French Bakery Petit Grain Boulangerie Opens in Santa Monica This May | Eater LA

"A Taste report takes a closer look at Monrovia’s Trader Joe’s, alleging problematic tactics in which the chain commonly solicits product samples and potential recipe adjustments from bootstrapped founders before inexplicably abandoning negotiations and releasing its own private-label versions of similar products at lower prices." - Cathy Chaplin

Is Fast Food Making Good on Its Promises of Cage-Free Eggs and Humanely Raised Pork? | Eater

"Targeted by a petition and a silent protest from Crate-Free Illinois, the retailer responded that it understands customer concerns and plans to move its fresh pork offerings to a crate-free (gestation and farrowing) supply in the coming months and to label those products accordingly; however, after activists met with executives the company stopped short of a more specific, long-term commitment." - Lynne Curry

On November 3rd, 2025 at 11:31 a.m., I went to Trader Joe's on 604 W. Huntington Dr. , Monrovia for groceries. Trader Joe's is one of my favorite store for their products, their prices, as well as their humble customer services. On that day, I asked them for a product that I purchased last month when I visited the store. I had purchased Honey Comb. It was prescribed for my chronic cough caused by allergies. I thought I'd go to Trader Joe's for their exotic collections. So I went there to look for it & not to any other store. Luckily I found and purchased a small box of Honey Comb. It helped my cough so much so I went back to get more. But I could not find any. Recently they have been changing their shelves frequently. So I had to ask an associate for that particular product. I even had a photo on my phone to show them. The first associate said it was not their product and they never had it. I was very surprised. I said I purchased it from them. Later on, four strong young men came and surrounded me. I am 75 years old on their scooter for disabled person. Four of them told me they checked their computer and it was not their product. I asked them if it could be a sample or a return from another Trader Joe's store. They did not reply. One of the associate, could be their assistant manager, told me, " Try to remember where you really got it. Is it Sprout?" I actually never go to Sprout because I am Trader Joe's customer for a long time. Also because of my health issues I cannot go to multiple stores. Then he had the audacity to tell me that no it's not ours, don't harass our employees," I am writing this for all Trader Joe's customers, Was I harassing employees just by asking for one of their product from their shelves? Or were they disrespecting me by indirectly questioning my integrity. I hope their management or the corporate will know and find out and question the employees working that day for my unpleasant situation. If they search they can find I told the truth.

It was a nice experience when my daughters took me to this store. The employees were friendly. I only needed two items- apples and cinnamon oatmeal and fig bars. There were many shoppers on a Saturday but all the cashier stations were open so it was fast.

The employees are always friendly and helpful. I love all the new products every season to try. Cookie butter is a MUST! I am a little sad that the yogurt packs we normally get have been set back in the chain supply.

Found what I came for treats for my customers. They love them biscottis and chocolate pretzels! 🥨 Staff was friendly😁. Though fellow shoppers are a little inconsiderate. Leaving baskets down the isles. And blocking other customers. More just one did this (5). Please people! 🤨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this Trader Joe’s! The store is always clean, well-stocked, and easy to shop in. The staff are super friendly and helpful—always ready with a smile or a recommendation. Great selection of fresh produce, snacks, and unique finds. Parking is easy too. Definitely my go-to grocery store in the area!

I love all Trader Joe's locations and I try to hit a different one every time I need too! This location (Monrovia) was by far a great one. Not as crowded as most, and a little more spread out.

I witnessed something very upsetting at this store. One of the baggers (Billy) was acting inappropriately toward a cashier, and it was obvious she was uncomfortable and upset. As a customer, it made me really uneasy to see this happening right out in the open. As a father with a daughter, I can’t imagine her being subjected to that kind of treatment at work. No employee should have to deal with harassment, especially while just trying to do their job. Trader Joe’s really needs to reevaluate who they hire and take workplace conduct more seriously to protect their employees and create a safe environment

This Trader Joe's is in close proximity to the head I and is one of the best stores of the brand! Everything was displayed to perfection and atmosphere was warm and inviting! The staff were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating! Joe and Olaff were very helpful and notable with regard to customer service. They both went the extra mile to assist us. Thank you Trader Joe's of Monrovia

I like this little Trader Joe's it's accessible the staff is ultra helpful the turn over rate on the food is amazing and the service is phenomenal here the cashiers look sad if you don't pick their line and a random team member helps if they can I like that so much! Atmospherically it's got low key hometown aesthetics clean and spacious with awesome displays at the end cap!

