Trader Joe's

I’m back at La Cañada Flintridge shopping at Trader Joe’s on Foothill Blvd. So many organic foods, snacks, desserts & drinks selling for high price. My search is successful. Demo foods, snacks, drinks & much more. This is store is packed up so busy looking around the items. Fresh & clean. Highly recommended. Bring your friends & family to go shopping together. Be sure to find a parking lot before it gets full.

What is there not to like about Trader Joe’s. You can do most of your shopping there. Good selection of items and fair prices. Wine selection is very good with hustle buys offering best deals. Look for new items section where you will find new or seasonal items that me be limited for testing. Cheese selection is very good and prices are very competitive.

There's a decent amount of parking. It's a little tight when it gets really busy, but I've always found a spot. They are friendly, as per usual. Things are usually in stock, but I also don't tend to shop during peak hours... so...

It's always a pleasant experience going shopping to trader Joe's. The employees are respectful and ready to assist you in any case. It has been a very good experience for me.🙏❤️

What a great store and friendly staff. They may not carry everything, but the basic are cheaper than Ralphs.

This place is far too crowded for my comfort. Also their wine and beer selection is mediocre at best. Who wants to drink 2022 red wines. They haven't even aged enough to be called a wine. Staff is courteous and friendly, but it's just not a great vibe with the amount of hyper pompous people crammed into one place all shopping for the same stuff. It's all about me, me, me. Yikes.

Fresh, Good quality produce, vast selection Friendly, helpful staff

I shopped there on Monday and the cashier put all 9 of my grocery bags on the floor! Why didn’t she pull the cart thru and place them in the cart? Is this something new that they are doing? I was so disgusted, I couldn’t even say anything. I had to scrub all my counters down in my kitchen when I was through putting the food away. Her name was H, Nelly. I just don’t get it…

Wonderful branch, always beautifully laid out and organized. Parking lot is big, but shares space with other businesses. Still some of the best and most Affordable meat products around in 2025. Thank you employee Cayden for your service today, August 4 2025.

The Trader Joe's at this location is relatively small and packed, but clean and organized inside. Staff working here is very friendly and helpful, assisted me finding the items I need promptly, and checkout process is easy.

What the heck!! I bought this cheese about 1.5 weeks ago, and have kept it refrigerated 24/7. We haven't even reached the sell by date of 5/16 and it's already 1/2 moldy! Such a waste!! What's up TJs???

Bobby Gonzalez, the crew member was such an amazing person to experience and helped me so much find everything i needed. 10/10 can't wait too shop here again!

The store has everything you'd expect from a Trader Joe's, and the parking lot is as cramped and impossible as those at all other TJs. What sets this location apart is that it's the meeting place of all of the Karens in the universe. They're cutting you off with their BMWs in the parking lot, flipping their tennis hats/ponytails as they cut in line, talking loudly into their massive cell phones while handling all the produce. It's really quite a sight. It's not a great advertisement for La Canada. And frankly, I often drive farther to the TJs on Arroyo, where the people aren't so entitled and oblivious.

The frozen food products are very salty Sometimes the products are outdated Most Trader Joe's are very clean

I came in today by request of one of my clients that needed a Trader Joe's run for some crackers and blueberries. I was in and out quickly and swiftly! Not too familiar with the layout of the store because this is not my usual Trader Joe's, I asked a gentleman where the crackers were located and he was kind and courteous in directing me to the right spot! Store was clean and well stocked! Parking was a little difficult but after a while I found a space!

I'm a regular at this particular Trader Joe's because they usually have stock on eggs. Glendale Trader Joe's are always sold out. Why is this a big deal? A couple of weeks ago, Ralphs and Vons were selling a dozen eggs for $7. Trader Joe's is the cheapest of all the markets when it comes to eggs. Trader Joe's is selling their eggs for $2.99 and I'm eating at home more because I'm saving up for a Las Vegas vacation.

Returning today and had to give an explanation of why o was returning each item and then asked if I had receipt When I do show my receipt they say oh you don't need that when I tell them what's wrong g with product sone say oh oh no need to explain where's the consistency they akways say you can return ( other stores you can return too ) no problem

I always look forward going to Trader Joe's. This location has the best customer service so far. Around two employees asked me if I needed any help which was really nice. It was a busy day, but they try to be accommodating. I love the bouquet / flower selection they have too.

Come here every week and never disappointed! Love their plants - so much cheaper than Armstrong and the quality is outstanding! The workers are always so friendly and helpful!

