"A long-standing neighborhood grocery store situated across from the newer premium market, serving as an enduring, familiar anchor amid the influx of upscale chains and corporate retailers." - Meghan McCarron
"The grocery chain’s jarred harissa is cited as a good, widely accessible option when sriracha is scarce; made from dried chile, coriander, and plenty of garlic, it offers a texturally similar, savory alternative even if the flavor leans toward North African spice profiles." - Amy McCarthy
"Used as a time-saving, semi-homemade shortcut, a boxed vanilla meringue cookie becomes the foundation for a spiced coffee meringata: the meringues are briefly toasted to deepen and caramelize their flavor and boost crispness, then most are crushed into almond-sized pieces (with some inevitable dust) and gently folded into coffee-and-spice–infused whipped cream. The mixture is packed into a loaf, frozen, coated with more crushed meringue, topped with a few intact cookies and a dusting of cocoa, and served tableside with a warm honey‑fudge sauce — an approach that showcases contrasting textures and temperatures while capitalizing on the meringue’s shelf-stability and versatility as a semi-homemade building block." - Zoë Kanan
"I acknowledge Trader Joe’s excellent cheese aisle, but for a wider, more adventurous selection for a picnic I recommend heading to Murray’s instead." - Eater Staff
"I recognize that Trader Joe’s loyalists may be tough converts to Amazon Go Grocery because Trader Joe’s prices are usually competitive." - Gabe Guarente
