This has become my new shopping spot when I want quality food at a low price. Their selection is second to none and they have free parking. It's a bit out of the way for me but it's worth the trip. 👍🏼

Dropped off some things for a friend on the island and decided to come shop here. I fell in love with this location. It’s larger than the one I go to in Brooklyn and the ladies who checked me out were fantastic. I will come back again for sure. It’s worth the drive and paying the toll.

This is a great place to buy organic food and it operates with a different model than most grocery stores: there are no sales with deep discounts, but most things are reasonably priced to begin with. There are only two Trader Joe's on Staten Island so this store is usually pretty busy.

I enjoy going to Trader Joe's wherever I see one. The staff is usually pleasant and courteous. I also enjoy their products and product portions.

This store has so many things I love: the frozen section is packed with winners (mandarin orange chicken, cauliflower gnocchi, and those everything bagel-seasoned snacks are addictive), the cheese and wine selection is excellent for the price, and I always grab a few of the seasonal or limited items (the cookie butter, seasonal flowers, and trail mixes never disappoint). The produce is usually fresh and reasonably priced, and the private-label products are creative and tasty.

I always enjoy shopping in Trader Joe's. They carry a large variety of good food choices and decent prices. They have beautiful fresh cut flowers & potted plants. All the employees are knowledgeable, helpful & super friendly.

My absolute favorite store! Organic and unique food that you will never get bored with! Joey in Fresh veggies and fruit is an absolute delight and Donovan is one of the mgs that is always there to lend a helping hand-in any capacity! Excellent store, excellent service, the absolute freshest produce on the island! 💜☮️-Lorraine N.

Still my go-to place for groceries on Staten Island.<br>BUT: the quality has severely deteriorated while the prices have increased by 25% - 50%. I rarely by produce here anymore. Bread, chocolates, seasonal items are more expensive than Lidl and Aldi down the road.<br>The only upside is that the staff are still both friendlier and more knowledgeable than in most US grocery stores.

The store is clean and well stocked. Most of the employees are friendly. A couple times I got charge for a different item. I didn't notice until I got home. Be sure to check receipt before leaving for sure.<br><br>This store is too crowded. I think customers forget there's a second location on Staten Island, which is quiet.

Spacious TJ’s with lots of parking. Seasonal offerings and they still have the Halloween mini totes on the wall by the cashiers.

It’s my go to place but if you don’t know what day to go in you will not find stuff you ate looking it’s almost always empty with product and full of shoppers,

Great store with many unique and quality produce and shelf-stable food items I can't find elsewhere nearby. The seasonal and holiday selection of groceries is amazing. There are always new items in stock that I am always keen to explore. The employees are helpful and you always feel welcome and like at home.
