Trader Joe's is one of my favorite stores for excellent quality organic fruit & vegetables. Their selection of Frozen Foods is outstanding and their House Brand Cereals are delicious. Well-priced.

Trader Jor's has the best selection of vegetarian foods! I don't know how I survived before I found TJ's. They have new and interesting products all of the time and don't rely on the fake meat products like some pricey health foods stores. Cant beat the prices!

This store has all the basics plus some other tasty treats, It is NOT the huge TJ's but it does have enough food to hold over a family for a week or so, parking is pretty easy too, only NEG is sometimes it does get crowded!

This Trader Joe's beats the other nearby one (3rd and LaBrea) because parking here is always easier, as is getting in and out of the parking lot. The selection is always good, especially on prepared foods and salads (I recommend the Chicken Curry or the Tomato/Mozarella salad with pine nuts).

5 Stars: No Frills Gourmet and Organic Food (by j h.)

After hearing about 2-Buck Chuck and various yuppie delights, my first trip to Trader Joe's came as a shock -- the dumpy facade and sign reminded me of a Big Lots closeout store. They have great deals on certain items, but you get what you pay for when stepping up to organic and gourmet, although less than if you other stores in this class. I will return here, but will still use my savings club card at Ralph's for most of my core purchases.

PROS: Quality, selection, cheaper than other stores in its class
CONS: Expensive for those who can't afford to eat well

5 Stars: If you are looking for Speciality foods.. (by Jaime S.)

Trader Joe's has the best selection of speciality foods. Their selection of healthy products most of which are exclusive to them are top-rate. Both for quality and value. I shop there several times a week, for produce, dairy, meat, fish and bread. They are constantly getting in new products and everyday have a sampling area where their customers can try some of the staff's favs. I have found many a new favorite this way. I would recommend this place to any one who is interested in healthy food for a great price

PROS: Quality Product
Great Value
Good Location
CONS: Small Parking lot at this location
Closes at 9pm

Excellent for the quality of food you get and how little you have to pay for it!! This location is bigger than most you see anywhere in Los Angeles so selection/availability is more reliable. The popularity of this chain is in its organic and affordableproduce/grocery selection but don't overlook the amazing deals in the wine area too!!
