Trader Joe's

TraderJoe’s ROCKS! I love this store. This particular location has the friendliness and most helpful staff or “crew”as they are called! I couldn't stop myself. I live about 2 hours from this any of their locations. When in area….go! They have the most unusual…yet familiar items. This was a holiday item visit! And it did not disappoint. A bit crowded but worth it. if there was one thing I don’t like about this particular Trader Joe’s is the parking. When you go, have plenty of patience and the parking fairy will give you a parking spot. Don't miss out…get to this Trader Joe’s

My friends know how much I love Trader Joe’s and going to a new Trader Joe’s is a treat for me. This was my first time at this location. I was able to get everything I needed for my trip. Thanks to Santa at checkout who made everything come together at the end of shopping. She was such a big help helping me to find everything I wanted. I bought some lotion that’s new to me. It's is moisturizing feels smooth, not sticky, on my skin. Definitely a good find. Even though you go in with a list, you always leave with a little extra. I really enjoyed the grass-fed New York strip steak and the organic chicken tenders. The quality of the meat was really good. Its worth the price.

First time. Parking at all of them is wild. Signs at all other businesses with promises to tow your car. The retirement home should have parking attendants for $5 parking. This store has been here for 13 years. Parked two blocks away and walked. Not an issue at all. Beautiful day. What a weird and wacky place. Definitely would drive this everyday, walk six blocks and whistle all the way if I was single and looking. Wall to wall ladies of all qualities only beat by the beautiful staff working around 500 people. Men and women. The flowers at the door were so impulsive I had to literally check my bank account to see if I could buy only all of them. 😁 I walked every aisle, saw a lady I knew. Chatted and walked every aisle again. So many delicious and appealing items. No one cared or noticed how many people were there. I had so much fun and spent as much money as I could. Not sure if I will ever go back but I could not possibly recommend that only everyone go here. I loved every single item I purchased, was greeted by almost every employee. And spoke to almost every customer. Granted it was “excuse me” and “Thank you” and to the manager “Printing money” Every line was open and my cashier was as pleasant as it gets. I would work here. Every one was happy. I would make an offer to the retirement home. But in your defense people were cordially lined up waiting for a parking space.

Trader Joe’s is always a fun stop, but the snacks are dangerously good—I can’t keep them in the house or I’ll eat them all! I really wish they carried the cinnamon bun JoJo’s year-round, those are amazing. It’s also one of my go-to spots for wine, cheese, and crackers—perfect for putting together some fancy appetizers when we have friends over. On top of that, I’ve been surprised how much I like their hygiene products. Their unscented deodorant and face lotion are a great price, and both my wife and I use them. The workers here are always super friendly, greet you, and actually ask how your day is going—just genuinely good people.

Trader Joe’s is a total gem! With its vibe, friendly staff, and a fun shopping experience, it’s easy to love this place. From fresh flowers to healthy options like frozen meals, snacks, and fresh produce, it’s the perfect spot for unique finds and budget-friendly choices. Plus, the seasonal snacks are always on point and the best chocolate-covered everything during the holidays—definitely a must-try. A hidden perk? Their beauty dupes of high-end products! For example, their Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream, Honey Glow, and serums giving you that refreshed, dewy glow without the hefty price tag. And let’s not forget about the pet-friendly treats! For our furry friends, Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits and Chicken and Pumpkin Jerky are super popular and healthy alternatives to pricey pet store options. These treats are made with natural ingredients and perfect for rewarding your pup without breaking the bank. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, especially on weekends. But despite that, discovering new products and picking up delicious treats always makes it worth the one hour trip. Trader Joe’s is truly a feel-good, healthy, and affordable shopping adventure!

I was told it’s best to arrive when they open. When I did there was already a line of customers waiting at the door. Staff restocked food and organized items quickly. Checking out was a fast and easy process. Giving 4 stars due to the limited parking and design of the store. Most locations I’ve been to have the same setup and design. The aisle’s are small and there’s always a crowd.

2025-11-08 - What a store! The only negative part is the parking. The parking lot for this store is hard to get into and navigate. Also, the lot was full so we actually parked next door which may or may not be allowed. If you disregarding parking, this shopping trip was great!! The store is spotless and very organized! We went on a Saturday and in the afternoon so the place was super busy. We found the store to be easy to navigate. The produce was fresh and looked great! Presentation in the aisles was second to none. Even though the store was packed we had very little wait time to check out. Matt, our cashier, was super friendly and awesome! Matt stated Wednesdays are the best days to come if you are looking for a slow day to shop. Morning are best however evenings are good too (they may be out of some things though). We love Trader Joes and we will be back for sure!!

