Love Trader Joes in general for their quality goods, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. This store is conveniently located near the 1 & 2 train stations at 72nd Street. However, because of the location, the store is ALWAYS packed and usually low in stock of most commonly coveted staple items.
Definitely a convenient location. Super close to the one train. Can be packed at times but definitely manageable and the people there are always helpful. Shelves are always packed with products so they usually always have what I need.
You can make someone’s day so much better by simply being kind . I had Ice as my cashier today, she was so kind and so engaged and had the most amazing energy, I was having THE WORST day and just her kind vibe and a quick chat about pickles made me walk out with a smile! I’ve been coming here for years and I’ve never had a bad experience but I’ve never had a good one like this before. Thank you Ice !
Love Trader Joes. I go to the one on UWS and 72. They have a good variety/selection of food. The line to the cash is really makes no sense though as it blocks most of the refrigerated food.
Every aisle is easy to maneuver... You dont have to walk around trying to find anything,. The aisles with their items are listed quite clearly.. Love Trader Joes
This is my favorite TJ ,I always enjoyed going there,Today I went and I love to speak with Alex,one of the cashiers, he was so friendly and talkative.The customer service in TJ is the best customer service so far that I have seen in any supermarket in Manhattan and the Bronx.Keep up with the good work guys. You rock!!!!
Went to this Trader Joe’s on Friday and everyone seemed on high alert making me feel very uncomfortable. The workers themselves look uncomfortable too. I had asked for help and literally felt like I hawk was watching me and the worker. I don’t know what’s wrong with the management there but they need to ease down.
Today I made this beautiful bouquet after shopping them from trader Joes.
Food selection and prices are great, but lines are ridiculous! I leave half the time. If I come in to pick up just a couple items, there should be an express lane. I don’t want to wait on a line that extends across the entire store!
This is a very good store. It offers a good selection of groceries. The only issue I have with this store is that it is always crowded and the lines are always so long. The long lines are truly a turn off.
The food here is amazing, and at prices that you can’t really find anywhere in New York, especially for the quality. Lines are very long, but they move very quickly given the vast number of cash registers.
Always love coming to this store!! Staff is so friendly, and helpful!! Prices and especially their produce are Excellente!😉 No other store can beat their quality of food at these prices!!!
At 9 O clock is not too crowed.... after 11 O clock there are a lot of people... Cashier running fast.
Nice as always. My kids like their Thai Shrimp Gyoza and Korean pancakes, and I like their Red Argentinian Shrimp from the frozen section. Their non-sorbate pitted prunes (only one ingredient) are great healthy snack. Their produces are per each so we can pick the best one instead of the lightest one. I like the salt and pepper they have. They are very nice and easy to turn, and we like to have fresh pepper. I heard that their prices are always on sale so no coupon needed. I can just focus on what I want instead of what’s on sale. Moreover, when I have a fixed menu every week, my grocery bills from Trader Joe’s are relatively the same.Love their nothing added dry fruits, dumplings, and frozen Korean beef! Sometimes I craved for Asian food, and they have a good selection for me so that I don’t need to go too far away or order to-go (too oily for me sometimes).Great place to shop for food!
Consistently on point with their stock late morning / mid-day. Easy drop in from the subway. Background shopping music always spot on. Staff rocks.
Good selections of grocery and products, usually a long wait to buy your things. Staffs are helpful and friendly. Atmosphere sometimes is super hectic and sometimes calm. Overall pretty good store for all your needs.Tip: if you bring a second person with you have them wait on line so when your done shopping around go find the person and you dont have to stand on long lines ever. Works for me.
My 5 star goes to not the store but an employee that works there by the name of JORDY. I went to shop on 7/9/22 had to pick upy favorite salad and a bag of cranberries, which happened to be on another floor. I was already online and by the way I walk with a cane, and I needed the cranberries which were down stairs. Here comes this young man JORDY whos asks me if I would like him to go get my bag of cranberries, I almost fell over because now adays people just dont want to work even with a job. He made my day, thanks trader Joes for having JORDY on your team. ❤️
There inventory was sorted out and the plus point is it is near a subway station 72 so easy for commute and not crowded at all.
Great place...good food and reasonable prices...also things exclusive to Trader Joes..I always like to try their new and seasonal items. Yes its often crowded with a long checkout line. It moves fast...and you can finish your shopping in line.Very nice and enthusiastic people work here. I am glad to have a Trader Joes in my neighborhood!
Great selection of produce, fruits, diary and meats. The line is always long, but goes quick and the value you save is worth it.The way to shop here is to shop as you go with the line. You pass diary, produce, meats, and even the samples.If a team member is walking by, you could ask nicely for an item, they are very helpful is helping customers.
In the city of highest rents and the most notorious living costs, Trader Joes is fighting--and flourishing--as the last savior for the Manhattaners no-nonsense spending. Expect some crowds when you go there, navigate wisely, dont miss out their brioche.
