Trader Joe's

I have been shopping at this Trader Joe’s for more than 20 years now. It’s the one place where grocery shopping is always fun. I don’t have to label read here for our needs, I don’t have to worry about couponing with value and quality built in, and there’s always something new to help make cooking and eating simpler/healthier/more fun/more festive- you name it. 95% of the employees are consistently happy and seem to enjoy their job- and they are a joy to interact with. 100% of the staff seem to know their stuff, are helpful, and deserve above and beyond respect from us as customers because they are the best.

I love this store. I trust the food to be of excellent quality always. I am absolutely delighted that I don't have to read labels am see items I don't want in my food. The atmosphere is always bustling with the sound of busyness of shoppers and employees always eager to assist you, and who are all quite knowledgeable about all products. I think only one of the many things I love to buy there is the spice Umami. I have to have it for all my cooking, except desserts. Trader Joe's, for me, is a fun and exciting place to go to grocery shop.

Trader Joe's is a fantastic spot for fresh flowers and delicious vegan options! Their flower selection is always vibrant and affordable, perfect for brightening up your home. Plus, they offer a great variety of vegan snacks, meals, and desserts – making it easy to find something new and tasty every visit. Highly recommend for quality and value!

I really liked it here! The flower section is huge which I love! Lots of cool products and extremely kind employees! I found many items that peaked my interest at reasonable prices! I would definitely go to this trader Joe's again some time soon!

Came by around 8:30 AM, and it was already busy (it is Ann Arbor on a weekday). The store employees were very nice and helpful! I got in and out with no issues. Very clean and organized store.

I love Trader Joe's variety and prices. The associates are super friendly and helpful. Great vegan options and I'm hopeful they'll continue to get more! I really wish it was in a better location, or that they'd open another one on the West side of Ann Arbor. The parking is a nightmare and it's always crazy busy.

Trader Joe's is always solid and you can find very unique and tasty 😋 products. They also have seasonal 🍂 items to try out. Furthermore, this specific location is easily accessible. My only complaint is the small portion sizes.

Many “cashier was rude” comments here… what a shame. This happened to me the other day. Had a cashier that was quite curt, no “how are you”/nice, small talk, wasn’t careful with my food (meats and veggies bruise) as she flung it on the wooden counter, seemed annoyed and indifferent. My arms were super full, as was cart - she couldn’t be bothered to offer to have someone help me taking things to my super nearby car on a cold, windy, and very rainy day - I will be avoiding short haired, middle aged, “Karen” vibes Asian lady from now on!! I’ve had Jaxson help me many times - he is one of the nicest, warmest people there, along with the newer hire (?), an African American gentleman (he has a really cool name, sorry I can’t recall).

Joe, truly I do love you but the Ann Arbor store has got to do something about their parking as well as their checkout lines. I don't think there's anything more they can do about their lines, as every lane is open but I'm number 12 in line. And getting in and out of this place is crazy. There is only one way to get your car in and out. We really need a back exit. The only way out is to get on Stadium Boulevard, which is busy on a weekday but a nightmare on a weekend. The food is great and there are so many interesting choices. I bought some seasoned kettle chips that taste like Thanksgiving stuffing. I wouldn't have bought them except they were giving free samples with some cranberry and topping and it was truly very amazing. Everybody is very friendly. And there are employees to help you. I will say, though at the risk of probably getting shamed, that people bring their entire families - so large hordes of people block the aisles. 3, 4 and five children deep, but I guess they enjoy trader joes as much as adults.

No matter where you go in the U.S., the Trader Joe's are comforting in their consistency. With a few nods to regional differences (beer, for example), the Ann Arbor TJ's is not much different from the Bay Area TJ's that I would go to (Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda). But now I've relocated to Ann Arbor and the A2 TJs will do just fine. It's got all the usual fair-priced products, staples such as dairy products, canned goods, frozen entrees, and some produce. I say some produce because this is one area where TJs falls short, regardless of where you are. Hard vegetables such as onions, apples, red peppers are ok. The packaged kale, too. But stay away from the green beans! Several people have noted the parking lot situation and I agree, it is a tough one. I went there on a Friday afternoon and ... big mistake. Cars snaking around the lot looking for a space to cram into. I asked one of the crew about this, saying, that what Ann Arbor really needs is a second Trader Joe's. He informed me that TJs had scouted out at least 7 locations on the West side of A2, but each one struck out for one reason or another. Stay tuned. It might happen one day and hopefully, with a bigger parking lot.