Trader Joe’s is always a great shopping experience. The store is clean, organized, and full of unique products you don’t find anywhere else. Fresh produce, great snacks, delicious frozen meals, and amazing prices. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help. Definitely one of the best places to shop for quality and value.

This was my first time at this location of Trader Joe's. The one thing I could see being frustrating here is the parking. The lot was full when I got here (thankful someone pulled out just a minute after I arrived) and the lot was full as I left with a few cars trying to find spots. Other than that everything was great from the selection inside, to the staff friendliness, and the place was pretty clean for how busy it was. My favorite part was the samples they were giving out and because they were delicious I ended up buying the products I tasted (specialty cheese and guava jam, yum). I'll definitely be back but looking for a day that's not quite so packed.

Ok look, we love us some TJs! And I really like that I have one fairly nearby since I live as far southwest you can before it's no longer FW. The staff is friendly and in abundance, but the parking lot is another story. I don't know how long its been there, but it has outgrown the space. That is really the only downside to this location. I realize I haven't been here long enough to compare to other locations, but geeeeze. *le sigh

I love Trader Joe's, but this is my least favorite location simply because of how awful the parking lot is. On several occasions, I've been stuck in a gridlock for over 15 minutes because the parking lot is so poorly designed. Other than parking, this is a standard TJ's with a great selection and friendly staff. There are always a lot of cashiers, so you don't have to wait long. The store is also very clean and airy so shopping is pleasant. The food selection is great. I particularly love the produce and frozen foods here. It is just unfortunate that the parking is so unaccessible or else I'd come here for my weekly shop!

Love trying out the seasonal items. Love the "always must grabs" Service- friendly staff in every aisle waiting to assist you. Check out lines move quickly. Store is usually clean and stocked well. Only negative about this location is the parking lot. I've yet to figure out the perfect time to catch it just right.

My favorite place to go and see what's new. I love so many of their things and the smaller portions. We usually eat what we buy there because their products are so delicious!

I'm so very glad Trader Joe's is nearby! It has the feel of a small town grocery store but with such unique & exotic choices! Love the organic options & prices. Frozen products are high quality and unique. Every aisle is full of wonderful options!! Also, the staff is the friendliest & kindest in Fort Worth. Totally a gem in the grocery game!

That parking lot is pocket size. I always make my husband come with me in case there's no parking he can drive around while I shop. It's usually pretty chaotic in TJ's but so worth it. I always find one of a kind items I would never find anywhere else. I also love having the opportunity to experience other cultures cuisine. Great vegan and vegetarian options and always beautiful fresh flowers. I look forward to my bi monthly hauls.

Super small parking. Be ready to spend a good amount of time going in circles. Be patient There is a good selection of items just seems crammed. Cashiers are fast and friendly.

I love this Trader Joe's! The cashiers are the best, so nice and friendly. All the TJ layouts are slightly crowded but this one works a little better. The chicken shawarma thighs are my absolute favorite go to and I cannot visit without getting and pile of fun frozen items

Staff are friendly & willing to assist. They are stocked for the most part, or willing to check back stock, or let you know when they will be receiving more in. Parking sucks, but nothing you can do except go earlier or be patient. Store is always clean

Trader Joe's is an adventure you never knew you needed! Tj's has a culture all its own with safari shirts, new tastes, and food options from around the world... I'm a sucker for their candy, crackers and snack options! This sort is similar to other Tj locations, but the parking is a bit challenging so have patience with other shoppers.

Where ever I travel I look for a TJ's. Lucky for me I was staying with a friend at The Club apartments so I walked here most days. The parking lot is small and tight. Pretty typical for most TJ locations. Staff was friendly and helpful. Actually got dinner one night by buying the pre made frozen and refrigerated meals and a salad. Bought fruit and yogurt for breakfast. Happy shopping!

Does anyone else have issues with the shopping carts? I was in the store for less than 5 minutes and my foot hit the metal near the wheel 3 times!!

Great CS from the door greeter to the check out! You could tell that the employees enjoy working there! Thanks for keeping it fully stocked and organized and making us feel welcomed! TJ fan!