If you can, please shop at another Trader Joe's. Although the cashiers were very friendly and helpful, the front desk individuals near the entrance were very unwelcoming. They stared us down at the entrance and followed us everywhere we went. They even came to follow us outside to the plant area. We were the only Hispanic family at the store at that time and it definitely felt very intimidating being stared down. I hope those two individuals can improve their customer service skills as I've been to TJs and have never experienced such behavior or profiling.

Classic Trader Joe's in a nice sized parking lot with a Starbucks and Petco. Came here during March 2020 quarantine time and they gave you a cart with a sanitized handle and an antiseptic spray before going in. Lots of stuff in stock, lots of stuff missing, but they are getting loads every day. Senior hour during quarantine is 9-10am. March 2020 hours 9am-7pm

Love this location! Everyone that works here is super nice and helpful. You can tell that they genuinely like each other too. Great dynamic and vibes. Store is always clean and inviting and there's always someone asking me if I found what I was looking for.

This Trader Joe's is smaller than the one in Montrose and Glendale, but has everything "TJ's" that your looking for... except: BASIL alot of times. Yup, the basil supply here runs out pretty quickly. I am told that there is a "pizza guy" in town that buys it all up when he runs low. Oh well (shrug). Anyhow, the best part about shopping at this location are: from the employees to the customers that shop here, people are very friendly and considerate... a small town kinda vibe. I love that.

Ive been going to this Trader Joes for more than 20 years. The staff are, for the most part, very pleasant and helpful and the store is very well stocked. However, I would advise to avoid the first check out line by the entrance door as that card reader tends to be a bit faulty. I have observed it happen to several people and have it happen to me twice where I am doing EXACTLY what the reader is prompting me to do and it either doesn't read the card or the system deems it as fraud because I have tried one too many times. And I know the cashiers were trying to be helpful but today (and the other time this happened), the machine prompted me to insert my card + pin number. I did and, apparently, it didn't go through. Then it prompted me to swipe, so I did. It didnt go through again. The cashier then tells me I am supposed to insert the card-- not swipe-- as if I am doing something wrong or incapable of following instructions. I know how to read and am doing exactly what the system is telling me to do. Please fix the system or the card reader. It's frustrating!!

The staff here and I believe all the Trader Joe's are just amazing! I've yet to have an associate not willing to assist me in finding something in the store. Incidentally, I can often ask them if they tried a particular item and they'll give me their honest feedback. And if I buy something and it's not to my liking, I can bring in the packaging with my receipt and get store credit or an exchange for something else. But what I appreciate most, is that I can ask any associate for suggestions on creating a gift basket. They provide me suggestions based off what they see and have tasted. In short, like other Trader Joe's, this location has a great staff just like the other locations.

This review is for Josh Kendall, who is one of the store managers. I had been shopping here for years and had always been happy with the products and staff, until one day I encountered Josh Kendall. He was very rude and arrogant and talked to me with an attitude, as if he was in higher social class. Because he was so rude, I even asked him whether he had a bad day and reminded him I was a customer and he should be polite to me. When I asked to speak to a manager, he was even more arrogant and pointed to his name tag and told me "I am the manager!". I wonder what the hiring process is that allows such a rude person to become a manager and treat the customers so poorly. I've talked to other managers there and they are all very nice people. When you shop at this Trader Joe's, watch the staff's name tags and be careful when it says Josh Kendall.

TJs parking lots are never big enough but who cares! They still have great items especially snacks and frozen foods. The produce is decent but not as good as the expensive Whole Foods. The staff is always nice and friendly enough. The store is always well stocked and clean.

Good sized parking lot, Unique foods near= to Sprouts, Unique Intel frozen foods: Thai, Chinese, Mexican, Indian E, Italian, frozen rices & more Good wines, try 4.00 Chuck wines Has best French made Sangria. Intl wines, beers Good snacks, fruits, too. Montrose store has limited parking

Trader Joe's, what can I say about it? I am a long-time TJ fan/customer and have been to many locations throughout the many SoCal locations. I like this location since it is close-by to my gas (hydrogen) station and next to Ralphs. Additionally, this location seems fully-stocked, with lots of available parking, and, most importantly, well-maintained clean bathrooms. Some reviewers have complained about mistreatment about Covid-19, but I understand they are just doing their jobs. Maintain six feet social distance is a small ask not to get sick. Last night, I do recall I had to wait in line with six people in front of me and did not have to wait long. I will return again soon.