Love this store - great produce, reasonable prices, lines go fast & (most) staff super helpful & friendly to kids! They give stickers & little kids can ride in the carts w seats. Phone was also answered by a PERSON straight away when I called just now 😀
It’s a great place to shop but it’s a bit crowded and lines are quite long
One of the cheaper places to get groceries, very clean, kind staff, quick service at checkout
Good prices but always a ridiculously long checkout line. It does move pretty quickly though. Even still grabbing a couple of items will take at least 20 minutes at this location. Youve been warned
My daughter and I enjoy shopping at Trader Joe’s, terrific prices and delicious, creative selections for meals. Friendly, helpful staff as well. Thanks!
Decent place at the intersection of Broadway and Amsterdam.Too crowded for my liking. But I would return as they have excellent stuff.
I just love the food there... Just wish theyd stop playing with my gastronomic emotions and keep all my favorites in stock: ALL THE TIME.I nearly cried when I learned they discontinued my stacked eggplant. The vanilla bean paste- the true nectar of the baking and entertaining goddesses- is MIA.Sigh... And my cinnamon babka... Where did it go? Love you all at 13th and Arch, nonetheless ❤️
I love their Greek pies!Avoid to go on evenings, line is to long. The best time to go on my opinion is between 9 and 11 AM.
I love Traders! Prices are under control even during inflation and quality is very high ! Love it !
☠DO NOT APPLY 2 WORK AT TRADER JOES☠ the screeners are interviewers and thats all and they have zero power to offer position or make promises!! They are suppose to let you know in 1 week either way but they are so disorganized that they constantly pass the buck while you were told somebody is going to contact you. DONT call the store because all the Caucasian managers are RUDE, DISMISSIVE, DONT WANT TO HELP & SCOLD YOU ON THE PHONE about their procedures when it was not thoroughly explained to you, their HR is pure CHAOS!! DONT GO IN STORE EITHER because the same Rudeness and Disrespectful attitude is intensified in person without a care about YOU! The interviewee ANGELA promised to call me back the following day post interview...she did NOT! I followed up by phone calls 10 days later because nobody returned ny call but Angela was filled with excuses and that she was on Vacation the day she promised to call back (??) & somebody shouldve called me ( lies) & that she will contact me agaun with orientation interview tomorrow (again)...waited another 8 days with no phone call so I went in the store to find the status of my orientation and a RUDE CAUCASIAN short haired older manager refused to assist me, repeated the same thing over and over like a robot while frowning at me(!!??), was unprofessional and all she said repeatedly was Ill have ANGELA call you when Angela is not even the hiring manager!!! When I said Angela has zero power & does not follow up as promised so why was I promised a follow up and my time wasted... the womans voice became sharp!!! When I asked to speak to Hiring Manager I was met with a sharp NO as if hes GOD!! I said their office was right there and everyone keeps passing the buck & I keep putting off other offers when I was told I got this job...she sharply tore a piece of post-it and said write ur name & # Angela will contact you over and over again with a sharp tone. I wrote down my # and I also wrote that I withdrew my application due to utter unprofessionalisn!! Angela waisted 3 weeks of my precious time I cannot get back. If they treat their stellar applicants so poorly imagine how they treat their own Crew!!! Most Jr non-manager leads are ethnic and all hiring managers are White!!!! You Go Trader Joes for Equal Opportunity Employment!!! This is not the only place I am submitting my complaint to. I have other agencies and other boards I have in mind because I need to warn people. They only want young and dumb employees who do not know labor laws & their rights! TJ LIES!! I am completely boycotting TJ. After how poorly I was treated, I refuse to pour my hard earned money into a store where managers treat their employees and applicants like CATTLE...MMOOOOO!
Always hectic and full of customers. The lines are long but actually move quite assertively. The employees are there to help make your experience plesant.
The Trader Joes to beat. Staff is really friendly and will always help out / crowd control. Stuff gets restocked as frequently as possible. They arent super picky about kicking you out when shopping near close, which goes a long way.
As always! Great items. Prices are still great and staff friendly/helpful. Love the 72nd street store!
Too many freaking Yuppies!The Bathrooms are exceptionally clean and smell delicious...Organic Schmanic
My first time at trader joes I wanted to go for the longest to confirm for myself all the good things I heard of this store like good stuff, good prices and long line. Love the store I definitely will shop again.
Crowded as always. But always supportive and friendly staff. But I did notice, lots of products are vanishing from the shelves….. the chain supply???? Who knows
Great selection of organic and vegan foods. The prices a great especially on upper west side. Employees are very helpful and friendly. They almost always offer to load groceries in bags. Weekends are very crowded
Im really amazed by this location. Staff is everywhere to assist customers. Store as well organized and staff knows everything about their stores and products. Its about three levels.
My number one spot to get my cooking ingredients for healthy choices thanks for existing and snacks here are awesome
I frequent this location and have had the pleasure of dealing with two checkout persons that deserve recognition; Renata and Samantha. They are both soooo kind and helpful and pleasant and super friendly. Management should be proud of them. Both Renata and Samantha represent the Trader Joe’s brand exceptionally well and Trader Joe’s is fortunate to have them on their side. Sincerely.
I always loved going to this Trader Joes when I lived in the neighborhood! Such great variety and staff there. The lines are really long, but they move very fast. You can find anything you need at affordable prices. Its also right on the M5 route which is awesome. I used to take the M5 down and get dropped off right in front of the entrance and then to go home I usually crossed the street to take the M5 back home. Very accessible.