Go ... RUN ... BUY ALL THE THINGS ! I love this place !!! So does my grandbaby ! This is our first stamp when he is over on for a sleep over and we run errands . If for any reason you have never been .. you are missing out on some awesome things

The selection of food helps to keep me and my hubby eating Mediterranean style! Quality fruits and veggies, for sure. I love the way the store is set up. The people there are always ready to help you find things you need. The cashiers are phenomenal people. One time I was watching a male cashier smiling and talking to an elderly customer and I was getting a little antsy and thinking that he was taking too long. And then I realized that this may be one of the few contacts she gets each week and she was smiling brightly when she left the store. So sweet. I'm helping shop for my elderly father and more than once I have had sweet conversations with cashiers- even hugs from some. Yesterday during my visit to Trader Joe's for my dad's groceries, the cashier and I formed an instant bond by sharing stories about our parents. After the cashier totaled up my order, she asked me to wait a second. She ran over to the flowers and brought back a dozen roses for me. I thanked her, gave her a hug, and then left the store crying all the way to the car. Anyone who has taken care of an elderly parent can relate to what I was feeling. The emotional connection I felt with the cashier is a testament to the power of human connection. I don't know how they do it but other businesses need to learn how to make their customers feel connected to them.

We'll stocked for fresher ingredients, great courteous staff! Parking can be tricky.

I love Trader Joe's, I really wish that we had one in Mansfield! Their selection is limited but they have most of what I need as well as some unique items. The prices are fair and the employees make the experience very enjoyable. Everyone was happy to assist, greeted up upon coming in and thanked us on the way out! Again, I love TJ's!

Great products if you can park and enter the store. Last 2 times can't park. Too bad.

Love there items and priced a lot more reasonable than a lot of your big box stores. If I'm doubt if a item is stock, I always call and the customer service is amazing. They will tell you if I'm stock and if it's not, when you should call back to check

We usually go here for the plants that are always less than other places. Changes weekly. Parking is always a bear, so many people going to this location in a nice part of town with very little parking space. Can't say anything about the foods, we've not bought any yet.

Great store and culture! I'm a fan of their salads, yogurt, raw orange juice, and mochi, especially. The inventory is wholesome and creative, and I get the impression that management treats labor well, as the employees seem genuinely content. The only real downside is the parking lot, which borders on hazardous. For this reason, I only go around 8 am when the store is freshly opened and less busy; if my schedule does not permit this I generally do not go. My sole frustration with Trader Joe's is this issue of accessibility. Overall, I love it to pieces.

Always a wild time shopping here. TJ literally brightens up my mood because of how adorable the store is, plus there are gorgeous arrays of succulents and lovely plants all year round. The parking lot is a tad small for the weekend crowd, but it's manageable. Of course, this TJ is very clean and organized, like the other stores. The goods here are always good. There are a few items I will always go for each time I run out: Dr. Bronners Pure Castille peppermint hemp cleaner, garlic naan, succulents of all kinds, vitamin E oil, marinara or any pasta sauces, pasta noodz, Thai Panang curry, dried chili mango, and that amazing tartar sauce (any specialty sauces are honestly pretty tasty, I recommend trying the Green Dragon hot sauce). I'm always down to try new things here since I trust that they usually sell good quality digs. Just make sure to check the expiration dates, since most items don't have a long shelf-life because guess what? Predominantly natural perishable goods decompose quicker than your local mass consumer superstore over-processed crap. But no shame, you do what you can. :^) Some of the items are priced way too high for what they are (salads, ice cream, mochi, hand soaps, sweets) but if you really dig them, I think it's worth it. Everything looks and smells GREAT!

Trader Joe's is a great place to shop party snacks. Also if you are single or a couple who like to prepare meals without left overs. Its not like going to Costco or a Sam's Club where many items have to be purchased in bulk. They have an excellent beer and selection. They are helpful and knowledgeable in helping with wine selections. Over all a friendly vibe. Give Trader Joe's Chico a try.

Everytime I come to Trader Joe's it is such an amazing treat! The selection and the prices of their items are just outstanding. This Trader Joe's was no exception to that with the staff being so friendly. I was literally greeted by every employee I walked by. I had just gotten off of work and was tired, so it made me feel so good to feel appreciated! I told myself that I wasn't going to buy much, so I just grabbed a flower for my mom, a single can of beer, and some popcorn. I did check out the samples and the woman handing them out was so nice. I told her that I probably wouldn't buy the tacos she was serving and her reply with a big smile was "well at least you will know what they will taste like for the future!" She so brightened my day! Definitely will be back to this Trader Joe's when I am in the area again!