They have a chili sauce here that I love. The people working here are very nice. Service is dialed in. Everyones kind here. The place is clean and has what I need when I come in. I like the tikka they have here. Same with the breakfast potatoes

I don't know what it is exactly about Trader Joe's that makes me love it so much, but it is my favorite grocery shop experience in the area. I come here even though I have several grocery options closer to me. This store just seems to know exactly what I want to eat? Great food options, fresh and pre-prepared to have options for making a great home-made meal or having support for something fast and easy on busier days. Everything is very reasonably priced. Lots of options of things to keep in the freezer too - I like to be stocked with frozen fish, veggies, and meal sides. It's not a large store, but their selection is top tier. Produce is seasonal. Some food items and products are seasonal. They are always introducing new fun things into the mix. And I love their flowers! A more cost effective way to make beautiful bouquets. The parking lot can be a little jammed at times, but I've never had a problem finding a space. I like to go on the earlier end Friday or Saturday morning and it's not crowded!

This is a treat yourself kind of place. There is no way I could afford to do my weekly shopping here. I agree the parking situation is horrible. It's always busy and it's a maze like experience. I love the condiment aisle. Friendly service and quick lines are a plus.

Great options, competitive prices, teeny tiny parking lot! Highly recommend getting there early to snag parking and for it to not feel so congested

I stopped by the local Trader Joe's today. It's out of my way so I do not go there often. Every time if go to Trader Joe's all I can think of is unnecessary fancy Aldi. I do enjoy not having a security chain and my cart and they do not charge me for bags, I struggle with paying a bit higher of a price for a very similar generic item. I have nothing specific against this Trader Joe's. They have a clean store with a very friendly staff. BUT as a person that frequents the local Aldi, I could do without Fancy Aldi.

We need a Trader Joe's in Toledo. If you go here on a weekend the parking lot can be a madhouse. Once inside you are welcomed by an assortment of fresh cut flowers and plants. They have a unique selection of grocery items. Expect to pay a little bit more than your chain grocery store. Cheap wine, delicious bottled yellow curry, and unusual snacks are a few of my favorite things to buy. The cashiers are always incredibly friendly and efficient. I try to stop here whenever I visit A2.

Kevin is the reason I'm leaving this 5-star review. This amazing gentleman at the cash register went above and beyond, helping me put together a beautiful bouquet of roses right there at the register. Without me even asking, and without hesitation. On top of that, he complimented my outfit and asked about the occasion, making the entire experience feel personal and warm. His customer service was exceptional. If I owned a business, I'd want a store full of Kevins! Cheers to you, brother.

This is a very good Trader Joe's with a good selection of products. They had a great display of cards near the entrance that caught our attention before moving into all of the great food products and produce. They had a nice sample of the Ube Joe-Joe's cookies out, with a very friendly staff person serving them. It was a good choice for samples in our case, because we were unfamiliar with ube before this. Check out staff were funny and courteous and got us through the line and out the door quickly. The infamous Trader Joe's parking lot concept was in full effect, but we were able to snag a spot and get in and out.

Stopped off on our way to dinner to pick up our collection of nuts and wild blueberries for our nut mix snack for during the week. A short wait outside to get in and a short line to check out as well. We buy our nuts for our own mix, just so we can have hazelnut in the mix and wild blueberries too.

SO HAPPY I MADE THE TRIP!!!!!! The atmosphere the food the employees !!! 5 stars also for a small location and busy locals I was still able to shop around and get what I wanted to check out. First time Trader Joe's shopping experience I got $70 worth of snacks soups goodies a meal plants all worth it!!!!!! Quality!!!!!

