Trader Joe's

Always love visiting a Trader Joe’s. It was crowded but its Saturday. Employees were so friendly and welcoming. Totally made our shopping experience fun. Loved the cheese and cracker samples.

Trader Joe’s in Simi Valley is awesome! The staff is super friendly and always happy to help. Great selection and a fun shopping experience every time!

I've always enjoyed shopping at Trader Joe's, they have such great items, some you can only get, there the staff are always helpful and very friendly

Your typical TJs experience with fun & yummy options, and great customer service. The store is clean and well maintained.

This may be the only Trader Joe's with sufficient parking. The aisles are small and crowded but the vibes are high with folks looking for the perfect TJ's snackies. The staff is beyond friendly (or just really great actors) and make me feel like they enjoy their job but also care about me. Sometimes I just go here for a little emotional pick me up.

I like the fresh veggies and organic chicken. Trader Joe's has salmon, Italian sausage, beef, bacon, nuts, frozen vegetables and berries, etc Pantry staples, milk, eggs, breads, gluten free choices. Nice treats and snacks to choose from. Friendly staff.

This review is for Patrick, Simi Valley, who realizes that there are customers who really don’t want to know what you did on your weekend or engage in small talk. - cashiers and customers alike. This is when overcharges and undercharges occur as well. I’d shop more frequently at TJ’s if they’d just pay attention to getting the customer through the line. Oh two employees on a register talking to one another while checking out a customer is rude. Thanks Patrick. I’ll look for you before I complete my next shopping trip!

I love this place! The food is good, there's a reasonable selection of products, and the staff is very friendly. It stands out in stark contrast to the chain grocery stores we've been to.

As there's so many locations throughout the city, I can say in my opinion this location is great. Plenty of parking which for TJ, that's a struggle. Their parking situation tends to always be a bitch...lol... Not only with a huge lot, it's next to loads of other stores and restaurants. A one stop for everything you need. As for TJ, it's always amazing and customer service is alway top notch. Everyone is always so friendly and always ready to help in anyways. If you have a question about something, there's an answer right away. If there's something you're looking for, someone will walk you there to it or have a look in the back to see if it's there. Customer service is always amazing for them. It's standard size to others but everything I need is always there. A good selection on the wine department. Veggies and fruits are always fresh. Amazing choices with the plants and flowers. Plus the price for them, it can't be beat. Everything they carry is great.

Quick stop and to visit a friend. Picked up my usual goodies. There was a crew member giving out samples of mango calamansi sorbet with Lemon thin crackers. It was so refreshing I bought 2 quarts. Staff were very friendly. Store was very clean and bright. Check out was easy too.

This location is hindered by being in the particular plaza where it lives, in my opinion. You have to get past the crowds heading to Target to get to Trader Joe's. There might be a clear path to circle past the the Target traffic by heading toward Starbucks, then using the far east part of the parking lot and coming around to TJ's. Dear Hubby and I did that end-around the other day. We were there on a Saturday afternoon. There was a lot of traffic in the whole shopping plaza. I was on the hunt for a bottle of wine to gift. DH dropped me off and went over to 85 Degrees Café to purchase dessert. I found a California Pinot Noir with an intriguing name and a fair price. Then I snagged a few healthy snack foods for me to take home after the dinner party we were headed to that day. Every single check stand was open, so it took almost no time to pay. The cashier I got was friendly, despite how busy it was in the store. It was cheering to see colorful fresh flowers both inside and outside the front of the store. Spring is coming! This is a great place to pick up plants or flowers, especially if you're looking for a gift to take when invited to a friend's home for a party or meal.

Love love love TJs......the products, prices..... and this particular store has plenty of parking

My go to place for shopping.... It's a great shopping experience as the people are always super friendly, store is clean and not a super large store but have everything you need! Always fun to see the changing items on shelves for the holidays! My favorite times is fall with pumpkin season and Xmas with all the desserts: candy, cookies and more! With that said there are items that I'm cautious about at this store: check fruits and vegetables well for freshness. Most should be eaten readily! I have had issues with dairy products: milk turns bad before the expiration date. I've return sour cream due to spores growing! With that said, I tend to go for safe items that I enjoy: cheese selection is excellent! Wine selection is also great! Lastly plenty of parking! And always fast check out even with a line!

Customer service is amazing. Love going in there where all the staff greets you and is kind from the time you walk in till the time you walk out the door. Good job!!

