of my favorite snacks! *Chocolate - Mini Milk Chocolate Candy Bars can be found near the check out and they are so rich in flavor and they're the perfect treat. *Chicken Chili Lime Burgers - These can be found in the frozen section and they make for a delicious dinner. Super easy to cook and I've not be able to find a recipe that tastes as good as these. *Butternut Squash Tortellini - Oh my goodness. If you want a savory Italian dish, these are ideal. Whenever I eat these, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. I want to keep eating them because they are so good, but they are very rich and a little sweet, so make sure you don't over do it (like I've done once or twice). *Flowers - Trader Joe's has the BEST flowers. It doesn't matter the time of year, and if I could hi use rate them on their floral section alone, I'd rate them a 5 Star. They're inexpensive, beautiful and they last much longer than other flowers sold in other grocery stores. I can't get all of my groceries from Trader Joe's, but there are certain products such as the ones that I mentioned above that keep me coming back.

It's the first time I've been to this location and I have to say it was quite busy. I found it difficult to move around this large store due to all the staff working in the isles and all the customers milling about. Just arrived at a bad time i guess. Lot's to look at and very interesting products to choose from. The staff I had interacted with were super friendly and most helpful. I would like to return again sometime when it's not so busy and explore further. Quite an adventure and I did leave with some food products I'm enthusiastic to try soon.

I never went to Trader Joe's in NYC since it was always very crowded. The first time I came to Trader Joe's is at this location, less than a month ago. This location is super clean, has a parking lot and friendly and welcoming staff. They have both carts with wheels to push around as well as baskets. I also love their paper bags, they're recyclable and reusable. I visited during a Saturday afternoon. It was not very crowded, but it also wasn't empty. They had white grape juice samples which was delicious as well as a couple other sample stands. I sampled other things as well and they were all very delicious, but my favorite was the white grape juice! I fell in love with Trader Joe's when I saw that bananas were 19cents each and a pack of assorted 12pc macaroons for 5$! They also have a good selection of meats, veggies, fruits, and etc to choose from. It is also very well organized. I was honestly very surprised how nice and affordable Trader Joe's is and I think it's now my go to supermarket.

I love to check out this place once every few months at minimum. The location is super convenient. Parking is always easy to find. The staff is always friendly and helpful. They always switch up their product offerings to keep things fresh. I've purchased so many things here from cider and dip to dog treats and flowers. The line due to covid-19 leaves a bit to be desired. My last two trips were at least a 15 min wait but I can totally understand. They also offer wipes and sanitizer at the door.

What I'm about to say is very controversial in these party. Why isn't Trader Joe's the country's most beloved grocery store? Why is it Wegmans? I say that because I could literally buy everything in the store and host several soirees and it would cost be 50 percent less than a shopping spree at Wegmans. The employees are always friendly and the offerings are always supreme. I like their samples as well. Check this place out and fall in love with it.

Love the different spice blends, gluten free products and the wonderful recipes available. Worth the drive

Out of stocks!!!!! The inconsistencies with the available inventory have truly ruined my shopping experience. The wild caught salmon is never in-stock. The floors are sticky and the plants are always dying. The store never smells like the eucalyptus I have come to know traders joes to have. Every time you ask an associate, they simply say, "it's on the truck tonight." I drive 30mins just to come here and discover that the product is unavailable. Just close the damn store!!!!!! I will now be taking my business to Wegman's.

I definitely had a pre mindset misconception about Trader Joe's - that it was an overpriced health food grocery store. That definitely isn't the case, and I am so glad I did a walk through the entire store the last time I shopped here. I would definitely stay away from their prepackaged foods, I bought a veggie hummus wrap for $4.99 and it was bread, lettuce mix (I'm sure from a bag) and hummus. I could have done 10x better had I bought the ingredients myself. I did end up getting a basil pesto chicken wrap that was SO so so good for $4.99. I learned, don't go in hungry, that's when you buy the prepackaged goods that aren't always the best for you. During my walk through the store, I walked down the freezer section which did not disappoint. I ended up getting bags of stir fry quinoa mixes, frozen spiralized carrots and zucchini - things that I've been buying fresh from Wegmans, then when they go bad in a few days, regret buying. I was super excited to find mini somoas in the freezer aisle as well, I took them to work and they were a hit! One thing from Trader Joe's that have been my go to now that I have a personal trainer, and have a meal plan to go off from - is the ONE Protein Bars. Trader Joe's has been the only place I can find them at low cost other than Amazon, and I am not a Amazon fan so Trader Joe's it is. Their Maple Glazed Donut flavor is my favorite, and the shelf is always stocked. Their meat and cheese sections fell short for me, which is fine considering I'm weeding these things out of my diet. The produce section was bright, colorful, and everything looked fresh. I wish some of the bananas were more ripe when I came in, I had to buy elsewhere for those. Now that I have a reason to be out in this area, I will definitely be back to Trader Joe's soon!

