The friendliest grocery store on earth! The line is usually long, but it moves quickly. Further, the way the store is laid out is perfect to shop as you're waiting to check out. Genius :)

Emily Kruse

Trader Joe's is great but this one is super tiny and impossible to do comfortable shopping in. Most people shopping there have a mutual understanding that it sucks and are respectful at least!

Christina Brehm

You don't know what "rush hour" is until you've seen the Trader Joe's line at 5:30pm.

Plan ahead. If it's busy, get your breads , cereals, fruits and veggies , than just shop from the line . Saves you time.

Steph Parker

Shop on weekend mornings before 10am - the local college students are still sleeping/hungover, so there's no line .

Adwa

Every thing here runs out fassssst... its good for quick , good price grocery store but not for long walk shopping????

Frederick Bernard Stewart

Check the line as you arrive. At times you just arrive and get in line and shop

Go late or early because my god, is it a crowded gridlock in that basement .

It may be the smallest one in Boston, but the Red Sox are always beating the Yankees 9-2 @ the Back Bay Trader Joes! (see mural )

Frederick Bernard Stewart

If they continued good samples at the entrance this place would be perfect.

Raquel Ross

This is the strangest arrangement for a store. Don't come wanting to buy one thing--you're forced to walk the entire store single-file!!

Alwyn Velasquez

Cheaper than Whole Foods, good food and whacky employees what more could you ask of your grocery store . Read more