This Trader Joe's is back up to 5-stars again. They seem to have addressed the crew members about looking annoyed when restocking and being asked to step aside or help grab an item they're blocking with their carts/crates. It feels like it's returned to the local store vibe that I've always loved about this location.

I like how you can always get a parking spot at this Trader Joe's. Also, it isn't one of those cramped stores--the aisles are broad and the store never feels crowded so it is easy to navigate and you don't wait in line a long time. It is easy to get to (right off of Gould) and near a Starbucks! The staff are also friendly and helpful (as at all Trader Joe's). Finally, they have a picnic table near the flower area, in case you need/want to eat your lunch.

Friendly staff, parking is a bit tight, but there are always cars moving in and out. During the safer home order, TJ's did an awesome job in keeping crowds minimal inside and although there is a line outside that extends all the way to petco's it does go by pretty quick. Probably waited in line for 10 minutes vs 20 minutes at Ralphs. Best to avoid morning traffic when the line is longer. I like how employees provided you a card with wipes and antiseptic spray before going in. I am happy that they limit how much meat and eggs and recognizing that individual customer's shouldn't be allowed to unfairly empty the stores . Super impressed!

I'm always a fan of TJs- recently I was in La Canada (at HomeGoods!) and decided to look up a nearby Trader Joe's for some weekly provisions. Their parking lot is shared with other businesses, so you're bound to find a spot even if it's not superclose to the store- no biggie. They had an impressive display of orange pumpkins on hay bales out front, as well as the fun Cinderella-style ones in multiple colors. Inside they had all of the fun & novelty "everything pumpkin spice" seasonal offerings- I picked up some pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin muffin mix, and my usual grocery staples. This TJs is spacious and wasn't overly busy for a weekend afternoon and the standard friendly service- I wouldn't hesitate to swing by again when I'm in the area.

i absolutely love this store! all the workers are very helpful especially Matt!!! he is such a great guy very kind and fun to talk to! the vibe is wonderful of course the food is great! awesome selection and workers know their stuff! thanks so much matt give this guy a raise!

(Shopped 08/24/14 SU @ 1:30pm): This Joe may be average but they always had what I needed at wonderful prices and helpful super-chill employees! After 21 Yelp check-ins and counting, I felt I finally owed it to my hometown Trader Joe's a review it so rightfully deserved...especially since one stipulation was that I reviewed ANYTHING where I had some kind of experience whether transactional or entertaining. To those (and I've found many) who felt a review for a "chain business" was beneath them, your apathy and disregard for the true usage and business model of Yelp dismayed me. With that being said, let the claws come out!: Bananas ($0.19 ea.) - Forever a swimmer, these were one of my staple grocery items that must be bought here. The size and shape were usually good. Sometimes I had to wrestle the older customers for the green ones that lasted longer. Stay away...those are mine! Milton's Whole Grain Plus Bread ($3.49) - A bit more pricey than most loaves, this particular one was generally lower in both calories and sodium for those who were watching either. The taste was great and the heartiness held you over throughout the day. Plus, I found this loaf to stay fresh longer so little to no spoilage. Wines...wines...wines ($35.44) - I found that this location carried a unique and varied selection of varietals from regions all over the world at some of the best prices compared to other grocery, liquor or specialty stores. Sure, they had a staple collection of wines but during each visit you're almost gauranteed to spot something new. With prices that ranged from $2.50-$35.00, there was bound to be something for everyone. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=ealE-Zr8S-YavQ51jYcw3Q Service - Impeccable - from the happy greeters, to the helpful stockers, the always cheerful samples person and the casual checkers. The relaxed vibe similar to that of a hippy commune was alive and well here and I'm ready to join! Parking (free) - This was the one knock I had about this location. Located in a small outdoor shopping center that included a Starbucks, Aaron Brothers, PetCo and a U.S. Bank, the whole lot from the driving lanes, each spot and the two entrances/exits were tight. If things were any tighter diamonds would be squeezed from the asphalt! Do yourself a favor and park in the outer rim of the lot. If you couldn't walk this, you were a sorry lazy arse! Atmosphere, décor, ambience - Quaint, snug but familial may be the best descriptive words. The shopping carts and carriages were parked outside. Once inside, a small fruits and vegetable section to your right, refrigerated items along the right and back walls. A couple short aisles of canned and packaged goods in the center, the wine section in the left-hand corner, other alcohol and water along the left wall, and finally 4-5 checkout aisles with a customer services counter in the corner before you left. Plenty of natural and electric lighting that guided you. And since each store handled its own decorations and marketing, vibrant colored chalk messages scrawled on black boards and displays were found everywhere. There were no TVs or background music. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=700&select=LMd1OZ42orSihYjbW9-g3g Attire - Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, Trader Joe's in La Canada Flintridge continued to be my favorite location because I got to support my hometown neighborhood and the familiarity of it all. Generally speaking, more people should shop them than the bigger grocers if you needed something quick and simple for lunches or dinners. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total paid experience was around $43.00; no tip required). Honestly, the prices and service simply kicked arse! And they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 5.0 STARS

