Parking can be a pain, easier to come in from the back and park up top. Very long lines but moves quickly. Mind the basket only line .

RACER 5 6PK $9 Drake's Denogginizer $6 12oz cheap beer , small food selection but it helps you focus and actually shop for meals instead of having cereal and no milk once you get home. Busiest 6-9pm

Brian Strauss

The people who work here are nice. TJ's in general is not my favorite store concept. Prices are excellent. Love the peanut butter stuffed pretzels . Parking though is a nightmare at this location.

Megan Allison

My favorite TJ's in the bay . Always in stock in the riced cauliflower , rarely a mob scene.

Terry Sok

Yes, I know the lines seem long. Don't fret, they move quickly and the staff is great.

THE MURALS IN TRADER JOE PARKING LOT ARE WORTH THE TRIP

Crazy long line moves fast, great employees. If you need to split orders,be careful, sometimes even with sorting, and checking off items,they manage to mix them together.

Friendly staff . Helped me find a few things and gave me a tip on where to eat in the neighborhood .

Ken Mickles

The food labels here are amazing.

Ellen McGrody

Trader Joe's is rad and this one has an entire parking garage

Paula Wirth / Eat Drink Oakland

Go to Trader Joes for excellent wine at a hard-to-beat price. Their lilies are lovely right now, too! (Don't worry - the line is long, but it goes fast!)

Steve DS

They have some of the best bottled h2O - perfect for long road trips or head showers on summer days.

Regardless of what time of day it is you may run into a line . Tip contact corporate and ask for an express line or head to Emeryville.

Alex Kim

Like many other TJs, very friendly service and great selection of items.

Libby Lee-Egan

Never attempt a Saturday or Sunday afternoon if you don't want to completely lose your mind trying to park

Byron Wilkes

Lines are so long! Don't go on a Sunday. Produce and bread doesn't last long. Everything else canned or packaged has a much longer shelf life.

Avoid peak hours. The line wraps around the whole store.

Leena

awesome frozen items include mushroom turnovers, spinach & artichoke dip , and garlic nans

Pick up some soyaki sauce while you are here!

Jen S

Coffee ice cream is honestly the best very coffee-y

Rod S

This location's checkout lines are so empty on Thursday mid-morning between 10am til 1130am. It is a good time to shop without the wait.

Donna T

The line can be intimidating, but it moves quickly.

Justin Barnes

Parking is a challenge for those lacking patience. Good store, good people overall.

David Cox-Espenlaub

Ginger beer !

Willard Wheaton Davis

They even have Stevia for an herbal sweetener

Teresa Finney

Just straight up avoid this place on a Sunday evening. The line moves pretty quickly though.

Natasha Kuczynska

The line moves fast but parking is a nightmare any time of the day!

Good luck finding parking .. The lot is worse than SF parking

Parking is a zoo , but you should be able to land a space.

When using the bathroom , please lock the door so I do not walk in on you.

Alex Kim

Btw when did TJs start carrying hard liquor ?!

Terd Fergason

Bought produce... Got worms.

Don't come here between 1pm and 2pm. The checkers go to lunch and the lines are so slow they wind down the wine aisle.

Ambessa Cantave

Stay off Monsanto distribution please José

Best for its great selection of reasonably priced organic & conventional produce. Meat and seafood are also really good (think Whole Foods with 15% off). Best to avoid the aisles though. - PGitty