I love Trader Joes and the Ann Arbor location is perfect for after work stop to grab something for dinner which is a better option seeing how it's so expensive to eat out nowadays with inflation. THE GOOD: I love the fact that Trader Joe's has quick vegan friendly meals that are so much cheaper than eating out. I can find affordable salads, frozen dinners (pasta, potatoes, veggies, etc.), soups, snacks, chips, vegan ice cream and many other healthy options available and you can eat like a king for a single meal that's under $5-6.Trader Joe's saves you so much and you get so much for reasonable prices. Here are a few of my faves: Roasted Potatoes with Peppers and Onions Penne Arrabbiata Vegan Vegetable Pad Thai Vegan Mac Vegan Bon Bons Vegan Oat Bars Vegan Pasta Bolognese Strawberry Non-Dairy Oat Ice Cream Vegan Pork Rinds Chips Canned Lentil Soup Bagged Salad and Basil and Caesar Vegan Salad Dressings THE BAD: Their vegan options have ingredients that are questionably GMO. However even if I avoid those, thankfully there are good number of alternative items to choose from. WHAT'S UNIQUE: Just this location is close to the University of Michigan and easily accessible. It's fun to shop and see how affordable a single meal could be, one time it was $4 to $5. Not bad...not bad at all.

Huge fan of Trader Joe's. I have been a shopper with them for years. Usually I frequent the Northville store however in the last couple of years having to be in Ann Arbor for other reasons. I have found myself shopping at this location more. Do I like it better? No, but it is more convenient. They do carry liquor here which is definitely a convenience that I can grab more things that I need in one location. This store seems smaller than the Northville location. Not sure if it is or it's just the layout. One thing I have noticed is that they are also always out of things that I need at this location. I'm assuming they get more customers at this store. It is pretty much always crowded when we go. The staff is pleasant and friendly just as you would expect. Great store.

This is my Trader Joe's. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Given that this is where I spend the bulk of my grocery dollars, I feel like I have to give it the full five stars. I've long loved Trader Joe's since discovering the store while living in California. Then when I moved to Albany, NY and there was no Trader Joe's, I realized how much the unique products that line the store's shelves are simply irreplaceable with other options. If that sounds like a hollow boast, pleas allow me to illustrate. There is no better whole grain pasta than the organic 100% whole wheat spaghetti and fusilli sold under the Trader Joe's brand. Full stop. Others are gritty, or hard, or turn to mush when cooked. This product is a triumph, and a value to boot. I have found no frozen string beans that can compare to Trader Joe's frozen French green beans. Giant bags filled with long, super slender beans, preserved at their peak of freshness. Sure, you can get better cultured French butter than the one sold under the TJs label. However, given the low price, there is no excuse to grill a cheese sandwich in anything less flavorful than this delicious stuff. These are just the tip of the iceberg. My kids love the peanut butter and cheese sandwich crackers for snacks. Barbara's cereals are a fraction of the price charged by the big grocery chains. During the winter they have a consistent supply of organic gold and sweet potatoes (unlike the big grocery chains). Have you tried the frozen lamb vindaloo? Not only does it pack a punch but even when reheated in the microwave it has ridiculously tender and delicious pieces of lamb. How do they do it? Anyhow, I'm a big fan. Every Trader Joe's has crappy parking. It's part of the business plan. But the warm smiles inside, along with all the delicious treats, and the low prices, make it a weekly stop. Okay. Except during the height of the pandemic when I was just doing curbside pickups elsewhere. But those were dark days to which I sincerely hope we do not return.

I give TJs a 10 out of 5. But this parking lot gets a 1 so combined this TJs gets a 3:5. It was difficult getting in and parked, very very busy. I thought a fedex truck was going to cause an accident and we had to wait forever while the driver attempted to make a left out of the shopping center. The products were amazing as always. Recommend the ube yogurt covered Jojos (get 2 boxes), the zhoug sauce in a tub (get several), the salted Carmel biscotti, limone alfredo sauce, brown sugar oat milk creamer, goat cheese Gouda wedge, Bambas (get several) and I'm kicking myself for not getting the chocolate covered Bambas! Looking forward to trying the overnight oats tomorrow

This local has a great helpful staff. The parking lot is small but I have always managed to find a spot. I bought flowers for the first time and they were very fresh. I like how they include a plant food packet.

