Trader Joe's

Apparently this is the busiest Trader Joe’s in Texas (according to the staff) and I believe it. Come on a weekend and expect chaos, crowded aisles, a wild parking lot and a lot of impatience. That said, the store stays well stocked, there are always new TJ’s items, and the location tries to consistently keep order and flow even when it’s slammed. The register clerks are consistently friendly, patient, and helpful, which adds a lot to the visit. Floor staff is hit or miss. I’ve had one employee go above and beyond to help me find an item, and on another visit, I had an employee bump into me hard and keep walking without apologizing. It depends on the day. Produce is generally good, though the apples and bananas can be questionable at times. Favorites: the garlic sauce ($3.49), bee propolis throat spray ($8.99 - good price), and the $1.99 bee propolis daily oral shots. Also worth noting: TJ’s brand skincare is SHOCKINGLY good and has quite a few high quality dupes of name brands/high-end brands for a fraction of the price. Take a look! This place is busy, sometimes chaotic, but well-stocked with great products. If you can handle the crowds, it’s worth it.

Went on a Saturday and will never go again lol so busy and so hard to get parking. Lots of stuff we’re out of stock but this location is super popular. Good customer service

So Trader Joe's is always super crowded when I go but it's totally worth it because the food is so good and I see why so many people are there every time I go. I wish I could get it delivered on instacart but I see why you can't because they have such Niche specialty items and when it's there it's there and when it's not it's not. I personally love the pre-made stuff I always come in for that in a little goodies that they have. Definitely love shopping here and the customer service is always super friendly and nice as well.

I’ve been going to Trader Joe’s for more than 30 years so when they came to Austin, that was very excited. All Trader Joe’s stores are roughly the same, and they have excellent store, brand meals and products for very reasonable prices. They all have really good floral sections, and while the Selection of produce is not the biggest, the things they have are good and reasonably priced. The workers at Trader Joe’s, always seem to be in a better mood than at other stores, maybe because I’ve heard it is one of the top places to work. I just wish that it was open a little bit longer in the Evening.

Classic Trader Joes. It even matches the stereotype where there is no consensus on how traffic should flow within the store. Tip: Just walk on the right side. It's that easy. Give everyone else mean muggins. The parking lot is atrocious. If you get overstimulated easily this place will do that to you. It's a great place to grab easy meals. It's our go to place for quick and lazy meals.

First time in a Trader Joe's in a decade due to location, but I was in the area and stopped in and got some nostalgic treats that I got in the past. The Carrot Cake put me in a food coma, also went looking for the $2 buck chuck but with the economy from the past four years it was more like $4 buck chuck. It was clean and not to busy in the morning.

This was my first time here, I wanted to buy some Khanom Krok, a Thai dessert from Thailand that I couldn't find in any Asian market. Inside there were a lot of flowers and food. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. I felt it was worth shopping here. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you very much and I will come back to buy more often.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I always come to Trader Joe’s for the great deals and good atmosphere, and today did not disappoint. Miss Liv and Amber were absolutely amazing. Their customer service was top tier, and I truly appreciated the love and support they showed during my shopping experience. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Book club at our home on Saturday. I planned the menu, which includes an assortment of appetizers. Trader Joe's carries anything from hummus to cheeses and salami. Salami was precisely what I was looking for. I grabbed a couple types salami choices...peppered around the eduges and one that alternating red and white texture. I really like Trader Joe's for their reasonable prices and the variety of choices to choose from. Service is always great at Trader Joe's. Even if you have a small hesitation, it seems a Trader Joe's staff member is front and center ready to help you. I really like that quality. Even when the store is fully crowded, there a certain amount of calm in the store and not a lot of loud noise. More items to collect...more grocery stores to visit...

If you don't know about Trader Joe's what rock have you been living under? while we all love our TJs this location holds a special place for me as i frequently stop in to grab goodies for dinner, snacks, etc- This review is for the staff. In a big city where it can feel lonely sometimes, the staff here have made me feel such a sense of community. Seeing those familiar faces and chatting (even briefly) with my TJs crew, it makes me feel warm and cozy. Liv and Lonnie particularly. Always have a great attitude and make sure to greet me by name. i genuinely love that experience and i encourage you all to visit this location if you're in the area.

