Trader Joe's

I love Trader Joe's food products, and excellent customer service exhibited in their attentiveness to customer assistance by all of the employees and management team. For as long as I can remember Trader Joe's has always treated their customers really well. My only complaint, they have discontinued some of my fav products one time too many! Also, I finally made some sautéed canned green jackfruit, onions and Shiitake mushrooms in Bar-B-Q sauce on warm garlic naam bread, topped with a little Sweet Chilli Sauce and melted provolone cheese, yesterday! I had sampled some plain green jackfruit in BBQ sause, without the extra ingredients that I added, at Trader Joe's in North Carolina 4 years ago. I REALLY liked it, and had been meaning to make some for the longest. I called my friend in NC who used to work for Trader Joes for a brief moment, and loved it! She told me how to basically prepare the dish. I personally, added the sweet Chili sauce, mushrooms and cheese for an added taste joy! All of the ingredients are conveniently found at Trader Joe's. My meal was very yummy of course! I think even most children would like it in the regular TJ Bar-B-Q sauce. By the way, I accidentally picked up the Organic Sriracha and Roasted Garlic BBQ Sauce thinking it was the regular flavor and while it was a little spicy for a baby mouth person, it was not so much so that a Jr. Mouth could not enjoy it! Lastly, As far as Jackfruit goes, I recommend that you look it up on the internet and see the dietary benefits and if there are also any health constraints like allergy cautions. Part 2 Review: Just had heated Trader Joe's Garlic Naan topped with their sundried tomatoes, grilled artichoke halves, basil pesto sauce, and then medium spicey Kimchi with a little melted sharp cheddar cheese topping... With a cup of hot apple juice and cinnamon powder and one little bit of real butter. Yum!

This is a great store, good prices on specialty items, great seasonal variety and lots of options for quick prep meals for people with a wide variety of tastes and dietary restrictions.

The staff are both exceptionally friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. They are able to help you find items, let you know when/if they will restock, and can provide you with a list of items from the store for dietary restrictions, for example if you have gluten intolerance.

Beyond the things that set Trader Joe's apart from other grocery stores in general, having frequented about a half dozen of them in my life, I find the staff here especially friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Staff is extremely helpful and if I could eat as much as I would want to, I'd buy everything in there! My favorite is the dark chocolate peanut better cups! Best indulgence I have ever had!

Trader Joe's is my go-to spot for the most unique and delightful finds! From quirky snacks to fantastic wines, they never disappoint. The shopping experience is always a pleasure, and the staff is super friendly.

Trader Joe’s has amazing flowers at a reasonable price. The food options make sense to me, organic and fresh also at a reasonable price. I always love coming here because it’s not the same as the box stores and helps me feel less overwhelmed. I a fan for sure.

Took a friend to Trader Joe's, to have them stock up on some essentials and learn the basics of cooking. Great selection of quality, organic ingredients and as always, the staff rocks. Joshua and Bridget helped us out that day and entertained me with witty commentary.
Everything we made, turned out spectacular!

This Trader Joe’s was well stocked on a variety of goods that usually aren’t available in stores around my area.

The atmosphere was far more colorful than most, decorated for fall. Well organized in decorations and seasonal items, it was quite tasteful and festive.

The samples available at the time was of a pumpkin caramel kringle. I found it to be quite sweet and a little difficult to taste the pumpkin flavor. I didn’t buy it due to price, lack of significant interest, and that it wouldn’t have kept well on a long road trip with no access to reliable refrigeration. Had I lived closer to the store, things might have been different.

Our cashier, Michelle, was very friendly and praised the Sweet and Salty Umami Rice Crackers we purchased. She was an excellent person to be around and Trader Joe’s is lucky to have her.

Trader Joe's in West Des Moines is a convenient shopping location and very useful for the weekly items we need. Always we stocked.

Better than Hyvee and Fareway combined. Produce is seemingly fresh, easy to find real organic produce that is priced reasonably. Can fill up a cart for $70-$80 here compared to $400-$500 at the other places currently.

No issues finding REAL food here, which I love! Fareway and Walmart are usually packed full of fake food for the same price!

It was very busy and I went looking for a turkey. They were out but, I did get a Grump Tree

Wish we had one in the area I live. I love the selection and I have my favorites I stock up on. The spices are great. This store is friendly and easy to shop.

I’m very neutral towards grocery stores, but have very strong feelings of love for Trader Joe’s. Generally speaking, I prefer shopping at TJ’s because of their consistently reasonable prices, they ALWAYS have the best snacks, they have great customer service, and their store is always clean.

But tonight, one of their employees took it to a different level.

They were out of frozen peas so I asked an employee if they had any in the back. She told me no, but the truck with their next delivery of groceries had been delivered. This lady went back to the truck and unpacked to palettes to find these peas for me.

I’m not sure what her name is, but I’ve never experienced this at another grocery store. She rocks.

Good, typical TJs store in West Des Moines. Very friendly and helpful staff.
We consistently get our weekly groceries here. Highly recommended.

Fairley new to Trader Joe's, but my experiences there have been amazing. Great products & tasty new finds to delight the taste buds!

Love Trader Joe's! The clerks are always friendly and the store is well-stocked. Don't see what you want. Just ask, and they will check the next stock date. Thank you, store employees, for making your customers welcome.

Friendly, helpful workers. We come for specific items that we enjoy and don't find in other groceries.

I always love shopping at trader Joe's. The staff here were wonderfully helpful. And it's always fun finding new and interesting foods to try.

Staff was very helpful. A friend had recommended what I thought was mushroom ginger soup. Staff helped me find miso ginger soup. Can't wait to try it.

Aways love Trader Joe's! The Des Moines area store is great - tidy shelves, wide aisles and friendly staff.

Really, what sets this place apart is the employees. They are above and beyond helpful - in finding things, in asking about your day, in patiently listening to long winded stories, in answering questions, in commenting on and giving feedback on your purchases. They are one of the reasons I love shopping here!!