Just like every TJ store, the parking lot and store is too small and people are crazy. There is only one way in and out of the plaza. The store was busy and I expect other shoppers to cut each other off, but it's unacceptable for staff to cut off customers. On the positive, they had lots of cashiers open.

I really have nothing bad to say about Trader Joe's. Granted they're always seeming to have people out with a pallet out stocking something at all times of the day making it a bit hard to get around, but that's really a first world problem. I'd much rather have stocked merchandise than empty shelves! The only thing I'm not a fan of is the traffic and parking in the area. It's a bit hard to get in and out of that little spot, but I remember the one in Northville used to be much harder before they moved. Now that I think about it, the ones I went to when I lived in Phoenix and Las Vegas were a pain to get around too! Other than that and them discontinuing a couple of my family's favorites (black bean taquitos and the Mexicaine Quiche) I'll always be a huge TJ's fan!

By far one of my favorite places to shop. You can't utilize it as a main grocery store but it's one you want to use often. We drive up from Toledo to come here since it's the closest one. Products are always fresh and the staff is the best. They would get five stars if they had a better parking lot.

I love Trader Joes. I like how the people here are great. I like how people here seem to know this as their trader joes. i like the food. I like everything about it. Favourite grocery store.

Trader Joe's always has fun snacks and things. And delicious varieties. However those entitled, uppity yuppie customers really pinch my neurons. These people should not shop' if they're not used to seeing people who don't look like them!The store should be bigger, so people, would not have to shop practically elbow to elbow.. And that parking lot is just a disaster. I give it two stars due to the fact that, some of the employees stare at you, and the entitled customers really are intrusive and in your space.

Love the frozen entrees! I like the variety of ethnic cuisines. Staff are super friendly and helped me to find what I was looking for. They are also careful on how they bag the groceries so delicate items don't get smashed by canned goods.

Esta tienda es genial. Hay tantos artículos orgánicos para elegir.Sin embargo, la tienda es pequeña. Está ubicado cerca de muchas tiendas otger.

As always, the staff here, are just amazing! The gentleman that helped me today was so sweet. I wasn't going to bother him, because he was walking with purpose, he immediately picked up on my looking helpless He went out of his way to stop and ask if I needed help. "Yes! Looking for the vegetable birds nests I have heard so much about!" He ran right over to the product and proceeded to see if there is anything else he could help me with. As I walked outside, he was working the door, and yell out to me, "Did you get your birds nests?" So sincerely kind. I really appreciate these kind gestures. Thank you for the consistently wonderful staff and products!

If I were on a desert island and could only take 5 things from Trader Joe's with me... 1) Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips Highly addicting and hard to put down. My all time favorite snack! And comfort food. The tortilla chips are generously coated with nacho cheese powder. In my opinion, better than Doritos. I don't know if it's extra salt, seasoning, or cheese, but each chip is just so flavorful without being overpowering! 2) Broth I use their broth in almost every soup I make at home. Tasty and adds more flavor! I love their chicken and beef bone broth. 3) Hold the Cones Mini ice cream cone! Super cute and makes me feel less guilty about indulging in dessert. Chocolate coated ice cream is also one of my favorite desserts! 4) Frozen garlic cubes Mincing garlic is an absolute chore. Takes forever and makes my fingers smell :( These garlic cubes are a life saver and really help to speed things up in the kitchen! I usually pop them out into the skillet as is once I have my cooking oil heated up, and prep the rest of my food as usual. 5) Sparkling clementine water We are on a desert island after all, but why not add a little pizzaz and make it bubbly! I love adding flavored sparkling water to juice once in a while. I recommend mixing it with Trader Joe's cans of mango juice!