Prices are delicious but the fruits been steal lately when you take it home ,you gotta come back and change it ughh
This Trader Joes really needs an upgrade on organization. I think the layout of the store could be a bit better. It is an excellent store but is a far cry from its original counterpart on Arroyo Parkway and Mission Street in South Pasadena, my old neighborhood. The lines were very long but it made up for it with excellent customer service. Excellent products!!!
Non GMO You still have to read your labels carefully. Besides that they have a variety of non gmo foods which Some say theyre not but have modified ingredients. Prices arent so bad
I would love to give this location 5 stars because the staff and products are excellent.The staff keeps the high trafficked store in stock with what is on hand and the lines moving.However, the only downfall is the elevator has been out of order at least 6 times in the past two weeks. As I always have my infant with me at all times, I need access. And not only me but other moms, the elderly, and the disabled need access.Ive ended up going to the other location on 93rd and Columbus which is a great store but its a 3 mile round trip walk.
Cute little location on the upper west side. Kind of crowded but nice selection
Long lines but they moved quickly.Usual choice of products. Fair prices. Didnt like limited veg choices.
It’s a very busy store but and can be hard at times to navigate with a stroller but the people are always so friendly there. I love how great the employees are to my daughter and me including Natalia who remembers us every time we come and is such a joy to interact with.
By far the best employees I’ve encountered are at this Trader Joe’s. Better selection later on towards closing but better stocked then most during this supply chain situation.
From the customer service to the veggie sausages, I love this place. The employees know you on a first-name basis, giving off a Cheers vibe :)
Short lines if you go early. Clean and convenient. Standard NYC pricing.
Nice selection of food. Lines move quickly, employees are very friendly and helpful
The employee Ice is so nice and helpful. Please give her a raise and/or an accolade because she goes out of her way to help customers!
It has a different variety of products, great prices, and good quality. The only downside is the long lines. Thats because the store is popular, attracting a lot of people.
Great place to find everything you need. From plants, fresh herbs, cheese, meat, fruits, nuts, frozen meals and desert, breads to name a few. One stop shopping. They also ha a great selection of lettuce, kale and yogurt.
I love TJs and the 72nd store is my favorite. Always exciting to find new items. No other store can beat TJs!
Like many other people, I love Trader Joes. And that really is the only downside to their stores: there are simply too many shoppers and the lines to checkout are getting longer and longer. I wish theyd deliver as it would reduce the number of visitors. Oh, and I am also looking forward to their nw location opening on the East side.
Great products.. More hits than misses and the employees are amazing. Very helpful and polite
The workers are very helpful except occasionally there is one who will refuse to help and make up a story.
Great quality. Helpful and Knowledgeable Staff. Friendly and fast cashiers. Wide isles, Elevator and Escalators to lower levels. Accessibility A+. Always busy, but the checkout que moves quick. Early/Mid afternoon I find to be less crowded.
Wide selection of goods. the trader joe snacks are very yummy, huge selection of it. Friendly staffs.
Excellent customer service and very positive attitude n shout-out to the two mates Frank & Angela & Joann who did my transaction
Great store great prices! And more environmental conscient than the rest of the stores
Sometimes wait lines get ridiculously long and good products get discontinued. otherwise no complaints
Whats not to love about Trader Joes? I waited on line 15 minutes and was greeted with a happy TJ worker.
Always a pleasure. Discovered many frozen fish,vegetarian and non-meat vegan ethnic special meals which make my 2-person household celebrate. The cashier was so attentive, helpful and fun. Plus everything is described to guide the shoppers eyes. Finally, the prices are so much better than Whole Foods and the service is incomparable.
Great store, great selection.Friendly staff. Try to go off-pick hours to have all the time on your hands to discover wide variety of goods.
It’s great to go here, but most hours of the day it is super crowded.
Great products and prices are a gift and a curse. Its always a long wait for checkout. The staff is great and helpful and doing their best...we just need a second store in the UWS
Loving their frozen food section. It has some serious selection of dumplings. Now they started carrying even pelmeni )))
A pleasant place for shopping in a busy inner city. Nice service too
More of a fun shopping adventure than an errand. Always new and interesting items in addition to the staples. Excellent for people on special diets. Long check out lines move very quickly due to great organization.
Trader Joes in my opinion an excellent place to shop, their produce and fruits very nice, reasonable prices... Meats always looking fresh... canned goods are priced way cheaper than any store... Now mind you,youre not going to find things like sodas, and name brand items that are advertised which comes at higher price level... Trader Joes products, in my opinion, a family store that looks out for healthy eating with lower prices in mind
This place has never been a bigger resource than now when food prices are quickly rising. Never more valuable than during this high inflationary period. Almost 50% cheaper for many staple pantry items. If you cannot find something, ask. I find that the staff is always very friendly and helpful. Go mid-afternoon for lower lines. But even when longer, the lines move very quickly. Best store bought ice cream, IMHO.