I love our Trader Joe's! Such a great selection and so many items have become our favorites. Really happy with the vegetable choices, the packaged spinach, arugula, herbs...my preferred store for veggies. I try to buy everything from TJs. The team is so friendly and helpful! I love the way they control entry of a limited number if people to ensure distancing. So many stores have stopped this.

This review is inspired by crew member Cesar. His customer service is exemplary. Even though we have had minimal interactions in the past, he recognizes me and my wife (even wearing masks) and makes it a point to greet us. We don't go to the store that often either, kudos to his memory as well. In a time where society is keeping us distanced, I appreciate old school customer service and graciousness. He should be an example to everyone. Excellent job, and gem employee. Trader Joe's is a great store, will continue coming here.

Always friendly and prompt service. I would always get their premade salads and their frozen goods. I live off this stuff. Salads always look full and fresh and they always have a full display of then as workers are constantly stocking the shelves. Prices are really good here.

I love Trader Joe's! They're my go-to grocery store. I get all my grocery staples here. See pictures for some of my kitchen staples & good deals. Some highlights for me: 1. Unique spices and seasonings! Everything but the bagel, onion salt, umami seasoning (this is new!) 2. Baby avocados - 6 for $2.99. Perfect size for one person/serving and amazing deal! 3. FREE SAMPLES 4. Life changing almond butter - I've tried many and this is by far the creamiest one. The oil often separates but this one doesn't at all. It's JUST almonds. 5. Great produce prices. 6. Great, health conscious lunch options. My current favorite is the lemon chicken and arugula salad. 7. Pre-made chicken!! Perfect to throw into salads or wraps. 8. Quinoa/lentil based pasta. Really great GF options! 9. Breakfast trek mix is easy to throw into your bag as a quick, filling snack. 10. Cauliflower gnocchi- amazing freezer meal option. 11. PLANTS - great deal and great variety. 12. I even love their skincare products like their lotions and cleansers! (This is a game-changer, making TJ a one-stop shop for all I need!) I want to live here. I honestly come here to just de-stress sometimes... I don't know why, walking through the aisles make me SO HAPPY! I love this Trader Joe's because parking is easy and always available. The only time it's bad is around 4-6 PM.

Parking always bad but not the fault of the store or staff. Some staff do need better training in customer service. Understandingly staff wants to be protected from Covid but clerks get irritated when someone goes to use the debit/credit device just to the side of the plexiglass. If it's a problem management should have wider plexiglass or move the devices. I like Trader Joe's but won't come back to this one. Customer service is much better in Glendale store.

I love Trader Joe's! They have a great system set up to battle Covid-19. They limit the number of people in and out of the store. My favorite is how they hand you a clean cart as you walk in. No need to clean it yourself. The store itself is pretty small but they carry all I need. I love their banana chips (it's a purplish bag). I can literally eat a whole bag in one day. The employees are super friendly and willing to help. Everything is typically well stocked and the store is always neat/clean. Parking may suck sometimes since the parking lot is shared with other businesses like Starbucks and an urgent care. I really love their frozen section (their pot stickers + orange chicken are delicious). There are clear instructions throughout the store to ensure the safety of customers and employees. Make sure to read the instructions at the registers as well. Their flowers are also always beautiful here.

Love this place!! So many healthy food choices. Salad section is the bomb!! Often there is someone serving samples which have tasted so good, I've bought it. There's always something new to try.

I would give this 10 stars if I could. I absolutely adore this store! The samples are great, and it's an awesome way to try out new products. I come here almost weekly, and it's amazing every time! They have fresh, organic, healthy food which is absolutely amazing! What do I like the most? EVERYTHING.

Make sure you step on the blue box at check out or the check out guys will treat you like a dirty infectious carrier. I WAS stepping on the box, maybe not squarely, but don't deserve that kind of discourtesy. Or maybe because I'm not white, like both of them were? I thought about posting this review because the manager didn't sound sincere about taking to the persons concerned. I felt I was just being patronized. I really liked coming to this store, even if I'm from the Pasadena area. Now, I'll just go back to the Hastings Ranch TJ. At least there i was always treated well.