Nice employees, good options, but like most Trader Joe's the parking is horrible. Small lot, if you go during the weekend finding a spot can be difficult

Trader Joe's never disappoints and this location is no exception! Parking can be tight during peak hours, but other than that this location has a decent selection of items and they always have what I need in stock. Their frozen section is like no other. When I want alternates to my home cooked meals, they always have a wide variety of frozen meals to choose from. Some of my favorite items in their stores include their hash browns, vegetable fried rice, plantain chips, kombucha, chile spiced mango, their selection of fresh vegetables and fruits, and their flowers and plants. What a great store!!!

I love this place. While it always seems small... I find myself spending lots of time here, going through stuff! BTW... Cauliflower crust pizza! I know... but... like 4 ingredients... killer taste (not cauliflower taste)... I'll be back for that alone! The parking lot is a bit of a nightmare... but the hosts at the checkout stand are always friendly, talkative and delightful! If you want a healthier option... or vegan or vegetarian option... get in here!

I love having a Trader Joe's close to home. I wish the dfw locations were larger like the Austin locations!! Only one frozen aisle tells me there's not the variety like there is at other locations

Trader Joe's is great, but honestly who doesn't know that? You can feel the difference in mood when you walk into a trader Joe's versus any other grocery store. People are nice and really happy to be there, whether they are shoppers or workers. The cashiers are expert baggers and will chat with you about your day. They are genuine. Some food items I love here are the French green beans $1.69 for 1 lb 8 oz bag, which is a great deal; chicken potstickers; weetabix cereal; sweet plantain chips; cowboy caviar; gingerbread men cookies; 5 seed almond bars; frozen roasted corn kernals; soy sauce; everything but the bagel seasoning. I love to read their flyer to see the seasonal products. They also have great flowers bunches and succulents. Take some time to wander and try their samples. There is always something yummy and if you don't like it, they have a great return policy. One item I don't care for is the soy protein powder because it's gritty. They took it back with no problem!

Fun place to get items other stores never have. I'm not trilled how aisles are set up, but I found what I wanted. They even have crispy okra and broccoli in the chip aisle. Going to take these on a winery trip!

I love Trader Joes. They have the best Gluten Free bread and bagels. I was also super excited to find Gluten Free Stuffing! I haven't had stuffing in 7 years. I am so excited. I will update my review to let you know how it is! Trader Joes is one of the stores that no matter if I go in for 1 item or 10 I always walk the entire store. Unfortunately I do not have one close to my house.

Every TJ, I've ever walked into has friendly staff. I always end up chatting with a TJ employee. This time I had a delightful conversation about coffee with a fellow caffeine-a-holic working at one of the registers. The wine department alone at TJ's is a good enough reason to visit. The Charles Shaw "2 Buck Chuck" ($3 in TX) wines are award winning palate pleasing wines. They also have other equally fabulous and reasonably priced wines and beers. It's a great place to purchase wine and beer for events. TJ has all of the departments you'd find at any grocery store, but they also offer some lovely specialty items or limited time items. Most items are very reasonably priced. I buy a lot of staples like organic oatmeal, bagged pre-washed organic salads, coconut oil, tea tree shampoo & conditioner, coffee, etc here. When I hit their frozen food area, I'm a kid in a candy store.....,oh yeah, TJ has some awesome specialty candies here as well. (LOL) There are so many awesome prepared frozen meals, etc. Sometimes I spend 15-20 minutes just browsing that frozen item section. I shall always be a TJ shopper. The parking lot is tiny, but you can legally park along the side street.

Meh, OK. I must confess to being a bit jaded. My father lived in California in the early 80s. I have a distinct memory of Trader Joe's. Foremost was barrels of bulk items. Mysterious items. Things I had not seen before and could not resist buying (or at least trying). I don't recall it being brightly lit. I also recall it being a bit claustrophobic. The first Trader Joe's in Texas has/is none of these things. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice store, but I honestly don't get what all the fuss is over. The prices don't seem to be all that special, and other than the multitude of TJ's branded items (healthy as they may be), it just wasn't that unique. Were this store around the corner from me, I might stop in from time to time out of curiosity (and to check out the tasting station), but I doubt I would make a special trip. That's not to say you shouldn't, but the hype did not live up to my expectations, or memories. PS. Parking lot is being nicely controlled by the Fort Worth Police Department. Be warned though if you don't get a spot in the lot, or on the street, DON'T park in the lots of the neighboring businesses. All have posted "No Trader Joe's Parking" signs, and warn that cars will be towed. PPS. I will add one other thing to this review. My wife grabbed 2 containers of concord grape juice that were marked $2.99 on the shelf (see photo). When we got to the register, they rang up as $4.99. We did get a refund, after queuing at another line, but do keep an eye on the cash register as your items are rung up. Oh, and TJ's solution to the problem was to take the $2.99 price off the shelf, but we did get an apology for the inconvenience. This incident did not affect my rating. PPPS. So I did some reading... Do you know Trader Joe's is owned by the same group that owns ALDI? And the interesting part is it's been that way since 1979.

