Maria MontesanoJuly 13, 2016Go during the week, early in the day (while most people are at work) if you can. Weekends its a ZOO! Affordable cheeses, nuts, prepared food, oils and snacks.Upvote28DownvoteUpvoted Feb 7
Ambika PaiJanuary 6, 2013If you happen to be gluten intolerant, ask for the list of gluten-free items. It's exhaustive and makes you feel like you can eat everything in the world! TJ love.Upvote21Downvote
Banana Nut Bread Oo Oo Oo Oo KieAugust 17, 2013This location is waaaay less crowded and lines waaaay less long than union square. Much better organization and low stress. Very pleased!Upvote18DownvoteUpvoted Feb 18
The Corcoran GroupOctober 16, 2013Try to avoid this location on weekends - can be a total mad house and by Sunday, they're out of stock of a lot of things. Your best bet is coming as early as possible on Monday for prime selection.Upvote17Downvote
Angona TranDecember 8, 2011Great selection of organic food at decent prices! Need to applaud on the friendly and excellent service. Oh yeah, and don't be discourage of the long lines, it goes by real quick and smoothly! Enjoy!Upvote4Downvote
Crazy crowded at most times, but the line is well-organized. Also a beautiful restored interior.Upvote4Downvote- Get the dark chocolate caramel with black sea salt bar.. it may be the best chocolate bar I've ever tasted.

Mary M MottaOctober 8, 2015this Trader Joe's location can get crazy out of control with their lines. go early in the day on a weekday to get the best selection and least wait times. produce here is decent and prices are good.Upvote2Downvote
Can get crowded but the line moves fast. Great products, great staff, great prices.Upvote3Downvote
The most beautiful grocery store you will ever find. TJ's took one of the grand old bank buildings from the 20s (1923) and actually showcased the architecture, unlike most owners of such buildings.Upvote1Downvote
Sunshinebrite StallworthFebruary 7, 2017Love the variety of food they have! The workers are so polite! It's crowded but the line moves fast!Upvote1Downvote
Rebecca MazzaJanuary 29, 2016Smaller than the Chelsea location but they still have a great selection of food and easily accessed from downtown Manhattan.Upvote1Downvote
Some of the products that carry the Trader Joe's brand are in fact amazing. We love the dumplings, the organic brown rice, the sea salt peanut butter and the dried fruits. You just have to try them!Upvote2Downvote
Nina MApril 4, 2010Love this place. Court Street is smaller, but I love the selection. Check out the Indian foods in the frozen section. I've created some great meals by combining with fresh ingredients.Upvote6Downvote
Park Slope NotarySeptember 26, 2013When this TJ's first opened, it was a great shopping experience. After its 1st 2 years, it's like any other NYC store. Get 'em in & fast. Or faster. Now they're only into the bottom line, NOT service.UpvoteDownvote
Can't beat TJ's prices especially on organic produce when in stock. Their products are comparable to any leading food brand. They just created their own Balsamic Glaze which makes me very happy!Upvote1Downvote
Everything here is amazing like the snacks and frozen foods. Cheap and good. But be careful: you will most likely buy more delicious goodness than you came here for.Upvote2Downvote
Colin HansonAugust 23, 2014Love this trader joes. Not nearly as busy as the ones in Manhattan and with 50 checkouts the line always moves super fast!Upvote1Downvote
there are usually some free samples in the southwest cornerUpvote2Downvote
Crunch GymOctober 28, 2010Cut you some flax. Try adding flaxseed or its oil to your meals. Trader's has it golden roasted, milled, whole, in cereal, in oatmeal. The health benefits are plentiful and the taste is yummy.Upvote7Downvote
Rachel RamdhanJuly 15, 2013Amazing TJs location. Nice and spacious and really easy to find what you need. Stocked up on all the good stuff :-)Upvote1Downvote

Concert Ticket AgencyOctober 2, 2012Hanging out at Mister Sundays or going to a game or concert at Barclays Center? Hit up this TJ's beforehand to stock up on snacks, good cheese, and cheap wine. #nomUpvote4Downvote
HolidayDecember 2, 2015I feel this TJ is the easiest one in NYC to get in and out except not in the evening. Shop strategically and you will always win.UpvoteDownvote
these are really delicious, nice and crunchy, not too sweet

CompassMay 14, 2014The borough’s only Trader Joe’s is a local claim to fame, offering big-scale convenience and pre-prepped gourmet takeaway that’s hard to find under one roof anywhere else.

Getting as bad as Park Slope Food Coop during peak hours. People shouldn't browse with a cart. Or on the phone. They're too spacey. My advice: Stow cart and grab a few things at a time.UpvoteDownvote
What makes this place horrible is the entitled customers. People rather push through you than use their words. But that’s why it’s all game if you swing and knock their head off.Upvote1Downvote
This is the prettiest Trader Joe’s ever. It’s housed in an old bank building. Enjoy the view while you save.UpvoteDownvote
Angeline BryantSeptember 1, 2016Maple leaf cookies are the best! Also cookie butter omgUpvote1Downvote
Old AmsterdamNovember 5, 2012Pick up some Old Amsterdam Cheese! It's a premium aged rich Gouda with a robust flavor. Check out our website for great recipe and pairing ideas.http://oldamsterdam.com/UpvoteDownvote
Sandra FransenMarch 21, 2014Great prices on nuts, cheese and flowers. It's a happy place. Go early on the weekends to get rock star parking.UpvoteDownvote
Colleen Newvine TebeauNovember 30, 2009Don't be discouraged by the long lines -- they move quickly and the staff is always pleasant. Where else can you buy yummy soy chorizo in a beautiful old bank with soaring ceilings and huge windows?Upvote4Downvote
Shopping, food prices, atmosphere. The lines can be long but they move fast.UpvoteDownvote
Check the coffee grinders for leftover beans from someone who didn't grind all their beans. Could lead to mixing of coffees or just more coffee, depends on how you look at itUpvoteDownvote
Small store that gets easily crowded but produce are always fresh!

jake furstApril 6, 2011Outside the door at Court and Atlantic is the high elevation pt of Cobble Hill, where cobble stones were disposed. They were used as a fort during both the Revolutionary War and War of 1812.Upvote6Downvote- This location gets a little crowded but the lines move very quickly!UpvoteDownvote
Jenny GomezAugust 8, 2011Wild Mushroom and Black Truffle Flatbread- Ridiculous. A bit of a splurge but hands down my favorite TJ's treat. Also best multi-grain English Muffins ever.Upvote4Downvote
Tom RileyNovember 21, 2016Make sure you come at 7pm to check out Brooklyn TJs store wide depth-first traversal queuing system.UpvoteDownvote
Almost always busy. The staff is always friendly. Yes, I know it's how they're supposed to be, but most of the time it isn't artificial.UpvoteDownvote- Mostly everything shopping at night is best less people, but the lines still move fast when it's crowdedUpvoteDownvote
Kyle TurmanDecember 23, 2014Can get really busy at certain times of the day, but they move the checkout line fairly quickly.UpvoteDownvote
This location's layout is kinda of confusing but there's always sexy people shopping so it makes up for it!UpvoteDownvote
Best potato chips and lemonade in the world
