Great prices vs. quality, especially for cheese , beer and wine . Competitive with both Star Market in Fenway and the Whole Foods in Brighton in most areas, between both in quality and selection.

Sydney Trost

Almost always crowded no matter when you go, but they have tons of check out lanes, some on each side of the store. Big wine and beer selection also!

Monia Bodenmueller

Trader's is awesome!! Lots of cheap but great wine . Fresh salads and great diversity of frozen vegetables .

Dana Villmore

My faves here are the fiberfull granola bars , butternut squash risotto , and pumpkin pecan oatmeal . :) great prices, much better than stop and shop, and tasty/healthy food! Also the cheapest/best wine !

Matt Marchany

The frozen section here is the best part of this place. So many cheap options to buy for single serve dinners throughout the week. Plus, you can't beat their selection of beer and wine for under $5.

Orange chicken is amazing , the red Australian licorice is literally to die for, ya know what.. Everything here is delicious.. The only tip I have is SHOP HERE!

Erika Shira

During the evening it's crammed full of young professionals. During the day it's less busy but there are plenty of asshats in fur coats who don't care that other people might want to use the aisles.

Jamil Siam

Call soft president I think so get a case of Chardonnay or the Pinot Grigio is delicious amazing wine for only tonight on a bottle love it Trader Joe's whoohoo!!!

Ulyee Foobar

The vegan cucumber won tons pair really well with carrot Ginger soup . Try: seaweed snacks . The vac fried pineapple and bananas pair well with soy ice cream instead of mini peanut cups that also work.

Dylan Manley

Nicest employees of any grocery store I've been to, and an awesome selection. Definitely one of the best grocery stores in the area.

Mishy K

The peach muscat wine is delicious and refreshing. And for $6, it's a steal. Great for a girls night in!

Ulyee Foobar

Good variety of foods, plus they have wine/beer. There’s a parking lot too!

Tommy L.

best place to stock up on wine and beer before a big dinner or party. the prices for their 'grown up beers ' are perfect!

amlom .

if you want to find affordable GFCF stuff, then trader joe's might help you out: find your pasta and spaghetti here, and raw honey for your tea as well . great cereals too, and the best root beer ever!

James Gardner

New queuing system with a single line feeding all the registers is a huge improvement! No more getting stuck in the slow lane.

Jeremy Krantz

This could very well be one of the busiest if not the busiest TJs location in the state . Plan accordingly and avoid it on weekends.

Jamil Siam

Charles Shaw for president I think so !!try the Pinot Grigio or the Chardonnay it's amazing wine for only 2.99 a bottle !Trader Joe's woo hoo!

Rox

Very kind people and they look so cute with their hawaiian shirts ..well , I have to admit that is a little weird if it's winter..

Maynard Clark

I don't drink alcohol or buy any animal products, and I don't buy prepared and processed foods (other than soymilk), but I still find plenty at great prices at Trader Joe's.

john mataraza

Don't be a fool... avoid the parking lot and just park on Longwood Ave or you will end up jammed in the lot with no escape. Trapped for all eternity.

Anna Kristina S.

almost always busy, but before noon on Sundays can be less hectic!

Tanika Smith

Make a list before you get there. This one is crowded as hell!Everybody is literally everywhere in that store.

Lindsey Cohen

Nice selection! Big Sunday crowds, long checkout, but worth the wait!

John Tinger

Best prices. Everything is fresh and tasty

Marquita Mcqueen

The frozen chicken marsala was surprisingly delicious. I make sure to get that, a ton of fruit bars and a jar of pickles every time I go.

Rachel Doe

Don't forget to try the: wasabi peas , 2.99 chuck wine , "power berries ", and orange chicken if you aren't on a diet!

Molly LaFlesh

Block box wine is $10 for the equivalent of four bottles. Cheaper than Chuck Shaw and delicious!

David Chiu

new Spirits section: get your Woodford Reserve , Knob Creek , Bulleit, Maker's Mark , Hendricks, etc...

Shayna A

They have awesome Latka samples tonight! with applesauce :D check it out!

Eric Gibbons

Chocolate covered peanut butter wafers are jamming . Don't forget that they change the sample 3 times a day! Go for dessert ! And they have the best organic pink lady apples !

Jamil Siam

Blue fin Pinot Noir is only $3.99 and is divine fine wine ! Sure to please! I like!

Jonathan Summey

Avoid weekends from 10am-4pm, the high time when a slew of hungover coeds descend like zombies, texting while they shop, clog the store. Parking is horrible too.

Brett M. Rhyne

Welcome to the crossroads of Brookline! Guaranteed to meet at least one Muddy River Irregular while here.

Karen Pham

12 frozen macarons for $5? Sold. Replicates the real deal pretty nicely for a sweet treat to keep in your freezer.

Sara Segal

Great supermarket but it's a well known fact.

Navah

Go to Trader Joe's and make a b-line for the wine section . Excellent selection, advice, and cheer...the produce is good too :)

Tiffany Breyne

3 buck chuck is great, but so is the Purple Moon Shiraz , and it's only $3.99!

Rebecca Wilkof

Try the mini heirloom tomatoes from Mexico- they taste pre seasoned! So delicious!

Federico Rivera

Great place and nice people

Erika Shira

I'm not about to leave a tip because then you people will go buy the entire stock of whatever I recommend and there won't be any for me.

Maynard Clark

The #66 bus that passes is very unreliable and often bunches up with 1-2 other buses , can make 30-40 minute delay. At times, the C-line doesn't run (shuttle bus replacements).

Marcus Jason

Love the recent expansion. Well done.

Tessa Nichols

Walk or use public transportation instead of driving because the parking lot is ALWAYS the jump off!

Maynard Clark

Best soymilk ($2.99/container) and raw almond ($4.49/lb.) prices around.

Melissa Ng Pack

They don't have a lot of goods for baking. Like cake flour, vanilla beans , or granulated sugar

Alexandra Mottern

Great liquor selection