This location is AMAZING! Its my favorite spot to do groceries in the City. The variety is exceptional and prices are super competitive. There are multiple floors and everything is well organized. Watch out: the line for the register can get pretty long depending on the day and time of the day
Very good store to shop. Very reasonably priced. Wide assortment of things to catch your attention
Well Im not sure its worth walking across town to shop here. Many products are not organic, and when they are its the same price than anywhere else. This TJ isnt so big. I know their frozen food is said to be very good; but I forgot my frozen food bag and they dont sell any.
Ok prices, good selection, but the lines at the register were insane
The people who work at TJs are always super helpful and groovy nice. I like that TJs hires the older folks too. Everything I wanted was well stocked on my late Sunday night visit.
Today TJ was crowded. I was wondering if they were giving out food for free. TJ always keeps the lines moving quickly and their employees are always helpful and so couteous.
Trader Joes was fully stocked and everyone was friendly at the 72nd street location. The prices were reasonable with a variety of options. The lines were really long but it moved pretty fast.
Loved the layout, the employees are very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. The prices are very reasonable more so than Whole Foods. Love it!
I don’t know what happened. The items are the same, the lines a little slower, maybe due to spacing, the prices still great. The last 2 times I have gone have been met with cashiers with a really poor attitude. No smiles, no conversation, nasty As heck, and no thank you. I mentioned it to the manager and he basically nodded. So, won’t be going there any more. I will stick with Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh delivery service. Don’t need attitude while I shop.
I love trader Joes. The prices are affordable and products are super fun.I go in the morning at 8am, dont go in the evenings, Sundays and Mondays.... busiest days. Slowest day is Thursdays.
Owned by Aldi family. Very low key operation. Privately owned so no public reports on sales. Everyone who works there is nice and seem genuinely happy people, not unlike the Nordstrom crowd. Great products and good prices. Loooove this store. One of the stores in the city packs its expired products in clean separate garbage bags so the homeless and fixed income people have a shopping and trading bononza. This is decency and dignity combined. Be sure to shop here when you can , you will love it!!
Always a good time in there, I love grocery shopping! And also really great value, cant go wrong at TJs!!!...went in today tho (2/21) and had to deal with a rude cashier,the attitude was so unnecessary! Smh Were all going thru things but that doesnt make it ok to be nasty to other ppl!....otherwise tho, always enjoy my trips there!!
This is not my favorite Trader Joes, but their staff is always helpful and nice. I find the setup to be inconvenient (2 floors) and they dont have the tiny carts, only large carts and baskets (sounds petty but this is important if youre a big TJs fan). Ive found that they run out of items more often than the Chelsea location (where I usually prefer to shop after work), but in all fairness, it could be the result of when I chose to shop.
They are always nice and helpful. I love shopping at this store they have great products.
Great variety of interesting products. Organic New Zealand Cheddar slices and Soy Chorizo are excellent. Really good artisanal breads.
Love to buy the products, fresh and excellent quality, plus excellent Customer service
The best store for great food and reasonable prices.
Today was the second time I come there & no 21 season salute or vegetable fried rice very disappointing
Great food n prices. Would like a bit more organics. When its heavy with shoppers, theyre not so nice! Most employees care, some dont. All in a, I shop there alot!
The store that makes grocery shopping fun! Great products at fair prices. The staff is really helpful and friendly. Theyve been keeping the store immaculate during the pandemic and sanitize every cart afterevery use. My only complaint is that they frequently discontinue my favorite items.
This place is one of my favorite Trader Joes in town! 🛒 Always stacked, organized, and clean. Usually has a long line but you cant compete with the cheap Trader Joes prices. 🏷️ Staff is super nice and professional! I wish it they had more spots on the UES!
Has two floors good variety of items. The lines are long but quick the prices definitely went up I still prefer 96st over this one sorry
Always low stock when I go during the week, apparently they restock on Tuesdays. Lines are long but move fast.
I love this store and I wish I knew about them earlier
I love Trader Joes but the store at 72nd and Broadway always takes some courage to enter. I know the location is successful- this is obvious from the lines which have never ceased since the doors opened. On this visit the escalators were down so I was redirected to the stairs in the right. I only need to stick up on my addiction: TJs Multi-grain Chips and Salsa Verde. One look at that line and I made an immediate u-turn back up and out the door! I did notice this adorable, Thanksgiving gingerbread turkey project. Oh well, maybe next year 😊
Largest in the world...prepare yourself! With 30+ cashiers, the double line really moves. People offer to help you locate stuff! What a winning combination.....at TJs normal prices!
Trader Joes are always busy!! The staffs are friendly and attended to the needs of the customers, They welcome us when arriving with a 😊 and say goodbye when were leaving with a kind word.I am satisfied when shopping at Trader Joes because I always get what I need. The cashiers are always friendly when checking us out...Clean environment.
Lines are always huge and prices are not the best. Stars for the public bathroom thou
72nd street Trader Joes is in a great location. Nice, big and clean.
Fresh produce and great place to shop for healthy food.
I got in line at noon and waited in line for fifteen minutes. The line snakes around the store, and customers do not social distance while waiting or while accessing the refrigerators which one is lined up against. I may be spoiled because the TJs at Albee Square in Brooklyn never has a wait this long, or even close.Its also a hard story to shop in because it is on two levels, requiring use of an escalator for ones card and oneself.
