| - This location just opened up a few days ago. I have read some of the other reviews for other locations and agree for the most part. Normally, I would make the trip to Trader Joes, but was pleased to see a Fresh & Easy opening a little closer to home. They had a decent selection of pre-made sandwiches, and sushi, and pasta dishes, but I have to say I am more impressed by what Trader Joes has to offer. I was very impressed with their produce however. They had a great selection, and everything looked really appetizing. I am not sure if it will be a regular occurrence or if it was just because they recently opened, but they has some people walking around with samples. I tried the kettle chips and they were tasty. They have a decent wine selection, and they seemed reasonably priced. Today I got a nigiri sushi tray (which was not all that great), trail mix (yummy), a fresh fruit salad(very good), and a pasta dish (which I haven't tried), and some random snacks. I was only going to give 3 stars, but I added a star for the really personable staff. All of the lanes are self check out, but I got help without asking, and she even bagged my groceries. When I left, there was someone at the door who gave me a free reusable shopping tote (kinda flimsy, not as nice as the ones you pay for, but hey, it was free!) and a bunch of coupons. As long as comparisons are being made, I have to say I like Trader Joes better, but I will probably go back for convenience and the friendly staff.
I have gone back since my last review, and I have to say I become more impressed each time. I really liked the Thai Style Green Curry Chicken. I am also a huge fan of their frozen molten lava cakes...mmm. Finally, I have decided that I am hugely impressed by the collapsible utensils found in their ready to go meals!!
