Trader Joe's

Go during the week, early in the day (while most people are at work) if you can. Weekends its a ZOO ! Affordable cheeses , nuts , prepared food, oils and snacks .

If you happen to be gluten intolerant , ask for the list of gluten-free items. It's exhaustive and makes you feel like you can eat everything in the world! TJ love.

This location is waaaay less crowded and lines waaaay less long than union square. Much better organization and low stress. Very pleased!

Try to avoid this location on weekends - can be a total mad house and by Sunday, they're out of stock of a lot of things. Your best bet is coming as early as possible on Monday for prime selection.

Great selection of organic food at decent prices! Need to applaud on the friendly and excellent service. Oh yeah, and don't be discourage of the long lines , it goes by real quick and smoothly! Enjoy!

Crazy crowded at most times, but the line is well-organized. Also a beautiful restored interior.

Get the dark chocolate caramel with black sea salt bar .. it may be the best chocolate bar I've ever tasted.

this Trader Joe's location can get crazy out of control with their lines . go early in the day on a weekday to get the best selection and least wait times. produce here is decent and prices are good.

Probably the best trader joes in all of NYC

Can get crowded but the line moves fast. Great products, great staff , great prices.

The most beautiful grocery store you will ever find. TJ's took one of the grand old bank buildings from the 20s (1923) and actually showcased the architecture , unlike most owners of such buildings.

Love the variety of food they have! The workers are so polite! It's crowded but the line moves fast!

Smaller than the Chelsea location but they still have a great selection of food and easily accessed from downtown Manhattan.

Some of the products that carry the Trader Joe's brand are in fact amazing. We love the dumplings , the organic brown rice , the sea salt peanut butter and the dried fruits . You just have to try them!

Love this place. Court Street is smaller, but I love the selection. Check out the Indian foods in the frozen section. I've created some great meals by combining with fresh ingredients .

When this TJ's first opened, it was a great shopping experience. After its 1st 2 years, it's like any other NYC store. Get 'em in & fast. Or faster. Now they're only into the bottom line , NOT service.

Can't beat TJ's prices especially on organic produce when in stock. Their products are comparable to any leading food brand. They just created their own Balsamic Glaze which makes me very happy!

Everything here is amazing like the snacks and frozen foods. Cheap and good. But be careful: you will most likely buy more delicious goodness than you came here for.

Love this trader joes. Not nearly as busy as the ones in Manhattan and with 50 checkouts the line always moves super fast!

there are usually some free samples in the southwest corner

Cut you some flax. Try adding flaxseed or its oil to your meals. Trader's has it golden roasted, milled , whole, in cereal, in oatmeal . The health benefits are plentiful and the taste is yummy.

Amazing TJs location. Nice and spacious and really easy to find what you need. Stocked up on all the good stuff :-)

One of the best TJs in the city , great space and team.

Love the selection of produce. Fresh foods and friendly staff

Go early in the morning for ease and no lines .

The borough’s only Trader Joe’s is a local claim to fame, offering big-scale convenience and pre-prepped gourmet takeaway that’s hard to find under one roof anywhere else.

Hanging out at Mister Sundays or going to a game or concert at Barclays Center? Hit up this TJ's beforehand to stock up on snacks , good cheese , and cheap wine . #nom

these are really delicious, nice and crunchy, not too sweet

I feel this TJ is the easiest one in NYC to get in and out except not in the evening. Shop strategically and you will always win.

Getting as bad as Park Slope Food Coop during peak hours. People shouldn't browse with a cart. Or on the phone. They're too spacey. My advice: Stow cart and grab a few things at a time.

This is the prettiest Trader Joe’s ever. It’s housed in an old bank building. Enjoy the view while you save.

Maple leaf cookies are the best! Also cookie butter omg

What makes this place horrible is the entitled customers. People rather push through you than use their words. But that’s why it’s all game if you swing and knock their head off.

Pick up some Old Amsterdam Cheese ! It's a premium aged rich Gouda with a robust flavor. Check out our website for great recipe and pairing ideas.http://oldamsterdam.com/

Great prices on nuts , cheese and flowers . It's a happy place. Go early on the weekends to get rock star parking .

Shopping, food prices, atmosphere. The lines can be long but they move fast.

Don't be discouraged by the long lines -- they move quickly and the staff is always pleasant. Where else can you buy yummy soy chorizo in a beautiful old bank with soaring ceilings and huge windows?

Small store that gets easily crowded but produce are always fresh!

Outside the door at Court and Atlantic is the high elevation pt of Cobble Hill , where cobble stones were disposed. They were used as a fort during both the Revolutionary War and War of 1812.

This location gets a little crowded but the lines move very quickly!

Check the coffee grinders for leftover beans from someone who didn't grind all their beans. Could lead to mixing of coffees or just more coffee , depends on how you look at it

Wild Mushroom and Black Truffle Flatbread - Ridiculous. A bit of a splurge but hands down my favorite TJ's treat. Also best multi-grain English Muffins ever.

Can get really busy at certain times of the day, but they move the checkout line fairly quickly.

Make sure you come at 7pm to check out Brooklyn TJs store wide depth-first traversal queuing system.

Mostly everything shopping at night is best less people, but the lines still move fast when it's crowded

Almost always busy. The staff is always friendly . Yes, I know it's how they're supposed to be, but most of the time it isn't artificial.

This location's layout is kinda of confusing but there's always sexy people shopping so it makes up for it!

Best potato chips and lemonade in the world

I walk 10 blocks here every week to buy ribeye steaks , yogurt , some fruits and nuts/snacks

If you come in too late on a Monday evening you might have trouble finding what you need!
