Trader Joe's

Grabbed a simple healthy lunch. I got a chicken salad, a banana, organic veggie juice. So happy! Trader Joe's is a good place to get breakfast or lunch. Many choices and combinations.

Delighted to have visited the first Trader s Joe!

The employees who work here are amazing. If you can't reach something on a shelf, they will get it for you because they want to help.Best staff,great products,excellent prices.

Fabulous service as always! The staff are always the sweetest here and will go out of their way to make your experience fantastic. I wanted to shout out Rae Rae who helped me and my mother with our groceries. We were across the street. One of our bags broke and Rae offered to get us a replacement immediately. He then escorted us to our car and helped with our groceries. Seriously the sweetest people, it was Christmas Eve and though they were busy they managed to be kinder than ever

Always a cozy smaller market store with great quality stock. Mix of culture flows through Joe's place, whichever branch I visit.
I often find what I am looking for, and also a few items I didn't know I wanted to try out. I cannot say it's as expansive as any larger supermarket chain, but it's quality products and the consistently attentive service make Trader Joe's a goto place.
Admittedly, parking is almost always a crunch, but I just seem to want to go when everyone else does... meaning, I went once when I had some down time, and found easy parking.
Trader Joe's is one of my goto markets for nice specialty items and good quality.

If you shop at Trader Joe’s, this store is where you come to take the pilgrimage. Established in 1967 by Joe Coulombe, success of this Tiki culture inspired store is what started close to 600 other Trader Joe’s locations. Small from outside, this store still has the large variety of items.

Trader Joe’s. What can you say. Great products. Even better service. Can’t hold the parking against the business. The store WAS built in the ‘60’s. So be real folks. Nobody in LA has ample spacious parking. So just enjoy the experience once you get inside.

I live all Trader Joes. Good product, good prices and very nice CS. Just important mention: take care of the expiration date of meats sand veggies. I'd to return my meat purchase twice when I open my lamb package and the odor was terrible. Then I realized that it was expired several days ago. Can't understand.

Fast and nice staff. Didn't know it was the original store in Pasadena... I just happened to pass through. They had everything just like what I'm used to in New England, so very consistent!

This trader joes, is really beautiful. The people that work here where so nice, they even conplimated my shirt. They have such manners and the food here is even more, i cant describe it but it is amazing. Really recommend coming here

Original trader Joe's location literally had every item in stock, something I have not seen at my local store in years. Cool experience

I hadn't shopped at a Trader Joe's in a fairly long time, for the most part, over the past couple handfuls of years, although it was my college years' favorite for gourmet choices and natural foods and drinks. This time around, I became compelled to visit a local Trader Joe's, on account of that I'd spotted and picked up a smashed bottle of Trader Joe's Super Lemon spritzer fragrance spray, right on the tails of having set aside much of my monthly cash budget for a fine men's fragrance, Dior Sauvage Elixir, which I'd had a 10 mL sample of, previously, and, at that point, I was also modestly capably invested in both men's and women's fragrances, by Dior, as well as some of Hermes' "eaux des" (light, or citrus specialty varieties, etc) - in this case, it was Eau d'Orange Verte, so I had layers available of rich, dynamic, and men's and or women's fine fragrance, for either gender choice, with Sauvage Elixir being a gift, included with a department store-purchased fragrance. Once I learned that the product is only $1.99, for having had a delightful lemony character to it (I felt), as for my initial impression of the Lemon Myrtle and Spearmint room spray. I felt that the product could potentially suit my venture back in to Sauvage Elixir, perhaps as a fragrance base starting point, although, for having purchased a fresh, new Super Lemon spray, I find that a more traditional and elegantly fancy sort of spray, such as Dior Homme, or Dior Absolutely Blooming, out of their ladies' floral-themed Miss Dior collection, both of which smelled impressively great, in layers including a rich Hermes' Eaux Des (Fruites), etc., such as Eau De Citron Noir, which had been my first venture in yo Hermes' fragrances, and which I had, as a more upscale and refined "lemony" fragrance and effect - somewhat had established as one of the laundry list items, within a fragrance layering profile, for a rich and well-resourced scent to wear. Super Lemon falls short, (hah), I'd suppose, I must say, as that Lemon Myrtle and Spearmint oils are the sole fragrance components of Super Lemon spray, and, as chefs and foodies would relate, minty things, thrown in to close proximity with other ingredients or items, especially within a closed space of air, impart that minty effect on to the other items, quite easily, with a generally undesirable effect being the result. That being said, I sprayed the stuff, out in the open, and upon myself, along with Dior Sauvage, to try out the fragrance profile, and it seemed as though lemony minty effects, upon all things, within this open space, smelled like Super Lemon room spray, for a good long while. It's alright, overall, I guess.

I will never get tired of coming here. No matter what you're cooking tonight, or what you're in the mood for, Trader Joe's has it. The variety is incredible.

Wonderful place to revive history! Trader Joe’s has always such a great variety of seasonal products. They have a good variety of fruits and vegetables. It is a must in Pasadena!

What can I say, you have to go to trader Joe's there's no other place to go within trader Joe's. You could go to gelson's but they don't have what trader Joe's has and their 40% more expensive. I guess you can go to pavilion but they don't have their just like a rouse I mean the only reason to go to Ralph's is for kind of normal stuff. There's also better girl watching at trader Joe's. The best girl watching trader Joe's is actually in eagle Rock.

I always love exploring Trader Joe's and the Pasadena one is no exception! Today I went in to see what fall themed items they had and went home with a $30 haul of food. I've already dug into the pumpkin/squash soup and it's delicious! I can't wait to try the rest of the items. There were some cute fall leaf tortilla chips with a pumpkin salsa that I didn't get - I might have to go back for it since I kind of regret but buying it.

Staff here are super friendly and helpful. During COVID they limit the number of people in the store and you have to wait in line outside until someone comes out. I suggest going after sunset to beat the heat, but the line is shaded with tents if you go during the day. They have clearly marked the area with clean carts vs dirty carts so you know exactly where each is and I saw them actually wiping down the carts.

Parking is limited here, so you might need to find street parking along some of the side streets if you go at a busy time.

Who doesn't like Trader Joes?! The service is great. The workers are helpful.

The parking is small, but there's always spots available. The staff are very friendly. They go out of their way to be helpful.

Clean, organized store with helpful employees that are always able to give me info on when out-of-stock items are returning to their shelves. A couple fun signs indicate the history of this original TJ’s location.

Nice place for groceries! The staff is wonderful and supportive and they have fresh produce! The only problem is sometimes it’s hard to find parking as there are few spots on either side of the market. There’s also a Chevron station next to it.