Great Trader Joes. Always restocking throughout the day. Of course, like any NYC TJs, its a madhouse but so is everywhere else yet TJ prices are very affordable. Only downside is long lines often but they move pretty quickly.
Feels more cramped compared to others I’ve been to in the city. But I appreciate that I’m never waiting in line too long.
The best market in town!! I love Trader Joe’s, best prices and great products.
This one is a little awkward, smaller store, smaller lines. This location continues to stock my favorites, even when other locations abandon them. Still the most convenient in regards to transportation. Have to say its the top TJs location for me. Been to Bklyn, Union Square and Chelsea...
Good food options and food prices are up all over. Very helpful and friendly staff. Cannot avoid the long lines but the lines move quickly.
This Trader Joes is always busy. Be prepared to wait in a line to get in and at check out. The lines move fast but there is always a wait. They have lots of great seasonal products and awesome frozen foods and fresh veggies and fruits.
Big fan of their entire product line. No wonder I love shopping here for all my grocery needs. Plus this specific store is HUGE! They have a much broader set of offerings than the other TJ’s in town.
I like Trader Joe’s. I like their selections their prices and most everything about the store. I don’t even mind the long lines. However I do not like non-service dogs in the place where I buy food. This time it was a PUPPY, pulling on the breads, sniffing everything, obviously not a service dog. I was told the store is not allowed to ask if it is a service dog or not. Rather disgusting. Yes, it was cute, but it’s an untrained dog in a place where you buy food to feed your family. Also yes,service dogs are necessary and they have papers and badges to show that they are trained service dogs. Trader Joe’s should be required to ask to see these badges and/or papers before allowing dogs into the store
I swear they hire only the nicest people ever. I cant even believe it because every time I go in I forget something and they will actually go get it for me! The staff is amazing the place is super clean and I love it. I could literally go everyday.
This trader Joes is really huge with up to date selection of quality organic products. The crew works hard to keep the shelves full. The lines do get long, come during non peak hours to enjoy the shopping experience.
It’s never going to be a quick trip, but the line always looks much worse than it is. Great selection, great prices. Look at this loot for less than $40!
The line can be scary but it usually moves very fast. Good price for most products. People in the store are nice and helpful.
Im a satisfied customer. There was a short line and the line went rather quickly. The store wasnt crowded and everyone wore masks and did their best to social distance. They were well-stocked and I found everything except salmon. All I could find was farm-raised, including the ones labelled Atlantic, which I think is rather tricky...a play on words?Trader Joes please keep your integrity.
Best Customer Service Eveeeeeer!!! You can feel the spirit of TEAM TJ in the air while shopping. Hands down the very best food shopping experience on the Upper West Side.
Terrible experience. The cashier was rude and unhelpful. Not to mention she forgot to give me a few items I was charged for. Another worker screamed and called a bunch of customers idiots because they used the escalator instead of the stairs even though there was no sign. I guess trader Joes will take anyone now a days.
Traders has the best food & employees. Everything Ive ever purchased, tastes great & my daughters and their friends agree. Staff is phenomenal & I mean that. They ask you if you need assistance, they dont wait for you to. Theyll do anything to make your shopping a great time. Always have laughs w them when I visit. Atmosphere is nice.
Theyre doing a pretty good job handling social distancing. The line outside is managed at the door and at the back of the line. They keep the aisles fairly empty. The store is well stocked. I suppose the one complaint I have is that they dont carry a broad line of goods. Its not a supermarket... Its a discount gourmet store. Thats only so useful to me.
Buyer beware!!!If you want real brown sugar dont buy Trader Joes Organic brown sugar as it is only white sugar with food coloring.
The layout of the store is not comfortable. Prices are good. Store is clean. The only downside always are the lines.
Good store, great prices, yummy food, efficient staff, just gets SUPER crowded.
Flowers do not last as long as they do in the Brooklyn store
Trader Joe’s has always been a vibe. In COVID times, they’ve tried doing their part with cutting down the amount of people they let in at a time. But let’s be real here. The amount of customers they get are too many to hold accountable for when inside the store. I think Trader Joe’s rush hour is a real thing haha. They do however care if your mask is or is not properly placed. They will kindly ask you to fix. Overall, great produce, a lot of options, and affordable prices for quality products. Can’t even pick which isle is the best.
Excellent clean no line at the time I went 2pm
Cheap and delicious. Great vegan options. Always out of nutritional yeast. Really wish they start deliveries in winters. Nobody gonna stand in minus freezing temp
Even if sometimes they don’t have fresh ginger ;-) !!! Great produce and I’m addicted to their peanut butter filled pretzels!!
Amazing prices, and the snacks are great. I only have to complain about the frozen lunches. Last week I bought some of the Bibimbap rice bowl and the Vegetable Pad Thai and when I opened them, they didnt look even close than the way they looked on the cover of the package. But they tasted ok, and the price was pretty great even for the way they looked and tasted. But the snacks are great, and I love the seasonal gingerbread houses.
Short wait in lin. Few shoppers. very short checkout line. Definitely new way of life. Some of the best flavor profiles in foods. great produce selection.Overall, nice clean shopping experience.