Very poor and distasteful behavior from staff today 5/9/25. A man was playing an instrument, by the parking, not bothering anyone and the staff was saying things to the man like get a job, we are hiring. They get the manager to kick him out which he had no right to because he was on public parking. And while he's kicking him out the staff is clapping and still making immature comments. He wasn't asking for money, if people donated that was on them. This used to be my favorite TJ because the staff was "always" nice. I can't believe the poor treatment and the manager who allowed the staff to behave in such way. Not a very good representation of leadership.

I shop here all the time and EVERY SINGLE TIME the people make the nicest and sweetest conversationsa plus, I love their peanut butter cups as well!!

Came this morning to get something to cook for Xmas. I also wanted to try the gingerbread ice cream. OMG it's so good. Got some steaks to bbq, and a few other things, plus raspberry champagne. Prices have really gone up here too! It's about the same as the grocery store now. I guess 72.00 for dinner is still cheaper than going out to eat. Service is still great here!

Super clean grocery store and really fresh ingredients. Loved how friendly and helpful the workers were this is why I love trader joe's!

This location is a hit & miss. I was here before Thanksgiving doing last minute holiday shopping and the produce was horrible. Low quality. They don't have a good stock compared to other locations. One thing that doesn't change is how friendly staff is at this location and all the other locations I've visited.

Very friendly staff with well priced groceries and staples. It is not as busy as some of the other Trader Joe's I've been to which is nice.

The fantastic fresh salads and diversified foods. Always a friendly employee to help or say hello. The store is clean a shelves are stocked. We do most shopping here.

Love this Trader Joe's. The flowers are always fresh and the staff is very friendly. Once I forgot my card and they put the bill on credit and I paid them back. Food is always fresh and edible. Love it!!!

A nice, clean and we'll organized Trader Joe's. Love going here for one of a kind did only they carry, the items on the fearless flyer as well as their ever growing selection of spirits. The employees are always curteous, friendly and around to help answer any questions like most Trader Joe's. Sadly, the worst part about this store isn't the food, the selection, the employees but rather the handful of haughty and arrogant customers who shop here, ruining the experience for the rest of us.

There's nothing negative to say about TJ's! Nice staff, great food and good prices! Store is clean and neat!

I review TJ by the following criteria Store size , products and staff . This store scores 5 stars all the way around. Visited both times during thanksgiving pumpkin everything season and recently the peppermint everything seasons . The store is well stocked with seasonal goodies , some new some old (thank you) but didn't notice all the TJ side dishes this year normally offered around thanksgiving . Maybe i missed them, maybe discontinued ? Their floral section is best in town, their flowers last far longer than the standard grocery store . the staff is attentive if you find expired items in the cheese chest (sometimes) the clerks will take the items out of you bring to their attention. Always enough floor staff to help customers and rarely out of the normal pantry items . I miss the smaller 12 oz of the TGiottos EVOO. Now they come in giant bottles that don't fit in my cupboards so i had to buy oil cruets & bottles /dispensers and refill them. Overall the staff is plenty will w gage to let you know if s product is discontinued so you don't dream about it. With covid no samples which is also a miss because it helped promote new items . Still best prices for dairy in town . Love this Trader joes!

There is only one negative comment and complaint I have about Trader Joe's, especially this location...the employees are constantly unloading the freight and in the way, and when they are, they refuse to move out of the customer's way. They pay no attention to a customer attempting to reach around, and even when I would say, "Excuse me", the employees will still not move out of the way. Tonight, I passed 3-4 employees in the sauce isle alone unloading merchandise that would absolutely not move. 2 women in the dog/toiletries isle that also would not move to allow me to get by. This is a repeated issue, and very disrespectful and annoying. Trader Joe's takes the chance of losing customers with this employee behavior. Unfortunate

I love Trader Joe's. But I'm starting to question the cleanliness of the place. I've noticed the drinking fountains near the back by the bathrooms have not been cleaned in months!!! Gross! I know because I have gone in there periodically and have seen the filth. YUK! so you have to wonder what else are they missing.

Mmm, love me some TJ's. About a 10 minute wait to enter, yay social distancing and all that. Worth it to get my raisin rosemary crackers, chocolate almond biscotti, aloo chaat, tamales, and dark chocolate hazelnut ritter bar. I meant to check the nut mixes and grab some pb pretzels but I didn't have a list. C'est la vie.

Bad experience. Went to this Trader Joe to find some things I needed that I couldn't get at other stores (COVID 19). I'm a family of 6 and had 2 other family members with me. We got a few of the same items that were not meat items, water, sanitation, milk, bread, or anything healthy (they had signs for basic essential items which we respected and did not hoard). An employee gave us attitude and took them from us. Fine with us, we just paid for them separately and got what we needed. You cause us an inconvenience, we will cause you can inconvenience as well. I hope this wench runs out of toilet paper!

