I just love Trader Joe's. I usually go to buy peanut butter or something random that I like specifically from them and then I end up buying a bunch of stuff, most recently they had some really good eggplants. And if I ever need flowers, this is my go to spot. What I would change about this place is the parking

We love coming to not just this location, but all Trader Joe's. You'll find a variety of healthy and quick food options that your entire family will love. The only downside to this location is the parking lot is super small and you can hardly ever find a spot.

A local national chain has a motto, "where shopping is a pleasure." Not taking anything away from that chain. I do most of my grocery shopping there. But Trader Joe's is actually fun! Don't know what that says about my life, but I make no apologies. Store is bright. There is a fresh active vibe somehow accomplished in a grocery experience. Everything I purchase here is always just as you would expect looking at the packaging. Fruit and veggies are fresh. Meats are very good, almost to butcher level. And what a selection if everything else. And, of course, you can't leave without a bag of Mandarin Orange Chicken!! Service is consistently helpful and friendly. Prices are ALWAYS exceptional.

Writing an updated review 10 years later just to say that not much has changed: I'm still having a love affair with Trader Joe's AND the parking here is still terrible...horrible even...but that doesn't keep me from shopping here. Carry-on.

I've been going to this Trader Joe's for years and generally have a great experience. The employees are SUPER nice and seem to enjoy their jobs. They are always very helpful and accommodating. The store is always super clean and organized. They always have interesting food items, but it's annoying when they randomly discontinue favorites. A major con of this location is the parking lot. 9 times out of 10, you will be circling for a spot. Only reason I'm not giving 4 stars is the superb customer service makes my visits 5 star experiences.

I love shopping here. I wish I lived closer to this store. Better yet I hope they build one in the Lake Nona area. They great looking fresh produce and quite a variety too. I enjoyed exploring the wine department. On more than one occasion I have taken the suggestions from one of the employees who really knows his wines. Checking out of the stores is always a breeze even though Trader Joe's is usually very busy.

Ahhhh Trader Joe's... the only place I actually get excited to go grocery shopping. I somehow always end up shopping here on a Sunday which is probably the worst day of the week to go because it's a complete madhouse, but I think I've just gotten used to the chaos at this point. Being that we only have 2 TJ's locations in Orlando, they both stay busy all the time. I've been seeing so many fun recipes inspired by TJ's ingredients on social media lately as well as so many fun snacks. I decided to go this past weekend and stock up on some breakfast/lunch options for the week and alllll the snackies. Some of my favorite items: Honey Greek yogurt All the fresh berries & fun fruits Speculoos cookie butter Wine country chicken salad and large croissants Soft & juicy dried mandarins (you just have to try them!) Everything & the Elote dip Villa Italia grapefruit soda Mac & cheese bites Ice cream cookie sandwiches Barebells protein bars Pork & ginger soup dumplings Dark chocolate peanut butter cups Everything but the Bagel seasoning Truffle marcona almonds Of course, I also can't help scoping out the fresh flower selection every time and grabbing a few things to play with. On top of all the novelty items you can only get at Trader Joe's, they also have decent prices (much more affordable than most other grocery stores) and I always get way more for my money. They also have the best staff and friendliest people working here who all appear to genuinely enjoy their job. Shoutout to Aisiel! These are the main reasons I will brave the crazy parking lot & crowd to shop here.

I love this trader Joes but honestly this parking lot is a WAR ZONE. That is the only reason I'm not going 5 stars. There is not enough parking for the amount of businesses that are there. The entrance is at a very busy intersection as well so it get backed up on the street and is just mayhem. I recommend going really early in the morning or late before close on week days to avoid the madness. Weekends are a NO. Highly suggest backing your car into spots as people are whipping in and out of there looking for parking or leaving. Parking aside, Trader Joes is awesome, the offerings a really unique, the shelves are always stocked beautifully and the staff here are incredible. They had fun music playing and the employees were bopping around and its just a nice environment. This location is pretty small considering the demand and it can make shopping a challenge. Pricing is on par if not cheaper than Publix, but not as large a store or as vast a variety as traditional grocery stores so keep that in mind when looking for staple items. This is more of a specialty store for unique finds with the essential staples as well. They even have a very cute print newsletter at the registers that has recipes and stories in them. Have fun and good luck leaving, because it's just as hard as fighting your way in LOL.

I'm really weak when it comes to Trader Joes. I'm telling myself over and over again as I walk towards the store: "I'm only going to get 3 things that I need, and then out! It should take no more than 10 minutes, 10 minutes tops!" 10 minutes later I'm exchanging the basket for a shopping cart; true story. Where else can I find organic rainbow radishes for under $3? Or raspberry petit fours that I know I don't need but look so cute and I never see at any other store so obviously I have to have it especially since it's a seasonal item. I at least had the self control to avoid the frozen section completely, but I think what makes Trader Joe's different from your average grocery is their unique items, and whoever is doing their marketing is a genius/geniuses. To have various items that you can't find anywhere else but also make it a limited time item or "seasonal". Now the consumer feels obligated right then and there to buy it, otherwise they wont find it anymore. I think we've all fallen madly in love with an item we've gotten there only to discover that you have to wait till next year to buy it again or they've discontinued it altogether. Aldi also does this with some of their items but my understanding is that they're sister stores. This is why people will still travel long distances, and deal with the crappy parking lot situation to shop here. I still find what I mentioned in my initial review to be true. Come during the week in the evenings or early when they first open and usually you'll find plentiful parking and the store itself wont be packed like a sardine can. (speaking of sardines, their smoked sardines are fire)
