This is another grocery store that specializes in organic foods. You can get free-range meat, minimally-processed milk, and fresh guacamole and vegetables. They also have a great wine selection along with a lot of imported beers and microbrews. Sometimes, if your are lucky, there is someone offering samples while you shop.

PROS: Good beer/wine selection. Tasty food and great vegetables
CONS: Can be more expensive than traditional grocery store

I have to admit, I do not see the excitement about Trader Joe's. Many of my friends swear by it, but when I went, I was disappointed. Yes, they sell unusual foods, but overall, the selection was small and the prices high. I would rather shop somewhere where I can get all the food I need and pay less at the same time. It is a good place to find those unusual items, though.

I can't think of one person who does not like grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. Fortunately, there are several throughout the city and they are all consistent with their service, quality and selection of grocery items. There are loads of healthy and low cost foods. The staff is also always very energetic and friendly. And, I love the tasting station that always has something to sample.

PROS: Great Selection, Parking Availalbe
CONS:

So, you go to an all natural grocery store looking for good quality, taste, and high prices. Well, Trader Joes is beyond the last one. The taste and quality sky rockets over the prices. With its tiky island goer feel, the shopping experience is more enjoyable due to the great selection of healthy(and good tasting) and decent priced food. Try Trader Joes Natural Squeezed Orange Juice or their multitude of ravioli flavors. Also, the frozen section is a perfect resolution to your dinner problems. Pre-fabricated frozen dinners with great nutrition are there to your rescue. Not only is the store a great place to go, the staff make it better. You will never leave without someone not trying to help you or asking you if you are getting what you are needing.

PROS: Friendly staff, great food choices, low prices, fun atmosphere
CONS: NONE!

Trader Joes carries a great selection of foods, lots of organic items, a great wine selection to meet any budget, and is a joy to shop at. You will find many unique labels and food items. Great for when you finally tire of all the mass-marketed processed food items found at most other grocery stores.