One of my favorite stores to shop at always. I also didn't know they are owned by Aldi's! Makes sense since the concept is almost the same for both stores. I love to come and buy good quality food for a good price. The fresh veggies, quality meat and freezer items make this my go to place to shop for groceries 80% of the month. I have gotten to know some of the cashiers and I love the staff that work here. I've asked about items and they always have an answer for me or find someone who can answer. The only downside of the location is the parking lot. It can get crowded quick and parking can be a pain, but it's worth the trip to me!

My favorite place to shop. Always friendly and helpful staff! They go out of their way to make sure they are keeping everyone safe, extra protocols put in place for safety . The best time to go without having to wait In line is when they first open at 8am. The line usually moves pretty quickly, I've never had to wait longer than 30 mins in the peak of the pandemic (April).

Where do I begin? Let's start with how kind all the workers are! They stand at the front doors and tell people when to come in. Due to covid they only allow so many in at a time. This company actually complies with the rules/laws of what companies are supposed to do during this pandemic. No other grocer, that I know of, did this. They give you a shopping cart and off you go! The employees are located everywhere around the store so if you need anything just ask. They love to help! Not once have I ever been brushed off! One special thing I'd like to share about Trader Joe's I recently found out about. I buy my dogs treats from here. It's the only ones he will eat! Two weeks ago I bought five packages of them and all of them were stale/hard as a rock. When I asked the customer service if they could replace them, they said, "Absolutely"! No need to bring in the item(s) it's an honor system. Who does that anymore? Trader Joe's does! That's WHO! Well that completely won me over. Now whenever I get something that isn't up to standards, or something goes back, I go right to the customer service and tell them and they fix the problem. Now, go share this "hidden secret" with others! That way they will frequent your local Trader Joe's. The best grocery store in town. Edit:I forgot to add that Trader Joe's has a beautiful selection of flowers at amazing pricing that last longer than any other flowers I've purchased. I only get flowers from here! Last, they also have an amazing selection of affordable wines, so make sure to pick up a bottle.

Love this grocery store, don't love the tiny parking lot. Many unique food finds, always exceptional products at a great price.

This is a excellent place to shop. What is the deal with the parking situation here? Hard to believe that this is where Whole Foods used to be before moving into their bigger store down the road. Trader Joe's is a great place for staples, bulk food, frozen foods, heat and eat dishes, and especially reasonably priced wines. VMMV with fruits and vegetables. They do not carry every douchy wine label but their selection is diverse and their house brands are worth trying. Idiot drivers: Do not be so quick to throw up the middle finger when you come into the lot the wrong way and various people try to point it out! You stay to the right. Do not come INTO the lot in the OUT lane! Pro-tip: (free) Watching the clueless trying to park is hysterical! Enjoy!

Been able to come in to The Ann Arbor Trader Joe's a couple times on my Michigan visit. Store is clean and well stocked with all of my favorites. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Parking is a challenge if you catch the strip mall or store during a busy peak of the day. Store layout is similar to others but there seems to be it bit more aisle room to browse than my OKC, OK Trader Joe which is a plus. Seems like I'll be making this store a regular stop on my Michigan Visits.

The battle of the parking lot. If you have the patience to find a parking spot, shopping at Trader Joe's is amazing. Fresh flowers, seasonal plants, greeting cards, baked goods, prepared meals, beer, cheap wine, snacks, and regular grocery stuff is what you'll find. Also, since I've recently started attempting to go Gluten-free (not by choice, but bc the doctor), I'm excited to find so many GF options here! Like the chicken tikka masala (frozen section)! Also, their ice cream is so good. They even have a great cheese selection. I just love TJ's so much!

Trader Joe's is the ONLY PLACE I GROCERY SHOP. once you start going here you instantly know what you been missing out on going everywhere else. Almost feel like a grocery snob... I roll my eyes as I pass Kroger, Meijer and all those generic stores the sub class shoppers frequent. They have everything you need but all more healthy, more hip, and more worldly options. They sell these things called cinnamon brooms they always sell out of, but I but about 10 when I'm there and the WHOLE HOUSE smells like Christmas for months... and my car... yes I keep a cinnamon broom in my car lol. Don't forget to get your parking validated on your way out. OH and at trader Joe's if you would like to fit in with us.... WE BRING OUR OWN BAGS. Think Green people!!!

