It's hard for me to be objective about this place because my favorite thing about it is that it reminds me so much of home. With that said, I think we can all pretty much agree that this is not and will hever be the kind of place where you will do all your shopping. It will however be the type of place where you go for things that you can only get a Trader Joe's. Things like Orangina, and pretty kickass one person dinners. The help here is definitely not as attentive as they are in other places but that doesn't take aware from my love of this place.
One more thing that I love about this place is that even though it is a small little thing I have seriously somehow managed to spend over an hour in it, on several occasions. This place will always be one of my faves! They are always adding new things so it makes shopping here almost like an adventure. Did I mention that they also have samples. Not Costco status by any means but a little something to snack on it always popping in the back.
Trades Joe's, keep doing what your doing!
