Trader Joe's

Always a great shopping experience. Fruit is ripe and priced competitively. Lots of organic options available. Local options for beer with a good variety. Don’t forget to pick up the lava cakes and French vanilla ice cream.

What a great neighborhood business to have in Garden Home! Today I was behind an elderly lady in line and she was short a few dollars to pay for all of her items. Another customer and myself were both getting ready to pitch in but the cashier took it upon himself to 'cover'' the difference. I have read that TJ'S employees are empowered to make those small decisions that make a difference. Kudos to you and your crew! Well done Trader Joe's.

On Labor Day 9/1/2025, while shopping at Trader Joe's on Garden Home Road in Portland, OR, my wallet was stolen from my purse. Yesterday I asked the people at the TJ desk if they had video tape, and they said they have no cameras. I asked why not? I was informed the manager believes it would not be good for Trader Joes customers to think we are watching our shoppers. I told her I'm a shopper and it's very bad for me because of what happened. Don't I count? She said she was sorry. I asked if there was a speaker system. She said only in the back for the employees. Today, 9/5/2025 I'm still working on cleaning up all the red tape from the theft of my wallet. Looks like Trader Joes values their appearance and image, more than the safety of the customers. No more TJ.

Employees are pretentious and rude, I’ve been in this area since garden home Thriftway and I love Garden Home overall but this stores employees are very rude and passive aggressive. Love Trader Joe’s overall but this store has a very Portland pretentious compared to Tigard or Lake O store even.

They have things no one else has. Their Trader Joe's Super Premium ice cream is the best! Their frozen selection is the bomb. Try the Apple Blossoms and Lava Cakes.

Always fun to shop at Trader's Joe...the store is uniquely positioned and carry enough interesting items to keep me going there. Clean store and friendly staff make a huge difference! 😊

We love this Trader Joe's! The staff are friendly + helpful and easy to connect with! When my son was younger, they offered to help me out with groceries which was so amazing! We never need to wait long to get our groceries checked out - the whole staff are helpful and efficient so things move along really quickly and easily! We love the selection of produce and dairy-free items. I come really for the produce! And then everything else is icing! We love their seasonal items, especially their seasonal alcoholic beverages! When you are walking around, be sure to look up too! Enjoy the artwork on the walls, the gnome, Poppy, and seasonal decor hanging from the ceilings... My toddler points them out to me, otherwise I would miss them! Definitely a wonderful experience each time!

Trader Joe's is my go-to store for Persian cucumbers that i use to make my own pickles. They always have skinny cucumbers, which make great pickles for sandwiches. Unfortunately, they also have a huge selection of cookies, candies, and other temptations on shelves lining their frozen foods. I am a firm believer in the theory that the fastest way to eliminate temptation is to give in to it, So, I wind up with 4 or 5 bags or boxes of insanely delicious treat, which I usually share when I get home, said no one ever. I figure that the low carb pickles offset the high carb treats, so I basically come out even. At least, that is what my sugar infused body tries to tell my mind. Either way, I think I'm a winner when I shop at Trader Joe's.
