Possibly the healthiest and most unique grocery store I've ever been in. I hear you can even get French and European foods here, which I think is really cool. They have good prices and are very clean .

Anastasia Giorgiova

Entrance & parking are in back. Get the truffle brownie mix & mix the TJ'S mini peanut butter cups in the batter before baking... You're welcome! & FYI: There is a shortage of almond butter in Philly!

Stephanie Mǎ

Great customer service. TJ wants you to be satisfied with your purchases so if you are ever unhappy with a product you have purchased, you can bring it back for a refund.

🍋 ◻️🍋 ◻️🍋 LEMON SQUARES 🍋 ◻️🍋 ◻️🍋 . Also: mochi , jerky , dried mango , five seed almond bars (perfect for last minute breakfast ), Asian stir fry vegetables , garlic naan , & quick-cook steel-cut oatmeal .

Maddie Lippincott

Stupid busy but staff is still very friendly and helpful. This location is also large compared to other locations so you have a lot of delicious choices.

Patrick Ward

Good grocery store . The line can get crazy but it moves quickly

Jeffery C

The fresh salsas are amazing! The line is always hella long, but it goes quickly as it has a "traffic director." I love any TJ and this location is no exception!

Greg Maughan

Best place for groceries in Center City if you're on a budget. Go in the morning during the week for small crowds!

Gary

Check out the new and improved Trader Joe's. They have incorporated the adjacent warehouse space into the store. Finally it looks like a grocery store !

kia

This Supermarket is always crowded , but the checkout line moves quickly! Good food and items here for great prices.

Do Hee Jeong

If you're also from the west coast, be prepared for some culture shock: huge lines almost all the time in the afternoon and onwards.

Terry Wilson

Just expanded and remodeled.Now with a single checkout lane! A shoutout to enthusiastic Mr. Hari who provided exceptional valet service at the checkout in addition to being efficient and knowledgable .

Nicole Gaddis

Only my first time since they changed it, but: yes, the single line feeding to all the registers *does* move quickly. Don't let the length fool you.

Gabriel Evans

Great sweets, and prepared foods. Don't be scared of the long line . It moves really fast.

Mike Myers

Fantastic shopping experience for a Philadelphia resident! Parking is in the back. Avoid shopping on Sundays. Go after 7pm!

Brandon Gibson

Great prices, great selection. Virgil's Root Beer is wonderful and all the selection of Trader Joe's Cheese . Helpfull staff .

Erin Nissley

Do not be fooled by the size of the line . It moves really quickly!

Steph Parker

If you're an earlybird, pulling yourself out of bed to grocery shop around 8am on a Sunday morning is much less stressful than during the week. It's my routine!

Cathy Henry

Friendly staff & efficient checkout process

Sezin Alagoz

love their kalamata olive hummus , dried mangoes , old amsterdam cheese , english breakfast tea , mandarin orange chicken .

Campbell Bird

This place gets crowded pretty easily. Otherwise, it's exactly like a Trader Joe's.

Shannon Kennedy

They just expanded this store so the typical maneuvering through the overpopulation of shoppers may no longer be as necessary :-) Thank you, TJ's

Chrissy Nickel

Long lines , but quickly moving. Great in house salsa

Try to come early! This is the only Trader Joes in Center City so be ready to play bumper cars.

Stephen L.

When it's busy, check out in the "Parkway" lane next to the express lane. Only one with a single line feeding two cashiers .

Angie K

Absolutely love that they made the place slightly bigger!! Made a HUGE difference!

Gigi

Caramelized onion dip is to die for! Don't leave without it!

Sam F

Stand around eating the free samples & drinking coffee until they ask you to move on. So far my record is 6 samples.

Norma R

The expansion is a huge improvement. Lines still get long but at least you can shop without constantly bumping up against people.

Ryan Hudak

Salt and Pepper potato chips are the best "plain" chips on the planet. Do yourself a favor and get a bag.

Emma McTague

The lines get insane during the evening. Go in the day

Jonathan Mceuen

The new apple butter with honey is a great light alternative to syrup on pancakes and waffles and stuff!

Chelsea B.

Philly Crew- you're doing it right. Love from some of the California Crew! ❤✌

Julie Lo

Looking for hipsters ? - you found the right place

CoCo_Cutie

Wide bright isles..friendly staff

Chris Richards

This place has mini-carts! They are necessary, though, because the place is always packed!

KeKe S.

The wine country chicken salad w/ cranberries & pecans is amazing!!!

Anastasiya Cleverclocks

Why would you ever shop anywhere else? I spent $50 on better food than what I usually get for $150 at every other grocery store

Bob Bruhin

It's Trader Joe's. What more needs to be said?

Christopher Jennison

The 1st nonexpress line , 'Parkway,' is always short and has two cashiers . No one seems to realize it for some reason.

Hexter

I second the Virgil's Root Beer tip. You can buy loosie's for less than a buck and the 4-pack is about $2 cheaper than whole foods!

Roc Mon

Wonderfulness

Christopher Jennison

The customers here walk around completely oblivious.

Tristan Rhodeside

TJ's has the best frozen meals ever

Amber D

Monday and Tuesday are the most crowed days at Trader Joes Shop any other time for shorter lines .

Melissa Wright

Bring your own reusable bag and get a raffle ticket for a gift card.