I always love going to Trader Joe’s. Even though with Covid there is a line outside, don’t let it discourage you. It usually moves fast and it also means there won’t be too much of a line at checkout since they are monitoring the capacity inside. Go and live your best grocery life!!
A very nice environment and place yo shop
Good store, great selection!
Good price on most items, they have some things I cant get anywhere else (like good Alfredo sauce, Pretzel bread, or the fantastic store brand triple ale!). I dont bother with the meat section anymore though, had some negative experience and I think whole foods is better for that. Also the lines are very long after 9pm, best to come at opening time (8am).
This location is usual quite nice and quiet. Its especially dead during weekdays, which is when Im able to go, perfect for browsing and shopping! Never have to wait in line, awesome selection of items, fully stocked shelves and nice staff. Whats not to love? Highly recommend - prices are also reasonable. Only awkward thing is the layout - split across 2 floors, too many escalators ;)
So many options I felt intimidated. But yes I found everything i needed and even some items I didnt even need to didnt ask for! Much respect for seemingly lower prices than other markets.
Easy to find things on the two sub floors offered.
Well stocked. Line gets super long but goes relatively fast since they have 20-30 registers. I usually go early in the morning or way late at night to avoid the crowds.
It’s good. Usually the store is well stocked but every once In awhile it looks like that biblical plague of locusts swarmed through. The line are ridiculously long but the way to combat that is timing. Go Wednesday mid morning and not Friday after 5.Their nuts are horrible though. Passable if you don’t know any better. But unacceptable if you’re used to great quality.I like the place though and go for reasonably priced organic food. AND THEIR BACON!? The best!
I love Trader Joes and have been going for years. You will find things there unlike any other supermarket.
The first thing I love, is the fact that this location is so near the train station. As for the store, Trader Joes, I love the service and I was able to get everything on my list. Additionally, I walked away with a feeling of satisfaction because I spent much less than Id anticipated. Will surely visit again!!
Falling in love with trader Joes. The freezer section can not be beat, the healthy seasonings are great too. I love coming in here, but I hate that I end up with more than what I came in for.
Quality as always superior and in every TJ! I have always been their fan no matter where... LA, SF, DC, or NY..., And this store has the very friendly and helpful staff just like other stores. I am new in the area, and the up and down floors with what at where is hard to locate. Fortunately those wonderful staff are so helpful, so I got my shopping done in short time. The only thing missing was my favorite pistachio gelato, but found out it was discontinued. I wish it will come back. Instead, I found a very good Chocolate ice cream this time, I am still happy!
Okay... just saw Gv.K & decided to visit this Trader Joes locale. i was blown away of the multiple levels it has. completely blown away.i have been to a few but this one.... speechless.besides the above mentioned, there was, surprisingly, a very long line for checkout that moved quickly.for my 1st time here & since i was acquainted with the chain, & knew what i was looking for, i was unable to ask anyone for assistance & i knew the friendly & helpful staff would obliged.will visit again when iam in the neighbourhood.
If you like Trader Joe’s, you’ll enjoy this location. Workers are friendly and helpful, as usual. Placement of products really makes sense. They also give a good amount of room in the aisles to move around which to me is an issue with many TJ. Line wait times were acceptable as well.
This is a small Trader Joes but is convenient for me. The store is super clean and the staff is very nice. Their prices are great for fruit and veggies and I find their produce last longer than other markets. Maybe because its fresher and doesnt sit in the shelves for long.
Staff there is so nice! Their frozen food and crackers are high-quality. I go there two times a week.
How fast they try and get you through the paying process is amazing. Line went through about 15 people in like 20 minutes max. Well staffed on rush hours. And inventory is what is expected of trader Joes. Large selection of different foods, drinks. The produce from my experience always seems fresher than my local super market.
This was my first time coming to Traders since i was like 6 and I’ve come to realize everything is so cheap, I wanted to buy the whole store. I will literally never shop anywhere else not even Key Foods because Trader Joe’s has them beat. The only thing I didn’t like was how long the lines were when I first went inside because it was hard to get to like the meat sections without bumping into the people that’s standing in line. .. but as I was done shopping the line was so short and I stood less then 5 mins in line. They have a person navigating and telling people what register to go to so it’s really quick and easy. Overall best shopping experience! And also even the customers that shopped there were telling me food to try and how they loved the food here. So I loved the vibes and everyone there.
Its a mad house in there...all the time. Never an associate nearby to help you when your looking for an item so then you have to walk to the people with poles telling you where the line starts. Its very clean, bright and the people are friendly. But the store runs like organized chaos. My last choice compared to whole foods for overall atmosphere. But first choice for food, price, and friendliness of employees.
If the ingredients and produce were higher in quality, Id give five stars. Strangely enough to my experience, Trader Joes has the best service Ive received in a grocery store in New York, and they achieve it simply by saying hello and being helpful.
This establishment has the best priced groceries. The produce is very fresh and there are many delicious Frozen options. The Associates that work here are very friendly and helpful. It is vary popular store so they constantly restocking items. It is suggested to get an empty cart/basket then shop downstairs (where the Frozen foods, pastries, pasta, and snacks are located) then come on the line and continue shopping while in the line. Although it is the busiest Trader Joes in the nation, dont let the long lines overwhelm you, they move quickly.