Disclosure: I am no crunchy/vegan/hippy/super aware consumer type. I know what healthy eating is and some basics but I only go to a specialty grocery store maybe once every 6 months. I thought the parking was frustrating. They know the lot is too small. Take the first spot you see, none are too far from the door. As I said, since I'm not really a grocery store snob, I was a little confused. Everything is "Trader Joe" brand so you actually can't tell (and have to assume otherwise) if something is even remotely local or even made in the US. Their refrigerated food options looked great. I actually don't think it's so much more than a regular grocery store. They had some interesting dry good options I grabbed to try. Chicken broth that has FAR less sodium than anything I have been able to find anywhere. Lots of gluten free options. On to the things I DO know about and the thing that brought me here: face wash. They have an "all-in-one" face wash that made a best natural face wash list or something and I had to try it. I was surprised to see it was like $5 which is a STEAL in the face wash world. I was just looking for something that I didn't think had tons of crazy chemicals. Huge wine selection- you can read more about that in other reviews because I don't drink wine. :)

Trader Joe's, where were you when I lived across the street back in my college days? Even though I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, I still drop by this TJ's location whenever I am on this side of Fort Worth. The stock is typically pretty good of my most requested items (mango yogurt, almond thins, and wine). If they are out of an item, employees are willing to check the back for you and report back on the status. I've not encountered a rude employee at this location, they are all extremely friendly. What more could you want in a neighborhood grocery store? Tons of fresh produce, healthy options, and the prices are pretty reasonable.

Been going to Trader Joe's for many years, just love it! We have to drive a ways to get there but it's worth it. Staff is friendly, excellent selection and great value. I wish there was one in Burleson!

The more I visit traders the less I like it. Each time I come here I wonder why did we come here oh ya terrible crackers and Indian TV dinners. The produce leaves much to be desired and I can't think of anything else I'd purchase here. I must say the employees are great and seem happy to work here so i guess it can't be that bad. This just isn't a store that suits me grocery needs.

This was truly the best shopping experience of my entire existence. I have only shopped at Trader Joe's once or twice, and today I decided to pop in to grab some quick and easy meals for the week since I didn't have the time or energy to drive to HEB. I walked to the front doors and was immediately greeted upon my arrival. I grabbed a cart and was ready to stroll the aisles of TJ's. As I'm shopping a man walks up to me and says, "Hi, friend! Would you like to try some chocolate?" Of course I say yes and eat my chocolate while I continue to shop. Mind you, this was some of the BEST chocolate I have ever had so naturally I had to ask him where I could buy some. Immediately put it in my cart. I keep walking and some very friendly girls who also seem to be shopping strike up a conversation about my sweatshirt. I think to myself, even the customers are so kind and happy to be here! I finally finish grabbing my mixture of fresh and frozen meals (already pre-prepped for the week, just like I wanted) and go to the check out counter. I was greeted by two of the kindest cashiers I have ever had the honor of meeting. We talked our college experience since we were similar in age and I was wearing my Arkansas sweatshirt. I then asked if they had tried the mushroom root beer kombucha. I was eying it because I LOVE me some root beer but wasn't sure since it was kombucha and that doesn't sound like something I would normally enjoy. I had mentioned that I didn't want to buy it and then not like it because that would feel like a waste, but was curious if they had tried it and if it was good or not. The cashier told me "wait once second" and went and grabbed the kombucha with little cups so I could try it!! When I tell you I was stunned. We took our little kombucha shots together and some of the other employees tried it with us. I wasn't expecting her to let me try it at all - just was hoping they could give me their opinion on if it was good or not. I am a changed woman from this experience and I am now a die hard Trader Joe's fan. They can have ALL my money after today's shopping adventure

Organic food at discount prices. Fresh fruit vegetables and meats . Organic spices clean and fresh without pesticides

Bridgette, one of the Store Managers at this location delivers outstanding customer service. She went above & beyond to make sure my family & I were taken care of. We drove 35min to buy these Danish Raspberry Kringle pies & we'd make the trip back just to see her again. Thank you for everything you did for us, you were truly amazing.