I like this TJs. They are very careful about the pandemic, cleaning every cart, making sure everyone is properly wearing a mask and offering hand spray if you want it. There is usually a line, but that's okay with me because the store isn't crowded when you get in, and you can move around without being nervous about distancing. The staff is friendly. I've never had trouble parking.

Sucks that your closed on thanksgiving . And it says open on yelps lame link. Stupid . I am in the parking lot and at least 20 people have walked up like wtf?! Traderfail

Great food! Great employees! You can try anything in the store before purchasing and you can return anything no matter how much you've eaten. Please put your grocery carts away instead of leaving them in front of a parking spot for someone else to put away for you.

I frequently visit this Trader Joe's and find myself satisfied with almostttttt every visit. Sadly they were out of the tortellini that I love and recommend to everyone! My fav grocer, Elisa (blonde cutie), checked me out whilst maintaining chipper conversation. Would visit again! But not for produce...no offense

When it comes to holiday items, Trader Joe's is the place to go to get the unique Trader Joe branded holiday snacks.

I LOVE this Trader Joe's location! The entire crew is amazing! During Covid, this store has been the safest to shop at. Thank you everyone!

Trader Joe's products are great but most of the employees here aren't helpful at all. Their attitudes suck. I was there a few days ago and struggling to put some items in my car. A few TJ employees passed by and didn't bother asking if I needed help... and they weren't on their breaks. I was parked kind of on a slope and my cart was getting away from me. It was hard to manage the cart and putting the items in the car. They saw me time and time again and didn't even bother asking me if I needed help. They suck!

i have been a loyal Trader Joe's customer for many years. This unit on Foothill in La Canada has been one that i have shopped for years because of the premier customer service and product selection. I was shopping today and questioned a clerk about a product and got an answer very quickly. this seems to be the Trader Joe' s standard. respond and act.. my current favorite is the Burgundy produced Champs and Chard: both delicious and reasonably priced. Also, La Canada Traders has a better wine selection than most stores. And now: PUMPKIN ICE CREAM! (need i say more?)

I was just at this store and bought a few items and one of the item was Red Seedless Grapes and once i was home my girlfriend noticed they were rotten and mushy, she said it should be a crime to sell fruit and produce like that. I live over in the city of Sunland, so by the time i drive back there and the gas i spend going back there is not worth it to return them. So in the trash they went The grapes cost me $3.69 The store should really make the drive over to my place and bring me another basket of grapes that are good in quality. The best thing i can think of is not to buy any produce from this place. This is not the first time this has happened to me, the last couple of times i just shrug it off, but i figure i should warn other people. The store is kept clean and the parking lot is fairly large. The store has a lot of great items... The person or people working in the produce section needs to check the stock more often or maybe they need to be re-trained for their job so this does not happen in the future.

This TJ's is my absolute lifeline for eating semi-healthy semi-prepared packaged meals and not all fast food crap like Jack-In-The-Box tacos and dollar chicken sandwiches. This TJ's blends in with all the others and I wouldn't recommend coming here between 5-6:30pm on weekdays unless you want to deal with minivan mom's grabbing last minute fix-its for their kids. My other recommendation would be to park as far away from the store as possible to avoid said distracted minivan mom drivers, carts, kids, and old geezers driving Cadillacs who have no idea of the turning radius of their huge cars. Just yesterday I stocked up on the essentials... BBQ Chicken Pizza (only $3 each), frozen chx breasts, frozen veggie packs, and some pre-made salads (most run about $3-$4 each) for lunch. And sadly yes, I'll probably be back to TJ's in a few days avoiding moms, kids, and Cadillacs to restock the shelves at the bachelor pad.

This Trader Joe's is Always super clean and well stocked. The employees are always very helpful, lines are never long, and it's right next to a Starbucks and a Petco. What else could I want? I can come here grab a coffee to wake up in the morning, grab my dogs their kibble, and walk on over to Trader Joe's refresh bouquet of flowers for my table and stuff for dinner.

Small Trader Joe's location in La Canada. There's always a steady flow of people in and out and the staff is generally helpful. This specific clientele here are a bit hmmm ... uppity for my taste. I've gone here for many years and I can say that I get that feeling quite a bit. The staff generally make up for it. Love the produce and selection.

I love everything about Trader Joe's! They always have unique findings. Let's not forget there prices!