Clean and well stocked store, employees are friendly and constantly restocking shelves so you will never find empty space ANYWHERE in this store. Prices are very affordable and quality and taste of food items is very good.

This Trader Joes has really great parking (unlike Silverlake and South Pas) and the staff is always so friendly, but it can get so busy during peak hours that it is hard to navigate through the store and the shelves are bare. My tip is to come early in the morning....or go to the Trader Joes a few miles away in Pasadena.

This is my preferred location when shopping. Staff is usually helpful, shelves are always stocked. I find many great items. Checkout is relatively fast, and parking is a breeze. I love that this store is always clean, staff is always moving and arranging items for customers. Many plants and flower arrangements available by the store entrance. Love the wine bottle options and I appreciate the visible item markers.

Steadily busy Sunday at Trader Joe's, purchased a few of our go to's the pork shu mai and the chili crunch. Trying spicy chicken nuggets heard good things the grocery store was open and bright and had fun decor, and was being stocked up while we were walking around. There's two lady's who work that we always run into who are fun and knowledgeable. One reminds me of ms frizzle from magic school bus which is awesome, and another one who let us try something we were on the fence about getting that was good. She was at the far right checkout this time.

This is my local Trader Joe's, and I'm never disappointed when I come. The staff are always SO friendly :') whenever I need something, I'm never scared to ask a staff to help out. They always give such great suggestions too :) Their produce is always so fresh & they're usually pretty stocked in the mornings. PSA if you want a high demand item go to TJs in the morning. If you go past 12pm, you won't have much luck ... especially for popular items. I will always luv u Trader Joe's! :-)

Re TJ Halloween tote bag. Mgr came run after me telling me I alrdy hv 1 & their employee Emil sold me his. They don't have it that day so why calling my attention? I didn't get any that day coz they don't have it!! Next time you should put a sign outside 1 per customer. I heard some went back & got more than 1 set. I was single out? Are they racist ? Prejudice !!! I'm going to return that 1 set to Emil & you guys can shove it !!! Will never shop at your store You're not the only TJ. I don't need to give you my business!!! Will return all my purchases that day. Other TJ let you get as much.

I had a very upsetting experience at this Trader Joe's today. I was waiting in line at one of the registers for about two minutes, clearly standing there ready to check out. Suddenly, a woman came out of nowhere, cut right in front of me from the side, and completely ignored my presence. I tapped her shoulder and told her I had been in line, and instead of apologizing, she rudely asked, "Which line were you in?" as if gaslighting me into thinking I wasn't even there. To make things worse, the male cashier at the register turned around and invited her to check out at his counter, ignoring everything that just happened. I immediately stepped up and said, "I was here first." The cashier looked confused and tried to play it off by saying, "I'll try to check you both check out at the same time." I told him I came first, then he gave me a half-hearted "sorry" with zero sincerity or acknowledgment of what had just happened. This kind of behavior from both a customer and a Trader Joe's employee is completely unacceptable. Is it so hard to respect basic queueing order? Is Trader Joe's okay with enabling rude people to jump the line while ignoring customers who actually follow the rule? I've always liked Trader Joe's, but this kind of treatment was incredibly disappointing. I hope store management takes this seriously, because no one deserves to be treated like they're invisible. This is the worst Trader Joe's experience I've ever had.

The store is usually busy. The fresh produce can show signs of rotting at times. Store employees are nice and helpful. The signage and artwork is always really pretty. Nice customer service, seasonal items and great value.

For the hardworking individuals, they have frozen prepared meals. There are times when I don't have energy to cook dinner from scratch and for those days I feel grateful that there is, Trader Joe's. Service is always great. I use to be a local at the Irvine Trader Joe's + La Habra, Costa Mesa, and now La La land Trader Joe's Long story short: Freshly prepared frozen meals for the family at very affordable prices for the week.

Awesome Trader Joe's with plenty of parking! They are always on top of restocking their inventory and the staff is always really nice. They also provide samples during 2pm-4pm which I've so appreciated as that serves as my lunch for the day.

