    Talk to Marcus! He is super cool and knows a bunch about food and will spend as much time with you as you need to find all your food.

    The parking lot is a disaster at this Trader Joes. The store also has the highest concentrate of shoppers aimlessly wandering & standing in the middle of aisles blankly staring at the tomato paste.

    Serious selection of nuts, dried fruit and trail mixes. Grab a bag of pine nuts and tart cherries for these Tart Cherry & Pine Nut Biscotti. Get the recipe on kitchenkonfidence.com

    Seriously... With free coffee and food samples, you can't go wrong. Trader Joes knows hospitality.

    So happy to see they've expanded the TJ's in Silver Lake. So much more space! Definitely worth checking out. Love the Salsa Especial in the far back freezer section.

    Never come here for an avocado if you want to eat it soon. They're always super hard and never ripe. Cashiers are friendly though. If you have fancy glasses, you'll fit in.

    Protip: Say Cheese + Gelsons sell coffee. Don't bring your thermos and keep the free java sample line moving. It's rude to keep people who need to grind their beans waiting. Don't spoil a good thing. Read more

    They have a second lot behind MJ's. You have legs. Utilize both so you don't block Hyperion trying to get into the front lot.

    80 percent of the cashiers have attitude and/or are just unfriendly. It's pretty normal to go thru checkout and the cashier not say one thing to you. mgmt doesn't care enough train on cstmr service.