Cheap food, good food, great prices, very attentive staff. Way better than the prices at Whole Foods or Central Market. It was wonderful. Loved how easy it was to find things and they don't send you through a maze with only one entrance and one exit like Central Market does. I got organic pineapple juice for $3, organic quesadillas, organic chile rellano, many dairy items for super cheap prices. Also, everywhere you turn there are samples of different foods and very well informed staff to tell you about the foods. The best thing has got to be the free coffee. Definitely the free coffee. And the liquid creamer rather than powder creamer that they have pre-set up. Go here before you check out Central Market and Whole Foods, or even Sprouts. Some items are even cheaper than Wal Mart!

I usually shop my groceries at central market or Whole Foods, but my friend recommended Trader Joe's so I decided to give it a try. I was only going to get a few items and the moment I put my items down by the cash register the cashier walked away. He saw me put my items down and instead of letting me know if he was closed, he just walked away. I moved my items to another cash register and as I was paying he walked back laughing and joking with another cashier. Horrible customer service.

This my favorite store, always fresh food, lot of veggies and fruit choices. Love the veggie frozen rice and the Sea salt brownies

This store is awesome!! Lots of variety of health foods with affordable prices! The prices on greens are amazing and there's a huge variety from wild arugula to cruciferous crunch mix to butter lettuces! Some things, like apples and other fruits, can run expensive. $1.29 each for a large apple is a no-no, by their prices for tomatoes are usually very good- less than a quarter a piece for Roma tomatoes! Some of my staples that I buy here that are super cheap: riced cauliflower ($2.99) , free range organic chicken drumsticks for $1.99/lb, eggs for $.99, frozen turkey burgers for $2.99, flowers for $3.99-9.99 (and they stay fresh forever), frozen mashed sweet potatoes for $1.99, and the Charles Shaw wines for $2.99. They also have the best chewy ginger cookies! Love the variety of wine and beer and hat you can mix and match beer. The employees are nice and do their jobs well. They get you through the line quickly. The parking lot is a little cramped, but just go when it's less busy and that won't be a problem!

It took me a long time to finally visit Trader Joe's. I'm not sure why I was feeling so, "eh, whatever" about this trendy little chain... that was dumb of me, because Trader Joe's is pretty dang awesome! In my head, before I ever went inside, I imagined Trader Joe's as being much, much larger than it is... more like Whole Foods. It was a pleasant surprise to walk inside and be greeted by a charming, simple, not over-stocked store. Besides its very trendy appeal, I started to feel like I was in one of those old-fashioned town markets you'd see on Little House on the Prairie or Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman... (anyone else watch either of these? I loved Sully). Obviously Trader Joe's is not a tiny, hometown grocery, but it still maintains that neighborly, intimate, and wholesome feeling. There aren't rows and rows of perfectly organized items basking beneath fluorescent lights; everything's set up a bit more organically. Like I said, Trader Joe's isn't huge, but there are a ton of quality items to peruse. Great produce, cheeses, wine (3 Buck Chuck!), grass-fed meats, baked goods, etc. Same objects in your typical grocery store, but with a more appealing look and price! Know what? I was really most intrigued by Joe's frozen food items! There was everything! Ethnic cuisine (Spanish, Japanese, Middle-Eastern), healthy looking junk food (corn dogs, chicken nuggets, bagel bite looking' doodads), a huge array of seafood, and a ton of side-dishy options. I ended up buying a bag of "roasted butternut squash risotto." Uhhh... yum! And, if you were wondering, Trader Joe's really does offer competitive prices for most items. You'll definitely save a couple bucks, especially if you're into frozen foods and $3 wine (it's seriously good).

+1 star for coming to Texas but down to 3 stars for lack of organization inside and out in the parking lot. It was so chaotic in here, I felt like i was going to have a panic attack. I love TJ's. I really do. I believe they make quality products and the prices are fairly reasonable especially when they offer a sale. I love their seaweed chips, dried green mangoes, and assorted gummies. I'm surprised this location is so small and cramped considering they're located in FORT WORTH- we're in TEXAS.... I know we have the land to build a decent sized parking lot. I'm glad this store is near Central Market because I can't find everything I need here but most of everything I want.