I come here for the wonderful produce and much more. Where else in WNY can you purchase the famous Kringle from Racine, Wisconsin. But you must try the Cauliflower pancakes. You will not be disappointed. They are only in stock thru The holidays

I love Trader Joe's! :D The store here is a bit smaller than the ones I'm used to in Seattle, but they have almost everything! The produce section is a bit small, but everything they have here is fresh. I also really love that they have a wide section of gluten-free and organic options. They have a lot of different kinds of gluten free pastas (brown rice, chick pea, beans, etc.) and soy products (soy ice cream, soy sausage, etc.). Ooooh, and the snacks! I walk into Trader Joe's with 1-2 items on my shopping list and end up getting a bag full of gluten-free snacks and organic sweets to try. They do a lot of food samples, so make sure you try some of the food they're promoting. They also have free coffee in the back (small cups but still), in case you need a little caffeine. Personally, I think the Trader Joe's brand dark chocolate peanut butter cups are the best I've ever had - we always have a container in the house just cause!

(3.5) ~ good overall Trader Joes. It's slightly smaller than others I've been to, so it doesn't have as large of a selection. But it should have most of the TJ items you crave;)

My first time at Trader Joe's, but not my last! I cannot believe it I took so much time to visit TJ, lol. Came here while shopping nearby for some groceries. They have an amazing selection of groceries, bakeries and their specialty nuts. Was amazed by the variety of fruits, vegetables, salads and ready to go meals they have. I got their chocolate babka and seasonal pumpkin spiced seed nuts, a must buy also the babka! Other than those we got the general grocery items, the quality is very good! Can't wait to visit again

Trader Joe's is my favorite place! I love it because I have found the perfect time to go where it's not too busy and I can browse all the fun gluten free options. Wegmans is always too busy, large, and overwhelming for me. Plus I usually find everything I need here for a great price. Some faves: Everything but the bagel seasoning Produce (esp avocados) Nuts Protein bars Nut butters!! Meat Unique cheese for charcuterie boards Plantain chips All the dips The staff is always awesome. 4 stars because they don't have a Instacart type option but I feel like that would go against the Trader Joe's vibe *shrug* would be oh so convenient tho.

I'm a huge fan of Trader Joe's. As a grad student, I managed a $30/week grocery budget shopping at TJ's. People talk about how it can be expensive and that's not untrue. But, if you make an effort, there are many healthy and reasonably priced options. Even if you're on an extreme budget, you can use some minimal planning to manage nicely shopping at TJ's. I'm a fan of the frozen meals that they offer. Sometimes I just don't have the energy or organization to get my weekly meals together. So it's nice to have some healthier pre-made meals that don't break the bank. We're talk $2-$3 vs. the $4-$6 for the healthier brands at Wegman's. There is a huge variety of options, including for our furry family members. So it is entirely possible to make TJ's a one-stop shop for most of your grocery needs. L The location here is similar to the one that I frequented in Cleveland except that it's bigger. Basically the same number of aisles just on a larger footprint so you have more room to navigate. Parking is easy and the location is convenient. No reason not to check it out if you haven't.

I love Trader Joe's! First, the staff are the friendliest and most helpful of any grocery store in the area. I've been to other grocery stores and asked where something is and gotten either a look of annoyance or the reply "I don't know." (Not that I expect someone to know everything, but they could easily find out). At TJ, they are not only quick to help you find what you need, but are friendly and never look annoyed when doing it. The produce is fresh. Good options for heathy, whole food at a reasonable price. GTs kombucha is $2.99 a bottle versus $4.99 a bottle at Whole Foods (only place cheaper is Aldi at $2.89). Also, the frozen food here are the only frozen dinners I like. The stacked eggplant parm is better than most restaurants, and for a little over $3, that's a great deal. The Indian chicken curry meal is great as well. Aside from food, they also have great flowers and succulents for low prices. And beer is sold as a pack or individually so you can mix and match.
