Cell phone reception while inside Trader Joes is practically non-existent most of the time due to the structure above. Make sure you aren't relying on your phone to shop there.

Favorite neighborhood grocery store . As long as you stick to your basics, it's really quite affordable . Just don't go crazy with specialty stuff.

Kathleen Ognibene

I have picked up some nice quick recipes and tasty wines because I got to try them at the store. Their greeting card selection is a pleasant surprise, too.

90 minutes of parking is free in the garage with validation so you don't have to worry about street parking .

becca gibson

Don't forget to validate your parking ticket!

Nora Livengood

Parking is free up to 30 minutes. Recommended shopping list: wine , frozen Indian entrees, chocolate covered anything.

Char

Wow really great selection and not too crowded !

Joe Gattuso

This Trader Joe's is in a modern office building that takes up a full block between Washington and St. Asaph streets.

John Pascazio

The pay lot is free and there are two free lots on the upper level too.

The door to get in is actually in the parking garage . Walk in and the door is on the left.

Donna

I never buy my citrus fruit (lemons for my iced tea , limes for my guac ) anywhere else! Super cheap here!

Steven Schwark

Try the mystery beer - a brown paper bag-covered 6-pack with randomly selected brews.

Christina Worden

Good tortillas are hard to find in the DMV-Trader Jose's Handmade Tortillas remind me of the good stuff I find back home in AZ

Kellie Kent

Stop by the sample corner to try out the store's newest items!

Great store! Free covered garage parking . Friendly staff !

Craig Fifer

As of Feb. 2014, there are now two more cash registers for a total of 10!

Scott

It's like a new store every time you walk in. Because they can't stop rearranging where everything is.

Eric Spiegel

The Five Layer Mexican Dip with organic corn chip dippers are the best.

Joe Gattuso

I hate having to go into a pay lot just to go shopping, but that's life in the big city . And at least it is free.

Karena Bibbins

much cheaper than whole foods. the cheese selection and wine are out of control!

James Runkle

If you bag your own groceries , they give you a sticker.

Parking here is kind of a pain in the ass but the store is pretty nice.

Kathryn Z

Long lines on Sunday evenings... Great otherwise!

Bethany W

You can actually get a decent bottle of wine for under $5 here. INCREDIBLE.

Joe Gattuso

I'm fairly certain that the flowers here are less expensive than other stores.

Lindy Singleton

Note to self...don't come here the day after they are closed for a holiday! There is hardly anything on the shelves!! Maybe they will learn for next time?!?

Sean Dalton

Looking for a good (cheap ) wine ? Ask Bev, the wine department manager -- her tips are great.

Scott

They rearranged everything again.

Alex Rodriguez-Rozic

Banana bread mix is awesome!

Melanie Batenchuk

Whatever you do, DON'T lose your parking stub...it'll cost you $12! (even if you were there for 10 mins to shop at TJ's)

Ashley Brooks

Wine section = ????

Nick

TJs peanut butter cups . 'Nuff said.