I come here on a weekly basis to get my groceries. I love the plant based options they have available but most of all I love the customer service that is given here at this store. Today, while awaiting the line in the boiling sun, the employees were handing out cold water bottles to all the customers. Now that is great customer service!! Although there is usually a line to get in due to pandemic times, it moves along pretty quickly. Also, whenever I come bring my cart back, an employee is always already walking towards me to grab it. Can't rave enough about the customer service here. Love this store!!

Great store to shop at.With such a large variety of healthy choices.This location is a bit smaller than the one in the Valley,but still caries all the amenities of a healthier choice of eating. Such great products and so many new choices of healthy and a large variety of organic products., Parking sometimes can be an issue.The lot is shared by several different merchants,such as target. The employees where very friendly and most of all very helpful.Very clean and most of all organized.

I absolutely love this location. There is no Trader Joe's in the city I live in, so I travel 15-20 minutes to this location in Simi Valley. Every time I go the employees are the best, they will always recommend new items or will explain how they like a certain item. I have not once met a rude employee or someone that looks like they hate their job. Everyone here makes my trip worth it and I never regret a visit. I sometimes come here for my lunch, (my work isn't far from this location) they have vegan options for salads and wraps. The ones that I have tried so far are very yummy and I can't wait to try the others! My last visit , an employee recommended to add Super Seed and Ancient Grain Blend in my morning smoothies ! I absolutely love it ! I will continue going to this location (:

What an excellent experience I had at Trader Joe's today! They were so organized, a very nice TJ employee came out and told us the shopping guidelines for the day. She let us know what items were in stock and any limits that were being placed on items. They allowed 20 people in at a time. They passed out sanitizer wipes. The employees were wiping down shopping carts, continually stocking grocery items and making sure to answer any questions. Outside of the store a very nice man from the community had come by early in the morning and actually measured the physical distance we should all keep - and laid down tape! Everyone shopping was so nice and kind to each other. No one was grabbing or hoarding. They were playing nice upbeat music - everyone working together made this a very enjoyable shopping experience.

Everyone is here is amazing ! Incredibly helpful and always kind/polite. Best shopping experience anyone could ask for. Plus the food is outstanding !

Erika... Thank you! I was shopping with my 2 year old. He's wonderful, he's sweet, he's funny and independent. He was out of the shopping cart, on the loose, and about the have a complete melt down in the aisle. She must have seen what was about to go down from a distance. Like a guardian angel of toddler moms across the world... she appeared. "Come with me", she said. As she lead my son toward the door, where they keep the miniature shopping carts. She helped him get his cart out and with in seconds we were back to shopping and the meltdown was averted. Erika saved my life. I was having a really bad day and just didn't have it in me to deal gracefully with a toddler meltdown. She saved me. She saved my son. She saved the customers and the staff from a huge scene. You've got a new customer. No grocery store will ever be a great as the one with the little carts. Thank you Erika!!

Traders is a special place. The individualized packed produce makes mealtime easy. The sweet potato ribbons are great in salad. The pizza ingredients allows you to create a simi homemade Italian treat! I make a goats cheese , fig and arugula flatbread that is a crowd pleaser. And, oh my, of course there is the Kringles! The pecan is my favorite! The Simi store has a friendly staff and easy to maneuver store lay out. This place is my home away from home.

Quite possibly one of the BEST Trader Joe's I've ever been to!! This location and the Cobble Hill (Brooklyn) location are my two favorites ever. This particular location is just gleaming with cleanliness, variety and efficiency. Everything is super well stocked and fresh. There are so many items here that I haven't seen at other locations. The parking lot is a little small, so be careful, as with any trader joe's, lots of pedestrian traffic. There is also a Target in the same lot amongst other eateries and local businesses. I feel fairly safe at this location too. Overall a fantastic Trader Joe's, I wish every Trader Joe's was like this!

This is a fucking joke. I'm so tired of the bullshit with these mask mandates. I've gone into this store multiple times wearing a face shield and now today they are saying masks only. The dumbass manager then tells me that it's always been masks only. That is an absolute lie. I'm really getting sick of the arrogance of this store chain. Sorry if this offends anyone but I'm just so fed up with this...

Every time I go to this Trader Joe's the staff is the nicest bunch of people! Not only that they go out of their way to fully answer your question, even if for example you don't ask when something will be back in stock, they'll find out for you and fill you in. So glad this is my TJ's. Thanks y'all for being so awesome!!!