I love this Trader Joe's location! Conveniently located on the south side of Ann Arbor. Great service and great selection of food.

One year on and I still love to visit Trader Joe's! I HIGHLY recommend the following: Frozen - korma fish curry with basmati rice - yellow jackfruit curry with jasmine rice - pork gyoza potstickers (officially my favorite type of frozen dumplings) - French vanilla ice cream (super premium) - deshelled prawns with tail on (in the blue packaging) - shelled edamame beans (great to defrost and bring to potlucks) Not frozen - brewed ginger beer - crown prince natural smoked oysters - boxed Wisconsin cheddar mac & cheese - honey butter chips - dried okra chips - patisserie de chocolat cake - instant coffee dressed up in creamer & sugar - rose water facial toner - greeting cards: amazing selection, 99c each! Seasonal - Trader Joe's sipping chocolate - Cara (navel) oranges They do have some mehs and misses. For example, their seasonal caramel hot chocolate and peppermint hot chocolate mixes were rather ghastly. But I returned them with no problem. It helps that items are Trader joe branded too, because I've not been asked for a receipt to return them. I also love the way this place changes its selection all the time. Finally, invest in some good TJ eco bags to tote your stuff around. If you bring your own bags, you can fill in a slip to be entered for a lucky draw at the cashier.

Love this place! My twice monthly visit is just enough to snag all my favorites: extra virgin coconut oil, mandarin chicken, assortment of teas, trail mix, mango orange juice, fresh fruit, cornbread mix (with real corn), sweet potatoe bisque soup, blue agave, sweet potatoe fries, and more! Warning: subject to run out so buy 2 if you really use the item. Stashed away in the old Whole Foods location in a busy shopping center off Washtenaw/Stadium. Have your kids look for (hidden) Maisy to win a free prize at checkout!

Trader Joe's is great, everyone knows it's great. The only downside of this place is the line but that's because it's so great. This is more of a PSA for how awesome their gluten free breads are!!!! By far the best in the GF bread game. This location even sometimes has Italian bread which is so great for so many things. The bagels are also so good! Best GF bread brand by far

This is my favorite store in the whole wide world. First let's start with the staff. Every single employee sends hand picked. They are positive and kind. They are also very knowledgeable of the products in the store. Speaking of the products in the store, you will be hard-pressed to find something you do not like. Or maybe I should say you do not love. This is a store full of specialty items. Unique desserts frozen products and sauces. They must try for anybody in the AnnArbor area.

This is the place to buy cheese. And nuts. And a lot of other quality ingredients or ready-made meal items that can be on the pricey side at many stores. The house brand craft beers are very good and beat the price of most microbrew sixers by three or four bucks. The staff is always super friendly and eager to help you find something that's escaping your eye. If you drop bottles or cans into the return bin as you walk in they'll take your word for how many you had. You can return defective items without a receipt, and for that matter, items that are fine but just don't suit your taste. Take the plunge on those candied caper encrusted goat cheese eggplant roll-ups, risk free! It's good that TJ's has all this going for it because shopping there can be an ordeal. The store is very small for the volume of merch they carry, and it's understandably popular, especially in a town full of poor college students. So there are days when wheeling a cart down the aisle involves some very patient and artful negotiations with your fellow shoppers and those busy, breezy, Hawaiian shirted staffers. Saturday/Sunday afternoons are the worst--weekday mornings are ideal. But you shop when you have to, so if you do your marketing on weekends, brace yourself, stay patient, and think of the money you'll be saving once you get to the front of the long checkout line.

Best market ever!! Great food, great quality, and very reasonably priced. Staff and costumers are very covid cautious and its is an enjoyable shopping experience. This location, however, does tend to have a long line to get into store (due to social distancing), so i'm hoping they find a way to speed up the line!

