Ana Belen CorderoSeptember 15, 2013Great option for great value! I used to shop for groceries at Safeway in Rosslyn. The 2 metro stops to Clarendon totally worths it. I bought more and with great value for the same price thab Safeway.Upvote9Downvote
Friendly staff, easy shopping... decent selection of wine! Organic choices, too!!Upvote9Downvote
Great wine selection! I also love the samples and variety. It is not your usual grocery store but a nice in between for those who want a bit of wholefoods with bit of wegmans or Harris teeterUpvote3Downvote
Looking for a decent bear for cheap? Get the BoatSwain Double IPA and HLV. Cheap and good. If you want something lighter check the Mission Heffeweizen.

90-min free parking with validation. My go-to for groceries, especially cheap organic bananas, Greek yogurt, frozen açaí :)UpvoteDownvote
Neko FerroSeptember 29, 2015Yes the line moves fast. Whoopey, that's like saying the unanaesthetized limb removal is fast. It still sucks. It's still stressful. Drive an extra 10 minutes to a TJ that is not like a yuppy riot.Upvote1Downvote- Try and come early in the morning to beat the long lines that pop up after 6 pmUpvoteDownvote
Really friendly staff but the lines are nightmarish and they frequently run out of inventory of popular products. Do not - I repeat, do not! - go on a Sunday. Ever.UpvoteDownvote
Nehanda LindseyMarch 10, 2013These guys move quickly! There's a HUGE line but I'm moving fast. Kudos to the staff!Upvote2Downvote
Brian WellsNovember 11, 2014I have always been impressed with the quality of tuna that they sell compared to everybody else.UpvoteDownvote
Donna DJanuary 8, 2012The line moves seriously fast! Dont be discouraged by the crowd! Try their daily samples, too!Upvote4Downvote
Validate your parking ticket at the desk near the registers. You get 2 hours free so use it!UpvoteDownvote
Everything is good and the staff is super friendlyUpvoteDownvote
So many hidden gems between the aisles and atop the frozen food section. Keep an eye out!Upvote1Downvote
Probably the least outgoing TJ staff, but they still very niceUpvoteDownvote
Liz Caselli-MechaelFebruary 22, 2015Don't let the line freak you out, it moves incredibly quicklyUpvoteDownvote- No phone service and free parking in the Garfield parking garage behind the store. Don't forget to get it validated -good for 90 mins.Upvote2Downvote
On Sundays get here btwn 10-2 before the craziness hits. Friendly staff!UpvoteDownvote
Park on Lower level G2. It is more civilized, less crowded and plenty of spots.UpvoteDownvote
Kurt JJune 15, 2012Excellent Trader Joe's and awful phone reception. Can't call or text for some reason.UpvoteDownvote
Like the Metro-labeling theme! Lines rival G'town branch. Not a quick in-and-out.UpvoteDownvote
Well-stocked, good prices, and friendly staff!UpvoteDownvote
JJ RamirezJanuary 8, 2012I am a slave to the turkey jerky and raisin rosemary crisps!!UpvoteDownvote
Actually opens sometime in November 2011 *fingers crossed*; current target 11/18 according to one employee doing store prep.Upvote1Downvote
Monica RemmersJuly 7, 2013No home goods (paper towels, soap, etc.) at this location :-(UpvoteDownvote
They raised the price of Nametag! This is an outrage!Upvote2Downvote
Avoid going there on Sundays.. The crowd is just outrageousUpvote3Downvote
Jackie Shmackie💋June 8, 2014No two buck chuck💸 More like double the price two buck chucksUpvoteDownvote
Horrible phone coverage inside; don't count on getting your spouse's "hey, we're out of milk" call. Even text reception is iffy.Upvote12Downvote