I can't say enough about Trader Joe's. They deserve 5 stars for several reasons. A lot of unique and specific items here. Their oat creamer zero sugar for $1.99 is a recent discovery and a winner. Love their Japanese Fried Rice in the frozen section - I think this is the best fried rice out there. Love their spice rack as it's usually under $2.50. The Mozz Sticks rock. The French fries rock. The Garlic Butter Irish Potato chips rock. Their frozen thin green beans rock. Their TJ's Cookie Butter is phenomenal. Their Coffee Lovers Expresso Beans rock. The Goat Cheese Onion Ravioli rocks. And I can go on and on but you get the idea. New items I just discovered- their fall lineup with Pumpkin Cake with frosting, the Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream, Salted Brownie Bites, Ketchup Flavored Lattice Poto Chips. The Wicked Good Mini Chocolate Bars are really wicked good. Always something new and exciting to try. And they are so cool on returns and exchanges if you don't like anything. No problems, no worries. Customer service here has always been consistently great. Never ever had a bad experience. I only wish they would bring their coffee samples back, but that's about it. Trader Joe's is a refreshing place to shop instead of your usual run of the mill places.

Sunday before a holiday. The place packed. But oddly, wasn't had to maneuver the isle. Even with a shopping cart. Got a few things I wanted, and couple things I didn't know I wanted. Fruit looked really good. But the pineapple I bought was insane juicy. I now wish I bought a second one. I'm pretty sure I'll eat it in 2 days. It's that's crazy good. And at $2.99 each. It was a great price. My cashier was a Doll, very friendly and nice. She was quick too.

Love getting items from traders joes! Products are good and nicer quality as well! Our recent go to stuff is Korean kimpap! Cheap and good

Great store, as are most TJ's. They're well stocked, organized, and clean. They have tons of employees which is great because they're typically quite crowded. The employees are always friendly when they help check you out. Sometimes parking can be a bit of a challenge and there are no cart return stations in the parking lot.

Love TJ. Wish there was one closer to my home, but this is the closest. Parking can sometimes be a headache. If you're like me and hate massive crowds, avoid the weekends as much as you can. Maneuvering through the aisles is a nightmare when 500 people have a cart, and are trying to get behind you or around you in such a small store. Go later at night. Or maybe really early. But def not peak times. Selection is great, prices are great, employees are always mega friendly!

I love Trader Joe's, and this location is full of friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. I love trying all of the new products available and make it a point to stop by regularly. I ran by this afternoon and was thrilled to see the Jalapeño Limeade in stock (normally seasonal). Sounds like margarita time!

This was my 5 star positive review. Scroll down to see the updated one: Pumpkins are in! Let's call in fall y'all. Sunflowers too. Go on vacation to your local Trader Joe's and pretend it's fall in Texas. 30 minutes of pure heaven with all kinds of fun things to discover. If you're new to Trader Joe's it is THE place for fun snacks and unique gifts. What teacher doesn't want food as a present? Sunflower Butter Reese cups, everything chocolate covered you can think of...chocolate covered pistachios, chocolate covered dried blueberries, chocolate covered etc etc. Coconut whipped cream. Best place ever for GF and DF eaters. Ah mazing. My checkout lady was the nicest. Wish I looked at her name tag. Thank you to whoever you are. Trader Joe's ppl shoot the breeze with you and it's always fun to have weird conversations with strangers like you're besties. :) Update: staff bullied me and treated me with disrespect. Trader Joe's is known throughout the country as a place that is positive and chats with their customers. This white male and female staff were the opposite of what Trader Joe's brand represents. I hope to hear of disciplinary action since they feel so empowered to treat customers with disrespect, slander, and bully their patrons.