Trader Joe's in my little piece of healthy bargain heaven. Things that are good for me (relatively) but tasty and cheap, unlike the spendy that is Whole Foods. I like to take the trek to Trader Joes either here or in Northville every few weeks at least, stocking up on fun food I don't have to feel guilty about. Here is what I adore at Trader Joe's: Orange Pump Air Freshener - tiny but powerful Kettle Brewed Unsweetened Green and White Tea - for when I am feeling too lazy to make my own Less Salt Dry Roasted Almonds - tasty and dietician approved, great for PMS Mango and Ginger Go Nuts Guilt Free Multigrain or Sea Salt Pita Chips - great with the Tzaziki sauce and the Garlic Hummus Savory Thins Rice Crackers - less carbs Pretzel Slims - snacking or dipping fun Pirates Booty - cheesy and delicious popcorn Wonton Chips - spicy chinese mustard flavor Wasabi Peas - mmmm spicy Turkish Pistashios Endless Trail Mixes - something for everyone Soy Vay Island Teriyaki - great with their fresh Asian Stirfry Veggie Mix (no chopping needed) Fajita Marinade - great for grilling Fat Free Balsamic Vinaigrette Toasted Sesame Non Fat Dressing Garlic Aioli Mustard - perks up sandwiches well Tzaziki Sauce Pizza Sauce Piccata Sauce Garlic Hummus Raw Almond Butter Harvest Grains Blend - with couscous, orzo, baby garbanzo beans and quinoa, it is awesome with a little roasted garlic olive oil drizzle Asiago Peppercorn Sourdough Bread - yummy Chimichurri Rice Sesame Bagels - bad for me but mmmm Frozen Brown Rice- ideal for laziness Quinoa Whole Grain Baking Mix Ginger Almond and Cashew Cereal - sprinkle some on the greek yogurt Fage Greek Yogurt - drizzle with local honey for a treat TJs Whipped Cream Cheese Bett's Cheddar and Horseradish spread Silver Goat Chevre or the crumbles, which I did not see last visit Double Cream Brie - a steal Fire Roasted Red Peppers - great for sandwiches and salads Roasted Tomatoes Cuban Black Beans - you can eat em straight from the container Roasted Vegetables Frozen Asian Veggies with Bejing Soy Sauce Roasted Red Pepper Soup Mahi Mahi in Chimichurri Marinade (really any of their marinated frozen fish rocks) Tilapia with veggies Salmon with veggies Tuna Steaks in marinade Salmon stuffed with crabmeat Salmon stuffed with shrimp and dill cream Cod with garlic and basil marinade Stuffed Flounder Smoked Salmon Gravlax - TJs brand Chioppino Seafood Stew - full of good chunks of seafood Chicken Chili Verde Chicken and Cheese Enchilada Verde Spicy Thai Pasta Salad with Chicken - ready to eat Organic precooked chicken and turkey strips - just add to a salad or pita for a quick lunch Roasted Rosemary Chicken with Wild Rice - heat and eat Orange Chicken - baked up it is delish Tempura Sweet and Sour Chicken - not the best choice but better than takeout Citrus Glazed Chicken Spicy Jalapeno Chicken Sausage Chicken Lettuce Wraps Chicken Potstickers Pork Potstickers Nimon Ranch Tri Tip - a rare find in the midwest Bool Kogi Beef Strips - in an excellent korean sesame marinade Trader Jose's Carne Asada Seasoned Butterflied Boneless Leg of Lamb- a steal for lamb I told you I was verbose and I also love this place. You cannot always find all of this but you usually can find some of it, this is just what I have tried and liked. I find Northville stocks some things A2 doesn't and vice versa.

Ebony and Denise are both national treasures. For my graduation from law school, Ebony sensed that it was a special day when my family and I came to buy a cake. She rang two bells and gave us flowers and free bags. Such a simple gesture, but it made my parents fall in love with Michigan and my day all that special. Denise consistently talks about TJ product like it is sent from above, offering us samples whenever we say we havent tried something. both amazing people!

