If you happen to have the pleasure of having Ned as your bag guy, you're in for a treat - one of the nicest dudes ever!!
Really tightly packed interior with lots of grocery cart traffic jams , and parking is slim, but the staff is beyond cool and everyone treats you like family once you show up a few times.
Very well maintained store, friendly staff ! Definitely my favourite Trader Joes so far.
legit store, good selections good collection of wines , they lack moscatos wines , but they have large collection of reds.
Hooray Mayor status! ;) I love the wraps and salads for a quick on the go meal. & cheap beer and wine ! ♡
This place used to be my fave store, when I lived in LA. Only place I got Finnish candy when I got home sick. I remember the shopguy Ned even treating me with candy after I had the worst day ever.
Nice grocery store , always great service, good quality of products
Bring your own bags or pay for paper bags @ 10 cents each or buy reuseable bags starting @ a dollar each.
Great staff but as always the parking lot sucks!!!
Don't shop hungry unless you want to leave with more than you came for
Avoid going on Sunday mornings. It's packed with tons of people because of the farmer's market .
Best grocery chain in US
When entering from Pico , turn right after the pedestrian crosswalk instead of left. Usually room to park there.
Avoid during peak hours. It's easier to get into a popular nightclub and less room to move around too.
Beware of Raymond. He insists on taking your cart for you & doesn't stop babbling incoherently for a while
cashiers are friendly here 8-)
Get the Robert Hall wine ! It's my fav!!
Yes they ARE zombies! They just look like people. Welcome to Santa Monica.
I know Trader Joe's typically has bad parking but this place is joke. The selection at this particular Joe's is subpar compared others that I go to. A horrible place to grocery shop.
The chicken wrap with pesto vinaigrette is SOO GOOD. Makes for a simple lunch
Best selection of inexpensive flowers .
parking is impossible during peak times! Find a close street spot after 6PM if you can!
Open until 10pm now! Gummy vites are a must. Nom nom.
Microwavable Butter Chicken . My favorite!
You're not very far away at all. If you're a friend, you should come over and say 'hi'.
Organic and grass-fed steaks. Pricier than regular supermarkets, but very good. - Cherie H
recommend getting the sandwich special. smoke their own tri tip, comes with a side & a drink for $6.99z quality of brisket, tri tip, chicken, etc all excellent! - Ruth Nakada
I really like this store. One of the better ones in Santa Monica. The sushi is good here too! - Geoffrey Booth
The heirloom tomatoes this time of the year are perfectly ripe, and incredible. A great snack paired with the peanut sauce from the sushi section. - Dress for the Date
All the food and juices are amazing. I personally love the mufaletta panini sandwich. And, If you're super nice, Ron might treat you to a special lemon / cayenne pepper shot. - Jeremiah Knight