Apparently, this is the BUSIEST Trader Joe's in the whole the state of Texas according to the people who work here. I can see why. Come here on Saturdays and Sundays and get a load of this. That parking lot and those aisles inside the store: DRAMA. They have everything at this location and they keep it stocked well. Ignore both the impatient and rude customers who bump into you and cut your car off when trying to park and you'll be just fine. But seriously...they stay stocked up on all of the latest TJs offerings and have the kindest and most patient of staff no matter how busy it gets.

Trader Joe's is the best!!! They have such a wide selection of unique products, super creative displays and product packaging, and super friendly cashiers. Some of my favorite of their products are the garlic hummus, dark chocolate peanut butter cups, mini carrot cake, snickerdoodles, and the Trader Joe's talkies. And, if you don't fall in love with any of these, I am sure you will find something that suits you with the constant arrival of new Trader Joe's products! I also really love the plant and flower sections at Trader Joe's. As you can see in the photos I have added, there are many many fresh cut flowers, and an amazing plant selection. Over all, Trader Joe's is an amazing specialty grocery store not only with unique products, but also with creative touches like their staple "Fireless Flyer," cow hunt for children, amazing signage and product displays, and art all over the store of local things. Trader Joe's is the best!!!!

This TJ's feels like a neighborhood gem. The team here remembers me as a regular, greets you with a smile, and makes grocery shopping actually enjoyable. The flower section is always fresh, and I love knowing I can grab everything from snacks to great priced wine in one stop. Big love to the Great Hills crew.

This is my favorite place. Service is amazing, everybody is so nice and their products are the bestttt. I went there for the release of the spring mini tote bags and there was a line before the opening , I got to get the 4 different colors and I'm so happy!! They're really cool. here are a few of my fav items:

Can't beat the prices and unique finds in adorable packaging at Trader Joe's. I like that a lot of the products are in smaller sizes, like the Elderflower drink and coconut water yuzu comes in sets of 4 instead of 6. Even though my cart is always filled I never miss on my absolute favorite things to get which are the drinks, the Indian and Middle Eastern frozen food options, the hummus (especially the garlic one), cheeses (as someone from WI I can say this is a great range of selections in top quality for a grocery store in TX), and the bakery (especially the chocolate baklava). I look forward to seeing what their seasonal options are every visit. I try to only come Early early early, especially on the weekends because it gets super busy with lines outside and the parking lot is shared with multiple other businesses and people drive horribly in this area. We usually try to get there about 8:30 on weekends because by 10am it's starting to get jam packed and can be difficult to browse. Staff is friendly and I always end up having a full conversation with them, not just small talk while checking out.

TJ's is a little piece of heaven and I am finding myself coming back here weekly. I'm a little bummed I haven't been coming sooner, but I'm here now! Not only are prices superb, but they have such a wide variety of offerings. Their fresh produce, florals, proteins, and just about everything is way below cost compared to other grocery stores. A few of my fave items from Trader Joe's are their chicken soup dumplings, frozen edamame bags, belgium chocolates, asiago cheese dip, roast beef, garlic hummus, and gnocchi. Let's be honest they have so many things that it's just about hard to not fill up your grocery cart with everything lol I'll be a fan of Trader Joe's and yes if you do freeze their food and put it into a freeze bag with ice packs, it will travel well on a non-stop flight to El Paso for your family.

Was looking for vegan food and found what I was looking for with out help and check out was easy and fast no problem. Easy parking lot and lady checked me out just asked me if I found everything ok . I said yes .

I mean it's Trader Fucking Joe's!!!! You can't go wrong with anything in this place the frozen meals allllllll SLAP!!! The employees are always extremely helpful and friendly. It's organized and clean. Me being 5 minutes away is dangerous but I'm in love!!! I would post a list of all the "Must Haves" but just go on TikTok lol

Best staff at any TJ's I've been to! They're always welcoming and provide great recommendations on the best items. This location is always clean and organized! Usually fully stocked unless you're looking for a viral item then get it ASAP. Parking can be tough on the weekends so I recommend going early!