I do the bulk of my shopping at TJ's. I won't bore you with product reviews since the stock doesn't vary from location to location and I'm pretty sure you know what they carry. So instead I'll focus on what's going on inside this particular store structure/staff wise. First off, I am not a fan of this parking lot. Not their fault but I feel like it's just not big enough for a popular market like this. That's my major gripe. The store itself is laid out nicely. Not a huge space but the aisles are wide and relatively spacious. I've been in some Trader Joe's where you can barely pass another cart without banging into them. This one at least has a little elbow room so I'll give it props for that. The produce and products in general are pretty fresh. Last few times I've been they've been missing a few products I was looking for but overall the selection is good. The place they (and most TJ's) really shine is their staff. The staff here are top notch. Incredibly helpful, knowledgable, and patient. I came in here a few weeks ago doing a HUGE shopping job. Like, filling my house for the first time, shopping job. My cashier was friendly and took her time ringing me up. I had so many bags I needed two carts to get back to my car and another staff person helped me out to my car and assisted me in loading my bags into the trunk. SO nice! I approve. Overall, any of the small negatives about the place are outweighed greatly by the overwhelming positives. Not to mention the price is fantastic. Great, healthy shopping. Especially if you're on a budget. I'll just be sure to shop at off times to avoid madness in the parking lot!

My big tote bag was getting full. I was in front of the vitamin section stocking up, when one of the Joe's employees noticed me, and offered to go get me a cart. I guess it was obvious that I couldn't have stuffed anything more into that tote bag. So I accepted her offer gratefully. Then I spied the panettone. Had to grab three and put them into my newly acquired cart. I was looking for salted caramels. The same woman was still nearby. She looked around the store for a while, then went to the secret stash behind the desk. She said there were only five boxes left, and asked me how many I wanted. I said just one because I didn't want to hog them. I have always found the people here to be helpful and pleasant. This latest experience was great.

I love TJ, it is a fine selection for food of all kinds, frozen meals here feel less 'crappy' than something you might get at Kroger or Walmart. The meat section has a presentation like Whole foods and you can get a great selection of quick easy to make meat entrees that give you quick cook times and taste great. An easy way to describe Trader Joe's is to call in a 'cheap' Whole foods, cheap as in the price, not the quality. I personally don't fall for the "organic" fad (the word organic struggles to have a standard definition -- just like spring water) so I enjoy buying meat and veggies here without them being organic (altho some are). The wine selection is great, with wonderful prices pretty much under $10 bucks ($3 Chuck!). Coffee and tea selection is pretty good (TJ brands), and I can vouch for tasking a good variety of them in the tasting section in the back. Honestly there is a lot to find at TJ, from meat, frozen peas, dinners, coffee all the way to wine and birthday cards. Check it out and find something cool (like their sauces, nuts, or lotions). OH... give the pizza dough a try, easy to make pizzas, just add sauce + toppings for like $2 bucks (for the dough).

Love this Trader Joes location! They offer a variety of meats that make any meal a little easier. Most of the meats are natural or organic for a reasonable price. The produce can be hit or miss but the employees will help you find something if you're looking for something specific. The prices are very fair. I enjoy shopping here because they offer the basics and not too many extras. They offer a variety of beer and wine. You can usually count on a quick checkout and they will offer to help you to your car. I recommend grocery shopping early...earlier the better.

Have shopped in Jacksonville Beach since it opened and was not happy that we didn't have one close by when we moved to Northwood, Ohio! Drove to Ann Arbor and was pleasantly surprised!! Nice store, nicer people working there! Will be making a trip every few weeks!

NIGHTMARE STORE. I hadn't been to Trader Joe's in nearly a year due to the pandemic and the fact that my father had passed from Covid. Out of respect for others I wanted to be super safe. I stood in line for the Trader Joe's and when the 20-year-old girl in front of me notified the staff member that she had a medical condition and could not wear a mask I decided that I would wait until this shopper came out as I did not feel comfortable. As I was standing waiting quite a while in line another two girls walked up and when told they had to wear a mask one of the girls replied I'll just put this on and pulled a very flimsy scarf over her face. The staff member allowing in people turned to her coworker after they had entered and asked do you think that's OK? When clearly it was not. So dear Trader Joe's if you will not allow pick up and delivery services I would expect that you would be taking very serious safety measures which I did not see in this experience. Super bummed
