About to be the most crowded TJ's in the known universe, but I love how compact and simple it is. TJ's has exceptional food at very fair prices on the whole. The Double Chocolate Brioche makes superb French toast!

Big shoutout to Christian!! My phone died so I couldn’t use my Apple Pay and he was super patient and he helped me charge my phone so I could pay. Don’t find good people and that quality of service everywhere!!<br><br>Been a regular here for a few months and is a great TJs with good service/quick line, but if you come after like 7 pm on weekdays, most of the meats are sold out. Line gets long after work hours and weekends.
I was in the city for an event, and there was a Trader Joe’s about a seven-minute walk from the venue, so I decided to stop in and pick up a few groceries. It was definitely more crowded than the one in my neighborhood, though they seemed to have a wider variety of products. The checkout line took around 10 minutes because of how busy it was. Overall, it was fine, but I prefer a less chaotic shopping experience.
Great location but always crowded or has a line. Its pretty well stocked if you go during the day.
Fresh produce , very organized and many cashiers , the wait is not long. Staff members are always there to support you when needed.
Today I come back to one of my Favorite Locations, and I tell you this kid packed everything for me dint need help made me leave with a smile definitely worth spending my money here and time while shopping fresh produce and being around so helpful and cool community in the Trader Joe’s speaking about staff. while checking out thanks to Brandon Till 29 Trans 2387
I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's. This address is conveniently located, but the location itself is small and because of the convenient location, the shelves are almost always difficult to keep stocked.
genuinely the worst trader joes I’ve ever stepped foot in, grocery shopping here feels like hell. its always crowded and the line of people waiting for checkout on the sides blocks ALL the main meats/produce. i feel like they should limit the amount of people that can enter during rush hr bc the store is way too small for the amount of ppl in here
This TJ's near 14th and 3rd is one to avoid. Due to the sheer amount of customers and NYU students, it can get very packed and run out of stuff quickly. They did open an express mart where the old wine shop used to be, but I am not sure it helps any. It is just a very crowded area over by Union Square, so be prepared to wait on line wherever you go.
My favorite location of Trader Joe’s in the city for nostalgic reasons. They got a good selection of everything. Fresh produce, dairy, meat, cheese, snacks, flowers, frozen foods, breads, nuts, canned foods, and seasonal items! Don’t come and shop on a weekends though, you will be waiting in line for a long time.
I often go this place to grab salad but yesterday I found bug in my Trader Joes Salad. I complained to the manager and he was behaving like it’s nothing new for him and he was telling me his experience in a restaurant having bug in food. I am shocked with the mangers behaviour. Though he refunded me.
🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🥀🌼🪷🪻🪻🪷💮🌼🥀🌻<br>I had the most delightful experience at Trader Joe's recently, thanks to their stunning and affordable flower selection! I picked up two breathtaking orchids for just $14.99 each—a price that’s truly unbeatable. After checking multiple locations, this store stood out not only for its affordability but also for its focus on plants and flowers, which makes it feel like a hidden gem for floral lovers.<br>What made the visit even more special was the joy these orchids brought to two of my friends on their birthdays. It felt amazing to gift something so beautiful without breaking the bank.<br>The staff was incredibly helpful and thoughtful, offering great tips on how to care for the orchids and keep them thriving. I was able to pop in while running errands and get everything I needed quickly and efficiently.<br>If you're looking for economical yet elegant flowers, this Trader Joe's location is a must-visit. 🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🥀🌼🪷🪻
One of the busier Trader Joe’s I have been to especially on a weekend evening.<br>I had no idea there was a TJ around Union Square. It’s pretty much like most TJ they have great selection of sauces and frozen food. Not a large selection of meat and seafood but enough to get by.
One of the better Tjs in the city. Has the feel of an older store with the red floors! This store is well stocked and not as busy as some of the other city stores at the time of day I shopped there. The friendliness and helpful you expect at TJs was met and exceeded here! Definitely made the “Joe’s trip” feel like easier than normal for the grocery run with no time waiting on checkout. Everything was fresh and to standard. Great TJ’s! Check them out for your next grocery trip 😎
Super clean! If you go after work the shelves are almost empty!! The line is super long! Whenever you go!! They have good variety of affordable food!!! Has always been my favorite grocery store
