Brian NewtonAugust 27, 2015Parking can be a pain, easier to come in from the back and park up top. Very long lines but moves quickly. Mind the basket only line.- RACER 5 6PK $9 Drake's Denogginizer $6 12oz cheap beer, small food selection but it helps you focus and actually shop for meals instead of having cereal and no milk once you get home. Busiest 6-9pm
Brian StraussAugust 19, 2016The people who work here are nice. TJ's in general is not my favorite store concept. Prices are excellent. Love the peanut butter stuffed pretzels. Parking though is a nightmare at this location.
My favorite TJ's in the bay. Always in stock in the riced cauliflower, rarely a mob scene.- Sugar SweetboiSeptember 23, 2013Crazy long line moves fast, great employees. If you need to split orders,be careful, sometimes even with sorting, and checking off items,they manage to mix them together.
Go to Trader Joes for excellent wine at a hard-to-beat price. Their lilies are lovely right now, too! (Don't worry - the line is long, but it goes fast!)
Yes, I know the lines seem long. Don't fret, they move quickly and the staff is great.
Joshua A.January 12, 2014Friendly staff. Helped me find a few things and gave me a tip on where to eat in the neighborhood.
They have some of the best bottled h2O - perfect for long road trips or head showers on summer days.
Like many other TJs, very friendly service and great selection of items.
Never attempt a Saturday or Sunday afternoon if you don't want to completely lose your mind trying to park
Lines are so long! Don't go on a Sunday. Produce and bread doesn't last long. Everything else canned or packaged has a much longer shelf life.
Trader Joe's is rad and this one has an entire parking garage
Regardless of what time of day it is you may run into a line. Tip contact corporate and ask for an express line or head to Emeryville.
awesome frozen items include mushroom turnovers, spinach & artichoke dip, and garlic nans
Justin BarnesSeptember 5, 2012Parking is a challenge for those lacking patience. Good store, good people overall.
This location's checkout lines are so empty on Thursday mid-morning between 10am til 1130am. It is a good time to shop without the wait.
- The line moves fast but parking is a nightmare any time of the day!
Teresa FinneyOctober 11, 2010Just straight up avoid this place on a Sunday evening. The line moves pretty quickly though.
Dont fear the line, it moves fast as hell. Good luck w/ the parking lot, tho
Never go on a monday night. Line goes all the way to the cheese section.
Peter CastilloMarch 19, 2013When using the bathroom, please lock the door so I do not walk in on you.
Don't come here between 1pm and 2pm. The checkers go to lunch and the lines are so slow they wind down the wine aisle.