This is one of my go to locations! It can be busy at times. But parking is plentiful and I've yet to have a bad experience at this location. Even during peak times, I don't have any issues with a timely checkout process. They always seem to be in stock of anything I want to purchase. The staff is friendly and welcoming. About 50% of the time I'm there to purchase fresh flowers. And when I shop there in the evening, they still have plenty fresh flowers to choose from.

Avoid being a customer in this location. Terrible service. The old lady with short hair at the cashier tried to help this business by limiting customers from buying products in the store. If you have a sign limit purchase on the shelf , I'll follow it, but there is not. She rejects selling the product and gives me a bad attitude. I don't understand what I did wrong. Mostly, the Trader Joe's that I have been to make me feel welcome and have good service, but it does not at this location. Another location really welcomes customers differently and never has a problem when I buy any product in the store. I will never waste my time on this location again.

Friendly, consistent, helpful staff. Can get in and out pretty quick, but the upcoming downside might be the parking situation when In-n-Out opens and with the addition the gym - plan ahead. Also, wish the baked products had longer expiration dates...usually 2-3 days from purchase date.

Garrett at 12:23pm called the lady behind me in line to come up to the register. The lady pointed out I was next in line. He didn't say hi, he didn't make eye contact. When I asked "Do you normally call the next person in line?" He said, "Doesn't matter." Usually the people here are very nice. Bad experience.

Did you see their shout out to 2024 Lunar New Year? The Monrovia branch has my heart. Lucky me, although I live an hour away, I work locally so I get the early morning option to browse. Staff remains helpful and friendly, I'm so thankful for the fun atmosphere and cost effective tasty options they have. Means a lot to have such access conveniently located and ever enjoyable with my long commute bracketing my work days.

A lot has change since my last review here. My reason for coming back, is their snacks - the rice cracker medleys, the teriyaki turkey jerky and other goodies. It gets pretty busy here and parking can be challenging. The prices are decent. The employees are a mixed bag, you never know what you're gonna get. Some of them appear to be a big rush to get you out and others want to talk to your ear off. The store is clean and well organized. I recently found our they sell more than food - they also have sunscreen, shampoo and soaps. This plaza does have free EV charging at the Kohl's end of the plaza. But there's usually a line of cheap folks waiting. They can afford high end EV's but don't want to pay for charging, go figure. This Trader Joe's is nice and near the Super Market I goto, so its not out of my way.

Well stocked store but rude employees! Went in because I was in this neighborhood not my usual TJs and it happened to be Easter canvas bag morning. Didn't even notice it as I came in a far door. Saw the bags and went to pick one up and a rude girl raised her voice and asked if I had a raffle ticket. Not knowing anything about this I said no and she points towards the store and says then shopping is that way. She then stared me down as I passed the area again while shopping. Needless to say I won't shop here again. If you don't like your job, find a new one...

Have been here many times and the employees have Always! been very respectful and helpful even when they might be very busy. I always appreciate them. But came in today and looked like they were doing inventory on everything or just refilling. As I was looking through the fruit section there was a young girl (Olivia) and she was standing next to me probably restocking. I stepped away and my husband asked me that he saw that young lady looking down on me and making rude faces and comments to her co worker. I told him I didn't hear anything since I was not really paying attention to my surroundings. I'm deeply upset that they would do this since I'm a very loyal customer at Trader Joe's. I did speak to a cashier and asked for the name of the very rude employee and called the store to let them know of her behavior and was told they would speak to her. I really appreciate it just made my trip shorter to one of my favorite stores.

Stellar Service! Above and beyond the staff and cleanliness of Monrovia TJ's is something you must experience for yourself. We were visiting for the weekend and stopped off for snacks before heading to our Airbnb. The store appearance, selection and display of goods was by far the most impeccable picture of excellence I have ever seen at a TJ's or any other grocery store. From the moment we entered until check-out every employee was super friendly and went out of their way to help and offer assistance. Thank you, Trader Joe's of Monrovia!