I love coming to Trader Joe's for certain items. I get my fresh basil from here because it the most affordable compared to other supermarkets. Great customer service, great food variety on the healthy side, and don't forget your flowers because they are fresh, beautiful and affordable.

All trader joes have great customer service, but this one stands out to me. Each time I come into this location everyone always asks me if I need help and how I'm doing. They also go out of their way to find particular items for me. Thanks for the great experience in your store every time.

Definitely not trying to wait in a line for 40 min before going to the store to find out they are out of what I want. Done with you until you stop your drama.

Terrible Trader Joe's. Worst in Ventura county. Nothing ever in stock. Don't be fooled by the employee that looks like Timothee Chalamet- the associates are so rude here, I promise no one will Call You By Your Name. DO NOT COME.

I usually go here to get my salad but today I was looking for a kosher product for a friend I asked oNe the sat add for his name is Noah and he went above and beyond to help he even printed a list of kosher items. Thanks Noah

High rating for food I can actually eat, wide isles and friendly employees. However, I went today for the 8-9am senior shopping. At 8:05, the regular people line had five souls, while the senior line was around three sides of the building. How is that an advantage for seniors. Did you make the regular people wait an hour? I will shop here during regular hours when Coronavirus is contained. Meanwhile, my regular aged son and daughter in law will shop for me. Yea, but not really.

I probably should have posted this by now. Anyway, again - regarding the Simi Valley location: The store was very nicely remodeled and very significantly expanded. It's a pleasure to shop there these days. I am sorry I took so long to post an update.

The staff here is really friendly, but the last two times I bought raspberries there was a lot of mold on them. I just bought packaged organic green bell peppers today and they were old as well. Kinda tired of going back for refunds and driving to Vons for produce.

Can't beat the prices and consistent quality. Great place to grab items to meal prep. I always come to this one because it's close to my house. But this review goes for all Trader Joe's lol. Thank you!!

I come here weekly and all the employees are always so friendly and nice. The store is always clean and organized. So glad to have this Trader Joe's as my neighborhood market.

Been coming here for 22 years! Super friendly staff, amazing food at great prices! It's my go to grocery store!

This is our family's go to spot for our food. Staff is THEE BEST there is. I have never ever had any bad experiences here. Bathrooms are clean, store is clean and again staff is AMAZING!

This is my go-to grocery store. Interesting selection of foods, very reasonable prices and lots of options for vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary restrictions. All of the people who work here are super nice too.

Produce and dairy. Coffee. Flowers. Breads. I always thought that Trader Joe's was a store for pretentious vegans, hipsters, and rich people. I was wrong. I've found some of the best prices on the items I listed above, and all of it seems to be good quality. I need to shop here more often.

I appreciate everything Trader Joe's has done during the pandemic to make me feel safe, and my shopping experience, happy. I am a caregiver for my 88 year old mother, and have kept her safe and sheltered at home for the past 15 months - Today, since we are both fully vaccinated ( and with the government announcing the easing of restrictions), I asked Mom if she wanted to come to Trader Joe's with me today - (the ONLY store I feel comfortable taking her to) We went to the Portland OR/Hollywood (store #144) located and we're greeted by the friendly and courteous HEATHER, who after learning that this was Mom's first store visit since the pandemic started, gave mom a beautiful bouquet of tulips, with a cheeful "Welcome back!" You have no idea how PERFECT this was! For mom...welcoming her back to the outside world... For me (I'm still nervous about her exposure, and overprotective of her - totally put me at ease! ) SO SWEET!!!! (As IF I needed ANOTHER reason to LOVE Trader Joes!) Thank you, HEATHER, and thank you, Trader Joe's! Christopher K (and Carol)

They employees are so rude here and yell at you if you are outside not wearing a mask on the side walk, absolutely ridiculous, as if they own the side walk and they air. They have turned into Trader Joe's nazi's since the "plandemic" hit and I will not be shopping at this Trader Joe's any longer. They don't even let you bring in your own reusable grocery bags, which is so wasteful and they don't care about the Earth at all. They have all these ridiculous rules that don't make any sense and are going backwards instead of going green. You've lost a customer!

Trader Joe's...as a company, is AMAZING. The crew at the Simi Valley store are incredible. Never once have I been met by an employee that wasn't smiling, happy to help, able to help, knowledgeable of their products, etc. I enjoy shopping at my Simi Valley TJ's so, so much and look forward to my weekly visits.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Everything is always well stocked and fresh. They always have super tasty free samples! Even during rush hour they are efficient and have a ton of registers open. The best market shopping experience I've had!