My go-to Trader Joe's. I could go on and on about all the delicious, unique, and fun food finds but what I really want to highlight is their level of customer service. Everyone here is always so friendly and helpful, regardless of the time of day and even when it's a busy holiday. The workers go out of their way to show you where an item can be found and today was no different. I failed to get their names but two gentlemen were kind enough to search in the back stock for a noodle that showed in stock but was still buried amongst the recent delivery. They weren't able to find it and were super apologetic but I was so grateful that they went above and beyond. Thank you Trader Joe's employees! You really are the nicest people! Also, their holiday decor and gift sets are so adorable! Check it out!

I can't get enough of Trader Joe's. Is it not the most addicting grocery store to ever exist? Am I in a Joe cult??? Quite possibly. The affordability of literally everything is what makes Trader Joe's so fantastic. The wide variety of snacks, produce, wines and cheese. The CHEAP FLOWERS!!! You can literally make someone's day with a $6 bouquet of the most beautiful flowers all because of Joe. The checkout counter and all the employees around the store make your shopping experience so delightful. I wait with eager anticipation for my Trader Joe's trips each week. I have to get the staple items and try something new each time. If you aren't a trader Joe fanatic yet, it's time to get on board.

I am a California girl at heart, and Trader Joe's is my happy place! I wish there were more locations up north, but I make a trip down to the arboretum location from Cedar Park at least once a month to stock up on all my favorite goodies. TJ's produce is of excellent quality, and they offer a great variety of fresh fruits and vegetables! I love their ready made salads and bread selection as well. My daughter loves their flavored yogurt cups. Favorite things to grab: - frozen Indian food, chicken tikka masala is my all time favorite item! - cowboy quinoa frozen burgers, YUM! Excellent wfh lunch option. - butternut squash ravioli - my daughter loves this tossed with olive oil or butter. - fresh pizza dough to make pizzas at home! - fresh chicken meatballs and beef kebabs that can be whipped up in the air fryer for a quick meal. - mochi ice cream & sea salt brownies for dessert Plus their incredible, affordable wine collection! Service at this location is quick, efficient and friendly. So pleased to have a TJs in Austin!

I love Trader Joe's and wish there was one closer to me. They have so many fresh and affordable options. I love the staff and the food. The flowers are great too. If you are near, do yourself a favor and stop in.

love love love Trader Joes! I do most of my grocery shopping here except for a few items that are better to grab at HEB or target. The seasonal items are always so fun to try and the floral options are the best of any grocery store in my opinion, I always grab 3-4 different flowers to create a bouquet. The service is always so great, the staff are super helpful and kind! The only downside is it is always CROWDED if you go in the afternoons or on weekends. Good luck finding parking, you may have to lap around the parking lot a couple of times. For that reason, I aim to go on a weekday morning when I'm able to.

This is a nice store! The employees were very friendly and fast at checkout. We went on a Saturday afternoon. Some of the frozen items were already sold out. Bathrooms were clean! Lots of parking in this plaza which I appreciate.

People swarming in and workers challenged to keep carts moving and shelves and freezers full bc of Thanksgiving. Surprised at how many families were shopping with children. Didn't anticipate the crowd but staff were helpful as possible. Several standard items I regularly purchase were not stocked presumably in lieu of seasonal items? Challenging for me so got the minimum we needed and checked out. Lesson learned. Still love the store and TJ branded products. Should I stock up for Christmas now?

Actually going back again today lol. They have such great prprices for charcuterie board ingredients! Also time to get some pumpkin stuff!

Super big! smelled like cinnamon. i felt like a kid in a candy store. i love coming here because they are so kind to my son.

We had the best experience today with crew member Joe. He made our day while we talked about our kids/nieces/nephews and helped us out with our flowers for our niece's dance recital. Thank you, Joe!

Amazing location with tons of options, parking, great customer service and overall atmosphere! I stopped here one Sunday recently and had a blast grocery shopping. The quality of fruit and vegetables is unlike any other store along with their great frozen food section, baked bagged, and boxed goods! Always get a deal on beautiful flowers, my groceries are bagged for me, and I never spend too much! What a great store! I just wish it was bigger

I don't know where to begin but I want to apologize if you have never been to Trader Joe's before! I didn't meme to keep this a secret! I come for flowers and wine. & and bubbles

I had a very disappointing experience at this grocery store. During my visit, the cashier was not only rude but also judgmental about my appearance. Instead of focusing on my purchase, they made snide remarks about my clothing and questioned whether I could afford my groceries. It was incredibly unprofessional and made me feel unwelcome as a customer. it show the cashier mental state and upper management skill and famillity with austin couture . I won't be returning anytime soon.