Best Trader Joe's location and staff, hands down!! Maybe because it is the flagship store?? Doesn't matter, because compared to some other locations (east) nearby, HUGE difference. EVERYONE at this location is SO KIND, PATIENT, FRIENDLY and actually CARE about people. Not just because they're customers, because they CARE about PEOPLE. They know their customers and families by names. I can even name the staff at this store, and who they are, why they are kind- but only because they were kind to me first and others I have witness over the years. Where I am shopping now, it is night and day. The staff is always talking amongst each other and ignoring customers, especially when they need help or look lost. They get upset when they have to look in the back for an out of stock product. So is so strange to me it is the same company. Maybe because they're mostly college students working at this store? Whatever the management at the Monrovia location, they need to spread it to the nearby locations. I have been spoiled by this location, and after moving to another city down the road after 10 years, I still find myself go back to Monrovia TJ's just because everything there just feels good. The store is always very clean, and very stocked, very friendly and helpful (HUGE difference- try it out for yourselves). For some reason the quality of the produce is also always better. I do not normally get rotten organics when I bring them home, unlike a nearby location. PLEASE spread your management and staff to the nearby stores. Promote them or something. This is long overdue, review but my family and I have always appreciated of Monrovia! Thank you!!!

Very old school and hidden trade joes located around these shoppes! But very much had the Trader Joe's brands and quality. I came in here during a back to back meetings rush and I quickly grabbed their fresh vanilla bean Greek yogurt which was fresh and in stock followed by some kettle chips that were very well priced! Staff was over friendly and the store was very clean and easy to navigate during a rush hour. Cashiers were very quick and didn't forget to give me a spoon for my yogurt. Very lowly location in Monrovia! Not a modern Trader Joe's but very much worth the time and the money!

Since I brought my food and drink for my work's lunch hour earlier today, I had enough time to grocery shop today for work's break room which needed some more coffee items. Due to visiting the 'Hart House,' Monrovia this week for my Carrot Top Check-In Badge, I wanted to come supporting this Trader Joe as well. I recalled that I have been here last year when I was already working in Arcadia before this second time. Anyways, I spotted cute wall decors throughout this supermarket~they were so cute I had to take some pics as shown below. I also stumbled upon some awesome ground coffee item sales for my work's break room. I (decided) trying Trader Joe's Arabica coffee which was on sale for $4.99 a bag of ground coffee. What a deal!!!! I should have bought 2 bags. So I donated that bag of coffee to work on top of two other snack items: 'Inner Peas' and a box of Scottish cookies. I was in and outta here in exactly as short as thirty minutes. What an efficient cashier since she was super fast! I'll be back again for sure!

I'm not sure if it's poor customer service or just a lack of training. First, when I was trying to find ice wine in the wine section, I saw a woman who appeared to be a manager showing a trainee around. I asked her where I could find ice wine, but she told me to wait until they were done. So, I stood there waiting while they finished talking. Afterward, the manager left without even acknowledging me, and the trainee then told me they didn't have any ice wine. Fine. Then, when I went to the cashier to pay, the cashier skipped over me and served two people behind me instead.

This was the least organized store as far as releases go. Came here to get the mini totes. I was told the day before by a cashier there that they have 3 releases times: 8am, 12pm, and 6pm, that the afternoon would be better than the morning. So I made plans to come in for the 12pm, 2 hours wasted. At 11am we heard from people in line that if we didn't have a ticket we would not be getting bags, yet employees told us nothing. No one came out or no sign was put up informing us this information. Trader Jo's finally sent out an associate to come out 30 minutes before 12pm, telling us the tickets were given out already but didn't know any information other than that. Then a guy manager finally came out at 12pm and said that they already sold out for the day before the line even moved. Though had no information either and it wasn't until the lady manager at the door told us rudely we are not getting any. She stated the tickets had already been passed out at 8am for the 12pm and 6pm releases, so for those that do not have a ticket we would not be getting any at all. Everyone that was in line was confused and upset, there was no sign stating anything about the tickets already given out. It is unfair for those who come out at the release times and wait for hours, when we should have been told tickets would be given out at 8am. She said there was a lot of people waiting at 8am so they decided to pass out all the tickets at that time and have ppl just come back with their tickets to claim their bags. Upon asking how could they better manage this confusing situation or improve, she replied that they will be doing the exact same thing the next day. I ended up going to one near San Marino and their team handled it way better than this place ever could.