Good selection. But waiting for the elevator when you have a stroller takes for EVER!
During covid times, the best time to visit trader Joes is between 8:00 - 8:30 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The selection of delectables are abundant and the cashier lines are shorter.What I love about trader Joes is the ambience. It feels right out of the country... Everything hand written and crafted to please the asthetics. The frozen section is mind-blowing. I love their three layer hummus and buy it every week. Wish they had an online shopping portal... But with the same experience as the in-store one.
If you live in NY and need to save money grocery shopping come here! The products they offer are natural and organic and super affordable. The lines do get long, but the employees do a great job at keeping things orderly and getting you out as quickly as possible.
Love the food, love the prices. the line lengths can get crazy but there are 33 registers so you end up moving through pretty quickly. still tends to clog up the rest of the store as you are shopping though since the line weaves throughout the whole floor. overall, an awesome place for grocery shopping!
Being from California, I love Trader Joes - But the line is outrageous every time. There are so many people!
I love Trader Joes. There quality of the products are affordable. Their customer service is outstanding 👏🏾
I am a big fan of Trader Joes but dont love this basement store. Theres nothing on the street but an escalator, then 2 floors below that full of food and produce. Only one checkout line so you really have to spot everything or put it into your cart before you get on line. (I usually do half my shopping while in line...)
This is the place to go for healthy drinks and foods to supplement your healthy living...
What to say? It is Trader Joe’s!This location specifically does not have much room for the cashier lines - which in any given day is huge but I have found that even when it is all the way back it might only take 20-25min... so I guess is not that bad ... even whole foods on Columbus Circle is probably the same waiting time.I think People should just go to the line when ready... but that is just the way it is... so you will find a bunch of people in line that are actually still shopping...
The Trader Joes brand saves you a lot at the register. They have a good variety of food and treats. They even have some good GF options.
I love Trader Joes. They are the best. If they would have been near my place , I would have never shopped my groceries from anywhere else. Their strawberries, blueberries, blackberries are very fresh and cheaper than any other grocery store. They have a great collection of healthy snacks. The best part is when buying any snack from here you can recognize almost all the ingredients and list of ingredients is less than 10 in most of the items.
I LOVE this place! They have everything I need for my low carb requirements AND its organic. There are multiple floors so even when its busy, it doesnt feel too outrageously crowded. Their checkout system is efficient and quick. Ive never waited more than 5 minutes in line, and the staff have always been very pleasant, knowlegable and helpful. Best part, though, is that the prices are great! I bought an entire hand basket worth of groceries, and my tab only came out to $57. Once I realized taking the trip down to Trader Joes was not only healthier than my local grocer but also significantly healthier, I only shop there now.
If youre looking for efficiency and a comfortable shopping experience during the pandemic, this TJs is a great spot to go to. Sometimes theres a long line but it tends to move quickly. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Good store, they have good food and they also have their own products, I like this place although I’m not always find what I’m looking for, the staff are very helpful and friendly, they are good organized, very careful with the social distant and they follow all the healthy rules.
Great prices on food . Too bad there no Trader Joes in the Bronx.
Great location with two levels full of wholesome and ridiculously low priced items including the newly arrived and much coveted Croissant Bread. As with all the Trader Joes I have been to the staff here are naturally friendly and helpful. No phoniness.
Ive been shopping this Trader Joes since it opened in 2007. Love it!Unfortunately, lately there has been MANY times theyre OUT OF MANY PRODUCTS. Could be the times I shop so my advice is dont shop weekday evenings.Other than that, staff is very polite and always willing to help. Aisles are very clean and well organized when products are actually available.
Honestly cheaper than the local super market. Fresher fruit & veggies. Helpful, accommodating staff. Large/varied selections of EVERYTHING! Always a line waiting to get in! Worth the wait.
Awesome! Usually well stocked. Hit them in morning for no lines/rush. Social Distancing measures are well maintained here, feel easy to enjoy your shopping folks!
Clean orderly good fruit friendly long lines are fast
My first experience shopping at Traders Joe, I love the numerous organic varieties and items that Ive never seen anywhere else.Traders Joe is officially added to my must shop at places
This place has an awesome layout and lots of employees to keep business flowing. I hope my wife lands a job here.
Price is a great, food is great, but the lines I could do with that. I know the lines are a result of the good food and the low prices. just make sure youre mentally prepared before walking in there. You have to do a lot of waiting and get bumped a few times.
The lines move fast even though they are long and the cashier was very friendly. I love the sense of humor they have there. For Thanksgiving they have a turkey hanging from the ceiling holding a Trader Joes bag in which hes carrying what looks like a bottle of hot sauce 😂
The vibe that the employees give off is always positive. They genuinely are nice to you and like to make conversation. Its always positive and happy in there. The quality of there products is outstanding and there an ethically conscious company. Great selection of organic foods etc. You feel the care all around from store design and marketing to the food. Of course the prices are great. Yea Trader Joes any day vs. your average I dont give a crap supermarket.