Stopped here on Sunday and the line outside was long!!! There were bright x marks to stand so you are socially distanced. The line moved quickly thankfully. As you approach the entrance, they will spray your hands with antibacterial spray so you can grab a shopping cart. The store was clean and everything organized. Shoppers were actually courteous and would wait if you were in an area they needed to get into. I found okra chips, Jerk Plantain chips, Ghost pepper chips, green onions and some other goodies. The checkout line was organized. You stand back as the cashier rings up everything and bags up your groceries. They will call you to move forward when you're ready to pay. Thank you Trader Joe's for keeping everyone safe!

I love Trader Joe's, but not their parking situation!!! My kids love shopping with me here. They are fans of baby bananas and freeze dried strawberries. I am into their brown sugar oat milk creamer. And that's just what I've discovered most recently!! Even with crowds, they always keep it moving.

I'm so glad to have found another Trader Joe's out here. This store is mid-sized and is very busy. I was able to find most of what I needed but the crowds have made it a bit claustrophobic if you just want to look around rather than jumping grabbing something and leaving. Prices are consistent with other TJs and I would recommend most of the food here. Parking seemed intense like most TJ parking lots can be.

Fav places to go on the weekend for shopping Great prices on organic products Fun food choices Customer service is always above n beyond Just an overall amazing shopping experience every time

This store is packed to the gills with wonderful values. The wide range of food options are impressive including meals, snacks, and beverages. Some of my favorite items are the brown rice/yellow lentil pasta which is packed with protein and fiber as well as their frozen shrimp burgers. The store is always packed and the parking is crazy so come early if you can. Most of the employees are helpful and friendly and check out is usually a breeze.

I've been a supporter of TJ's for close to 20 years now, and I'm always glad to see that they haven't strayed from the core values that made them the great store they are. They consistently provide value for money when it comes to everything from organic produce to high-quality premade meals and snacks. (I'm a HUGE fan of their mini chocolate chip cookies, chocolate espresso beans, Italian pizza, wild-caught scallops, and more.) Also, this particular location avoids the few sins I've come across in other TJ's. Except for the peak hours, there's plenty of parking. They've left enough space for multiple checkout lanes and lines. And their staff is uniformly well informed and seem happy to help. What else is there to say? If you need a tiramisu cake, dried berry mix, slice of frozen arctic char, or a bottle of two-buck-chuck, this is your place!

Great location! Love this place for groceries. I go once a week at least, I just love it so much! The customer service is fast and always so helpful. This store is usually stocked and always has everything i'm looking for. Great things inside, love trying there seasonal items! Must try there chicken soup dumplings! The hash browns are a must have for breakfast!! My husband loves the vanilla mochi as well! Love this place so much! MUST TRY

*THEY ARE TAKING COVID SERIOUSLY* Before this last year, I had only visited a Trader Joe's a handful of times. Recently, I've found myself going on a nigh monthly basis. (I was raised in Texas so H-E-B will always be my first love). There is just something magical about Trader Joe's. Today, I made a casual joke and random employees chuckled. Not in that "I'm only doing this because you're a customer" way, but in a way that made me think they are just relaxed and in a good mood. The employees are just so incredibly friendly. Their fresh foods are of a high quality. One thing I appreciate is their premade and frozen meals. I always pick up a bag of their beef and broccoli and their orange chicken. AND THE WINE!!! Two buck chuck is divine.