I've shopped at many Trader Joe's in my time and this is my favorite Trader Joe's location. What sets this Trader Joe's apart is the parking situation. Trader Joe's typically find themselves in the worst plazas/lots. Either right spaces (former Arcadia), terrible lot layout (San Marino), etc. there is something always terribly wrong with the parking. This one has a parking lot that is simply normal. With that aside, the location is also new and clean and it's relatively unbusy for a Trader Joe's. Sometimes, there are empty checkout lanes on a weekend afternoon (~3 pm)! Which is amazing for Trader Joe's. All in all, if you are looking for a Trader Joe's, this is the one! Parking: The store is located in a strip mall and there is plenty of parking out front. Spaces are generously sized and parking lot layout/flow is smooth. You may need to walk a little further than normal as it's a big plaza but it's worth it for the hassle free parking. Other: There are a lot of good meal options (Chipotle, Rubio's, Panera, etc.) and shopping options (Kohl's, Burlington, Marshall's) in the same plaza.

Trader Joe's Monorovia branch is a very spacious, clean and very organized. The layout is similar to several Trader Joe's branches, but I like the layout of the wine area. It is very gorgeous. Also, they have nice collection of flowers and roses. All Trader Joe's products are beyond expectations. Throughout the year or to be more specific in every season, you will be fond of the new products; either desserts,cakes, cheese,frozen section,ice cream, mochi ,random products, home supplies or even their marvelous beauty products. In addition to their high quality of meat and seafood products. Unfortunately, they have limited quantities specially for the limited time products, but this strategy is fun because if you are a regular customer you will be waiting for the product you fell in love with for next year! Back to Monorovia branch; the staff is very attentive and friendly. The parking lot isn't an issue at all. I really enjoyed shopping at Monrovia branch.

This is my go-to Trader Joe's. Easy to find parking, store is clean and staff is always very helpful! For those who are new to the TJ craze, you have to check out their assortment of snacks (I've tried alllll the snacks) and frozen food. They curate recipes/dishes from around the world and package them into amazingness. As an Asian, I would never buy frozen Asian food (Kimbap, Orange Chicken, Soup Dumplings, etc.) but Trader Joe's does it right. It's also really exciting trying all their seasonal items like truffle ketchup, ube pancakes, etc. Trader Joe's really makes the grocery shopping experience fun. Pro tip: If you're traveling internationally, highly recommend buying their snacks and nuts to gift to friends abroad.

Trader Joe's is the best for those who love to have specialty items and your groceries all in one store. Anytime I want to plan a date with the hubby, we always grab items for a charcuterie board and wine. My favorite brownie mix is also here, truffle brownies. It is soooo moist and delicious. Perfect also if you want to create a tea party as they have a scone mix that is great and lots of unique snacks that would look great on a a tea set. They also have so many unique frozen foods from all over the world you can try. Many flowers and plants. I love buying herbs and planting in my garden. They grow so well! There isn't probably anything I don't like here. Actually, maybe not their everything bagels. *shrugs* Favorite products: Charcuterie board products, especially the triple cheese bri, social crackers and mascarpone. Mascarpone tastes amazing with some honey drizzled on it Wild arugula - best arugula to add to New York style bagels and avocado toast Truffle brownie mix- Top favorite brownie mix Mozarella balls- they have several choices and great to throw in salads (like they do in Italy) Orange Chicken- We love to cook this and put on top of salad. Great alternative to going to restaurants and tastes the best compared to other brands Speculos Cookie Butter- A gingerbread spread that tastes delicious with apples or in waffles This location is particularly great because it is in a large plaza and you always find parking. Other trader joe locations it take 10 minutes to find parking. The employees are super nice and they follow great safety protocols and wipe carts for you.

I fell in love with this Trader Joe's the first time I came by. I came here to get ingredients for my holiday charcuterie board. They have a variety of cheese to choose from. My favorite is the Trader Joe's unexpected cheddar cheese. It was crumbly, full of flavor, and it paired well with crackers. I also like the Trader Joe's brand mix nuts and dry fruits. They are my choice of healthy snacks. It could also be a nice addition to the charcuterie board. The staff are friendly, and there are plenty of parking spaces. This Trader Joe's is located in a big shopping plaza that have various stores. I can run all of my errands at one stop.