I love this market. I walk from my work to 72nd street and stop by Trader Joe to pick up my health food on top of my health walk :) Very pleasing customer crowd and very friendly cashiers. Always carry around your bag to save some packaging material from getting wasted. They also put you on a ruffle if you bring your own bag.
Whoa. This place was really different than the Trader Joes from my neck of the woods. It was well stocked with lots of employees to help but I was shocked that the Monday evening rush had a checkout line 200 people deep (not exaggerating a tiny bit). The queue wrapped around the entire inside wall of the store. They assured me it would go quick, and with 32 checkstands it did. 15 minutes and I was out. Ive waited longer than that at Costco.I guess this is common Sundays and Mondays but not other evening rushes.
Trader Joes has very good customers service, prices are reasonable
Usually crazy crowded with long lines. Trader Joes has great values on food and is worth shopping at for that reason. Very friendly staff. Reasonably good selection. Popular items do run out. Good quality. It is probably the best supermarket for your money in Manhattan. I do wish theyd open more locations so its not such a mob scene at their stores
Absolutely the only problem I have with this location is that I just spent $70 on groceries for one person. This location is well-stocked and civil compared to others. Of course the staff is excellent and are nice to me even when I have obviously just stress-cried in front of the cheese.Lance in particular was super nice to me today and I hope he gets some kind of prize. Queens forever!
What can I say about this place?Its a tiki/trader-themed grocery experience! First of all I have to say that the company treats its employees really well and you can see that on the way the employees treat the customers. They understand its a chain reaction and its really working! One other thing that I appreciate is that you can return items. In the company’s own words: “Try it. We think you’ll like it. If you don’t, bring it back for a full refund.”The other great thing is the plethora of types of cheeses. They also give away the Fearless Flyer, an amazing circular, which you can grab for free at the front of the store if it doesn’t land in your mailbox. Lastly, they encourage you to bring your own bags! If you do, you write your name and phone number on the slip for a chance to win a free $25 to spend on groceries next week!
My favorite trader Joes in NYC! They always have what i want or looking for. Fresh and tasty food. I couldnt ask for a better super market. Plus its very affordable.
One of the best places to grocery shop. They have very good selection of produce, vegetable, meat , sea food, cheese and frozen food. I like this place because of its products and prices. The only problem that I have is that its always crowded and the do not have any fast check out lanes like other stores (five items or less). I wish they will have one or two fast check out in the future. Overall I love this grocery store.
I love Trader Joe’s. Best option in the neighborhood. You can’t beat their prices and good quality. You buy food for your whole month and spend 60 dollars. I know this location has many employees, but they need to figure something out with regard to the lines. They’re always so long! It’s good that you can shop while waiting in line, and they have 30+ cashiers, so it moves fast, but still. I’ve seen people waiting in line outside on weekends - it gets this busy!

2022-03-23Welcome everyone to the busiest to Trader Joe’s in the country! Yes, in the country! I do love Trader Joe’s they have a variety of original products especially the frozen section on the lower level. Their chocolate is also very good.

2022-06-08I love, love, love Trader Joe’s: love the prices, the variety & order. But, I think most of all I love the people who work there. It doesn’t matter if I go to the one 22nd street or the one on 72nd street; it’s always the same great service AND great music. When I walked in “Shout” by Tears for Fears was playing (took me back to my exchange program in Paris). Shout out to Eileen (operating the elevator at 72nd street) and Michael who was our cashier today.I hope the company treats you all well.Pax,Carmen

2022-04-12My first visit back here since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Store is just as clean, well-organized, and cheerily staffed as it has been for years... Took a little hunting to find a few favorite items which werent exactly where I left them in 2020. But the 2022 staffers on the floor are always knowledgeable and helpful... The check-out line remains an amazement. Fast and efficient! No matter how long the line appears, it moves fast! I was delighted to stock up on all my Trader Joe favorites again... Which for me include a wide range of nuts and dark chocolates. The dark peanut butter cups lurking in the checkout line area were my reward for a Sunday morning shopping hour well spent. Back in the Trader Joes shopping habit again!

2022-03-19I went in to pick up a few things, was very pleased with the prices and everything is nice and fresh. I havent shopped there in quite sometime but I will be going back more often. My cashier was so nice and polite. It was a pleasure to shop there. Will probably go back one day next week.🥰

2022-07-04The employees are VERY helpful, especially when it comes to the elderly & disabled.Was back in there the other day, and one of those helpful employees (who helped us several times before), asked where my wife was.This, brought a smile to me, and fortified my belief that not only are the employees there good, but human-beings as well.Thanks!

2022-02-21Despite being known as the busiest Trader Joe’s in the country, I very much enjoy frequenting this location for its selection and well organized floorplan. The challenging thing about this place is that by the evening, many items are gone. So if there are items in high demand, you have to be lucky that you get there early enough or exactly after they have restocked.

2022-04-09I go for the fresh prepackage salad greens, their selection of fruit and love the vegetable dumplings that can be steamed or pan fried. Most of the time the lines (2) to checkout are long but it goes pretty quick. Easy access by 1, 2, and 3 trains on 72nd street. Its right across the street from train station.