Any time I let someone know I have never been to Trader Joes I am immediately attacked with "are you crazy" or "you are missing out"! So, finally one Sunday morning I decided to finally see what the fuss was all about. Going on a Sunday was probably the biggest mistake. However, it does not take away from the fact that there were SO MANY people in this tiny little store at one time, I would assume the Fire Marshall would close it down for being over capacity. What made it worse was that the employees had huge boxes in the middle of the tiny isles so they could quickly restock. To add madness to mayhem half of the employees were just standing in the middle of the isles talking instead of stocking the isles while customers had to maneuver around them and other shoppers. My anxiety is kicking in thinking about my experience. The only pleasant part of my experience was how quickly I was able to pay and leave, that is only because an employee guided me to a register without a line. If anyone has advice on the best day to visit with no crowds I might come back, but if there is no such thing then I wont be back.

Trader Joe's the home of great snacks, smiles, and constant hawaiian shirts. What could go wrong? Nothing! Trader Joe's is always such a fun spot to visit to stock up. I know in the end it is a grocery store, but the overall consistent quality and the experience as well as the attitude of the workers just always makes feel welcome and want to come back. I'm always looking for any excuse to pick up cookie butter. Which is just one of the many unique snacks that Trader Joe's offers. I do love the stand out foods you can find as well, not something too often seen in a grocery. Service is also another knockout. Even throughout the pandemic, Trader Joe's really stepped up their game not just for the guests but the workers as well which is reassuring to hear. Checkouts are well organized/safe and there's never too much wait to be had if you need assistance. Thank you so much again Trader Joe's, I cannot wait to be back to collect more snacks.

This location is always firing from all cylinders. I have never visited this location and had a bad experience. They always have the most gorgeous plants out front at a great value and it doesn't stop there! The floral and produce departments are the first things to catch your eye and they are absolutely breathtaking. So vibrant and fresh! The employees are simply the nicest people on planet earth. I know before COVID you could sample products just to see if you liked them or not but I'm not sure if that's still a policy. My favorite items are as follows: -Honey Aleppo Sauce -Buffalo Chicken Dip -Frozen Cauliflower Rice - Fresh Salmon - Rose Water - Green Goddess Seasoning And you have to go during the holidays (Yea, EVERY holiday) because their limited edition items are worth it. So if you've never stopped by the location, make a day of it. Go to the NEWKS to eat lunch, shop at Trader Joe's and then go get some Starbucks!

Love my Trader Joe's ! I can't say enough about this crew at this store ! Great service every time ! Love all the plants that are available right now along with all my favorite treats! Ps my dogs loved the Christmas avent calendar too thanks for showing this to me

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I wish I lived closer to one. It's very easy to see why it's a great place to shop, great prices, cool and unusual food items, yummy food, and the employees are very kind helpful and seem happy.

Nice grocery experience. We had one in near my house when I lived in Ohio and enjoyed them then. This is a new again to me shopping experience. I think they did a good covid job. It's smart of them to no longer allow outside shopping bags and they make folks wait in distanced line outside, managing the amount of folks inside. The food is nicely presented and although they have most everything it feels like a small store. The prices are very good but be aware that many items are sold in smaller size containers than some other stores. (That's sorta a good idea, so 3 year old gallon of mayonnaise is no longer found in my frig) Enjoy!

This was my first time coming to Trader Joe's. I have to say I love it! This isn't your average grocery store. If you are a foodie, this is definitely the place for you. There's so many great foods to choose from. I end up trying the lobster ravioli and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Great selections. Follows COVID guidelines. Spectacular service. I will be back.

Thank you to a Trader Joe's team member by the name of Ashley. She was so kind to my daughter, who was not feeling well while we were at Trader Joe's. On another note, we like the options that we can't find at other grocery stores, such as the freeze dried fruits, and they are more cost-friendly.

Made the pilgrimage to my favorite Trader Joe's for some tasty faves! I love this location! They are so friendly & helpful! They also have good parking! I tried out some new items & gave the cashier & bagger some recipe tips! I always look forward to shopping here! Good job TJ's!

My friends and I went to this location last night because #ladiesnight (I swear we're fun). We did our shopping and when we were done debating how many varieties of chocolate snacks were necessary, we were shocked to discover it was pouring outside. Two very nice employees walked us to our car with umbrellas. It was very kind and once I finish off this family size bag of honey roasted peanuts by myself, I'll be back soon to restock.