One of the employees is super rude. She told me "1 per household" with an attitude and gave me a hard time. A different employee told me "1 per person" so there is a miscommunication between them.

I know! Trader Joe's!! Where can you browse and find new delicious new discoveries? The aisles are well stocked. They know about fronting and facing challenges to make items look full and interesting. Sometimes disappointing because of their replacement profile. Ie green onions! Really a staple and only two boxes per delivery? Can it be up'ed? However, when you shop, most customers are nice and the cashiers are always friendly; How has your day been so far? Did you find everything? Oh, by the way, I just had a great experience at this place!!! You might enjoy it!! Just normal nice dialogue at a TJ's.

I shopped at a few Trader Joe's stores but I have to say this is one of my favorite ones to shop at. The store is always clean and the staff is always friendly. There is plenty of parking but it does get pretty packed during the weekends. I came here a few times to get a salad for dinner (usually after 7:30pm) and half of the time they ran out of forks.

I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Annette and Bryan at Trader Joe's Monrovia store. and I cannot say enough about their exceptional service Both Annette and Bryan provided outstanding customer service with their professionalism. Their dedications to making customers feel valued and well cared for is very much appreciated. Trader Joe is so lucky to have such wonderful team members and I look forward to my next visit. Thankful to the remarkable customer service from Annette and Bryan again. Highly recommended!

Worst customer service ever! Employees are very rude and waste your time. If you have any questions make sure you don't ask the short lady with blonde hair. She is rude and is full of herself. She came over to me and asked if I am here for the mini lunch bag. I said yes and she goes well there's a line outside but I DONT THINK YOU WILL MAKE IT. What does that even mean???

Trader Joe's snacks are like no other. I had been missing Trader Joe's since the pandemic happened, but every time I'd try to visit this place, there was always a crazy long line. Recently, I decided to go at around 11AM to bite the bullet and wait in line. To my surprise, the line was much shorter than usual. Typically, the line would go as far as the old Bed, Bath, and Beyond or even Toys R Us, but on my recent visit, it was around the Petsmart area, which was GREAT! I waited in line outside for about 5 minutes, which wasn't too bad. My main desire was to get my hand on some Ube mochi mix and Ube ice cream. I must've been in luck, cause they had both. My dreams came true as this was all I really wanted. I ended up buying a few more things, because it's TJs and how can you not? They currently have a limit of 30 guests, so be prepared to wait outside for a while on a busier day. Otherwise, the registers have no wait once you're in , and they're also fully stocked with most of the things you need!

When coming to Trader Joe's I don't recommend coming on an empty stomach, or else you'll end up buying everything! Or at least some things you don't normally buy, but did because it looked delicious in the store. I've been to this Trader Joe's a few times, but did buy much until this trip, which I was hungry and it was dinner time. Due to the pandemic they are limiting the number of people in the store. So expect to wait in line. It wasn't too bad, the line extended just past Unleased (Petco). Parking here is super plentiful, never have to wait for a spot. It shared with many other stores like Kohl's, Marshals, Bed Bath and Beyond, and a few others. The food here is pretty neat and unique. Had some really great finds on this shopping trip, bought my annual box of ginger snaps, which was the only reason why I stepped foot here. I ended grabbing a basket full of other things too. Tried out some of their frozen food items in bags and their baked goods. I was so excited to get home to eat all my new goodies. Their garlic cheese bread sticks are so nice and soft. It paired nicely with the risotto found in the frozen food section. Definitely looking forward to my next trip back when I finish all my ginger snaps or if I'm itching for a snack. I heard that the pandemic and the stay home orders have made us all into a bunch of snackers! Happy snacking!

This is my local trader joes store and i have been visiting this location for over 6 years. During this time i have had mixed customer service. The online community raves about how trader joes associates are so friendly and flirt with them but i usually dont get that experience. Sometimes i wont even be asked how i am by the cashier so even get a hi. I often times find the items i am shopping for out of stock and if you come at night or on the weekends, many things will be out of stock as well. Overall, this rating is based on the customer service. I visited last week at night where there were so many registers open and no one offered to ring me up although they saw me...that was a weird experience for me.
